Chapter 15
Paul went back to help the guys at Billy's backyard. As fun as it was, things start to get a little messy so it's up to him and the boys to clean the backyard since Billy can't. While he, Jacob, Sam, Emily, Leah and Renesmee was helping cleaning up around the bonfire, the rest of the boys were playing, hitting around until they tumble on the grass. Most of them were shirtless but Paul, Jacob and Sam was wearing their shirts since they tend to show their master piece to their mate only.
Suddenly, out of nowhere Seth stood still after wrestling with Jared. He became stiff and his eyes were closed. Paul noticed this as well as the other and he asked, "What's wrong, Seth?" Seth opened his eyes but when he glared at them, it was glowing, "Do you smell that?" All of them look at each other and closed their eyes, curious to what Seth had meant. Paul starts to scent a sweet fragrance of jasmine with a hint of fresh woods. His body went stiff and his muscles ache. He knows his eyes were glowing and when he opened his eyes, everyone else was doing the same thing except for Emily and Renesmee.
"There's a new wolf here." Jacob said and everyone growled. The new wolf smells different than anyone here. It was obvious the wolf belongs to another pack and doesn't belong here. The wolf was considered as trespassers but they could also scent the fear coming from the wolf. Paul heart aches badly and his wolf was urging him to look for the wolf. His thought was on Angelique because the scent was similar to her. He was confused. He turned to the others and said, "We got to look for him or her. As much as it pisses us off since the wolf trespasses, it's obvious he or she is in pain. We got to help'em."
Jacob and Sam nodded so all of them except for Emily and her children ran into the woods and shift quickly, chasing after the scent. As they ran, Paul was able to see the wolf trail and it left a rather strong scent of fear. His chest aches, thinking about the pain that the wolf had gone through and again, his thought was on Angelique. What the hell is going on, he asked himself feeling worried. Then, the wolf was heading to a cave near the river. Paul growled to the rest, Stop!
Jacob and Sam stopped as well as their pack. Renesmee step closer to Jacob and rubbed his fur. Paul step closer to the cave and the fresh jasmine scent became stronger. When he enters the dark cave, he was surprised. In front of him stood a magnificent wolf, covered with pure white fur. The wolf has bright stark blue eyes and long fangs on each side of her jaws. Even with dirt that brushes against its white coat does not shed the beauty of the wolf. Yet, the wolf looked scared and it was shivering heavily.
When Paul tried to scoot closer, the wolf step back and gave a small growl. At first, the wolf does not sound clear but when Paul concentrate on what it was trying to say, he heard the sweetest sound in his mind. P..Paul Paul could not believe it. The wolf that attracts him and stood right in front of him in fear was none other than his mate. Angelique! He was stunt and he growled softly, Angelique, is that you? The white wolf sniffs the air and moved slowly, trying to get closed to him but she gave out a small whine. Paul eyes were on her feet and he saw blood covered it. The wolf must've been hurt while she was running in the woods. Again the white wolf growled, Paul? I..is that y..you?
Paul could not stand being in his wolf form and not say a word so he decided to shift back into his human form. Even though he was practically nude in front of everyone, he didn't give a damn and slowly walk closer to Angelique, "I know you're scared right now but I need you to trust me, Angel. Please, it's me my love." Wolf Angelique was a little scared so she step back slowly, giving out a whine since the pain on her paws was hurting her. Paul sighed and knelt down. He gave a calm look, looking at her saying, "I don't know what happen exactly, Angel but you must know that you can trust me. I belong to you as you belong to me. I love you. Trust me, my love."
Wolf Angelique stared at him with longing eyes. She starts to walk slowly towards Paul and slowly, her transformation into human start. The white fur covered her skin slowly disappearing into her smooth ivory skin. Her snout also started to change into her pink luscious lips and her white fur on her head turn into long golden hair. Her bright blue wolf eyes became humans once more and she stood in front of Paul, only in her bare body without a stitch of clothes. Dirt covered part of her skin but she was still so breathtakingly beautiful that Paul wolf was mad because the rest of the unmated wolves could see her like that. However, Paul was more concerned of her well-being that her looks because Angelique was shivering and tears was rolling down her cheeks and blood splattered all over her feet.
