Chapter 16

Morning rays shines through the window of the bedroom. Angelique woke up from her deep slumber and felt a warm body and hard chest next to her. When she finally opens her eyes, she realised that Paul was lying next to her and they were sleeping on the same bed. She can't help but blushed at the sight of his masculine face resting right in front of her. His eyes were closed and from there, she could observe how handsome he was. His eyelashes were thick and his smooth yet hard face was brilliant. He was absolutely perfect and there is nothing that could take the beauty out of it. His sculpted nose makes more of him looks dashing and she can't help but trace his lips with her fingertips. When she touched his lips, he grinned.

Angelique quickly snatched away her fingers but her body never move an inch. Somehow, her body just wants to stay there as long as he was there. It feels like home. Then, pair of brown was staring directly at hers. Paul smile sexily and rested his head on his knuckles with his arms on the pillow. "You look like a goddess Angel." Angelique was embarrassed so she sat on the bed. She realized that she was wearing a big sweatshirt and panties. Her sleeve was so long that it covered her hands. She looked up to him, looking somehow worried if he was the one that undressed her.

Paul eyes widened so he sat and raised both of his hands out, "No, no. I know what you're thinking but it wasn't me. I would never strip you without your permission. You fell asleep again last night, remember? Renesmee felt bad because the outfit you wore yesterday was quite dirty after the run you had in the woods so she was the one who changed it for you. I swear." Angelique could hear the sound of his heart beats and it was slow. He was telling the truth. She closed her eyes and sighed. Then, she put her legs down on the floor and turned to him, "You still don't hate me after all of that?"

Paul stare at her for a long time, "Now, why would I hate you?" Angelique bit her lower lips, "Come on, Paul. I'm a freak. You have to realized that somehow. Don't you fear me or disgust with me at all? Everyone did." She looked down. Paul move closer to her and when he put his feet down, the blanket fell off and Angelique could see the long pants he wore. It still looks good on him. "If you still think that you're a freak, well, God definitely knows how to make the most gorgeous freak in the world."

Angelique giggled. Paul said to her, "You're not a monster or a freak Angelique. You're beautiful. Inside and out. If you need me to remind you about that then I am happy to do it every single day. My dad used to tell me that a monster is only what a person can show by their action but not by what is in their blood, okay?" Angelique gasped. She said, "You sound exactly like my father."

Paul grinned, "At least I know that there's a part of me that you like." There was silence in the room for a moment. Suddenly Paul asked her, "Did they really treat you badly, Angel? The vampire in Volterra, were they really that cruel?" Angel took a deep breath and exhaled. She gave a weak smile. "They are. They would say cruel things about me, my mother and real father. It was painful since back then, I don't even know Marcus wasn't my real father until I hear them talking about how my mother has tainted the whole coven by bringing me into this world. Then, they would hurt me just to show how much they hated me."

Paul was enraged. He holds both of her shoulders so that she faced her, "How did they hurt you? Tell me!" Angelique looks down and said, "They would accidentally hurt me like pushed me around or accidentally attack me, thinking that I was a trespasser. It's not that bad actually because it's not like I suffered badly or covered with scars. Father makes sure that they never did that again though."

Paul was so angry. If only he could go back in time to ripped all of the heads of vampires that hurt his mate. How could they do that to her when she was so kind and pure? His instinct told him to hug her and he did. He hugs her so tight and whisper, "I would never do that to you or a allow anyone to hurt you like that, Angel. God, listening to your pain makes me want to rip out all the heads of the vampires that did that to you. I'll protect you with all of my heart and I swear I will protect you with all of my being." Angelique eyes watered and she was happy to indulge in that warm hugs.

Then, when they released their hugs, Paul said to her, "Do you want me to teach you how to shift?" Angelique eyes widened and she said, "Help me to become a wolf?" Paul nodded his head and said, "Yeah. I can help you to shift naturally and help you to be a great wolf. No pain at all and at the same time, you can control your anger if you want to. Even though you clearly got a hang on it." Angelique smile and she hug him unexpectedly, "Yes! Yes! Help me!" She released him and stood up looking so excited, "Oh my! I can't wait!" She looked at him and holds his hands to hers, "Now, the vampires in Volturi including Caius can't say anything bad about me if I can control it! I..I mean my wolf."

