CHAPTER 9
Disclaimer: SM owns it all.
The wolves didn't give me time to anything. I put Alice out of harms way before I had a black wolf on top of me. I struggled against him I took a hold of his jaw and with a kick I sent him 10 feet on the air. I look around quickly and I could see that Esme and Carlisle weren't having much luck; each one had two wolves. I saw Alice and went to her.
"Baby quickly call Emmett and Victoria." I told her while giving her my phone.
"Bella please be careful." Alice told me and then she gave me a quick kiss.
I turn around and was met with three angry looking wolves. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Jacob in his human form with the same smug smile.
"Why the hell wasn't he in his wolf form attacking me?"
The three wolves attacked me at once and I dodge them easily. I went for the smaller one and knock him unconscious, then I went for the larger one and punch him in the snout and then I was met with the Alpha again and I tried to reason with him.
"Listen you animal! There is a reason why I attacked Jacob!" I yelled at him and in return he growled at me. I just rolled my eyes and got ready for round 2 with the stupid mutt.
"Hey, you started the party without me!" Emmett's booming voice said while grabbing one of the wolves and tossing him like it was nothing.
I turned around and answer him "You know how this animals are, they don't have any consideration." I said while kicking another wolf that was trying to sneak up on me.
Victoria appeared while throwing a punch to a wolf and said. "Yeah well, thank you for calling us. This is a good sparring session!" She stood still for a few seconds looking at something and then she yelled. "Care to explain me why is Jacob still in his human form?" The female wolf turn around saw Jacob and then she went toward the Alpha. I took advantage of the distraction and made my way toward Alice.
"How are you holding up?" I asked her while checking if she had any injuries.
"I'm fine Bella, what about you?" She whispered worriedly.
"Just a few scratches, nothing to worry about." I ended with a smirk.
Out of nowhere a wolf crashed against me and I heard Alice scream my name.
I dusted myself off and attacked the wolf with everything that I have.
I grabbed him by his neck and punch him in the ribs so strong that I heard a crack; then I tossed him on the floor and started pummeling him until I heard whimpers leave his snout. I turned around ready to beat more wolves but instead I saw the Alpha in his human form telling Jacob to phase so he could help them killing us.
"Jacob Black you are going to phase now!" Sam's commanding voice boomed trough the forest. In an instant Jacob was in his wolf form and the female wolf attacked him.
The female wolf was trying to bite him but Jacob was larger and stronger so he tossed her and with a vicious snarl went after her. I could see that he was going to kill her and in an instant I was with them. I saw Jacob ready to slit her throat with his fangs and with vampire speed I grabbed him and tossed him out of her.
The female wolf was whimpering and slowly she changed back into her human form.
The girl was probably 20 she had tan skin short hair that reach her neck. She had Native American features and she was very pretty and very naked. Quickly I took my jacket off and put it on her. By now the whole pack was around us and Jacob had a look of resentment. What the hell was going on?
"What? Aren't you going to kill me now?" I asked them while getting in a crouch ready to fight.
The others did the same except for Esme who was beside Alice.
The Alpha went into the forest and came back in his human form.
"Cullen as The Alpha of this pack I owe you an apology." Sam told us with an embarrassed look on his face. I had a look of disbelief on my face.
"Wow I never expect to hear that from you." I told him while looking at them with a suspicious face.
"Let me explain first. Jacob came to me telling us that you have attacked him in his human form. So we jumped to conclusions and came to attack you. When Jacob shifted, the other wolves saw what had happened and Leah attacked him and then you protect her from him." Sam finished his explanation and I was about to say something when Alice yelled.
"Leah! Please let me go and see her." I told Esme to let her and Alice came and kneeled before Leah and started stroking her head so tenderly that an unpleasant feeling of jealousy course through me.
"Alice, why are you fraternizing with the enemy?" I asked her with gritted teeth and bailing my fists.
"Baby, Leah is not the enemy. She is my friend and please take a chill pill, its you that I love." She finished at seeing the expression on my face. She turned around and we all saw Leah stir.
"Alice." She croaked out.
"Yeah its me, how are you feeling?" Alice whispered to her.
"Like crap. I can't believe Jacob insulted you like that." She said while trying to stand up. Quickly Carlisle rushed to their side and in doctor mode told them.
"Leah, don't try to stand up I need to check if you don't have other injures."
Alice left her side and went to my side.
