The Alpha Female

Prologue

Bella ignored both Jacob and Edward as they knocked and pleaded for her to open the bathroom door. But she couldn't, at least not yet. She was too busy leaning against it, her back pressed against the wooden door as she stared down at her shaking hands in horror.

Her fingers, or rather her nails, had grown into sharp claws. There was blood from Jacob painting the claws, and her hands had somehow been strong enough to crush Edward's shoulder, nearly tearing his arm off. All she had been trying to do was keep them from fighting again and had thrown herself between them. But somehow both of them getting hurt physically was the result and she had done it. But the question was how?

With shaking hands she reached up to grip the edge of the sink, pulling herself onto her knees and then to her feet. Taking a deep breath she looked into the mirror only to let out a horrified scream. Was she looking at herself for real? She looked like some sort of half-creature! Her ears had grown and were pointed, brown hair or fur sprouting around the tips as well as along the edges of her face; her chocolate brown eyes were huge and round and seemed brighter, almost hazel; she had elongated canines on both her upper and lower teeth and her cheekbones were more pronounced. What was going on?

"Bella! Bella, open the door! I don't want to have to break it and explain it to Charlie! Open up, please!" Jacob called out.

"Bella love, please open the door," Edward called out soothingly as if to calm Bella, but she couldn't be calmed, not over this.

Grabbing the doorknob and unlocking it, Bella swung it open and looked at the two boys standing outside of the bathroom. She noticed how their eyes widened significantly and how Edward had taken a step back, his nostrils flaring before he covered his nose with his hand. Jacob was just staring at her, taking in her new appearance almost in awe as well as confusion.

In a tearful voice Bella asked, "What happened to me? Why do I look like this? What's going on?" As her tears fell she walked up to Jacob and grabbed his shirt in her fists, her claws slightly ripping it as she looked into his eyes and pleaded, "Jake, help me."
