Your heart was in your throat as Bella came storming into the Black's home. You leapt up from your seat on the couch as she stormed through the living room. Your eyes darted over to Billy who was turning around in his wheelchair.
"Who-" you started but were silenced with a shake of the man's head. You frowned but stood up to follow her into the back room.
"Is everything okay?" You offered and the girl whipped around to you.
"Who are you? Why are you here? What's been going on with Jake?" She fired the questions at you so quickly that you had to pause and think each one over.
"Uh, I'm y/n. I'm here to help Billy and Jake. He's been dealing with some stressful changes and Billy can only do so much." You responded carefully, your brows furrowing as you took her in.
"It's Bella, right? How about we talk in the living room? Let Jacob sleep?" She seemed to consider the offer, her eyes drifting back over to Jake.
"He'll be fine. We'll only he a shout away." You assured and she sighed.
"I've just been so worried." She admitted and you nodded, grasping her arm and leading her out of the room.
"I understand. I felt, no I feel that way, with Paul." You smiled and she turned to face you.
"Who's-" she started and you grinned.
"He's my boyfriend. You and Jake, are you close?" You asked guiding the conversation to a safer topic.
"Uhm yeah. Well no. I don't know. I thought we were, but then he had his whole disappearing act and now I'm not sure." She worried her lip and you nodded.
"I get it. Well, maybe I don't. Every relationship is different." You shrugged as you plopped down onto the couch.
Her brows seemed to furrow together as she tried to figure you out. You let her. There was nothing extraordinary about you, unless you counted your werewolf boyfriend.
"You can ask your questions, Bella. I don't bite." But my boyfriend does.
You chuckled when the thought entered your head, but sobered yourself up quickly.
"Sorry. It's just I don't remember ever seeing you, or you being mentioned. I feel like I should've known about you." She frowned and you smiled.
"Maybe. I go to school with you, but really I wouldn't expect you to notice me. I'm not that popular compared to the Cullen's and Hales." You grinned but her frown only deepened.
"Sorry. Touchy subject." You bit your lip before pushing yourself up.
"How about we check up on Jake one last time and then go out for ice cream or something? My treat." You gave her a soft smile and she nodded making her way back to Jacob's room.
You went to follow her but let out a grunt when she pushed past you and out the back door. You stumbled at first but quickly righted yourself. Looking out the window you gasped when you realized what was happening.
"Bella?!" You called racing after her as she raced up to your boyfriend and his pack.
"Bella!" You called again a little more forcefully but she ignored you, pushing Sam.
"What did you do? What did you do?! What did you do to him?" She demanded and you tried to pull her back.
Paul jumped forward to defend his alpha, but Sam was quick to put him down.
"Bella. Calm down." You tried as you grabbed her arm, but she only yanked it back.
"He didn't want this!" She insisted and you frowned.
"What did we do?" Paul snarled and you shot him a look.
"What did he do? What did he tell you?" He continued as Sam tried to intercept. He tried to calm them both down but neither one was ready to do that.
"Nothing!" Bella raged desperately, "he's told me nothing because he's scared of you!" She told them and you glanced between her and the pack.
"Bella what about we-" you started but winced as the boys started to laugh.
"Bella...." Your voice was soft, desperate.
Then she smacked Paul. You jumped forward immediately, pulling her away from him. You heard one of the boys make a comment but you only heard Sam's voice.
"Y/n, Bella, get back!" He demanded and your arms wrapped around Bella tightly as you pulled her back throwing her behind you.
"Paul calm down now." You heard Sam demand, but you knew it wouldn't work. You watched as he shifted, slowly backing up with Bella as your boyfriend stalked towards the two of you.
"Paul, you need to back up. You can't hurt Bella." You snapped and the wolf growled at you.
"Bella. Run, now." You snapped and she didn't hesitate. She turned around and began running for the house.
You could hear Bella screaming to run, and you heard Jacob yell for her, but your heart was pounding in your ears.
You flinched when you heard Jacob shift, and land on the soft ground behind you. You slowly turned, breathing heavily as you watched him snarl and growl.
"Y/n move!" You heard Sam command but you were frozen. If you moved would Jacob hurt Paul? Could he get to Paul without hurting you? Would he risk the law? You didn't have time to think about it as Sam tackled you to the side.
You landed on your back hard, the air coming out in a wheeze. However, you were quick to get back on your feet when you heard the wolves growl and bite at each other. You watched in horror as they fought, your heart breaking when Paul whimpered.
