A/N: A warning to all: It will take a while before Jacob and Edward meet, so please be patient with me while I work through all this. Don't get mad, pretty please!
And another thing, when the boys do get to America everyone might seem as though it's happening very fast, I'm sorry, it's just that I was trying to keep things within a month so yeah, it might seem as though the boys are meeting their mates too fast, but I can assure their relationship will take a while to develop so yeah, that's all.
Notes:
Werewolves and Vampires still exist. Both beings have their own Kingdoms.
The Cullen's' are all Human.
The Wolf pack is still Wolves.
Volturi are the main Vampire Kingdom, there are Vampires in others places in the world, but they all follow the rules made by the Volturi.
All of Billy's sisters (the oldest and the younger ones) will be his cousins instead of his sisters.
Jacob is an only child and Rachel and Rebecca are his maternal cousins or something.
Sexuality isn't really a big thing in Jacob's Kingdom; he marries who is most fitting for him - his Mate/Imprint.
The existence of Werewolves and Vampires is well-known even among the Humans. Most Humans prefer to not interact with the two species, but they don't mind/they can't do much about it.
Imprinting is a bit different here. The Wolf doesn't immediately Imprint on their soul Mate like in the books and movies, but instead the Wolf identifies his Imprint then woos them and when the Imprint accepts the Wolf then the Wolf Imprints.
During the time that the Wolf is wooing his intended, the Imprinted is referred to as a Mate until they accept the Wolf and then are Imprinted upon.

aidabye: I'm happy to hear that :))... Oh I know they are *wink_wink*.
luvinlapush: How will the little town of Forks handle all these sexy beasts? Who knows! It kinda will take a while for them to meet, I'm trying to build up the tension what with the clock ticking and Jacob needing a Mate... But yeah, they'll meet and be all lovey-dovey and joined at the hip and all that... And here is more for you :)).
paw2001: Thank you, I'm hoping you'll like how it progresses.
Drpep Mrwater: Wow, I'm glad you're liking it so far *happy_dance* I loved your idea the moment I read it so yeah... I'm happy I could write this for you :)). Sure, I can do that, but I'd kinda already written her as nice Bella, but that can easily be turned into an illusion. We'll just say Bella's only nice when things go her way, once they don't, she becomes spoilt princess and all temper tantrum throwing and all that and this will completely changed the boy's prespective of the girl. I can totally do that for you :)), so Charlie and Rosalie shall be another couple and Rosalie will take none of Isabella's nonsence. Leah will make an appearance here and there of course, coz what's a story without our awesome she wolf? No, it's cool, I'm glad you're bringing them in, it helps with the writing process, the more ideas the more I can write new chapters. Thank you for that :)).
kasialeg: Thank you and here is more :)).
Rat3000: He is isn't he.. Whow, that sexy princely beast! I shall be doing that for you.

The One To Fit My Better Half
Jacob stood outside the ballroom for a moment. He could hear the loud chatter of the guests. He looked behind him at his guard then turned back to the double door. With a deep breath and a nod the doors were pushed open and Jacob entered. He found his father already waiting for him at the entrance that led to the ballroom. The King was supposed to enter first and Jacob would follow soon after where after they would both pick dancing partners.
"Jacob," the King said, smiling at his son.
"Dad," Jacob replied, smiling back at his father.
"Are you ready?" Jacob sighed then nodded, fixing his tux, tie and cuffs.
"As ready as I'll ever be." William Black also did a last minute touch up before turning to the Herald and nodding his head.
The Herald bowed his head gracefully towards the King and Prince then turned back to the packed hall. He thumped his rod – for lack of better word – on the ground twice and got the attention of the ballroom's occupants. "Presenting, His Majesty King William Black the Second, King of La Push Isles." The King nodded at his son before walking through into the ballroom.
Jacob stood at the entrance, waiting for his turn to be announced. He was fighting nerves and annoyance in equal parts. Of course he was nervous, things like these always got him nervous; it couldn't be helped. The annoyance though, was caused by the thought that had entered his mind while he was getting ready. The idea of having to dance with all eligible bachelorettes and bachelors of the courts just annoyed him, he didn't want to do it, they all knew that none of them were 'the One' for the young Prince. They wouldn't be trying to impress only the Prince though; they'd also be trying to get the King's attention. It was common knowledge among the royals that if Prince Jacob failed to find a Mate before his coronation then his father would have to pick him a partner and use the Superior Imprint Order.
