Chapter 7

The next day I woke up in bed next to Jasmine. I looked and saw Rose standing by the window, the side I was facing. I assume she moved me at some point or one of my other kids did. I glanced at Jasmine and saw she was awake. I followed her gaze to see Paul sitting against the wall next to the door asleep. I hope this was a compromise between Paul and my children. I'm sure he wasn't comfortable with all three being in a room where his mate slept and I'm sure he didn't intend to fall asleep last night but even though he's a shape-shifter, I'm sure he needed sleep just as much as a Human and Fairy do.

"Good Morning," Rose said. It sounded as if she wanted to say more but hesitated. When she continued I'm sure this wasn't what she was going to say but it's Rose. "I can move the, uh, move Paul, so we can get you fed."

"Rose," I admonished.

"No need, I'm awake just resting my eyes," Paul said at the same time.

"Morning," Jasmine smiled at Paul before turning and smiling at me.

We all started moving. Paul and Rose both left so Jasmine and I could change and get ready for the day.

"What's going on here?" Charlie demanded. He was sitting at the table and didn't look the least bit happy. I saw Jasper and Emmett move from the living to stand behind me and Jasmine. Rose had moved to stand next to me while Paul was standing by Jasmine. The three vampires and one wolf made a protective semi-circle around me and my sister.

"I'm sorry Charlie," Jasmine spoke first. "We had all been studying and I think the time got away from us. Rose and Paul were kind enough to carry us upstairs and I think since Emmett and Jasper had already fallen asleep they crashed out too."

"Why was Paul in Bella's room then?" Charlie demanded. He seemed ok with what Jasmine had said but was no picking up on a boy being in my bedroom.

"He had just come to wake us up," Jasmine continued. "Since we have to leave for school shortly he didn't want us to be late. I'm sure he was downstairs all night with the other boys and it would make sense for Rose to bunk upstairs with us girls."

All three vampires and the lone wolf nodded along. I stood there waiting to see if Charlie would accept the answer. Surprisingly he did. With a grunt and nod to everyone he walked upstairs to get some sleep.

"Well you four need to leave," Jasmine shooed everyone out. I was still kind of in shock that she got Charlie to accept her story so easily. "Paul I'll see you after school and we'll see the rest of you in a bit at school. B, let's eat."

"J, what was that?"

"One power Fairies have is the power of mind manipulation," I'm sure I looked confused or something as she continued. "We can implant a story into a Human's mind and they'll accept it as fact. Most Fairies do this when they are seducing a Human. They cause the Human to think the Fairy is someone they know. Most of the time they also use a glamour or spell to change their appearance into a person the Human in interested in."

"So basically Fairies are selfish and manipulate people?"

"Yes," Jasmine was being brutally honest. We had just pulled into school as our conversation lasted through breakfast and the drive to school.

I may have broken my sister. I hated having to tell her all this but she needed to know. I know without a doubt her human half will provide a balance to the Fairy half but she will run into any number of Fae over her life span and she needs to know they aren't like her or even myself. Hell our parents are nothing like us.

"Mom?" Rose spoke softly. I could see the slight bit of fear in her eyes when Bella didn't respond.

"She's fine," I tried to reassure Rose. I didn't know of her past but could tell she held something dark and hurtful there. "I was giving her more information about Fairies and some of their abilities. I think it was a bit much but I won't ever lie to her."

"She's feeling shock," Jasper confirmed. I felt him pushing some calm out, while it would never affect me and shouldn't affect Bella, I think it will since Jasper is her son. With the supernatural you never know for sure how things will play out. I've seen Fairies, Vampires, and Shifters do things so far out of normal for their species just because they felt a strong emotion usually rage or lust, but occasionally love. The strongest and strangest things always happened when the person or creature was acting out of love.

"What," Bella was finally coming out of her daze. "Are we at school?"

"Yep, and we need to head to class otherwise we'll be late," Jasper chuckled and helped Bella out of my car.

The day went fairly smooth. At lunch it was just the five of us to sit together. Edward and Alice stared from their normal table. Bella's other friend Angela just looked worried. Since she was Jake's imprint, which Paul had told me all about, I knew she knew about the Cullen's being vampires and was worried about her friend.

"Here's some soup," I handed a thermos to each of the vampires.

"We can't eat human food," Rose sneered.

"It's not exactly what you think," I rolled my eyes at Rose's attitude. Crappy past or not this was getting old. "I spelled it so it will have the consistency of blood and provide you more nutrients than the animal blood does but it'll look just like human food. I figured I'd start with tomato soup since it'll look similar to blood and it'll be easier to trick your mind with. It smells and looks like tomato soup, but it'll taste just like blood."