"Stop them!" You cried as you tried to push past Sam who was checking your head.
"Y/n you're bleeding. I need you to calm down." He coerced pulling your eyes to him and away from Paul and Jacob.
"But-" you tried, even though Sam was already giving orders.
"Take Bella and y/n back to Emily's place." He said before going after Paul and Jacob. Jared was quick to come over and hoist you up as Embry helped Bella to her feet.
"Paul..." You whispered before reaching for the back of your head.
"Ouch." You hissed as you pulled your hand back and blood coated your finger tips.
"Damn, that's not good." Jared winced and you glanced up at him.
"No, really? Y'know the dizziness probably isn't great either." You snarked wiping the blood off on your jeans.
"Truck. Now." You demanded and Bella nodded as she raced back to her vehicle.
You and the boys followed, Embry taking the driver's seat as you slid in next to him, in-between him and Bella. Jared hopped into the bed of the truck, and if your head wasn't pounding you would have laughed.
When Embry pulled up into the driveway, you leaned over to get out, trying not to puke. Both boys let out a whoop and you winced. Embry apologized before holding out his hand offering to help you out. You grasped it, hopping out, before thanking him. He nodded as you began to walk toward the house.
"Hey, I think we should go back and see if Jacob's okay." Bella called as she rolled down her window, and you whipped around so fast your head spun.
"And I think that he better come back with my boyfriend in one piece. Get your ass out of the car Bella." You snapped and she frowned.
"I hope Paul sinks some teeth in him. Serves him right." Jared grinned and you nodded.
"No way. Jacob's a natural. You see him phase on the fly." Embry argued and you shot him a glare.
"All I'm saying is I got 5 that says Paul doesn't touch him." He grinned and you pushed him lightly. He laughed before turning to the truck.
"Come on in, Bella. We won't bite." He invited and you rolled your eyes.
"Speak for yourself." You and Jared spoke at the same time before smirking at each other.
You followed him into the house hoping for some ice for your head. You vaguely heard Bella's truck door open before you found Emily.
"Hey, Emily. Do you have any ice?" You smiled and she rose a brow.
"Roughhousing with the boys again?" She smiled and you shrugged.
"What can I say. I can't help myself." You smiled and she nodded.
"Okay ice is in the freezer. I'll check your head myself once everyone is back." She told you and you nodded.
Walking over to the freezer you pulled out a few icecubes and shoved them into a baggy. As you turned you smiled as Emily started grabbing the snacks.
"Now are you guys hungry? Like I have to ask." Emily teased and you let out a snort.
Then Bella walked in as you turned around putting the ice to the back of your head. Emily seemed caught off guard but caught herself quickly.
"Who's this?" She asked and the boys were quick to answer.
"Bella Swan. Who else?" Jared joked and you rolled your eyes.
"Hmm," Emily considered her, "so you're the vampire girl?" She smiled and you laughed as you took a seat at the table.
"So you're the wolf girl?" Bella tried to retort and you smirked.
"Guess so. Well I'm engaged to one." Emily replied as she set the muffins down. You were quick to grab your muffin first for the fear that the boys would wolf them down, pun intended.
Then just as you thought, both boys dove in resulting in Emily lecturing them and offering a muffin to Bella, who stood awkwardly in the doorway.
"Uh sure. Thanks." Bella replied as she walked over to the table, grabbing one.
"Leave it to Jacob to find a way around Sam's gag order." Emily laughed and you grinned.
"Kinky." You murmured and Jared choked on his muffin. Bella frowned at you before responding.
"Uhm, he didn't say anything to me."
"That's a wolf thing. Alphas orders get obeyed whether we want them to or not." Embry explained and you rolled your eyes. "Oh and check it out. We can hear each other's thoughts."
"Only when you wolf out though." You argued and Jared groaned.
"Would you two shut up!? These are trade secrets. Damn it!" He complained before gesturing at Bella with a muffin. "This chick runs with vampires!"
Bella glanced down before looking back at your small group.
"You can't really run with vampires." She smiled, "cause they're fast."
Emily giggled and you rolled your eyes.
"Well Bells," you started but were interrupted by Jared.
"We're faster. Freaked out yet?" He snarked and you threw a piece of muffin at him.
"She hangs with vampires jar-head. I don't think big fluffy dogs are going to freak her out." You teased and he huffed.
