Stephanie Meyer owns all, except that girl. Thanks all for reading and for your comments, I am grateful for everyone of them and for you. Believe me there is no preaching here, I always saw Jacob's character as being very honest, he tells it like he sees it and always believed honesty is the best policy, call a spade a spade and don't try to call it diamonds. This chapter is a little slow. Hugzzzzz all.

Chapter Four

(Jacob's POV)

Making It Right.

I looked at the man, or could I even call him that, who is my enemy not just because I was born to protect the humans from his kind, but also because he held a part of my Bella.

"What do you want to talk about leech?" I growled in my mind at him

"I don't really want to talk to you either dog." He hissed at me as if that's really an insult. "But this is about Bella."

"What about her?" I was worried now

"It seems Victoria is still after her." He said calmly as if he was talking about the weather.

"What? Since we had not heard from her in a while, we figured she gave up."

"No, she has just been busy building an army."

"An army? What do you mean by that?" I wish he would just get to the point.

"Making new borns, turning humans into vampires. She plans on using them to take out Bella and your pack while she is at it, she is very angry that you prevented her from getting to Bella last summer." It seemed to actually kill him again to say the part he was about to. "We were planning on keeping her at our house and asking your pack to help us keep her safe, but it seems things have changed."

"What do you mean changed, changed how?" I started feeling hope, did she tell him she chose me after all?

"It seems you have won this round, but by what I see in your mind and your activity with a certain blond, you messed up even worst than I did."

"Look, I already know that and I will do everything in my power to make it up to her, right now all I want to know is what we need to do to protect Bella. That's all that is important now."

"Well, Victoria does not plan on coming anytime soon, she still has a lot of work to do with her new creations, so…"

"How do you know that?"

"Alice has seen all this, now as I was saying, Carlisle wants us to meet with your pack tomorrow night at nine. We need to work together to protect her. For precaution she will need to be with one of you or us at all times, Alice visions can be a little shaky, so we need to be cautious."

"Don't worry, we will keep her with us."

"If she let you." He said with a grin

"Don't worry about it. Is that all?"

"No, there is one more thing."

"And what is that?"

"I still plan on fighting for her." Then he was gone. I swear talking to him is like talking to a pole. I can barely bring myself to be civil or want to converse with him. If my conversations with him seems too one linerish, too damn bad. The smell that comes off them makes me want to puke.

I didn't care anyway, I had to get to Sam and tell him what was going on, maybe he and my dad can convince Bella to spend some time in La Push, so I can keep her safe, and while I'm doing that convince her how sorry I am. I don't care, I will throw out my man card, grovel if I have to. With hope in my heart I took off for Sam's

I was halfway to Sam's when something hit me, something I have to take care of at home first.

In twenty minutes I was in the woods by my house, phased, dressed and walking into my front door. My dad wasn't watching television so he must have went to bed already. I quietly walked towards his room and slowly opened his door to check on him. Yeah, he was fast asleep. I then walked to the room Chloe should have been sleeping in but she wasn't there, I thought maybe she had left, but the over powering scent of her perfume hit me as soon as I reached my room. I switched the light on and walked in, the sight that greeted me, shocked the crap out of me.

Chloe, was lying on my bed under the covers, and I could tell she was naked.

I crossed my arm at my chest. "What the hell are you doing here?' I asked angrily

She looked up at me, I guess she would call it sexy, I call it slutty. "I was just waiting for you." She smiled, slyly. "Thought you might change your mind of picking up where we left off."

I shook my head at her. "You just made it easy for me to do what I came to do."

She stretched her arms above her head. "What is that, you wanted to do?" She asked softly. Still smiling

I smiled back at her, then let it drop. "Get you the hell out of my house."

"Aw, come on Jacob." She pulled the covers off her and showed all her curves. "What guy can turn this up?" Then lets her hands move down and shape her hips. "

can prevent his self from being aroused by the sight of a naked woman." In what I assume to be her sultry voice. I need my ass whipped, not seeing the girl for what she was from the start.

"Maybe the guys you deal with can't." I grinned coldly. "But this man who has a woman who he loves and respect, can." I shook my head in disgust.

"I doubt if she truly loves you anyway, she did choose the other guy over you, while I have been here for you, have grown to love you." She said with a pout.

"You know what Chloe, if that's all you have to offer a man, and all a man wants from you, if you actually think sex is love, I feel sorry for you, because we all age and when you get to that point where you don't have that anymore."

I pointed at her, she covered herself quickly in the face of my scorn. "He'll move on to someone else, because without that deep emotional love, there would be nothing left. He can get your version of love anywhere, sex should happen because of love not the other way around and if all a person wants is sex, at least be honest about it and not put some false feelings behind it, don't confuse lust for love."

