We all froze. "Werewolves are disgusting," Sam said in disdain. "Why you on Pack territory?! I want you gone!"

"Dont be such a racist," i said glaring, taking a step in his direction. Though mostly because of how close Bella was to him.

"This is our land," he said, eyes darkening.

"I dont see your name on it," Adam said distinctly. "Or have you peed on a bush none of us have noticed?"

I couldn't help the snicker at that comment. Sure, it could've been directed at me, but it wasn't, so it was funny.

"Your a werewolf?" Paul asked, an unreadable look in his eyes.

I hesitated, worried that whatever hope had dredged up would disappear. "Kind of," i said, unable to contain my happiness again.

"You weren't a week ago," Jake commented, but neither of us looked away from the other.

"Because a week ago she wasn't," Brandon said, always the voice of reason. Which was ironic considering out tempers. It was quiet now, and i could just tell Sam was itching to rip me in half. Paul just looked confused, and a little hurt. I wasn't sure why, so i avoided looking at him. "Why dont we all take a deep breath and sit down before someone gets hurt," he said distinctly.

"Jake, go let the other's know where we are, and tell them to tighten up the lines until i give the order," Sam said, not taking his eyes off me. Jake left, after throwing a look at Isabel.

We all stood tensely and then i let out a frustrated breath. "Look, patience isn't like my strongest virtue, so can you fuck off with the staring?" i growled at Sam. He glared back.

"Well it's good to know your attitude has returned, i was beginning to worry," Cole said sarcastically. I moved towards Isabel, gesturing for her to go into the living room. We all filed in, and i made sure Isabel sat close to a window. Was i always this over protective of her? Maybe it was just because she seemed so vulnerable. But too be fair, humans were nearly impossible to protect. I couldn't help the smile as i was once again reminded of how not human i was again. I could just feel the howl Aleera called, rejoicing as much as myself.

Connor re-entered the room, a bottle of whisky in hand. He took a drink, passing it around. Sam declined, but Paul took three long gulps before passing it on. "How are you werewolf?" Sam asked finally.

"Same way your a shifter, born that way, all of us were," i said shrugging. At least we all weren't looking like we wanted to kill each other.

"But your human, at least, you were a week ago. Bella is," Paul pointed out, finding his voice. "So is everyone else in the room."

"That's a rather long complicated story," Gwen said quietly.

"Summarize it then," Sam said coldly. I was seriously tempted to hit him. He had such a condescending tone and angry expression i felt bad for anyone under his command. I snuck a glance at Paul, who was watching me unashamed.

"Two years we were one of the strongest werewolf Packs in the united states. A war broke out in Arizona between many different species. There was some sort of energy or something, that had unimagineable power. Everyone wanted it, everyone wanted to rule. The Council ordered that it be handed over to them, but not one really knew what or where it was. In a huge battle, a lot of our pack died. At the end of it, the rest of the world believed that we had this special energy or whatever. So we split up, because we were all being hunted, and we hid," Isabel was quiet, the words were sad and she seemed to struggle to keep her breathing normal. But i could see what she was thinking of. She was thinking of Toby.

I took her hand, squeezing it lightly and she shook her head, taking the bottle from Nate who was currently taking a drink. He glared at her, as she took a long pull and Zack spoke before the rest of us.

"Several months are we split up, each of us came to realize we were unable to change forms. We had become human, there aren't a lot of ways an entire pack or coven can have their energy stripped entirely, so we have a pretty good idea of what happened. Regardless were all vulnerable and until we learned that there was a hit on us, we all kept quiet. The Council wants our entire pack destroyed. It wasn't until a few weeks ago that we learned why. Everyone seems to believe that Isabel and Luna have whatever that energy is," he said, everyone looking at us now.

"We dont know anything really, other then it being powerful," i said awkwardly. "But i was attacked, and that's why i moved here. Isabel being here was just dumb luck."

"So if none of your pack can turn into wolves, how come you can?" Sam asked, eyes narrowed. I was really starting to hate him.

"I shouldn't be able to," i said nervously. "There's something wrong with me. These little changes have been happening for a while. I haven't been able to shift until tonight, we dont know why i can and no one else can."

"What other changes?" Paul asked. Adam and Isabel just looked to me now, unsure of whether or not to tell them.

"Nothing important. Right now we just need to figure out why the Council wants us dead, and why everyone thinks Is and i have this big power thing," i said shaking my head. As much as i wanted to tell Paul what was happening, to tell him everything. i didn't trust Sam.

"So if she can change, will the rest of you be able to?" Sam asked carefully, looking at everyone in the room now.

"We dont know, it's too soon to tell. Whatever if different about Luna, doesn't measure up to the rest of us. She's always been different. We can't assume the rest of us will get our wolves back, just because she does," Connor said cautiously. "For right now, the answer is no."

"Do the Cullen's know about you?" Paul asked Isa suddenly, suspiciously.

As if on cue, Jake burst through the door, breathless and eyes wide. "The Cullen's are demanding to see Bella, they think we've kidnapped her or something."

Isabel and i shared looks, and burst out laughing.

"Does that answer your question?" she asked, grinning from ear to ear.

"Why haven't you told them?" Jake, asked in disbelief.

"I didn't think i would ever see my sister again, let alone be able to shift," she said awkwardly.

"Your sisters?" the three of them asked in surprise, anger and disbelief.

"Yeah, same litter," i said frowning at their expression.

"Litter?" Paul asked eyes wide. "Like cats?"

"Wolves," i corrected. "Werewolves are born in litters, like wolves."

They all shared looks and i suddenly felt uncomfortable. "It's not like we hatch from eggs. Were not fairies."

"Fairies hatch from eggs?" Paul asked when Jake said, "fairies are real?"

We all shared looks, "you guys aren't well educated are you?"

"This is-," Jake just shook his head and looked dizzy.

"Bell you should go home," i said to her, quietly. "At least to speak to them."

"Come with me?" she asked warily. I can't blame her, it would be scary telling a coven of vampires that one of their mates is a werewolf that couldn't change forms.

"They might attack me Bell," i said hesitantly.

"I'll go with her," Adam spoke up. "They'll be worried, but they wont jump to conclusions like they would Luna."

"Bring her back when their done talking," i said under my breath. I didn't want her too far, especially with this many supernatural's around and almost none of us capable of being handy in a fight. Adam nodded slightly.

"Here," Nate said, tossing him a set of keys. "Bring it back in one piece."

"Sure thing," he said, and the two of them left.
