This chapter Leah and Jake meet their makers and we learn more about the nexus and the Makah’s plan is fully revealed.

Quil P.O.V

We arrived at the Cullen’s to find a hysterical Rachel.

“What is wrong with you people!” she was screaming.

We walked in and I quickly went over to see what she was freaking out about. Carlisle was trying to calm her down. “Rachel whets wrong?” I asked.

She rounded on me, her face furious. “They brought Paul, beaten, bruised and unconscious!”

“Rachel Paul works for the bad guy now.” I tried to tell her.

She looked at me with defiance and disbelief. Can’t say I blame her, I just told her that her sweetie is one of the bad guys now.

“It’s true Rachel,” mom said, “Paul and two more wolves attacked us; if the Cullens hadn’t shown up they would have taken my son!”

“But Paul wouldn’t do that!” Rachel argued.

“Normally no, but Rach, a werewolf has show up and taken control of Sam’s pack. He gives the orders and they have no choice but to follow.” I said.

Rachel began to cry. Mom went and hugged her.

“Come on Rachel; let’s get a cup of tea.”

“Kitchen is that way,” Carlisle said pointing them in the right direction.

They walked out of the room and Carlisle sighed. “Where is Paul?” I asked.

“In the basement, we have him chained up. Jasper and Edward are inspecting him now as we speak.”

“I tried to call Kim but they got to her before I could tell her to get out.”

“What about your imprint Claire?”

“She and her parents left La Push. Their visiting relatives in the next state.” I said sadly. Claire may be gone but at least she will be safe.

“What about Jacob?” I asked.

“Bella is on her way now, apparently Jacob and Leah collapsed after the ritual was complete.”

“What?!”

“The shaman thinks it was a reaction to the magic,” he said not sounding too convinced.

“You don’t buy that either?” I asked.

“After what the Makah’s have proven capable of? No. As soon as the ritual was completed the Makahs had her escorted off their land. They made it clear she was not to come back. We have been trying to contact the others but no one is answering their phones.”

“Carlisle!” Esme shouted appearing out of thin air.

“What is it!” Carlisle asked.

“Edward can hear the wolves coming!”

Carlisle ran to the wall and punched some numbers on the keypad. Steel shutters appeared on all the glass windows and the front door. I could hear the locks clicking shut.

“Jesus!” I said.

“We had the house modified to have more security, all the glass is bullet proof and the metal is reinforced steel. We have hidden motion sensors outside and hidden cameras outside and in the woods as well. Even a vampire would have difficulty getting in here.”

“What about the walls?” I asked.

“We had the same kind of reinforced steel added into the walls. Plus we will have Jasper use his powers to project uncertainty and doubt out to help keep them away.”

“What about Bella? She’s on her way back,” I said. “They’ll tear her apart if she shows up here.”

“Not to worry, as soon as you contacted me we contacted Tanya and her coven, they are on their way here. We told them where to meet Bella...”

Suddenly a loud bang came from the door. I heard the sound of a wolf moaning in pain. Soon I could hear the sounds of claws scratching against the metal. They growled and yipped after a few minutes it stopped.

“Let’s go to the basement,” Carlisle said.

“I’ll go check on our guests,” Esme said heading for the kitchen.

We headed for the basement. The Cullen’s had the biggest basement I have ever seen. It was surprisingly neat and clean for a basement. We walked down into a long and narrow hallway. There were four doors, two on each side. At the end of the hall it split, going left and right. When we reached the end of the hallway we turned left and we walked down another hallway.

There were more doors along the walls. I looked behind us and saw another hallway like the one we walked along. We reached the end of the hallway and Carlisle opened the door. Inside was a large room circular room filled with lockers and a large monitor station with dozens of screens.

The blonde vampire Rosalie sat at the station, Nessie was with her in Rose’s lap. When she saw me her face brightened up. “Quil!” she came running over to me and I picked her up and hugged her. I felt a pain in my chest, her running to my arms reminded me of Claire.