Paul walks closer to her an Angelique was limping as she finally got her hands on Paul's shoulder. She might not be crying like a traumatize person but she looks like she was on the edge. She spoke, "Wh..what's wrr…rong with m..me? I ..don't g..get it. I wasn..'t sssupposed t..to b..beco..me this." She widened her hands and in the end, she cried her eyes out and passed out on Paul. Paul was able to hold her before she fell on the ground. He could feel his mate's pain yet he was unable to do anything about it.
Angelique had lied to him and everyone. She might've been a vampire but she was never part human. She was part wolves. It sounds so impossible yet he was holding the living proof in his arms. She looks so weak and scared. If only he could take away the pain she felt but Paul knows that all that happens was because she kept the secret from them. He stood up while carrying Angelique in his arms and walks away to their home.
Angelique woke up with a headache. When she opened her eyes, she looks around and noticed that she wasn't on Cullen's property. Her surroundings were much different than them. It has a cosy country atmosphere. There was a fireplace near the wall of the big room. A black leather couch situated at the left of the room and a round glass table with a black wooden stand stood in the middle of the room complete with a vase of flowers on top. Finally, the walls are made from fine woods and it was in a creamy brown that makes the rooms more alive. Clearly the antlers and the coat around the fireplace proofs the room belongs to a man. She stares at the window and ray of sunshine shines through it.
She was about to step out of the bed but she was blushing when she realized that she was only wearing a huge black button down shirt and a huge boxers that is tied to fit her waist. She also realized that her feet was wrapped with bandages and traces of blood soaked the bandages a little. She stood up and her big clothes covered her shorts and the shirt falls on her shoulder giving her sexier morning looks with her slightly messy hair.
She walks around a little and noticed that her feet was starting to feel alright so she tore the bandages off. Not a scratched can be found so she decided to walk out to the door. When she was outside she heard people chatter but they stops when she was in the living room with the Cullen's and almost all of the wolves there. She froze and took a step back but her feet stops when she felt a pat on her shoulder. She turned around and stared into Paul's eyes. He was smiling and she bet, it was one of his efforts to keep her at ease. She said, "What happened? Why am I here? Why are all of you here?" Paul holds her hands and she blushed, "Why don't we take a seat? You must've been tire with everything that happens. Are you hungry or thirsty? I could take something for you."
Angelique shook her head and touched her forehead. "N..no. I'm fine but I don't understand what's going on. Why am I here, Paul?" He looked at Carlisle and brought her to a sofa where Renesmee and Bella sat. Renesmee hold her hand to hers and smiled. Carlisle sat on a chair in front of her and asked, "Do you remember about anything that happened last night?" Angelique scrunched her eyebrow. "What do you mean? Paul sent me home after the bonfire and I went home. Nothing happened." She heard sighed in the room and turned to everyone who looked worried.
"Are you sure, Angelique?" Carlisle asked again. She think back for a second and all the things that happened that night, the bonfire, stories, herself shift and her turning into a white wolf came to her like a flash flood. She held both of her head and screamed loudly. She tried to get away from there but Paul and Renesmee hold her in a tight grip and let her cried. It seems that not all of her tears have escaped her eyes yet. She sniffed, "I wasn't s..supposed t..to shift. T..that part wasn't supposed to be a..alive. It was d..dead. That b..beast was s..suppose to be dead!" She cried on his chest and everyone looked at her sadly. Paul rubbed her back as she tried to keep herself at bay.
Edward said with a serious tone after she calmed down, "No more room for lies now, Angelique. Tell us the truth now if you want us to help you." She looked at him with fear but she knows that he was telling the truth. They know her secret now and no matter what happens, she can't keep it to herself anymore. She looked down and said with tears still wetting her cheeks, "I'm sorry. I wasn't supposed to lie. I am what I said I am. Half dead and half alive. My mother was a vampire but my father, he was different. He was a werewolf."
Everyone whisper to each other but Jacob and Sam calmed them down. Renesmee rubbed her arms and said, "Go on, Angelique. We're here for you." Angelique nodded slowly and turned to Paul. She said with tears rolled down her cheeks yet again, "The story that Billy told you, he was talking about me. I was the daughter of the wolf chief and the vampire from Volturi." Paul was a little shocked but he made sure not to look too surprised even though he clearly was. Angelique continued again, "The vampires hated me for what I am and hated my parents for being together. I told you that I grew up with everybody who despised me and I lived my life with mockery and shamed for what my mother had done even though I know all she did was follow her hearts. I have never shift into a wolf when I was in Voltera and that was the reason I was still alive in the first place but now, how can I ever go back? They'll hate me. God knows what they would do to me if they find out what has happened. What I have become." She covered her face and cried once more.
