[Bella POV]

He left. He was gone, nothing but me and the forest.

My knees buckled and my body fell onto the moist, mossy ground below me. My body began to radiate strangled screams, my skin was radiating with heat as my mind flashed all those memories of me and him...

The first kiss, the first 'I Love you, the first and every broken promise he gave me.

My body curled up, my screams echoing around me.

My screams got loud and louder as my bones popped into deform places, it felt as if I was going through the change of being a vampire, or so I would've thought.

Suddenly, it stopped. My body wasn't in pain but more heated than usual. My eyes opened and I saw the world more better, I smelled scents that I didn't even believe I would smell.

Dirt, moss, a musky scent? Possibly a animal

I then looked down, paws, I had paws.

I opened my mouth to scream but all of it was a strangle howl?

A wolf...I'm a wolf? This can't be happening

"Hello? Who is this?" A voice echoed in my mind, it was stern and held some authority.

"B-B-Bella Swan."

"Holy shit!! We've been looking for you!" Another voice answered, it was masculine.

"W-who are you?" My mind was racing with images of having some undiagnosed mental disorders, thinking I was having a mental break.

"I'm Sam and the eager one is Jared" Sam replied.

"The one and only" Jared added on, smugly.

"And you're not going crazy, you have been blessed to be a protector!" Jared exclaimed, making me wince as I am not use to having loud voices, let alone voices in my head.

"Sorry, Jared gets too excited as it's just been me and him for a minute." Sam apologized but then added. "Look around so I could at least assume where you're at."

I obeyed and looked at my surroundings, just a bunch of moss and high trees.

"You're close" Sam commented, I was confused but then began hearing big pounding paws on the forest floor. Suddenly, a tall, humungous black wolf appeared through a batch of undergrowth ferns and bushes.

This wolf looked close to a grizzly bear, even probably taller than one.

"Ha! Sam! You need to lay off the muffins! Even your weight is showing as a wolf" Jared howled with laughter, his wolf, I assume appeared behind same. His was smaller, lankier but more muscular, and his fur was a dark mucky greyish brown.

"Shut up, Jared" Sam snapped back, his head turning to mine. "Now Bella, stand up and I'll tell you how to shift back."

I nodded, my heavy head nearly rolled with the weight, I stood up on my four paws and couldn't believe it. I was taller than I was human, I had to be at least close to Sam's size.

I somehow was able to see myself, I believed it was through the mental link.

My fur was greyish silver with black highlights and a weird black mask mark on my face that covered my eyes and snout.

"Are we sure she is a wolf shifter? She might be raccoon or something." Jared joked "she's ready to rob us."

I could see Sam's eyes rolled at Jared's comment but his main focus was me, he rolled his muscular shoulders.

"Relax and think of your natural human self, it will settle in and roll the transformation back but warning...first shift back is nearly as painful as first time." Sam instructed, his head nodded to me as 'it's time.'

I quickly began to think of myself, my hair, eyes then flashes of myself with him came back as a slingshot.

I felt myself buckle again but not as a human.

"Bella, just block those thoughts...think of more of your physical attributes." Sam instructed again.

I nodded, taking a deep breathe as I think of anything about my normal self.

My body radiated into that familiar pain but quickly vanished as I let my breath out.

I was my human self, aaand bare as the day I was born.

My blush radiated throughout my body as I try to cover myself, I ran behind a tall oak.

"It's okay Bella, here!" Sam tossed a pair of oversized basketball shorts and shirt near the tree. "These are Jared's, he won't be needing them."

I quickly snatched them, placed them on as best as I could.

"Thank you" my voice was raspy, my throat was sore from all that crying.

"Now let's go tell Charlie to call off the search."

"The search?"

"Yeah, after those leeches left and you were nowhere to be seen...Charlie called a search party." Sam explained, his face was etched with seriousness. How did he knew about the Cu-the family leaving? Until I felt my blood gone cold at the realization...him and Jared must've seen what went down through my thoughts.

"Y-you know what happened?" I asked, still dumbfounded.

"Yes but I respect you and any pack member's mental privacy and won't speak or think of it without your permission. The same goes with you and Jared, the mental link is sacred." Sam sternly explained, his brown orbs staring into mine intensely.

"Okay." I stated, I then noticed how I wasn't that much taller than Sam then realized...my body grown since the shift took place and even my skin got a tad tanner. Sam noticed and decided to explain some more. "Our physical bodies have gained qualities and somehow you gained more qualities than normal. We have super strength and speed, but most of that power inhabits us in wolf form."

I nodded, soaking any knowledge I could from Sam.

"I will have to tell Charlie that it happened." Sam also stated.

"But that would give him a heart attack!" I nearly screamed, my father didn't know anything of the mythical world. He could be in danger with such knowledge.

Sam let out a laugh, he wasn't taking me seriously.

"Your father is the reason why you gained this trait and you don't think he knows?" Sam laughed out, nearly wheezing at this point.

"S-so he knew?" I asked quietly, did Charlie actually let me have a relationship with him and didn't even worry for my safety?

"He knows major details but he doesn't know why...we keep him in the dark of the leeches." Sam quickly explained again, his seriousness was back once again. "We don't let anyone but the council know of the 'enemies' and if we did, it would breach the treaty."

My shoulders sagged in relief, Charlie doesn't know about them...

"Okay, I believe you need to take me to the search party?" I asked

"Yeah and you have to act hazy...just so it gets sold." Sam stated, he walked near me and scooped me up bridal style. "Charlie would hate for the citizens to know that his daughter was okay for the time being, we don't need to inflict embarrassment on the chief, okay?"

My cheeks blushed as he scooped me up, he was the musky scent I smelt earlier.

"Okay, act like a broken girl. Gotcha." I nearly whispered, my eyes closed slightly as he began running quite fast to Charlie's.
