Bella's POV

I woke up confused about where I was. My eyes fluttered open and I looked around the room. I was back in my own room. The last thing I remember was giving up the fight against the currents.

I slowly sat up. My head was pounding. I looked down and I was in a new set of clothes. Who changed my clothes? How did I get home?

I was startled when I heard Charlie yelling on the phone downstairs. He sounded so pissed. I tiptoed to the door and pressed my ear against it.

"For fuck sake Billy! How the fuck could this happen? I thought he was watching her. How did he let this happen? She jumped off a cliff for Christ sake!" he growled down the phone. I froze. How did he know that I jumped off a cliff?

"I can't lose her over this Billy. It's not doing us any good. I hate leaving her out of the loop. You better do something about this or I will" he snapped slamming down the phone.

Leaving me out of what loop? That was it! I needed my space. I needed to clear my head. I slipped into my jeans and changed into a tank top. The weather was nice, just what I needed. I slipped into my sneakers and walked out the house towards my truck without a glance at Charlie.

I started driving towards La Push with a frustrated attitude. I was pissed off with being left out the loop. I pushed my truck faster to La Push and the truck groaned in protest. I needed a mechanic to look at this piece of scrap metal. Jake used to look at my truck when he had the chance. But he's disappeared now. So I'll just have to make do.

I parked up to the First Beach on the rez and started to make my way to the trees. The beach started coming into view. I saw Paul with those other guys I seen last time. Bulky with the same tattoo on their right shoulder. It was weird.

They were quite muscly and the weather wasn't exactly warm. But they still didn't wear a shirt. Just in cut-offs. They were sitting on the logs near a fire having a laugh. I wanted to go to Paul. I just want to hear his husky voice again.

I rested my hand on a nearby tree and just watched him pushing and shoving his friends, having a laugh with each other. I pushed myself away from the tree and started to walk towards him. I stopped myself from running up to him. I didn't want to embarrass myself. I walked two steps and froze.

What I saw was enough to make my blood boil. I saw Lauren in her "sexy" outfit running funnily down the beach towards the guys. She ran straight for Paul and jumped onto his lap and started making out with him! How dare she? He was mine! But I thought again.

He wasn't mine anymore. My heart sank. She could do whatever she wanted with him. I didn't think he would stoop so low for a slag like her. I sighed and looked again. She was still making out with him, showing off her "features". I was pissed off. I ran away from the beach without another glance.

How could he? He told me he loved me. He said he only needed his space but still loved me. I noticed I was shaking slightly. I was shocked and confused. I've never felt this angry before.

I got into the truck and slammed it shut. The metal groaned from the force I used. What the hell? I've not got the strength to do that. I'm a weakling. I shook my head. Something was happening to me. Something weird.

I drove home and parked against the curb. I walked towards the house. Just as I was about to put the key into the lock. I heard Charlie yelling down the phone.

"How could you let this happen you bastard? You deserve to go to jail! She's dead because of you. I thought you were good for her. She was happy with him. Didn't you love her at all? Why would you beat her up? She stayed with you because she loved you so much. You broke her. You killed her! I hope your mother fucking ass gets arrested. If you don't get arrested, I'm coming to get you Phil. I'll throw your fucking ass in jail myself!" he paused for a few seconds before he exploded again.

"Phil it's your fault and you fucking know it! Renee is fucking gone! She's not coming back! You don't deserve to mourn for her! You killed her! Not only was she my ex-wife, I still loved her very much. You killed Bella's mother. Her fucking mother for heaven's sake! She will never forgive you. Hell I'll never forever you. You better hope I don't see your ugly face again" he snarled slamming the phone down.

I froze at the door. Phil? Killed my mother? What? Did I hear him right? She couldn't be dead. She was with Phil. My stepdad. They loved each other. She was so happy the last time I saw her. I heard Charlie on the phone again, I think it was Billy.