What's the use obviously she thinks the only true expression of love is physical, she is in for a rude awakening when her body withers and gets old.

"You know what, it's your life and If I didn't feel responsible for your man being angry at you, I would take you right back there." I turned my back on her. "Now get up, you have five minutes to dress, I'm taking you to Sam's." yeah, Leah will enjoy keeping her in line.

I walked out of my room, pissed, I can't believe I ever thought she would or could replace Bella in any way. Then I thought of something else. "Shit." I said loud enough for her to hear me. "Now, I have to burn that damn mattress!"

She came out in record time, we did not look at or talk to each other as we left the house and entered my car. The trip there was silent also. It was a relief when I finally reached Sam and Leah's house. I walked in with Chloe following behind.

"Hey Jake." Leah smiled and greeted me, her smile dropped as soon as she saw Chloe. "Everything okay?"

"Yeah, I just need to talk to you and Sam for a minute." I turned to Chloe. "Wait here, I'll be back." I refuse to discuss Bella around her."

"Come on, he's in the den." Leah said, leading the way.

"Jacob, what's going on?" He greeted when we stepped into the den

I got to the point and told him everything Edward told me.

"We'll meet with them." Was his reply. "She is one of us, so we'll do everything we can to keep her safe."

"I know you all will." I was thinking of how to approach the subject of Chloe. " Sam, I need a favor."

"Sure what it is."

I explained about the situation with Chloe and asked if she could stay there.

"Hell no." Leah replied, angrily then looked at me. "Okay, she can stay here tonight, tomorrow she can stay at my mom's."

"Thanks Leah." I said and kissed her cheek.

"Yeah, yeah." She replied

"I am gonna head back over to Bella's." I reached the front door, then turned back." Who is on patrol now?" I asked Sam

"Paul and Embry." Sam replied.

"Good." I said and walked back to the front door, where Chloe was still standing. "Later." I said without looking at her.

I jumped into my car and drove a little too fast back to Bella's. I know I could have left my car at Sam's, but after what Edward told me. I want to be prepared in case I had to get her out of there. I didn't park in front of her house, I parked down the street between some trees, got out undressed and phased. I got back to her house less than five minutes after I parked. Making sure the coast was clear, I quickly moved from out the woods and lay under her window.

I was laying there for about ten minutes, when my ears perked up and listened. Her heart beat was changing, it was starting to sound to erratic.

"No Jacob, run!" Came out as a scream. "No don't."

My hair stood on end, I jumped up and phased, without thinking what I was doing, and dressed. My wolf needed to protect it's mate, the man just needed to hold her and mad at me or not, I can't not do anything. Climbing up the tree, I cleaned over and banged on her window. I didn't think she would open it and when she did, she looked at me as if she was dreaming, then she stepped back and held out her arms and whispered on a sob.

"Jake."

That was all I needed. I jumped in her window right into her arms and picked her up sitting on the edge of the bed with her as she sobbed into my chest mumbling about, she thought I was hurt. Every tear she cried rip through me, my wolf was on edge and prowling around in me, wanting our mate calm and safe.

We sat there until her sobs died down to a sniffle, then stopped all together. She raised her head and looked up at me, then jumped out my lap suddenly and started to pound my chest with her fist, I could of stopped her, but I didn't, though it didn't hurt me, I was more worried about her breaking her hand, I know I deserved any pain she feels like inflicting on me, anything, as long as she doesn't ask me to leave.

With every pound she spoke, screamed at me. "How could you Jake? How could you?" more pounding. "I understand you felt you had to move on, because I had chosen Edward. Don't you think I hurt too when I had to do that. My god, it felt like my heart was being ripped from my chest. I was a coward, I was scared that you would imprint and leave me, what I felt after Edward left would not compare to what I would of felt if I had to watch you smiling that smile that was meant for me at some other girl, for you look at me as though I meant nothing to you. Giving all your love to her when I love you so damn much."

She seems to have lost her energy and sat down. "God Jake, I had decided that you were worth it. I love you so damn much that even one day with you as your woman would be worth any pain."

I watched her with as much tears falling from eyes as they were hers. She stared up at me, with her beautiful brown eyes. "You stole my heart when I was eight and you never gave it back, I never wanted you to. Did you…did you hate me so much Jake, you had that…that whore set me up, send me that hateful email, so you both can watch me literally die?" she shook her head as if trying to understand. "Why Jake? "

I couldn't take anymore I had to hold her. I went to pick her up, then something she said hit me in the gut. "Email? What email Bells."

