Hey guys, so I am rather annoyed at myself I accidentally deleted 3 pages of this chapter, so I had to re-write it, and as you know, it never types as good a second time, or this would be posted a lot faster, so I am sorry. Not to mention I have had 3 Uni Assessments due at once! It was so very hectic! On a happy note, I did manage to get a HD (high distinction) on my last assessment, which is a big deal for me, as it's the highest grade possible! I will spend as much time as I can on this story on the weekend, since I currently have no home work since I did all my assignments, so that is a big bonus!

Okay, as we all know, all things twilight belong to the one and only, Stephanie Meyer

Bella's POV

I spent the whole week obsessing about Friday. I had asked dad, and I think he agreed quickly, in hopes I'd move on from Edward. It had been 3 weeks since I last seen him, and it was hard, but slightly getting easier with the cute messages I received from a handsome Quileute. The first one, had been sent to me Monday.

Hey Bella, looking forward to Friday, have you asked Charlie? Always, Sam

I had smiled and gone and asked dad a moment later. I'd sent back a simple message.

Hey Sam, dad says its fine, see you Friday, Bella

I thought I may receive one or two more, but it ended up quite a few more. For example, Wednesday he sent 4. Most saying he was excited for Friday, and another asking if I wanted to have dinner with him. I had thought about saying no, but honestly, what was one dinner going to change?

So finally, today is Friday. I had school, but let's face it, school was boring. I was looking forward to getting to know Sam. I didn't know what it was about him, but he intrigued me. I knew it was only early days, but if we started dating, I'd have a normal boyfriend, and one I wouldn't have to change for. I went to all my classes, and nearly all of them, they couldn't finish fast enough. I had Science first class, followed by English, then double maths. Sometimes I surprised myself with staying awake. I put it down to excitement.

I got home not long after 3. Dad was at work till late, so I knew he wouldn't be home. I smiled, as I rushed up stairs. I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to wear, but I knew I could wear just about anything to the res. You didn't wear things that would be ruins in dirt, as there was always a bon-fire, and I had a feeling, tonight would be no different. I looked in my closet. Half of my things, I was a little put off by, as Alice, Edwards adopted sister had brought them all. While I was dating Edward, Alice thought that meant she could teach me a thing or two about style. She was sadly mistaken. Apparently, she had met better animals with stronger fashion sense. I knew she didn't mean it as an insult. She loved me, and the idea that we'd truly be sisters. Her fashion was wear things once, and never again. After all, Edward whole family were rich, and they really had no problems with spending what they liked. I was more reserved. I liked being able to buy something, knowing it meant something to me.

I took out one of the only tops Alice had brought that I liked. It was electric blue and was made of visclose polyester and curved perfectly to my hips. It had spaghetti straps on the shoulders. I liked it for the back was open, and had the straps criss-crossing down. It was a very feminine top, but I liked that it was comfortable. I curved well with my body, and I kind of wanted tonight to go well. I teamed the top up with a pair of blue skin tight jeans. I could easily get away with wearing my black and white vans. I smiled quite pleased with the look. It was still my rock look, splashed with femineity. I walked into the bathroom, peering into the mirror. I smiled, scrunching my curls into a messy bun. I used lip balm, so my lips weren't coloured, but looked healthy. I didn't like make-up so I didn't apply any. I walked into my room, getting a small leather bag, placing in my wallet, and phone. I walked down stairs, quite pleased that I hadn't needed to rush. I still had half an hour to get out to the Reservation, and it was only a twenty minute drive. I grabbed the house keys, locking the door behind me, hoping that tonight would be a great night out, and make Sam and I good friends.

Sam's POV

I had spent the entire day watching the clock. Bella had texted saying she would be at mine at about 4.30pm and I was a little nervous. I wanted to tell her tonight, of my imprinting as well as the tribe's history. After all, if she understood my imprinting, it meant that she would be a large part of my life, for the rest of my life. Besides, Billy and Old Quil had told me that Bella took the supernatural world well, since she had, had no worries dating the youngest Cullen male. There was also the point that she had become fairly friendly with the entire coven. There was nothing in this world that I would not do for her, and that included letting her stay in touch with the leeches if that was what she wanted. If we evolve into a romance, I would never look for another woman, and I would make sure, that she was well protected for the rest of her life. To me, Bella was perfect.

I shifted about; double checking everything was in its place. I had Jared and Paul come over earlier, and my house never seemed to stay in the shape they found it. My house was nothing massive; it was more like a cottage. It was hidden from the actual centre of the reservation, and draped in the large forest trees. It was perfect for my transformations, as there was rarely anyone about my property that was not already informed, or part of my pack.

