Summary: Bella goes to confront Jacob after he ignores her after the movie incident. When she sees him Jacob imprints on Bella and their destinies are forever intertwined.
Chapter One: Bella, I'm a Werewolf.
Over the past three weeks I've come to a realization: I'm falling in live with Jacob Black. It all started when I went to him for help; he took me in when I was at my darkest and slowly but surely he began to piece me back together; Jacob is fixing my heart, and one day I want to give it him. Jacob saved me and made me realize what a fool I'd been when I was with him.
I may be falling in love but I'm mad at him; correction, I'm mad at Sam Uley and then Jacob.
It's been three weeks since our movie night, three weeks, and he hasn't called. I haven't seen or heard from Jacob once. I was worried that he was too sick to be around and that he isn't getting better but yesterday I came up with the only true obstacle: Sam. The only reasonable conclusion is that Jacob has been dragged into Sam's "gang." Jacob had been scared of them, they've gotten to him, and there probably forcing him to stay away.
I would be breaking down because Jacob left but it's not his fault; Jacob isn't like him. He is the only thing that has pulled me out of my depression, and I will not lose him to Sam Uley. I can't handle losing Jacob. I'm going to see Jacob today, my Jacob, he was with me first and Sam can't have him. I don't care if I have to fight for Jacob; he has saved me and its time I do the same for him. I walked downstairs, and grabbed my keys.
"I'm going down to La Push. I'll be home late dad, you should probably order out tonight".
"Okay, you and Jake got everything settled?" questioned Charlie as he watched me get ready.
"No, but I'm about to fix it. I'm worried at I'm not sit back and let something bad happen"
I drove to La Push at record speeds and stationed myself on the road across from Jacob's house. He couldn't come home without seeing me and I wouldn't miss Sam either; both of them have something coming, well not Jacob but Sam sure as hell does. I sat and tried to keep calm. I brought a book with me to pass my time; about half an hour has passed and I watch intently as Billy came out to talk to me; his face is a range of emotions, the most noticeable to me is guilt.
"Bella, Jake isn't home" said Billy dismissively, that is very frustrating to hear.
"I know Billy, I'm not here for Jacob yet, I'm here for Sam. I'm willing to wait until he comes to see Jacob". Jacob isn't the one to blame, Sam is.
"It might be a while".
"I know but don't forget Billy I owe Sam". I don't care if I have to wait from here to eternity to give that bastard a piece of my mind.
Billy let out a sigh, nodded his head and left with a frown; he knows things are going to get difficult, and right now I don't care. Every few minutes I looked up to see if anyone was coming, every here and there I'd catch a glimpse of Billy looking at me. We'd have our silent battle of wills, I'd win, and he'd frown and leave the window.
After an hour I saw Jacob walking towards my car, finally I'd get to be with him again.
"Bells…" said my Jacob as our eyes meet, for the first time in a long time I felt complete.
-Break (Jacob P.O.V.)
I walked to her truck as she stepped out and I looked her dead in the eyes…
Heat rushed through me as I looked into her eyes, it is nothing like the heat I constantly feel, it is something much greater than I am. It's a glowing light in a dark world that illuminates all that is dark in my mind. All the lines that hold me to this world and life I feel them break and wither, it feels like someone took everything away; everything that makes me who I am, my love for my family, my loyalty to my pack, my hatred for my enemies, my home, my name, and anything else I've held near and dear, disconnected from me in a matter of seconds, all I've ever known has faded into nothingness.
As everything faded from me all I saw was her, my Bella, my beautiful Isabella Marie Swan. As the strings that held me to this world faded I felt something click, something new holds me where I am now. I can't call it a string, no it is not like the string that bound me to my father or pack; this is more like a million threads, each one filling my mind of only her. It's as if a million steel cables are tying me to her, she is the very center of the universe, of my universe. Gravity no longer ties me to the place where I stand. It is Bella who holds me now; everything I am is now hers and hers alone.
