Lana's POV

My eyes fluttered open as I tried to get a bear on my surroundings. My body felt like it was weighted down by led and I could tell I wasn't in my room. I was lying down in a big bed and as I struggled to sit up the bed creaked underneath me and the door bust open. Jacob was the first in the room followed by Asher, Mason, Dax, Paul, Sam, and Remmy. The door was shut behind them and I looked at all of them groggily and before I could say anything Sam jumped in. "What happened? Who attacked you?" I put a hand to my head as a pulsing headache spread through my body and Jake looked like he wanted to come to me but he didn't. He stayed where he was while Mason came over and pulled me into him. "Leave my little sister alone she just woke up." He growled. I looked at Mason shocked. It was rare he ever displayed too much emotion to me and I smiled at him gratefully.

"It wasn't the Cullens who bit me." I said quietly. I would know. A man with bright red eyes and shaggy brown hair evaded my mind and a cry escaped my lips. His twisted smile light up before my eyes and his words sounded in my mind. I'll come back for you, Lana. I will always come back for you. I crawled into Mason's arms and I was silent for a moment as he stroked my back and brushed my hair back. I felt someone touch my arm and I jerked back looking up. Jacob growled as I looked at Dax terrified.

My body was rejecting Dax, everything inside of me was crawling at the idea of Dax comforting me. I wanted Jacob to hold me and hug me and tell me everything was okay. I sniffed and looked at Dax confused.

"You almost smell like-" I took another smell and I stopped dead looking up at Dax. "You smell like Remmy." I noted carefully. That wasn't weird. They had been really close lately ever since Remmy started getting older. I paused again alarm bells ringing in my head but between the migraine and prying eyes I couldn't think of what exactly it was. Dax looked at me nervously and I was just about to ask him a question nagging in the back of my mind when Sam cut me off.

"If it wasn't the Cullens then who is it?" He demanded looking at me intently. Jacob came over to me without a word and sat beside me putting a comforting hand on my thigh before glaring at Sam. "Let her breathe she just woke up." I looked down at his hand and my face turned red. I wanted to reach over and put my hand over his but I resisted the urge fidgeting with the end of my shirt.

I did a double take looking at the shirt and relized I wasn't wearing my shirt and I wasn't even wearing pants. The shirt was baggy and loose hanging to my midthigh and I crossed my legs at the ankle self conscience with how exposed I was. Jacob looked over noticing and his cheeks turned pink as he moved his hand from my bare thigh, the warmth that was fluttering through my body being stolen from me. "S-sorry, I just. You were so dirty when you came in." He explained stuttering over his words. "Its my shirt." He explained. I looked at him for a moment and his cheeks turned a darker pink. "I didn't change you, I mean I would but I-" He looked around flustered and just stayed quiet pressing his lips together hard.

Dax stood at the end of the bed watching Jacob and me intently, his eyes narrowing and I could see an unspoken fury pass through his hazel gaze before he leaned against the wall putting up that wall he always set up when something bothered him. I wanted to go to him and comfort him, but I didn't I just stayed still enjoying the fact that for once Jacob was acknowledging that I was a human being and not some speck of dust he could care less about. I looked at Sam then and he was waiting somewhat irritated but not jumping at me. "I don't know who it was who bit me but he definitely seemed to know me." I told him fighting the urge to vomit.

The way he looked at me after he bit me made my skin crawl. He bit me. My brow furrowed and I looked around confused. "How am I even still alive?" I asked to no one in particular. No one survived a vampire bite. Well not one wolf anyway, and here I am living and breathing. I looked at my brother and he shrugged slightly and squeezed me tight. "I don't care how your alive. Just that you are." Asher said smiling down at me. I pulled from my brother and crawled to the end of the bed standing up. My legs were sore as if they hadn't been used in days. I stretched popping my back and Paul looked at me from my thighs up to my lazy smile I shot at him. "In your dreams wolfy boy." I smiled patting his cheek. Jacob glared at Paul and got up from the bed coming beside me and looking at everyone. "Get out now! She probably wants to get dressed and we need to talk anyway." He told them looking everyone in the eye.

