next morning
…
Naomi stumbled into the small faded red house exhausted, her dark eyes barely open, her shoulders slumped with healing bruises on her shoulders, her chest. Her clothes were bettered, her movements proved how physically exhausted she truly was, how badly her hips ached from the previous battle with the female that attacked three civilians and killed Jared. Her feet were bare was caked with dirt, dry and wet, her hands all the way up to her elbows and her clothes covered in dry and wet dirt. Even though she stumbled the snoring filtering throughout the house loud and quiet she made it to the bathroom without waking anybody.
She curled into a ball under the cold water, the cold water didn't feel icy as it hit her skin. Adrenaline still pumping through her veins, still waiting to get the full okay to sleep, get the full okay to stay with her loved ones. Even for a short period of time, she sat curled in on herself for a few more minutes thinking about what happened in the very early morning hours. The female, what she brainstormed relentlessly on what she could be she always thought demon, was concluded to be a Ghoul as was her mate. Myths go back to all the way back After Christ, Arabian mythology, Greek, Italian, Russian, Indian mythologies. They produced a power that vampires could absorb, the Ghouls couldn't pierce the bloodsuckers stony flesh. The mates were getting cocky and ambitious with their actions.
Two more victims. Another couple, an older couple in the outskirts of La Push in one of the only occupied houses, it wasn't even a house anymore. They killed them, and set the house on fire. Edward Cullen couldn't read their thoughts, Alice Cullen see what was going to happen by their decisions. They were blind. They had to go by instincts.
The Cullen's were shorthanded with members deciding to back out against fighting Ghouls and siding with the enemy along with it. It was just Carlisle Cullen, Alice, Jasper and Edward, Naomi made it very clear Edward was to stay away from Bella for his sake because of Paul's imprint. Alliance or an temporary adjust to the treaty, Paul would lose his shit, he had already begun to fantasize mysteriously catching Edward anywhere near Bella; in multiple scenarios all resulting with Paul ripping Edward apart limb by limb. Edward got the hint, and he reassured he already told Bella he would stay clear from her life, he was here because Carlisle wanted him to be. The pack was allowed on Cullen territory when they needed to hunt, and well the terms were readjusted.
It was only a moment the pack heard Quil's voice, the spiral of his thoughts of the female intruding his home, Old Quil and his mother were safe. Two more victims when she lit the house on fire. Quil was the lone survivor of that attack, he tried his best helping the pack, Embry, Paul and Jacob were down and recovering at the Cullen's house.
A message.
A message that would only lead to more deaths, more destruction. More publicity. The only option was end this quickly, the Cullen's were here and they wanted to help. It would be worst to have more company of their kind from across seas, biggest company that would affect the tribe. The battle with the Ghouls always had to be strategic, they were strong, they were very strong. Simple slaps or punches left bruises that healed longer than hits from vampires. It concerned Carlisle the most, Ghoul were able to effect the werewolves more critically if they truly desired too, as Edward had explained briefly detailed to him of the previous battles. The bruise that was on Naomi's chest was from Sunday night, it was nearing Wednesday. The bruise should've been healed within a couple of minutes.
She watched the water go down the drain as she thought about it all, the very fear that made her spiral into a panic attack. She focused on the water to ease her nerves, she focused hard on the pressure, the way it beat against her scalp massaging the muscles. Focused hard on the chilliness of the liquid, for the first since January she felt her skin cool. It was only for a second but it worked.
She bathed, brushed her teeth, combed and braided her hair. Bella was sleeping in her bed when she walked in quietly, she grabbed clothes before heading back to the bathroom to get dressed. She checked every room. Billy was sleeping his room was warm, he breathing, snoring. Charlie snored with his mouth wide open. Sue reached out to her with her hand, Naomi took her hand squeezing it gently, Sue rubbed her thumb on the back of her hand.
"It's good to see your face…," Sue smiled groggily, "we heard you all last night. They came too close last night, huh?"
By the glance Naomi caught in Sue's eyes, she was scared and she was grateful to see her, it physically showed as she relaxed. If Sue was talking about the shrieking from the Ghouls, then yes, they got too close.
