"Brian" he gasped with a shocked expression. Everyone looked confused, looking back and forth between us.

"Erm… hey dad" I whispered.

"Brian. What are you doing here?" he said still shocked. I was going to answer but I got cut off by one of the elders I presumed.

"Billy, what is the meaning of this? What is going on?" one of them spoke harshly while glaring at me.

"Old Quil, Brian is my son. His mother is from the Makah Reservation. He is Jacob's older brother" he said clearing his throat.

I heard a growl and looked around. Jacob looked pissed. I gulped slowly walking backwards. He started walking towards me, glaring at me. He was shaking slightly, oh shit he was going to phase.

"You liar!" he growled before he turned into a wolf. He lunged for me baring his teeth.

He rammed into my side and I went flying into a tree. I crouched down into a protective stance and growled. Suddenly I felt so much anger that I was shaking. I howled out in pain and found myself on fours. It wasn't hands and feet. It was paws! What the fuck is going on?

Bold – Jacob. Bold Italic – Brian Italic – Billy Italic Underline – Bella

"YOU FUCKING LYING BASTARD! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? COMING HERE AND SUDDENLY SAY HEY DAD. HE'S NOT YOU'RE FATHER"

"Look Jacob, I'm sorry but it's the truth. He's my dad. Well our dad"

"No he can't be. He's been on the Quileute Rez for ages. How can he have been on the Makah Rez and have another kid? It's just not right"

"Jacob it's true. I met his mother a long time ago, I knew your mother too. But I wasn't in love with your mother then Jacob. I'm sorry. He's your older brother."

"No! It's not right! How can he come to the rez and just randomly call you his father"

"Jake calm down. Just let Billy explain before you go all angry wolfy on us will you"

"Bells! You're meant to be helping me here. I thought you would be on my side for this. What about Embry? He's a brother from another mother. Doesn't that affect you at all? Don't you understand what I'm feeling right now?"

"For fucks sake Jacob. Grow some balls you fucking idiot. Of course I know how you feel. But I knew Embry a little bit longer than you knew Brian. Brian doesn't mean any harm. Just accept that you have a fucking brother. Doesn't mean you have to like it. Just fucking accept it. Geez"

With that Bella and Billy both phased back. I stepped closer towards Jacob, thinking he was calm. Big mistake. He growled and snapped his teeth at me. I rolled my eyes and rammed my head into his side he whimpered at the force.

"Jacob just accept it pup. You're just a kid. You're meant to be next in line for Alpha after me. Though I'm not sure if I want it. You need to grow up pup. I don't mean any harm to anyone. I didn't even know that dad was here. I was just here to help Bella bring Renee's body back and she asked me round for dinner and that we were going to have a bonfire"

"Fine. I still don't trust you. If it makes dad happy then I'll accept that you're my brother from another mother. But it doesn't mean I like you. You need to gain my trust before I can actually accept you as trustworthy and my brother"

We both phased back and I felt a piece of material hit me in the face. I looked dumbfounded and the guys started laughing. I looked down and it was a pair of cut-off shorts. I realised that the other guys were wearing cut-offs, apart from the elders of course. Maybe it was a young wolf thing?

Jacob glared at me before heading back to sit down at the bonfire. I followed him and was pulled away by Bella as she dragged me to sit with and Paul. I smiled at her gratefully.

"Sit down Brian. They are going to tell us the legends" she giggled. I already knew about the legends. But there were a few questions I needed answers to.

They started telling the legends. No matter how many times I hear the legends, it never seems to get old. I always find it so interesting.

"Any questions you would like to ask young one?" Old Quil asked.

"Well I just want to ask. If I'm Jacob's older brother, does that mean I'm Alpha?"

"Only if you choose to be young one. You have a choice in this matter. Choose wisely" he replied.

"Being Alpha means I won't get to imprint right? Why is it Sam is Alpha and he has imprinted?"

"That is correct young one. But you have the ability to love someone like an imprint. Young Sam is only Alpha because Jacob was not phased then. Young Sam was the first young wolf to phase of this pack, Jacob is not ready to be Alpha yet. If you choose to pass being Alpha, then when Sam passes the authority it will go to Jacob" Old Quil said clearly.