Bella beamed at me for doing this. I was making an effort and she knew it.

"This is good," Emmett's eyes were shining and he was eating so fast. I think it's a good thing I started with soup since he's used to drinking and not having to chew. We'll have to work up to more solid food.

"I feel full," Jasper was in awe. "I don't even feel my normal blood lust. Normally it's always there in the back especially since we feed off animals."

"Thank you," Rose said when she finished. I just nodded and didn't make a big deal about it with her.

I made it home with just enough time to change and head back out to school. While I was running, I noticed I wasn't able to hear anyone else. There's always one wolf phased with the Cullen's living in Forks. It hit me now that I truly was a lone wolf.

Everyone except Sam was still in school. Jared and I were seniors this year while Jake, Quil, and Embry were juniors and Seth, Brady, and Collin were sophomores. I've always had a soft spot for the younger pups. They phased this past summer and I hated the Cullens even more.

Now I don't know. If they weren't in Forks would my mate have even made her way to this part of the world or would I have lived my life never knowing her. She only came because her sister was here and her sister only came because of her connection to the Cullens. Now I wonder if I should be grateful they came and I phased. Now my whole view of everything is skewed.

"Hey Paul," Brady broke me from my thoughts when I got to school. "You ok?" I saw the concerned looks form Seth and Collin as well.

"Just thinking," I waved off their concern. "How was patrol last night?"

"Good," Seth piped up. "Sam and Jared took over about 10 for the overnight. We didn't smell any leeches other than the Cullen's."

"Is it true?" Collin seemed nervous. "Sam and Jared's thoughts showed that you broke away from the pack. You're a lone wolf?"

"Yes it's true," I sighed. I would miss the pups the most but knew my Mate had to come first. "I am no longer apart of the pack. It's a long story and we don't have time now. After school I'll fill you in. One thing you should always remember is you can come to me whenever you need."

"Thanks Paul," the boys smiled and headed towards class.

The day went by relatively quickly. Since the rez school is so small all grades have lunch at the same time. I loaded up a tray of food, which I knew from experience would only partial sate me, and proceeded to sit at an empty table. I hadn't really talked with any of the wolves except the pups this morning and wasn't sure how things were going to play out now.

I was only mildly surprised when Seth, Brady, and Collin sat with me. I noticed Jared and Embry looked unsure if they should sit with us or not. I didn't say anything. I figured they'd be man enough to figure it out on their own. Jake and Quil ahd patrol today so they weren't in school. The principal was in the know about the secret to help cover absences.

It's actually kind of surprising the people they've deemed who are and are not allowed to know. All the Elders know of course, imprints are allowed to know as Wolves are unable to keep any secrets from their mates, the principal to help facilitate the boys not being in school, and one tribal doctor just in case we need to be treated for anything. The parents of wolves who are under 18 are not allowed to know. These wolves have to sneak around and lie to their parents. I don't agree with this.

It was never a big deal for me since my mom left when I was little and my dad was a drunk who took off a few years ago. Sam was already on his own when he first phased. Jake, Quil, and Seth's dads were both Elders so they knew which made life easier for them. Embry, Brady, and Collin had it the worst. We tried to prevent them from having any overnight patrols during the week so they didn't have to lie to their parents as much. Well I had tried to keep them from the overnight patrols by taking as many of theirs as possible. Sam didn't care as long as there were two wolves out all the time.

"Are we going to meet your imprint?" Collin asked hopefully.

"Yeah, why don't you join me after school?" I offered. "I'm meeting her and her sister at Forks high."

"Awesome," Brady seemed thrilled.

"I've got patrol," Seth sounded dejected.

"Another time," I suggested. Seth nodded his acceptance. My Wolf and I had very strong protective feelings for Brady and Collin and have since they phased. I'm sure it's because their parents are giving up on them since their first phase. We've all seen it in their head but Sam doesn't do anything about it.

I can't believe how much Paul has changed since he met his imprint. He's a lot calmer and even a bit nicer. I'm thrilled he's letting me and Collin go with to meet her. From what we've seen in Paul's head she's really nice. We also know she's a Fairy and I think that's the coolest thing ever.

Collin and I were trying to keep from annoying Paul as we've seen his temper but we were both anxious to meet his mate. We weren't really talking but both of us were squirming a bit in Paul's back seat.

