Chapter 18
With the help of Seth, Old Quil and Billy were moved into a far corner of the dining area, away from the gale force winds which were blowing in behind the deranged female in the doorway.
Kim was behind Jared and he could feel her shaking in fear. Leah had moved in front of Andrew while Jacob was hovering over his injured and newly pregnant mate. Charlie had Sue behind him, his hand on his sidearm, which he’d started carrying with him after the prophecy was first explained.
Embry and Quil had moved themselves in a position that left no room for her to get further into the house, while Paul and Sam protected Bella. Once all the players were in place, Bella gripped the backs of Sam and Paul’s shirts, glaring at the bitch in her doorway.
Emily smiled, “Isn’t this cozy. I’m not interrupting am I?”
“What the fuck do you want?” Bella growled as much as she could being a human.
Sam turned his head sharply and glared at her. “Bella...”
“Well, I’m here for my Sammy. You didn’t think I’d let you keep him did you?” Emily strode forward, but stopped short at the growls from Quil and Embry. “Let me tell you a story, you man stealing whore. When I was fifteen I met the man I knew I was going to marry, unfortunately he was dating my cold hearted bitch of a cousin. She didn’t deserve someone as wonderful and beautiful as Sam, so I made it my mission to get him out of her clutches. But then my stupid mother had to go and die.
“When I was able to make it back, things were so different. I was able to follow people around and learned the tribe’s secrets. I saw Sam, Paul and Jared phase one day and knew that was my way to Sam. If I’d known about imprinting I would have stayed away from Paul altogether, but I wanted Sam so I flirted with his friends to make him jealous.”
Paul growled. Although he was with Bella now and knew what Emily had done, it still hurt.
“Aw, Paulie, don’t think I didn’t know Bella was who you wanted. In the beginning, when you were fucking me it was her name you called out. I never commented on it and I don’t think you knew. But it was fine with me, because it was Sam whose body I wanted connected to mine, his cock I wanted inside me, his name that fell from my lips.”
Bella made a gagging noise, “Lord, I think I’m gonna be sick.”
Emily giggled, but the sound was like fingers on a chalkboard. “Oh, Bella, you know what it's like to be with him. It must be magnificent. I’ve seen him after the phase, it must be so pleasurable to feel that moving inside you,” she moaned at the thought.
All the wolves in the room made choking sounds as her arousal blew through on the wind.
“I’m sorry, Daddy.” Bella apologized before staring down the woman who was a threat to her future. “You’re right, Emily. I know how it feels to have him inside me, filling me with his seed and allowing it to take root. But not only do I know how Sam feels, I know Paul too and he feels just as amazing.”
“Bella, please stop antagonizing the crazy bitch in the door. There are four pregnant women here, remember?” Leah felt Andrew’s hand come around to cover her belly.
“I remember, Leah. Emily just needs to get to the fucking point already.”
With a sneer, Emily reached behind her back and pulled out a Colt1911. “How’s this for my point?” She waved the gun around, firing a rogue shot which planted itself in the wall above where the two elders were huddled with Seth. Kim, Angela and Sue screamed at the loud gunshot, huddling further behind the men protecting them.
“Oh, sorry,” Emily cackled. “Did that scare you?” She brought the gun up and stroked it lovingly. “Isn’t she a beaut? Holds one in the chamber and seven in the clip. I’ve had to reload her of course, after I shot my father with it. Can you believe he was trying to stop me from getting my man?”
Charlie had pulled his sidearm and was aiming it at the crazy woman who was a threat to his wife, daughters and grandchildren. “Put the gun down, Emily.”
She swung around wildly again to stare at the Chief, another shot ringing out. A loud grunt was heard before the sound of a body falling to the ground and Bella screaming.
“PAUL!” She fell to her knees beside him, pressing her hand to the right side of his chest, on his pectoral. Kim tossed her the towel that had been in her hands from them doing the dishes and Bella used it to put pressure on his wound. “Talk to me, baby.”
