Chapter 28
"So," I said, turning to Edward. "I heard the conversation between you and Paul. I want to know who Jacob is and what happened between the two of us."
"I told you to return to Edmund," he sighed and I shrugged. "I suppose you never used to listen to me, why start now?"
The memory of me wanting to submit to him came to mind, which made his words confusing, but I pushed it away. "Tell me, please," I begged.
Edward sat down on the bed and ran his hand through his hair. "Jacob used to be a member of the pack."
"Use to?"
"I kicked him out after he had an incident with you. Paul is his brother. He has always been very bitter about it, claiming Jacob's innocence, but I never thought he would go as far as to hurt you."
"He didn't hurt me," I said, confused.
"He had his hands on you. He knows he is not permitted to touch the Alphaess. He may not have hurt you this time, but who's to say what would have happened next time. I'm not taking any more chances where you are concerned."
"Okay," I said. "So what are you going to do to him?"
"He has been demoted from Sentinel to Omega, and he's lucky to get that."
I nodded, not really having any idea what that meant. "And Jacob?"
"He got drunk one night I was out on patrol, and the two of you got into an argument. I'm still not sure what it was about. He lost control of himself and turned, and then he attacked you. You were still a Druid at the time so you didn't have our super healing. He cut you up pretty bad. It took you weeks to heal. Paul was there. He was insistent you were the one to blame, but I always got the feeling that he was saying that to protect his brother."
"What if I was the one to blame?" I asked, worried that I was causing such a rift in his pack.
Edward shook his head. "It doesn't matter. He should never have put his hands on you or attacked you. You may not have been the Alphaess then, but you were still my mate. You were still mine. If he had a problem, then he should have come to me."
"Alpha-what?"
"Alphaess, it means you are the female alpha."
"Oh."
"It means you are above all the members of the pack, other than me. It also means that you are to be respected and that you have some pull over the pack."
"Pull?"
"Something like my alpha powers, though not as strong."
"Oh," was all I managed to say. I had no idea that I held such a strong position in his pack. I mean I knew I was his mate and he was the alpha, but I had no idea that it meant this.