Oh god, I just imprinted, either I'm very lucky or this is a good dream.
"Jacob," as she spoke I felt my soul burst with joy, her being here makes me happier then I have been in a while, "You joined Sam's gang? Jake, is everything okay?"
The concern in her eyes was both joyous and heart breaking; she doesn't need to ever be concerned, she only needs to feel loved and protected by me.
"Everything's fine Bells. I've been sick but I'm better now". She smiled and it only made me feel happiness.
I could feel Sam approaching with the rest of the pack. Dammit they'd seen us, and they probably don't understand. My pack brothers all walked out of the woods and up towards us. Sam as usual is leading the way, Paul and Jared flanking him, Embry, Quil, and Seth not to far behind. I felt Bella tense and grab hold of my arm; in any other moment I'd revel in her touch, but now I need to talk to Sam.
"Jake, we need to go" said Bella pleadingly as she tried to pull me towards my house.
"Sam I imprinted" where the first words to leave my mouth as my Alpha and pack stood a few feet away.
Comprehension donned on all of my brothers and I let out a sigh of relief but I still felt Bella tense. I forgot: in her eyes Sam and the other are still the 'bad guys'. I never wanted to tell her about this but she is my imprint, she has to know, the sooner the better. I can feel my fear rising up; I'm afraid she'll be scared of me but this is my Bella, she's good with weird, after all she dated a leech.
Sam's face is hard; he looked at me and then Bella. "Are you sure?" What type of god forsaken question is that? Of course I'm sure, I just felt everything in my world shift to her, and of course I'm sure.
"Yes. I'm sure" I grounded out, trying not to get angry at him for daring to question my love for Bella.
"You imprinted? What? Jacob Black you tell me what he's done to you?" Bella pointed her finger at Sam; the hate in her voice was something I didn't think she was possible of.
"Bella" said Sam with a nod, "How about you and Jacob go talk, I'm sure he has a lot to say"
Thanks a lot Sam.
"All right" said Bella. She glared at Sam one more time and stumbled in an attempt to leave; I caught her and placed her on her feat.
Sam looked at me with a grin, the guys are going to have a field day with this, I've loved Bella since infancy and now I know she will be forever mine. I didn't say a word and rushed after Bella; I caught up and took her hand in mine. She took my hand and squeezed it with all her might, she looked up and smiled at me, I can die a very happy man now.
We entered my house, I heard my pack brothers leaving, probably heading after a new trail in the forest that the red-head has been leaving.
"Bella I know I got a lot of explaining to do-".
"Yes, you do" said Bella interrupting me, "You. Didn't. Call. I've been worried, and Sam and his cult being here is indication that I have every right to be worried".
She is definitely mad but once she sees the truth she'll let it go, hopefully. I heard my dad's bedroom door close as I guided Bella to my living room and sat her down on the couch. As I sat her down I was going to let go of her hand but she wasn't having any of it. I let out a sigh and sat down next to her, she leaned in close and I couldn't help but be happy by her closeness.
"I need answers Jacob" she whispered, "I can't lose you, I won't let Sam have you because you're too important to me".
I felt my heart swell with joy, but I pushed it back, I need to do what has to be done.
"Do you remember the stories I told you at First Beach? When you first got here? About the bloo- I mean, vampires".
Bella's face dropped, that filthy leech had hurt my imprint and nearly broken her, and she looked back up and then smiled. I knew she was the one long before I phased and tried to fix her but now the universe has deemed me fit to be with her and I'll be everything she will ever need and want.
"Of course," She said, "just silly old stories".
"You and I both know that isn't true", she gasped and her eyes widened, "I know and so does Sam"
"J-j-Jake" she stuttered adorably.
"That doesn't matter now" I told her to calm her down, "What matters now is you and me".
She blushed a lovely shade of red and I now realized the intimacy of our situation, it isn't something physical it far transcends that, I'm about to give myself to her and I hope she accepts me.
