Prologue
"You don't…Love me Jacob." She glared at me, chocolate brown eyes glimmering with unshed tears. "Not really. You've 'imprinted' on me." She sobbed, and the pain in my heart tore through my soul, breaking, shattering every part of me into pieces.
"Nessie, I-"
"No." She looked at me, my heart, my life. She looked at me with dead eyes, eyes that no longer would glimmer and smile when she saw me. She looked at me with eyes that were no longer mine.
"There is nothing you can say. Five years now you've stood by me because of a 'magical bond' and, Nothing. More." She wiped her sleeve across her eyes angrily.
"You never…loved me. It was an instinct." She spat out the words, eyes flashing in anger.
"A mating instinct so you could carry on your little werewolf tribe." She cried, and I could so nothing but watch as the point of my existence thrust me away from her, thinking that all I ever felt was a compulsion, that there was no real love involved. How very wrong she was.
"Never come back…dog." She ran, back turned, without a single look back at me.
As my heart broke in half, all I could do was fall to the ground, feeling Jacob Black crumble into ashes.
And somewhere, hundreds of miles away, a baby was thrust into the world, without a sound.
