Great job with the reviews! Thanks for all the positive reviews! I hope you like the story so far! I don't own Twilight!

Jacobs POV

I knew I was in shit, I knew that Billy was going to freak. I knew better then to mess with an imprint, but this was my Bella! She needed me, and I needed her. I still can't believe that Paul stole my girl. I slowly walked home, dreading the conversation that I knew was coming. Life fucking sucked.

When my house came into view I had to force myself to keep moving. I knew that Billy would be disappointed in me. He loved Bella like a niece. Fuck! I saw him on the front porch, looking at me with that 'you-fucked-up-big-time' look. I had rarely gotten that look from him.

"Jacob," He never used my full name, not since mom died, "We need to talk." I nodded, walking the last few feet towards him and sat in the chair next to his on the porch.

"Dad, I know what you're going to sa–"

"No Jacob, you don't. Listen. I know you love Bella, but you need to understand that she is with Paul. They love each other. I want to see all three of you happy. Bella is a great girl, you know I love her, I love her family as well. Paul is her family. You know that if you do anything against the imprint it will end badly. Imprinting is some serious stuff." He paused to give me a stern look.

"Bella, she deserves to be happy. She went through hell when Cullen left her. You tried to fix her, but only Paul can actually heal her soul. He has. Sam told me everything, about the leech that is after her, about how she is like a pack sister now. You need to be careful. They all love her, but if you cross anymore lines then there will be hell to pay."

"You don't understand!" I gritted out, "Bella fucked him! She let that idiot taint her! She is not the girl I thought I knew! They both...disgust me! I don't want anything to do with her!" I could tell that Billy didn't believe me.

"Jake, I know that this is hard, it's hard to me as well. Do you think I want to know that Bella and Paul are intimate? Do you think I want to know that Paul will eventually mark her? I don't, but I deal with it because I love her. She is family and I accept her decisions. Do you know how hard it was for Paul to wait for her, to let her make all of the choices? He is not the bad guy you make him out to be!" He let out a sigh. "Now get your ass in the car, I need you to drive me to Charlie's. The rest of the elder's and I have decided that he needs to know everything, this is about Bella now."

I was shocked. We had never let a pale-face know. Bella was the first. "Okay." I answered weakly. I drove in silence, and when we pulled up I could hear the others inside. All the elders, Sam, Paul and Bella. I brought Billy to the door and knocked. Charlie answered looking nervous.

"Now that everyone is here can you tell me what the hell is going on?" He demanded, glancing at Billy with worry in his eyes. Billy nodded and we all went into the living room. Charlie sat on his recliner and it surprised me when Bella went to sit in front of him, leaning against his knees. She looked worried and sad. She looked like a little girl again, sitting with her dad the way she was.

Bella's POV

Jacob and Billy got here and the atmosphere was tense. I felt so bad that we had to include Charlie in the supernatural world. He would be upset that I had dated a vampire, that I was dating a werewolf. I sat in front of him, leaning against his legs like I did when I was little. He played with a piece of my hair. Some things don't change no matter how much I grow up.

Everyone else had settled, the elders were on the couch, minus Billy of course, Sam and Jake were on the love seat and Paul had dragged in a chair from the kitchen. It had been agreed that Billy or the other elders would do most of the talking, but I had requested to tell him about Edward. He deserved to hear that from me.

"Well," Billy started, "Charlie you have been my friend for a long time, the tribes friend for a long time, and I think it is past time we told you the truth." Charlie was quite, he never was one for interruptions. "Our tribe has legends, as you have heard before. The spirit-warriors and then later on the spirit-wolfs, shape shifters. The legends are true Charlie. Young men in our tribe change forms to protect the people. Sam, Jake and Paul are all werewolves; Sam is the alpha of the pack."

Billy paused, letting this sink in. Charlie grunted, and I stood up to sit on the arm rest of his chair. "Daddy, I'm so sorry I didn't tell you, it just wasn't my secret to tell." He looked at me with wide eyes.

"You knew, Bella? You know your dating a...wolf?" He seemed to have trouble getting that out.

"I always knew, but there is something else I need to tell you. Please just let me finish before you say anything, and let me apologize ahead of time. I'm so, so sorry." Charlie nodded, looking a little upset.

