Chapter 2

The trees were flying by in his peripheral vision, but Jacob took no notice of them. He could only focus on the chaos of his thoughts.

This can't be happening…it's impossible, it has to be a mistake! I can't have imprinted on a vampire!!! The pack is going to kill me…what am I going to do??? Then again, Edward is really good looking. Wait…I did not just think that! I love Bella, not Edward!

He was so confused. He'd never even been attracted to a guy before, so why would he have imprinted on one? Jacob knew there really wasn't anything he could do to change things. He would just have to figure out how to deal with it. But what was he going to tell Edward? As far as he knew, the vampire strongly disliked him. He supposed he would just have to say it outright and let things fall where they may.

Maybe Edward would kill him. Jacob knew he wouldn't even be able to fight back; he couldn't hurt Edward now that he had imprinted on him. He would do everything he could to make the vampire happy, because he now felt that he couldn't do things any other way. Jacob didn't know what he would do if Edward stayed with Bella. It would hurt, he knew. Just like he knew that it would hurt Bella if Jacob was chosen over her. He didn't want Bella to be hurt, but as he had said before, he couldn't change things now.

What if Edward told him to leave? Jacob would have to in order to make the vampire happy, but it would kill him to actually have to do that. Edward was the center of his universe, and for Jacob to live without the vampire in his life would be nearly impossible. Jake had heard Sam's thoughts about what imprinting was like. His heart and soul would always be pulling him towards Edward. If he was told to go away, each step in the opposite direction of Edward would be nearly impossible to take. Every part of him would be urging him to turn back around and find his soul mate.

It was only then that he noticed he was no longer alone; someone was following him. Edward. He could smell him now, though the scent was different from usual. No longer sickly sweet, Jacob let Edward's scent permeate his senses. It was wonderful, still sweet but no longer overwhelming.

He gave no thought to the fact that Edward could probably hear everything he was thinking. If he hadn't known about the imprint before, the vampire had surely figured it out by now.

Jacob didn't even care anymore. Edward would do what he wanted, no matter what Jacob thought about it. And Jacob was about to find out what Edward would do, because the vampire was now leaning against a tree about ten feet away.

Edward hadn't figured out how to feel about Jacob's revelation just yet. He didn't understand how Jacob's feelings could have changed so drastically in such a short amount of time.

Edward actually didn't hate the wolf, no matter what anyone else thought. He had only acted like he did because he hadn't wanted Jacob anywhere near Bella. Young wolves could be dangerous, especially if they were upset. He hadn't wanted Bella to get hurt. But he knew that Jacob was usually a pretty easy going guy, and Edward liked that about him.

Edward had never given much thought to whom he was attracted to. Until Bella came along, he had never found anyone who sparked his interest. And the only reason he had noticed Bella in the first place was that he wasn't able to hear her thoughts. He probably would never have been intrigued by her otherwise.

Now that he was thinking about it, Edward realized that Jacob was a very attractive young man. He had grown quite a bit since Edward had first seen him. He was now much taller than Edward himself was and quite a bit broader as well. His Quileute heritage gave him a dark complexion with even darker hair and eyes. Altogether he made a beautiful picture.

Maybe he should give the wolf a chance. They could take some time to get to know each other, and then Edward would decide where their relationship would go. Edward had already heard Jacob's thoughts on the matter. The wolf would do everything he could to make Edward happy, and that would include being only Edward's friend if that was what he wanted.

Edward knew that this was going to hurt Bella, but he also knew that he would have eventually left her again anyhow. He wasn't in love with her anymore, so it wouldn't be fair to Bella for him to keep pretending he was. And Edward's family loved Bella, so he figured that they would help her to cope in any way that they could.

Jacob was probably waiting for a reaction to his thoughts. Edward had been leaning against a tree about ten feet away from the wolf for the last five minutes and had yet to say or do anything.

Edward looked up to find Jacobs eyes locked on his face. He met those warm brown eyes and despite what he already knew about imprinting, was surprised by what he found there. Several different emotions were running across Jacob's face. The wolf was worried about Edward's reaction to the imprinting, afraid that he would make Jacob leave, impatient for Edward to start speaking already so he would know what was going on.

He supposed it would be a lot easier to be in a relationship with Jacob than it had been with Bella. Edward would always know what he was feeling and thinking. His thoughts always came across loud and clear and his emotions were never hidden behind a blank mask. Edward would never again have to guess what was wrong before fixing the problem.

Edward took a few steps towards the wolf. He wanted to see if he was affected by Jacob in the same way as Jake was now affected by him. He had heard the wolf's thoughts about how his scent had changed, and was surprised to find that Jacob smelled better as well. The wolf's scent was earthy and masculine…delicious. Edward was surprised by that thought, but continued to step closer until they were only a couple of feet away from each other.