She put her hand to my face and showed me memories of her over hearing the others talking about a mysterious creature running around, Jake and Leah falling unconscious in Makah, the wolves going crazy and attacking us.

“Quil, what is going on?” she asked.

“A bad man has come and is making the wolves doing bad things.” I said.

She showed me an image of Emmett dragging Paul to the room on the other end of the hallway. Paul looked worse in the light of the hallway then he did in the dark woods. He was covered in still healing bruises. I understood now why Rachel had freaked when she saw him.

“Is that why Uncle Emmett beat him up?” she asked.

“Yeah.” A sound drew out attention to the monitors. The monitors showing outside showed ten wolves prowling around outside the house, looking for a way inside.

One of the wolves backed up, then ran right for one of the windows trying to break through the steel plates covering the windows. He hit the metal so hard we could hear the bang all the way down here in the basement. The monitor showed the wolf fall flat on the ground and the steel plate didn’t even have a dent in it.

“Idiots,” Rose sneered. “Too bad I can’t eat food; I would get some popcorn and watch them go at it.”

“What about Paul?” I asked.

She pointed to one of the monitors. It showed Emmett and Edward chaining Paul to the floor. He was still unconscious. “What the hell was in that shot you gave him?” I asked.

“Just something I made using the data I collected when I did research on your pack. He will be out for at least another hour. If we used that shot on a human they would die, but since you have such powerful metabolisms a large dose was required.”

“So what do we do now?” I asked.

“We wait for Bella and the Denali Coven come here,” Carlisle said.

“And then?”

“Then we wait.”

“Wait!”

“I learned about the children of the moon during my stay with the Volturi, believe me we do not want to be fighting him tonight or tomorrow, especially not with your brothers helping him.”

“Why? What’s so special about tomorrow?” I asked.

“It’s the full moon tomorrow, a werewolf’s power is at its greatest. Our only hope is to attack him when it is the new moon that is when a wolf is at their weakest.”

“When is the next new moon?” I asked.

“Next month on the twentieth,” he said.

“We don’t have time to wait a month!” I said.

“If it was just him we would not hesitate to go after him,” the blonde pain said. “Since your pack will be helping to protect him we have no choice but to avoid him until we can figure out a course of action.”

“We have enough supplies to last you and the others for two weeks,” Carlisle said.

“And what we are just supposed to wait here and do nothing?!”

“If you want to go out and take on a pack and a werewolf be out guest.” Rose said.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bella P.O.V

I ran back home from Makah. After the ritual the Makah’s escorted me off their land and made it clear I was not to show my face around again.

I wanted to stay and make sure Leah and Jacob would be okay, but even Embry couldn’t get them to let me stay. I wasn’t going to cause a fight, not when Jake and Leah needed help.

I was only about an hour away from home when from out of nowhere a bunch of wolves appeared in front of me. I recognized some of them from Sam’s pack. There was a wolf there with thick brown fur. I had a memory form my human life, faint and fuzzy. That was Jared .

They were all growling at me.

“Guys it’s me, it’s Bella,” I said thinking maybe they were mistaking me for another vampire.

Instead of calming down they continued to snarl at me, bearing their banana sized teeth at me.

“Guys?” I asked taking a step back. They all charged at me and I ran. I spun around and began to back track the way I came. After I picked up enough momentum I spun around and jumped right over the wolves. They snapped at me with their jaws but didn’t even nick me.

The second I landed I continued to run back to Forks. The wolves were hot on my heels. I did not know why they were attacking me, I was far from La Push and it wasn’t like they couldn’t tell it was me.

A wolf jumped out in front of me, he lunged at me and came close to biting my arm but I dodged him by a fraction. I didn’t dare look behind me. I could hear the wolves gaining up on me quickly.

There were too many for me to fight alone, times like this made me wish I had a more offensive power like Kate or Jasper. A wolf came up on my left and rammed into me sending me flying into the air. The second I hit the ground I used my reflexes and strength to do a back flip and get back on my feet.