The Herald turned to Jacob, indicating to him that the King had reached the bottom and had greeted all the guests and it was the Prince's turn to do the same. Jacob nodded and the Herald turned back to the court. "Presenting, His Royal Highness Prince Jacob Ephraim Black, Prince of La Push Isles." Jacob heard the drumroll and fanfare as it had been done with his father when he'd entered.
The Prince walked into the ballroom smiling kindly at the crowd of people they congregated the room. He walked down the stairs calmly, exuding power as he walked past guest who bowed respectfully at their Crowned Prince. Jacob nodded at each person, greeting some of them personally, as he walked towards his father who stood at his throne at the head of the hall. Jacob bowed at his father and the King nodded his head.
The King nodded then stepped forward and walked towards his favourite cousin Nora. He bowed and she curtsied and they both started to dance. Jacob sighed subtly, knowing he needed to pick a dance partner too. He slowly walked around, nodding his head and smiling at people as he passed. Most of the people his age had expecting smiles and he avoided them.
Jacob's smile grew as he spotted a familiar face. He walked towards the person, the crowd making a path for him. Jacob stood before the blonde haired beauty who was one of the few royal friends he had – he'd go so far as calling her his only royal friend. He loved her very much and for a while thought she might be 'the One' but later realised that his feelings were more platonic then romantic.
Princess Rosalie Hale was the daughter of a French Princess and an English Duke. She was their only daughter, their only child. The Princess was known for her sharp tongue and her dislike of people. You were lucky if she even got to the point of liking you. Jacob had told her once that she liked him, but the blonde had replied with the works, 'No Jacob, I don't like you, of course not. I love you, you're my brother'. She'd been a bit drunk then and refused to admit she'd ever said any of that.
Jacob bowed, smiling at the blonde and Rosalie curtsied, smiling back at the Prince. Jacob held his hand out and Rosalie took it gracefully with tiny hands and allowed the Prince to lead her onto the floor. The Prince bowed and the Princess curtsied once more before they started to dance.
After a while others around them began to join in too. For a while Jacob switched dance partners, dancing with all the bachelors and bachelorettes, trying to keep up conversation and swiftly dodging the marriage topic whenever it came up. When it was suitable, Jacob left the floor and walked over to Rosalie who stood by a table that held all sorts of delicacies, pulling a face as she watched one of the Princes stuffing their face with food.
"I always warned you about that face," Jacob said in a joking manner. "Now look, it can't be removed."
"Shut it Wolf," Rosalie sneered turning to face the Wolf Prince. "It's disgusting the way he eats like that. He should be put on a leash or something." Jacob laughed at the girl as she continued to stare at the man her parents were trying to arrange a marriage with. "How can they think I'd ever want something like that?"
"I'm sure he's not that bad," Jacob tried, though he too couldn't help pulling a face as he watched the Prince stuff his face with as much food as possible.
"Please get me out of here before I puke all over someone!" Jacob nodded gratefully – he'd been ignoring all the people who'd been trying to get his attention all night. He held out his hand and Rosalie took his graciously.
"With pleasure!" Jacob led them out the glass doors that led to the garden area. They dropped their hands when they were away from the crowd and allowed each other to relax and be themselves. They continued into the garden until they reached the middle of the garden where a fountain was placed, two howling Wolves standing in the middle side-by-side though facing opposite directions.
The fountain was on, the lighting casting a glowing blue colour into the water, making it look majestic, almost magical. Rosalie sat at the edge and touched the water. "I love this fountain; it's so much prettier than the one back home."
"Mm, it's not so bad." Jacob slowly began to pace in front of Rosalie. The blonde looked at him expectantly, knowing that he had much to get off his chest.
"Are you going to make me beg for answers?"
"No. I'm gathering my thoughts."
"M'kay." Rosalie continued to twirl her fingers in the water while Jacob paced. After a while the Wolf Prince sighed and turned to look at the blonde. Rosalie sat up straighter, waiting for the Wolf to speak.
"I've been given a month from the end of the week to find a Mate."
"I can see the problem there." Rosalie knew the story well. On occasions Jacob would call her and rant about the council nagging him about finding a wife or husband.
