"It's my 18th Birthday" I scream in Jacob's ear, making him fall out of bed and groan.

"What the Hell Aleera!!!" Jacob yells at me as I run out of his room laughing. Uncle Billy shaking his head trying not to laugh. Jacob starts to chase after me laughing.

"Breakfast is ready!!" I scream at him holding a plate of food. As we sat at the table to eat,

"You do know that we are supposed to make you breakfast on your birthday. Right?" Jacob states as he chuckles at me.

"Yeah! Well I wanted to be able to eat it not figure out what it is." I state back to him. Rolling my eyes at him.

Jacob puts his hands over his heart in mock pain. "That hurt Aleera, just so you know I can cook." He says to me with a frown on his face.

"Not according to your sisters." I say smiling at him.

"Did they call you this morning?" Uncle Billy asks with a smile on his face.

"Yes they both did, they called me at 12:01 am this morning like always." I say with a big smile. Rebecca and Rachael have always been the first ones to wish me happy birthday for as long as I can remember.

"What are your plans for today? Uncle Billy asks me, knowing that I will be with Paul for most of the day.

"Well breakfast with you two, Paul has to work for a few hours this morning." I state, Jacob rolls his eyes. "But when he is done, Jared, Kim, Paul and I are going to the movies, Sam and Emily may join us and of course there is the barbecue tonight." I say all smiles. 'I don't care what I do, as long as I get to be with Paul that's all that matters to me.' I think to myself.

"I don't know what you see in him!" Jacob says anger in his voice. "He's a hot head and a man whore." Jake says with venom in his voice. I look at him hurt.

"You don't have to cuz!!" I say with anger in my voice making Jacob look at me with wide eyes. "All you should care about is that he treats me right and he does and that we love each other." I stated to him, looking annoyed at him. 'He needs to get over this hatred of Paul and the pack. I wish he would shift already so he could understand.' I think to myself as I try to calm myself down.

"I'm going to go get ready for the day." I say to my uncle getting up from the table. He knows that I know about the pack and that I am Paul's imprint. "Jacob can do the dishes!" I said leaving the dining room.

"Ok! Have fun today, and I'll see you tonight." Uncle Billy says, smiling at me.

There's a knock at my bedroom door. "Aleera, Jared is here to see you." Uncle Billy says throw my bedroom door. I open my door to see Jared standing there with a frown on his face.

"Jared? What's wrong?" I ask, I don't like it when Jared is upset. Jared is my best friend and big brother. I pulled him into my room.

"Nothing is wrong per say, I do need your help." Jared asks with the saddest look on his face as he starts to pace my room.

"You know I will always help you Jared. What's up?" I state with a look of concern for him.

"Help me tell Kim, about everything." He asks, still looking sad.

"Jared of course I will. When do you want to tell her?" I question the small smile on my face.

"That's the problem... I want to tell her today!!" He says biting his lower lip. "I know it's your birthday and I don't want to upset you on your birthday. But I feel like I need to do it today. We got into a fight last night and she thinks that I am cheating on her and you know I'm not." He says pacing my room again.

"Jared Cameron!!! Really!! Do you think that little of me! I don't care if you want to tell her today, tomorrow or next week. I will support you no matter what. You are my best friend and I love you like a brother. You know that." I say with a little anger in my voice hitting his shoulder a few times.

"I just didn't want to make your birthday about me and Kim." Jared says, still sad, holding his hand up in defeat.

"Jar, it's fine! I know how she feels. I felt the same way with Paul. Now let's go tell her, then get back to me!!!" I say while laughing, Jared following behind me as we leave my room.

I am just arriving at the pack house when I see Aleera and Kim in the backyard. Jared and Sam are walking out of the house. "We need to wait for Paul before we do anything." Sam says while shaking his head at Jared. I start walking out from the woods. 'What the hell is going on.' I think to myself. I walk up behind Aleera, grabbing her waist.

"Happy Birthday Babe!!!" I say while I kiss her neck. "What's going on here?" I ask Sam to Jared who has a guilty look on his face.

