Sam/Pack/Jake P.O.V (How it should have been)

A/N: Pack mind in Italics, Jake's thoughts in bold, everyone else normal, Sam's underlined, Alpha command bold/underlined.

"I just don't get it! What the fuck does she see in him? He's just a cold, hard lump of stone! What can he give her that I can't? Why won't she see I'm better for her? What's he got that I don't apart from the money?"

"Nice Jake! So you think she's a gold digging whore? Why the fuck do you want her then?"

"I never said that Paul, I don't fucking think that!"

"You said he could buy her things, cause he has money and you can't! Sounded like it to me too"

"Nobody asked you, Leah!"

"Just saying, but if you actually knew her as much as you think you do! You would never have even thought that Jake. I'm just saying!"

"Well don't, I'm just trying to understand why she'd want to date a goddamn lifeless leech and not me!"

"She loves Edward, Jake you know that. How many times does she have to tell you? Why won't you listen to her?"

"Sure, sure Seth, so she says. But if we could get her away and the glamour wore off..."

"For fuck's sake Jake listen to yourself, you don't love her! You never have, you just want her so he can't have her! You act as if it was a competition and she's the prize! You need to grow the fuck up, pup"

"How would you know Jared? Your talking shit!"

"I know what love feels like fuckwit and that's not it. Jake, you think about her as an object to control, you're obsessed with her! That's not love, that's sick and not fucking normal!"

"Enough! all of you shut up, Jake you need to let it go man. She took him back and made it plain who she wants to be with. She picked the bloodsucker whether you like it or not! Because it's her fucking life and nothing to do with you!"

"But if I could just get her away from him, then..."

"Then what Jake? She'd be miserable like she was before, but she'd be with you, so at least you'd be happy. So you'd be content with being second best to a leech? Shit you are sick!"

"Fuck off Quill! that's not what would happen. I could make her love me more!"

"That sounds like you'd force her to love you! What you'll beat her till she does? Or confine her to your shack, till she realises she loves only you? That's fucked up man! You need help buddy, seriously!"

"I'd never fucking do anything like that Embry, I just need to get her away from him!"

"Jacob Black, I forbid you to interfere in the Swan girl's life anymore! She's made her choice, respect it if nothing else. Do you hear me?"

"Yeah Sam, I fucking got it!"

"Paul, Jared run patrols! The rest of you phase and get some sleep. Jake, you're confined to the Rez till further notice!"

As the pack slowly splits up and head for their homes and beds, Sam wanders into his house and drops heavily into a chair and it groans under the pressure.

"Hey! careful honey, we've on got three left after the last Paul and Jake argument" says Emily coming over to him and wrapping her arms around his broad shoulders. "What's on your mind baby? You look worried!"

"In a word, Jake!" he states letting out a huge sigh as he does. "I need to speak to the elders about him and without Billy being there to poison everyone's mind, I blame him for all this shit. He's twisted that boy's mind over the years with a fantasy that was never meant to be. It was just a musing between two old friends and Billy won't let it go, Christ, I doubt Charlie even remembers, it was just a drunken ramble. Billy knew Jake's destiny was pre-ordained the minute the Cold Ones returned and it has damn all to do with Isabella Swan!"

Just then the phone rings and he groans, "Billy, I'll bet. I grounded Jake to the Rez, does that old fool think he can countermand an Alpha order now?" He pushes himself up as Emily answers the phone, "Yes Billy he's here, just a second and I'll get him" she covers the mouthpiece and stretches up to kiss her husband "Stay calm honey!" she whispers nipping his earlobe. He groans again for a totally different reason.

"Evening Billy, what can I do for You? I was just about to turn in for the night!" he grumbles into the phone. "If it's to do with the council couldn't it wait till the morning? Yes, I confined him to the Rez. What has that to do with you Billy it's pack business and that's not up for debate? Billy, don't push me, I didn't take the Chief position out of respect for you, but as you know the Alpha is the Chief of the tribe by right and I can claim the title anytime! Don't interfere where you have no say. No Billy your son is not the rightful Chief, the strongest wolf is! At the moment that's me and with Jake's mental state in question at present, it's going to be me for a very long time. Now goodnight Billy, I need to get some rest before my next patrol."

"Goddamn it! I'm going to have to curb him, Emily, Billy is as out of control as Jake. I'm calling a council meeting tomorrow and end this once and for all." he huffs as he lifts his wife into his arms and strides into their bedroom.
