Chapter Twenty - New Alpha

BPOV

Sleep was taking over me yet again. My eye lids went heavy and I felt darkness take over me-

"Bella! Come on sweetheart you need to stay awake." Paul's calming voice whispered into my ear. I instantly lifted my head up off the table in my last lesson of the day, Art. I was starting to wish that I had slept for more than three hours last night. All day I had been falling asleep in my lessons and Paul had to keep nudging me. In English Jared had to keep chucking paper at me to keep my eyes open and to keep me awake. I tried to persuade my Dad to let me have the day off school but he pointed out that it would be to suspicious if he let me and the guys off school, so we were all here facing the long day but none of the guys seemed to be anywhere close to falling asleep.

The bell rang to signal that it was time to go home. I nearly jumped for joy, I would have if I wasn't so damn tried.

"Are you ready to go home Bella?" Paul asked me. I nodded and we walked to his truck.

The ride home was quiet because neither of us had the strength to speak. When we pulled up outside my house, I gave Paul a quick loving kiss and he remaindered me we need to go to Sam's for dinner tonight.

As soon as I got in the house, I ran to my room and collapsed on my bed and darkness instantly covered me.

--

"Bella" I woke up to Charlie shaking me. "Bella we need to be at Sam's in half an hour." He left me as I got changed and re-did my hair.

In no time at all me and Dad were walking into Sam's house. It was really clean and tidy, just how I imagined it. Emily likes everything to have a place and for everything to be in it's place.

As soon as I entered the living room, Paul saw me. He stood up and pulled me into him for a passionate kiss. The kiss was sweet and I knew he was trying to tell me that he missed me. I pulled my lips away from his and said " I missed you too" He smiled and caught my lips in his yet again. We shared another moment together until we heard someone clear their throat. I pulled away to see my Dad with his arms crossed across his chest and one of his feet tapping on the floor. I did think he was mad at me until I saw the smirk pulling at the corner of his lips. I rolled my eyes and Paul laughed.

Paul grabbed my hand and pulled me over to the table. Been the gentleman that he is, he pulled a chair out for me and pushed it under me as I sat. He then took a seat next to me. On my other side was Jake. He smiled and winked at me, then went back to a conversation he was having with Quil. I forgot about the talk between Paul and Jake. I wonder if everything went okay? I made a mental note to ask Paul about it later.

The dinner started when everyone had arrived. Emily had made a simply chicken dish and I don't blame her with how much she had to make. The guys eat like animals. I smiled to myself at that thought. Overall, Emily's food was completely amazing she was really an remarkable cook.

Everyone was chatting happily but I couldn't concentrate because Paul's hand was trailing up and down my leg. His hand felt so warm and comforting. As Paul's hand travelled further up my thigh, my breathing sped up. I don't know whether Paul seemed to realise what reaction I was having to him because he was having a conversation with Jared. His hand trailed to the inside of my thigh and he gently pressed his finger against my centre. I instantly felt myself go wet and I had to take a drink of water to stop myself from moaning.

For the rest of the dinner he left his hand there, not moving. Every so often it would press his finger harder against me which caused me to try and suppress the moan in my throat. When we had finished dinner Sam stood up at the table. Paul moved his hand away from my thigh and grabbed my hand in his. He rested our intertwined hands on the table and smirked at me.

"Okay, Emily and I have something very important to tell you all." He took a deep breath and continued. "We are getting married!"

Everyone went quiet around the table. Obviously Quil had to break the silence. "Well about fucking time!"

Everyone laughed and we spent the next ten minutes giving our congratulations. When everyone was seated yet again, Sam looked like he wanted to say something else. We all waited.

"I don't know how to say this." he put his head in his hands and Emily rubbed his back. She seemed to feel guiltily. Sam looked back at the people around the table. His gazes rested on Billy. "I will no longer phasing so that I can grow old with Emily. I no longer want to be the Alpha. I still want to be in the pack, I still want you all as my brothers and sisters but I just don't want to phase. I will stick by the pack whilst we are having these bad time though."

This time the silence about the table was uncomfortable and no one went to break it. The pack were all looking at Sam as if he was mad.

Paul had told me that whilst a person phasing they will not age. Sam giving up phasing for Emily is the sweetest thing I have ever heard. The silence was deafening.

"Are you sure about this Sam?" Dad asked slightly tense. Sam just nodded.

"Okay, it is your job to decide who will be the next Alpha. Who are you passing it down to?" Billy asked and I could tell he was nervous.

