Disclaimer: Characters and Settings are not mine. This applies to this and all upcoming chapters.
Warnings: The Cullens are very…close-minded, unusual to their nature; SLASH; AU; Angsty; I don't know if this is a warning but Bella is a good girl. Oh and Good Volturi, believe it or not. Also, Jacob will be a bit OOC because…well, I'll explain it if it someone asks. Or I'll just make an FAQ. Much more convenient that way.
Pairings: Edward/Jacob, Seth/Alec, Bella/? And other canon pairings
Summary: Edward and Jacob have been friends far longer than most would have thought and as time passed by, they were secret lovers. They are found out by their family and now they must face consequence of their forbidden love.
A/N: I know it's not that staggering an aomunt but I really was surprised at the amount of people that liked this story already! I really do hope none of you mind that the Cullens are different from what you perceive them as because if I change it, might as well not have a story right? So far here is the stats, just because I was so happy. This is almost like my story Barging In. A lot of Ouran fans liked it a lot! By the way, remember this stat is within a 24-hour period

October 2004
Months passed by with many surprises.
Because of the Cullens moving back, the Quileute boys started turning into shapeshifters. Of course, Jacob managed to get away with pretending that he hasn't transformed yet and always looked cautiously at the suddenly bulky boys near the cliff. As if they are just waiting for him.
The young wolf knew that he didn't have much choice and told his father that he couldn't hide from the other wolves any longer. "Jacob, if you think you really have to, go ahead but you have to remember to be careful with your thoughts around them. Remember that now you're in a pack they can hear you." Billy said to his son. Jacob just nodded firmly and told his dad he'll be careful.
Billy was unlike most of the elders in La Push. He knew the story about the Cullens without any hate because in truth, Ephraim Black became very close friends with the Cullens. The others just changed the stories and like all other legends, the story was distorted.
"Thanks, dad." Jacob said before going back to his room. Billy sighed wearily and called Sam to tell him that Jacob has finally started the change.
"Great, Billy! I'll just be there soon," Sam said. "No, no. It's fine Sam. I think it's better to just let him be when he transforms. I'll make sure to tell you first when he finally does shift." Billy explained. The other line was quiet for a moment before Sam answered. "Alright, Billy if you think it's for the best." Sam replied before putting down the phone.
Jacob finally shifted and became a part of Sam's pack 5 days later. He had to pretend to know nothing about being a wolf as much as he could and interact with the new wolves while at the same time shrouding his mind from the pack's prying noses. Of course, this was also the time he had to pretend to despise the Cullens. It hurt him like no other to have to snarl and growl at his mate when he'd rather just cuddle with him forever.
Edward, Jacob said happily in his head but outwardly glaring at the coven of vampires.
"Black," Edward spat to his mate but smiling inwardly.
"Jacob now is not the time to be uncivilised to the Cullens. After all, it is your friend the rogue vampires are after and we need all the help we can help," Sam said. Jacob just huffed and straightened his body, all the while still narrowing his eyes at the vampire across the treaty line.
November 2009
A month had passed and the rogue vampires have been killed by the Cullens and the Quileute wolves, allowing Bella to be safe again. Now that there wasn't any need for patrols, Jacob was freely allowed to roam the forest without worrying for one of his packmates.
At last, some freedom to go run around. At least now I get to see Edward again. I haven't seen him in so long, Jacob thought. What he forgot was that his other pack mates were in a meeting not including him.
I think Jacob is hiding something from us, Paul said to the pack, all of them in their wolf form. I agree with Paul, Jacob's mind doesn't seem to be as open as it should be. But, for now we won't do anything and we'll just see what happens, Sam said. All the wolves growled in agreement. Something wasn't right with Jacob and they will find out what is happening. Onto other matters, now that—, Sam started but was cut off by the whisper of Jacob's thoughts.
At last, some freedom to go run around. At least now I get to see Edward again. I haven't seen him in so long… was what the whole pack heard before they all snarled, except for one, who just suddenly became increasingly worried. The pack all looked into where Jacob was and Sam commanded all of the wolves. Let's go! We can't allow his traitorous ass to come back here in La Push, the alpha snarled.
