Chapter One

There was a loud crash everyone looked around frantically and then they saw Paul among the shattered remnants of what used to be a cookie jar. Paul was glaring at everyone in the room daring them to comment. Jacob walked up calmly and pulled a cookie from the jar.

"You poor little cookie to survive Paul's fury only to be eaten by Jacob." Sam said and ate the cookie. Paul made the clenching gesture with his hands that meant that he was about to transform.

"You know what you need Paul you need a soul mate, someone to calm you down and even you out your other half." Embry said, "Everything has changed for me since I met my Kimmy."

"Yes, that does seem to happen you look at them and suddenly you two are the only ones in the world." Sam said and scooped Emily up in his arms and proceeded to kiss her passionately.

"Eww get a room." Seth said and the others gave a corus of agreement.

"You do not see me doing that with my bonded." Quil said.

"Yea only because your bonded is two years old." Sam shot back.

"Better two than old enough to refuse you." Jacob said and everyone stared at him for a full minute it was the first time in days that Jacob had spoken allowed.

"Jacob, why didn't you tell her?" Leah asked.

"Because I didn't know not until she left to marry that leech. I almost want to go to her wedding just to see her again." Jacob told them glad that Sam had not forced him to go on guard lately glad that the pack was so understanding and knew he needed some time for himself. His life was now his own personal hell without his Bella. He did not care what form she came in just that she would come. He knew now that he would wait lifetimes for her to come back and he would kill himself if he found that she had died.

"Jake, I am so sorry, but you know you can't do that. It would threaten everything, the treaty with the Cullens humans finding out about us, everything." Sam said to him. "Now be reasonable."

"Reasonable how can you of all people ask me to be reasonable about my bond? Come now you know how you can't be parted from Emily how you are on petrol and you ask me to be reasonable?" Jake said trembling from his head to his tail.

"Jake." Embry said.

"Don't you try to calm me down Embry! There is nothing you can do to stop me loving her. If there was I would let you do it and gladly. For goodness sakes think about your bonded what would you be like in my position. I think I am handling it quite well don't you?" Jacob asked and where he had been there was now a wolf in his place.

Jacob snarled and ran out the doggy door that Emily and Sam had installed recently in their house. He lost himself to running faster and faster until he forgot everything his pain, his love even his own name. He was wolf now pure wolf.
