Changing our Foreverchapter 4

See, problem solved. Alice will watch out for the Volturi and nobody else will have anything to do with Italy. I don't really know why Edward was so worried about telling them that. He sighed again. Of course, apparently keeping secrets was part of his nature. At least, he was always keeping secrets from me in the book. I was really glad I knew all those secrets now. I took a moment to ponder what would have happened if Edward had been the only one to read the books. Somehow, I don't think it would have gone anywhere near as well. Then again, if I had been the only one to get the books, it really wouldn't have gone well then either. I could just imagine how much he would have freaked out if I had simply gone up to him that first day, or even the next week and told him everything I knew. I was really glad Stephenie Meyer had informed both of us at the same time. Hmmm. His family was actually taking this rather well considering how crazy it sounded.

"You know, it just occurred to me that you're all handling this really well. I'm sorry for being so forward about acting like I know you. I hope I haven't been making you all uncomfortable."

"Don't worry about it, Bella," Carlisle assured me. "We're rather used to strange things in this family."

The others all smiled and nodded.

"Emmett being one of the strangest," Edward added.

"Hey! This from the boy who hears voices," Emmett retorted.

"That's enough, boys," Esme insisted. "We don't want to give Bella a bad impression of us."

"I think it's a little late for that, Esme," Jasper muttered. "Apparently, she already knows us."

They all laughed.

"What's this you said about the werewolves, Bella?" Carlisle inquired.

I exchanged a look with Edward. He didn't seem to want to jump in with an explanation, so I decided I would do it.

"The wolves are back. There's already at least one. His name is Sam Uley. Apparently, they have 24 chromosome pairs, and their dormant genes are triggered by the presence of vampires. So, because you are here in Forks, many of their young men will become werewolves. It could be as many as 15 males and one female, though that would only be if Forks comes under attack, which it did in SM's future. Hopefully, we can prevent that from happening."

"Hmmm, we'd better contact the tribal elders then and renegotiate the treaty. This is an unfortunate turn of events," Carlisle pondered.

"Well, Edward and I did have something of plan. One of the elders, Billy Black, is best friends with my father. His son, Jacob Black, is the true Alpha of the pack, but he isn't supposed to change for about a year. His two best friends also become wolves a little while after he does. He doesn't believe the legends right now. He thinks his father is just being superstitious. So, I thought this would be a good time to invite him and his friends over here to get to know you all."

"What?" Rosalie screeched. "You want us to invite werewolves into our house? Do you want us to die?"
