Bella POV

"Imprinting? For cereal? I imprinted on him back?" I asked, absolutely stunned. Quill pulled me into his arms and hugged me tightly. Even if I wanted, I couldn't pull away. Someone could've chained me there, and I wouldn't have felt any different. Nothing else mattered right now. I had everything I ever needed in Quill.

"So you're okay with that?" Quill asked. I was stunned.

"How the fuck could I not be?" I stated. He shrugged his shoulders while muttering sorry.

"Okay, we're going to need a pack meeting. So we can introduce Bells here as a new wolf. And you as her imprint." Sam said while smiling. Quill nodded enthusiastically. I laughed; he was like a little kid that got everything he wanted on his birthday.

"So, what do you look like as a wolf?" Quill asked.

"Fuck, she's beautiful Quill, Dark, and dark grey. Almost black. It's amazing; I've never seen anything like her!" Sam bragged on. Oh god... Quill kind of growled.

"What?" Sam asked innocently.

"She's officially my best friend." He finished, throwing his arm around my shoulders.

"Hey, how come when we phased, we all hit at least 6'2 and Bells is still the same height?" Quill asked Sam.

"Good question... Really good question..." He mused.

"In other words... You have no clue, do you Sammy?" I said in an amused voice.

"Nope. None at all." He admitted sheepishly scratching the back of his head. I laughed at him.

"So, bonfire tonight, at 8?" Sam said. Quill and I nodded.

"Okay, see you Bells, Quill." Sam said quickly hugging me, then heading out the door before Quill could thump him on the back of the head.

"Over protective much?" I said, clearly amused.

"I'm sorry. Blame the wolf." He said.

"Right... Bad wolf..." I said. He growled and kissed my lips softly.

"Oh is that all?" I said, faking hurt. I turned and ran for the door, still faking hurt. I have to say, I was doing well.

"Bella! Bells honey. Wait, I'm sorry." Quill said coming after me.

I ran out to the tree line, and thought of Quill rejecting me, my hands were shaking. I kept sprinting until I landed on all fours. I smirked.

'Shit, Bella... You were faking?' Quill said.

I laughed, 'Yep, I sure was.'

'Bitch!' He yelled, stopping dead in his tracks. I turned to look at him.

'Well... Yeah.' I replied. 'I was just joking...' I thought sadly.

I turned around and sprinted through the forest. I was a good head smaller than Quill, and even smaller then to Sam.

'Wait, Bella. I'm sorry.' Quill thought desperately. My eyes filled with tears, but I wouldn't let them fall. I had to stop running from everything and face it. Head on.

'What?' I thought angrily. He bowed his head in shame.

'I'm sorry, babe. I- I don't know, I just... I don't know, I'm sorry..." He thought. I could feel his pain, and it made me whimper. I fell on my side. Quill was there immediately. He nuzzled my side and the pain stopped. The fuck?

'Sorry... again. You felt my pain.' He informed me. I nodded, standing up again.

'Can we just run?' I asked hopefully.

"Sure!' He said, just as excited.

'Race you!' I yelled taking off.

I threw my head in the air and let out a happy howl. Quill followed my lead. We were sprinting, dodging trees, jumping trees.

'What's wrong?' - Jared.

'What? Nothing's wrong.' - Quill

'Why'd you howl?' - Embry

'It was a happy howl...' - Me

'I told you!' - Sam

'You guys want to join our run?' - Me

'I was with Kim, so I'll have to skip...' - Jared. Then there was a shimmer and Jared was gone.

'I will.' - Embry & Sam. I flashed in my mind where we were.

I smiled, pushing my legs harder and faster, I was the fastest. Sam reminded us about the bonfire that was going to start in an hour.

'An hour? Shit! Where did the day go?' - Me

'Well, we've got our own hyper active wolf.' - Sam

'My hyper active wolf.' - Quill. Then Quill barked. I howled with laughter, and then everyone joined in.

