Chapter 34
I hurried over to Edward's side, wondering what was going to happen.
Paul was down on the ground, crawling backward as Edward stalked towards him. Paul had a look of pure fear in his eyes. He knew he had been caught. He knew I had remembered.
Edward grabbed the hair on his head and yanked him to his feet, turning to the crowd that had now gathered. "Our Alphaess has her memories back!" he shouted for all to hear. "This is the traitor that led to her capture!"
Snarls and growls erupted from the crowd as many of them changed into their wolf form. Edward gave a signal and they all move forward, enclosing the three of us in a large circle. There would be no chance of escape for Paul.
Edward tossed Paul to the ground. I think he was struggling to keep control, his full body was shaking, but he knew we needed answers before he killed him. "You will tell me why you did it and what Aro knows, and you will tell me now," Edward snarled.
"He knows nothing, I swear," Paul whined, sitting up and looking around himself in a panic. "I would never tell him about the boy or betray the pack. I only gave him his daughter. I swear to you."
"She is your leader," Edward growled. "You betrayed the pack the second you gave them information and handed her over. Why!?" Edward growled. "Why did you do it!?"
"She's not one of us!" Paul shouted. "She's one of them, and I did it as retribution for my brother." He said as he stood up. "He didn't deserve to be kicked out of the pack. If anyone did, it was her. She doesn't belong with us. She isn't one-"
Edward growled, silencing him. He had changed into wolf form now and his eyes were glowing bright blue. He was in complete alpha mode now.
I wracked my memories, struggling to remember the night Jacob attacked. I was desperate to know what had happened.
Edward was out of a patrol, Carlisle was with him. One of the women had gone into labor, and I had seen Paul and Jacob were sitting around the fire doing nothing. I was in such a panic. I didn't know how to deliver babies. I didn't know anything about babies.
I told Jacob to go and fetch Carlisle. He got pissed off at that. He said I had no authority over him, that I couldn't tell him what to do. I suggested that he should get over himself, that a member of his pack needed his help, and he could fetch Carlisle a lot quicker than I could.
He didn't like that.
When he transformed into wolf form, I knew it was time to leave and find someone else, but he wouldn't let me.
Paul stood there, doing nothing. I think he found the whole thing amusing.
I screamed at Jacob to let me go, but he wouldn't. He said it was time I learned that I didn't fit in their world. That was when he attacked me.
My screams brought other members of the pack out, but by the time that they had got there I was already a bloody mess.
I had nightmares for weeks after that.
Edward had been reluctant to ever leave my side again.