"You're not the first monsters I've met." Bella said anyway and you glared. Opening your mouth you went to snap a reply but then Sam came in.
"Jake's right. You're good with weird." He teased and you glanced back to him.
"Paul?" You asked and he nodded toward the door before going over to Emily and kissing her over and over.
Getting up you started for the door when Paul and Jake started up the porch. Upon seeing your boyfriend you raced to him and jumped into his arms.
"Paul you hot head! Do you know how fucking worried I was!?" You complained and he laughed as he hoisted you up a little more.
"Sorry babe. We're all good now though." He apologized and you sighed.
He carried you back to the tables before sitting down with you in his lap. Happily you curled into him as he turned around and apologized to Bella.
She didn't reply, instead she excused herself and followed Jake to wherever they were going to talk.
When they left Emily came over to you and started to poke and prod at your skull. You hissed a few times and Paul frowned.
"What's up? Is she okay?" He asked and Emily nodded.
"Yeah. Probably just a concussion. She'll have a headache but she'll live." You groaned and Paul ran his hand up and down your back.
"I'm sorry babe. I didn't realize how close you were." He apologized and you shook your head.
"Not your fault. Just clumsy." You yawned and he laughed.
"Whatever you say, princess." He soothed and you nodded. Carefully he reached across the table and grabbed a muffin for himself before conversing with his brothers.
You must've fallen asleep because when you woke up it was to the sound of Paul calling your name. Groaning you rolled over in his arms.
"Mhm. What's up?" You hummed and he laughed.
"I have to take you home, hon." He replied kissing your forehead.
"Oh. Okay." You nodded and he shook with laughter. Sitting up with you in his arms he hoisted you up.
"Guys we're heading out." He called and everyone said their goodbyes. You waved tiredly before falling asleep in his arms again.
Once you got home Paul carried you inside and up into your room. You moaned softly when he set you down into your bed. Laughing he started to tuck you in when you grabbed ahold of his arm.
"Stay." You mumbled and he smiled softly.
"Baby I- alright fine." He sighed as he crawled in next to you. Grinning you snuggled into him.
His hand moved to the back of your head and began to move through your hair gently. You hummed in content as he played with it and ran his hands over your arm and back.
"I love you." You sighed and you felt him chuckle before he replied.
"I love you too." His voice rumbled through his chest and you smiled.
After moving in with your aunt temporarily, you find it difficult to be happy about the situation. Oftentimes you'd go to your cousin, Sam's, house. When there you end up getting more than you bargained for, but maybe it's what you need.
Games
Shoving your food around on your plate you looked up at the woman sitting in front of you. Your aunt apparently. Glaring at her you stabbed into a chunk of food stuffing it in your mouth.
"So...," She started her voice unsure, "your mom is going to Paris?" Great conversation starter. Your mom running off with her rich boyfriend.
"Yeah. With Ron. Stupid fucking-" you grumbled your voice lowering to nothing.
"Well you're welcome here. You know that." She smiled tightly and you glanced away glaring at the wall.
"I know." You huffed before dropping your fork onto the plate. "I'm going to Sam's."
As you stood up your chair scraped loudly across the floor. Picking your plate up you walked into the kitchen and dropped the dirty dishes into the sink. You sighed as they clattered noisily. You heard your aunt let out a heavy breath before she called out.
"Y/n I know you don't want to be here but please try to be understanding." She tried, her voice faltering.
Sighing you rinsed the dishes and then grasped ahold of the sink. She may not have been your favorite person right now, but she took you in with no hesitation. Heaving a sigh you pushed yourself off the sink and walked back into the dining room.
"I'm sorry aunt Ally. I'm just, I don't like being dropped off like extra luggage." You explained, walking back over to the table and pushing your chair back in.
"I know sweetheart. Just," she paused, "tell Sam and Emily I said hi." She smiled pushing away from the table herself. You watched as she stood and made her way over to you.
"Have fun and be safe." She cautioned, pulling you into her arms.
You nodded, letting yourself hug her back.
"Sure thing." You murmured as you slowly pulled away.
Smiling sadly she waved you on and you gave her a small grin. Grabbing your bag from your temporary room you dashed to the front door.
"See you later!" You called snatching your jacket off of the coat rack as you stepped out onto the porch.
You noted the rainy weather and shook your head. It was Forks after all. Pulling out your car keys, you clicked the button to unlock your vehicle.