The wolves were circling me now, bearing the teeth, waiting for the right moment to strike. I hissed at them trying to keep them back, but I knew I was more than just out numbered.

One of the wolves jumped at me jaws open, ready to tear me to pieces. But then something jumped on it from behind. The wolf let out a howl of pain and went limp. Kate got up from the wolf and grinned at me.

“Hey Bella.”

I heard the wolves making sounds of shock and surprise. I turned around and saw the rest of the Denali coven attacking the wolves. Some had been knocked unconscious; others had been thrown like they weighed nothing. The wolves quickly scattered. I saw Jared shoot me a look. It was pleading, like he was begging me for help, with a hint of relief. Relief I was alive, relief he had failed. What the heck was going on?

I noticed many of the wolves with Jared had big paws, showing they were the younger wolves. Younger then Seth or even Collin and Brady. Why would they be sent to kill me? They may be wolves but they are too young to be hunting vampires.

And why would they try to kill me in the first place? We had not gone to Quileute land uninvited; we had not drunk human blood. Why would they break the treaty? We had been gone less than a day, what could have possibly has happened in that time?

Just then my cell phone rang. I saw it was Alice calling and answered.

“Thank God they got you in time,” Alice said.

“Alice what?”

“No time, listen you need to get to Charlie!”

“Charlie? Why?”

“He’s in danger; he is going to go to La Push!”

“Why? Is he going to watch a game with Billy?”

“Bella look here is the short version. A werewolf, a real one, one of the children of the moon has come to Washington and has taken control of Sam’s pack We have Quil, his mother, and Rachel Black here with us. Emily and Sarah and we believe Kim is being held by this werewolf. We have captured Paul and we are trying to learn everything about this Max from him. The werewolf has been killing hikers; we believe he is trying to make more like him. Charlie thinks that one of the wolves might have something to do with it, I had a vision of him going to La Push to talk to Billy and he vanished from my sight. By now Max will know everything the wolves know and he will know Charlie can be used against us, Bella please hurry, he’s getting ready to leave the station now, go!”

Alice hung up the phone. I pocketed it and began to run towards Forks. The Denali’s followed without a word; they had heard what was said. They knew what we had to do. Who we had to save.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Max P.O.V

Sam brought me three hikers him and his pack had found hiking in the woods. I tried to control myself so I would simply bite them and let the change happen. Sadly self control was not what we werewolves are known for.

By the time I was done all three humans were nothing but pieces of raw meat. I was in my wolf man form. The only time we werewolves could turn into a full wolf was on the night of the full moon. The wolf man form was the form we took the most often.

I licked the meat and blood from my muzzle. Savoring the taste of human in my mouth. The wolves were attending some of their own. I had given orders for them to stop me if I had begun to get deep into the blood lust. Apparently some had tried and I had wounded them bad. They would live.

Sam pawed up to me; I could smell his blood though it almost did not show on his black fur. Since he was in wolf form I could hear his thoughts. For us werewolves we could hear each other’s thoughts whether we were in human form or wolf. But they were shape-shifter, not werewolves. They are a mockery of my people; I could only hear their thoughts when they were in wolf form.

“Bella is alive, the Denali’s are here now,” Sam said.

“I know,” I said.

I could hear Jared and the others coming back. They feared I was going to punish them for failing. But they were glad Bella was alive. It gave them hope.

“I knew you would possibly fail when I sent you for the girl Jared; don’t forget I have your imprint under guard. If I am displeased with you I will hurt her, not you.”

“No, please don’t hurt her!” Jared pleaded.

“Fail me again and I will make you watch as I have your pack mates rip her to shreds, I cannot make you hurt her but the others will have no choice. Think of that next time you fail me.” I sent him an image of Kim being torn to shreds by his brothers. I felt his terror at the image.

“Leave him alone Max!” Sam said.

“Back down boy!” I growled. Sam backed down unable to go against me. “Jared I want you and the others to round up the elders. Bring them to Sam’s and keep them all here. Sam bring me more people to turn.”