"Umm...." Jared starts to say when Aleera turns to me and whispers "it's time!!!" I look at her confused. She looks to Jared and then to Kim, and it clicks. Jared is telling Kim about the pack and her being his imprint. I walk over to Jared. 'Why today dude!' I think to myself.

"What the hell dude, it's Aleera's birthday!! Why today of all days?'' I say low enough for Kim and Aleera to not hear.

"I asked Aleera before anything. She said she was fine with it." Jared says while looking down. Sam looks between us making sure a fight doesn't break out. This is not how I wanted my girls' day to go.

"Paul I asked Aleera when they came over this morning. She is fine with Jared telling Kim today. You know her, she will do almost anything to make sure we are all happy and taken care of. Just like Emily." Sam looks at me with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"I know!! This is just not how I wanted her birthday to go. You know!" I say with a whine in my voice. I didn't realize Aleera walked up behind me.

"Paul....My wolf! I am fine with this, and you should be too. You know what Jared is going through and I know what Kim is going through. It's time Jared!" I say pulling Paul away back over to Kim.

Jared and Kim have been gone for over two hours. She took the news about the pack really well. Better than even me which everyone found funny including me. He was now telling her about her being his imprint. Paul and I have been cuddling on the couch since they left. "Babe... are you ok?" Paul asks, looking down at me.

"Yeah... I'm fine. Just bored." I say looking up at my imprinter, with love in my eyes as I lay on top of him. 'I wish we were at this house. The things we could be doing!' I think to myself as I cuddle with him.

"What could be taking so long? I mean hell, when I told you, we were back within an hour." Paul says, while I start to giggle. Sam and Emily come walking into the living room.

"Oh!!! I think I know!!" Emily states as I burst into laughter as Emily raises her eyebrows with a smile on her face. Both Sam and Paul look at her with a confused look on their faces. Until it clicks that Jared and Kim where having sex in the woods.

"Oh god, nope don't want to think about that." Sam says as we laugh. Not five minutes later Jared and Kim come walking through the door with cheesy grins on their faces. Making all of us burst into laughter. Kim and Jared look at us confused.

"Ok since you two have graced us with your presence again, can we get ready for the barbecue?" Paul says with a playful tone to his voice.

"You both must be starving after your time in the....woods." I say winking at Jared. Paul is bent over laughing. Jared shakes his head at me. Kim turns bright red and hides her face with her hands.

We arrive at Billy's house to see people already there and set up for the barbecue. I was surprised to see Bella sitting on a log talking to Jacob. "Babe what is she doing here?" I question my girlfriend with venom in my voice. As the girl that has caused her so much pain is sitting there like she has done nothing wrong.

"I'm not sure. I guess my uncle Charlie brought her with him." She says with annoyance in her voice. She pulled me into a kiss. "Hey, I love you!" She says, pulling me closer to her, so our bodies are pressed against each other. "But I will handle her!" she said kissing me again.

"I love you more babe!" I say to her, holding her to me. We walk over to everyone and say hello. Aleera walks over to Bella and says " Hello Bella, how are you?" I know that was fake, she could care less about the leech lover.

"I'm ok! I was hoping we could talk." Bella says as Jared walks up to me looking pissed as he stares at Bella.

"What the fuck is she doing here?" He asks pulling Kim closer. I shake my head at him. Jacob walks away from the girls.

"I wish I knew. But she is up to something." I state looking at my imprint ready to jump in if needed. 'I don't know what but she is and I know it has everything to do with Aleera's money.' I think as I watch them talk..

"What do you want to talk about?" I say to Bella with no emotion in my voice. Arms crossed over her chest.

"How do you know that Edward is a vampire?" She asks me with fear in her voice as she plays with her hands.

"That was easy, you talk in your sleep a lot about him. All I had to do was ask questions." I lie, like hell am I going to tell her that the pack told me about them. I sat on the log next to her.

"Oh!! I know you aren't happy with my choice in boyfriends, but I don't want to lose you at the same time. Edward said that you won't consider us family as long as I am with him. Is that true?" She asks, frowning at me. 'You mean you don't want to lose my money!' I mentally yell at her.