Naomi's pressed into a flat line with her brows furrowing, she relaxed herself with a deep breath, "too close." Sue's eyes fluttered as her grip loosened, she was succumbing to sleep, "it's okay, rest. Your safe."
Seth was sleeping on the couch cocooned in a blanket, she walked through the house one more time before grabbing a chair from the dining room table. She sat on the porch with the front door cracked, cracked wide enough so she could hear within the house. She found herself thinking about those dreams she has the previous week, why they decided to come up now? Why didn't they come up before? I'm over Paul, we've both imprinted. There's nothing there, like there has from the start. Nothing but lust.
With Seth, just thinking about Paul makes her feel like she's hurting him, and it was clear Paul gets on Seth's nerves. She breathed through her nose clearing her mind, she exhaled and crossing her legs, she looked down at the skirt of the dress she was wearing. It was the only clothes she had left expect for school clothes, this sun dress was shorter than it was when she first bought it. She played with the fabric as she looked up at the sky, the early morning sun was peaking through the dark clouds, she had a feeling the sun would be out today. She knew she had to rest or she'll pass out on patrol, she just needed to know her boys were okay, the chase and fight just ended two and half hours ago. She's only been home for 30 minutes.
"Hey, Alpha," Quil Ateara greeted walking up to her from her right side, "Jasper said we're clear for now."
"Hey, Quil," Naomi leaned back in the chair and slouched, "you don't have to call me that."
He shrugged, smirking, "Ehh, it fits. Everyone asleep?"
Naomi nodded, "Yeah. How are the boys?"
Quil shrugged again, he scratched the back of his head, "Their still not awake yet."
Naomi sighed tiredly, she rubbed her temples, "ugh, okay, once everyone wakes up. We'll head over to the Cullens."
He nodded; it went quiet between them for a few minutes before Quil spoke up.
"What would you do if Bella said she wanted to have sex with you and Paul? Would you do it?"
Naomi's face fell into mortification upon hearing the question, which was her answer.
Quil laughed so loud Naomi heard Seth fall off the couch inside, she wacked Quil in his kidney, "Don't you know inside voices?"
"We're outside." Quil defended, laughing.
"Your voice is like a train whistle, Quil." Naomi said with a deadpan facial expression walking into the house. "Go on patrol."
Naomi walked into the kitchen Seth walked up to her from the floor half-asleep, she wrapped her arms around him stepping into his embrace, Seth melted into her heat. Naomi ran her fingers through his hair, Seth inhaled her scent with his head on her shoulder, they stood holding her each other for a few minutes until Seth started to fall back to sleep. She put her hands on his face and kissed him sweetly making the younger boy to darken in the face and become bashful.
"You're adorable," Naomi murmured, giggling softly as Seth hugged her again with his face darkening with blush.
Having his arms around he couldn't help but think of how addicting it was, having her in his arms and being engulfed in her sweet scent. Rain as if feel from candy clouds and washed over her, her hair smelt like coconuts, and she looked so pretty in her sundress. She was stuck within the gravity of her imprint, being able to finally make sure he was okay lifted weights off her shoulders. Being within each other's presence everything felt okay, everything was the way it should be. His brain greeted Seth nightmares every time he closed his eyes, always being useless against their enemies, always watching never being able to move a muscle. Watching his loved ones being killed in front of him, forced to watch, he always woke up from the creature charged after him and Bella.
"How long did you sleep?" she inquired quietly, rubbing his back softly.
"Not long," he replied.
She led him into the living room and made a bed of blankets, laying down on the floor he immediately attached to her, they laid there. Naomi was falling asleep when he felt something growing on her hip, she blinked a few times as she heard Seth's heartbeat increase out of nervousness but she could smell his hormones going haywire. Was he going ask? Did he want that? Would he let the feeling pass and go to sleep? She didn't know and she wanted to know.
Seth didn't want to move, he felt stuck unsure of what to do. His body was reacting to her ways he knew were possible but didn't think they would come at a time like this. But he wanted to do something, he wanted to. He was more unsure of asking her about doing it, he couldn't believe he was even considering it. He's never done it before, the first girl he kissed was the girl under him currently, he didn't like feeling impure. But he wanted to be impure with her.
