Chapter 2: Jelousy

You want to conquer
The perpetual fever of jealousy?
I will tell you a great secret:
Just love and become one
With your oneness - heart

- Sri Chinmoy

I could feel the breeze of the ocean on my my bare skin. It was so relaxing except for the fact that I was freezing. Why had I chosen to wear shorts? I mentally slapped myself.

It was pitch dark out and if it wasn't for the fire elluminating the sky, I would probably not be able to see a thing. Sam and Emily had invited me to this bonfire because they said it would be important for me to listen to the legends of the Quileute. Whatever that meant. I hadn't heard the legends since I was a kid but they weren't a big deal. It was all fantasy bedtime stories that were fictional.

"Hey Alex, Billy is about to start telling the legends. You wouldn't want to miss that." Seth was making his way towards me. Me and Seth were unseperable. I have only been here two days and yet, it feels like I have known him for years. He was like my personal sun, he warms my day.I smiled back at him and met him half way.

Seth grabbed my hand and led me towards the fire where everybody had gathered around. Billy, Jacob's dad, was the center of attention. Everybody was there. All the elders and all of the pack. I groaned when I saw Jacob with Bella at his side.

I didn't hate the guy but it sure did seem like he hated me. It's not like I did anything to make him hate me so much, I hadn't even had a conversation with the guy.

Seth and I approached the fire. I flushed when everybody averted their attention to us and because Seth was still holding my hand. Jacob looked up to meet my gaze and his expression looked angered. I quickly looked away.

Seth sat next to me on a log, that just so happened to be directly infront of Jacob and Bella. I could feel Jacobs eyes on me but then they looked away when Billy began to speak.

"The Quilete tribe has always had magic in their blood," Billy began to speak. Even with the fire only a couple of feet away, I was still freezing. I shivered and rubbed my arms trying to warm myself up. Seth noticed and made a big show of looking around to see if anybody was looking our way, then yawned and placed an arm around me and he pulled me in closer to him. I looked up meet his eyes and raised an eyebrow. He smirked and winked back. I just rolled my eyes and snuggled up to him. Seriously, this kid was really hot, temperature wise and soon I was warming up too.

I looked up to sneek a glance at Jacob, I caught his eyes on me and we locked eyes. His expression looked hurt and was he shaking? But then a flash of anger crossed his eyes. I didn't know why, but I felt like I should be in Jacob's arms not Seth's. I longed for his strong arms to be wrapped around my body and for him to warm me up like Seth was doing right now.

"Our tribe's protectors were spirit warriors." Billy continued. I brought my attention back on Billy and what he was saying. The legends facinated me. I remember them vaguely from my childhood but they meant so much more now. I could visualize everything Billy was saying. I felt like they were real even the part where the tribe had shapeshifters that turned into wolves.

"The Quilete protectors were strong like steel and taller than most." Billy described. I looked around at the group. It seemed like Billy was describing the group not the shapeshifters of the Legends. Well if the stories were true, these guys could very well be shapeshifters. I laughed at myself, what the hell was I thinking. These stories were fake, made up.

"The shapeshifters imprinted on their soulmates." I could feel Jacob eyes on me when Billy said this. "Imprinting is when a wolf finds his perfect match. They are destined to be together, forever." I glanced at Jacob to meet his gaze. His eyes showed adoration and love? That couldn't be. I looked away quickly and focused back on the legends. Billy kept describing imprinting when I felt Seth's hot breathe on my ear.

"Sometimes a wolf doesn't have to imprint to meet his soulmate." Seth whispered into my ears. His lips lingered and he placed a kiss on my cheek and were making their way towards my lips when I felt somethig snatch me away from him.

Whoever had snatched me away were now carrying me bridal style, away from the fire. I looked up to see the face of my attacker and it was none other than Jacob and he was shaking violently. He looked furious but I didn't care.

"Put me down." I hissed. How dare he? I squirmed in his arms and he finally placed me on the ground. I tried to run back to the group but Jacob wrapped an arm around my waist and brought me back to him, and stopping me from escaping.

"What do you want Jacob." My words dripped with disdain. Jacob was extremely close. "Do you like Seth?" Jacob's question took me by surprise. It took me a moment to think about it.

"What does that matter to you." I snapped. I tried to pry his arm off of me. "Just answer the question." Jacob looked angry. He was really pissing me off.

"Well if you really want to know, Yes I do like Seth and a lot." I lied. Actually it was the truth, I did like Seth but as a brother. But I decided I didn't have to tell that to Jacob.

Jacob began to shake even worse than before. It frightened me to see him that way. But his anger didn't reach his eyes. He looked torn and saddened. I have had enough. I ran back to the bonfire. I couldn't think about anything other than Jacob, though. I looked over my shoulder to see if Jacob was still shaking but he was gone. He disapeared in the blink of an eye.

I would have ran into Seth if he hadn't of caught me in his arms. I was so confused. Why had Jacob acted that way? Not only that, my heart felt torn in two and Jacob had ran off with the other half.

"Are you ok? Do you want me to take you back to Sam and Emily's." Seth asked as he walked me to the car. I couldn't make out any words so I just nodded. My eyes rimmed with tears. Jacob was gone, half my heart was gone.

Jacob's P.O.V.

I never took my eyes of Alex. Stupid Seth, he knows how I feel about her and that doesn't stop him from hitting on her. Look at him, he has his arm around her. I want to tear that kid, limb by limb starting with his arm.

Bella sat next to me. She looked really interested in the stories but I didn't really care much about her tonight. I was to busy controlling my anger. With every minute that passed, my anger rose and rose.

"The shapeshifters imprinted on their soulmates." I stared at Alex when my father said this. "Imprinting is when a wolf finds his perfect match. They are destined to be together, forever." Got that right but its much more. You can't live without your imprint. You would do anything for her anything to keep her safe. Eveytime I'm on patrol, I would go by Sam's house just to check if Alex was ok and safe. I would do anything for Alex. I shook that thought away quickly. I love Bella not her. I am not going to let a stupid imprint stop me from loving Bella.

I glanced again at Alex. Seth was about to kiss her. What I did next was all pure instinct. I snatched her and carried her away. I was furious with Seth. How dare he.

I felt Alex squirm in my arms and I put her back down. Instantly, I wanted her back in my arms.

"What do you want, Jacob." I cringed at the amout of disdain in her voice. "Do you like Seth?" I wanted to hear her answer, I wanted to know.

"What does that matter." She snapped. "Just answer the question." I hated waiting.

"Well if you really want to know, Yes I do like Seth and a lot." She retorted. I could feel my heart being shattered into pieces at her words. I felt like I couldn't breathe. Then I grew angry at Seth. But I knew it wasn't his fault, anybody could fall in love with her. Alex walked off as soon as she could. 'Her walking away made it even worse. She was probably going off to find Seth.

I ran into the woods and phased quickly without stopping to take off my clothes. I ran. I wanted to get as far away from La Push as possible. As far away from her as possible.

So, what did you think? Please tell me in reviews! :D