"Yes it's true I don't like him... Well it's more like I hate him." I state emotionless. "You have acted as if I am not your family since we came here. And it is all because of him. So as long as you are with him, it will remain that way. I will never be ok with you being with him solely for what he is and what he truly wants from you. You have put mine and Charlies life in danger for your own selfish reasons. He is a monster." I state glaring at her.

"He's not a monster. He doesn't hunt people." She says sadness in her voice while looking at the ground.

"Ever? He has never tasted human blood? Taken a human life." I question her, silence says it all. "Like I said he is a monster! And you don't care that you are putting Charlie and my life at risk." I say as Paul walks up to us.

"Aleera, babe time to eat." Paul says pulling me up from the log and away from Bella.

"Jared is everything ok?" Kim asked me as I glare at Bella. "Why are you glaring at the girl talking with Aleera? Who is she?" Kim asks, looking at her confused.

"That's Bella, Aleera's cousin. She's a blood sucking leech lover. She has also treated Aleera like shit since they moved back. I don't like her! You should stay away from her as well." I say with venom laced in my voice.

"She can't be that bad? Can she?" She asks, looking for Bella to me.

"The only reason Aleera is even talking to her is because her uncle Charlie is here, and she doesn't want to upset him." I state, still glaring at her.

"Aleera, babe time to eat." Paul says pulling me up from the log and into his arms.

"Yea...food." I say walking away with Paul. I turn and give him a kiss on the check. "I love you!" I say as we walk away from Bella.

"I love you too babe! What did she say to you?" Paul asks me as I look at him with a smirk.

"Like you didn't hear everything that was said." I laugh at him. He laughs and kisses my forehead.

"Take a drive with me?" He asks, I nod my head as he pulls me toward my car. The sun is setting, as we pull up to the beach. Paul picks me up and spins me around.

"I love you so much babe. Are you ready for your gift?" He says/asks pulling me into a kiss.

"I love you too. You didn't have to get me anything you know." I say holding him close to me.

"Like hell, I'm not going to get my girl a gift on her birthday." He says pulling out a small box from his shorts pocket and handing it to me. I open it up to reveal a silver wolf necklace.

"I love it!! Now I will always have you with me wherever I go." Pulling him into a passionate kiss, he groans as he pulls me closer.

"I'm so glad I don't have to share you anymore tonight." He says all husky.

"Mmm." I say kissing his neck, as he lets out a breath closing his eyes. "Same here." I say as it starts to sprinkle. "Let's take this back to my car." I say as I bit my bottom lip.

"Mmm... Now that sounds like a plan." Paul says while throwing me over his shoulder and slapping my ass as few times as he walks back to my car.

"Paul put me down!" I scream as I feel his hand move closer to my core.

"That's not going to happen babe." He says as he slides his hand up the inside of my thigh to my core. "No panties babe?" He questions rubbing my pussy. I moan as he puts two fingers inside of me. Moving them in and out of me "I think we'll go to the back seat." he says putting in a third finger. When we reach the car he removes his fingers and sets me down. I watch him stick his fingers in his mouth. "You taste so good babe." He says pinning me to the car and kissing me.

I open the passenger's side door and claim in the backseat, Paul gets in after me. I claim on his lap and kiss him with as much passion as I can as I unbutton his shorts. He flips me on my back, deepening the kiss.

I pulled his shirt over his head as his hand went up my thighs and pulled up my skirt. I start to tug Paul's shorts down. "I love you so much Aleera." He says as he eased himself into me. He groans as I moan his name.

"I Love you too Paul" I say kissing him. Slow and passionately he set his pace. "Paul faster please!" I moan out as he continues to go slow.

"No babe, I want to take it slow tonight." He says as he moans. He slowly starts to go faster. "Fuck baby, you are the most amazing person. I can't get enough of you." He states thrusting into me faster, as my orgasm comes closer. "Cum for me baby. I love feeling you!" He moans, pounding into me. I scream his name as I cum for him. He followed shortly after me moaning out my name.

"Happy birthday to me." I say kissing him. He laughs and kisses me back.