"How do you know the truth?" She asked in a whisper.
"Do you remember the one about my people being descendants of wolves?" I asked her, hoping she would catch my drift.
"Bits and pieces" she smiled but I could tell she is full of doubt.
"Those stories weren't legends; you obviously know that, because of the Cullen's," She looked at me, still shocked that I know the truth, "the Quileute's turn into werewolves when there are vampires in the area. They're our mortal enemies"
I looked at her, waiting for her to understand, but sadly she still looked confused: even confused she looks adorable.
"I'm a werewolf, Bella". I closed my eyes and waited for the single most painful thing she can ever do to me: reject me. Please don't scream and run. Please don't scream and run. Please don't scream and run, are the only words I can think of.
I opened my eyes and looked at her, it looked like she believed me, and she wasn't running away and screaming.
"Do you want me to leave? Did Sam do this to you? Did he turn you into a werewolf by biting you and the others?" she whispered her head down her body shaking with unshed tears.
I embraced her as tightly as possible while making sure not to hurt her.
"I never want you to leave me and no, that biting thing is strictly a myth. Sam didn't turn me into a wolf, I was born this way: my people are descendants of wolves remember. I turned because of the Cullen's though, there presence helped awaken our blood"
"Oh..." She leaned into me and placed herself over my heart, she's letting it sink in, and she's dated a filthy leech so this should be a somewhat easy transition for her, "So what's imprinting then?"
I was hoping she'd be distracted by the whole being a werewolf thing, but looks like I'm going to tell her, she needs to understand: here goes nothing.
"Well, after we phase for the first time, it's something that's supposed to be rare, but it keeps happening to us. See, it's like finding your soulmate. When you look into her eyes everything stops and all you've known stops to matter and only she matters; she is the gravity that holds you down, she becomes the sun and the wolf is the earth". I hope that's a good enough explanation.
She nuzzles into my chest and I can practically fell her blush.
"When I first saw you... you looked at me and … we … I mean you. Is that why I feel so good right now, is that why I first came to La Push, were we drawn to each other before you transformed? Are you alright with me as your imprint?" As she looked at me with her beautiful brown eyes I couldn't help but love her.
"This is a lot to take in Bells, but you can be sure that I'll never leave you, I'm yours forever".
She was leaning away from me now, still blushing, "We'll need to talk this out Jacob. I felt something for you before all this and I feel that and more".
At least she didn't run and scream.
-Break (Bella)
This is all so crazy, it's been months since he left me, six since Jacob began to fix me, and now all this is happening. Poor Jacob this is gotta be hard on him, turning into essentially a giant dog, and now he finds out I'm his soulmate; I'm broken and damaged goods, Jacob deserves better but his stuck with me.
But I wouldn't mind spending forever with Jake, my Jacob. I know it's selfish but I've been using him for months but over all this time Jacobs gained a place in my heart. The love I have for him is still there but I know he's not coming back and if he does it could never be the same. If Edward Cullen came back I couldn't waltz back into his arms, he's done too much damage to me.
I looked at Jake, he looks different. His muscles are more defined now. He isn't wearing a shirt, so you could see them easily; I could see how his body is perfect, not like a god but a realistic beauty that captivates you. I hadn't seen him in three weeks and that time seems so long; it felt too far away, but here I feel complete because being with Jacob is natural and easy.
"Jake." I said, smiling at him. Okay you can do this, this is weird but weren't you planning on trying to be happy. Jacob is here, he is real, I wouldn't have to sacrifice anything for him, and being with Jacob already feels good. Changing would be hard but Jacob and I deserve it: I'm his soulmate; the universe itself deems it so, hell the universe has just dropped the perfect man in my lap. Okay maybe the universe has dropped me into the lap of the perfect man for me.
"What's wrong Bells?" asked Jacob, no, my Jake.
"Can you tell me more? Who else is like you besides Sam, you, and all those guys with Sam?" I want to know more about him, I mean I'm taking a big leap here.