Yanking on the door handle the door opened with a squeak. You frowned but slid into the seat, starting the car and clicking your seat belt in place.
Rearranging the mirrors and seat you placed your hands on the steering wheel, letting out a sigh as you threw your head back. You let yourself enjoy the silence for a moment before you opened your eyes. Shifting the car into reverse, you pulled out of the driveway, before shifting back into drive. The ride was relatively quick as you drove to La push.
It took maybe 20 minutes before you pulled into the driveway. Putting the car in park you turned the vehicle off, hopping out onto the driveway.
The house was small and welcoming as you walked up to the porch. You raised your hand to knock but jumped when the door swung open and a boy rammed into you.
"Oomf." You huffed as you fell backwards off the porch and onto the ground. The boy didn't seem to notice or care as he hopped over you and ran into the woods.
"Rude." You grumbled pushing yourself back up. Brushing yourself off you walked back up to the house and knocked on the wall.
"Hello? Sam?" You called.
Emily walked around a corner and smiled when she saw you.
"Y/n! It's so good to see you. It's been too long." She huffed dramatically as she dried her hands off.
"I was here yesterday Em." You giggled as you entered the kitchen, immediately grabbing a cookie off of the plate on the table.
"I know but with all these boys around it feels like forever!" She smiled grabbing a cookie for herself.
"Right. Speaking of boys.... Who just ran out of here?" You inquired taking a bite of your cookie.
"Depends. Probably Paul though." She sighed as she glanced at the door.
"Maybe. First guy I've met since coming back other than Sam though." You smirked biting into the cookie again.
"It's probably best you don't meet the others." She sighed turning to the oven. Pulling on an oven mitt she pulled out a fresh batch of Chocolate chip cookies.
"Oh my gosh Em! Those look so good!" You moaned making grabby hands at the warm cookies.
"You can eat as many as you'd like once they've cooled down!" She laughed placing the cookies on a cooling rack.
"Fine." You grumbled sliding off of the stool.
"Where is Sam anyway?" You asked as you began to clear off the counters and put the dishes away.
"Out with the guys. Keeping them out of trouble I hope." She sighed thanking you as she began to wash the dishes in the sink.
You continued to help Emily with the chores and jumped when the front door slammed open.
"Em- oh my god are those cookies!" You heard multiple boys 'ooh' and 'aah' at the snacks and laughed.
"Em make sure they save some for me would you!?" You called as you switched the laundry in another room.
"Sure thing!" She hollered back and you could hear as she smacked someone's hands. Starting the laundry up again you skipped back into the kitchen.
"Cookies?" You asked and cheered when Emily handed you a plate.
"Thanks." You grinned taking a bite out of one.
"Wait wait wait why does she get an entire plate!?" One of the boys whined and you turned to face them. They were all super tall and that made you a little anxious.
"Because Quil, she helped me with the chores." Emily grinned as Sam wrapped his arms around her waist. The man turned to face you and smiled.
"Thanks for keeping her company and helping out." He smiled and ruffled your hair. You smiled at him and shook your head.
"Anything for her." You smiled kissing Emily on the cheek.
"After all she is my favorite." You laughed.
The male smiled at you before playfully lunging.
"Aaah whatever will I do!?" You jabbed and screamed as you ran out of the house. Sam chased you out in the game of tag and you shrieked as you jumped off of the porch.
"Have mercy!" You pled as you scrambled around the yard. Jumping over a log you squeaked when you ran into a person.
"Oh my god!" You yelped when Sam crashed into you and the guy you bumped into. You groaned but laughed as Sam rolled off of you. Pushing yourself up you smiled at the person underneath you.
"Are you alright?" You asked crawling off of him. He seemed stunned but smiled turning to face you.
"Yeah I'm good." He laughed.
Giggling you got up brushing yourself off.
"Sorry about that. Sam was trying to kill me because his fiance loves me more." You smirked sticking your tongue out at the male behind you.
"Need a hand?" You asked holding your hand out to him.
"Uh sure." He smiled nervously taking your hand in his.
You jumped at how hot his hand was. And how heavy. You yanked him up and lost your footing when he was off the ground.
Squeaking your arms wheeled as you tried to rebalance.
"Sam!" You shrieked and the man snickered as you fell back.
"Crap!" You heard the boy yelp as he grabbed your arm and pulled you into his chest.
