Disclaimer: I do NOT own Jacob Black, several other characters, and several ideas.

Author's Note: IMPORTANT! I want to make this fairly clear. I am not exactly a Twilight fan (please don't kill me). Anyways, I loved the idea of the werewolf pack, Jacob Black (HUGE Taylor Lautner fan!), and a love story. I did not read the books and I only watched movies 1 through 3. I came up with this idea one night after researching the Twilight plot. I called this a "Semi-Love Story" because this is not just about Jacob Black finding his true love. This is a story about Jade finding out who she is and her families secrets, and during her journey she finds her true love Jacob Black. This is the first chapter and it contains A LOT of information, but not too much about Jacob. This chapter is mainly about Jade and how she meets Jacob and the Pack. Please bare with me. Also, the italics are thoughts. And P.S. The Cullens, Bella, and the Treaty do NOT exist!

Chapter 1

By: LooneyBalloon

Thump! Thump! Thump! Jade's heart beats faster and faster with every second of deafening silence. Her snowy white fur is matted and stained as the large, deep gashes covering her body continue to spew blood after every thump. Jade fights using every ounce of energy she has left to stay in her current form, for she knows transforming into her human form is suicide with her injuries. Jade's mind is foggy and her body is weak from the massive blood loss so, she prepares to die knowing she cannot fight off the enclosing stalkers of the night. "I was warned! I should've known! What choice did I have?" Her mind is spinning, but death seems inevitable to Jade.

With no warning, Jade is tackled to the ground by a large, gray and white wolf. This "wolf" is, in fact, not a wolf, but a werewolf. From shoulder to paw, these beasts stand six feet tall and is the most powerful animal in the world. To Jade's dismay, the gray and white werewolf is not alone. It is accompanied by six other werewolves of all different colors. Jade is surrounded by the pack with one standing on top of her and she has no chance for escape. A deep snarl fills Jade's already ringing ears as a females voice echoes throughout her brain. "What do you think you are doing in our territory!". Jade couldn't help but think that was not a question coming from the gray and white werewolf looming over her. Before she can answer, another voice invades her brain. A man's voice. "Release her Jenna!" He commands. This is the last thing Jade hears before her blood loss takes control and sends her into unconsciousness.

Inside a large room Jade is resting in a bed. The room has tan colored walls, brown wood furniture, and many knickknacks. Jade's torso, right arm, and right leg are tightly wrapped up in bandages. She breaks out into a cold sweat and begins thrashing in her bed. Before anyone hears her she jolts awake and sits straight up. She is panting, but her reality is not much better than the nightmare she just awoke from. Jade looks around frantically unaware of where she is, but her squirming quickly stops when pain surges throughout her body. Jade looks at her body and is completely shocked to see bandages covering the limbs of her human form. Her werewolf hearing quickly picks up on the faint sound of laughter. Curiosity takes control of her judgment and she wanders to the closest window only to lay eyes upon a group of 7 people horsing around in a nearby clearing.

An older man enters Jade's room on a wheelchair. He observes her and realizes there is something familiar about her. He can't quite place where he has seen this young woman before so, he shakes off the thoughts, and announces his presence to her. "Good morning. My name is Billy. How are you feeling?". Jade is startled and spins around to meet the eyes of this kind-eyed stranger.

"I should have heard him! I need to be more attentive. Stupid!" Jade scolds herself through her thoughts. "I'm fine. My name is Jade. Where… Am I?" Jade is cautious. She knows this man is in a wheelchair, but that does not mean she should not be skeptical of the man.

"You are in La Push. You have been out for two days now. Can you not remember anything?" Billy kindly asks Jade. Billy continues to ponder who Jade is as he studies her facial features. His mind is blank.

"I remember just fine thank you. Two days, huh? That's a long time... I don't want to be rude, but you wouldn't happen to have anything for me to eat, would you?" Jade reply's with the same kindness Billy is giving her. She didn't want to be rude, nor get on his bad side. Billy does have seven werewolves in his corner. Jade is strong, but not that strong.

"Emily is actually putting together lunch as we speak. She should be done soon. I'll take you to the kitchen to meet the gang." Billy wears a huge smile on his face. He is genuinely surprised Jade is not fighting being at Sam's home. He knows that werewolves are known to be temperamental, picky, and territorial. Billy may not understand Jade, but he isn't going to encourage her to bring about a bad attitude. "I'll wait outside for you to get ready."

The door closes and Jades looks herself over in the mirror to take an assessment of the damage. She cannot believe how badly she looks. Her hair is messy. Her torso, right arm, and right leg are tightly wrapped with slight blood stains showing through. Her left arm and leg are covered with bruises, scrapes, and scratches. Her face is also covered in bruises and cuts. Jade may think she looks bad, but the reality is she is still unbelievably beautiful. Jade runs her fingers through her hair, shakes her head and glances around the room. She finds her torn up, bloody clothes in one pile, and a clean, fresh set of clothes right next to them. The tight tank top hugs her curves and the sweat pants give her a sense of comfort.