"Well you know the, uh, Cullen's?" He nodded, so I continued, "Well, they are what the wolves protect people from. They are...vampires." Charlie looked shocked, and I felt bad. "At first I didn't know, but I was drawn to Edward. He dazzled me. He played with my emotions. It felt real for me, but he never felt the same. They are some of the few 'good' vampires. They only drank animal blood, but the rest don't. I am so, so sorry. I wish I had never met any of them. I wish I could have spared you the hurt I put you through when they left."

"Bells," Charlie hugged me, whipping the tears off my face, "I forgive you. Bella I am so sorry that they left, I wish I could make it all go away, make it all better." I smiled at him.

"But that's the thing, it is all better. I don't miss them anymore, I realized that if they left they never loved me, so why waste my emotions on them. It's over. I won't spare anymore tears on them." Charlie smiled at me, he looked happy, knowing that I was happy.

"Charlie there is more, there is a reason that we are telling you now." Billy began again.

"There's more than vampires and werewolves? What's next, witches and dragons?" He chuckled. He was taking this way better than I had thought.

"No, but there are more aspects that you need to be aware about. There is a vampire in the area, a wild female this trying to avenge her mate's death. This vampire is after Bella, this is why we are telling you. You know that Bella is family, I thought you should know, and if you see wolves outside your house don't shoot, there will be someone here at all times. Bella will be protected."

Charlie looked scared. In fact he looked terrified. "Why, why are they after my Bella?" He demanded, looking murderous now.

"Maybe Bella should tell this story..." Sue suggested. Everyone had been silent; the exceptions were Charlie, Billy and I.

"Do you remember last spring break, almost a year ago now? Well I only left because a nomad vampire thought it would be fun to try and track me, try to get past all of the Cullen's. I went with Alice and Jasper to Phoenix, a sunny town, while the others hunted for James, the vampire. He figured it out, going to Phoenix himself and he convinced me that he had mom, so I went to meet him, to save her.

He lured me to my old ballet studio, he had a video camera, wanted the mirrors for effect. He wanted the Cullen's to go after him, all part of the game. Anyway he broke my leg, threw me around a little bit, but he ended up biting me. Vampire venom causes a person to change, but it is also excruciating. Like being on fire.

Edward sucked the venom back out so I stayed human, and they staged a scene, telling people I fell down stairs and threw a window. They killed James. Victoria, the one after me, was his mate. Since Edward killed James she wants to kill me, she doesn't know I was just his play thing." I stopped, looking at my dad. He looked like he was sorting his thoughts so I stayed silent.

"How do you kill a vampire, a steak through the heart?" He asked quietly. Everyone chuckled.

"Myth." I reply. "Though they can't come out in the sun. They don't burn, but they...sparkle. To have a vampire fully killed you need to burn them."

"Oh, well is there anything else I need to know?" He asked. I was about to say no when Harry spoke up.

"Wolves do a thing called imprinting." I felt my eyes widen. Why were they telling Charlie this?

"What's imprinting?" Charlie asked warily.

"It when a wolf sees his soul mate, the girl that he will fall in love with, the girl who will fall in love with him. They just click. For the wolf it is as if nothing else holds him to the planet, she consumes him, holds his heart. The wolf's job is to keep her safe and happy, the pack keeps her safe any happy. She become part of the pack, they all look out for her as brothers. We are telling you this so that you know Bella is safe, nothing can harm her. The pack won't allow it." I looked down, blushing.

"So you're telling me that Bella is safe and happy. Someone imprinted on her? Is that why she asks like she used to? Why she is healed?" Charlie asked. He looked between the three wolves. "I'm guessing it was not Jake, she hung out with him before she was healed, so it's either Sam or Paul, but she hangs out with Paul...so...?"

Paul spoke up for the first time, "Yes Charlie, I imprinted on Bella. She makes me feel so happy, something I have not truly felt in a while. I would protect her with my life; I would do anything to keep her beautiful smile on her face." I looked up at him with a grin, winking before taking Charlie's hand in mine.

"That's...wow. That's devotion. You won't ever leave Bella?" My dad asked.

"Never could, not until she orders me away, and even then I don't think I could handle it. I would feel physical pain if either of us left. Bella has a choice, but she will have my heart, forever." Paul's speech made my eyes water, I was so happy. I was glad my dad knew and I was happy that I had Paul, the only thing that was not perfect here was Jacob.