With out any hesitation he answered "Jacob". Everyone started to mumble about 'how that was obvious' and Jake just looked in shock.

We ate the desert, which was ice-cream, whilst all celebrating Sam and Emily's engagement. No one seemed to be thinking about the rest of the night ahead of us and what danger we might all be put into.

When it got closer to nine we all exited Sam and Emily home. Me, Dad and Billy were the only humans that were attending the meeting so we waved goodbye to Emily and Kim. (Who was having a fit about how she wanted to come, Jared was not giving in.)

We all walked in human form to the treaty line. No vampires were insight at the minute, so the boys left us humans to go phase behind a tree. They were gone for a total of 2 seconds. The sights of them walking through the trees together in wolf form was something that I thought I would never see in my life. Paul instantly come to stand next to me and I ran a finger though his hair. He sighed and closed his eyes. I bent down as placed a gently kiss between his eyes. He howled which caused the guys to let out a wolf laugh.

We only had to wait a few minutes before the Cullen's arrived. I instantly recognised the leader of the pack as my doctor. I shuddered at the thought of a vampire been near me whilst I was bleeding. Paul had stood in front of me in a protective manner. I couldn't help but smile, what have I done to ever deserve someone like Paul.

"What is this meeting about?" I heard a sweet musically female voice ask. She may have had an amazing voice but the way she spoke was spiteful. I couldn't put a face to the vampire as Paul was blocking my view. "Why is there a human here?" The same woman asked with a hint of disgust.

"Rosalie!" A stern manly voice spoke which was followed by a huff from the woman named Rosalie.

Billy's voice now filled the air. "We have had a vampire on our land. We want to be sure that the treaty has not been broken. The 'human' as you say, is here because she is the only one that has had a clear view of the lea- vampire" Billy tried to sound polite but I could tell that wasn't working out for him. "If the treaty has been broken we will fight" His voice sounded dangerous and for a second I was scared of Billy.

"We can assure you that none of us have set foot on your land." The doctors voice echo across the clearing. He seemed angry.

"HE IS NOT LYING, DOG!" An angry voice, that I had not yet heard, yelled.

Paul started to growl. But I was to confused because no body had said anything. "You stupid dogs don't know what you are talking about! Let this human speak and if she saw this vampire then she will confirm that we are not who you are looking for!" The way these vampire talked about me as a human put me about a bit.

Sam nodded his head at Paul and the wolf moved himself from in front of me but still kept himself next to me eyeing the vampires.

I looked at the vampires in front of me. They we all beyond gorgeous, I almost felt jealous until I remembered that they drink blood.

They were seven altogether. The doctor was stood at the front with a beautiful woman with a caramel coloured hair. She reminded me of a mother, gentle. To the right of them was a muscled man that was about 6'5 tall. He looked like the incredible hulk just not ugly and green. Next to him was a blonde woman that resembled a model. She wore a scrawl on her face, I don't know for sure but I bet she is Rosalie. There was a small woman, who wore a warm smile. She looked like a pixie and I could see her been rather friendly. Next to her was a blonde man that looked like he was a huge amount of pain. He was handsome but not as handsome as the last man stood on the vampire side of the clearing. He had a bronze coloured hair that was messy but still looked great. He held my gaze as I looked at him, he seemed angry and I knew straight away that this was the man that raised his voice.

When I had done my full analyses of each of them, I realised that they all had a sweet golden coloured eyes. They were not an evil red like the vampire I saw on the beach.

"Bella?" Billy whispered behind me. I turned to him.

"None of them is the vampire I saw. She had red hair and red eyes. None of these were there"

"Are you sure?" He asked slightly shocked.

"Yes. I believe the Cullen's. They don't have anything to do with her" The Cullen's were all looking at me curious. The doctor decided to speak.

"How can you be so trusting?" Carlisle asked, I noticed that everyone was looking at me. The wolfs, the humans and the vampires.

I shrugged and said "I don't know. I mean I am just a human" I spat at him. I didn't mean for it to sound so mean but that's just the way it made me feel to be talked about like that. The doctor and some of the other vampires looked at me apologetic. Carlisle was going to speak yet again but I just cut him off.

"Can we leave now!" I turned to the wolf Paul. He nodded and lead me back into the woods. The other's didn't follow.

The fact that the vampire I saw was not the Cullen's scared me even more now because we don't know who it is. But I knew that the vampire with red eyes did mean us harm and I knew that she would not leave until she succeeded.