“Weren’t they enough?” Sam asked looking at the left over with regret.

“No, not until it will never be enough. Be thankful I amusing outsiders and not members of your tribe pup, remember that can change quickly. Now get rid of the leftovers then bring me more humans.”

“How are we supposed to get rid of the bodies?” he asked.

I smiled “Eat them of course.” I could feel their disgust at the suggestion. “It’s better than you think, besides natural wolves eat people all the time now eat the leftovers, that’s an order!”

They tried to resist. But they could not fight it. I infused them with my will. It’s a trick an Alpha can use to transfer some of their personality into those they control. I used that part of myself that craved meat that wanted to feel blood squirt into my mouth and savor it like a well made cocktail.

At first they slowly walked to what was left of the three hikers. Heads down in shame. But when I shoved my hunger into them. I felt my urge become their urge. Felt them no longer see the hikers as dead people, not they saw them as food. They fell on the leftovers. Tearing and chewing on the leftovers.

Sam watched in horror as his pack were reduced to wild animals. I felt his shame. Shame in himself for not being strong enough to protect them, his defeat. I wanted him to watch. I knew he still carried some hope they could stop me. But as he watched his brothers, who were all children, not even in their teens eat human parts, as he watched two wolves fight over an arm, I felt him give up.

I decided to check on what Bella and the Denalis were up to. I lowered my shields and saw them finding Charlie driving to La Push. They stopped him on the road and he demanded to know what was going on. Bella told him it was a need to know kind of thing and he understood. She rode with him in his car and they headed for the Cullen’s.

The wolves I had stationed there would try to stop them but the Cullen’s would come out to help defend their kin. No one would be killed in the fight and everyone would retreat inside to safety.

I was not concerned. Once Jake returned tomorrow I would kill him and take his pack and power. Tomorrow would be the full moon, it would be easy. Then I would go and kill the Cullen’s. They only made it easy staying on one place for me to find them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Embry P.O.V

I sat next to Leah, holding her hand. We were in the hospital which was a large build, three stories tall.

Jake and Leah shared a room. Jake was on the bed next to Leah. They were both unconscious and had yet to wake once. They were hooked up to heart monitors, their hearts were beating slow. So slow I was afraid they would stop at any second.

Chris and some of the others were in here as well. “Have you all tried calling Sam and the others?” I asked.

“No one is answering,” Chris said.

I sighed. “What about the others?” I asked.

“Also not answering,” Chris said.

“Damn it!”

“What do we do now?” one of the new wolves asked.

“Where are the rest of the wolves who switched over to us?” I asked.

“Some are in the hospital waiting for orders; some are outside, keeping a look out for trouble.”

“Trouble?” I asked.

“The elders will not take us leaving lightly, there is a threat so we will not leave by your side unless ordered too.” the wolf said.

“We need to leave and soon,” Kouga said.

“We know Kouga, but until Hank can wake up Leah and Jake then I don’t want to move them.” I said.

“Embry, don’t you find this a little coincidental?” Kouga asked.

I said nothing, just letting him talk.

“What are you saying Kouga?” Chris asked.

“Come on Chris? I cannot be the only one thinking the Makahs did this on purpose. Remember how angry Hank was when Jake fell unconscious? Remember that look he gave Tristan?”

“How could the Makahs cause this?” Seth asked.

“Wolf’s bane!” Chris said.

“What? I thought that shit doesn’t work on us.” I said.

“Have you ever seen it used on someone?” Chris asked. “In large doses it can kill us. It has been used to kill wolves that were causing problems or needed to be taken out. But had to be done in a way that wouldn’t attract attention. So the elders would use wolf’s bane and poison the wolves killing them. Making it look like they died of a seizure and no one would suspect, well the humans at least.”

“Is there any way we can tell if they used wolf’s bane? I mean they’re not dead,” Sue said.