"Can we?" Seth whispered with all of the confidence he mustered up.
Seth heard her heart skip a beat under his ear, he liked that, she swallowed, "you want to?" she asked quietly.
He nodded his heart beat increasing and so did hers.
"Are you sure?" she asked quietly, "I don't think this is the right time."
Seth lifted his head up to at her, "I'm sure," he whispered with unknown confidence, "I want all of you, Naomi."
She gazed at him for a long moment, his confidence started to diminish with her silence. She inhaled through her nose, and then nodded, "okay," she whispered.
She pushed him onto his back as his heart began to pound within his chest, she straddled his hips and leaned down to his face, "if we don't want to be caught, you have to be quiet. I'm about to rock your world, young one. Let me do all of the work," she whispered quietly, he nodded gulping nervously as he watched her slide down his body.
Seth's eyes widened as his head fell back against the couch pillow feeling her hot mouth take his erection, his mouth opened and closed as she worked his body. His heart beating in his chest so hard he thought it was going to break through his ribcage, the pleasure he was experiencing he could've never imagined. She stopped all to quickly, he lifted his head feeling her move, she looked at him as she lifted the skirt of her dress positioning him near a place that sent his heartbeat into his ears. She was questioning him with her eyes, he registered the rain falling outside, he answered her with his eyes. She slid down his length, she inhaled deeply as a low growl rumbled in her throat as she reached his base, she began lifting herself up and down she heard him inhale sharply sensing what would happen next.
She stopped as he moaned softly, she listened. Nothing but rain and Seth beneath her.
She clamped her hand down on his mouth as he breathed heavily losing himself in the feeling of her liquid heat, so unbelievably soft, she felt inconceivably amazing on him. Seth remembered there were parents here and they were being naughty, he was being sneaky for the first time in his life and it was thrilling. She waited until he looked at her again to start moving, when he did, she began a slow pace making him feel all of her. He stayed still even though he struggled too, his hands found her waist as she brought their hips together tenderly. Naomi's head snapped to the sound of creaking floorboards as she was bringing them to a climax, she lifted up onto her feet and clamped her hand down on his mouth. Charlie was walking out of the twins room groggily to the bathroom, Naomi was looking over her shoulder bouncing on Seth, he didn't hear a single thing but the rain intensifying outside. Once she heard the bathroom door closed, she went back on her knees and quickened her pace, she mentally cursed herself hearing her lubrication as she moved quickly.
All Charlie had to do was take one look into the living room and he would see her looking at him with his girlfriends sons dick within her. All he had to do was take one look and they would be done for, but he didn't and that thought alone of being caught. Aroused her more.
Her pussy clenching around Seth as he began to harden signaling his end, his fingers tightened on her waist as she began to move her hips in a liquid motion speeding up their climaxes. She heard the bathroom door close, she leaned down slowing her pace knowing Charlie would hear her pussy. Charlie walked back into the twins room and collapsed onto the bed, he was snoring again in seconds, Naomi silently cursed and straightened back up without removing her hand. Her legs tingled, Seth's labored breathing was increasing in volume, she did what she had to do.
She squeezed herself around him as she increased her speed, she took his hand that reached out for her. Her wolf growled lowly as she took over, she sunk her teeth into his right bicep marking him, cleaning the blood that seeped from the open flesh. The wound closed with a simple lick of her tongue, feeling them begin to intertwine in ways that couldn't be put into words but wholeness. The sharp pricking pain he felt when her teeth pierced his flesh was gone when she licked the wound once closed. They locked eyes as he came undone, his own release triggered her own. She bit her bottom lip as she burst, she continued to move riding them through their highs. She fell into of him removing her hand from his mouth with her wolf falling back letting her have control again, they stayed like that gaining control over their breathing. It felt like millions of weights lifted from their bodies in one swoop, relaxing them to the point that they could sleep. Checking the blanket and sheet of evidence of their adventure, she threw them into the wash and grabbed a fresh set from the hall closet, the house was beginning to smell of sex.
