Sam's Sister *Paul Lahote Imprint*

~Puma's are pretty awesome~

Amara's POV

"So, why did you not let us know about this sooner? Is there something that we should know?" Carlisle asks, sensing that I've missed some vital information out.

I sigh, as I look around the room, taking in the intrigued faces.

I feel oddly nervous, only Sam knows about this. I don't know how the Cullen's will react.

My body is over-run with a boost confidence.

I smile over at Jasper, who is currently leaning up against the wall.

"Uh , I guess, sort of. Obviously you all know about the wolves and how after they shift they are fine. Able to shift whenever, and shift back. Control themselves and so on. Whereas with me, its slightly different. I can't shift whenever I want to, it's when I need to. Like whenever someone's in trouble and is in need of my help. I can't shift just for the fun of it, like the wolf pack. I am the only puma shifter left, it's always the girl of the family. So the mother passes on her genes to the girl, not the boy. That's why Sam's a wolf and I'm not. You see my mum was descended from the purest Puma shifter families. She was so pure that she was considered the Master of the Pumas. With that came such responsibility, the gene doesn't always get passed on it's just luck. So when my mum and dad found out they were having a baby girl, they were terrified that I would get the gene, considering my mum was so pure. Usually it's visible straight after birth, if the girl has a visible freckle underneath her left eye. They were relieved that the gene had missed me, but unfortunately it hadn't. Mine just didn't appear until I was 15. With that, came a lot of training, my mum needed to teach me everything, and fast if I didn't want to fall behind. We were out training one Friday afternoon in the woods, our favourite spot where no one would be able to see us. We didn't realise but hunters were out, they got her, obviously thinking she was a wild animal trying to attack an innocent 15 year old girl. They killed her right in front of me. I've refused to shift since, fearing for my life. Shifting reminded me of her. I've tried my whole life to forget I'm a shifter, to life an ordinary life. Being the only puma shifter left, the purest ever to be ,comes with a responsibility, one of creating the next generation because if I don't my race doesn't continue. Boy puma shifters are extremely rare, there has only ever been one. His mother died during labour as he was too strong for her to handle. He was my mothers father, my grand-dad. If I were to have a boy, my entire ability of shifting would be passed onto him, to create the next generation of shifters. There is a complication that comes with that though, if I were to loose my shifting ability, it could cause me to also loose my life. My father tried so hard to ensure I couldn't have children, so he didn't need to loose anyone else, but it was no use. It's the only duty of a puma shifter, to pass their genes on to the their children. Whether it be a boy or a girl. Our appearance doesn't change after our 20th birthday, we stay young and pure. It's just if you have the capacity to survive. And create the next generation" I explain most of my life, and how I came to be and also my destiny.

Everyone is looking at me in awe, especially Jasper.

"Amara, I'm so sorry about your mother" Esme says gently, "I'm sure she was a lovely woman"

"Thank you Esme, she really was" I smile, looking over to Sam.

"Amara, does this mean that you've mated with Jasper?" Carlisle asks.

"Yes, I suppose it does. I completely forgot about that aspect. But definitely yes." I say, smiling up at Jasper.

He doesn't grin back, he just looks at me then back to Carlisle with a confused look.

Carlisle seems to understand what that look means, and nods.

"Amara, we all know and I hope you understand that vampires are usually infertile. There has not been any babies from vampires, except from Bella and Edward which nearly cost Bella her life. I'm so sorry to say, that whilst with Jasper you aren't going to be able to have any children." He says softly, yet informatively.

It doesn't sink in for a few moments, but when it does, the inner puma in me seems to let out a cry.

Jasper feels the sudden change in my emotions and makes me feel better almost instantly with his gift.

I still can't help but feel empty inside.

"I guess that's fine, I'm obviously meant to be with Jasper. If I were meant to have children, it would be" I finally say.

I wouldn't of mated with Jasper if I wasn't supposed to, it's my fate after all.

I get up and walk over to Jasper, he pulls me onto his lap in a tight hug.

I'm so glad, he's not freaked out by any of the information that I just shared.

"Amara?" Emmett says.

"Yeah Emmett?" I say back, looking over at the big bear.

"Puma's are pretty awsome" he grins.

Everyone just laughs.

~

We all sit and talk some more about the puma shifters before the pack leave.

I call it a night after watching many romance movies with Alice, Bella and Rosalie.

Making my way towards my room, where Jasper has the bed ready for me to sink into.

He slips in beside me, on top of the covers.

"I'm so proud of you, you know" he says, running his hands through my hair.

"Really?" I smile, my eyes fluttering shut.

"Really" He says, before I fall asleep.

Mumbling.

"I love you" I mumble, too sleepy to comprehend what I've just said.

Jasper's POV

I'm taken a back at what Amara just said.

I grin.

"I love you more, so much more" I say, while tucking her in, kissing her forehead.