Paul wasn't happy when she said that. It was like she still wanted to get back to the hell hole she called home but he can't take the risk of erasing the pure joy that lit up in her face. He nodded and again Angelique hugs him, feeling so happy, "Thank you, Paul. You don't know how much it means to me." Paul rubbed her hair and says, "Anything for you, Angel."

Angelique was so excited in the first place but when the entire wolf from Jacob's and Sam's pack including Paul himself was there, she was nervous as hell. It feels like everyone was staring at her and she felt like a black sheep in the pack. Sam stepped in front of her and she felt so small when he looked down at her like that. He was shirtless like everyone else except for Leah. When he crossed his arms, his muscles flexed. He was huge!

"Paul told me you were interested in learning about us and changing into us. As much as I hate vampires and you're part of them, you're still part of us and it will always be that way." Sam offered his hand and Angelique shook it with a nervous smile. Then, she noticed three boys were hiding behind him and they looked so cute. Angelique smiled at them. All three boys stepped in front and crossed their arms just like Sam. It doesn't take much to guess they were Sam's sons.

"We heard about you." The tallest one said but Angelique still kept her smile intact. The one still holding Sam's leg said, "Are you going to hurt us?" Angelique giggled. She knelt down and offered her hand, "I will never do that. I'm a wolf just as you and I hope that you can accept me as your pack. Can I?" The cute boy lean his head to the side, trying to make a decision. Then, he asked, "Can you shift like us?" Angelique nodded, "I can but I still have trouble doing it though. Can you teach me?" He smiled and said, "Okay." They giggled.

She didn't realize that Paul was staring at her and the sight melted his manly heart. Even though it was pretty soon, he can't wait to have children with Angelique. Maybe a beautiful girl with golden hair like her or a boy that looks like him. Doesn't matter what they looked like but it's a blessing if they were to have children together. But, the one most important thing he wants is to make her happy.

Angelique turned to her and in a blink of an eye; she was right in front of him. He was stunt at first but he quickly gets himself together. "Can we start now?" She asked innocently. Paul nodded, bringing him in the middle of the large field. They were in the forest and everyone already shift into their wolf form. Even Sam's son was in their wolf form but they looked so cute!

Paul spoke to her, "I want you to close your eyes and listened to your surroundings." Angelique do exactly what he had instructed to her and he spoke again, " Now I need you to concentrate clearly in what you hear. Tell me, Angel? What did you hear?" She took a deep relaxing breath and keeps calm. The sound of wind touching her face and blowing into the forest was strong. Then, she could hear the chirping of birds on trees and pitter-patter of the ground made by the animals in the jungle.

She inhale and exhale for a couple of times. Paul continued, "Now, let your wolf out. Let her know your surroundings and how much you need her to come out. You must know that your wolf now feel safe shifting here because she knows her family is here. There's no danger here, Angel. Let yourself go." Angelique focused on her wolf. She could see a pure white wolf with elongated fangs that stare directly at her with bright blue eyes. She looks so calm and free. She focused on herself being that wolf and slowly, she could feel the transformation overwhelm her. She opened her eyes and it was glowing.

She walks slowly to the forest at first but the when her wolf was determined to come out, she ran in a normal speed and the rest of the wolf followed her as well as Paul who already shift a while ago. Paul was right. The transformation wasn't painful at all and in a blink of an eye, she jumped and all of her clothes were torn to pieces. When her body reached the ground, she was in her magnificent wolf form.

She gave out a long howl and everyone else was doing the same thing. She turned her head to the side and notice something fluffy behind her moving. When she tried to use her hand, she fell and notice there was none. There were only her paws but it didn't stop her from chasing the fluffy object stick on her back and she was running around when she heard a chuckle but in a rather rough tone. She turned around and saw a huge grayish wolf in front of her which makes her surprised and fell on the ground again. You're too cute, Angel. She quickly stood on her paw and God, she was surprised that the wolf which looks so intimidating and somehow…handsome was talking to her. She noticed that everyone else already left for their run.

She tried to speak but there was only soft growls coming from her throat. She thought to herself, P..paul? What's wrong with my voice?The male wolf suddenly rubbed his furry head to hers and gave a soft purr; We don't really speak like that, Angel.Angelique backed away from the wolf and whisper in her thoughts,You can hear me? B.. but how? She heard him spoke to her but it was odd since he was growling softly at her yet, she could understand him clearly but his words were in her thoughts. Well, the sound that we make as a wolf is just to get your attention but the ways we wolf speak is through mind link. I can hear your thoughts as you can hear mine. Right now, your thoughts are 'very' loud, babe.