"Well then, that's good. I guess I don't need to do the whole dad spew?" Charlie asked, chuckling.

"Nope, I got it handled Charlie, Bella is like my little sister, and Embry, Jared and I would kick Paul's ass if he did anything. There is not much you could do to hurt him." Sam said, chuckling.

"Awww thanks Sammy, nice to know you got my back!" I smiled at him, he grumbled, something about 'if it was anyone else calls me that I will kick their ass'. That made Paul and I both laugh. "Anyways are you okay with all of this dad, I'm sorry to just spring it on you like that."

"Its fine Bells, I always thought that Edward was a bit strange, made my skin crawl, and with the size of the La Push boys I had thought something was up." I grinned. There was a loud knock on my the door so I got up to answer it. There stood Jared, shirtless, obviously coming from patrol.

"Are Sam and Paul here?" he asked frantically.

"Yes," I heard them come down the hallways. When Jared saw them he seemed to calm down a little. "I have news, Quil just phased. Embry is trying to calm him down enough to explain, but you need to come out Sam. Maybe Jake should too, I mean they are friends."

"Of course. Jacob come on we need to get going." I watched as Sam and Jake left the house, Sam waving over his shoulder. I turned to Paul.

"See you later." He bent down to kiss me; it was quick, soft and full of love.

"I love you, I'll see you soon."

"Love you too." I smiled at him before going back inside to hang out with Charlie and the others.

Paul's POV

I phased quickly and as soon as I did I heard Quil's confused thoughts.

What the fuck, why do I have paws? – Quil. I chuckled, remembering how I had felt.

It's okay man, calm down – Embry

Quil...what the fuck are you doing? – Jacob. I focused to Quil, on what he was seeing and he was running around in a tight circle. I was confused until I got to the clearing where they were. He was chasing his tail. I let out a barking laugh.

What the hell? Why do I have a fucking tail, and why can't I GET IT? – Quil. That caused us all to laugh harder. This guy could be fun to have in the pack.

After a couple of minutes Quil gave up on the tail, and plopped to the ground, looking at all of us, in wolf form.

Okay so who are you all? I know Jake and Embry are here, but who are the rest of you? – Quil

I'm Paul

Jared – Jared

I'm Sam, it's nice to have you join us Quil. I'm going to explain what happened to you. Please wait until the end for questions. – Sam. The rest of us waited as Sam re-told all of the old legends and explained about the cold-ones and all that jazz. I had heard the stories so many times I didn't bother to listen. After about half an hour Quil understood everything. We explained about imprinting and he laughed, I could feel his excitement to meet Kim and Emily and to tease Bella.

Quil was one of those people that were goofy, but kind to the core. Like a teddy-bear. Jesus fuck, I was spending way too much time with Bella. What kind of male thinks shit like that?

The rest of the pack was laughing at my thoughts, and I had to admit it was sort of funny. Quil walked up to me, his thoughts reading mischief.

Awww, you want me to come over tonight so you can cuddle me? I can keep your nightmares away. – Quil. Everyone laughed, but I had my response ready.

No thanks Quil, I have my imprint to cuddle with. Unbidden flashes of our night together flashed in my memory. Her begging me for more, her face as she had her release, her nails raking down my skin...

Awww Christ, we have another Jared. Why don't you two start a club. Life's not fair, now I not only have to see Kim in compromising positions, but Bella too! You guys do understand that they are my sisters right? – Embry. Jared and I laughed, but I felt guilty.

Sorry man that slipped. I'll try to control it. So Jared, how about that club, what do you wanna call ourselves? Sam, you imprinted, wanna join? Actually no, because Emily is more like a mother than a sister and I already see more of her than I need, so you know what, let's just forget I offered. It'll Exclusive club, just Jared and I. They were all chuckling, Sam rolling his eyes. It was then I noticed Jacob had phased back to human, probably not wanting to see me with Bella. I felt guilty.

Don't feel bad man, you can't control it. He'll eventually deal. – Sam. I nodded. I think I was going to head home and sleep for a few hours, Sam would send someone to patrol Bella's house.

Once I was home I crashed, falling asleep almost as soon as my head hit the pillow. I dreamed of my Bella of course.

