❝ARE YOU SURE THIS IS OKAY?" Bella asks, walking next to Jacob. "I really hate being a party crasher."

"Yeah, and by the looks of it, I see no alcohol. So, it's not a party, I assume?"  Selene agrees, turning her head over to Jacob while she walked with the two. The shape-shifter smiles, shaking his head, "Yeah. Technically, you two are council meeting crashers."

Selene and Bella both glance to the werewolf with shocked expression, "See? The council leaders; Dad, Quil's grandpa and Sue Clearwater. She took over after Harry died."

Bella stopped walking and faces Jacob , "Yeah, we should not be here." Selene sights a familiar hair of a blonde and a brunette, taking a sniff through the air and immediately gripping her fists tightly. "We're leaving. Let's go—" Selene turned to leave and Jacob stopped her, grabbing her forearm softly. "The two human girls, mind explaining that, Jake?" She spat furiously, eyeing Jacob threateningly and Bella glances to the two confused as ever.

"Who..?"

"Evelyn and Laura." Selene answers and turns her head to Bella, "Remember them?"  Bella's lips parted in shock, why the hell are they here? Jacob lets out a sigh, glancing down to the ground before speaking, "Jared invited them. Paul told me, and he was more..um, un-pleased than you."

Selene lets out a scoff, glancing over to the fireplace and back to them, "Yeah, that's why we're leaving." She forced her arm out of Jacob's grip and he exhales again, "I thought..I mean, they thought it would be good for you to hear the histories."

"The histories? The tribe's histories? Aren't they secret?" Bella asks, "We all got a role to play, and you two are a part of this. I mean, it's the first time Seth, Leah and Quil'll hear them, too."

"And the human girls? The ones i think don't know a thing about the supernatural?" Selene asks, clearly irritated by this whole situation. "Almost everyone knows that long ago, Quileute tribe members were the ancestors of werewolves." Jacob explains, "Besides, if they'll suspect anything, we have a mind controlling siren with us." He adds with a grin, glancing over to Selene who runs her palms across her face.

"Let's just get this over with." She groans out and the three walk up to the rest. "Jake!" Seth runs up to Jacob and greets him, "Paul's been hoovering the grub, but I saved you some burgers."

"Good looking out, bro." Jacob says and introduces the two girls, "Bella, Selene, this is Seth Clearwater, Leah's brother." Seth firstly shakes Bella's hand then Selene who sends him a soft smile, "Nice to meet you, Seth."

"You know, for a man-eating mermaid, you're very pretty." Seth says, slightly pointing to Selene who smiles even wider. "A charmer, huh?" She says with a teasing chuckle, glancing over to Jacob who smiles at their interaction. "Don't let Paul hear you. Seth's our newest member of the pack,"

"Newest, bestest, brightest.." Seth counts, shrugging his shoulders as he continues to compliment himself. "And slowest." Jacob adds, wrapping his arm around his neck and bringing him down to his chest. A whistle was heard, which meant the stories were about to start and Selene—being forced to be here, didn't want to miss a thing.

Selene walks past the two human girls, already smelling their tension rising as she did so. Evelyn and Laura exchange a glance then turned their heads back to Paul whose eyes shimmer at the sight of her as he gave her a bright smile. He places the plate filled with burgers on the table and joins the rest.

Jared quickly sits next to Selene as she looks at him with shocked and confused expression. "What are you.."

"I hope you're not too mad for the whole..inviting Eve and Laura, like angry puppy over there."
