Secrets Revealed

All the secrets have to be relieved. One way or another, they all have to come out. Even if the people we love will act different towards us, the sooner or later, secrets are always relieved.

Derrick POV

One minute ago, Isa phased to her human form, the next she's shouting at Paul who's now on the ground, with a big red mark on his face and some blood on his nose, and he was looking angry and shocked, but mainly angry.

"Derrick!" Kalen shouted, coming to me. "You okay man?"

"What?" I looked up at him and gave him a confused look.

He looked shocked but half looked like he wanted to laugh. "Dude! You are bleeding!" He shouted at me like I'm a dumb person, which I'm not by the way. "Do you want me to spell me out or something?"

Ah, so I've been slapped. That would explain the blood on the ground and the pain from jaw. Perfect.

"No wonder why." I whispered to myself.

"What the hell Paul?" Isa screamed at Paul. This isn't the first time I've seen Isa like this. And I'm sure it isn't going to be the last. If you honestly think this is her mad or even angry state, mate, you're wrong. If we were at the house, Isa would be throwing chairs and vases at anyone who shits with her. "Why the fuck did you do that? Explain to me please, why the fuck did you just punch Derrick?"

Paul didn't answer. He just kept looking at me, actually glaring. I raised my brows at him. Damn, my jaw hurts like hell now! Paul, that little shithead. He's got himself in a load of jack and trouble, of course once Bella's finished with him he better be ready for round two. Hell, it'll be a miracle of he's still alive when I'm done with him.

"Bella, I think it's better if you -" Sam started to say but then Bells turned her glare to him.

"I honestly don't give another fuck of what's better for me to do!" Jeremy grabbed Isa by the waist, trying to retrain her.

"Derrick? What do we do?" David whispered to me.

"What we always do when our little tinie tempah's mad." I answered him.

"Grab her and run?" Kalen guessed, grinning.

"Yep." I grinned back at him.

I faked cough, trying to stop the little sibling fight before it turned into a battlefield. "I honestly would love to play tea house and that, but we've gotta run, meaning me, the pups and Isa." As I said that, Jeremy handed Isa to me once I nodded to him. I grinned at the other wolves who were watching. "Peace out." With that, I phased and ran with Isa on my back.

"Wasn't that little relevance good eh?" I asked Isa, handing my t-shirt of her to wear.

"Whatever." She said, putting on my shirt. It looked good on her, damn everything looked good on Isa. She was beautiful, a master piece, if only Paul knew that his beautiful came with a price, a hell of a piece. "And quite the staring." She added, smirking.

"Find it flattering?" I teased her.

"No, perverted." She answered. "Come here." She got my hand and dragged me to sit with her. She shook her head as she rubbed my face, checking the punch that Paul did. "You okay?"

"Kind of, you know I had worse." I answered, smiling at her.

"You're an idiot you know that?" She said to me in a fact tone.

"Yeah, I've been told that a million times." I said to her. I decided to change the subject. Did you see their faces? Oh dam-"

"Are you swearing?" Isa interrupted me quickly.

"Erm, no?" It came out as a question.

"Good, you do know the pups are there." She pointed to where Jeremy, Kalen and David are, who are climbing up a tree.

"Come on Isa, you know how the pups are." I said. "And speaking of pups, what are we gonna do about your brother's pack?" I added.

She sighed and lay down on the grass. "I honestly don't know what to do Der, it's all confusing. I mean, I didn't want to phase, but when I looked at Paul, I was an instant goner.

"You imprinted on him." I said in a duh tone. Yes, I was hurt, angry, damn I was really angry, but there was nothing I could do nor wanted to do.

"Unfortunately," She said but winced when she said that, "I honestly don't get how though."

"Your wolf loves his wolf. You're both destined for each other."

"Yeah, I know, but ..." She paused, thinking of the right words.

"You wished it was different." I helped her out.

"Yeah."

"Do you love him?" I asked her. I didn't want to know the answer, but this is Isa getting hurt here. I know her past, her everything.

"A part of me does, another still can't let go of him or what he's done. I mean, from the start, my plan was to hurt Paul and the others in every single way, now, its peace and harmony, or some of it anyway."

"So before, you had this little plan to attack Paul Lahote and his minions, now, your new plan is to love Paul and be friends with his minions." I guessed.

She sighed, hugging her legs with her arms, "It's not that easy Derrick." Is she giving up that easily?

"Really now?" I asked her. "This isn't you Isabella. Where's the fighting, not letting bull happen to her friends and family and especially not giving up, where is that girl? Where is Isabella Uley?"

"I don't know, why don't you check in later, maybe she'll come back with a bit more pride." She joked, but you could clearly see in her eyes that she wasn't in a joking matter.

I sighed and gave her a hug. Her arms went around my waist. She sighed into my neck. If only it was like this. I thought to myself. It really would have been different, everything would be different

"And that is why Paul punched you Derrick." Kalen shouted as he got jumped to the ground.

