Chapter 1:

One day, one hour, one second even, can change your life completely. I remember the words clear as day. I just didn't realize how true those words had been at the time.

Viktor had decided against his stupidity. He decided to not involve the Volturi. Even though we knew better, we knew it was a fruitless effort. The Volturi were gone. No longer in charge of Volterra.

Felix was now in charge. Keeping the peace and the order of things. Making sure the entire vampire world still feared and believed in the Volturi. The Romanians were also in league with him. Whether or not that was a good thing or not was still unsure.

"He's weak. He's decided to lay low. Hide. Gain his strength. Then he will attack."

"Attack how?" My voiced was barely above a whisper. Landon had asked the same thing only his voice was harsh and cold. He loathed his father. Wished his demise. By his own hands.

"He's heard wind of things." Alice paused. she looked sad. Worried even. "That you were pregnant. He doesn't expect you to go full term. He doesn't expect you or the baby to make it."

We all looked to the other room. Where Kainan was sound asleep.

"Obviously he is a little behind. But when he first caught wind of it. He wanted to come back. He knows your powerful. He knows his son is powerful." she looked from me to Landon.

"So two powerful parents will surely make an even more powerful baby." Jacob stated bluntly.

"He doesn't know Kainan or you for that matter survived. He heard tell of stories were the mother was ripped apart.. But he also knows you survived." she looked at me.

"He wants Kainan?" Jacobs voice shook with rage.

"He'll never get him." Landon's voice was just as angry.

My body started to shake.

"He doesn't know of Kainan." Alice said. So sure of herself.

"And when he does? Then what!" my voice was loud and shook with fear.

"Felix assured us if he gets wind of where Viktor is he will send word to us." Carlisle tried to smile at me.

"Kainan is to strong! No one must ever know of his power. If the wrong person found out." my voice cracked at the end. I couldn't finish. What if some one came for him?

"NO ONE will EVER get him." Jacob put his hand on my shoulder.

"How do you know that?"

"I know!" Alice said impatiently.

"Your visions can change!"

"No one will touch our son. I promise you." Landon grabbed my face in his hands. Forcing me to look at him. "Trust me?"

I nodded.

Landon kissed my forehead and pulled me closer to him.

"He hasn't decided anything. He is in a dark plate. i cant see where. He is trying to rest."

"It's almost been six months. If he tries to heal to much he might get to powerful again."

"It would take years for him to heal, and even then he will never be as strong ever again." Alice said.

"We wont give him even a year." Emmett nodded.

"I. Ok." I smiled. Trying to fool the world with a smile. What else could I say?

"Think about the Happy things." Alice smiled.

"Yes. Your wedding is a little over a month away." Esme smiled.

Forty two days and counting.

My wedding. I still couldn't get that out of my head. It just wouldn't sink in. I was getting married.

The day just seemed to creep up, faster and faster. Approaching like a wild fire in the forest.

Everyone just went back to being excited about the wedding. Talking about last minute plans, and things to do. Checklist being checked. And double checked, it sounded like the ridicules Santa. He's checking it twice.

Everyone even the pack seemed interested and excited about it.

That is, apart from Jacob.

He was turning into two different people. It didn't seem normal.

One minute he was all excited about the wedding, smiles and over exaggerated jitteriness and excitement for it. His smiles never met his eyes. They were forced.

That is, when Freya was around. He was excited just like she was. And way to touchy feely with her. Almost like he was rubbing in the fact he was moving on.

Freya was none the wiser, but I knew Jacob Black. Better than anyone else.

When she wasn't around. It was like doom and gloom. No smiles, no excitement. Shrugs and hmms. Was about all we got.

When I would try to talk to him around people he was nonchalant. Withdrawn.

When it was just us. He was the same old lovable Jacob.

I didn't understand it. It was getting on my nerves and driving me insane.

When Freya was around it was like he was putting on this big act. A big show to please her. Like he was doing it just for show. To make me jealous and angry. Trying to get me to crack. Set me off somehow. The only thing setting me off was the Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hide routine he was pulling. Either you liked some one or you didn't. there was no in betweens. And if he didn't like Freya he shouldn't lead her on.

Then again I was no better the more I thought about it. But he knew better than most how it felt. Why do it to some one else?

I would have to talk to him. I knew I would, but I dreaded it like the plague. The more I avoided it, the more I knew I had to do it. And soon. The longer I waited the worse it would be.

Max and Leah were cute as ever. They actually made a really cute couple. The pack was a little un settled about it. But they promised not to pull a Bella and Edward. In Emmett's words, lets not make any puppies anytime soon.

They were happy, that's all that mattered.

I looked up just in time to see Jacob swiftly remove himself from he room. The guys were clueless wit the video games in there hands.

The girls were to into the lap top or the wedding magazines to care.

I stood up and followed him.

"Jacob."

He stopped but he didn't turn to look at me.

"What's up Nes?"

"You."

He turned slightly and eyed me.

"What?"

"You. Your what's up."

"What do you want me to say?'

I just looked at him.

"What? Congratulations? I'm glad your getting married to someone else." he turned and faced me completely. "Fine. I'll lie. Congrats Nes. I'm happy for you." and he turned and went to walk away.
