A/N I apologize for taking so long to review. I had to go to a house party and so I hope you enjoy it! For you to understand why Charlie is telling the secret to Bella now, we shall go back in time.

Chapter 3 Abandoned

ChPOV

Charlie was furious at Jacob. He loved Jacob like a son, but he was not going to let Bella regress into the shell of a person she was when the Cullen boy left. It seemed to him that Jacob had brought his daughter back and now the boy no longer wanted to see her? Well, he was going to have a talk with Jacob immediately.

Charlie quickly scribbled a note to Bella telling her he had gone to watch a game with Billy. He hated lying to her, but he was not going to lose his daughter again. Charlie got into the cruiser and drove down to La Push, parking outside Billy's house. He heard an argument and saw Jake along with a few of the other boys who lived on the rez. They were all rather tall and you could easily see their large muscles.

Damn! What are they feeding the boys down here?

Charlie's eyes widened in shock as he saw Jacob turn into a wolf and begin to attack the boy in front of him. This boy smirked and also turned into a giant wolf. He was frozen in place, the keys to the cruiser falling from his hands.

Jacob was tired of Paul taunting him about the Bella situation. He had no idea why Paul disliked Bella so much, or maybe he just enjoyed torturing him. The pack was discussing what to do about a rogue vampire they had been tracking when Paul interrupted.

"So Jacob, word is the leech-lover has turned back into the zombie she was when the bloodsucker left. What did you do to her?"

Sam rebuked him sternly. "We are not here to discuss Bella, Paul."

Jacob tried to remain calm, but Paul had been taunting him all day and he just snapped. He felt the tremors run down his spine and he lunged at Paul who phased as well. Just as Jacob was about to attack him, they all froze as they heard the sound of keys dropping.

Jacob slowly turned around and saw Charlie by the cruiser. Fuck!

ChPOV

Charlie was able to snap out of it and controlled his expression, but he was sure his fear showed in his eyes. He stiffened and watched as the two wolves shifted back into Jacob and the other boy. Charlie looked away as he noticed that they were undressed, waiting until they were decent to confront them.

He saw Jacob and another man edging slowly towards him with their hands up to show they meant him no harm. He focused on Jacob and glanced at him sternly.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Jacob looked sheepishly at the older man who Charlie now recognized as the one who found Bella. He was the one to speak next.

"Chief Swan, I need you to remain calm. We will explain ourselves."

Charlie quirked an eyebrow and folded his arms.

"I'm listening."

Sam began to speak reassuringly but firmly as he tried to explain why the two boys had changed into large wolves.

"I'm sure you've been to a bonfire before and heard of our legends. Well they are true. We change into wolves whenever there are vampires around. We exist only to protect humans from any harm they may cause."

Charlie glanced at Sam and was amazed at his ability to remain calm. He turned towards Jacob accusingly.

"Does Bella know what you are? Does she know about this?"

Pain flashed across Jacob's face. "No she doesn't. I'm not allowed to be around her."

Sam cleared his throat to return Charlie's attention to himself.

"Werewolves are controlled by their anger. Since Jacob has just recently been able to phase, he does not have enough control yet to be around Bella. If he phased near her she could get hurt."

Charlie absorbed this information quietly and realized that he had to tell Bella the secret that he had kept from her all these years.

"I will keep your secret. Not that anyone would believe me if I told them."

He gave them a wry smile and with that, Charlie turned his back on the two, got into the cruiser and drove away.

Jacob glanced at the disappearing car, confusion evident on his face.

"Is it just me, or did Charlie seem to take this a little too well?

Sam nodded in agreement. "There is definitely something the Chief wasn't telling us."

BPOV

Bella sat down at the sofa and waited for whatever Charlie was going to tell her. She could see sadness in his eyes and was worried about what this secret was.

"Bella, I wanted to tell you this a long time ago but it never seemed like the right time. And now I'm afraid I can't avoid it any longer."

Bella figured he would need a little nudging. "Spit it out, Ch-Dad."

Charlie took a deep breath. "Bella, I am not your real father and Renee is not your mother either."

He stayed silent for a moment, waiting for her to digest this information before going on. Charlie heard her sharp intake of breath and saw the pain in her eyes.

"H-how is this true?"

Charlie grimaced and went on. "Eighteen years ago, I was walking out of the police station after my first day as an officer when I saw a young woman walk up to me. I could tell she was Quileute and my gaze went to the bundle in her arms. She told me that she could not take care of the baby girl and she placed you in my arms and took off. I did not know what to do, so I took you home, thinking that I would figure it out in the morning. To my surprise, Renee was ecstatic and wanted to keep you immediately, so a few weeks later you were adopted. A few years after that, Renee gave me the ultimatum. She then took you and left."

Bella found herself getting angrier and angrier as he told her the shocking secret. She could not believe that her parents weren't really her parents and felt as if her life was all a lie. As she thought of the woman who abandoned her, it set something off inside of her. No one wanted her, not Edward, not Jacob…not even her own mother.

Bella began to shake with the force of her fury and she felt tremors move along her spine. All she could see is red and excruciating pain seared throughout her body. Bella collapsed on the ground and felt her bones break.

ChPOV

Charlie watched the expressions flash across his daughter's face. Pain, Hurt, Sadness, Anger. He wanted to reach out but decided to give her some space. After a while, he began to get worried as she began to shake. Charlie reached out to touch her and found her to be extremely hot to the touch. He quickly pulled his hand away and remembered that this was exactly what had happened when Jacob had turned into a wolf.

But that couldn't be true? Only males were supposed to be able to phase…right?

As Bella collapsed to the ground, he had no idea what to do and knew only one person who could help. Charlie quickly ran to the phone and dialed, impatiently waiting for someone to pick up.

"Billy, I need help and quickly. I think…I think Bella is…turning into a werewolf."

There was a pause on the other line before Billy spoke.

"What happened?"

"I just told her some upsetting news and something set her off…I've never seen her so angry. She's...she's trembling on the ground right now." The pain was audible in his voice.

"I'll send Sam over right away."
