Paul POV

My wolf was antsy. Growling just to take our mate and run. But I couldn't do that. Leah was apart of this too. We all were.

I saw Billy and Old Quil walking towards us, well Old Quil rolling Billy towards us. I turned around as I felt Bella near. She walked beside Sam, and I could see the nervousness in her eyes.

"Come here." I murmured opening my arms and she nuzzled into my embrace. I buried my nose in her her smelling her scent. It calmed the wolf and made the man reassured that she was here.

"It's going to be okay Swan." I whispered. She nodded but I could feel her fear and it made my wolf tremble that two hacking old men could get fear out of my Swan.

Sam stood beside us both with Emily by his side. The alpha in Sam was out ready to take order. For this pack. By that time Old Quil and Billy were standing in front of us.

Leah was with Charlie with the rest of the pack behind us. Billy spoke first. "You all must know why you are here tonight. There has been secrecy among us, and betrayal! Samuel Uley, Paul Lahote, Bella Swan, Leah Clearwater, and Charlie Swan, you have been called to trial. The rest. Leave.

I glared as he said our names. As everyone shuffled away, Emily gave Sam a kiss goodbye and each of us a hug. I watched her leave knowing this was hard on her as well.

Since the Tribal Meeting area was being renovated we had to stay outside. I wrapped my arms around Bella knowing it was getting cold. I noticed Old Quil give a look of distaste and I had the urge to claw his face. I held it in only due to Bella in my arms.

Old Quil looked upon us and then he opened his mouth.

"Each and every one of you are guilty for a crime. Sam Uley, you did not share very important information that needed to be known.

Paul Lahote and Leah Clearwater, you have disgraced our heritage by not embracing your imprints.

Bella Swan...you are a traitor, a disgrace to our culture for being with leeches." He stopped there and before I could say anything Sam spit fire.

"How cruel are you? Do you not just hear yourself! A disgrace?! heritage! What kind of man are you? We did what we did. I DID WHAT I DID! TO PROTECT MY FAMILY! You didn't need to know because you don't see how these 4 revolve around each other! They might not be imprinted but they are mates!"

Sam insisted, but Billy cut him off. "Enough. We made our decisions. The 4 of you "mates" are to never have contact with one another ever again. You are not to speak or see." I growled and snarled at the man that dared keep me from my Swan.

As if a bird flew by, he ignored me and looked on to Sam...it was about as worse having to be told to never see Bella again...

"Sam Uley you are no longer Alpha...Jacob...has made his claim on that role..You will have no lead in this pack...You will have no decision making in this pack. Jacob come forth..."

Jacob came out of the shadows and I can't believe I didn't see him. "Do it." Old Quil stated evilly. I tensed and I held Swan close feeling that something bad was about to happen...

"I Jacob Black -he was looking straight at Sam- have complete and total control over this pack. I Jacob Black take your twmporary alpha position and make it my own forever. YOU NO LONGER HAVE THAT RIGHT." I could see the change within Sam. His shoulders slumped, and Jacob looked on to the four of us.

"For the right of this pack...you four will NOT BE ALLOWED TO EVER SEE EACH OTHER...You will FORGET this moment and the people you HOLD on to." The action took over and I looked at Bella cautiously...


AN: I know crappy at the end but I tried...I'm just sleepy..