“If they used a small dose that might just cause a coma,” Chris said. He walked over to Jake. He grabbed his hand in his and brought his finger to his mouth and pricked it with his canine tooth. A small speck of blood welled up from the cut and Chris licked it off. He tasted it for a second and spit the blood out. “It’s tainted; I can taste the wolf’s bane.”

“How do you know what wolf’s bane tastes like?” I asked.

“It’s one of the tests one must take to become pack leader. You and the other candidates ingest a large amount. Only the strong survive, it ensures that the pack leader is strong and cuts out the weak from the pack.”

“And you survived this?” I asked.

“I was the pack leader,” Chris said.

“You people have a real fucked up system Chris.” Sue said.

“Why would the Makahs want to poison Leah and Jake?” Seth asked. “That doesn’t make any sense.”

“I think they wanted Leah unconscious. Remember Merck was shocked when Jake collapsed. I think he spiked the drinks, but I think Tristan spiked Jake’s.” Kouga said.

“To what purpose?” I asked.

“I think the answer lies in the basement,” Kouga said.

“Why? What’s in the basement?” I asked.

“Something. I sensed wolves down there when we got here. I don’t recognize the energy either.”

“Did some new wolves come into Makah recently?” I asked the new wolf.

“No, if a new wolf had come to Makah we would have been told.”

“Stephan what is in the basement?” I asked.

Stephan had worked at the hospital here before; he was studying to be a doctor. “Just where they keep medical files and extra medical supplies and…”

“And what?” I asked.

“Well there is this one room we were never allowed to go into. Only Hank or other high ranking doctors were allowed to go in there…but I noticed Tristan or one of the other elders came out of there. Hank once told me, and he told me this when I promised I would not tell a soul…they keep all the data they have collected on wolves in there.” Stephan said.

“That’s where they keep it all?” Chris asked.

“I always wondered where they kept it all,” Sid said.

“He also told me it’s where he does research and experiments on our blood,” Stephan said.

“What kind of experiments?” I asked.

He shrugged. “I don’t know, I didn’t ask, I knew better.”

“Can you get in there?” I asked.

“I know where it is but I don’t know if we can get in there.”

“Do you know if they keep wolf’s bane down there?” I asked.

“It would be where they take it to process it.”

“Then here is what I want you to do, get down into this lab, see if they have an antidote down there for this wolf’s bane. And while you are down there I want you to look around and see if you can find any info on what they want with Jake and Leah,” I said.

“I can phase enough where I remain human but my appearance will alter, I can use it to sneak around the hospital undetected.” Stephan said.

“Who else can do this?” I asked.

“Chris, dad, Richard, and William. The others can do partial phases where they can turn their hands into claws or become more wolfish.”

“Chris, Richard, I want you to go with him. If anything happens I want you to protect him and help him.” I said.

“I will have to sneak into Hank’s office, he has one of the keys used to open the door,” Stephan said.

“We’ll have the nurse call Hank in here, you go in his office get the key and go into the room and see what you can find, make sure you don’t get caught. I don’t want them knowing we have been snooping around.”

“Will do.”

We called the nurse in and told her we wanted to speak to Hank. Chris, Richard and Stephan left to go sneak into Hank’s office while he was gone. I don’t know what the Makah’s are planning, but I was not going to let them get away with it.

I held Leah’s hand and kissed it. First I would get her and Jake out of here safely. Then I swear I would make them all pay for hurting her.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leah P.O.V

I opened my eyes.

I was on the ground; I could see Jake across from me. I sat up and looked around. We were no longer at Merck’s. We were deep in a forest. There were large rocks surrounding us. We were not alone.

Sitting on top of the rocks and at their base were wolves. Not just normal wolves, they were wolves like us. There were all kinds of color wolves.. There were whites, blacks, grays, silvers, reds some were slimmer others were more bulky. There were humans too. Some men and women who stood next to one of the wolves.

I reached over and shook Jacob.

“Jake wake the fuck up!” I hissed.

Jake’s eyes shot open. He jumped up and looked around at the wolves with angry panicked eyes.