"You know what email." She replied

"No, I don't Bells. The only email I wrote you since you chose Edward was a week after you left my house, in it I wrote that I loved you and no matter what, we would always be friends and I would always be there for you, but I never sent it. I saved it and was going to send it when the pain of not having you lessoned, but it never did."

As I explained that to her, I remembered a day ago coming in from patrol, walking into my room and caught Chloe just getting up from my computer, when I asked what she was doing. She said her pc had crashed and she needed to get an email out to her cousin who lived in Port Angeles. I thought nothing of it, frankly I didn't care what she was doing. I just needed my Bells.

I felt myself starting to shake from anger. I jumped up. "I'm going to kill that bitch!" I growled. Then I caught myself and remembered Charlie, she must have known what I was thinking.

"My dad had to work late tonight." Then she looked at me closely. "Are you saying you knew nothing about that email?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying. You know me Bella, I would never hurt you like that."

She looked down and played with the edge of the shirt she was wearing. "You were still there with her, have…having sex with her." She said quietly

I sat back down. "I know I was the biggest ass for doing that, for even attempting to do that, but we had just started when you got there, I had just entered her, I found no satisfaction there and even if you hadn't shown up, I would have found no pleasure in her. My soul, my body just wants you, only you." I willed her to believe me, to give me another chance. She can make me suffer for the rest of my life just as long as she is with me.

"Okay, I believe you, but you're still totally not off the hook, we are going to have to take the time to heal each other."

"That's okay, I deserve that." I held my arms out to her. "Bells, can I hold you, please baby?"

She seems to consider, then jumped up and ran into my arms, throwing her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist. I held her to me. "I love you so damn much baby." I breathed her scent into me and my wolf relaxed and was at peace

We sat there and just held each other until I felt her breathing change, I looked down into the beautiful face of my angel, she was fast asleep, but I continued to hold her.

I was about to scoot up and lay against the headboard, when I smelt that sickly, sweet smell and here he was again, Edward Cullen. I can't ever get one minutes peace with Bella. I put my finger to my lip for him to talk quietly, where only someone with our hearing would hear.

"You need to take Bella out of here." He said hurriedly

"Why? What's going on?" I asked,

"Alice saw some guys' coming here and trying to break in, intent on doing harm, all our secrets would certainly come out tonight if you don't leave."

"What are you going to do?" I said as I got up still holding Bella

"I will stay behind and chase them away, they won't even see me." Then he looked at her in my arms, then at me. "I'm only doing this for her. I still intend on winning her back"

"You can try, but I'll be damn if I let her go again." I replied without looking at him

She was wearing a pair of sweat pants and short sleeve t-shirt and a pair of footie socks so I just grabbed a blanket wrapped it around her shoulder and went downstairs and out the back door with her, carried her wrapped around me to the car, once or twice I thought she would wake up but she didn't. I got in the drivers seat with her still in my arms, I have no intentions of putting her down until we got to my house.

I was surprised to see my dad up when I got home, he was pretty shocked when he saw who I had in my arms.

"Is everything okay?" He asked worriedly, rolling over to us as I lay Bella on the sofa, wrapping the blanket snuggly around here.

"Edward showed up when I was at her house and advised we left, the pixie saw something happening at her house tonight. He wasn't too clear on what."

"She is sleeping deeply." He commented watching her.

"Yeah, I don't think she had a goodnight's sleep in a while." I bent down and softly kissed her lips.

I looked down at my dad and he was smiling softly. Then I turned my gaze back to her and remembered the scene in her room tonight. I was certain that Chloe broke into my email, some kind of way, and sent that message to Bella. No way in hell is she getting away with that.

"Watch her for me dad, I need to run over to Sam, I won't be too long."

"Sure son, but couldn't it wait until in the morning?"

"No dad, this is something I have to take care of tonight." I replied as I walked out the front door, to the edge of the woods, undress, tied my shorts to my ankle, phased and took off running.

I heard Paul and Embry trying to get into my mind but I blocked them. As soon as I got to the woods behind Sam's house, I did everything in reverse and walked to their front door and knocked, I knew it would be locked this time of night.

Sam answered "What's going on now Jacob? Leah and I were just getting ready to hit the sack, I have to start my patrol in another five hours." He stepped aside so I could go in.

"I'm sorry Sam, but I really need to speak to Chloe." I replied through gritted teeth as I made my way to their den with him right behind me.

"Okay, I'll get her and let you two talk." He left through a hall doorway and in five minutes Chloe was standing in front of me

"You wanted me Jacob?" She asked, smiling with her double meaning comment.

If she only knew, if she was a man, I would have her head slammed into that wall. I looked her dead in the eyes.

"Tell me about the email you sent my mate.!"
