Many of you asked me to do it so I am: I will continue this story.

And you know what? Each day I'm getting more ideas to finish this and I think it will be a beautiful story.

Thank you guys for insisting and believing in me.

Enjoy!


Without wanting to wake Bella up, Seth stood up and carried her to her room. He laid her on her bed and looked at her.

She was beautiful even when she was sleeping.

Seth then remembered the images he had briefly seen in Jacob's mind when they were in wolf form. Each time he did it, Jacob would be mad at him.

He fully understood Jake's situation; the guy had finally gotten the girl of his dreams, only to have her imprinted on by his pack brother. Seth didn't even understand the fact that he was still alive; he had just imprinted on the Alpha's girlfriend.

Seth left Bella's room and headed to his own. He jumped into his bed which protested with a loud 'crink' noise.

The conversation he had had with Bella not more than fifteen minutes before was buzzing in his head. She actually needed him in her life. Not just want him around because he's in the family, she needed him. She even cried her eyes out about it. And she didn't want to him to have a girlfriend...

For Seth that only meant one thing: she was feeling the imprint. She was starting to feel the pull towards him. She didn't want him to go.

At this realisation Seth smiled and felt like making a thousand cartwheels around his room.

But the smile disapperared when realized that he had forgotten about a major factor in this story : he couldn't have Bella.

And he couldn't forget the feeling of having Bella sleeping in his arms so he decided to go on a run. He left his t-shirt and shorts in in his room and headed towards the back door in the kitchen wearing only his boxers.

'Mom will kill me if I keep ruining clothes.' he thought.

He couldn't phase in Forks territory so he ran into the woods behind the house until he reached the Quileute border. There he phased in mid air, just like Jacob had thaught him, back when they were still friends.

Seth ran freely enjoying the speed and the feeling of the ground underneah his paws. Sensing that he was alone, he let his thoughts wander around his head.

"You didn't tell her, did you?" Jacob's thought appeared suddenly in Seth's head.

'Shit, he heard me.' Seth thought.

"You bet I did. Did this scene," Jake showed Bella in Seth's arms "really happen or whas it one of your little fantasies?"

Seth sighed. "It really happened. It wasn't on purpose : she was crying, I just gave her my shoulder like the good brother I am. I'll see you later" he answered and started heading back to his house to avoid the worst.

"Seth, don't go yet. I want you to phase back. We need to talk." Jacob instructed him.

Even though he was avoiding it, the worst really came: to bite him in the butt.

Seth already knew what Jacob meant when he said that he wanted to 'talk'. And he really wasn't in the mood for it at the moment.

"Jake, man, really. Not right now. I really have to-"

"Seth, PHASE NOW!" Jacob said in his alpha voice.

And against his will, his body changed back to human. Jacob followed him.

They stood there facing each other naked. They had been phasing for so long together now, that they didn't even notice that detail anymore. Except before when they were with Leah.

Seth put his head down and sighed. "Just do it Jake. As a member of your pack I'll do whatever you say. But as your friend I'll just tell you one thing: think about her first, how she will feel. Because you know how important I am to her. We've been doing this same thing everytime something like this happens for three years now. Think about it Jake."

Jacob clenched his fists and closed his eyes. He had learned how to control the wolf inside him a long time ago, but knowing that Seth was right made his wolf angry.

Jacob shook his head in denial and Seth saw it. He knew that he was deciding to ignore his conscience and what was right.

"Seth, you will not touch Bella or let her touch you in any way. And you will not tell her about this conversation." Jacob ordered him.

Seth felt his body accept the order and nodded.

"You can go home now." Jacob said as he was leaving.

"As if I'm going to do that now..." Seth mumbled under his breath while he went back to his wolf-self.

Three hours after running around the woods and taking his rage on almost every innocent tree in front of him, he went back home. It had been nearly two months since the last time he had needed to do that. He had thought that Jacob had finally accepted his place in Bella's life. But apparently he hadn't.

Since he had forgotten to leave a pair of shorts outside, he climbed a tree that was right in front of his bedroom window. He opened the it and glided in gracefully. As he finished putting his sweatpants, someone knocked on the door as if on cue.

He could feel and smell her on the other side of the wooden door. So he turned his back to it and faced the window. He took a deep breath and felt almost relieved.

"Yes!" he answered.

"Hey Seth." Bella greeted him cheerfully.

"Hey Bells." he greeted her back without looking at her.

Bella walked over to his bed and sat down. They stayed there in silence.

"Thank you for, uhm, listening to me earlier. I really needed to, let all of that out." she said quietly, but loud enough for him to hear.

Seth nodded and smiled. He turned around to face her. Big mistake. He was now looking at her simple but beautiful pale-skinned face and couldn't take his eyes away.

'You're her brother Seth, you're her brother Seth...' he repeated in his head.

"That's what brothers are for, right?" Then he looked down again.

Bella looked up and smiled. She also took in Seth's shirtless torso glistening with sweat. Her eyes told her to look away but something inside her wanted hold him with all of her strength. Seth didn't see her stare at him like this.

She stood up and headed towards Seth. As she leaned in to hug him, he took a step back unconsciously. Almost as if he had been programmed to do it. In a way, he had been.

'Stupid order.' Seth thought for the bilionth time that day.

Bella frowned and looked at Seth. She shook her head and thought that maybe she wasn't close enough to him.

So she moved towards him and once again, Seth stepped away.

Bella frowned again and looked at him. Seth turned his face and looked out the window to avoid eye contact with Bella.

"Seth is everything alright? Why can't I give you a hug?" she asked him with worry.

Seth searched furiously for an excuse in his head until he found the most appropriate one.

"As you can see, I just came back from a run; so I'm all dirty and sweaty and stuff. I'm not hugging you because that would be disgusting to you, I think..." Seth tried to explain to Bella.

She nodded in understanding. "Yeah, of course. How stupid of me..." she laughed uneasily and put her hand on her forehead.

Seth nodded back." I'll just go have a shower." He grabbed his towel and headed to bathroom leaving Bella in his bedroom.

Under the hot water, Seth cursed himself. He hated having to lie to Bella. Not only because he was her 'brother' but because she was his imprint. And every inch of his body protested and tortured him everytime that Jacob gave him an order and he had to hurt her that way.

Seth couldn't keep doing this to Bella or to himself.

He stepped out of the shower and looked in the mirror.

"Tomorrow Jake, I'm going to see you. And we are going to talk."