All the wolves ran and trailed to where Jacob was, eager to punish him for his actions. Seth inconspicuously steered off another path and attempted to close off his mind. He knew that it was only him that would be able to save Jacob. He ran to the Cullen's house.
Jacob slowed into a jog as he passed the treaty line of the La Push into the Cullen Territory. Humming in his head, he failed to notice the other angry wolves' thoughts becoming closer.
A loud growl emitted from the dark grey wolf before pouncing on the jogging wolf. Immediately, Jacob retaliated and began attacking, although confused at why Paul was suddenly attacking him. Suddenly, a brown wolf pounced on him, effectively pinning him to the ground. Guys, what the hell? Jacob shouted.
We know, Jacob. I didn't know you were such a leech lover too. And with Cullen know less, Paul snarled, swiping his paw at the immobile vampire. Jacob froze and didn't even notice the pain from the scratch Paul gave him.
We cannot condone what you've done Jacob. You betrayed the pack and the Quileute for being with a cold one, Sam spat, saying the last two words with venom. Jacob just growled and snapped his teeth at Sam.
How long have you been going out with him Black? Sam asked.
Wouldn't you like to know? Jacob taunted. A hard bite in one of his legs made him cringe but didn't shout. Jacob didn't want to give the satisfaction of him in pain. I've been with him for a year and I shifted 2 years ago! What, just because you think you phased first, that you're suddenly the alpha? Jacob snarled.
You aren't the alpha anymore Jacob. You relinquished that when you were off with your leech! Paul said before finally attacking Jacob and biting him. Jacob growled and snarled at them, trying to get his former pack mates off him. They ambushed him and didn't give him a chance to defend himself.
Soon, Jacob fell as a bloody mess on the forest floor, blood spilling from every part of his body, his fur drenched in his own blood.
We banish you from La Push, Jacob Black, Sam commanded before turning back to run to the reservation.
I hope your leech sucks you dry, Paul sniggered.
I knew you were no good Black. I don't know what Seth saw in you. Leah sneered in her head before following the rest of the pack, leaving Jacob alone and dying in the forest.
"Edward!" Alice shouted suddenly, standing from her seat. The bronze-haired vampire suddenly growled and ran to the front door just as Seth was about to knock.
"Come…follow me. Please, Jake is in trouble," Seth begged desperately. Edward merely nodded and followed the transformed werewolf into the woods. The whole family unknowingly followed to see what got the normally stoic vampire so distressed.
As they got closer to where Seth was, the whole coven smelled the surprisingly delicious scent of the werewolf's blood, masking the revolting smell of the werewolf. They slowed down and looked at the pool of blood that was around Jacob. Edward's eyes widened and ran to his dying mate.
"Jacob!" Edward cried, falling to his knees and pulling the wolf closer to him, shocking the whole coven. Edward…I'm sorry but the pack found out about…us. I'm…so…sorry, Jacob thought as his heartbeat slowly started to fade, his wolf body turning human as he fell limp on his mate's arms.
"No…it's okay, Jake. I-I'll do it, just to save you. Please just don't leave me," he whispered. He kissed Jacob's bloodied lips and sank his fangs into his neck, allowing the venom to spread to Jacob's body. At once, he felt their bond kick to life again as the venom burned through Jacob's body and he started whimpering.
"Edward, what have you done?" Carlisle asked disbelievingly. Edward looked up to his family's look of shock and…disgust?
Edward sighed, lifting the whimpering body closer to him. "He's my real mate, Carlisle. And I'm taking him home," he said with a stern voice before starting to walk back to the house.
"You are not keeping a disgusting mutt in the house. I don't care if it's your mate. I'd rather you have Bella. At least she's human and a girl," Rosalie sneered.
The others, except Alice, just silently agreed although Jasper just didn't seem anything but deep in thought.
"Shut up, Rosalie. I really would love to rip you to pieces but I have a mate that needs me," Edward growled before resuming to walk back, careful not to add on to the pain Jacob is experiencing.
