Chapter Eleven

BPOV

When I open my eyes, I'm blinded by brightness and I quickly close them again only to squint open as I try to take in my surroundings. I notice the trees around me, and there's no sign of anyone else. Besides a splitting headache, I don't think anything else is wrong with me.

Suddenly, I remember the woman I saw before I passed out and my eyes widen in fear. I quickly jump up, my tail sticking straight up, and look around for any...signs...of…

TAIL?!

My eyes widen further and I quickly turn my head to look behind me, but I can only catch a glimpse of it. I uselessly keep turning around and around until I realize how I must look doing that. It's then that I become aware of more than just the furry appendage sticking out of my butt.

I swallow loudly when I notice something else that really should have been the first thing I saw - my nose. I bring my hand up to touch it, only to notice the huge shaggy paw that was once my hand.

Shaking my head in disbelief, I start backing away aimlessly and only stop when I bump into a tree, cowering against it as I let out a whine. What the heck happened to me?

I try not to freak out too much but that's kinda hard when you suddenly wake up and you're standing on four legs and have fur all over your body. I decide to find my way to the road so I can go home. Then again, seeing me like this will probably freak Charlie out and he'd most likely shoot tranquilizers at me than welcome me home with a hug. How long have I been out anyway?

I decide to go to the Cullens' since they're the most likely to not freak out. Weird understands weird, right? I just hoped they wouldn't mistake me for food and try to take a chunk out of me. As soon as that thought enters my mind, I start thinking about Alice and I quickly set off on trying to get my bearings.

Before I do, I catch a tantalizing scent and all thoughts leave my brain except an almost primal need to feed. A feral growl leaves my lips and after a few minutes, reason returns to me and I find myself standing in front of a dead dear with only it's head intact and a broken ribcage surrounded by a pool of blood. When I realize what just happened, I expect to feel the need to throw up since I've always been queasy around blood but surprisingly, nothing but a quiet burp escapes me.

It's probably an hour or so when I finally break the line of trees and find myself on the main road. I jog over to the spot where my bike had toppled over but I find it gone. I pick up the same scent that the red haired woman had and the same growl that I had emitted earlier surfaces again. I don't let it distract me from my task however - finding the Cullens.

I break into a run over to the turn off that leads into their driveway and I run up all the way till I'm standing on their front yard. I pick up several potent scents in the area around their house. I can almost figure out which scent belongs to which Cullen. Alice's is the best of all of them and I feel warmth spread through me when I smell it. I can't help but think of the negative side of having such a keen sense of smell though. What if someone farts while I'm in the vicinity? That would be nasty. Focus Bella.

I shake my head before slow making my way closer to the door. It opens before I get too close and I see Jasper standing in the doorway.

"Wolf!" he growls, and suddenly he's surrounded by his entire family. Carlisle is standing in front of everyone else and he and Esme are the only ones who aren't barely containing their growls. I whimper when I see that Alice is also growling and I duck my head away from her gaze, my tail curling against my body.

"Please relax, all of you," Carlisle tells them. "I want to avoid a confrontation if possible." By then, it's only Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper who are still growling. Alice and Edward seem to be having a silent conversation.

"Did Sam send you?" Esme asks softly. I growl at hearing Sam's name. Like I would do anything for that creep. My growl is taken the wrong way apparently because suddenly Emmett's growl becomes louder. I whimper again and curse my inability to speak.

"Could you please change back so we can talk properly?" I look at Carlisle with a confused expression and cock my head to the side. "Aren't you one of the Quileutes?" I roll my eyes and shake my head. Since when was I ever from the reservation?

I hear Alice gasp and suddenly and I look up to find her staring at me with wide eyes. As soon as I look into her eyes, I feel an odd but comforting feeling spread through my body and suddenly I feel as if I can't get close enough to her.

