Chapter 10- New Charters, Old Starters
Disclaimer: As awesome as it would be, I don't own any of these characters. They all come from the brilliant mind of Stephenie Meyer.
Summary: What happens when a wolf sees a certain girl in one's mind? Is it an imprint, or not? Will Jealously rear it's ugly head and blur the lines of friendship. Or will Understanding reign? ...And will Bella find her heart with a wolf that she never saw coming, or hush the call of Want, Love, and Trust? Rated M for violence, swearing, and future lemons.

Bella POV:
Waking up next to Jared is like an out of body experience. Even with my eyes closed tight, trying to dissuade the offending morning light from seeping farther into my retinas, his scorching heat makes my heart smolder with delight and sets my every sense ablaze. It's almost hard to believe that last night truly happened. Did it? I journey back into the recesses of my mind.
(FLASHBACK)
Jared's hands on me- holding me, touching me. His tongue- lips everywhere. Jared on top of me, surrounding me, inside me…And then that fantastical peak of pleasure…
"Koo cloak lay…Bella…My Bella.."
"What does that mean," I hear myself whisper as my every pore soars.
"I love you…"
I blink wildly. Did he seriously just say what I think he did? No…No, he couldn't. I wasn't good enough for Ed- fuck! Stop it Bella, don't be stupid, w- Wait! Oh, now I'm THINKING "fu-"My hand inadvertently finds its way to my lips to try and stop the appending swear; my gaze still focused on the man before me. He lets out a chuckle, before gently tugging my hand away from said lips and kissing my fingertips, followed by a tender kiss against my mouth.
"Shh..Silly girl, always worried about cursing. Sweetie, don't think like that. Fuckward," a little crease pushes itself between my brows, but I'm starting to understand more so why he's dubbed him as such, "..he didn't deserve you." He speaks as though he could read the pattern of the gears turning in my head. "You have a good heart, Bella, such a good heart. And a mind all of your own. Believe me."
That crease must still be wedged atop my nose, because small tears form in his eyes, accompanying the hanging of his head. He places my hand over his heart and starts to pause and ramble. "Believe me, Bella…Petite amour…I know that it's only been a few days, but..My Qahla. My Sun, he didn't de-"
I give his cheek a peck, causing him to lift his head in attention. "Hey, hey. Okay! I believe you. I know. I…I..Koo cl- How do you say that again?" I laugh at myself as he finds that smile that I'm already coming to love more and more.
"Koo cloak lay."
"Yeah…That." He guffaws, sharing in the humor. "I love you too."
I cuddle into his side further when he kisses my forehead, and murmur "Sooo sleepy."
"Shh, Sweetie. Find them Zzzz's."
Another soft laugh passes by my lips as I slip into oblivion, and then…Peace.
(END OF FLASHBACK)
Yep. It definitely happened. I rub my thighs together, sticky once again. I guess thinking about that has just about the same effect as it did last night. I roll my eyes at my own expense before hearing a growl rumble out of the chest of my wolfman, beside me. Swiftly, he pulls me atop his body, pressing salacious kisses down my neck. I moan out in unbridled ecstasy as he grinds his hips against my own. An annoying ringing brings us out of our stupor. Damn cell phones! I groan, another eye roll finding its way to my visage. Jared lights up a laugh, forcing a smile to my face once more.
"Ya know, I was thinking the exact same thing!" He rolls me onto my back as he reaches for his cell, in the pocket of his cutoffs at the foot of the bed. Repositioning his face above mine, he comically speaks into the not-so-stranger on the cell whilst rolling one pert nipple between his fingers. I bite back a moan and glare at him humorously.
"Yeah…Yeah. C'mon, Qui- No..I know, man! But help a brotha out!" He over exaggerates the goofy phrase. I can vaguely hear poor Quil sputtering in the background. "No, man..I- Fuck, I just want Alph-y over here," Sam's booming, deep chuckle exit's the phone, "to get off of my back!"
"Alright, alright! Gahhh!" The laughter continues as he closes the phone, ending the call.
"What?" I rasp out.
