Chapter Seventeen
Jacob's Point of View
Authors Note: Who actually reads these?
We sit on the couch staring each other down; Bella lies against my chest breathing in and out to the rhythm of my heart beating. Her hands trace my stomach muscles making them tickle just a little bit. Across from me sits Solomon holding Rebecca, and Paul holding Rachel. She accepted it more than we thought she would. Sam sits in a rocker, next to dad. Emily is in the kitchen cooking, she wouldn't let the other girls help for some reason. Harry sits near Sam with Sue next to him. Leah and Seth are out on Patrol and Quil is keeping Claire occupied. Guess he imprinted on her; it's kind of a shock but he keeps insisting its nothing romantic; he's simply a big brother to her right now. They sit in the dining room with a bucket of blocks and she keeps hitting him in the head with one then he falls over all dramatic screaming clutching his head just to make her laugh. It was pretty entertaining the first ten times but now it's kind of annoying. Jared is standing watch outside, looking like he's chopping wood. I think dad just didn't want to do it.
"Well" Sam begins, leaning forward in his chair.
"I imprinted on Rebecca when I was up here visiting. She decided it would be best for us if we moved back where my pack was" Solomon confessed, we all look to Rebecca.
"Well I didn't know there were wolves here" She whines folding her arms across her chest.
"Well since you know, would you like to move up here? I'll give you a spot in my pack" Dad offers.
"Uh sure, I'll have to call my Alpha to let him know" He says pulling his phone out. "Uh hey Sam what did you say your last name was?" He asks not looking at anyone, still clutching the phone.
"Uley" He responds in a monotone voice, we look back and forth between Sam and Solomon.
"Uh" Is all he says.
"Solomon's alpha is also his uncle, his name is Sam Uley Sr." Rebecca explains closing her hands around Solomon's, making him look up at her.
"I thought it was just a coincidence when Becs told me when she said we were coming up here to visit" He pauses to turn to look at Sam "But now that I know you shape-shift too, I see now that it might not be a coincidence."
"My father is your Uncle?" Sam asks. Ahh shit that makes me related to Sam somehow.
"Yes"
"I didn't know there were wolves in Hawaii" Bella says speaking up.
"Well technically there isn't, not that humans know about anyways. We have to be extra careful to not be seen; only coming out at night." He says to Bella. "You see there aren't many vampires that come that way anymore. So we aren't really needed there"
"Would it be easier for your packs to move up to this area?" Emily asks, setting down a plate of brownies on the coffee table.
"We'll yes" He says, "But that may bring our problems to you as well" He states, we all lean in a little closer as if it will help us hear better. Not that we need too. "You see, the vampire's king once came to our land several years ago, he saw that we only phase at night and assumed we were something else. We manages to fight them off for the most part, but there is always that threat that they'll come back, or look for us when they think they are strong enough to fight us. That's why I phased on your land, I smelled the vampire smell; but turns out I was wrong; you have vegetarians so to speak living close to her instead of the human eating ones" He explains calmly.
"We know, they were here not that long ago. Said they would come back. The vegetarians you say live here, we also know about them. The leader is a doctor that is in on the secret. We are letting them stay for that reason. The one of the other females can also see the future and told us of their arrival" Sam says.
"I also noticed, you have a female werewolf" Solomon inquires, looking out the window to the spot where Seth and Leah were probably trying to listen in.
"Yes, that's Leah; Emily's cousin and daughter of Harry and Sue" Sam says, his voice sounds strained.
"Do you know much about the history of female werewolves?" Solomon asks. "I myself don't remember it exactly I could call the pack and have them come up here to meet you all and we can exchange history of our packs"
"That would be great. Leah feels so lost, she calls herself a freak. Maybe if she had some insight it would give her a break." Sue says.
"Yeah us too" Paul mutters under his breath, we all laugh a little but the look from Sue is a painful one.
"She is anything but" Solomon says. "Female wolves are a rarity, why does she consider herself a freak"
"She thinks she a dead end. She doesn't have any girly cycles anymore, and thinks she'll never be able to have kids. She thinks something went wrong in the gene pool"
"That is the craziest thing I have ever heard! We are lucky to have just two female wolves; one of which is my sister Sally. Female wolves can only be imprinted on; and if they phase it guarantees that their mate is out there somewhere. Which also means she can only be imprinted on by a shape shifter. They also possess a gift that allows them to phase without losing their shorts so to speak, we don't understand how this is, but it is a learned gift. My sister prefers to wear rompers"
"Really?" Leah asks walking into the house.
"Leah you're supposed to be on patrol"
"Yah but you guys are talking about something that includes me, so I decided Seth can handle it"
"I'll take her spot" Quil says, puts the sleeping Claire on to the couch next to Rachel.
"Fine" Sam says as Leah takes a seat next to Bella.
"I'm gunna go call Sam" Solomon says getting up from his seat to make the call outside.
"You hear that, now we don't have to see Leah naked anymore" Paul jokes earning a slap on the back of the head from Sam as he walks across the room towards the kitchen. "Ow what the hell was that for?"
"What do you think it was for idiot" Leah growls at him.
"I can feel the love" Rebecca jokes, "Well on a lighter note, Solomon and I are pregnant" My jaw drops as the room goes silent everyone eyes fix on Rebecca, Rachel scoots over just a hair away from his sister.
"They're on their way" Solomon says breaking the silence of the room.
