I can't believe Sam made me come over here and apologise to the stupid leach lover, it's her fault anyway, protecting Baby Alpha, but I gotta admit she laid a good slap down, I'll give her that not many people have the guts to say anything to me, let alone take me on. I made my way out of the forest next to her house, God it still reeks of bloodsucker here, I don't know how Jake can force himself over here. I made my way up to the front door and knocked, praying she wasn't home, a few seconds went by and Charlie opened the door.

"Paul, what brings you around here son"?

"I'm here to speak to Bella Chief I have to ugh, apologize for being an ass apparently"

Charlie grunted and patted me on the back "I'm on my way down to the station, bells is upstairs and Paul for what it's worth, I'm sure it wasn't all you" he chuckled and headed out to the cruiser. I was a big fan of the Chief he helped me when mum died and dad started beating on me, I remember the day he came and arrested him and made me a free man, I'll never forget all the work he did to make sure I was set up and safe. I sighed and shut the door as I made my way up to Bella's room, I just sniffed my way up and knocked on the last door in the hallway.

"Dad you're gonna be late".

"Guess it's a good thing he already left then". I heard movement and suddenly the door was yanked open.

"How did you get into my house"?.

"The chief let me in on his way out, look I don't wanna be here as it is, but Sam ordered me here to apologize and I will admit that I shouldn't have snapped at you, but you did slap me". Bella rolled her eyes "Oh come on Paul we both know I got hurt a lot more than what you did". I chuckled she was right and I looked down and noticed her hand had a bandage over it and suddenly I felt a little guilty, wait no I'm not going to feel sorry for the leach lover, I need to get the hell out of here.

"Sorry about your hand and I'll try being civil when I'm around you ok".

She nodded over at me and smiled a little "you hungry", Paul rolled his eyes at Bella "Oh please I'm a wolf baby never ask that question".

Bella laughed and led him down to the kitchen and started cooking bacon, eggs, hash browns, and sausages, by the time the food was done, Paul was drooling. Bella pilled his plate up and gave him the lot. Paul had finished eating in 5 minutes, Bella just sat and watched in amazement. Paul looked up and smiled at her "Yeah we eat a lot and it doesn't last very long, sorry".

Bella smiled and took his plate and started washing up. "Look, Bella, thanks for the food it was great but I gotta head back I got patrol in 20mins and if I'm late Sam will kick my ass, but I really am sorry for what it's worth even if you are a leach lover your still a chick and yeah sorry".

Bella dropped the plate into the sink and it made Paul jump slightly from the unexpected crash. "Look I get it I do, they left and I became a broken girl that everyone had to fix, I know that I'm stupid and everyone pity's me, but I'm better now ok, I don't miss them or need them, I am NOT A LEACH LOVER ANYMORE OK!" Bella burst into tears.

Paul went to her immediately and felt guilty for making her cry "Shit I'm sorry Bella, look I'm not good at this talking and the feelings and being nice ok I'm sorry, don't take any notice of me and I don't pity you, I mean I used to yeah, but you're a fighter".

Bella smiled up at him and wiped her eyes "I'm sorry I snapped it's just, I hate being the Leach lover, the girl that fell in love with a vampire, I wanna just be Bella again". Paul hugged her slightly and nodded "I know what you mean, I am an ass I know but I do it for a reason, everyone pity's me because of how shit my life is, so like you I'm a fighter, and for me that meant being a dick to prove my point, but you, you Bella just need time and don't do what I did, don't become too much of a fighter and push everyone away".

Bella smiled and kissed his cheek softly "Thank you, Paul, it means a lot, anyway I'm ok, you should go before Sam gets pissed at you". Paul nodded and walked out the back door and phased at the forest edge.

As Paul ran all he could think about was Bella and how bad he felt for calling her a Leach lover all this time, he might not have liked her that much when he arrived at her house but by the time he left, he felt like such an ass and was determined to hang out with her a bit and get to know her, she was sweet and kind. As Paul reached La Push he phased back and walked to Sam's house, as he made it inside Sam looked him over and Paul nodded over at him. Sam smiled and called everyone to be quiet.

"All right before we swap shifts over we need to talk about some stuff, firstly since we have no other sightings of any vamps we can cut patrols back to just 2 wolves per shift from now on unless something happens. Secondly, we have a new imprinted couple". Everyone looked around and noticed that Jacob wasn't there. "I guess you all figured it out, yes Jacob Imprinted last night.

"What about Bella" Everyone looked to Quil all wanting to know the same thing. Sam took a deep breath and sat down with Emily on his lap. "Well that's the thing I'm happy Jake found his imprint but he told her all about Bella and she requested that he have nothing to do with her". Sam was deeply upset about that, he loved Bella like a sister she had been through a lot and didn't deserve to lose her best friend.

"But that can't work Bella is Pack, she is like my sister how does Jakes imprint think we will abandon her, cause that's what she is asking, I mean if Jake can't see Bella that means none of us can right?" Quil looked sad as he spoke.

"I love her like a sister to Quil we all do, I will not turn her away from us, and Jake will just have to do his best to work something out because I won't let her lose another family". Everyone agreed even Leah to Sam's surprise.

Paul just sat there stunned, he couldn't believe his little fighters luck, she had fought to get herself back together and she's about to lose her best friend. Paul noticed Sam watching him cautiously. Suddenly Paul jumped up and tipped the coffee table over and started pacing the room, Sam jumped up and tucked Emily behind him "Paul calm down".