"I'm sorry Elders, but I would like to tell you that I do not wish to be Alpha. When Jacob is ready to be Alpha, Sam will pass it on to Jacob whenever he thinks is the right time" I said bowing my head.

"Very well young one. It has been done. Young Sam, when you and Jacob are ready you will be able to pass the Alpha authority to Jacob. You will sense when the time is right" he spoke with his head held high.

"Thank you Old Quil" Sam said bowing his head.

"Are there any more questions you would like to ask? Young Brian"

"No sir. Those were the other questions I had"

"Very well young ones. Enjoy the bonfire" Old Quil nodded his head in acknowledge before turning to chat with the other elders. I let out a breath that I didn't realised I was holding. Sam just looked at me and nodded with a small smile.

"Oh! I forgot about dessert! Emily come and help me" Bella said jumping up and running into the house with Emily hot on her heels.

My mouth watered when they came back out. They had big apple pies in their hands and placed them on the tables before heading back into the house for cheesecake. Yum my favourite, cheesecake.

I think I'm going to enjoy being part of the pack, eating all the good food and chatting with the guys. I was getting on well with the other guys already. Well especially Sam. Maybe it was because we were both the oldest out of the pack.

Paul was an alright guy, he didn't glare at me anymore. Probably because he knows that I won't be stealing his Bella away from him. They were perfect together. I wish I had an imprint. Maybe I will soon. I just have a feeling that something good will happen, but I just don't know when.

I was in my own little world, until someone tapped me on the shoulder. I blinked twice before I looked up. Bella was smiling at me with a whole cheesecake in her hands; Emily was standing next to her with a plate full of apple pie. They handed me them and I smiled in thanks.

I tugged into dessert and closed my eyes as the taste hit my tongue. Fuck that was the best cheesecake I had ever tasted. I might actually ask Bella for her recipe. I like baking. Is that weird for a guy? I don't know.

I cleaned up my plate before I headed over to the tables to help clean up. Bella was already stacking up the paper plates.

"Hey Bella. Need some help? That's a lot of stuff there"

"No no it's fine Brian. You're a guest here. Enjoy the bonfire" she said shoving me lightly.

"It's quite alright Bella. I want to help. You cooked and made dessert. I gotta give it to you. Ya one hell of a cook. Man that cheesecake was the best I had ever tasted. Secret ingredient involved? Do you think you could give me the recipe? I like baking myself" I said laughing. She looked at me with widened eyes.

"Wow thanks Brian. Nope no secret ingredient. I love baking. Sure I'll copy it for you and give it to you next time. Or you could come and visit; we can have a baking session. I'm sure the pack wouldn't mind being guinea pigs" she laughed. Man she was like a little sister already, that's weird.

We teased each other as we stacked up the paper plates and threw them into the garbage. Then I stacked up the metal trays and headed inside to the kitchen while she cleaned up the tables and moved them into the garage.

I came back from the kitchen and was stopped by a glaring Paul with his arms folded.

"Hey Paul what's up?" I asked curiously.

"What's your deal with my girl?" he said emphasising my and girl. I rolled my eyes.

"Paul chill out dude. I'm not stealing your girl. I'm just friendly with her. I don't know but there's something about her. It makes me curious. But she's like a little sister to me. I grew up with no family. All I had was a photo of my parents, that's how I knew Billy was my dad. I recognised his face from the photo" I said raising my hands up in surrender.

"You better not be lying there Pratt. She's my girl and no one else's. Understood?" he said with his arms crossed. I rolled my eyes again.

"Crystal clear Paul. I wouldn't even think of her that way anyways. I hardly know her. I know my imprint is out there somewhere. Does Bella have any school friends I could get to know?" I said wiggling my eyebrows. He relaxed and I sighed with relief inwardly.

"I'm sure she has some friends. Maybe that Angela Weber, she's single. Might be your type actually. We could set up a blind date for you" he chuckled slinging his arm over my shoulder.

