A/N: Here is the promised sequel to Full Moon. This story has been rolling around in my head since day one and I am so excited to finally be writing it! Full Moon was written from Nessie's point of view. Now we get a peek into Jacob's mind. The story will jump back and forth between present and past events, so stick with me. We'll also get a glimpse of what happened during Jake's captivity in Volterra. Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~Prologue~~~~~~~~~~
The air was cool and refreshing against my warm skin. I took a moment to stretch my neck, listening to the sounds around me, the chirps and squeaks of the forest. Every animal called out a greeting, a reassurance that the vampires had pulled back for the time being. I closed my eyes and pictured my wolf. It never left. Always present. Always waiting to reappear. It growled its own greeting inside my head and I didn't hesitate.
I leaped and changed in midair. Oh yeah! I still had it! I never should have doubted. My wolf, Alpha Wolf of the Quileute Tribe was always ready.
I charged into the forest, searching with my mind for my lost wolf cub. After searching fruitlessly among the people, it became clear to both of us. The fevers, the mood swings … it wasn't teenage rebellion or human illness. It was the change.
It was beginning again.
After fifteen years of searching for the vampires that had captured and tortured us, it was finally happening. They were coming to us … to our turf.
They were either incredibly stupid or had some incredible plan that we could not see.
Either way, I was grateful for the home field advantage.
What I couldn't accept was that my son would become part of our fight.
He was too young, not even sixteen. He'd tell me I'm a hypocrite. He knows well my own history and our legends.
I can't help it. He's my son. I can't lose him.
He can't hide forever. He's not far now. I can sense him. I can hear his torrent of thoughts. He's confused. He's in pain. He feels alone and angry. I am instantly transported to my own change. I know these feelings well. My path has come full circle.
I just hope he'll accept my help.
