Finding out that my best friend is really my brother was a shock to say the least. I have kept myself locked up in the house for the last few days. Just trying to get my head wrapped around it all. "Babe! You have to leave the house at some point. You can't keep avoiding everyone." Paul says pulling the covers off of me.

"Paul!! I just found out that my whole life was a lie! That the man I called dad was never my father and that my best friend is really my brother. And let not forget that I was kidnapped by people I thought care about me but only want my money... Oh and wanted to keep us apart." I say pulling the blanket back over my head.

"OK! Fine, you leave me no choice!" He says standing up and walking to the door. I pull the cover down and look at him as he walks out the door and Jared walks in. Sitting on the bed next to me. He slowly moves the blanket away from me

"Talk to me Aleera." Jared says looking at me with a pout.

"What am I supposed to talk about?" I ask, pulling the covers back over my head.

"Well let's start with... How do you feel about finding out that Jason is not your dad?" He say sitting more on the bed next to me and pulled the blanket away again.

"Mad... Sad... Pissed because no one told me the truth. Everyone made me believe that I belonged with this family. But in reality I belonged with a whole different family. I have a brother I never knew about. But I've known my whole life." I say as tears start to fall again as Jared pulls me into his arms and hugs me.

"I get what you mean. I mean me and you have always had that brother, sister relationship, but they felt the need to hide the fact that our father is a man whore and got two girls knocked up at the same time." He says with a laugh. "I am sad cause we lost a lot of time being brother and sister. I mean they took you away for 6 years and in those 6 years we only got to see you 3 times for a month. That is not enough time for family." He says pulling me into another hug.

"How am I supposed to look at Charlie?... Knowing that he helped them kidnap me. He took me away from my family and friends. And he is a police officer." I ask/say looking at Jared who looks mad about all of this.

"I don't know but when and if it does happen Me, Paul, The pack and The imprints will be by your side. And If I have to I'll show him who the big bad wolf really is!" He says as I laugh at me.

"Yeah! Cause Sam will let that happen!" I say with sarcasm as he just laughs at me shrugging his shoulders.

"I'll do anything to make sure my baby sister is happy!" He says pull me into a hug and kiss the top of my head.

"I love you Jar." I say still hugging him

"I love you too Aleera." He says, starting to stand up. "Now it is time to get up and out of this bed. We are going to the beach and Emily and Kim want you there... So move it." He says walking out of the door. I roll my eyes at him. Getting out of bed and moving to the bathroom as Paul walks in.

"Feeling better my Pup?" He asks, coming up behind me and pulling me to him.

"Yeah! A little bit. I am still mad and want answers but at least Jared doesn't hate me so that's a plus." I say turning around to face him.

"Jared could never hate you. He told me that himself. He loves you... You're his baby sister. His real baby sister. I always thought it was funny how you two acted but now it makes sense. It was never Jared acting like a big brother... It was Jared being your big brother." He says giving me a kiss.

"I love you my wolf!" I say kissing him again.

"I love you too my pup!" He says pulling away from me as I pout at him. "Don't give me that look... You have to get ready to leave before Emily and Kim come here and kidnap you." He says with a laugh as he walks out of our room.

"Paul how is Aleera doing with all that has been going on?" Embry asks with an unsure smile on his face. As we all walk up to the cliff.

"It has taken a toll on her. She was afraid Jared would hate her. Pissed about Charlie. Mad that she lost time with all of us." I say looking over the cliffs at the imprints. Aleera smiling and laughing with Emily and Kim.

"I would never hate her?" Jared says with a hurt look in his eyes as he looks down at the girls.

"She knows that now... But it wasn't just her life flipped upside down, it was yours too. I mean think about it 18 years thinking you're an only child, both parents gone and now you have a brother and a father you never knew you all because you phased. She is questioning if she didn't phase would she have ever known the truth! Would you ever know the truth?" I say/ask looking at everyone.

"Yeah!! I guess I can see it that way." Jared says still a little hurt about it all.

"Ok change of subject! You, Kim and Aleera are going to be graduating at the end of the Month. What do you want to do?" I ask Jared, he just shrugs his shoulders at me.

"Not a clue! ask the girls!" He says jumping off the cliff.

"How do you think he is handling everything?" Sam asks looking over the cliff.

"We talked and he was mad that on one told him that Aleera is in fact his sister and pissed at the time he lost with her. I mean I get it. I'm mad too,!" I say watching Seth jump. One by one we all jump. Getting out of the water to see Aleera walking up to me. "Hey pup! You ok?" I ask pulling her to me.

"Yeah! I am good." She says kissing me softly.

"Sorry to interrupt. We have a meet in a few with the leeches. I guess something happened. Bella would like Aleera there as well." Sam says, as I roll my eyes.

"Of course she does! Cause I refuse to bend to her every demand and now that I know the truth she is in for a rude awakening." I say with anger in my voice. Sam just smiles at me as Paul laughs.

"Well she is in for a surprise then isn't she?" Sam says with a laugh, I give a smug smirk and nod my head.

Waiting for the meeting I am pacing the backyard of Sam and Emily's place. I can't help but have anger towards Bella and Charlie. They took my sister away from me, they stole from her. They used her for their own personal gain. And to top it all of Jake is defending her. "Jake if you don't shut the fuck up and stop defending her I am going to rip you apart." I say with a growl at him.

"What? Am I the only one that thinks she didn't know?" Jake yells at everyone.

"They kidnapped my sister, your cousin, and stole from her. She has done nothing since she got her but to use Aleera for her own personal gain. And lets not forget she is playing you." I yell right back at him as Paul growls at him when Aleera walks outside.

"Jake enough! No one wants to hear it anymore." Aleera says with a growl walking over to me and Paul. "When do we have to leave?" Aleera asks looking at Sam.

"We have to leave in a few minutes. I don't want you to phase and no one is to think about Aleera in her wolf form. They don't need to know anything about her being a wolf. Jake this means you!" Sam orders in his alpha voice. As everyone bows their heads.

"Well let's get going?" Aleera says with a small smile. We all phase, I watch Paul walk to Aleera so she can claim up on his back. Arriving at the treaty line no one phases back into human form.

"Why did you call this meeting? The last time I checked we had nothing to talk about!" Aleera says with venom in her voice.

"We had an intruder in Bella's house, a Vampire intruder. We wanted you to come and check it out so you can know that they are not friends but foe." Edward says looking at Sam and then to Aleera. Paul and I growl at him. Sam nods his head.

'Jake go to Bella's and look around and report back once it is done.' Sam says through our mind link. Jake nods his head.

"We also want to see if you would help protect Bella... Take shifts guarding her house. So we can hunt?" Edward asks, looking at each member of the pack.

'That is something that we will have to talk about before we can give you an answer. Some things have come to light that need to be figured out first.' Sam says through mind link.

"I understand. Please let us know as soon as possible." Edward says as Sam nods his head and starts to turn around, Bella steps up and looks at Aleera.

"Aleera... I want to see if you wanted to come to dinner tonight? It has been awhile since we talked." Bella says with a small smile.

"No!" Aleera says with no emotion in her voice.

"Can I ask why not?" Bella asks with a sad look to her face. Edward glares and growls at Aleera.

"Because I don't want to be around people that took me away from my father and brother. Who stole me away from my real family and stole my money from me." Aleera says glaring at Bella.

"What are you talking about?" Bella says looking at the ground.

"You know what I am talking about Bella so stop playing dumb." Aleera as with a growl turning around and walking away without another word.
