Author's note: many thanks to my Reviewers for encouraging my twisted mind. I feel so loved.
Radar sense like a light in the hollow, taste that fear in the dark
Every breath leaves a trace that I follow, I will catch every mark
Jacob POV:
I kept my word, the second I got the invitation I took off. Of course by then I was two and a half months pregnant. Luckily I had not started to show yet. I would have to leave soon anyway to hide my pregnancy from Edward. I was terrified He would steal my miracle The clan healer said I could form shift if I was careful.
I transformed and howled my pain to the moon. This was it I was leaving it all behind me in a vain effort to please my Edward. I stuck to the river following it to the headwaters. I slowed as I crossed into Canada I could feel the Void in my chest pulling me back to my recalcitrant mate.. I knew he did not want me. I found a dry cave and decided to call it home. I would start preparing for my baby. Maybe it would take my mind off the endless pain.
I shifted Back to Human form standing naked in the cave. I put my hand on my diminishing six-pack abs. Well, my little cub, Looks like its just you and me now" tears overwhelmed me then and I dropped to my knees.
Edward POV:
That filthy Mutt lied to me I feel as drawn to him as ever, even though I acted as his friend. I had been trying to ignore it for the most part. Alice and jasper were not speaking to me. They had even shut off their minds. All I got when I tried to focus on Alice was a strange Half man Half coyote laughing at me. With Jasper it was stranger he kept translating and retranslating his favorite song. (Blood by Gaia Consort) .
I was used to songs on repeat in Emmet's head I once spent six months listening to him sing The Gummy-bear song.
The thoughts that annoyed me most were Carlisle's he would not stop worrying about the stupid gay mutt. He would spend hours researching were-animal traditions, old legends, and the writings of an obscure American novelist.
On a better note my wedding was just three days away. Other than the randomness of the pull which had now moved north life was great. It had been two and a half months since the whole Me screwing the Mutt thing. I still think Jasper had a hand in that act of intense stupidity. Dog breath had kept his word accept for the Pull .
Jacob POV:
I went hunting this morning, when I got back after my unsuccessful hunt the second time in as many days I had failed to find game. There was a strange man cooking deer over a small fire. He stood as I approached the cave "Jake, I presume. The Clan Lord asked me to look after you. My name If Nodin Oberon" I was speechless for an instant Vizzi' already knew I was wandering?
The man was my height and obviously of the People he smelled like the forest. I could not help testing this stranger, " Vizzi' sent you? How is she?"
The man laughed, " I'll be sure to tell Him you think he is a girl."
I laughed too for the first time in a long time Maybe I could trust him, Oh please don't" I missed Edward deeply. His wedding was in three days. I had promised him I would stay away and let him have his happiness. I would have too but Nodin suggested with a glint of mischief in his eyes that we could go and stick to the shadows at a distance. Besides he reasoned it would end some of the loneliness.
Alice POV: I laughed quietly in my bedroom. I Saw Jacob again he was at the wedding with what looked like a date and the best part was Edward looked Jealous then as always seemed to happen of late the Coyote man filled my vision and winked at me before my vision ended abruptly. He seemed to get a kick out of it but It was getting a little old.

Song from this chapter
Blood
Scent is high on the wind tonight, I can taste you from here
Circle Downwind and out of sight, you won't notice I'm near
Twitch of fear as you move at the tree line, I take the weak and the small
Bare your eye teeth or beg me for more time, you won't slow me at all
No, the joy or the hate hardly matters – there is nothing but hunger in this
Rest a heartbeat and I'll get my teeth in blood
Radar sense like a light in the hollow, taste that fear in the dark
Every breath leaves a trace that I follow, I will catch every mark
Move and surely my sharp eye will see you, stop and I'll take you down
Joy of tooth in the bone and the gristle, blood alive in my mouth
Some will say there is safety in numbers, tell that myth to the edge of the herd
Leave the weak and I might even spare your blood
Wizened crone that is bent by the river, She wears a necklace of skulls
Better hope that if by chance you see her, She isn't washing your clothes
Not that seeing Her face really matters, No there's nothing at all we can do
Life begins as it all surely ends in blood