"She's my girlfriend." Dax stated not moving and Jacob whirled on him fast. "I don't care who you are. She's my imprint and we both know you don't care about her in the least." I took an intake of breath.

There it was the elephant in the room. Jacob had admitted to everyone that I was his imprint, he was putting his claim on me. Asher looked at me shocked and Dax was oddly quiet but I've known him for a long time and silence was never good. His rage was a molten hot silent one and when he finally decided to get you there would be nothing to stop him. He began walking out of the room and as he passed me he grabbed me roughly by the waist making me wince and a whimper escaped my lips before he bent down kissing my jaw affectionately. "I'll see you at home babygirl." He told me releasing me and walking off.

Repulsion swam through my whole body. When Dax touched me it was wrong. It just felt like I was dating someone I didn't love anymore but I did love Dax I suppose I just wasn't in love with him anymore. Jacob had scooted strangely close to me as everyone filed out and as the door shut behind them he turned to look at me with an odd look on his face. "You should sit down." He said gruffly guiding me to the bed and I sat turning my body towards him and patiently waited.

A silence grew in the room until finally I cleared my throat, "You wanted to talk to me?" I trailed off trying to leave him room to speak. Jacob nodded and he reached for my hand clasping it in his own. His fingers interlocked with mine and I felt my heart skip a beat and it felt like butterflies were swarming in my stomach.

"Lana, I know that I'm supposed to be with you now and make this whole thing work and let everything fall into place and drift off into the sunset." He began and just like that the warm giddy feeling evaporated from my body and I wondered for a moment if it had ever really been there. This was not going to be a good talk it seemed. My jaw clenched and I swallowed hard nodding for him to continue. "However, I just can't do that. I have an obligation to Bella." He explained pausing before continuing. "I need to show her that being with a vampire is just wrong. I could give her the world she truly deserves. There are other guys I'm sure that are normal who could give it to her but weather or not she'd like to admit it she loves me and she loves Edward. So out of those two choices its only me. I'm the only one who can show her this world and give her a happiness." Jacob finished and he looked in my eyes and I almost looked at him appalled as he searched for understanding or sympathy in my eyes. Apparently Jacob was not well enough acquainted with me.

"You speak of obligations but you know nothing about them. You have an obligation to me as your fucking imprint to at least try and don't say you don't feel that connection with me because you do. I can feel it." I put my hand over my heart and I stood up beginning to pace to try and calm my anger and jealousy. "Jake you can't sit here and claim me as yours in one instance and then have Bella as well."

Jacob stood up and glared down at me. "How can you even begin to lecture me on this when you have a boyfriend?" He shouted. I took a step back from him and leveled my gaze on him evenly.

"Because I know who I really want to be with Jake." I said softly walking towards the door, "But do you?" I murmured looking back at him sadness creeping into my eyes as I shut the door behind me.

Jacob's POV

I tapped my pencil against my desk and stared off out the window three words echoing in my mind. But do you? The words Lana whispered before she left my house last I know who I wanted to be with? Hell yes. I wanted to be with Bella but I needed to be with Lana. It was like the idea of not having Bella wasn't very bothering but the notion that I couldn't have Lana felt like the end of the world. I knew if I told Lana that I wanted Bella it would break her heart. I could see the pain in her eyes when I told her I had to be with Bella over her. I could clearly remember Leah telling me that not saying anything was worse than choosing but now that I've chosen it feels like being silent would have caused me less pain.

That's because you made the wrong choice. My mind whispered to me. I shook my head, there was no way I had made the wrong choice I was saving Bella and how could that be the wrong choice? As the bell rang for the end of the day I got out of my classroom jogging out of school and to my bike. The res got out of school before Forks maybe if I actually seen Bella I'd feel better about my choice. I'd actually feel the rightness of it rather than the regret I was feeling now. I hopped on my bike and screeched off of the campus the smell of burning rubber assaulting my nostrils.

