I glanced at Swan every so often to make sure she ate. Emily sat next to Sam eating half of what we could.

"So Bella, you accepted the bond?" Sam asked after stuffing a spoonful of food in his mouth.

Bella nodded at him giving me a smile. I gave her a wink in return. I looked at Sam as I sensed the seriousness in him.

"Bella you are now pack. Family. Being Paul's mate makes you pack. We protect family." Though they were short words I heard the meaning and emotion behind them.

Bella and Emily had tears in their eyes. I smiled at Swan and leaned down to whisper in her hear. "It's true Swan. You're pack."

Thinking of pack...dammit Jacob. As if Sam could read my thoughts his eyes widened. Bella looked at him confused. "What's wrong?" Emily asked looking at his face.

"Um Jacob phased today." Sam murmured gauging her reaction. My eyes roamed over her face. "He still have feelings for me?" She sighed.

"Yes. When we phase, it's hard to turn human. So we usually think of something that makes us happy. I think of Emily.

This morning he thought of you. I know Jacob wont take you being Paul's mate very well. But he's going to have to know.

A pack member should not come between a mated pair, and I don't want it to cause problems." Sam said.

Bella nodded and looked to me. "I only like him like a brother. I just don't see him that way, never have."

"I know Swan. But come on. Let me get you home." I stood helping her up as well. "Thank you Emily. Do you mind if I come back tomorrow?" Bella asked Em.

"You don't have to ask Bella. And there's a bonfire anyway for new pack members and imprints. Though you're different from an imprint you're still pack.

Oh and bring Charlie with you. I know Billy has been dying to see him."Emily gushed as she hugged my mate.

They quickly exchanged numbers and I walked out with Bella behind me. "Sam you mind if I take your truck?" Sam shook his head and I got in with Bella and drove off.

The drive was short and I answered questions Bella asked me about the pack and myself. I told her of Alpha position and how Sam's very protective of his family and Emily.

I pulled up at the tiny white house to see Chief Swan pacing the porch. "Ready Swan?" All she did was nod and we got out. As soon as he saw us, his face changed from all different colors and I thought he was going to pass out.

"Isabella Marie Swan!" He flew down the few steps and brought her into a hug. "Are you alright? Are you hurt?" He asked quickly scanning her for injuries. I didn't know what to do, so I waited patiently.

"I'm fine dad." She whispered hugging him back. Finally his eyes settled on me. "You must be Paul." He stuck his hand out still holding Bella close.

I shook his hand and nodded. "Yes sir."

"Sam called and told me you'd be bringing her home. And I can't thank you enough for finding my daughter."

I could hear the emotion in his voice and I was thankful for finding the girl myself. Well sort of..well finding her necklace to be exact.

"No problem sir." Charlie shook his head, "Call me Charlie son." I nodded giving Bella a wink. She giggled and that was the prettiest sound in the world.

"Oh by the way, Sam told me to tell you to hurry back. He said there were two more people applying for a job construction." Fuck.

"Oh thanks. So I'll see you tomorrow Swan?" I asked looking at her. She blushed. "Tomorrow for what?" Charlie asked looking between us.

"We're having a bonfire tomorrow at 6. We thought Bella should come and Billy was talking about you earlier, would you like to come too Charlie?" I asked.

"Um, yeah sure. I need to catch up with that old hag anyway." I laughed at his term for Billy. I walked up to Bella and hugged her. I wasn't sure kissing her in front of the Chief was a good idea. "See you later Swan." I whispered in her ear. "Bye Paul." I walked away from her and back to the truck.

As I drove off my phone rang. "Hello?" I answered.

"Paul. Where are you?" Sam asked urgently.

"Crossing the boarder now. Why the hell is everybody phasing?"

"I don't know." We needed to speak to the council, but I was wary. Something about them have never settled right especially Old Quil and I knew it would be hell when they found out I soul bonded to an outsider.

"Who is it this time?" I asked pulling down the road he lived on.

"You're going to shit yourself."

"Uhh not likely Sam."

"It's Embry and uh.. um Leah."

Holy Shit. Not good.
