Thank you so much for the positive reviews! They mean a lot to me! Keep it up!
Paul's POV
That little shit. I can't wait to get my fucking teeth into him. I wanted nothing more than to rip him apart right now. Who the hell was he to talk to Bella like that? What the fuck had she done? After I sent her upstairs to call Sam Jake lost it.
"I am going to fucking enjoy ripping you apart you fuck!" Jacob all but screamed at me. I smirked, egging him on just a bit.
"Oh yea? How's that going to work, you're still just a pup. Besides this involves you hurting my Bella, so you know just as well as I do that you can't win this fight." Jacob was blurry, about to phase when we heard Sam's howl from outside.
I followed him out the door and phased at the tree line in Bella's back yard.
What the FUCK is going on? – Sam
Yeah seriously guys, Kim and I were busy! – Jared. I did feel bad now knowing how much it sucked to be taken away from your imprint. Jacob growled. I snarled back, my inner wolf howling for his blood.
Paul man calm down let me deal with Jacob – Sam. I didn't respond only waited to see what would come next. Jacob and I were both in defensive crouches, snarling at each other.
Damn it! She was supposed to be mine; I have waited so long to feel her. I have dreamt about her for so long; why the fuck should Paul get her? She belongs to me! – Jacob. I was about to lunge when Sam growled. At first I thought it was aimed at me, but before I could blink I saw Jacob flying into a nearby tree.
SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO THINK ABOUT BELLA THAT WAY! YOU ARE FUCKING LUCKY I DON'T RIP YOUR FUCKING BALLS OFF AND CHOKE YOU WITH THEM! IF YOU EVER THINK OF HER LIKE THAT AGAIN I WILL NOT STOP PAUL FROM BEATING YOUR ASS TO HELL AND BACK! – Sam. I was shocked. I could see that had come to care for Bella like a little sister and I almost smiled at the thought, but Jacob's growling pulled my mind away from that topic.
Whatever. It's not fair! I wanted her first and that undeserving bastard gets her! – Jake. I was mad. Was I undeserving? Maybe, but it was Bella and she deserved the best. If I was 'undeserving' then Jacob must be lower than dirt o his own list. He growled at me, lunging only to be knocked over by a very pissed off Sam.
Jacob what the fuck did I just tell you about not stopping Paul? It seems that I have a lot to discuss with Billy later on. We will have to come up with a punishment for you. You know very well that it is against tribal law to try and interfere with an imprint. That shit is too strong to mess with. NOW BACK THE FUCK OFF! – Sam. I heard the alpha command and Jacob fell to his knees under the weight of it, unable to disobey.
It was silent and I could hear Bella pacing in her room. I whimpered and looked at Sam. He nodded that I could go, so with one last snarl at Jacob I phased, pulled on my shorts and went back into Bella's house.
I needed to be closer to my girl so I climbed the stairs four at a time and burst into her room. I picked her up in my arms and just held her, breathing in her scent. Bella clung to me, jumping up and hitching her legs around my waist so our heads were level.
I looked into her wide doe eyes, almost losing myself before she leaned in and gave me a feather light kiss. This kiss held so much sweetness and love and devotion that my knees almost gave out. I loved Bella with all of me and I knew without a doubt that she felt the same.
We stayed like that for a while, just staring into each other's eyes, until I heard Charlie's cruiser pulling into the drive way. Bella seemed to have heard it as she hopped down and walked to her bed, picking up my shirt from last night and tossing it to me.
"Come down stairs, I want to introduce you to Charlie as my boyfriend." She said sweetly. I smiled and threw on my shirt, following her downstairs. We made it to the kitchen by the time Charlie made it in. I heard him take off his jacket and shoes and, to my relief, his gun belt.
"Hey Bells!" He greeted, coming into the kitchen.
"Hi dad!" Bella went to give him a kiss on the cheek. This is when he noticed me.
"Bella, who's your friend?" He asked, glancing between me and her.
"Daddy, this is Paul, Paul this is my father Charlie. Paul and I are...erm dating?" I could hear the question in her voice, but then she spoke up again. "Dating, we are dating." She smiled at Charlie then took my hand.
"It's very nice to meet you Chief Swan." I said, shaking his hand firmly.
"Go ahead and call me Charlie son, it's nice to meet you." I saw the sincerity in his eyes, and when he glanced at Bella I saw all of the love and joy he possessed for her.
"Thanks Charlie." I smiled at him and he smiled right back at me. I was glad this was over. I had never met a girl's parent before, I had always heard it was stressful and scary, but Charlie seemed like a nice man, and a wonderful father. I was glad that Bella had moved here, and not just for me but for Charlie also.
"Well, I'm going to start dinner. Any suggestions dad?" Bella asked.