"Sam this is so fucked up right, you have to know that, she's been through hell and just yesterday Jake was declaring his love for her and now, now she is going to be left again maybe not by us, but her best friend which is even worse, she doesn't deserve it, Sam,,".

Sam nodded and he patted Paul on the back "Paul I know this is the worst thing that could happen to her but we have to make sure we are all there for her, it will be tough. Jake doesn't want to tell her yet so I told him I would". Paul was so pissed he had to get out of the house, he ran out and phased and started running, running to anywhere.

A FEW HOURS LATER

Bella sat in shock on first beach, trying to hold herself together. Sam and Emily invited her over to dinner and it was great but after dinner is where her night went to shit. Sam told her about Jacob and his Imprint, her name was Melanie and she just moved back to the rez. Bella held herself together until she made it to the beach and finally broke down. She couldn't believe her former best friend didn't even have the balls to tell her. So she sat alone crying.

After an hour no more tears would fall, she just stared out at the ocean that was lit up by the full moon. She shivered slightly and held herself tighter. Suddenly a jacket was wrapped around her, she looked up to see a heartbroken Paul. He sat next to her silently and put his arm around her and pulled her in tight.

"I'm sorry B, but you have us, the pack, we won't leave you, and you know that right".

"I know Paul, thanks it means a lot that you all still want me here, but you don't have to pretend, I know you don't like me and the pack puts up with me because I was with Jacob, well used to be…"

"B the pack loves you, In their eyes, you are there sister even Leah agreed so that means a lot, and me, well you're my little fighter".

Bella smiled over at him and in that moment she really looked at Paul, he was sexy and rugged, had the attitude of an ass but he also was one of the most caring people she had met. She had no idea what she was doing until her lips were touching him softly. After a few seconds she pulled away and sat there shocked with herself, what had she just done, she was an idiot Paul was a player, not someone who would be interested in her, let alone tolerate her. Bella went to move away but Paul grabbed her arm and pulled her back and smashed his lips back to hers. Bella moaned against his lips and pulled him closer.

Paul moaned and laid Bella down as he slid on top of her as he kissed her hungrily. Bella ran her hands all over Paul; where ever she could reach she couldn't get enough of him. Paul growled and pulled away slowly "B I want you, I haven't stopped thinking about you since I left ".

Bella nodded and kissed him softly "Paul make me forget, make me feel nothing but you". Paul growled and kissed up her neck. He ripped her shirt open and his eyes glazed over with lust. Bella panted as she pulled his lips to hers and kissed him roughly as she tugged on his pants. His hands skimmed over her bra before he ripped it from her body, Bella moaned and gasped as Paul smiled and breathed huskily "it was in the way, I'll replace it, promise".

Paul quickly slipped Bella's pants down and smiled up at her as he ripped her panties off, Bella smiled and moaned "not a fan of lingerie Paul". He smiled and kissed up to her ear and breathed "nope gets in the way, you better remember that" she shivered and pulled him close as his hands roamed over her naked body "B your so fucking sexy".

Paul slid his hands down her thighs and over her pussy, letting out a moan when he felt how wet she was, he slid his finger over her opening and gently rubbed her clit. Bella moaned and thrust on his finger as he chuckled softly and slowly entered a finger as Bella gasped and ground against his finger. He slowly slid up her body while he added another finger and took her nipple into his mouth and sucked hard. She tasted so sweet her skin was like candy, he couldn't get enough. "Paul please I need more" he growled and kissed her roughly as he added another finger and stretched her wide. "It's gonna hurt B ni won't lie, but it'll be quick and then it will feel good ok" he grunted out as he grinded against her. Bella moaned and nodded frantically.

Paul removed his hands and licked his fingers clean making Bella squirm and become wetter, she licked his lips and could taste herself and enjoyed the taste of herself on his fingers. Paul moaned and rubbed his dick along her folds. Bella nodded and held onto his arms tight, bracing herself. Paul kissed her with need as he slowly entered her inch by painful inch, she was so tight he was sure he was going to blow any second.

"Fuck B so tight, you're so wet wrapped around my cock, fuck" he panted out. With one last push, he was balls deep inside her, Bella's eyes rolled into her head and she moaned loudly the pain was over now, and she needed him to move now. "Paul its ok, but I need more please" she begged. All he could do was grunt and growl as he started slamming into her hard and fast. They were a moaning and grunting mess. Paul was close, she was so tight around him he couldn't take it anymore " ...I'm gonna cum", Paul grunted out, Bella moaned loudly and came hard and bit down on Paul's shoulder as she did. As soon as her teeth sank into his shoulder Paul lost it and thrust two more times into Bella before he growled deeply and filled her with cum.

He rolled off her so he wouldn't squish her and pulled her into his side. He stroked her hair softly and chuckled "Well that's gotta be the greatest first time, on the beach" she smiled and laughed and looked up at him. Paul just stared at her and smiled and kissed her softly and breathed huskily into her ear "You will never be alone B no matter what happens we all love you and will look out for you".

"How do you know Paul things change"

"I know because I imprinted on you….Your mine B, if you want me"

Bella smiled up at him "Really, that was what I felt before".

He nodded "Yeah I think it only just happened because there was Jake before, my wolf recognized that you were his girl, but now that he imprinted, well all bets are off and you wanted me, my wolf liked that".

Bella smiled and kissed him softly "So your mine no matter what".

Paul chuckled "Yeah you're stuck with me B, my lil Fighter".