As I rode my mind kept wandering back to Lana, she hadn't been here today and Remmy said she didn't know where she was. I honestly didn't know what to make of that. A part of me wanted to find her and make sure she was okay. No I needed to see Bella first. I bit on the bottom of my lip indecision weighing through me and I decided just to reach out and feel for where she was so I knew she was safe. I concentrated hard slowing down the bike a little bit and relaxed my mind.

I could feel her pull instantly. It was like a small string that was vibrating and beckoning me closer. She didn't feel in danger but she felt wry and extremely uncomfortable. Where the hell was this girl? Curiousty won over as I veered from my path and started driving closer to Lana instead and the closer I got the more a sense of dread wormed its way into me. I was beginning to become very aware of where I was and by the time I reached where she was I paused coming up short. I looked up at the house and my brow was furrowed as Bella walked out of the door and came to hug me. I could smell the Cullens stench rolling off of the house in waves and underlying it was the sweet scent of vanilla and brown sugar.

Why would Lana be at the Cullen's? Bella's voice snapped me from my reverie, "How did you know I was here?" She asked me. I paused trying to think of something quick. If I told her it was because of Lana then she'd probably figure out the imprint thing sooner rather than later. Unless Lana already told her. Shit shit shit. At that moment I heard Lana laugh from inside the house and I burst through the door following her scent into the living room where she was reading from an open book sitting on their couch across from Carlisle. It was only them and Emmett in the room and my eyes narrowed suspiciously. "What's going on?" I growled.

Lana looked up at me startled and cocked an eyebrow. "I'm reading what does it look like?" she asked. I looked at her stunned. After a run in with a vampire what made her want to sit in a house full of ones? Lana sighed as if reading my mind and looked up into my eyes from her seat. "I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with me." She said quietly. Carlisle looked at her like a parent would a child and smiled at her softly.

"Different doesn't mean wrong Lana, just because your special doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you in the least." Carlisle pat her leg comfortably and she looked at him with a mixture of discomfort but also a small amount of trust and caring. I just looked around confused at them and Emmett spoke up, "She wants to know why she didn't die when she was bit by that vampire the other night. She came here because she said we were supposed to be the not so bad guys." He shrugged for a moment before continuing, "She also wanted to know why she smelled different. So far we've come up with nothing at all." Lana stood up then and smiled at Carlisle and Emmett. "I should probably get going anyway. I'll try to find some other books for possibilities in the meantime tell me if you come across anything." She insisted.

My eyes trailed her every movement as she told them goodbye and headed out the house. Bella long gone from my direction of thought I followed her out into the woods where she was walking and caught up with her spinning her to face me. "Look I know you want to know what's different about you but there has to be another way then keeping in contact with them." I told her my eyes boring into her to make my point.

"Look Jake, its not a social meeting its just something I really want to know." Lana could be so confusing and perfect at the same time. It was as if I sensed all of her vulnerability at being a freak and all of her confidence in just being special.

I wanted to kiss her. Her lips were full and luscious and she licked them now before she spoke again, "I don't know what I am and that scares me." I wanted to take all of her fear away because she didn't need it when she was with me. I was meant to protect her it was my job. The fact that I could smell the Cullens on her made me want to bathe her in kisses and nips to claim her. The only man I wanted her to smell like was me. I leaned into her and she lifted up on her tip toes gracefully. I could see her eyes start to flutter shut and mine did the same, just a little closer and her lips would be mine. I felt the heat radiate from her lips and her whole body. It was all craving to be mine and just as our lips began to brush a howl cut through the air and we stumbled apart like the two hormonal teenagers we are.

It was Sam calling us, all of us, because right now there was a vampire on the res. My body stiffened and I started pulling my clothes off to transform and Lana had already stripped her shirt off throwing it in a smile pile along with her bra. My body shivered and I stopped unbuttoning my jeans as I seen her pull hers down with her back facing me. Her flawless back that led down to her perfect ass that was now exposed to me as she pulled her thong off and shifted into a beautiful white wolf. The change was clawing at me as I continued stripping and I shifted easily following after her and howled. Lana looked back at me her eyes still that beautiful blue green color and she barked at me putting on a burst of speed as we ran into the one vampire who could threaten to tear us away from each other.