“Are the Makahs attacking?”

“No,” a voice said.

We looked up and squinted. The sub glared at us from the trees. There on the highest rock sat to figures. A wolf and I think a woman. The wolf stood up from its perch on the tallest rock and jumped. It landed in front of us and we took ten steps back.

It was huge! Larger then Sam or Jake. Next to it they looked like pip squeaks. His fur was white, whiter than snow. But with the sun shining on his fur I could see there was a golden shine to it. He looked like he was a walking sun. He was the most beautiful wolf I had ever seen.

I looked into his eyes and there was age and wisdom in them. When I looked into them the wolf changed. He was still a wolf but he was also a man. An old man

“In this place, you are safe,” The wolf spoke.

“What the fuck!” me and Jake said shocked he could speak.

A wave of light laughter ran through the congregation of humans and wolves. “Do not be afraid, this is the spirit realm, many things are possible here.” The wolf sat down making himself comfortable.

“Who are you?” Jake asked.

“I am the father of wolves, I am the great wolf, and I am the spirit warrior, your forefather and the first wolf of the Quileutes.”

“Taha Aki?” I whispered.

He nodded yes.

“Why are we here?” I asked. “Were not…dead are we?”

“No, not yet at least. This is where our people go when they die.”

“What about heaven and hell?” I asked.

“Just because something’s have a different name does not mean they are not the same thing.”

“So are these wolves our predecessors?” I asked.

“Yes, many are, some are wolves from other tribes, even Makah.” Taha Aki said.

“Why are we here?” Jake asked.

“We pulled your spirits here when the Makah’s poisoned you with wolf’s bane.” he said.

“Mother fuckers!” I growled.

“We have much to discuss my children. The Makah s have such terrible plans, you must stop them.”

One of the wolves on the smaller rocks spoke. “For years the elders only cared for the safety of preservation of the tribe. Our methods may have been hard but it helped make us strong and protect out people.”

“Hard? You steal your wolves’ souls when they decide to speak for themselves! You kill your wolves because they like boys!” I said angrily.

“We did what we had to for the blood line to continue, but the Requiem was the beginning of the elders fall from grace. It is an abomination that should not have been created. When the pack began to grow so large the elders saw how some of the wolves wanted to leave the pack and they needed a way to control the wolves that were more independent and rebellious, thus the Shamans created the requiem.”

Another wolf spoke. “But that was just the beginning of it all. After that they began to covet…the nexus.”

“What the hell is the nexus? Sounds like something out of a Star Trek movie.” Jake asked.

“You know the story of how our people could interact with the spirit world and had all sorts of powers?” Taha Aki asked. We nodded. “Well it wasn’t just us Quileutes who had such power. The Makah’s, the Ho, and many other tribes had such power. During his reign Utlapa spread his evil to many of the tribes. After I defeated him, I and the other chiefs had a meeting. We realized all though he was dead his ideas lived on. We knew soon another like Utlapa would come to want to use our power for personal gains, others would seek to use it for good, but would miss use it,” Taha Aki said.

“And you forbid your people from entering the spirit world, we heard the tale.” I said.

“It’s more complicated than that daughter,” Taha Aki said. “Sadly I could not trust my people not to go to the spirit world or use the old powers. None of the chiefs could. Power corrupts and is not given up so easily. We knew if did nothing then the power would be misused again and again causing calamity to befall our people. So we not only forbid the use of the power but we sealed it all away. We created the nexus.”

One of the other wolves spoke. “All our greatest magic, all the powers of myth and legend sealed away in secret, where no one could find it. When the white man came and brought their disease’s and guns the old stories died with the shamans and story tellers. Only a few remember, others have forgotten.”

“So had the Makah, but when Richard Daugherty excavated Ozette village in the nineteen sixties many artifacts were recovered. Among them were wooden glyphs depicting the story of the nexus. The Makah elders did not know the meaning of the wood. However the Shaman Merck with his gift learned their secret.”