I turned around and asked Sam "How does she know what Jacob told Alice?"
"When we are in our wolf form we can communicate with each other and we can read every thought." Sam explained to me. By now all the wolves have left. Leaving Sam and Leah.
Victoria let out a snort and said. "Fucking coward, that's why he didn't phase."
We all nodded our heads in agreement.
Carlisle finished his examination on Leah and told her that her injuries were not serious and that she should take the rest of the day off. Leah thanked him and Sam went to help her so they could leave.
"Umm…Bella thank you for saving me and if you hurt Alice in any shape of form I will kill you slowly and painfully." Leah told me seriously. I offered her a nod and then a smile.
"Ok Leah and thank you for defending Alice." I answer her while putting Alice closer.
"Don't even mention it. Alice is one of my dearest friends and I would do anything for her." Leah told us with a smile.
I raised an eyebrow at that and asked her "Really…Anything? Would you befriend a vampire if it makes Alice happy?"
She dropped the smile when I asked her that and told Sam that she was tired and that if they could leave.
We all laugh at her expression and Alice gave me a glare for that.
Sam and Leah left as the rest of my family. Leaving me with Alice alone.
"Would you like me to give you a ride home?" I asked her.
Instead of answering me, she launched herself at me and wrapped her arms around my waist and she stared sobbing.
"Bella, I was so scared that you were going to ended up dead." She said to me between sobs. I stroke her back and whispered. "Shh baby girl you don't have to worry. I'm here."
Alice kept sobbing a few more minutes and then leans in to kiss me with so much need that took my un-needed breath away. Feeling her tongue caressing mine was like heaven and I didn't wanted to end, but Alice had to breathe so we broke apart.
"I never thought that this relationship was going to bring so much drama into our lives." I told her jokingly and she let out a musical laugh.
"I wouldn't have it other way Bella. You are my only love and if we have to endure drama, so we can be together I don't mind. As long as you don't leave me." She told me while playing with my fingers.
I gave her another kiss and led her to the car, so I could drive her home.
"Wait! Bella don't you need to hunt?" Alice asked me worriedly.
"Now that you mention it, its probably a good idea that I hunt before going to your place." I told her while scratching the back of my neck.
"Ok then, go hunt and I'll see you at my place. Give me your keys so I can go home." Alice ordered me and then she gave me a goodbye kiss.
I gave her my car keys and saw how she got in it and drove away.
"Ok, lets see what this forest has to offer me today." I said out loud and took off.
30 minutes and a few deer later I was ready to meet Alice at her place. I got there 5 minutes later and knock the door. She open it gave me a kiss and told me to come inside.
"You look so much better now." Alice said. I gave her a questioning look.
"I mean during and after your battle with the wolves, you were with a few bruises and now they're gone."
I tilted my head to the side and gave her a smile. "I get it and yes hunting help us to heal faster."
She took my hand in hers and guided me to the couch. I sat down first and then she sat between my legs, so she was kind of on top. I started to play with her fingers and gave her kisses in her collarbone. She leaned into my body more and gave me full access to her neck.
After a few minutes of this Alice turned around and gave me a passionate kiss; one of her hands was cupping my cheek while the other was playing was resting in my stomach, after a few seconds or minutes I don't know we broke apart.
"I'll never get tired of kissing you my love." I told her smiling.
"That's the kind of thing I like to hear." Alice answered me and gave me another kiss.
I was in my personal heaven, when a shrilling noise was heard in the background.
"Bella that's your phone." Alice informed me breathlessly.
I grabbed the phone and answer with a hiss. "This better be good!" And Victoria's laugh could be heard in the other side of the line.
"Did I interrupt something Bella?" Victoria asked me with a snicker.
"What do you want?" I asked her impatiently.
"Emmett and I were wondering if we could go to Alice's place to hang out."
"Give me a second while I ask her.
"Ali. Victoria and Emmett were wondering if they could come to hang out?"
"Umm…yes that would be nice." Alice told me with a smile.
"Tell her we'll be there in a few minutes." Victoria told me and hung up.
I repositioned myself in the couch and Alice lay down on my chest.
"Its strange that I cant hear your heart beat." Alice whispered while running her hands in my stomach.
"Hmm…well you'll get used to it." I told her with a smile and then I remembered that we haven't gone out on a proper date yet. How could I be so stupid?
"Ali." I whispered
"Yes baby." She answered still stroking my stomach.
