The Tribirds Mate (a Jasper Whitlock/hale love story

Chapter 21

When I woke up again I noticed an arm around my waist. Paul was still asleep. I gently shook Paul and he woke up. I said "we have to go meet sam and the others." Paul said "5 more minutes I was comfortable." I said "fine but if we get in trouble I'm blaming you." I laid back down next to Paul and laid on his chest. Paul asked "what happened in your past? You don't have to tell me if you are not ready." I said "not yet but I will tell you when the time is right." We get up out of bed and walk out to his truck. We got in and started to drive to where I assume to be sames place. Once we got there I noticed it was a cabin. Paul helped me out of the truck and we walked inside. I notice a small kitchen with a women that had tan skin and long black hair pulling something out of the oven. When she turned around she had long scars on her face but she was still beautiful. She said "Paul is this the girl that everyones been talking about. Are you going to introduce me to her she looks like shes about to have an anxiety attack." Paul said "Emerald this is Emily she Sam's wife. Emily this is Emerald she's the tribird everyones been talking about." I smacked him and said "Don't have to be so rude to her. Its nice to meet you Emily and you can call me Em." Emily smiled and said "let's get you something that might fit a little bit better than the baggy sweats." I nodded and went with her. She pulled me up the stairs and into i am guessing her room. she pulled out some jeans and a shirt. She handed them to me and said "these should fit and you can change in the bathroom." I said "thank you for the cloths." Emily smiled and said "you are quiet welcome us girls have to stick together. come down when you are done." I nodded and went into the bathroom. I quickly got changed and slipped paul sweater back on. I made my way back down the stairs.

I went into the kitchen and sat at the table where all the guys were sitting. They were making jokes about everything. I sat there listening to everything. I felt a hand on mine under the table. I looked up and found Paul look at me. Emily said "Emerald why do you help me in the kitchen." I nodded and said "Sure," Emily had me helping make food for the pack and i was feeling at ease with her. Sam came in not long after we started making the food. Sam said "Emerald what did the cullens want you to do." I took a deep breath and said "they wanted me to be the messenger because I was mated to both Jasper and Paul. I told them I wasn't getting involved. I also told them that would set up a meeting between you and them, That I was staying the hell out of it." Sam said "I will meet with them and you are to stay out of it. I want you to be able to trust us and me to know what you have been through." I said "can I trust that this does not leave between us. I want to tell Paul when I am ready." Emily said "this stays between us and nobody else sweety." I said "I was tortured after I was made into the tribird, My creator tried to get rid of my wolf and witch side of me. I ended up killing him in order to escape. I am covered in scars from it and I sufffer horrible nightmare of it.." Emily hugged me and Sam said "you have nothing to worry about her we are a pack and we will protect you. I am sorry that you had to go through that but you chose to survive and your wolf protected you." I said "she protected me and now it seems like she wants to continue protecting me when we shift." Sam nodded and went back to where everyone has been sitting. I went back to helping emily cook. It was fun to be able to cook with someone. When we were done cooking we fed everyone. I was sitting there eating when I noticed that it was getting late. I said to Sam "I think I should head home. I need to settle things at the hous." Sam said "here is my number if you ever need anything or just need a friend. Emily and I are always here for you." I said "Thank you for everything Sam and I will be in touch," I looked at Paul and asked "would you mind giving me a lift home over the treaty line, I have to get home and Deal with some unhappy vampires." Paul said "sure." Paul and I walked put of the house to his truck. I got in and we drove towards my house.

When we got to my house I turned to Paul and said "I will text you later and don't worry I will be fine." Paul said "I have to worry about you it's my job and I just want you to know that I am always here for you no matter what." I leaned over and kissed his cheek before opening my door and getting out. I walked up to the house and turned to see Paul pulling out of the drive way. I took a deep breath before walking into the house. I walked into the house and saw all three of them sitting at the kitchen Island. I walked past them not even saying anything to them I needed some quiet time to gather my thoughts. I went up to my room and took a long hot shower to get the smell of the pack off of me even though I was going to keep Pauls sweater. When I was done my shower I walked into my closet and grabbed a pair of comfy pant and an old t shirt I will have to wash Emily's clothes. I will take them back to her the next time that I see her. I plugged my phone in after sending message to Sam saying that I was home safely and that I was heading to bed. I then crawled in bed and fell into a deep sleep. The next morning when I woke up I got ready for the day. It was Friday and I was going to the Rez to go to a bon fire this evening to hear the legends of their tribe. I walked over to the closet looking through the outfits to see what would be warm enough. As I was in the closet there was a knock on my door. I walked over to my bedroom door and opened it. When I opened the door I came face to face with Melody. Melody said "please don't shut the door. I brought you your morning tea and I wanted to apologize for what happened yesterday, We didn't think you would react like that. We just thought it would be easier if you talked to the pack instead of us." I said "you all knew my past so why would you put me into that uncomforable situation I may be part wolf but I am still a person that has been through hell. I already talked to Sam. He has agreed to meet with you and I am to stay out of the meeting. He said it was not my place to come in between." Melody said "Can you forgive me and the others for how we treated you." I said "I forgive you because you came up here not know know how I would react and apologized. I have get ready to head back to the rez. They are having a bonfire tonight and invited me to hear their legends of the tribe." Melody handed me the mug of tea and asked "would you like some help it looks like I caught you in the middle of picking out an outfit." I said "I could use some help, if you don't mind." Melody smiled and said "I would love to." I opened my door wider and let her in. I went back to my closet to look through the cloths. Melody followed me into the closet. She pulled out a pair of black jeans, a band T-shirt and my combat boots that would go with the outfit. I said "how did you do that with out thinking about it." Melody said "I just picked out what I thought would go best with where you were going tonight." I said "thank you." I went into the the bathroom and changed into the outfit. I walked back out and saw she pulled out a hoody that would go with it. I pulled that over the t-shirt and pulled out the boots while drinking my tea. Melody was sitting on the bed while I was putting on my shoes. Melody asked "Are you going to be home after the bon fire?" I said "I should be if Sam doesnt want to work on me shifting tomarrow if he does I might as well stay at Pauls." Melody said "Jasper and you need to work this out. He's miserable with out you and I can see it is starting to take a toll on you but you put on this tough act when I know that you are starting to crumble." I sat there thinking about what she said but the truth is I was starting to feel the effect of him not being around. I said "I will talk to Jasper and Alice later I just need to clear my head." Melody said "when you left yesterday he was really worried about you." I nodded and finished putting my boots on.