"Bella?" she whispers uncertainly. I step closer and my tail uncurls itself and starts wagging gently. My eyes remain trained on hers and I can't look away even if I want to. She pushes past Edward and Jasper who were standing just slightly in front of her and suddenly she's buried under my fur, hugging me with her arms around my neck. I purr and curl myself around her, my head hanging over her shoulder and my paw moving around to pull her closer to me. She giggles at my purring and that only makes me purr louder and causes my tail to wag harder.

"Bella?" "That's Bella?" "Shit…" "Did Jasper just say 'shit'?" I ignore the others' reactions and focus only on Alice and how good it feels to be in her arms again.

"I was so scared for you," Alice whispers against my neck. I feel another warm feeling spread through me and suddenly when I look at Alice the urge to claim her overtakes me. I realize we're in front of an audience so I throw her over my back and run into the trees, putting her down as soon as we reach flat ground.

A low rumble is in my chest as I nudge her with my nose until she's laying on the ground. I roll her over with my paw and place my nose in the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent deeply. Reason leaves me again like when I smelled the deer before, and before I know it I'm dry humping Alice like a rabbit in heat. I keep my nose against her neck, the rumble turning into a growl as I continue to thrust myself uselessly against Alice's backside.

"Bella," I hear Alice whimper before she moans quietly. Hearing the sound makes my lust increase and I bite her shoulder hard enough to leave a mark without piercing her skin and start humping her faster.

"Bella, s-stop. W-we have to stop," she says, moving her hips back into me in time with my humping. She doesn't seem very unwilling.

I growl in frustration at how ineffective my humping is and it's then that Alice starts wiggling under me and manages to free herself. I almost whimper at the loss of contact but she takes my head into her hands and kisses my muzzle gently.

"Believe me Bella I'd love for us to continue, but I don't want my first time with you to be in my backyard with my entire family listening in." It's then that I hear a few snickers coming from inside the house and I growl threateningly. "It's okay Bella, soon. I promise. I can't keep my hands to myself for very long," she winks.

We spend the next hour or so figuring out how to change me back and by the time we get it I'm exhausted and starving. I wear some of Edward's shorts and a shirt from Rosalie that doesn't completely cover my midriff.

After I devour some sandwiches that Esme makes for me, Alice drives me home after letting me know that Charlie has been worried sick ever since they found my bike on the side of the road. She pulls over on the curb next to my house and turns her engine of and we sit in silence for a while.

A blush makes its way to my cheeks before I start speaking. "I'm sorry about earlier. I don't know what came over me."

Alice smiles and takes my hand in hers. "It's okay, I've heard that newborn wolves can be a bit unpredictable."

"Yeah, but I basically attacked you back there. In front of your family! You must think I'm a complete animal."

"Well technically, you've got this wolf-slash-human thing going on," she says with a teasing smile, "but I really don't mind Bella. I'm just curious about your feelings for me."

My blush intensifies and I stammer for a while until she decides to take me out of my misery and places a gentle kiss to my lips. I kiss her back just as softly and we stay like that with no other sound except our lips moving together until I need to breathe again.

"You better head inside," Alice murmurs against my lips after we pull away.

I nod and kiss her one more time before opening the door and stepping outside her car. I'm about to close the door when I stop and think to ask her, "Um, Alice? What exactly are we?"

She smiles, "Whatever you want us to be."

She must've noticed the confused look on my face because she laughs softly.

"You're mine," she says with a shy smile. "My girlfriend if you want."

I smile back and whisper a quiet "sure" before closing the door and watching her drive back the way we came.

As soon as I reach for the house key under the welcome mat, the door is abruptly pulled open and I look up to see Charlie standing there looking like he hadn't slept for three days.

"Bella?" he says before pulling me into a bone crushing hug. "I was so worried."

"Sorry dad," I whisper, feeling horrible for having him so worried.

"It's okay, I'm just glad you're back in one piece. You're grounded until college, understood?"

The fierce look in his eyes stops me from making a joke and I nod. "Yes sir."

He'll forget it by morning I'm sure.

A/N: Woot! Bella's okay! Grounded, but okay :D R&R And some progress in her relationship with Alice, that's always good ;)