Paul groans, “I’m okay, Kitten.”
“Isn’t that sweet.” Emily sneered, before looking back at Sam. “You still want her, even after she’s been with him?”
“She’s my life, Emily.” Sam told her, “I never wanted you.” Those words set off the next chain of events that would haunt the pack and imprints for years to come.
Emily screamed in outrage and disbelief and fired another shot, this one deliberately. Jacob howled in agony as the force of the bullet hit him in the gut sending him falling backward onto his imprint. Jared managed to catch him before they all tumbled to the floor, while keeping Kim and Angela protected behind him.
Emily got off two more wild shots, shattering windows before her next three slammed into Sam’s chest. Bella watched in horror as he fell to the floor, choking on his own blood. Charlie had fired three times, two hitting Emily center mass and the third right between her eyes.
“SAM!” Bella screamed, her eyes not leaving her husband. “Embry, get over here! Quil, go get the kit out of the bathroom! Sue, help me.” Moving away from Paul as Embry took over holding the towel to his wound.
Bella looked at Sam and assessed his wounds, “Sam? Honey, talk to me.”
Quil slid to his knees beside Bella, opening the emergency kit she had prepared when the prophecy was first explained. Sue immediately started grabbing supplies to staunch the blood flow from the bullet wounds in his chest. She prayed to the spirits that the Alpha wouldn’t be lost and thanked Taha Aki that Emily was a horrible shot.
Bella looked at her husband’s chest, he had one shot going into his left lung area and the other two were right above his heart. “Oh, dear Lord, please let them have missed.” Bella grabbed her stethoscope and listened to Sam’s chest. “Fuck,” listening as he gasped for breath and choked on his own blood. “Sue, he needs a chest tube.” She leaned over his face and looked into his eyes. “Sam, listen to me. I’m gonna cut into your side and put a tube in the hole so you can breathe, baby. I need you to stay with me.”
“Just...do it...Bel...la...” he choked out.
Bella took the scalpel Sue handed her and made a small cut between Sam’s fifth intercostal space. Once that was done, blood came pouring out of his chest cavity as she pushed the tube Sue handed her into place. Sam immediately started breathing easier just as the sirens of the approaching ambulance and police could be heard.
“Quil, give me some tape so I can keep the tube in place.” Quil followed Sue’s instructions and handed Bella piece after piece until she was satisfied it was secure. “Paul? How’re you doing, babe?”
“I’m okay. It’s already healing.” Paul said through clenched teeth.
“Let me check, Paul.” Sue got up and moved to look at the other wolf, while Bella continued working on Sam. After checking him over, she ran over to check on Jacob. Kim moved the towel she was holding over his stomach away so Sue could inspect it. Jacob was clenching his teeth, in obvious pain. “Bella, Jake’s gonna need surgery.”
Bella looked over at her stepmother and nodded. “Okay, we’re gonna need all hands on deck. Nathan is the only fulltime doc on staff, so we’ll have to call the part timer. I’m not qualified for surgery, the chest tube was a stretch.” She looked back at her husband, just as his eyes rolled back in his head. “Sam?” She tapped his cheek. She put her head down over his heart, “NO! SAM!” She immediately started chest compressions. “Sue, help me!”
Sue and Bella worked furiously on Sam until the paramedics came in and took over. By that time, Paul’s wound had healed almost completely and he wrapped his arms around his wife so Sam could get more help.
Jacob was loaded onto a stretcher and taken out with Jared carrying Angela behind them. Sam was loaded up as well, while paramedics continued life saving measures. At that point, Bella was inconsolable, praying to all the spirits and anyone else who would listen that Sam wasn’t taken away from her and their unborn child.
Just before the ambulance drove away, Paul leaned down and whispered in her ear. “I can hear it, baby. I heard his heart beating.”
With the help of Seth, Old Quil and Billy were moved into a far corner of the dining area, away from the gale force winds which were blowing in behind the deranged female in the doorway.