"Sam. The guys…We all usually eat over at Emily's for breakfast. Sam was gonna give me a few days off of patrol to be with you. Or at least," he lets out a sigh, "until Charlie gets home. He's still sitting in with Sue, 'til Sam gives the go-ahead for Leah and Seth to come home. I wish that they- that we could just 'fess up to our parents about the whole shapeshifter business, but..Anyway, Sam still wants me over there this morning. Pack meeting. But you can come too." His look is hopeful.
"Really? I mean, aren't those meetings supposed to be private or something?"
"Yeah, but you're a part of this now. You're my imprint, my mate. But you're their sister now. Emily's not at all of the pack meetings, but a lot of them. I just…I know that I'm gonna be on edge with you there right now, but I..I want you there."
"Okay.." I pause, trying to figure out the first part of that sentence, "I'll come. But what do you mean 'on edge with me there.?'" And then it hits me. I don't know how, but I know. Ohhh..The male wolves thing.
"Yeah. Too much unmated wolf penis near my mate." He chortles, but then a growls emanates from his chest. He abruptly sits upright, pulling me into his lap to face him; clutching me and burying his face into my hair.
I place a calming palm against his chest and rake another through the hair at the nape of his neck. "Shh…Yours, Jared. Only yours." I kiss his temple and he relaxes beneath me.
"Yeah.." He gazes at me, a glassy, admiring stare adorning his features.
"C'mon, Grumpy Pants, Sam won't wait all day."
"Oh, really?" Jared lifts a challenging brow my way, and before I know it, he's standing with me pinned against the wall again.
He enters me in once hard and fluid motion and makes love to me gentle and strong all at the same time. The only way that Jared can, the only way I ever want to know.
Jared POV:
We arrive at Emily and Sam's just as the guys are finishing off their first round of muffins. I'm starving, and even the scent wafting from the house alone makes my stomach rumble, reminding me of my wolf appetite. But, right now? All that's on my mind is Bella. My mate...My Qahla. Too much testosterone on the premises, and my wolf isn't happy. C'mon, dude, keep it together. I repeat my inner mantra to myself over and over as she grips my hand and we breach the entrance. All action in the room, aside from Emily fetching more muffins from the kitchen, stops. All eyes are on us, except for Sam's, assessing Jacob's (leaning against the table) movements. Black's nostrils flare, and I try not to smirk, but the wolf is doubling the man's pride over claiming our mate. Skipping the shower's made my scent on Bella pick up to all of the others just as much as is does, joyfully, to my extra sensitive nose. Our alpha's bass rises from his throat. He tries to reign over my Brother's tremors.
"Jacob. Calm down…Now."
"You slept with him…already. Didn't you?" Oh, fuck! That's definitely directed at her..Keep it together, Cameron, just keep it together.
"Wha- wha- what? How can you te-" She stops herself mid-sentence, remembering our heightened senses. "Yes. Ja- Jake..He's my mate. I love him I-"
"You don't know how you feel!"
He takes a lunging step forward, as Sam and Paul, springing up out of their seats, intercept him. I push Bella behind my back, crouching before her in a defensive position and bare my canines. Still, I try to reason with my packmate.
"Jake..Stop! I mean it."
"I- I do know how I feel. Don't you try to tell me how I feel too, Jacob. Don't you go there!" She sobs as she grasps my shoulder from behind.
"I- I'm sorry, Bells. I- …No. I'm not. Bella, you reek of him! Do you really want to open your legs like that for everyone?"
"Shut up, Black! You know that it's not like that." Leah tries to reason with him from across the room, Embry joining in. "Jake, man. Calm down..Remember what we talked about before?"
(Jacob) "Yes. I do, Em. But..fuck! She should've been mine!"
I hear my imprint call back to him from behind. "Jacob, please..Don't, please.."
"No. Who was there for you all this time? Who put you back together? I know that he's your imprint, but..Damnit, Bella! couldn't you have waited longer? For fuck's sake, you're turning into a slut, huh?" He screams, and then tries to recompose himself, if only for a moment. "Wait..I..but, ahh!"
But the damage is already done. My wolf howls with rage and I advance forward until my Bella's plea stops me. "Please, Jared," she silently sobs, "I don't want you to fight..Don't..get hurt..again."
I rush back to her side and fold her tightly in my arms. The sound the table crashing causes my attention to turn abruptly back to one Jacob Black.
The next thing I know? The back of my head finds the wall, and my teeth find his arm.
Fuck.