“The Elders planned to find the nexus, open it and reclaim the magic of the old tribes,” Taha Aki said.

“Wait, some of that is ours.” Jake said.

“Indeed my son, some belongs to the Makahs, but they want the whole thing. They want to imbue their wolves with the old magic, making an unstoppable wolf army.”

“That’s crazy, why would they want all that power?” Jake asked.

“To take back America from the white man and give it back to the tribes.”

“That’s insane! That’s millions of people, they can’t do that!” I said.

“With the power of the nexus they can,” a wolf with red and white fur said. “Normally we leave the physical world alone, but the release of the nexus would greatly affect the whole world and the spirit world.” The wolf jumped down from the female next to him and joined Taha Aki. He phased and a man wearing a wolf head dress and leather pants stood in front of us. He looked very familiar...

“Ephraim Black!” Jacob said shocked.

I looked at the man and realized it was Ephraim, my father once showed me pictures when I was very young.

“Yes, I am your predecessor Jacob, I admit when I allowed the cold ones to live near us I never knew you would imprint on one,” Ephraim said. There was no anger or judgment in his eyes. Just a twinkle of laughter, like he thought the whole thing was funny. Then his face turned serious. “Our people are in danger, from the Makah’s and the werewolf.”

“What werewolf?” I asked.

“First lets tell them of the rest of the Makah’s plan?” one of the wolves said.

I looked at the wolves with new eyes. These were my ancestors. These were the people whom I came from. This was where I got my power from; I looked at some of the smaller wolves. The wolves that had a man standing next to them.

“Yes daughter, as you know you were the first female in our tribe, but not the first in shape-shifter history.” Taha Aki said.

A wolf got up and jumped down. It phased and a woman stood before us. Her eyes where wild and her hair was disheveled, like she had never heard of a comb before. “My name is Topaz; I was once the pack leader of the Makah wolf pack. I believe you know my great-grandson Quil.”

“You look a little young to be anyone’s grandmother.” I said.

She spread her arms. “This is the spirit world; time doesn’t have much meaning here.”

“Who are the humans?” I asked.

“They are out imprints; even death cannot keep a person from their soul mate.”

“You mentioned a werewolf?” Jake asked.

“Yes, recently a werewolf, a real one, one of the children of the moon has come to Forks. He seeks to raise a werewolf army and use the pack for his own purposes. He has taken your child and Sam Uley’s imprint hostage.”

“What!” I shouted angrily. “Why didn’t you say so sooner?”

“Calm down daughter.” Taha Aki said.

“No I will not calm down! My daughter is in danger and I’m stuck in la la land!”

“You cannot defeat Max now, he has taken over Sam’s pack and is using them.” Topaz said.

“What?” Jake asked.

“My great-grandson and his mother along with your sister are safe with the Cullen’s. Sadly the other imprints and the elders have been taken hostage as well. Max has an old power, the seed and the root.”

“Huh?” I asked.

“He can see the seed of every choice and the root of the final outcome. Unlike the vampire Alice it does not require him to have been something to see it.”

“He knows of your plight, but he knows you will overcome it. He waits for you Jacob so he can kill you.” Ephraim said.

“Me? Why me?” Jake asked.

“Jacob, La Push has not seen a wolf like you since the days of Taha Aki. You are not just a wolf, you are Canis lupus supreme. A wolf born with power and dominion over all shifters of his or her species. The last wolf in La Push who had this title was Taha Aki,” Ephraim said nodding to the great wolf.

“That means you have powers and abilities only a wolf supreme can have,” Taha Aki said.

“That is why he wants to kill you. If he beats you in single combat then your power will flow into him. He will gain power over all the shifters who take wolf form. Also in killing you he will have the power to open the nexus and claim the power himself.”

“Is that why the Makah’s knocked Jacob out? To use him to open the nexus?” I asked.

“Not quit. Years ago when the Makahs decided to take the nexus, they decided to make as many wolves as they could. That way they would have more warriors to use the power. The nexus can only be opened when the stars are in a certain alignment that happens every fifty years. Over a decade ago they decided to use technology to help increase the ranks.”