My house was a three bedroom house that was made of aged timber. I had replaced a few panels due to aging, but it was still a great house. The house to me was home. My mum had passed it to me once she died a few years ago. It had been fairly aged and had needed quite a bit of fixing and renovations, but I was quite pleased with the end result. It resembled an old style house, with a fresh style. It was warm and inviting and I hoped more than anything that Bella would enjoy spending her time here. After all, if things went well with Bella and I, when we were ready, the house would become hers also. I am not saying I am ready to take my relationship to a new level, especially since, I had only met the girl twice and she still had another three months at school before she graduated, but it was on my mind. I knew who my soul mate was, and I was prepared to fight for her. I also had a feeling I would have to prove myself to Charlie before Bella and I would be allowed to become serious. After all, there were quite a few rumours that Charlie kept a gun close by at all times, and I had no doubt that he would threaten any male that came into Bella's life if they were to hurt I. It did not help that Billy had given me a good talking to about Bella's welfare when I spoke to him that day at his house. He had confirmed that Charlie would love nothing more than getting his hands on Edward for how he left his daughter. Billy mentioned as he had told this to Billy, he'd placed his hand on his gun holster. It had made me laugh, but Billy was worried a little what Charlie would say if the Cullen's did decide to return.

I paced my house as the clock came closer to 4.30 pm. I smiled as Bella's old truck pulled up outside my house. I walked outside onto the small porch. She smiled up at me as she opened her door. I stopped my jaw from hitting the ground as she came into full sight. She was gorgeous. She still had her style but the top she wore had definite advantages. Her body was perfectly shaped, and it made me very aware of my desire. Whether this was to do with imprinting or not, I wasn't sure.
"Hi." I said quickly as she came towards me.
"Hi." She said slightly blushing.

"Did you find the place okay?" I asked. She smiled with a nod, coming up beside me. I walked her inside, watching her as she placed her bag on my table and took in my kitchen. From there, she took in the lounge room.
"I really like the house. It is modern with a rustic feel." She said admiring it.

"Your parents have really good taste." She said to me. I smiled.
"Actually, it's all me. My mum died a few years back, and my dad died when I was four. I couldn't bring myself to sell it when mum passed." I said walking to the fridge, taking out a few cokes. I held one out to her. She took it, walking into the lounge room. She stopped at two photos that were in frames.
"Your parents?" She asked softly. I gave her a nod, not really saying anything. She smiled once more before sitting on the lounge. She looked up at me.
"So what's the plans Uley?" She asked with a cheeky grin. I smirked at the nickname.
"Well miss Swan, I wanted to talk to you. I…" I was suddenly very unsure how to talk to her about everything.
"What is it Sam?" She asked frowning. I put down my drink and sat beside her.
"Bella, what do you know of the tribe?" I asked, knowing the answer already.

Bella's POV

I wasn't really sure what was with Sam, but I could tell he was nervous.

I know about Taha Ali, and his third wife… I know that the legends say your ancestors were wolves… That's pretty much it." I said to him, keeping out the fact I knew and had dated a vampire. Sam looked away and then looked directly into my eyes. I felt my heart race. I wasn't sure why his stare would cause a reaction, but I tried hard to ignore it.
"Bella, you know the legends… you know about the Cullen's." He stated, almost causing me to gape at him.

"The Cullen's? What about them?" I asked, playing stupid. I suddenly felt like running. I wasn't allowed to talk about them.

"Bella, I know you know they are vampires. Billy and Old Quil informed me." He said somewhat softly. I looked at him.
"Sam, what do you want me to say? I am not really sure why we are even having this conversation…" I said nervous. He stood, offering his hand to me. I looked at his for a moment, not really sure if I wanted to take it or not.
"Please Bella, I need to show you something." He said softly. I softly slipped my hand into his. I suddenly felt the tingles. This time, I tried hard to ignore them as Sam walked me outside, and then began to walk me into the forest. I quickly stopped, not quite forgetting my last encounter with following a guy into the forests.
"It's okay Bella, I promise, you will not come to any harm." Sam said encouragingly. I wasn't sure why, but something in his voice made me believe him. I slowly followed him into the thick shrubs. I walked with him for about five minutes, then he came to a small clearing a couple of metres wide.
"Bella, what I am about to show you, no one but a few people know. I really need you to keep an open mind." He said softly, as he started to unbutton his shirt. My eyes suddenly widened.
"Bella, I really wish there was another way for this, but I need you to understand a few things before you leave tonight. I promise, I am not getting naked to make you the slightest bit uncomfortable." He said with a soft chuckle at my embarrassment. I could feel my face burning bright.