Seth walked over of the bathroom and back into the living room to an open window and hint of air freshener, he looked at the blanket on the couch against the wall. A sheet on the couch under the window, he didn't question too much feeling heavy exhaustion weigh him done. He laid down on the couch and cocooning in the blanket, his eyes were half open when Naomi's face came into view. He recognized the mischievous smirk on her face.
"Does this make us girlfriend and girlfriend? I think the parents would be ecstatic," She grinned widely at him.
He chuckled groggily, warmth spreading throughout his chest, "how about boyfriend and girlfriend?"
She rolled her eyes playfully, "I guess that works," she covered her mouth yawning belly deep.
Seth chuckled sleepily again, shifting onto his left side as she walked over to the other couch and laid down. His mind having only one question, "was I any good?" She only heard him because of her heightening hearing.
She also turned onto her left side, she sighed groggily getting comfortable, "You were good… get some sleep."
With that, they were both asleep.
Naomi didn't dream about Paul like that night Seth kissed her, she dreamt about Seth. She dreamt about looking down at pregnant stomach, her hands caressing her bump lovingly, she woke recognizing Seth's hand softly touching her stomach. She blinked several times looking around groggily confused, she jumped at the scent of a vampire wafting through the open window.
She locked eyes with Edward Cullen, he smiled at her shortly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Just wanted to tell you we're in the clear for now. Alice's visions have thinned out. Carlisle hasn't called with news on the others yet. You're free to continue resting."
She nodded before sinking back down into the couch and falling asleep.
…
She woke up around dinnertime to the smell of fresh tomato sauce and chicken, Sue and Charlie were wrapped up in each other as she stood at the stove giggling and soaking in his attention. She glanced over to her left rubbing her eyes and yawning, she turned to the open window, she went to close when a scent filtered in making her growl loudly within her. She closed the window looking around the backyard, nothing but that scent was right here, she slipped off the couch signaling to her father for silence. Charlie caught her movement and went quiet, Sue looked up confused, they all looked at each other looking at Naomi as she listened breaking through her nose.
Time passed on and she heard nothing, she walked back over to the window and opened it, fresh icy air blew through the window. She caught the scent of a vampire she memorized to tell the difference between allies and enemies. She relaxed when she seen Edward step out of the forest to signal that they were clear before slipping back into the forest. She sat back down on the couch with her eyebrows furrowed a low rumble of her chest, something was up, something was going on. Her mind flashed images of her pack behind her eyes, her worry grew like a knot in her stomach.
"Hey, you okay?" Seth sat down next to her.
She glanced over at him, her mind replayed memories of the living room floor early this morning, she nodded, "yeah, false alarm."
The front door opened with a hoot from Quil, everyone looked over to see Quil walking in closing the door grinning.
"Quil?" Sue asked in disbelief noticing the change in him like the other boys and Naomi.
"Hi, Sue," he greeted.
"Hey, Quil, what's up?" Naomi asked standing up from the couch walking over to the fridge to grab a water bottle.
"Starving, Mi. Alice said we look like we're clear for a while, she can't see no burning houses or news reports. Can I have one?" Quil asks, she hands him a water bottle.
"There's more than enough for all of us," Sue says stirring a pot of boiling water with pasta noodles. "Where's Jacob? Embry and Paul?"
Naomi turned to Quil about to speak when the front door opened with Jacob ducking his head down over the threshold. Embry and Paul followed in after him.
"Oh thank God!" Naomi sighs in relief.
"Oof!" Jacob grunted looking down at Naomi hugging him.
"Hi, Bells," Paul greets as she throws her arms around him.
Naomi pushes Jacob away as she hugs Embry who cackled at Jacobs face, Embry inhaled through his nose and then held Naomi at arms length looking at her.
"What?" She questioned as her pack looked at her, silence fell over the room as each pack member leaned closer to her and sniffed the air around her.
Paul blinked a few times, "no fucking way."