“How?” I asked.

“They needed a female to do it Leah.” Topaz said.

“Until you showed up no female had been born to any other wolf pack in the world. We females are rare in the shape-shifter community. They planned to take your eggs while you sleep and use the D.N.A of their wolves to grow hundreds of pure blood wolves.”

“What!” I demanded, outraged that my body would be so abused in such a disgusting way.

“They have special devices in the hospital they have been using to grow wolves. They have had little success, but with you their dreams would be fulfilled. But when we lent Jacob some of our power they mistook that he had the natural ability to control the old magic. They think mixing his blood with yours will make offspring that will have the power to manipulate the old power. They are wrong. We lent Jacob that power willingly. Jacob as La Push’s chief can open the nexus and as the Canis lupus supreme can control the magic to an extent. But your children will not have the ability like you.”

I felt sick. The thought of being violated by those freaks made my blood run cold.

“We have to stop them, all of them!” I said.

“We will help you stop the Makahs, but all we can do in the next twenty four hours is to lend our power to you. Soon the veil will close after Halloween and you will be on your own again,” Taha Aki said. “Do not worry, Embry and your new wolves are guarding your bodies, they know of the Makah’s treachery and are seeking a way to stop them even as we speak.”

“Embry?” I asked.

“Since he was your mate, he is next in the hierarchy to run things.” Topaz said.

“Okay so send us back so we can kick their asses!” I said.

I heard a feminine laugh. The figure who had been sitting next to Taha Aki jumped from the rock and landed next to him. Had this been the real world the fall would have killed her. I looked at her and did a double take. She looked like…me?

I mean she was a little taller, she wasn’t as muscled as me, she was softer in the face and she had a dimple when she laughed. “I like that attitude, but before we send you back we have a gift for you. Something to help you fight against the Makahs when the time comes.”

“What?” I asked.

“Come here,” she said.

I stepped closer to her. She grabbed my face. She kissed me. The second her lips touched mine, my body erupted on fire. It was like every synapse in my body was running with flame. I screamed in her mouth, I tried to pry her off but she would not budge.

When I thought I was about to burst into flames she let me go. I fell to the floor burning like the sun.

“Crazy bitch!” I growled.

“What did you do to her!” Jake said kneeling by me.

“What I gave you was the spirits of the wolves the Makah’s used the requiem on,” she said.

“Spirits?” I asked.

“The Requiem takes away the passion and human parts of the wolves, leaving them more wolf-like in mind and soul. This is the spirit world, where else would abandoned souls go to?” she asked. “Simply kiss the wolves who have undergone the requiem and they will return to their natural selves.”

“What about the werewolf?” Jake asked.

“That is a different problem altogether. His power will alert him to our plan. The best we can do is to use our power to blind his vision, that way you can surprise him more.”

“You must leave soon, the longer you are in this realm the more likely your bodies will suffer.” Taha Aki said.

“Wait, how do we kill Max?” I asked.

“When the time comes daughter you will know,” Taha Aki said wisely.

“That doesn’t tell us a damn thing!” Jacob said angrily.

“Have faith young one, we will be with you in your darkest hour, call for us and we will be there,” the woman said.

“Who are you?” I asked.

“Think, who else would I be?” Taha Aki looked at her. There was such love and adoration in his face; I knew who she was in an instant. “You’re the third wife!”

An annoyed look came to her face. “I have a name you know! Freaking old men! I stab myself in the heart and the ungrateful bastards can’t even remember my name! Third wife this, third wife that, makes me wish I had let that bitch eat them all!”

When she went off like that she looked more like me when I was having a bad day.

“Tell us your name, we will tell our elders,” I said.

“Thank you daughter, it’s………….”

What she said I do not remember. Before I knew it my body grew heavy, and the world turned dark. Before I lost all my consciousness I swore I heard an angry female voice.

“Oh come on! Did they have to leave right now?”
