Pain. All I can feel is scorching hot pain in my body coming from my mate and they won't let me over the treaty line to be near her. Every time I feel a new round of pain, I know another bone has been snapped to be reset. All I want to do is run across the treaty like and hold her in my arms but I can't.

She told me she didn't imprint on me but I know that is not true now. Why would she attempt to save me if she didn't imprint on me? A regular shifter would never protect a vampire unless they meant something to them.

I look at Jacob and I feel a sense of hate. He's over here gawking at Bella while his packmate is having her bones broken over and over because she fought to protect the girl he can't have. Edward looks at me and nods his head to my thoughts, agreeing.

I run off into the woods and begin punching trees, letting my anger and the pain I'm feeling out.

************************************************************************************************************

A couple of days later have the wolves coming to the Cullen's house for Laila's checkup. She is now able to get out of bed but she still hasn't shifted yet, fearing the pain. Carlisle is going to be helping her through her shift making sure everything goes right.

A blue SUV pulls up and I watch Sam get out of the car and walk over to passenger side opening the door. I almost move to help her myself but I remember her telling me she didn't imprint on me so I stay back, watching.

She gets out of the car with the help of Sam and I see them both laughing about something. I wish that could be laughing with my mate, that should be me. I walk over when they're almost near the house and do a mock bow. "Thank you m'lady for saving me."

Her lips lift up into a small smile. "Only this time." I move aside as Sam and Laila begin to walk towards the house only for Carlisle to step out of the house, Esme by his side.

Sam needs to be here when Laila shifts just in case the pain is too much. If the pain is too much, her body can refuse the shift. At that point the only thing that will get her to shift is Sam's alpha command, a command she can not ignore. I've heard shifting for the very first time is very painful.

"Are you ready?" Carlisle asks, his voice and emotions calm. It's almost as if he's done this before. I make a mental note to ask him about this later.

"Yes." Laila wraps her arms around herself and closes her eyes, concentrating.

"Shift." Sam says, his voice and emotions showing worry and yet his voice comes off strong.

Laila's bones begin to snap, fur coming out in all different directions. She begins to scream and my heart begins to ache, wishing to be able to take her pain away. I sent her some calm hoping it'll help but she keeps screaming, the scream full of raw pain.

"I. Cant." She says, her voice shaking.

"Shift." Sam says, his voice coming off stronger than before.

More bones begin to snap and she screams out, her voice turning more into growls. It only takes a few seconds and suddenly she's fully wolf and laying on the ground, her tongue sticking out and panting. Carefully, as to not spook her I walk up to her and run my hand through her fur. A rumbling sound comes out of her mouth as I run my hand down her back.

I turn my head to look at Carlisle and he seems to get the message, I want to be alone with my mate. Sam seems to get the message to as he suddenly shifts and runs off into the woods. Throwing some clothes at me, Carlisle and Esme go into the house.

"Here." I pass the clothes into her waiting mouth. She takes them and goes into the trees. I hear the sounds of bones snapping back in place before she walks out looking beautiful as ever.

"So, I'm going to get going." She says awkwardly, walking towards the car.

Anger begins to fuel my body. How can she pretend she doesn't know what we are to each other? I know she knows. If she didn't know who I was to her she would've never have saved me. She's known this whole time and has been ignoring our bond.

(Laila's POV)

"You knew! You knew this whole time!" He accuses, his voice dripping with anger. He pushes me against the wall, his once gold eyes turned black.

"Knew what?" Always play innocent.

"You knew we were mates!"

Well shit.
