AN: Last chapter, but I am no where far from over. Our two lovers have announced their feelings, but when I said their journey isn't far from over, trust me. It's not.

Chapter 10: Only You

Paul POV

My wolf was getting antsy as the search for our mate wasn't letting up. I pawed at the ground in frustration. My ear twitched as I heard a scream in the distance. I took off and the closer I got, the more I heard the waves. What the hell was she doing up here? The wind picked up and it was raining heavily now. The dirt and rocks were slipping with mud falling off the high cliff and with it was Bella.


Bella POV

I was trying to get back to the trees when the water slid down making the rocks slippery. I lost my footing, slipping on the mud and I tried grasping onto anything. I was slowly sliding down and within seconds I would be over that cliff. I screamed more saddened by the thought that I would never see Paul again. I was being stupid, I knew that but seeing the way he looked at her scared me. He imprinted, and he could leave me. I knew that in my thinking I was being irrational and the woman was right. He was mine forever and this was her warning. God. I knew without a doubt the he probably came looking for me. I could feel him. So, I yelled his name. If I died, it would be the last thing I said. I screamed as I went over the cliff and I closed my eyes feeling the wind rush around me. Warmth suddenly cascaded around me and then I was infused with cold.

I screamed once again as the waves pushed heavily against me. I opened my eyes to see Paul looking around searching for shore. I could barely make out anything as the waves and fog clouded my vision. The water tugged and pulled, but his grip never faltered. Water entered my mouth and I sputtered violently trying not to choke. I held onto Paul as he swam through the water. "Just hang on!" He yelled looking back at me and I caught a glimpse of his yellow eyes. Oh was I in deep trouble. I did as told though and soon we found shore. I laid on the sand gasping for breath and before I could blink, Paul's face was above my own. His eyes scanned me over and his eyes were icy. He lifted me up and carried me through the sand, not saying anything. My teeth were chattering and I could barely keep my eyes open. It was okay though, because I knew I was where I was meant to be, and no imprinting or wolf magic could take it away.


Paul POV

"Go easy on her." Sam said and I growled at him. "I'm not going to tear into her. I'm pissed, the wolf is pissed. What the hell was she thinking?" I snapped. I was not in a great frame of mind at the moment. My mate almost died and now she's in the hospital because I couldn't get her to warm up no matter what I did. Sam shrugged. "She's been through a lot. I know it wasn't her intention. You got there in time." His hand patted my shoulder. I groaned and sat down in the waiting area with him. "What if I was seconds late?" The images that popped in my head made me shudder. "But you weren't. The nurse is coming." I looked up and the man smiled. "You can come see her now. She's stable. She'll be fine. A few antibiotics for a month and she'll be a-okay. Come this way." Sam and I stood and he patted my back. "Call me tomorrow if she's up for visitors. Emily would like to bring her something." I nodded and followed the nurse down the hall. I walked inside the room and it was scary to see her here. She was so small. "I'll leave you. Nice contacts by the way." I muttered a response but sat in the chair next to the bed. I couldn't sleep. I wouldn't.


Bella POV

Slow beeping woke me up and I groaned. I lifted my hand to block the sun as the smell of sterilization reached my nose. I opened my eyes slowly and looked around. The room was empty and I could hear the beeping intensify. Did he bring me here and then leave? I could hear myself breathing hard as my vision blurred. Was this what hyperventilating felt like? Or was this heartbreak?


Paul POV

I watched the time tick away. I couldn't stay in her room all night and for that I was already a mess. I looked at the time and I cursed. Five minutes. I leaned over as this pain in my chest suddenly appeared. It was heartbreaking. I stood suddenly and stalked down the hall. "Sir! Visiting hours start in five minutes!" I kept going. "Fuck your five minutes!" I followed the signs and smelt the air, following my hours old scent. With more force than intended, I pushed the door open and it swung against the wall. My eyes took in the room spotting for any danger and then landed on Bella when I found none. Her face was red and her eyes were glassy as tears ran down her cheeks. I walked forward wiping them away. "Why are you crying"? I asked and kissed her forehead. She broke into sobs and my anger melted away.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry! I- I thought you left me here. You were mad and I-" She couldn't finish her sentence and her words melded together as she cried and hiccuped. She really thought I was going to leave her? Never. I smoothed her hair back and my wolf broke free as we looked her in the eyes. "I would never leave you. I love you. Yes I'm mad. What were you thinking? I could have lost you." I growled softly at her, a way she knew when I tried soothing her. "You would have had her." My eyes flashed to the yellow hue and I shook my head. "Fuck her. I only want you. When will you realize that?" Her hands were gripping my shirt tightly as she cried. "Shh. I've got you." I held her as she cried and it took the anxiety I felt away.