Wolf Angelique growl angrily with her eyebrows scrunched, That's rude. My thoughts are private and aren't meant to be share! Paul circled her and quickly jumps on her and flips her body as soon as his head was on her belly. She whines as she fell and when she tried to stand up to attack him, Paul was on top of her. He rubbed his head on her furry neck and licked her coat until he heard a snickered coming from Angelique. Stop it! It tickles! N..no! He wanted to stop but Angelique was so cute when she laughed and it's not easy to hear that from her so he kept on licking her fur over and over until she begs him to stop.

He walked away from her and sat on the ground next to her with a grinned that she can't help but thought sexy even in his wolf form. She got up and shakes her head, trying to get rid of any dirt that was stuck on her fur. She looked at him and grunts angrily, I should do something evil to you right now. His grinned was still there and he said, Well, the only evil think you could do is leave me and break my heart, babe. Guilt overwhelms her and her wolf whines. Paul, don't start this okay. I don't think I can handle it when you say that.

Paul stood up and walked up to her. He licked her cheek and lean his forehead on hers, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I just got carried away. Forget what I said alright? She nodded. Then, Paul spoke; do you want to run with me? You'll feel really good. Promise. Angelique thought for a second and then she nods. Paul was excited of course since he's finally going to have his first run with his mate. They walk side by side and slowly speeding into the woods, not caring whether their enemy are watching over them from afar.

"It was great! Thank you so much for bringing me, Paul." Angelique was running and twirling in the woods. They already shift into their human form and Renesmee was to kind by preparing changes of dress and undergarments for her near the waterfall where Paul told her to put and where they rested after their run. Paul was tired but it was obvious that Angelique wasn't since she was happily dancing by the trees and that sight warms his heart since she was comfortable doing anything she wants beside him.

"Oooh! I can't wait to explore this forest, hike these mountains, and jump from one place to another in my wolf form, oh! There are just so much things to do, Paul. If only Volterra was like this." She hugs herself and smile sweetly to Paul. An angel she was with her straps white gown and her wavy hair kiss by the wind. Paul smiled. He leaned against a huge oak tree wearing only black pants with his muscles chest bare

"Why don't you just stay?" Angelique stops smiling and pouted. She looks sad, "Stay? How long? I'm only here for three months. I don't think I can stay much longer." Paul stood up and walks up to her. He slowly pulls her hair that flows to her cheeks behind her ear and hugs her. Angelique was caught off guard and what she hears was too overwhelming. "I love you, Angelique. I know you care about me too. Whether its love or any kinds of affection you have for me is enough. Just stay with me. Stay here forever and I promise you that I will make you happy."

Angelique eyes watered and she slowly untangled his hands from hers, "I'm sorry Paul. I can't. I can't stay here, okay. My home is in Volterra and I'm engaged. Doesn't matter how much I am in love with you, we can never be together." Her tears started to roll down her cheeks. He let go of her and hold both of her cheeks gently. He felt bad for making her cry but he can't help for feeling so angry with her. How can she be willing to stay in the hell hole she called home? "I don't get it. You hated that place. They hurt you, Angelique! That guy, Alec. He's a terrible guy and I promise you that every second goes by in your life will be full of hurt and pain and you will suffer in his hands but I swear to you that I will dedicate the rest of my life making you happy if you stay by my side."Angelique pushed him away and wiped away her tears and said, "It's not that easy, Paul! I can't just let go of everything that has been a part of me and be with you. I have a commitment to my coven and to my fa_!"

