The events from earlier were running ramped throughout Jacob's entire body. As he lay awake in bed, his thoughts were diving into every crevasse, nerve-ending and nook that it desired. This sent his body into shock, experiencing searing pain along with pure joy like the butterflies in the pit of one's stomach when the car drives over a bump. Oh, how pain could feel so sweet. Feelings ripped into his body, unlocking the capability of possessing feelings that he tried so hard to suppress with Bella's absence. Fuck, was this imprinting thing a bitch for this hounddog.

Just as the slightest sliver of sun peaked out from underneath the curtains in his post-it note of a bedroom, there was a rather forceful knock at the door. Jacob could recognize this knock miles away; his father was absolutely seething and he wasn't about to stick around to find out. "Jacob!" The pounding was growing louder as he began to weigh his options, considering there was only so fast his father could go since he was incapacitated and could not outrun the common man, let alone a werewolf. "Open this god damn door, or I'll get the Wandwavers to break it down for me."

The mention of Wandwavers sent chills through his spine, both positive and negative. He had been reminded of the stories, not just of the cold ones. The bonfire tonight would surely refresh everyones memories and provoke animosity throughout the pack, even if it wasn't his pack he would be the one getting the skin crawling glares from The Elders as the fire ablaze in the center pit reflected the anger in their eyes. The imprint was key to falling into the Alpha spot on the totem pole: the last thing he had ever wanted. Although Hermione could not be harmed, her friends could. This would be a danger to them all. Wherever Jacob's heart falls, trouble lays over it like a sheet on a DOA at a crime scene. "Coming." Those words left his lips so faintly, he pondered if Billy had even heard him as he moved towards the door; bumping his hip against the edge of his dresser. He cursed under his breath as the force of which he had grabbed the knob almost tore it clean off the door while he swung it open. "What?!" The outburst was blown full force directly at Hermione, who unexpectedly took Billy's place at the front of the door with her wand loosely in hand. "I'm so…sorry." Was all that escaped, his husk voice now the tone of a small child who had spilled grape juice on the leather furniture.

She stumbled backwards, almost landing herself in Billy's lap. "I am so sorry, Mr. Black." Her dialogue was cut short as his ears no longer functioned for that brief moment, deeply distracted and intoxicated by her legs. Her lovely, long cream legs that were uncovered for what seemed to be for his eyes only. His mind began to flicker to those elegant legs around his waist as he pounded into her up against his Rabbit in the garage. Fuck.

The erection in his cutoff jean shorts was becoming visible quickly, creating a small tent as much as the fabric would stretch. "if you would both excuse me." The large young man gently pushed past the two in the hallway, refusing to look at anything other than the faded fabric of the carpet that lined the way into the hall bathroom. The door slammed shut and he was left with the solitude of his beige colored bathroom, free to do whatever he desired. He freed his raging erection to allow himself to breathe, gripping it in his hand before there was a knock at the door once again, followed by a soft, feminine british accent.

This was truly getting tiring for Hermione, ever since yesterday she had wanted some sort of closure for what had happened; doubting she would get any. "Jacob? I want to speak with you."

God, this woman had absolutely the worst timing in history but he loved her with everything in his bones, even if she didn't know it. "Could this be postponed?" The hopefulness was present in his voice whilst he tried stuffing himself back into his cargo shorts.

A/N: SORRY FOR THE SUPER LONG ABSENCE I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT AND THIS SHORT CHAPTER. This year has been awfully tough for me and I'm attempting to use writing as an escape once again. I hope this is a lot better style than my last few chapters considering I've been trying to get more experience.

So, please be kind and review. Leave suggestions in my inbox if you so prefer, or if you would like to be my beta and catch any of my atrocious mistakes that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!~~
