Heart of the Pack

Chapter 34 - Changing

Once the pack had all arrived, we ordered pizza, dough balls and garlic bread, it was a common order we got when the pack was all together, meetings were always held at mine and Paul's seeing as we had all the extra space since we joined the houses together, it suited everyone well. Sam started the meeting seeing as he was the one who called it, "there is a few things we need to discuss today, the first involves you Amelia" Sam said as he looked at me, I was worried what could possibly involve me in a meeting about the pack? "if you all remember a couple years ago, Billy found a legend within our histories that the true alpha of the pack would imprint without knowing himself" he paused as everyone nodded, Jacob looking guilty as I glanced across at him "well recently it came to our attention that the stories from our ancestors had been altered by a vampire who had kidnapped Mia, it was never a true story, it was placed within our histories in order to lure Mia into their plan and in the end it worked, Mia I'm sorry for what you went through" Sam said as I noticed I was tearing up, which only made Paul hold me closer, "we have found the true story however we cannot tell you until we have verified it. Secondly is some news which you may have guessed was coming, I am going to be stepping down as alpha and stopping phasing for the sake of Emily and our baby, I have spoken with Jacob about this and he doesn't wish to be alpha, therefore Paul if you would like to be alpha the position is yours" Sam said breaking the news, Paul didn't know what to say or do so said he will give him his answer later tonight.

The pack was surprised, to say the least that a leech was able to get onto our lands and alter our history without anyone knowing, they expected Sam to stop phasing soon as everyone knew of his desire to grow old with Emily.

"Mia, take a walk with me?" Paul asked as he stood up from his seat, I nodded taking his hand following him onto the beach, (paul, mia)
I found out some news this morning, I found out my parents weren't actually my parents, I'm Sam's twin brother, I was adopted by their best friends as they couldn't have children and my birth-mom felt guilty she had two. I was the older one of us both, that's why Sam's offered me the position of Alpha. I wanted to ask you about how you felt about it all before I decided anything,
I was shocked. "Paul, are you ok about the whole parent thing? Have you tried to contact Alison or Joshua? If you want to be alpha, you take it, no matter what I'll be by your side" I said rubbing small circles on the back of his hand.
I guess, I mean it's not like they didn't want me, Alison wanted her friends to have children so she must have been wonderful to give her child up to help her friends. My mom and dad looked after me so well Mia, you know that, I was lucky to have them. I've not contacted them yet but I think I should, would you help me? I just don't know if I would be any good at leading a pack. He was doubting himself, but he didn't need to.
Paul, you would be an amazing leader, you're firm but listen, you've changed so much, back when you first phased I wouldn't of said you would be a good leader but over the past few years you've grown so much, you listen to people instead of jumping to conclusions and then ever since England you've really got your anger under control babe, you'd make a great alpha. If you want to contact Alison and Joshua of course I would help, but only contact them when you're ready.

He kissed me before we headed back to the house, he was ready to tell the pack his answer, everyone went quiet as we walked in, anticipating Paul's answer "sooooo..." Jared shouted out, "I accept" was all Paul said before the pack came jumping on him, I escaped not wanting to get crushed. At that moment Jade arrived with all three kids, Harry ran up to me the moment he got out of her car "I missed you Harry, I love you so much baby" I said whilst kissing the top of his head, "I miss you to mommy, I love you" he said before I put him back down so he could go inside, "so you and Paul ey" Jade said with a wink as she carried a sleeping Jess, all I could do was blush and nod, "he'll treat you right, you could always see how much you loved one another, even back in high school Mia, I could see it back then and we weren't even friends" she said before walking inside leaving me shocked at her words. I wasn't in love with Paul back then was I.

It was late before the pack started to leave, Emily and Sam decided to stay with us a little longer so they could speak, they weren't planning on telling the pack about them being brothers until they had spoken with Alison and Joshua. Me and Emily had left them to talk as we went upstairs to give them privacy, they were so happy to be actual brothers, and twin brothers to say the least. "Mia, I have to ask, are you and Paul together?" Emily said breaking the silence as we sat down on my bed, "yeah, he asked me yesterday at the bonfire, I'm scared he will imprint on someone but I can't not take the risk when I love him Em." She nodded understanding what I was saying, nobody knew when they would imprint or even if they would imprint so who knows what the future holds for me and Paul.