She could not stay too long and absorb their tension so, with her supernatural speed, she ran to the woods. She never looked back even when Paul and Renesmee called for her. She just kept on running as far as her feet can bring her. Then, she found a huge waterfall and sat on a huge rock near the lake. She cried again and finally she could let all her worries and fears out.
Suddenly, she hear footsteps coming towards her so when she decided to flee, Paul called out to her. "How long do you think you can run?" Angelique stopped and turned to him. He ran here not in his wolf form but in his human state instead. The pants that he wore were the proof of that.
Angelique became annoyed, "What are you talking about? Can you stop looking out for me? I had it with people who think that they understand and care for me when in fact, they don't! Even for you!" Paul looked sad and wanted to hold her hands but she step away, "No! I know everything Paul. You o..only care for me until now because you believed that I am your mate. Tell me. If you have never imprinted on me in the first place, would you still want a freak like me? Would you still take me out to that dinner? Would you still want to get to know the real me? Would you still care for me when I'm hurt? Would you still take me to the bonfire and introduced me to your family? Would you still come to me knowing that I am part vampire and werewolf who are engaged to someone else and love me for it?" She ended with tears and a heart ache.
Paul was more determine and he steps forward with her hands in his. He used his right hand and wiped away the tears that stained her cheeks. He wrapped his hands around her waist and brought her closer to his chest. She could feel his warm broad and hard chest. She looked up to him and he placed a soft kiss on her cheeks. Then, he placed his fingers on her chin and said with a genuine smile, "I love you with all of my heart, Angelique. Even if I had never imprinted on you, I would have been crazy about you when I first saw you because never in my life I have met a woman you captured my hearts in so many ways as you."
Angelique was stunned and her cheeks was slowly blushing to pink, "Wh..what do you mean?" He said with a grinned, "When I first met you Angelique, I saw a beautiful woman who has a strong fire inside of her and that anyone who tries to put it down will suffer deadly consequences. Not only you thrive to be strong, you have a kind heart and willing to put others people need and happiness before you. Even when you faces pain and even more pain, you never gave up and you keep on fighting against all odd and that my love, is what makes me fall deeply in love with you."
Angelique whispers his name, yet he continue to speak while wrapping both of his hands around her, making both of their body pressed to each other and their eyes melted to each other, "So, if I have never imprinted on you in the first place, my heart would still want you so much that it hurts. I would take you to so many dinners and maybe tried that ridiculous soup if that what makes you happy and get to know everything about you as you will get to know everything about me. Then, I would bring you to every bonfire that went on and introduced you to everyone in my family including the people of La Push that is closed to me. Finally, I would still want you and work hard to get you even if you are the most beautiful and magical combination of werewolf and vampire who is engaged to a real freak. I would make you mine no matter how hard it's going to be because my heart belongs to you, Angelique."
Her heart has melted to the core and his beautiful speech kept on playing in her thoughts. When Paul brought his lips to hers, she could not resist and both indulge the sweet taste of each other. Paul slides his tongue on her lowers lips, making her moan so he took the opportunity to enter her sweet cavern. Their tongues mashed with each other and their body was so closed that every movement sent lightning thrill to their body. She uses her fingers to comb his hair and hold his shoulder as Paul deepened their kiss. It was so hot and so erotic and they wanted more and more.
Paul released her lips when he felt his erection and how hard he started to become. He did not want to take the risk of mating her, knowing that she wasn't ready. He doesn't have to guess that his Angel was in fact a virgin. She was so innocent and so pure even though her kisses told him otherwise but he refuses to make love to her while her heart was still aching and in pain.
They rest their forehead on each other and both smiled with pure joy. Maybe everything was going to be smooth as they had hope….
Pair of red eyes was watching Paula and Angelique from afar. The vampire was silently giving out an eerie grin. He can't wait to find out what awaits for the beast when her fiancée know of her unfaithfulness and the animal she had become. Even Marcus would have trouble saving her damn daughter when the whole Volturi knows of her treachery. In the end, the vampire in her could not surpass the animal that grew within. He slowly crept away and took out his phone from inside his jeans pocket, "Hello. It would be a great pleasure if I can talk to Alec .Me? Well, the things I'm going to tell him will definitely be his damn business, madam" He spoke with a grin plastered on his face.
