When I opened my eyes suddenly all of the smells made sense. It was a house! Just a little house, but perfect for just Edward and I. Of course Edward probably wouldn't call it a house because of its size, but to me it was perfect. The little stone house looked like it came straight from Snow White and I couldn't be happier, but when I turned to thank Alice she was gone and Edward was standing in her place with a grin on his face.
"Do you like it, Love?" asks Edward walking over to me and grabbing my hand in his.
"It's perfect, we should go tell Esme thank you," I say getting ready to turn around. Edward's grip on my hand tightens and he pulls me into an embrace.
"That can wait until morning," says Edward before kissing my temple. I smirk and move my head so my lips connect with Edward's. He kisses me back passionately and suddenly I was inside lying on a bed while Edward kissed my neck.

After about a week of me having impeccable control over my thirst Edward allows me to go to La Push to see my brothers as well as the rest of my pack. I was sure I could handle it, but Edward decided that he should come along just in case I couldn't. While I hadn't had any desire to bite humans I also hadn't been around them to test it out. Edward also insisted I give my new Ferrari a test drive so now we were seated in my new red Ferrari and driving towards La Push.
Edward seemed annoyed that I was still going the speed limit even though I had better reflexes and could handle going faster. "You could go faster," insists Edward.
"I'm not going faster," I say as I take the turn that would take me directly to La Push. "I'm not used to all of this yet and I'd rather not hit a tree or something like that."
"You aren't going to though," complains Edward.
"I'm not taking any chances," I say flatly. Soon we were in La Push and I slowed down even more not wanting to hit any children. It also had the added bonus of making Edward even more impatient and by the time we reached my house Edward was up to the porch before I had the car turned off. By the time I got there Quil was standing in the doorway talking to my frustrated husband. When reach the porch Quil stops mid-sentence and stares at me.
"Bella?" asks Quil incredulously.
"Of course," I say with a smile. I had put on sunglasses in an effort to not scare Quil or Embry. "Who else were you expecting?"
"Come in," says Quil stepping to the side and letting us in. Claire was sitting on the couch with Embry and they were watching Beauty and the Beast. It was at the part where the wolves attack.
"Embry we have a guest," says Quil with a grin.
"Is that what the sm—" Embry stops mid-sentence when he notices me standing next to Edward.
"Hi Bella!" says Claire happily before running over to me and hugging me. "Why are you wearing sunglasses?"
"It was really bright outside," I say quickly before looking up at Embry with a grin. "Miss me?"
"Of course I did, but aren't you—?"
"Uh-huh, but I have really great control," I say with a grin.
"So what brings you to La Push?" asks Quil.
"Can't I come see my big brothers?" I ask incredulously.
"Is that the only reason?" asks Embry.
"Well I wanted to show you my cool vampire power," I say with a grin. "But I want to see the whole pack when I do it."
"Well I'm sure that if we call Sam he'd be more than happy to have a meeting," says Embry walking towards the kitchen where the phone was. I grin and sit down on the couch next to Claire who had gone back to watching the movie. Belle was arguing with the beast about taking her father's place. Edward sits next to me and lays his head on my head.
"This movie makes me think of us," says Edward surprising me.
"How?" I ask incredulously. Edward sighs heavily and points at the screen where the beast was ranting.
"I'm the beast and you my beautiful Bella are Belle. You can even go so far as turning the other main characters into our friends and family, but that's not the important thing. You accepted me even though I was a monster, even though you could have had any man you wanted. You looked at the monster, but you only saw the man inside me screaming to be let out," says Edward quiet enough that Claire had no hope of hearing him. Quil and Embry maybe, but they weren't letting it show if they had.
"Sam said we can hold the meeting here," says Quil before picking up Claire so he could sit down and place her in his lap. It didn't take the rest of the pack to get to the house.
"Welcome back Bella," says Sam before sitting down in a chair. I stand up and Jacob takes my seat. Before I can speak Amber had her arms around me.
"Bella, I've missed you!" crows Amber excitedly.
"I've missed you too Amber," I say happily.
"Quil said you wanted to show us something," prompts Sam. I nod and begin to strip out of my clothes. After all everyone in the room had seen me naked more than once.
"We've already seen you naked," teases Jacob.
"Not with my new body you haven't," I tease as I remove the last of my clothing and hand it to Edward. Afterwards I begin to picture my old wolf form. The snow white fur that shimmered in the sunlight and the long legs and lean body. I knew I was a wolf when everyone in the room except Edward gasped.
"Bella has the power of shifting shape. It's quite rare, actually I've never heard of such a power, most powers are mental, but Carlisle thinks it's because she was a shape shifter before she was turned. She's not limited to being a wolf either, she can shape shift into any animal," explains Edward.
"Bella, turn into a cat," says Amber eagerly. I heave a sigh—it was just like Amber to want me to turn into a cat—and picture a cute black and white kitten I had seen once. Suddenly I was tiny and Amber was picking up in her arms and swinging me in a circle. I glare at her and growl causing Amber to giggle before handing me to Jacob. "Isn't she cute Jakey?"
Jacob grins and I hiss at him causing him to laugh. "She sure is Amber," chortles Jacob and suddenly I was in Paul's hands. Deciding I'd had enough I turn into a snake and Paul freaks out before dropping me onto the floor. I hiss at him before turning around and suddenly I was in the air again! I had forgotten that Amber liked reptiles.
"Amber, put Bella down, Bella, turn back," commands Sam. Amber puts me down and I quickly turn into myself and grab my clothes from Edward's lap. After getting dressed I sit down on Edward's lap and he wraps his arms around my waist. "Bella, how would you feel about becoming part of the pack again?" (You guys are so lucky I don't have enough words yet ;D)
"How would I do that?" I ask in shock that Sam would make me such an offer.
"What do you mean Bella?" says Sam.
"I can't exactly stay in contact with you," I say.
"You would only have to stay in contact with one of us. You can be paired up with someone," suggests Sam. I could see it in his eyes that he wanted me to come back to the pack. Something was going on that had everyone tense and now that I wasn't distracted it was obvious. Even Edward was tense about whatever Sam was thinking about.
"Okay, what's going on?" I ask. Suddenly everyone looked innocent, or at least they were trying to.
"I don't know what you're talking about," says Sam widening his eyes innocently and trying to look hurt.
I snort. "You know damn well what I'm talking about Sam. I can feel the tension in the air, even Edward is tense," I growl. Sam sighs heavily before changing the subject.
"We might not even have to pair you up with someone," says Sam nonchalantly. Then he decided to ignore me completely as he gives Edward a meaningful look.
"Yes, that'd be possible. They have devices similar to walkie talkies that use a satellite to stay connected so you can go any distance. I'm sure they make ear buds or something so you could use your wolf form. Bella would just have to be able to speak and her transformations are quite fast, she could have you warned and back in wolf form in a matter of seconds," explains Edward. Okay, now I was pissed.
"What the hell is going on?! I demand that someone tell me!" I shout.
"Those vampires are back," says Quil.
"The three that attacked the pack before," says Paul.
"The ones that killed mom and dad," whispers Embry.