"They've allowed me to go to America to find her or him."
"Well that's a good thing isn't it? There are a lot more people there then here."
"Hmm..."
"Where are you going to stay?"
"I don't know. I haven't been given all the information as yet. I'll probably get it after the celebration."
"Obviously." Jacob sighed.
"How can I be given a month Rosa? It's already taken me this long to look and still I haven't found my Mate, do they even realise just how little a month is?" Rosalie was quiet as she watched her 'brother' pace with agitation.
"It doesn't take much to find a Mate for Wolves' right? You just look at the person and you know!"
"Yes, but-."
"Then that's easy."
"But I can't convince someone that they were made for me in a month! How do we know that my Mate isn't Human?"
"Oh come on Jacob, that's the dumbest excuse I've ever heard, and I've made a lot of excuses about why I shouldn't marry any of the men my parents try to set me up with."
"Rosa-."
"Don't even! Look, you'll find him, and he'll love you like nobody's loved you before. He is made for you after all. It would be hard not to fall in love with your sweet, childish self."
"Rose, why do you always refer to my Mate as a he?"
"Because I'm not afraid to admit that you swing that way."
"You're not afraid to admit it?"
"Yes. Pup, we both know that you like guys a little more than you like the ladies." Jacob opened his mouth to protest but Rosalie held her hand up and stopped him. "Don't try to deny it, I know you too well." Jacob sighed before huffing and sitting down beside Rose.
"What if I don't find him? What if the month ends and-."
"Don't think like that. You'll find him, I know it!" Rosalie grinned suddenly before pulling out a small purse from some deep hidden pocket of her dress. She pulled out a coin and handed it to Jacob.
"What's this?" the Prince asked, looking at the coin confused.
"A coin dumbo, what does it look like."
"Why are you giving me a... Oh!"
"Exactly. Toss it and make a wish." Jacob grinned at the girl and stood. If he didn't find his Mate he'd be more than happy to settle with her, though it would be weird for a while since he thought of her more as a sister than anything else.
"Okay then!" Jacob took a deep breath then tossed the coin into the water, shutting his eyes and concentrating on his wish. He knew it was silly, but he would've done anything. When his wish was done Jacob opened his eyes and found Rosalie smiling at him.
"There! First wish done."
"First wish?"
"Yes. Every night from today until the end of this celebration we'll come here and you'll make a wish." Jacob shook his head though he grinned at the blonde.
"Alright then. Deal!" Jacob heard shuffling behind him and turned quickly, already on the defence only to find Paul and Leah standing a bit away from them. He rolled his eyes, knowing by the looks on the guard's faces that they'd been sent by Sam, and turned back to Rosalie. "Let's head back; this place suddenly has too many ears."
Rosalie spotted the two guards and nodded.
"Sure Wolf."
Jacob took the blonde's hand and helped her up before leading her back into the hall. Before long he was being swarm by potential partners and parents, trying to find who he'd end up marrying. Rosalie, feeling sorry for him, spent the rest of the night with her hands on his arm and a scary scowl on her face.
At around midnight the King got everyone's attention. He thanked all the people for joining the royal family in the week long celebration the Prince's 21st birthday. He informed the crowd of the rooms prepared for them and who they should go to for information on the room. He told they could stay as long as they wanted in the ballroom but reminded them that tomorrow was still another day. Bidding the crowd goodnight the King left the ballroom.
Once the King was gone some of the older guests decided to turn in while the younger ones – mostly those that were still available for marriage – stayed back. Jacob only spent another hour in the ballroom before he too left the ballroom, heading to his own room quickly.
He was glad to see Sam standing, waiting by his door. The head guard looked at him knowingly. Some of the prospective partners tended to think they could try their luck with the Prince during the night and so security was usually tight during these events. As Jacob walked passed him, Sam bowed his head respectfully and Jacob nodded before disappearing into his room, shutting and locking the door behind him.
The Prince pulled off his clothes and placed them neatly on a chair where Emily would find them in the morning. He pulled on a pair of cotton pyjama pants then proceeded to do a quick check around his room – though he was sure it'd already been done, you could never be too sure.
When Jacob found that no one was hiding somewhere in his room, the Prince sighed and got into bed. It wasn't long before he was fast asleep.