"My bad." He chuckled. Smiling you pressed your hands to his shirtless chest.
"Thanks for saving me." You grumbled glaring at Sam.
The man smirked at you raising his hands in mock surrender.
"You tried to steal my fiance. Again." He snickered. "You had it coming."
You rolled your eyes before glancing up at the male with his arms now wrapped around your waist.
"I don't believe we've met. I'm y/n. You are?"
"Anything you want me to be." He whispered dreamily his eyes locked on yours. Your eyes widened and you mouth opened forming and 'O'.
"Embry. Stop being a creep!"
Jumping you turned when you heard a loud shout from the porch. Your eyes trained on the guy who'd pushed you earlier, Paul, smirking. Your eyes narrowed and you flipped him off.
"Easy there wolf bait. I might bite!" He laughed loudly and you huffed.
"Okay so you're Embry?" You asked facing the boy who held you, placing your hands on his forearms.
"Yeah. Embry Call." He nodded.
"Okay Call. Care to explain why you're looking at me like you're about to get on your knees and kiss my feet?" You smiled jokingly. Then quite literally the boy got on his knees in front of you.
"Oh my god! No! Stop that! Get up! Get up!" You panicked, flustered, hitting him on his shoulders. You could hear Sam cracking up behind you and whipped around to glare at him.
"Sam! Make him get up!" You shrieked. Sam curled over in laughter as you flushed.
"Embry! Can we talk about this? Get up!" You urged grabbing his arms and yanking. The boy glanced at you before standing up and holding your hand.
"Sorry. Too much?" He asked and you flushed.
"Just a bit." You agreed brushing some leaves out of his hair.
"Care to explain what this is all about or..." The silence spoke for itself.
"Maybe once we're inside? Sam and Emily can help me explain so I don't sound too stupid. Or look more stupid." He blushed under his russet skin.
You placed your hands on your hips and nodded.
"Alright let's do that." You agreed with a smile.
About an hour later you were sitting in the living room of your cousins house, your brain scrambling to take in all the new information. Your hand was in Embry's despite everyone telling you you didn't have to be in love with him. Glancing up you made eye contact with Sam.
"So you and Emily?" You hinted and the man nodded.
"And me and Embry?" You continued. Again the man nodded. With a sigh you faced Embry who was staring at your interlocked fingers.
"What do you think of all this?" You asked stroking your thumb over his knuckles. He jumped before looking up to you.
"I, uh,-" he stumbled over his words and you laughed.
"Whatever you have to say, Sam won't kill you for it." You assured and the boy relaxed slightly.
"I think you're really cute, and I think that I want you to be mine. Not that you have to be it's just you're so... Wow." He breathed as he stared into your eyes and you smirked as you rose a brow.
"That so?" You teased and he flushed.
You rolled your eyes before turning to Emily and Sam.
"So you boys turn into wolves? Because my new school has vampires? And you can get a soulmate thing out of that?" You asked trying to summarize.
"Plus the healing factors and being hot all the time." Embry added and you smirked.
"Em I thin- wait!" You whined slapping your forehead as you realized that Emily and Embry would have the same nickname.
Emily laughed as you flopped back into the couch and Embry stared in confusion.
"Sam. I don't think you have to worry about me stealing your fiance anymore." You sighed as you slid into Embry's shoulder.
Sam chuckled before pulling Emily close to him, kissing her forehead.
"I'm okay with that." He admitted and you groaned.
"Emilyyy! My love! Our union has been forbidden but I will always love you!" You exclaimed as you let yourself fall into Embry's lap dramatically.
The boy jumped before running his fingers through your hair. You hummed happily lifting a finger.
"On second thought I think I'm okay. I still get Emily on Fridays and Tuesdays though, okay?" You bargained and heard the group laugh.
"You'll have Emily every day when me and your puppy are out." Sam reminded and you gasped.
"You're right! That's great news." You grinned before opening your eyes and looking up to Embry.
"So you wanna try being boyfriend girlfriend, soon to be genderbent Emily and Sam?" You asked and the boy smiled.
"I'm okay with that." He nodded and you shot him a couple finger guns.
"Great. So Sam that means lay off on my man or I'll steal Emily!" You warned and the man huffed.
"Y/n you already do that." He reminded and you rolled your eyes.
"Yeah whatever you say. For now I'm ignoring you because Embry is amazing and way prettier than you." You teased and grinned when Embry blushed.