"Father." Paul finished her sentence. Angelique kept her mouth closed but it was shaky. "It's your dad isn't it? He's your dad, Angelique. If you just let him know or let me talk to him that we want each other and that we truly care about each other, he will be happy to accept the reality of us being together. Every father wants to see their daughter happy, Angelique and if you were to marry Alec, he will hurt you and in return, it will hurt your dad even more. Just let me speak to your dad. Maybe I _"

"No! Don't you ever speak to my father. He will kill you in seconds, alright? I won't ever forgive myself if he hurt you, Paul. You just can't. You got to understand that it's hard for me just to let everything go just because I met you." Paul growl and he was breathing so hard that his eyes were glowing gold. He steps into a tree and punched it so hard that the tree was shaking and fell on the ground. Blood oozed from his wounds on his fist but he did not groaned in pain at all. His anger was totally consuming his thoughts that Angelique was terrified. However, her heart ache looking at the wounds he have so she stood closer to him and wanted to hold his hand yet he pushed her away. He didn't mean to be rough but he was quiet rough that she staggered back.

"I'm sorry but I don't think you should touch me right now. You have to know that all of this is plain stupid. You would gave up your happiness for the sake of a cold blooded man that won't think second of torturing you and your father which no offence even though he's a great man for saving and cared for you after all this years, still let you marry that son of a bitch." Silence was in the air but when he flexed his muscles, he whispered, "I love you, Angelique. Why can't you see that? Am I not good enough for you?" Angel stood up slowly yet tears that rolled down her cheeks were endless. She said again, "Paul, please. You have to understand me. It's not that simple."

Paul turned his head and her heart sore as she witnesses the tears that wet his cheeks but his expression was hard. Without saying a word he turned back and quickly shifts into a wolf as he drifted into the woods. Angelique was left crying as she kept on calling out for Paul but he was gone. She wiped off her tears and walked into the woods trying to find him and continue to call out his name but what happen brought her step to a dead end.

"Looking for something, Angel?" The smooth tone of the voice was so tempting yet it sound so lethal. When she turned around, she was overcome with fear as her eyes were staring deeply into Alec's red eyes. He was grinning and his arms were crossed. Small rays of sunlight that passed the tree kiss his skin, making it look like glittering diamonds that was giving a deadly vibe. Angelique staggered back but a huge tree stop her.

He was walking up slowly to her as he said, "You look so beautiful, Angel. Not even the dirt that shades your skin can keep that beauty away." He came up closer to her and gently rubbed his thumb on her cheeks. "You look so fragile. I wonder. If I were to break you, how long will you survive?" She gasped and with her supernatural speed, she tried to run from there but Alec hugs her from behind. She shut her eyes tightly as her tears fell. Cold ran down her spine as she tried to escape from his grip. Her fear increases as Alec's lip landed on her neck and he was sniffing her hair softly. "I thought the wolf you would spoil everything." He kissed her neck, "Your smell." He licked her neck, "Your taste." And finally, he gripped her neck tightly until she choked, "Your fear. Yet, everything is still here. It's delicious, love."

She whisper, "Please let me go, Alec. I beg of you." Alec shushed her gently and spoke in her ear, "Why do you fear me? You know I love you, Angel yet you have done something behind my back." His grip became tighter. Angelique was gasping for air and he said again, "Do you think I don't know about your little affair with that bloody mutt? How dare you. I don't think you know the kind of man that I am. Let me show you Angel how 'jealous' I can be."

He held her neck and throws her into a tree. Her body slam into it and she fell on the ground, moaning in pain. She tried to stand up but Alec hold her hair tightly until her feet was in the air. He punched her stomach hard, and threw her to the side until she hit a rock where blood was slowly pouring from the wound on her head. Nicks and bruises mark her body and face that every tears that rolled down her cheeks stinks. Even her dress was torn and tattered that her thighs was visible. She used her hands and tried to get up from the ground but she was in pain, realizing that her right arm was already broken from the impact.

When Alec walks up to her, he grabbed her broken arms roughly until she groaned. As her feet try to support her body, Alec step on her calf and she screamed loudly, feeling her bones breaking. Alec seems like he was having a good time since he was smiling all the time. He said, "Are you in pain, love. I'm not sure if that's enough after what you did yet you sound so pathetic. Where has your training gone to? Isn't that the reason why you're in this God forsaken town in the first place?"

Anger seeped into her soul and she used her fine legs and kicked him as hard as she can. Alec was thrown across the forest and slammed into a tree. She gasped for air and when her foot was too broken to walk, she crawled slowly on the forest ground. Hope was thin yet she never stop whispering to her beloved, "P..Paul…help m…me p..pplease.." When Alec was on his feet, he looked back and spit to the side, looking more lethal than ever and gave a sinister grinned. "Get ready bitch."