Emmett growled at Edward for snapping at his wife but he didn't say anything. Despite Carlisle and Esme's efforts to understand and accept what is going on, they just couldn't grasp that there would be a wolf that would soon be living in their house. Jasper and Alice didn't say anything at all, not wishing to participate in the mess until they have to.
Besides, most of them didn't want to have some wolf-vampire in their family. Even if it was Edward's mate. Besides, he was just confused by the blood and it was Bella that was actually Edward's mate.
They reached the big house and Edward ran up the stairs and laid Jacob, as carefully as he could, on the bed that is in his room. The bronze-haired vampire swept the young wolf's hair away from his dirty face.
"Edward…will he be okay?" Seth asked worriedly from the door. Edward looked up to the smaller boy in front of him. "He will be. But…I just hope he'll be fine waking up as a vampire," he whispered, looking back at Jacob.
"Edward, could we speak to you for a second?" Carlisle asked from downstairs. Edward sighed. "I'll stay with him, Edward," Seth spoke again, closer to his best friend. "Shouldn't you be going back to the pack, Seth? Your pack will be looking for you." Edward asked.
"They stopped becoming my pack the moment they decided to attack my big brother, Edward," Seth said coldly, surprising the vampire. "You go downstairs, Edward. I'll take care of him," Seth said again. This time, Edward just nodded and went downstairs.
He saw his family sitting quietly. If a human were to come by, they would mistake the immortals to be statues. He sat beside Alice, who patted his shoulder in worry.
You should've told them, Edward… Alice said sadly.
"Edward, exactly how long have you been with Jacob?" Carlisle asked in a tone that he would use for his patients.
"It's almost going to be a year," Edward whispered, ignoring the surprised stares (except Alice) from his family.
"So, where have you been going these past two years then?" The vampire doctor asked. "To see Jacob. I've known him for a long time, Carlisle," he said dejectedly.
"So that's why you've been sneaking out every night." Emmett said. Rosalie scoffed. "Yeah to see his little mutt," she said in a bitch voice.
"Leave him alone, Rosalie! Can you be any blonder? He acted like that because he didn't want his pack to find out about us! Why can't you just accept it?" Edward growled, glaring with anger at his sister.
"Because, Edward. It's bad enough that there's one mutt that's always here, now there's another one that will actually live with us," she replied in disdain. "I-I gotta agree with her, man. Seth is cool and everything but Jacob is just going to be too much here," Emmett added.
Jasper cringed at the waves of anger and disappointment Edward was feeling towards his family and Alice's tight squeeze on his hand barely helped.
"We're sorry Edward but…" Carlisle said sternly, trailing off. Edward immediately knew what he was going to say but cut him off. "Fine, we'll go once my Jacob wakes up," Edward said, glaring at every one of his family members before running quietly upstairs. Carlisle sighed.
"I really don't want to have to take care of two dogs here in the house," Esme said quietly.
"Good riddance to both of them, then," Rosalie said, rolling her eyes and returned to filing her nails.
Jacob felt his whole body in pain as the blood coursing through his body flowed like lava, making him whimper in pain. The wolf in him, however, tried to soothe the pain in his spirit and let the venom merge with the wolf spirit, transforming it into something more beautiful and sinister.
Jacob started screaming in pain for hours when his muscles started to harden slowly, making him feel like his body was being pounded continuously by large boulders. "Edward, kill me please," was all he could say before he started shouting in pain again as the venom finally reached his eyes. It swirled in his bones, restructuring it and fortifying it. To Jacob, all he could feel was as if his ones were crushed over and over again. His skin turned as hard as diamond and turned into a light tan color and glowed when the sun hit it.
At the third day, Jacob finally gave up struggling and let the venom completely take over, allowing the wolf spirit to stay. The venom finally stopped its attack from his whole body and went to the heart, where Jacob bellowed in pain for seconds before everything suddenly stopped.
"Jacob?" Edward asked worriedly, hugging his slowly cooling mate close to him. Jacob wasn't the 108 degrees werewolf anymore but rather a body that was the same temperature as his mate.
The newborn's eyes blinked open, revealing the most beautiful blood red eyes Edward had ever seen. (He just thinks that…it's the same as every newborn's eyes).