Jade opens the door to find a patiently waiting Billy. He looks up at her and smiles brightly. As Jade follows Billy to the kitchen, she is careful to notice every detail in each room they walk past. Billy and Jade follow the sound of laughter echoing throughout the house. The hallway opens up to a large room with windows for walls. Half of the room is the living room and the other half is the kitchen. Jade stares in awe at the beauty Sam's house emits. Billy clears his throat to signal everyone to be quiet. This noise, or lack of noise, snaps Jade back into reality. She glances around the room to see eleven people standing around eating, laughing, and chatting. Billy begins, "Jade, this is Sam, Emily, Quill, Embry, Jenna, Caroline, Logan, Jacob, Mandy, Adam and Kenzee. Guys, this is Jade. I assume you remember who she is." Billy pauses to observe, but shortly continues. "This is Sam and Emily's house. Sam is our resident alpha." Sam, Quill, Embry, Adam, Jacob, Jenna, and Mandy are the werewolves who make up the Native American Pack. Jade is intrigued to find that the Native American Pack symbol (also known as a tattoo) is also imbedded in her skin.

"Why is my symbol on my hip and their symbol on their shoulder?" Jade wonders to herself. Jade begins to take notice to the way each person looks. The entire pack has the same tanned skin and chiseled bodies. Standing in at six feet, Sam is a man in his early thirties with short, brown hair that lies flat against his head. Emily is a short, beautiful Native American woman around Sam's age. She has long black hair that caresses her scarred left cheek. Quill, Adam, and Embry look like younger, shorter versions of Sam. However, Adam has a long, thick scar that begins at his neck, goes through his symbol, and ends at his elbow. "Curious…" Jade then takes notes on Jenna and Mandy. Jenna and Mandy are five foot seven twins with long, sandy brown hair. Jade recognized Jenna as the werewolf that pounced on her in the forest. Kenzee and Caroline are white girls around Jade's age and height which is twenty-two years old and five foot three. Kenzee has long, blonde, curly hair and Caroline is a red head with a bob. Logan is a white guy that stands in at five foot ten, and has short, spiky blonde hair. Jade continues to scan the crowd when her eyes land on the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on. He is standing alone in the back of the room. Jade feels a strong attraction to him, but she can't help but feel Jacob is avoiding her. "Five foot nine. Short, spiky brown hair. Hot body… Angel on Earth…" Jade mentally notes about Jacob.

It takes two minutes for Jade to complete her mental notes. During those two minutes, an awkward silence loomed through the room. However, Logan quickly intervened. "Come on. Let's all eat!" It doesn't take too much convincing for the group to quickly dig into Emily's fine cooking. Jade is standing among the chaos eating her food when Logan continues to talk to her. "Hey Jade. You know, I understand how you feel. I am the newest member of this chaos. Mandy and I met when we ran into each other during a hike. I ask her on a date, and later find out she is a werewolf and imprinted on me. Don't get me wrong. I love her to death, but it was a lot to take in. You're a werewolf too, yeah? Ehhh, you have nothing to worry about. You'll get used to them and they will get used to you too… Everyone has their own story you know. Emily is Sam's fiancée. Quill and Caroline. Embry and Jenna. Adam and Kenzee. All imprinted silly fools that are madly in love. Ha!... Poor Jacob though… He hasn't found anyone yet, but…"

"Would you shut up Logan! You are babbling again!" Emily interrupts. "Leave the poor girl alone. I'm sure she will adjust here just fine, but, if you keep up the blabbing, she might just pull out that pretty, wavy brown hair of hers."

"Sorry, I just get talking sometimes and I can't stop." Logan sheepishly admits.

"Yes, sweetie. We all know that." Mandy jokingly tells Logan with a wink. Logan glares at her, but Mandy throws her arms around him and plants a soft kiss on his cheek. This quickly softens Logan's glare.

Daylight soon turned to moonlight. The group has been warming up to Jade all night, but Jade continues to notice that Jacob is avoiding her at all costs. She rather hates it because Jacob is the one she wants to talk to the most. "Hmmm… I wonder what his deal is!" Jade is quickly pulled from her thoughts by Sam's authoritative voice.

"Patrol time! Let's get this over with." Sam sounds bored. Almost as if he doesn't want to go out tonight.

"Can I go with?" Jade asks Sam.

"Not yet." Sam simply answers. Jade is crushed, but she understands. She watches in jealousy as the pack runs into the deep, dark forest.