"Will you sit still?" Paul grumbled. "We're almost there." We knew it was only about a twenty minute drive but Paul is letting us be the first to officially meet his imprint. I knew she met some of the pack at Jake's one day but that was when he first imprinted so no one really got a chance to know her.

"Sorry," Collin looked a bit ashamed.

"We're just really excited," I gave him a sheepish smile.

Paul nodded and started telling us about everything from when he met Jasmine through this morning. Before long we were pulling into the parking lot at Forks High. We were a few minutes early so we stood next to the car. It was uncomfortable to sit in a car for long periods of time since we've had our growth spurt. All the wolves stand between 6' and 6.5'.

"Hey," one of the girls smiled and ran to Paul. Following behind was another girl and three of the leeches. Collin and I both started to shake a bit. We knew Paul's imprint was going to be around the leeches because of her sister but being faced with it was a bit much for our wolves.

"Knock it off," Paul growled at us. Of course our wolves submitted immediately seeing as he's older than we are. "Jasmine these are the youngest wolves, the pups, Brady and Collin. Pups my imprint." The love shining in both their eyes when they looked at each other was something I was envious about. I very much wanted to find my imprint and to know the love it will bring.

"Hi there," Jasmine smiled to us. "I'm so happy to meet you."

"You too," Collin stuttered out as she hugged us both. I only managed to blush.

"So are you going to help us find a house?" Jasmine asked us. We just looked to Paul to see what he wanted us to do. We weren't going to stay if he wanted time alone with his imprint. Sam didn't like us being around Emily too much. He was worried we'd hurt her.

"Sounds good babe," Paul smiled and kissed her neck. He was standing behind her with his arms wrapped around her waist. They both looked content. Since Paul didn't say anything about us leaving I assumed we were staying.

"B, you and the kids coming?" Jasmine had a playful tone and I realized why when the Blonde female leech scoffed at her. "I think you should as we need to find a place all of us will like. After this morning with your dad I think it's about time we find our own place."

"I don't think there's any place in town where Rose, Jasper, and Emmett will be comfortable living with Paul in the same house," Bella hedged. "And I doubt my dad will let me move out since I'm still in school."

"First off, I'm only looking for a place to rent short term," Jasmine countered Bella's arguments. "I have already bought some land about halfway between Forks and La Push that I want to build a house on. I was hoping Rose, Jasper, Emmett, and Paul would be willing to help with the building of it so we could all live there together. I have some very specific ideas so that we'd all have our own bit of privacy.

I figure we can build it so we have the main floor as a living area that is shared. So living room, kitchen, dining room, all that good stuff. Then I was thinking we'd have two levels above the main which branches off into two wings. When we first go to the third level, there'll be a library connecting the two wings, then you and I would each have one wing for guests on the second level and the third level would be for us, our mates, and our children."

"That sounds cool," Bella seemed excited now. "You'll help right?" She had turned to the leeches. The two males nodded their ascent but didn't look thrilled. The female leech just glared at Jasmine, which caused both Collin and I to growl again.

"Brady, Collin, be nice," Jasmine admonished us.

"We're sorry," both of us said at the same time.

"We could help too," Collin offered. I eagerly nodded. Collin and I have talked a lot since we've both phased and we've always felt Paul was more of a role model for us, regarding the wolf aspect of things. We had been told never to follow in his footsteps when it came to women by the entire pack, including Paul. Until he imprinted he didn't overly respect women, but he was always honest with them.

"Of course I'll help if it makes you happy," Paul told Jasmine.

"Well sounds like we have a plan," Jasmine was pumped, Bella looked happy, the leeches were resigned, and us wolves just wanted Jasmine happy. "I want all of you to start planning your rooms for when the house is done so we can decorate quickly. I assume Rose and Emmett will share as will me and Paul, but we should probably plan to each have a study or hobby room of our own so we each have a space to do whatever we wish. Maybe we could do a suite for each of us that way when Jasper and Bella find their mates we'll already have a personal room set aside for them." Jasmine seemed to be on a roll. Even the leeches smiled a bit at her enthusiasm. "Brady, Collin did you want your own suites now or do you want to share a suite until you find your imprints?"

"Say what?" Collin and I were both stumped.

"More Mutts?" Blondie said at the same time. The two male leeches looked shocked.

"Why would they move in babe?" Paul asked sounding just as confused as I felt.

"Don't you feel the connection? I felt it the moment I saw them."

"Is it like my connections?" Bella asked. She seemed to think that would be a good thing. I on the other hand had no idea how that would work.