"We'll there are seven of us and Sam is our Alpha: he's the big dog and the rest of us are just grunts" My heart is thumping with joy; after all that's happened he is still the same Jake I know and love. I leaned closer to Jake again, hoping he doesn't mind.
"Jake, what are we going to do?" I know I want to be with you, you're fixing me and I like you, I want you as more than a friend.
"It all depends on what you want Bells, I'll be whatever you want me to be"
Will he really? I want him to be my everything now, but these feeling are all so new. I don't know when they started but their there. Edward won't come back and at the rate things are going I don't think I'd take him back even if he did come back.
"Are you sure you're alright with this bells?"
"I'm sure but what about you, what do you want?"
I looked at Jake. "What happens to us?"
"I love you Bella" said Jake as he looked me in the eyes, "I want to promise you that I'll be yours forever but I think we should try to take it slow. I don't want to force anything onto you"
"I think it's for the best, I guess dating a werewolf will be fun, and Charlie already likes you". Despite my attempt at a joke I'm thrilled. This is perfect, I want to enter our relationship easily and so does Jake. This way I can take it a step at a time.
Strong, warm arms wrapped around my waist; I'm not used to the warmth, but I'm starting to like this. I looked up to see Jake. He was smiling my smile and my heart fluttered in approval. We started into each others eyes for what seemed like an eternity until someone spoke.
"So Bella, I can see the wolves out of the bag?" said Billy with a smirk as he wheeled himself into the living room.
I blushed and nodded.
"Well how are you holding up? I mean first a vampire now a werewolf". I couldn't help but blush at Billy's words; I'm sure he and Charlie will approve of any relationship Jake and I have.
I looked down at the mention of Edward; I can't bring myself to miss Edward like I had. Jake had made me so much happier and now I think I'm forgetting the perfect Edward and realizing how flawed he truly is.
"Jake and I are going to take things slow; I love him and I know he loves me, but I think we don't need to rush" I said.
"Good, you should never rush a good thing, it only complicates matters". Billy's smile is like Jake's and it's full of approval and acceptance for our situation.
"Tanks for the support dad" said Jacob with a smile.
Billy waved goodbye and left, he was being picked up by Harry Clearwater, which means it's just Jake and me.
"Well, I think we need to define were we stand Jake". I pushed away from him but he just brought me back into his arms.
"I think …that we are dating, were still Jake and Bells but now it's more open. Our relationship is more personal, were boyfriend and girlfriend"
Do I want that? I don't know how to label us, but that sounds nice, I could go along with that. It's true we don't have to change much; we'll kiss, hold hands, and go out together but this time it will have more meaning.
"I guess were together" I said with a smile, "but we need ground rules". I need him to know that the only way this is going to work is if were equals; with Jake it needs to be fifty/fifty as appose to with Edward which was seventy/thirty.
"Okay, that sounds reasonable" said Jake with a grin.
"We need to be fair to each other Jake" I felt my voice break a little, "Were equals in everything we do. I want us to always understand each other; I'm not saying to be perfect, but to try and understand one another" I hope I'm making sense.
"That's perfect Bells" whispered Jake as he leaned into me.
"Oh... Okay Jake"
Before I knew it Jakes lips were on mine. His lips are scorching against mine, I've never been kissed like this, and it is like a declaration of love without out words. At first I didn't react but then I found my arms moving around his neck while his arms wrapped around my waist. As our lips molded to perfection I felt a current of joy wash over me, I can really get used to this. Jake pulled away and before I could even speak he kisses my cheeks and made his way down my throat, god were did he learn to do this, I heard myself let out a moan which seemed to intensify his kisses.
"J-j-Jake s-slow d-d-own". I whimpered as he kissed me on the lips one last time.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to get carried away" whispered Jake as he kissed my cheek.
"I-i-it-t's alright". I think I'm in love with Jacob Black, and after that I don't want to let him go any time soon.