"Why?" Isa asked, breaking away from the hug and sat down on a rock.

"Well, Derrick over 'ere is getting cosy with you. While Paul is trying to get your forgiveness." Jeremy stated.

"Oh." Isa said with her head down.

"I'm hungry." David said.

"You're always hungry." Kalen told him.

"Come on." Isa said, getting off the rock. "Let's go back."

"Why?" Jeremy asked her.

"One, David's hungry. Two, I need to explain things to Sam and the others and three, I've got to punch Paul in the face."

"You know, I feel sorta sorry for Paul. His face is getting really mashed up." When David said that, Bella winced and looked down again.

"Alright, alright. Let's get going now." I told them.

Bella P.O.V

I felt like I was splitting into two. I felt the pain and anger from the imprint bound as Paul punched Derrick. To tell you, it stung, a lot. I couldn't understand anything, all I did was shout and blame Paul. Then I felt all his regret and guiltiness, and that just made my heard hurt with so much pain. What kind of imprint am I? What kind of person am I anyway? As my thoughts went overboard, like a storm. I couldn't think straight. I hurt Paul so many times, like what he did. But this time, it's hurting more.

When Derrick asked me if I loved Paul, my heart and wolf was screaming yes, but my mind was – well, mixed up, like it didn't understand anything. Yes, I love Paul, but I don't know if he's worth it all, if he's the same person he was years ago.

I felt Derrick's arm go around my shoulder, squeezing it, assuring me.

I kept my head down. Derrick, my best friend that I love so much. If you came strolling by, you'd think we were a couple. We were, once, for like a week, that until I called things off. It was too weird. Me loving my best friend like a girlfriend should, it's just so wrong . He's like a brother to me, while his feelings are so different from mine.

But Paul, my feelings for him are way different. More than I can know or control. Paul was well, Paul. The person I loved when I first met him, when he was holding me tight when my parents got into a fight. He was there, he held me. Like he held me when I had my breakdowns. Now realizing it, the Paul who I had a crush on before was too different from the Paul I imprinted on now.

Yes, they are different, yet you stand there and hurt him. My wolf said to me.

Do you even know how it feels? You weren't there when I was in pain. I was never a wolf at that time.

No, you weren't. But the pain you felt before, that is the pain Paul is feeling right now.

How?

How? You mean what. The jealously, the angry, the hurt, the guilt and not to mention all the regret.

"You don't understand." I whispered, not meaning to actually say it.

No, you don't understand. You never will. For once Isabella, let your soul be happy. Let you be free with all these emotions.

"Isa?" Derrick whispered to me. I looked up at him and he nodded forward, his expression was unread.

I looked to where he was nodding and I felt my heart drop. Paul was sitting on the porch, elbows on his knees, waiting patiently. His expression was mixed with sadness, hurt, confusion and anger, but the one that attracted me was the loneliness. When he felt my heated gaze on him, he looked up and all his emotion turned to happiness. He got up and instantly ran to me. His arms went around my waist while my arms went around his neck.

My plan was to talk to him, punch him for even hurting my best friend, but I've hurt him far too much, and I know it's not far for him.

"I missed you." He whispered into my hair. I bit my lip from smiling. He missed me, actually missed me. "I'm sorry. Really and truly sorry."

"I know." I nodded my face in the crock of his neck. I hugged him tightly, letting my silent tears go onto his shoulder.

We stood like that for what felt like centuries, but it was actually for a few minutes. I sighed into Paul's neck. "Come on, let's go inside." I said to him.

He sighed, disappointed, but nodded anyway. As I started to walk, he gently took my face and kissed me for a second, then broke off. I unwillingly pouted while he smiled to himself and placed his arm on my waist. As we walked into the living room, I saw Derrick, the pups, Emily and his pack. Derrick smiled at me and Paul while the pups mouthed down the blueberry muffins that Emily just made. I sat on the sofa with Paul next to me.

Sam came into the room, leaning on the doorframe, "So Bella, wanna explain, again?" He asked me with a little laugh.

"Yeah, I guess, but can I eat first?" I asked him. He nodded and threw me a muffin that was in Quil's hand, he midway to eating it. He pouted and quickly went into the kitchen to get more.

"That's all mine!" I heard Jeremy shout from the kitchen. "Don't touch it or I'll kill you!"

"I'm sorry!" Quil shouted and ran back into the living room. "That kid scares me." He told us, looking back and forth to the kitchen.

"You better be!" Jeremy shouted, laughing.

I shook my head at them and went back to eating. I noticed Paul and Derrick looking at each other. I nudged Paul. He looked at me and I gave him a kiss on his cheek. "Be good." I whispered to him. He sighed but nodded.

