The Packs Witch (Under Editing)

More Secrets Outed (Edited)

Arias POV

I sit in Paul's truck in silence, shocked as to what just happened.

He just...kissed me?

Did he though?

I was confused and hurt because he had smelled like sex and another woman.

I have no reason to be upset. He's not mine, but why does it hurt so bad?

I look over to Paul, seeing him gripping the steering wheel. I curl in on myself, pulling my knees. He hadn't looked at me since we got into the car.

"Paul?" I ask my voice quiet, so unlike how it usually is.

He looks at me for a second, anger painted on his face. He takes me in, my form sitting in his passenger seat curling into a ball. His entire body and expression soften, "what's wrong Aria?" He asks, his voice soft.

I shrug, "Oh you know, my boyfriend broke up with me, you...did what you did" I flush as I remember his lips on my neck

"Now you are taking me to Sam's but aren't speaking to me," I say sarcastically, my voice still thick with tears.

"Aria, look at me" he says, his hand reaching over and grabbing my chin.

I look at him, tears falling.

He quickly pulls the truck off to the side of the road, and reaches over for me.

He pulls me into his lap hugging me.

I squeak in embarrassment, "Paul!" I squeal "What are you doing?!" I ask as he wraps his arms around my waist.

He hugs me tightly, burying his face in my neck. "I'm sorry Aria" he whispers "I shouldn't have ignored you," he says and rubs a soothing hand on my back.

I wrap my arms around him, having missed his hugs.  "It's okay Paul, I understand. I'm a freak" I shrug as if it's no big deal.

He growls, his chest rumbling under me. 'you are not a freak Aria Uley" he snaps at me.

I jump and look at him, my eyes wide. "but you said-" I start but he cuts me off

"I didn't mean it! I needed you to stay away from me so I hurt you, in the worst way possible. I'm so sorry Aria" he says. "I know it was wrong, and I will spend the rest of our lives making up for it. I swear it" he says

I look away, "can we go? I want to get home and see what you and Sam need to show me" I say changing the subject quickly, feeling us getting into territory I wasn't ready to confront yet.

As I move to get off of him, he growls and holds me tighter. "Stay," he says and simply starts the car, driving off with me still in his lap.

We arrive at Sam's, the drive has been silent since he drove off.  I've been thinking, and he's been running my back.

Sam comes out and sees me on Paul's lap, snarling. "Why is my sister on your lap?!?" He growls before stopping and looking at Paul.

I climb out of the car, standing against the door as Paul climbs out after me. He throws his arm over my shoulder, and tucks me into his side.

Sam's eyes widen at whatever he sees on Paul's face, "did you-" Sam starts "Yes! I did" Paul says sounding angry.

I step away when Paul starts to shake, "You aren't keeping me from her Sam! She mine!" He snarls as his body trembles.

"Paul! Get away if you phase you'll hurt her!" Sam says, his voice deep with command.

This turns out to be the wrong thing to say.

"I would never hurt Aria!" Paul shouts, his shaking intensifies.

It happens so fast, one second Paul's standing there, the next a large wolf is and I feel searing pain going down my cheek and neck.

I let out a scream and clutched my face and side. "ARIA" I hear Emily yell as she runs out when she hears my screams.

I hear whimpers and turn to see the wolf down on its belly,  with its ears down, "Paul?" I ask the wolf weakly.

The wolf nods. "It's okay, it was an accident," I say trying to soothe his anger through my sobs.

I take a deep breath as Emily presses rags to my wounds, trying to stop the bleeding. I lift  a shakey hand, still crying.

Red wisps move through the wounds and close slowly. The blood slowly dries, and fades into nothing against my skin.

I look up and see Sam looking at me with shock on his face, "help me up please" I say to Sam.

Sam still stares at me in shock, not moving. Emily rolls her eyes and comes over. "Come on sweetie, I think you broke your brother," she says and helps me up.

I turn to Paul, "go blow some steam off. I think we are way over due for a talk" I say trying stay calm.

I walk inside, sitting down on the sofa. Sam follows, still shocked.

"Explain yourself, big brother," I say sweetly to Sam.

An hour later my head feels like it's going to explode, "so what I'm hearing is. Our legends are true, the Cullen's are vampires which caused you, Paul, and Jared, to all phase into giant wolves 6 weeks and you ve kept it from me?!?" I say standing up angrily.

I had explained what had happened to me, Sam and Paul both ended up walking outside to phase. Emily cried, and hugged me.

In the hour, Paul has come back

"Yes, we thought it was best," Sam says warily. And for good reason, when I was angry I was a force to be reckon with.

My hands and eyes start to turn red, "FOR THE BEST?! MONTHS OF BEING IGNORED BY MY FRIENDS WAS FOR THE BEST?" I scream at Sam.

Paul's eyes widen and he goes to walk over to me but I hold my hand up.

He stops in his tracks as my magic wraps around him, holding him in place.

"Do not come near me Paul Lahote. You lied to me, hurt me. Of all people you should have known I wouldn't have seen you any different or told anyone" I say angrily.

He looks at me sadly, "Please Ari let me explain!" He all but begs me.

"I don't want to hear it! Give me time and give me space. I'll come to you when I'm ready" I say and run to my room.

Slamming the door I put my hands on the door frame, putting a barrier spell around it so only Emily can come in.

I seeth in anger, my magic lashing out around me. The walls are covered in redmist and the mirrors are all shattered. I've heard multiple knocks, but have ignored them all.

I hear Paul's voice, "Aria please let me in I need to see you please little witch" It sounds like he's crying, my heart hurts but I know if I see him I might lash out.

I force myself to ignore it till I hear "you're my imprint Aria, I need you please," he says before it goes silent.

I stand shocked, before storming over to the door. Throwing it open I grab him by the shirt, pulling him into the room. "I'm your WHAT?!" I ask angrily.

He looks up at me, his eyes red-rimmed. "Imprint, my imprint" he whispers before falling to his knees and wrapping his arms around my middle, his head resting on my lower belly.

Instantly my magic starts to fade, and the red starts to fade slowly. Looking down at him, I smile softly, running my fingers through his hair.

His shoulders shake with sobs, "I'm so sorry Aria!" He says and hugs me tighter.

I sigh, knowing I'll forgive him, I always have a hard time staying mad at him.

"I won't say it's fine, but I understand" I say quietly.

He looks at me, "can we talk now?" He asks me.

"Yes Paul, we can talk I think it's long overdue" I say and lead him to the sofa in my room.
