DESTINED BY FATE

Chapter 1 ~ Unbreak my heart

There was a strange feeling in the air as the sun dipped below the horizon and disappeared through the trees of La Push, Washington, leaving the forest to look dark and some would say eerie. As Jacob Black strolled back into the Black residence, exhausted and irritated after his Patrol shift, taking no notice of Billy who as seated in his wheelchair, on the opposite side of the room, his brows furrowed in concern as he look over the piece of paper that just arrived a few minutes before by post, it was an invitation to Edward Cullen and Isabella Swan's wedding, normally Billy would have been happy for his Best friend, who's daughter just happened to be the bride to be. But in this instant his concern was more directed to his son who was crazy in love with Bella.

It was the usual love triangle that many unlucky people had to endure during their lives, but what made this was different from the rest, was that Edward Cullen just happened to be a Vampire while Jacob Black was a shifter … a protector of their land; both were in love with the clumsy human who lived in Forks.

Jake was bent over the shelves of the fridge as he dug around for something to eat, pulling out a plate of left over dinner Sue Clearwater had brought by a couple of days before, He threw it all onto a plate and slid the plate into the microwave, before finally turning to face his father, realising that Billy had yet to even greet Jake.

"What ya got there, Dad?" Jake asked, his brows rising curiously, as Billy quietly wheeled his chair over to his Son, Jake towered over his dad, taking the piece of paper that Billy offered him, not saying anything just watching his son with concern.

Jake's eyes scanned the paper as he felt his heart break, anger coursing through his veins, how could they do that, were they seriously trying to kill him is the thoughts that ran through his head, the anger mixed with hurt and heartbreak causing Jake to start shaking violently, he knew it he had to get out of there, and away from here, away from … away from them, dropping the invitation to the floor, the food in the microwave suddenly forgotten as he took off for the front door, knowing the danger of phasing to close to humans, he didn't want to phase, it meant the rest of his pack would hear his thoughts, and make comments of their own, especially Paul Lahote, the big, slivery wolf of the pack, who also happened to be the most volatile, he always had to have a say, and he didn't care about the response, Paul was always the one to be countered as the first in a fight, but lucky for Jake, Paul wasn't on patrol today, it was his day off, it was actually Leah Clearwater and Brady Fuller who had the night patrols.

Billy watched as the paper fell from Jake's hand, and his son took off without a word, "JACOB" Billy screamed, but it was too late, his son phased, and darted for the trees, the only light illuminating the forest was the rays from the moon, Billy sighed deeply, as he leaned forward to grab the paper off the floor, and wheeled himself inside, straight for the phone, he picked it up and dialled the all too familiar number of Sam Uley. Sam was the Alpha … the Wolf in charge.

"Billy" Came Sam's concerned voice, he had been expecting Billy's call all day, as he had heard from Seth that an invitation to Bella and Edward's wedding were sent out.

"It's Jacob" Billy sighed, concern laced in his voice. "We got the invitation in the post today" He informed the younger Wolf.

"He'll be okay, Billy. Jake's strong." Sam tried to reassure Billy. "I'll phase and see if I can talk to him" Sam said a quick goodbye to Billy and hung up, pulling Emily swiftly into his arms, as he kissed her gently, feathering a few kisses over her scars.

"I'll be back as soon as I can. I love you, Em" Sam smiled softly before heading to the door, leaving a concerned Emily watching after him, she loved the Pack and some would even call her the 'Pack Mom' she always made sure her boys were fully fed, and she was even there for the imprints too, though the only other imprints were Kimberly Conweller and Emily's niece Claire. Once Sam had disappeared from the back door, Emily carried on with dinner, leaving it in the oven until her fiancé arrived back, hopefully with good news about Jake.

Sam stepped out of the house, and in a swift motion before he even got to the edge of the woods, he had stripped out of his clothes and phased, shouting to Brady and Leah who were arguing to just 'Shut it' before picking up on Jake's thoughts. He ordered the remaining Wolves to phase back so he could talk 'Privately' to Jacob as he searched out Jake's scent, dodging the fallen trees and jumping over bushes as his four paws dug into the moist dirt, he found Jake within no time, flopped at the end of the forest, by the cliffs.

"Just go away, Sam" Jake growled lowly, Sam ignored the attitude as he collapsed next to his fellow Pack mate, he hated thinking of himself as their 'Boss' and always tried to just be their friend. "

If you need some time away, its okay Jake … Go, clear your head, we can handle things here at the moment". Jake lifted his big head off his front paws tilting his head slightly in surprise at Sam.

"Are you sure" Sam let out a soft whine to indicate to Jake that he meant it, before jumping back on his paws, taking off towards Billy to let him know what had happened, he glanced back once more at Jake.

Jacob took off, past his house, grateful that he had hidden some clothes near the end of the forest for emergencies; he wasn't sure where he was going to go, but needed to get away from La Push. He spent the rest of the evening in wolf form, and was grateful for the silence he as he got further and further away from the pack, he could no longer hear the bickering or the concern … there was just silence, he had a lot to think about, and without even realising it, his thoughts drifted to how his Dad must have felt when Sarah died, Soon Bella would be dead to him too, and it was a feeling he couldn't describe, a soft whine rang from his snout as his thoughts drifting from his Dad to his twin sisters, he missed Rachel and Rebecca more than he had willingly admitted to anyone and he longed to see them again, they had been the one's to had made it bearable when his mom died, they had reassured him how much she loved him, and how he would never be alone, suddenly without a thought Jake jumped up, grateful he had taken a spare pair of clothes with. He knew just where he needed to be.