The next morning

Sam Pov

I looked over at the girls and smiled at my imprint. She was already mothering Bella. "Sam! Come get your woman!" Bella called out from the hospital bed. I laughed and walked over to Bella as Emily was watching us with a smile. "Come on Em. Let her rest." I bent down kissing Bella's cheek. She smiled and looked at Paul. He gave me a small nod and I pulled Emily to the side and we walked towards the door. I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and watched the two interact. "Are we leaving?" Emily whispered and I motioned for her to be quiet so Bella wouldn't notice us still being here. I smiled when Paul got down on one knee and started pouring his heart out. "Will you marry me?" Emily squealed before Bella could even answer. "Say yes!" She started jumping up and down and Bella laughed. "Yes!"

Paul slipped the ring on her finger and I watched the two kiss passionately. I shook my head. I gave him a smile and we looked at our girls. Dear god, was this going to be a wedding of a lifetime.


One month later

Paul POV

I stretched and rolled to the side, my arm reaching out for my fiance only to be met with sheets. "Bella!" I gasped sitting up as I panicked. "Coming!" She called and I sat back and sighed. I still couldn't get over the cliff situation and with her being a month pregnant I was on edge. She came in with a tray of food and slipped back into bed. I laid my hand on her stomach and smiled. Since her being in the hospital, Jacob and Bella rekindled a sort of friendship. Rachel left after the day I imprinted and Jacob only spoke to her once. Bella and I decided that when she got over her cold, we'd get married. Except she never got over it. Taking the antibiotics threw off her birth control and after a week of being in the hospital she was able to go home. Well, we had sex all over the house and after a few weeks of not getting any better, a trip to the doctors office showed she was pregnant.

Tomorrow is our wedding day and we decided to have a small wedding with just close friends and family. Renee and Phil both flew down a week ago and Bella hoped Charlie would show up but no word was heard. Phil would be walking her down the isle tomorrow afternoon. "I love you." I whispered against her lips. "You better." She smiled. Food was forgotten as I lifted her t-shirt.


I watched her walk towards me and time seemed to slow down. I only had eyes for her. The pastors words didn't register to me, only when I said "I do." A tear slid down Bella's cheek and I wiped it away. "I do." She whispered. "You may now kiss the bride." and kiss her I did. Cheers and hoots from my pack made us smile and we walked down towards the gazebo for our first dance together. She danced with everyone and laughed. We didn't tell anyone about her pregnancy, so I was surprised when Sam approached me. "So..you're making me uncle already?" I laughed and shook my head. "How did you know?" Sam tapped his ear. "I can hear very well." I nodded and smiled. Everything was going great.

"I just want to say how happy I am to see that these two finally found love. They belong together." Embry toasted and we raised our glass. "They do not." A voice rang out and silence ensued. We all looked to see Rachel Black standing up, and I growled at the intrusion on my wedding day and the threat of those words making my now wife upset. "Rachel sit down! Stop being a bitch!" Jacob yelled and glared at his sister. A few people laughed and Rachel stomped off. I nuzzled Bella's hair and smiled. My tongue flicked out licking her mating mark. She calmed and leaned into my side. I gave Jacob a nod and he gave me one on return.


Seth POV

I zipped up my pants and whistled. I couldn't wait to get back to the wedding cake. A twig snapping to my left had me alert. "Hello?" I called. I opened my senses smelling nothing. "Seth." A voice called. My eyes widened and I stood still. "Charlie?" He walked forward, and that's when I noticed his eyes. "Don't tell Bella...Where's Sam?"

AN:...You guys don't think this is over do you?
