I heard Charlie talking to Paul and the first thought through my head was "Oh shit, Charlie is gonna shoot him"

I then heard a Charlie imitation of me saying 'goodnight Paul' and then some typical Charlie grumbling.

I went to bed with Paul on the brain. I was his soulmate, his imprint, his one true love. I could not believe that someone so hot could want to be my love. Not to mention the fact that I was totally a creep magnet and completely clumsy.

With all that running through my head I promptly fell asleep. Sometime in the night, I felt the bed sink lower, and I rolled over into a pair of warm arms. The touch was all I needed to know that it was Paul, so I snuggled in closer for warmth and fell asleep on his chest.

I woke up to my bed moving, it was going up and down. When my cheek connected with hot skin, I knew instantly that it was Paul. Then I remembered last night, the touch that sent pleasure waves racing throughout my body. I rolled over just to make sure it was him. Sure enough 100% hard, chiseled, handsome man was lying in my bed with nothing but a pair of shorts on. Charlie would kill me if he ever saw this under his roof. . .

CHARLE! He might still be in the house, what if checks in on me.

Paul mumbled "Charlie left about 25 minutes ago, said something about grabbing doughnuts on his way to work. Never looked through your door." With that he rolled over and fell back asleep. I took a clean pair of Spandex and a sports bra to the bathroom with me, grabbing a fluffy towel from the closet on my way by. I showered quickly, slipped into the comfy clothes, and walked back to my room to go back to bed with Paul.

When I arrived in my room, my bed was no longer occupied, and I could smell the coffee brewing downstairs. Good move Paul, but buddy you are on your own, I am going back to bed with a good book. Not that I needed to wait long, soon Paul moved back into bed and set mine and his cup of coffee on the nightstand, he curled his arms around me and stuck his head in the crook of my neck and started to read with me. Within the first 3 pages he looked at me incredulously and stated, flat faced "Romeo and Juliet are you serious?"

"Of course I am serious Pauly, I have to figure out this whole soulmate principle. What I am supposed to do, how I am supposed to act, that sort of thing."

He just rolled his eyes and snuggled closer to me.

I continued reading and sometime I must have fallen asleep because I woke up shivering and alone in bed. I realized that I was covered in blankets when I had fallen asleep without them. I rolled over and found a note on my pillow.

My Bella;

When you awake I will be gone. I just want you to know, that I did not want to leave you. Sam called us to a meeting.

Meet me at First Beach at 3pm. Look forward to seeing you again!

~Paul~

P.S. You look amazing!

I smiled as I read the note and looked at my phone. 2:15 I just barely had enough time to get ready. I took a curler to my hair so that I could create ringlets in my naturally curly hair. I did the basic make up, and put on a pair of dark wash jeans, my converse and threw a North Face sweatshirt on over my tanktop.

I rushed out to my truck and gunned the 20 something year old engine, I forced it into reverse and got myself on the highway to La Push. I was driving down the old highway singing to the radio and thinking of Paul. I can't believe I got so lucky, Paul was everything every girl dreamed about, he was handsome, charming, had the rough and tugged look that so many men tried to achieve, and he was sweet and caring. What else could I ask for?

As I reached La Push I quickly turned and headed for First Beach, I made all the correct turns and quickly found the small parking lot. I parked my behemoth of a truck and jumped out making sure to grab the duffle that I kept in my truck for beach days. It held my sea foam green bikini, a black towel, sun screen, and a change of clothes. I headed down to the beach and sat down on a large chunk of driftwood and waited. I still had 5 minutes when the hair on the back of my neck picked up and a chill ran down my arms. I snuggled in tighter to my sweater and huddled down on the driftwood. I heard steps in the sand and turned to find none other than Jake. He had a sorrowful and somber look on his face, he walked closer and I could see tracks of tears through his dirt stained face. My immediate thought was Charlie, I stood quickly and rushed to Jake, "Jake what's wrong, please tell me Jake." He choked out in a strangled voice one word that constricted around my heart and sent tears immediately to my eyes. "Paul"

I collapsed in the sand. I had only had him for such a small amount of time and now he was gone, my small amount of light in this dark place and now I was shrouded in a cloak of dark mist and shadows. I vaguely felt a set of warm arms pick me and carry me to the truck but all I could think about was Paul. What happened? Why had Jake looked so somber? How would I handle it if he was gone?

I don't remember the trip to Emily and Sam's only that I was there in their living room with a blanket and a hot cup of cocoa. Emily was beside me rubbing my back and Jake was on the other side of me his large warm hand on my thigh rubbing small circles with his thumb. I didn't think just spoke out loud "Where is Paul and what happened?"

Every single head in the house snapped around to look at me, shocked by my sudden outburst.

Sam walked over and kneeled down so he was eye level in front of me. "Bella I need you to be strong right now, Paul needs you to be strong. He has no idea what he is doing and how much it could hurt you, all he knows is his own pain." Sam took a deep breath and let it out shakily. "Bella, Paul's dad died when he was little leaving him with only his mother, she made up for Paul's dad being gone by spending as much with her son as she could. Paul has always been a momma's boy even after he turned. But Bella there is no easy way to say this, Paul's mom died." It was my turn to draw in a shaky breath and let the tears roll. But still Sam went on "Bella that's not the worst part, Paul ran off with his ex girlfriend. Bella I am so sorry."

When Sam said this I saw red, I didn't collapse like the boys thought I would I stood up and saw red, Jared just so happened to be in my line of vision as well as Paul's best friend. "JARED!" I roared. "How could you let him do this, you knew exactly how this would affect us!" At this point I was shaking un controllably.

"Shit Sam get her out of the house she looks like she is gonna phase."

Sam picked me up and threw me out of the house but I landed on my feet, something entirely new to me, I was still shaking and everything was blurry. And suddenly something inside me snapped, and I mean literally it felt like my bones were exploding. I barley heard Quil saying "Shit guys look at the color!"

When I opened my eyes everything was magnified, I could hear every breath and mumble as clearly as a thunderclap. I looked down and saw golden brown paws. Great I am a fucking wolf just what I needed. But as I rolled my shoulders they felt different to heavy and sort of uncontrolled. The boys gasped, and Sam went white as a sheet, if that was even possible for an Indian. I tried to talk but it just came out as barks and growls. Okay think human, think nice things, think home.

Once I felt human again I looked around, Emily handed me a sun dress and I quickly put it on. Turning to Sam I was quick to ask "Okay Sam whats going on here?"

"Well Bella there is a legend about one of our kind that will be born with wings, our one true ruler. The ruler will be able to bridge the gap between our enemies and make us a stronger pack. See Bella this ruler is half Quilluette and half Makah, the 2 strongest tribes in the Washington area. Bella I think it is high time you and Charlie had a talk about your heritage and what you really are."

"Sam, what the fuck am I supposed to do about this, I am a wolf with wings, I am a Pegasus. No take that back I am a Wolfagus!" The boys got a chuckle out of this till I death glared them.

It was Jake who spoke "Ummm Bells do you know when you do that your eyes flash red, its really creepy". Great another thing to add to the creepy Bella list.