"Hmm, no you choose Bells, everything you make is wonderful." He mused her hair a little as he walked past into the living room, Bella smiled after him and dragged me into the kitchen. She walked over to the refrigerator and started pulling out vegetables and cheese and some other things.
"What are we making?" I asked her, smiling.
"Salad, steak and mashed potatoes." She answered. I grinned, it sounded amazing. Bella set me to work o cutting the potatoes and putting them in the boiling water as she prepared the steak and started the salad. She was a natural in the kitchen and soon the house was filled with a heavenly aroma.
After about forty-five minutes Bella called Charlie in to eat. We kept up comfortable chatter, Charlie and I talking about sports as Bella rolled her eyes and pretended to listen. Charlie changed the subject to what Bella planned to do with the rest of her spring break; she just shrugged and got up to clear the table.
"I got the dishes Bells, I noticed that it's only your truck out there so why don't you drive Paul home? I'm sure he has things to do." She nodded and smiled.
"Sure, I'll be back soon." She turned to me and said, "I'm just going to grab a sweater." She went upstairs leaving me with Charlie.
"So dating huh?" Charlie asked. "That's good, but I am telling you now that if you hurt her I will shoot you. That girl has gone through hell and back and I won't have another boy crush her. I just don't think she could recover a second time."
My respect for Charlie doubled. "Of course Charlie, I agree. I would never leave Bella, and I know for a fact she deserves the world. I only want her to be safe and happy. And if I ever meet Edward," I spat his name with as much venom as I could master, "Then I will personally make sure he can never walk out of anyone's life again."
Charlie laughed, "Well now, I'm glad to hear that. I like you, you make my baby girl happy, that's all I ask."
Bella cam down stairs and walked over, taking my hand. "All set?" She asked in a happy tone.
"Yup, bye Charlie, see you around." Charlie chuckled before turning back to the dishes. Bella and I walked out to her truck and hopped in. I held her hand all the way to the rez, directing her on how to get to my house. When we pulled up she smiled at me.
"Do you want to come in for a minute?" I asked, thankful that the house was clean. She nodded and hopped out of the truck, taking my hand as we walked to the door.
"So what happened with Jacob?" She asked. I hesitated, not wanting to answer that.
"He could smell the...erm sex in your house. He knew that you and I...did that. He just lost his shit. Sam is fucking pissed, he sees you as his little sister now so he lost it when Jacob thought some disrespectful things about you. Jacob will probably get in trouble from the elders because it is against tribal law to do anything against an imprint."
Bella blushed. "Oh." She looked guilty, and that almost made me snarl. My angel should never have to feel guilty over that stupid little pup. He was not worth her sadness. I opened the door and led her inside my house and she giggled.
"Wow Paul, I have to say I'm impressed. I pictured you 'bachelor pad' so much different." I laughed too.
"Yah well I'm full of surprises." I leaned down and kissed her softly, cupping her face. We fit together so perfectly, like puzzle pieces. Bella sighed and pulled away.
"I should probably get back to my house before dad starts to worry." I nodded and kissed her again, just a quick peck on the lips before she left. I smiled to myself.
Sam's POV (Bet you didn't see that coming!)
After Paul went back into Bella's house I snarled at Jacob. Who the fuck did he think he was? I started running back to La Push, knowing that they were following.
Jacobs sulky thought were pissing me off, same went with the rest of the pack. Jared and Embry thought of Bella as a sister as well; however I really cared about her. A part of me broke the day I found her in the forest, no one deserved that. I would not wish it on anyone, well maybe Edward, but no one else.
Jacob, Jared you have patrol. I need to go speak to the elders. I told them, phasing back to my human form. I walked to Billy's house and knocked on the door.
When the older man answered the door I knew that he knew something was wrong. I had not spoken to him in some time so I had a lot to tell him.
"Billy, can we talk?" I asked. He nodded.
"Should the other elder's be present for this?" He asked. I nodded.
"Let's head on over to Harry's. The others can meet us there."
Once we were all assembled at Harry's (He never died!) I got down to business. I started with Paul imprinting, and Jacob's reaction. I could tell Billy was mad and would have words with him. I then told them the most important thing.
"I now know what the read-headed leech wants. It turns out that Edward Cullen killed her mate, and she wants revenge on Bella. The one we killed in the meadow was just a messenger." Billy looked shocked. I couldn't say I blamed him. Bella was like a third daughter for him, and he doted on her in the absence of his own daughters.
"Well then, I guess we will have to catch the bitch. Make sure someone is at Charlie's house at all times...and I think that we should talk to Charlie. Now this involves him. I think it is time that he knows what's going on." I looked around at the other elders who were nodding. I knew that this was going to be a fun conversation with Charlie.
Review, review, review! They help a lot! Let me know what you think! Next chapter I was thinking about Quil phasing? What do you think.
