Sam's Pov

I drove in silence with Paul and Bella. I glanced at her every so often to see her laying with her head on Paul's shoulder.

He had his cheek on top of her head and she was playing with his fingers. Their bond was strong, as would be Leah and Charlie's.

A soul bond does bring the pair much closer and they could feel each other's emotions, and know what the other needs.

The council won't be so happy though. Kyle Lahote the great great grandfather of Paul fell in love with someone that was not of this tribe, or others.

His lover was a paleface as well. The council despised it because they thought that she would sooner or later give up the secret.

A soul bond is when the wolf chooses their mate instead of waiting for their imprint.

So they would think that both Paul and Leah have disgraced their heritage by not waiting for their 'real mate.'

But when a wolf soul bonds there is no other for them. They would also think of it as betrayal because Bella used to be associated by vampires, and Charlie just because he's Bella's father.

The only person I can really see having a problem with this is Old Quil. He's a racist prick and in his old ways. I'd also have a lot of explaining to do as I hid this information and not told them right away.

Oh the joy of being Alpha.

I pulled up the drive way of my house and we all got out. Emily came to greet us and she hugged Bella tightly. I frowned, they both had scars now just on opposite sides of their faces.

All four of us walked in and Jared and Embry were the only one's here. They both jumped up when they saw Bella. She looked down self conscious.

"Stop staring you idiots!" I growled only low enough for them to hear. Jared came first and shook her hand. "I'm Jared." I could see Paul tense a little but relaxed when she shook it back. "Bella." Jared smiled cheekily and next came Embry.

I stood close enough to monitor and watched his every move as he too introduced himself. Bella seemed comfortable with them so I backed down a little.

"Where's Charlie and Leah?" I asked. "With each other. They're out back." I nodded and started to make my way out the back door.

I faintly heard Paul talk to Bella. "C'mon Swan let's go see your dad." I never understood why he called her Swan. It was like a show of possessiveness over her but then caring at the same time.

Leah sat in Charlie's lap and I almost laughed at how it looked. But they both looked happy. "Dad?" Bella asked from next to me. Charlie jumped half a foot in the air and Leah laughed scooting off him.

"U-uh Bells." Charlie started blushing torn between explaining himself but then he stopped and noticed her scars. His face started changing colors and I thought he was going to blow a blood vessel.

He slowly walked up to her and raised his hand to her face. "May I?" She just nodded and he ran his hand across her face and neck. "God...I'm going to kill Jacob." He whispered.

"First your hand needs to heal Chief." I snickered. "You broke your hand?" Bella asked holding up his wrapped hand. Charlie blushed again. What is it with Swan's and blushing?

"Yeah. I punched Jacob in the face." He muttered looking down, but we could all see the smile he was failing to hide. "What am I going to do with you dad?" Bella asked hugging him.

"Don't know Bells." He laughed and kissed her non scarred cheek.

Leah then came up and took Charlie's hand. He blushed more. God he'll be a tomato if he blushes again. "Leah Clearwater."

Bella shook her hand. "Bella Swan. You hurt my dad I will surely find a way to hurt you without breaking a body part."

I shifted closer to Bella..Leah could be well...Leah. But instead of a growl, or glare she laughed. "I'll hold you to that Swan." Bella nodded and laughed along with her.

Everything was going well so far. "Dinner!" Emily called. We all shuffled in and let the humans load their plate and we were given free rein to pile our food high.

Charlie blanched at how much we could eat. I laughed at him and continued eating looking over my pack, my family.

The phone rang as I loaded up another plate. "Uley's." I answered. "Hey Sam, It's Billy. I wanted to tell you Jake was coming over."

"Thanks." I answered and put the phone down. Paul was shaking a little and Bella was trying to calm him down. He sucked in a deep breath and stopped pulling Bella close. I relaxed a little.

"Jacob's coming over." I announced. "When?" Bella asked. "Now." I answered looking at the door just as Jacob strode in.

He looked like shit. He should. He glanced at us all and his eyes settled on Bella. "Bells." He whispered as he took a step forward.

I growled warning him. He looked at me and glared. I snarled daring him to disobey. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry." He whispered looking at her.

Paul opened his moth to speak but Bella beat him to it.

"Sorry? You want to say sorry? Sorry doesn't fix this. It doesn't make this go away. I look like a monster! Just because you couldn't keep your feelings in check." She yelled at him and she stood taking a few steps towards him. "Swan." Paul warned standing with her pulling her back.

"Bells." Jacob pleaded. "Don't! This is all your fault! I- I hate you! Look at what you did to me! I don't want to even want to go anywhere because I look hideous. People stared at me like I was freak when we walked out the hospital! Sorry doesn't fix this Jacob! You turned me into a monster..."

She whispered the last sentence so sadly and Paul held her as she started to sob. "Shhh...baby..shh. It's okay." He whispered nothing but sweet words and calming noises even though his stare was murderous as he looked at Jacob.

"Outside...right...now.." I growled at him and pushed him outside. I stalked towards him and punched him the face. I could hear his nose break and he started to stand. "Stay Down!" I ordered. He obeyed but tried to fight it.

I paced in front of him. "I want to kill you." I growled out. "I'm-" He started but I cut him off snarling. "Don't you dare say you're sorry! Don't! You don't have the right! You..Fuck Jacob!" I was so angry I phased shredding my clothes. I snarled at Jacob and slowly stalked towards him.

I licked my teeth, and growled at him as he started to move backwards. He would pay and this is the start.

I put one paw on his chest and ran my claws down making him scream out loud. I went deep enough where it would heal but fat enough to really hurt.

I pushed on his chest hearing his ribs crack. I snarled in pleasure and satisfaction. I roared in his face and he phased and charged at me head on. I let him knowing that Paul phased the same time he did. Paul charged at him from the right side knocking Jacob over.

He yelped in pain and Paul put his leg making a good bite out of him. They tussled on the ground and Paul snagged at Jacob's face. I growled as Jacob yelped once more.

Never! Never come near my mate ever! If I so much as see you look at her I will kill you! Paul growled at him biting down on his neck.

I stalked over to Jacob's bleeding form and snarled down at him. 2 months patrol, You will not be allowed near Bella unless Paul or myself is in the room with you and she gives you permission! Is that clear!

Yes.

Good. Go home. Your patrol starts first thing tomorrow 8:00 and don't be late... I growled and unphased along with Paul. He handed me some shorts. "Jared, Embry!" I snapped going inside. "Make sure Jacob gets home."

"Yeah boss." They saluted and walked outside.
