Sacrifices - Book 4 - Completed

1

I had been back in Forks, for a couple of months now. It had been challenging, getting used to being around humans – but it had gotten easier, especially because of my gift. Though, I could still smell the blood and the were-wolves' stenches. Paul didn't smell as stinky as the others, Carlisle told me it was because I was his imprint, but...he wasn't my mate. Which didn't make sense to me, no one said anything about it. I made Carlisle promise me.

"Get a Room!" Jared groaned as he walked into the living room,

Paul and I were making out, he was hovering above me, his hand under my shirt, resting on my stomach. My face heated up in embarrassment, but Paul didn't seem to care and kept on kissing me .He let out a low growl, annoyed that Jared was here.

"Not on my couch!" Emily shouted at us, throwing a sponge at Paul's head

He scowled but got off of me, and sat down on the couch, he did pull me into his lap, burring his face in my neck. Everything was perfect now, though, I did miss the Cullen's. I tried sneaking over, but he could always tell when someone was lying, and I would get stuck with him at work for a couple of days.

"Jacob ran off," Sam said, as he, Embry and Leah walked into the room with the rest of the pack,

"What? Why?" Emily frowned, worry on her face

"He got the invite..." I sighed, shaking my head

"What invite?" Jared asked, eyebrow raised

"Edward and Bella are getting married. Sorry Artemis, but..." Sam trailed off, looking at me

"I know. If she's not human when she get's back...you'll have to kill them, I know the treaty...I'm not giving up on convincing her she doesn't want this...I don't know who would," I clenched my hands into fists,

Paul tightened his grip around my waist and scent a calming scent and feeling at me, which got me to relax into his embrace. I smiled softly, closing my eyes.

"Are you going to be in the wedding?" Kim asked me, grinning

"Bella wants me to be the maid of honor, I haven't decided if I should or not, she asked dad and he said I could since that would mean spending time at the Cullen's," I shrugged my shoulders,

"You should do it, you won't get another chance," Emily told me with a soft smile,

"Yeah, I guess you're right. I'll tell her later," I shrugged, leaning back into Paul, as he kissed my neck,

I snickered when Emily squirted water at him, he scowled at her and I got off of his lap as I stood and stretched.

"So soon?" Emily rose an eyebrow at me,

"Bella's been staying with Edward for the past week, I know he get's lonely, even though he tells me to go ahead and come here. He likes you," I looked to Paul, a bit amused

"Of course, he would, he's not a leech," Collin said, jumping onto the couch,

"Dude-" Jared started,

"Crap I-" Collin started, going tense as Paul growled at him,

"Haha, don't worry about that term, to me it's not derogatory since I didn't have much of a choice and I avoid human blood at all costs. Even if it's from the Hospital, they didn't have any luck feeding it to me," I smirked at him,

"Don't forget that Rosalie didn't have a choice either," Bella said from the door,

"Came for an answer?" I rose an eyebrow at her,

"That, and Charlie wanted me to tell Paul that if he gets Artemis pregnant, he's going to kick his ass," Bella smiled, looking to Paul

"Ooh, I wonder if that's a prophecy~" Embry teased us,

"I'm a Vampire, I can't get pregnant, - and the answer, Bella, is yes, I'll be your maid of honor," I rolled my eyes, smiling to her,

"Sweet – and just so you know. Alice wants you to be her doll, and there bright and early," Bella shrugged her shoulders,

"I don't need sleep Bells, why do you think I'm always in your room?" I smirked at her,

"You-" she gave me an annoyed look,

I dropped the human camouflage, and ran into the woods, going to the Cullen's place, I jumped on Edward when I got in there. Knocking him into the ground, I burst out laughing. Amused. Emmett's laugh boomed through the house,