"She's gone. She actually went. Phil killed her. He hit her. He abused her! She loved him! He went home drunk every night and hit her. He hit Renee! How could he? He was beating her up and she ran from him. She fucking ran out the house! He chased her and started hitting her again. People saw that happen. I hope his ass gets thrown into jail Billy. She didn't deserve this. She deserved someone that cared for her and loved her for who she was. She ran across the road to get away from him. She got hit by a car. She got hit by a car Billy" he sobbed.

I slowly started walking backwards. I was absorbing the information I just heard. My loving, erratic mother was gone. She was hit by a car. I wasn't going to see her again. I would miss her rants about the weather and everything.

I started shaking. It was worse than before. My whole body was blurring. I don't know what happened. I just felt anger, sadness and hurt. The next thing I knew, my clothes burst. I was on four legs. I had paws! I let out an agonizing howl. A howl that would send chills down your spine.

Paul's POV

I was at the First Beach with the pack. Sitting on the logs and sitting near a fire. To keep the imprints warm. We didn't need a fire to keep us warm anymore. We were having a laugh and teasing each other. The pack was like one big happy family. But I still felt like something was missing. One of the imprints were missing. I still didn't have the chance to tell her the truth.

My thoughts were interrupted when I saw someone with blonde hair running towards us in an outfit that she thought was sexy. Ugh it was Lauren. She has a thing for me. But I don't like her. I never have and I never will. She thinks that I like her. I shook my head. The pack chuckled. I growled in response.

She ran up to me and jumped into my lap and pressed her horrendous lips to mine. I wanted to be sick. They were so rough and just gross. They were nothing compared to my Bella. At the thought of her, I smelt her scent.

Her scent was to the left, in the trees. Shit she was in the forest. She saw this bitch forcing herself on me. I looked at the pack and they were glaring at the slut. I pulled away and pushed her off me. She fell on her ass sulking.

The pack found it hilarious, they were howling with laughter clutching their sides. I stood up chuckled at her with a cold expression. I didn't care what she thought. Fuck! Bella must have thought I had moved on from her. I still love her. So much. I had to tell her the truth, and soon.

I walked away from the pack and went for a wander on my own. I was deep in my thoughts, leaning against a tree in the forest. At that moment, I heard an agonizing howl. Who could it be? No! It couldn't be.

I walked deep into the forest and waited for the rest of the pack. I looked over my shoulder and I saw the pack making their way towards me. I snorted at the fact that they were walking at such a slow pace.

I wanted to find out who had phased. Could it be Bella? That's impossible. She's female. Females don't phase. She couldn't have the wolf gene. Could she?

We tied our shorts to our leg before we phased. We were hit by a panicked female voice. Holy shit a female phase! That's awesome! I listened carefully. No! It couldn't be!

Italic – Paul. Bold Italic - Bella

"Bella"
"Oh great. First I've turned into a wolf. Now I'm hallucinating. I can hear Paul's voice in my head"
"Bella, you're not hallucinating. It's really me. We can communicate through the pack mind"
"No. It can't be. Why did you leave me Paul? Why? I thought you loved me"
"I do love you Bella. But one day I phased into a wolf and I was alpha ordered to not see you again. It's too dangerous being a new wolf. I didn't have control over my wolf then. What would I do if I hurt you?"
"Paul? How am I wolf? I'm confused right now."
"It's ok Bella. Sam is going to tell you about the legends and everything. There's one part that is my duty to tell you. But I will tell you after Sam has explained the legends to you. Plus we need to talk to Charlie."

The rest of the pack just stayed silent and listened. I lay down on the ground and rest my head on my paws as Sam explained the legends to Bella. She seemed to take it better than we expected after Sam told her everything.

When Sam was finished. I knew it was time to tell Charlie that Bella had phased. I was dreading this. I howled for him and I heard a pop and he joined the pack mind.

Bold – Sam. Bold italic – Bella. Italic – Paul. Italic underline – Charlie.