"Sam, why are you doing this?" I asked, hearing my voice quiver. Sam suddenly dropped his pants.
"Oh my god Sam!" I squealed. He looked nervously at me, as I attempted to cover my eyes.
"Bella, please, open your eyes, I promise its really, really necessary." He pleaded. I didn't understand why my body was obeying his every command, because I definitely did not want this! Slowly I opened my eyes. He looked at me apologetically for a moment, and then suddenly I screamed. Where Sam had been standing was now a gigantic midnight wolf. I gapped at him I silence. The wolf looked stern, but slowly walked over to me. The wolf head-butted against me.
"Sam?" I whispered. The wolf dropped down at my feet. I gapped. He was much taller than a horse, yet much thicker and muscle. He was absolutely gorgeous.
"This is why you all hate Edward's family…" I whispered as I gently stroke his fur. There was suddenly a howl. I looked up as two large wolves came running towards the wolf. Both wolves were equal in size but shorter then Sam. One had a dark silver coat and the other was dark brown that had a darker face. I stood in amazement as they looked at me, both wagging their tails. If I hadn't been so stunned and shocked, I would have laughed at them. I could only imagine what someone would do if they came across the three large wolves. There was another howl as a fourth wolf came running. I gapped at the slim wolf. He was sleek with pale grey, black spotted fur. His eyes seemed a little sad, and I wasn't sure why he was so familiar.
"Sam, I'm going to turn. Can you change back and get dressed. We have a lot to talk about." I said softly touching his nuzzle. He head butted again, before standing. I turned away. I heard soft movements.
"It's safe to turn Bella." Sam's voice said softly. I turned, looking at him.
"That was not what I was expecting." I said reaching out and gently patting the wolf that seemed sad.
"Who are these three?" I asked. He smiled.
"Paul, Jared and Embry." He answered. I looked at the sad wolf.

"Embry…" I said a little stunned.
"You're missing Jacob." I said more as a statement then a question. I froze as at a sudden realisation.
"Jacob…." I spun and looked at Sam.
"He's going to change isn't he? That's why he's gotten so big." I said stunned. Sam nodded.
"It'll be soon. We have been watching from afar, waiting. Billy knows everything." He said softly. Sam turned to Paul and Jared.
"Talking about Jake, why aren't one of you on him?" He asked. The dark silver wolf dropped slowly.
"Move it Paul." He said smiling. Paul gave a small whine before taking off back into the forest. Sam turned to Jared and Embry.
"He home and rest up Jared. You take over at dawn." He said to the brown wolf. I watched as Embry followed behind Jared.

"Bye Embry." I said softly. The turned his head to face me acknowledging me before disappearing.

Sam's POV

I thought Bella had taken it rather well. I had called my brothers to join me for a moment, so Bella was aware, I was never alone. She seemed stunned at first, but Billy had definitely been right. Bella did weird well.

I walked with Bella back to the house. She stayed quiet as we walked. I opened the door for her. She gave me a soft smile before stepping inside. Once on the couch, she looked at me.
"Well, I know you have a lot of questions, but I need you to know, no one can know about us. The boys all understand that what we are is secret. Not even their families know." I said softly to her. She looked at me a little stunned.
"Why tell me Sam?" She asked softly.
"I mean, not that I mind or anything, but if it's a huge tribe secret, why tell me at all?" She asked. I sighed again, now would be the time I had to tell her.
"I imprinted on you Bella." I stated bluntly. She looked at me strangely.

"Imprinted?" She asked. I nodded.
"It means, you're my soul mate." I said softly. I watched as her jaw dropped.
"Soul mate… Wow." She sat back taking it all in. I gave her a minute.
"Bella, I need you to understand, I will never force this on you. I just wanted to get to know you, and maybe have at least a friendship. There is nothing I wouldn't do for you Bella. My inner wolf recognised you are his ultimate mate. You are the only person I can imprint with." I tried to reassure, in hopes I was not freaking her out. She sat up quickly, startling me.
"That's why I feel tingles!" She suddenly exclaimed. I looked at her with a small smile.

"Yeah, it's our souls recognising each other." I said softly. She looked at me for a moment.
"My life will never be simple again." She said smiling. I shook my head.
"But Bells, knowing what I do about you, granted it's all second hand and all, but your life has never truly been simple." I joked. She laughed with me. I couldn't help enjoying her laughter. This was the start and on the inside, I could feel my wolf already becoming complete attached to the woman in front of me. I was doomed, the moment I imprinted.