Jacob started cackling loudly and doubling over, and then it clicked in her head as Seth walked up to the group when Paul went to speak, she locked in a head lock and dragged him outside. Seth looked up at Quil in confusion as Quil smiled widely at him with knowing eyes, Seth and Bella stepped back as Embry also got Quil in a headlock.
"Not a fucking word," She presses as she lets Paul go in the middle of the driveway.
"You didn't," Jacob presses.
She glared at him, Embry and Quil laughed, Quil spoke up, "I knew there was something different."
She pointed a finger at him, "shut the fuck up."
"Hi, Clearwater," Paul greeted as Seth stepped off the porch, "I believe we have a discussion due."
"Is now the time for that?" Jacob asked as they all looked over to Paul and Seth walking up to each other.
"Better now then later," Seth replied.
Paul grinned, " Ah! You've been waiting for this huh? What? You think your hot shit now?"
"Boys," Charlie called walking onto the porch with Billy following after him, "what's the meaning of this?"
"Naomi," her father called giving her a stern look.
Paul stepped within Seth's personal space making the boy tremble head to toe, Jacob stepped closer to Naomi.
"I got this." Naomi said reassuringly to the house filling out into the porch, Naomi mouthed I'm sorry to Bella when she glanced her way.
"What's wrong Seth?" Paul asked quietly, "jealous I got the alpha first?" He asks more quietly, "she's good, isn't she?"
"Seth!" Sue cried when the younger boy threw a solid punch into Paul's jaw.
Paul stumbled back recovering from Seth's blow, his limbs beginning to tremble, Seth was trembling to the point you could see his wolf behind his eyes. The boys locked eyes for a short moment as they rain poured down, the next moment they both exploded, massive wolves unfolding from their bodies. They both growled and snarled at each other, Seth's fur puffed up along his body, Paul lowered his dark silver head snarling at Seth's sandy wolf. Quil and Embry stood near the porch as the two wolves came together tearing at each other, the sounds of their snapping jaws and snarls made Bella cover her ears.
"Jacob!" Naomi yelled as she ran after the two wolves, phasing and knocking into the boys.
She made them scramble backwards, Jacob phased in as Paul went to launch at Seth and knocked him into the tree line across the street. Seth followed after Jacob and Paul, Naomi followed after him and the four disappeared into the woods.
"Holy shit," Charlie breathed staring at the tree line, "I just watched them turn to giant dogs."
"Welcome to the shit show," Embry smiled at him.
"What was that about?" Sue demanded, "I thought you said he wouldn't phase," Sue looked down at Billy.
"Seth is the mate to our alpha, it was bound to happen," Quil replied jogging over to the shredding clothes all over the driveway.
"I hope Seth rips him a new one," Embry said following his childhood friend.
"Doubt that," Quil replies, "Seth's new. Bet ten bucks Paul gets his teeth in him."
"You're new too. My money's on Seth."
"Be prepared to be broke," Quil grinned picking up a shred of Naomi's dress, "Naomi's in dire need of a new wardrobe."
"I thought that'd be more intense, y'know? A huge battle for the alpha's heart."
Quil cackled loudly, "Seth already won that, obviously."
Bella looks at the parents as they filled back into the house conversing amongst themselves, she looked over Quil and Embry in the driveway to the treeline. Her brows furrowed feeling eyes on her, she walked back into the house, Edward stepped forward but stopped watching Bella walk back into the house. He wished more than ever to be able to hear her mind, her scent alone calmed him, he felt stupid for leaving her but she was promised to someone else and he couldn't compete with that.
…
Naomi walked out of her bedroom covered in a another dress, she had one left until she had to go into her school clothes. Getting the two boys to relax seemed easier said than done, Paul tormented Seth with sexual memories with Naomi, she had put out an alpha order for him to quit it. Jacob and Naomi stayed around as she made Seth and Paul talk it out and come to an agreement, it wasn't long before the two began to bond after a long argument once Seth imprinted on Naomi. Seth, Jacob and Paul walked through the front door in fresh pairs of cut off jeans, there were no marks on anyone of them.
"Ugh!" Quil threw his head back dramatically noticing this.