"What's going on? Has something happened? I sense a new presence. Who is it?"
"Charlie, calm down. We have some news to tell you"
"Then tell me Sam. Paul?"
"Um… hey Charlie. Well a new wolf phased today and we're all shocked about it."
"O…k then. So who phased?"
"I did daddy. I don't know why"
"Holy Shit! My Bella phased? But how? She's female. Even if she had the wolf gene, they are unable to phase. There's not been a female wolf before"
"Yeah we haven't heard of a female wolf before. It's strange. We need to look into it. Sam? Will you go and talk to the elders and see what you can find out?"
"Sure. I'll get right on it. You coming Charlie? The rest of you phase out and wait at Emily's"

I heard the familiar feeling of when the pack phase out. It was just me and Bella. Oh shit.

"Babe? I'm really sorry. I didn't want to hurt you. But I had to, so you could let me go. I love you so much it hurts. But it wasn't safe for you to be around me."
"Is that why you disappeared for a while? I was so worried. I thought you didn't love me anymore. I thought you had left me like Edward left me."
"Baby I couldn't leave you unless I had no chance. Do you remember me saying that when we were at our cliff? I miss you so much. You have no idea."
"When you left. I felt like my heart was ripped out. I felt like my life was over. That I had no reason for living. I tried to end my life once. But it didn't work. I thought that if I ended my life it would end my pain"
"Bella, please don't think like that. It kills me. I know you tried to end your life. You jumped off a cliff. On one of the worst days to do it. I jumped in after you. I can't live without you. I have something to tell you. You remember that thing that I had to tell you because it was my duty? Well it's called imprinting."
"What's imprinting?"
"Imprinting is where a wolf chooses their mate. It's like the gravity that is holding up to the earth, it's your imprint. You would do anything for them. Don't have to be lovers. Can be friends or a sibling figure."
"Oh. So basically the imprint has no choice but to love them?"
"Well technically no. The imprint connection is letting the imprintee into the wolf's life. They can be lovers if they feel the same way. But the wolf can be a sibling like I said. The wolf will accept what the imprintee wants their relationship to be. It's more of a perfect match but may not always be love at first sight."
"So… have you imprinted?"
"Erm… I'd rather talk to you face to face. Where are you? I'll come and find you"
"Erm… ok then. I'm near La Push"
"Ok, I'll see you soon"

With that I phased out. I wonder how she will take it. I reached into the power of the imprint and sensed the right direction I should be heading. I started walking and the feeling of her presence was getting stronger.

I looked around and saw her in a cute summer dress. It was white and strapless with black flowers around it with a black belt in the middle. She was standing there barefoot looking down at the floor.

I cleared my throat and her head snapped up in response. She crouched down ready to pounce. I sighed. She looked up and froze. She felt that feeling I did. You stare into someone's eyes and you get this feeling that is hard to explain. But the world revolves around them. You would do anything for them. When you look into their eyes, you just melt. They hold you to the earth; they are your sun, your light.

Holy shit. She imprinted on me. I imprinted on her. Wow a double imprint.

I walked up to her and caressed her cheek with my hand. She leaned into the warmth and looked up at me with those beautiful brown eyes. They were sparkling again. I missed that sparkle. The sparkle lit up her face. She looked at me curiously. She looked confused too.

"Bella" I breathed.

"Paul" she gasped.

"Baby, you're my imprint. I love you. I loved you before the imprint. You are my world"

"Paul? What was that feeling that I felt when I saw you just now?" she asked curiously.

"That was the imprint babe. You imprinted on me. We imprinted on each other. Double imprint. Please tell me you accept me back. I can't be without you. I felt horrible when I had to break up with you. I didn't have a choice" I whispered.

"You are my world too. My world was ripped apart when you left. I wanted to end my life. The pain was so bad. I hope I don't go through that again. The pain disappears when you are here. Please stay with me. Don't leave me again. I don't think I can take it again" she begged.

"Babe, I promise. I won't leave you again" I soothed, hugging her to my chest. She wrapped her arms around my waist and snuggled deeper into my chest. She sighed happily.

I wrapped my arms around her and rest my head on top of hers. We just stood there in each other's embrace. It felt like we were the only two people left in the world. Right now, it was just Paul Lahote and Bella Swan.

A/N: N'aww aint that end bit sweet! :')