*Dream*

Bella and I were on First Beach, but it was sunny, for once. Her beautiful mahogany hair shone in the light, tints of reds showing through. She looked over at me and smiled, taking my hand in hers.

"Paul," She murmured, her lips grazing my jaw, "I love you. Always and forever."

"I love you Bella, more than my own life. You are what holds me here on Earth, you are my future." I bent down to kiss Bella, savouring her taste, before she pulled away, a soft smile gracing her perfect features.

"Come with me?" She questioned, raising a brow. I nodded, my breath taken away by her beauty. She pulled out of my embrace, taking off her dress to show her small blue swimsuit. (.com/popup_?pID=2608&image=1&osCsid=) She looked amazing, the color setting of her skin just right. She took my hand and pulled me into the water.

The water was warm; it felt nice against my skin. I picked Bella up and she wrapped her legs around my hips, causing me to groan. I kissed her collar bone, along her jaw until I got to her lips. The kiss was hers, hungry and desperate. It was like she was starving and I was the first source of food she had seen on months. The kiss was borderline violent.

Bella started moving her hips, causing me to groan, my hands moved along her thighs to her ass, I squeezed before pushing her into me further. She threw her head back to I go attack her neck, my lips ghosted over where my mark should go, at her pulse point on the left hand side.

I could do it, I could mark her as mine, I was about to bite, so close, I could feel her pulse racing under my lips. Hmmm Bella will be mine. My inner wolf was chanting 'mark her, mark her, mark her' over and over. I was about to when a beeping sound distracted me. What the fuck? I was taking my mate, I decided to ignore it, but it kept going...again and again.

*End of Dream*

I groaned and rolled over. The ringing was still happening and it took me a second to realize it was my cell. I reached over and snagged it off the bedside table.

"Paul, hi! It's me, Lauren. I was wondering what you were doing this weekend, do you want to come by my house and have some fun?" Her voice was low, in what she probably thought to be sexy. It made my stomach churn.

"No, Lauren, I am in a relationship and I don't want you to call me anymore."

"Pau-ly!" God! Her voice was nasal and annoying as fuck, "Come on, I need a good lay, everyone in Forks sucks. You are the best fuck I've ever had. Come on, maybe Jessica would join us. Wouldn't that be fun?" Did she just try to bribe me into to fucking her with a threesome? What the fuck?

"No, I love my girl, and I really don't feel like getting an STD. Don't ever call me again." I hung up on her, glowering at the phone that had woken me of my dream. I thought back to my dream. I had thought about marking my girl as my mate. I needed to talk to Sam. I hopped out of bed, checking the time. It was 8:37pm so I decided to go over to his house to talk.

Marking a girl as your mate is binding, more so then marriage ever could be. It changed both of us, but mostly her. She would smell more like me. Marking was a very serious thing, not even Jared and Kim had marked, but Sam and Emily had. I needed advice.

When a wolf had a dream about marking their girl it was his ancestor's way of telling them to do it, to claim what is theirs. It would make the bond of imprinting that much stronger. It would give Bella some of my abilities, abilities like her not aging until I do.

When I got to Sam's I knocked, Emily answered, looking happy. "Hey Paul, what's up?"

"Not much, is Sam here?" I could hear him in the living room.

"Yup come on in." She said, grinning at me. I followed her to the living room where Sam looked up curiously.

"Sam...I need to talk to you." Emily had gone upstairs to give us privacy, and I could hear her running a bath. "I had a dream..." I cleared my throat.

"And?" Sam asked, not getting it.

"And I marked Bella in that dream." Sam looked shocked. It had taken him an Emily over six months before he had had the dream. I had known Bella for less than a month.

"Wow...we need to talk to the elders." I nodded, worried. How will Bella take this? How much wolfy bullshit can she take before it's too much? My life is way too complicated.

Hey! So what did you think? Good? Bad? I felt bad for Jake, so I made Billy go easy on him. He will not be a little shit forever. Jake will imprint on a new character. The name options for her are: Auden or Vanessa (so she can keep the Nessie nick name). Let me know which one you like better.

Let me know if you want Bella marked, or should I hold off on that? I do need her marked before the Cullen's come back (And I got reviews asking me to cut all ties with the Cullen's, don't worry she will not go back to them)

Now go on and review!