"Oh man!" Embry dropped his head into his hand.
Naomi watched Bella walk up to Paul with a scowl on her face, his face fell and then he doubled over when she punched in his stomach. Not a single muscle in his body quivered, Seth, Naomi and Jacob looked at her in surprise.
"Bells!" Naomi and Charlie called as Naomi pulled Bella away from Paul.
"I deserved that."
"You know you did," Bella stepped away from him.
Naomi, Jacob, Quil, and Embry started oohing before laughing, Seth was pulled into a hug from his mother who then pinched him in a pressure point.
"Ow!" Seth yelped and jumped away from her, rubbing where she pinched him.
"I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself but I taught you better than that," Sue scolded.
The ohs turned on Seth as he shrunk away.
"Burn, dude," Paul snorted, Naomi whacked him upside his head.
"I'm sorry," Seth replied sheepish.
"Ow! What was that for? Wait until she finds out you fucked her son in the living room. Good thing you don't get your period, you'd be fucked."
"What?!" Billy and Sue's eyes were more deadly than their tones of voices.
Naomi stared at Paul with wide eyes ludicrously, the pack turned to him with mouths agape. Jacob was the one who slapped Paul upside his head.
"Idiot! You weren't supposed to say anything!" Jacob exclaimed in disbelief.
Sue took one step and Seth was flying down the hallway to the back door, Naomi punched Paul in throat.
"Naomi Vivian Black," Sue and Billy snarled.
Bella looked down at Quil who met her eyes, both saying the same thing with their eyes as Embry sat at the kitchen table like a deer in headlights. Bella and Quil leaned towards Naomi.
"This is where you run." They both said, the pack was flying out the front door right after Naomi.
"Isabella Marie!" Charlie's face reddened, "you know about this?"
Bella blanched, she scurried to the front door where Paul scooped her off her feet as she squealed in surprise. He ran after the others with Charlie and Sue yelling their names on the porch. Seth came running around from the right side of the house and followed Paul and Bella into the tree line, they all continued running further into the forest. The previous event fading away as they ran for several more minutes, the atmosphere was light and calm. Paul slowed down and placed Bella on the ground, the sky was still above but the earth was loose under her boots. Bella was confused until she heard multiple transformations and wolves popping out of the cover of the forest, she giggled softly as they began to play fight. Naomi stood tall overlooking them with a wolf grin plastered on her copper red face, her tail wagged as she caught Bella looking at her.
Naomi trotted over to her as Paul phased behind cover, her dressed wrapped around her ankle with a leather cord, Naomi lowered down for Bella to mount onto her back. Bella smiled widely and climbed onto Naomi, Paul came trotting out of the cover. Bella grabbed fist full's of Naomi's fur as she lifted back up and began trotting in the direction they were heading, Bella felt a rush of adrenaline course through her veins as Naomi started running again. This gave Bella déjà vu as this feeling of absolute flight, she laughed in delight as Naomi jumped over two fallen trees. Naomi's chest rumbled with a canine chuckle hearing her laugh.
The moment was soaked in, it could be one of the few moments they all had just like this. They would enjoy this right now while the parents fretted over the information Paul spilled, they would deal with that later. Naomi slowed down smelling an allied vampire around, the pack weren't so happy to smell it, ally or not the scent was still irritatingly revolting.
Bella's eyes widened as her eye found a familiar face. She soaked in his presence, his features, she wanted nothing more than to speak with him. She knew she was still in love with him, she knew that she made the right decision on being friends with Paul. She became conflicted when he didn't meet her eyes, she wanted so badly for him to look at her, she wanted to see the liquid topaz of his irises. He met her eyes, her heartbeat stuttered within her chest, a low growl rumbled in a dark silver wolfs chest.
Three loud howls of wolves in different directions and different volumes rang throughout the sky.
A dark grey timber colored female wolf chasing after Alice Cullen near the center of the reservation, a grey massive wolf chasing after Jasper near the cliffs. A massive black wolf came flying out of the cover of trees launching in Edwards direction, Naomi's snarled launching after the black wolf.