"Would you like to go out with me on Saturday?" I asked her shyly.
Alice sat up so fast that it startled me.
"Oh my God Bella! Of course I want to go out with you!" She answered me, and the showered my face with kisses. I was laughing so hard at her antics, but she silenced me with a passionate kiss.
We were so wrapped into our little world that I don't hear my siblings enter until it was too late.
"GOTCHA!" Emmett screamed.
Alice let out a scream of her own and fell down from the sofa.
I saw Emmett laughing and saw red.
"WHAT THE HELL EMMETT! YOU SCARED HER!" I screamed at him while grabbing the collar of his shirt and lifting him from the ground.
"Whoa Bella, calm down woman it was a joke!" Emmett said while trying to get free.
Victoria who had been quiet during the exchange came near me.
"Bella put him down. You know how he is."
"I don't care if Emmett is a mentally 10 years old. He frightened my mate. Did you know that she could have a heart attack?" I asked him with a glare.
Victoria rolled her eyes at that and answered me.
"Now you're exaggerating Bella and, please put Emmett down."
"Fine." I said and not so graciously dropped him.
I went to see if Alice was all right.
"Love, are you ok?" I asked her worriedly.
"You know that stress give you wrinkles." She answered me with a giggle.
I gave her a little glare and muttered. "That's not funny."
I helped her stand up and took her hand in mine.
"Hey guys." Alice told my siblings shyly.
"Hello Bella's mate." Emmett said with a grin.
"Her name is Alice Swan." I told him exasperated.
"Whatever! It's so cool we got to hang out with you. Bella can't shut up about you." Emmett said with a glint in his topaz eyes. I knew that if I could blush I would be doing that at this moment. I cleared my throat before things got out of hand.
"Oh, where are my manners! Would you like something to drink?" Alice asked my siblings.
"You're offering yourself?" Victoria asked her with amusement.
I slapped myself on the forehead and Alice blushed at least 3 different colors.
"I m mean…. umm." She stammered.
"Its ok Ali. Victoria is teasing you." I said while giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Bella's right. And we hunt before we came here." Victoria explained to Alice while sitting in one of the sofas.
"Right!" Alice said while nodding her head and went to sit herself. Emmett and I remained standing.
Emmett went through the living room watching the photographs there.
"Oh Look Vic. Alice was a cute little girl. She looked like a pixie!" Emmett exclaimed while bouncing on his feet.
I raised an eyebrow at that display and Alice burst out laughing.
"Oh my God Emmett you looked so gay doing that." Alice said while holding her stomach.
Victoria joined her and together they were laughing at him.
Emmett for his part started pouting and crossed his arms.
"Oh man, you let your wife to laugh at you. You're so whipped!" I said with a smirk on my face.
"Like you're any better Bella." Emmett answered me.
"Hey, just for your information I'm not whipped." I said as a matter of fact feeling very proud until I saw the look Alice was giving me.
"So… You're not whipped huh? Well I guess you don't mind if I don't kiss you for the next two weeks." Alice told me with her arms crossed around her chest and a look of indifference on her face.
I gave her a horrified look and thought to myself. "No loving from my baby for 2 weeks! Why don't you kill me now!" And then to my immense horror I let out a sob.
I dropped to my knees in front of Alice and told her. "Anything but that baby! Please! Just the thought of not been able to kiss you for any period of time is horrifying."
Alice watched me, but I could see that she was going to crack.
"Look, I'm sorry for saying I'm not whipped, because I am and to make it up to you. I'll take you shopping!" I told her and as soon as the shopping word came out of my mouth. Alice's face broke into a huge grin.
"Oh Bella you are the best girlfriend ever!" She said while helping me standing and kissing me.
"Ha! I never thought I see the day that Big Bad Bella, would get on her knees and started whimpering like a lost puppy!" Emmett's booming voice held a mockery tone.
I snickered at that and Victoria slapped his husband in the back of his head and turned to Alice and asked her. "Alice, do you mind if I tag along to your shopping trip? I really need to buy a few outfits."
Emmett's jaw dropped open and I couldn't stifle my laughter. "Seems that you're coming with me to help me carry the bags."
Victoria and Alice shared a look, then Victoria put her arm around Alice and exclaimed. "Alice…I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship."
Emmett and I shared a look while the same thought was running in our heads.
Fuck. My. Life.