"So what's she like?" I questioned. He shook his head.

"Na uh. I'm not telling you. You'll found out. If Angela agrees to go on the blind date. Swan is very good as persuading" he said with a knowing look.

"Right! Let's just leave it at that. I don't want to know any gross details about what you two do in the bedroom and how persuasive she is" I said shuddering. He laughed before leading me back to the bonfire. We had reached Bella and Paul called out.

"Yo Swan. Get your cute butt over here. We need your help" he smirked. She smiled brightly before skipping towards us.

"What can I do for you gentlemen?" she smiled.

"Well Swan. It seems our friend Brian here wants to hook up with someone. I suggested Angela Weber. You know she's single n'all, she's pretty don't you think? But not as pretty as you my little swan" he smiled. I pretended to gag at the sweetness.

"Jesus Christ Paul. I've got goose bumps from that. Leave that for your alone time, not while I'm right here!" I said shuddering. He just grinned at me.

"So Swan?"

"Well we'll see. You'll be coming to the funeral in a couple of days right? She'll be there too. Maybe you might imprint on her there. Then we can set you up for your date ey?" she said wiggling her eyebrows.

"Yeah of course I'll come. It's in two days right? Just let me know the details and I'll be here. I gotta be there. I just have the feeling that something is going to happen at the funeral, nothing bad but just a feeling I've got" they looked at me confused. I just shrugged.

"Well you are more than welcome to stay here. Swan has a few guest bedrooms in the house. I'm sure she won't mind. Right Swan?"

"Sure it's no problem Brian. We can do some baking tomorrow too if you like. Would you like a ride to the housing agency in Forks tomorrow too? Since it's the weekend" she smiled.

"If it's not too much trouble Bella. You've already cooked for us all. I kind of feel bad"

"Don't feel bad. You helped! If there's anyone that should feel bad, it should be the pack. They didn't do anything but eat it all" she said poking Paul in the ribs.

We just laughed before they led me to one of the guest bedrooms. The bed was already made. Bella had left the room and grabbed some clothes for me to borrow. She showed me where the bathroom was and the things I needed.

We headed back outside and the elders had already gone home. Half of the pack was still there. Sam and Emily, Jared and Kim had left too. I shrugged and told them I was going for a walk at the beach.

Once they were out of earshot, I sighed out loud. I felt like some of the pack didn't like me for some reason. But it's still early days. I was in my own little thoughts until I smelt something awful. It burnt my nose. It was a sickly sweet scent. What the fuck is that?

I had reached the cliffs and I looked around and saw this female. I cocked my head to the side and she stunk. Shit she was a bloodsucker. She had red eyes. I crouched down and glared at her.

"Who are you? Why are you on our land bloodsucker?" I growled at her.

"Oh another puppy to play with. I didn't know that this was your land. Doesn't have your name all over it pup" she laughed.

I snarled at her and phased in mid-air lunging at her. She laughed and knocked me away from her like I was a little fly. I threw my head back and howled. She laughed and jumped off the cliff. I ran after her watching her hit the water. I paced back and forth of the cliff edge growling at the water. I hated it.

I phased back to human and growled still pacing. I sighed before I walked back towards the house. I jumped up into the guest room through the window and snatched up a pair of cut-off shorts before heading downstairs.

"You guys are still up?" I asked seeing the remaining pack still here.

"Yeah we're staying the night. Play video games n'all that. What's up? I thought I heard a howl" Embry asked.

"Yeah I howled. There was a bloodsucker scent on the beach but it was lost" I answered.

"I'm sure it was nothing. There are only three of them around here. There's no danger here" he shrugged. I just nodded my head before I walked back up the stairs and into the bedroom.

I lay on my back on the bed staring at the ceiling. She was one of them. She had red eyes, she wasn't a vegetarian vampire. How could it be that she wasn't danger?

I know what I saw. I just hope that she doesn't come back. If she does I'll rip her to shreds and set her on fire myself. That's a target I've set myself. I'll train with the pack and become stronger.

A/N: And… that's the update. Hope you like it.