'Okay guys, I'm going to go get ready. Coming, Quill?' I asked.

'Yapp!' - Quill.

'Whipped...' - Sam.

'Don't you know it?' - Me

'He does know it. Em's got him good...' - Quil.

'I hope you mean Emily.' - Embry

We laughed again. I ran back to my place in La Push, Showered and stood in my closet wondering what to wear. I ended up deciding on black skinny jeans, dark purple converse, and a tight black paramore hoody. I straightened my hair and put on some light make up. With my enhanced hearing, I heard light footsteps treading up the stairs. I smelt the woodsy scent of my Quill. I smirked, I'll play along...

His footsteps got closer and closer until he was right behind me, I didn't turn around. I just screamed.

"Ahhhhh!" Quill yelled as well. I fell on the ground laughing.

"Oh ... my ... god... haha, sorry baby... That was hilarious!" I said. Quill huffed and crossed his arms.

"Don't be such a girl." I said. He looked at me funny.

"What?" I said.

"Nothing, let's go." I nodded.

Quill entwined his hand with mine and led me to the bonfire. Jake sat there with his imprint in his lap. His eyes looked at me, then down to mine and Quill's hands, and he glared.

"What?" I snapped. He instantly looked at the ground.

"I like her!" I heard a feminine voice. I looked up to see a tanned girl with long ebony hair and green eyes. She was beautiful. She was taller than me, standing at about 5'9, but she was slender. Gasps were heard all around.

"What?" We both snapped. We instantly looked at each other again and smiled.

"Leah." She said extending her hand.

"Bella." I said shaking her hand.

"Don't turn my girl into a cold bitch, Leah." Quill said jokingly. Leah glared at him.

"Oh, shut the fuck up Quill." Leah replied, smiling at me still. She grabbed my hand and dragged me down to sit with her. Quill followed. I sat on the log and Quill stayed standing.

"What's wrong?" I asked. He just looked at me. Then lifted me up, sat down and pulled me into his lap. I heard a growl and looked at Jake.

"The fuck are you growling at, fuck face?" Leah growled right back.

"Leah?" I said.

She turned her head to look at me. "Yep?"

"Have I told you, I love you?" I laughed.

"We're like long lost sisters!" She hugged me. I laughed and agreed.

The elders started talking about the legends. Then he started talking about the new wolf and two new imprints.

"So, who's the new wolf, and the imprints?" Jake asked dumbly.

"Want to find out?" I spat.

"Bitch." His imprint whispered.

"I can hear you." I said, glaring at her. She visibly cowered. Billy cleared his throat; I turned my glare on him. I was not one person to be messed with.

"Quil imprinted on Bella." Billy started but was cut off.

"Are you fucking serious?" Jake yelled.

I stood up "The fuck does it matter?" I screamed in his face. I was shaking badly. Sam ran up toward me and wrapped an arm around my waist, and one under my legs lifting me up and running with me. He put me a distance away from everyone. Then I exploded into my grey wolf.

"... And Bella's the new wolf." Billy finished. Leah started laughing. I shot her a look silently asking for clothes.

"Yep, follow me, Hun." She said. I smiled at her.

"She's not a wolf! She's too small!" I heard Jake yell. In a split second I was in his face growling.

"S-sorry, Bells." He said. I growled again.

'It's not Bells to you, you fucking ass!' I thought angrily.

"Bells!" Leah called. I smiled and trotted after her. Quill followed me. The boy was like a lost puppy. But I'm not complaining.

"Here you go. You managed to kick off your converse in time though, so they're saved." She said smiling while running her hand through my fur. I took the clothes in my mouth while nodding my thanks.

I phased and changed into the blue denim skinny jeans and dark purple tank top then I pulled on my saved converse. Quill was instantly by my side. He picked me up and placed me on his back. I leaned over and kissed his cheek.

"Love you." I whispered.

"I love you too." He said.