After I finished eating, everyone went silent. "Okay, so, I'm the white wolf, obvious much? I guess it all happened in Arizona, when I was walking home from a friend's house. I saw a bloodsucker attacking a girl. I don't know what happened next but I just went crazy and phased. I killed the bloodsucker and saved the girl. She fainted so I went her at the hospital. I didn't understand anything, I mean, I turned into a big hairy dog. I did the one thing I could do, I freaked out. I went home and scared the living daylights outta my mum. She believed everything I said and she explained things to me. After that, I went solitary. I kept by myself. That until these three." I smiled at my babies, they grinned back. "These three had gotten themselves into a lot of trouble, they annoyed the so called bully of my school, and I had to defend them.

"She kicked Ben's ass!" Kalen yelled out.

I rolled my eyes at him while everyone laughed. "After that, I got to know 'em and I guess I just loved them. I then met Derrick and he smelt me out. He told me we're the same.

"Isa said, 'no, I'm a girl and you're a boy.'" Derrick interrupted.

"What was I supposed to say?"

"Something more polite?" He asked.

"Anyway, he told me about his pack-"

"You're the alpha?" Sam asked Derrick.

"Nope, John is. Jenny is female alpha. Alex is second in command, the beta. While me, Martin and Isa are the mid ranks while the pups are the pups." He answered him.

"Okay."

"So pretty much when I met Derrick, he told me about the pack and I got friendly with them and the rest is history." I finished. "But as much as I would like to tell stories, I'd like to have a nap." I told everyone. I tugged Paul's hand to make him stand up. I waved at everyone, kissed the pups' goodnight and gave Derrick a hug.

***(Line)***

I lay down with Paul next to me. He slung me to his chest and I laid my head on his chest, to his heart.

"I'm sorry." He whispered. He laced his fingers with mine, kissing the back of my hand. "I know we've got a lot of ``things to talk about-"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow." I interrupted him. "Can we just hold each other right now?" My voice was laced with desperation.

I felt Paul nod. He tilted my chin up and my lips met his. His arms rubbed my body. My arms went around his neck. Soon he had to break the kiss off. I pecked on his lips and lay my head back to his chest. Listening to Paul's heartbeat made me fall into restless sleep,

I woke up to find Paul gone. My hands searched for him but I didn't find him. I checked the time. Five o'clock. I shook my head and decided to have a shower. Once I had a shower I changed into some shorts, tank top and my Converse. I slowly went downstairs, into the living room but stopped, surprised to see Paul and Derrick sitting on the sofa, talking.

"Isa isn't like the other girls you'd think she is. She has her own style and way of things." Derrick said. "I knew her for nearly all of my life."

"You're a lucky bastard." Paul whispered. I bit my lip from laughing.

"I know." Derrick laughed.

"Do you love her?" Derrick asked a second later.

"With all my heart and soul." Paul answered, so lovingly.

"You sappy much?" Derrick asked, grinning.

"When it comes to girls, then yeah."

"You better protect her." Derrick warned Paul. "You might not know, but she loves you. Yes, she doesn't tell you, but she loves you, even before the imprint."

"I promise to protect her, I love her remember. I'd die for her." The Paul said that made my heart swell.

"If only she asked that, my life would be so much easier." Derrick joked.

"Do you love her?" Paul asked him.

"Yes."

"What way?"

"How a brother should love a sister."

"But there's more." It wasn't a question, but a fact.

"A lot more." Derrick whispered and my heart broke. My best friend still loves me.

"I should be punching you, again. Why aren't I?"

"'Cause you know I ain't a threat."

After a few minutes of silence, I heard Derrick say. "You know, if you weren't the douchebag that hurt my best friend before, I might actually consider befriending you." Derrick said to Paul.

"If you weren't the best friend of the girl I love … I might … no, not even that."

Paul laughed out.

They fisted bumped. Men.

"Well, I'll go to my sleeping beauty now." Paul said, getting up.

"See ya Lahote."

I quickly went upstairs and dived into my bed. After a few minutes, Paul came into my room. The next I felt his arms around my waist. He kissed my forehead and whispered a 'I love you.'

I choked on my cereal, laughing as I saw Kalen holding Quil in a head lock and David tickling him.

"Come on guys!" Quil yelled.

I suddenly smelt a familiar scent at the door and heard someone knock.

"I got it!" I yelled as Emily started to head for the door. She smiled grateful at me and got back into the kitchen. That woman works far too hard, she should take a break.

I ran to the door in full curiosity. I took a deep breath and smelt an earthy kind of smell, from a person, like the person just went right through the forest trees. I shook my head to clear my thoughts and opened the door with a big smile.

I stared at the man in total confusion. I only meet him once and he told me his life story. I looked closely at him and noticed that he was wear cut off shorts and no shirt, not like what he was wearing when I first met him. What the hell? Is he okay? I looked at his eyes and noticed the similarity to mines and Sam's eyes. The way the light reflected on his eyes, the mischief that's held in the eyes as well. This man had the same eyes as me, the same face as well. I gasped while he grinned at me in the scariest way and said in his deep voice, "Hello Isabella."

"Joshua?"
