Chapter 4- Jacob

I will apologize in advance if I get certain details screwed up

But anyhow, I write these because I enjoy Twilight, I am not perfect, but I love

Meyer's works. Thanks again for reading and reviewing!

I shouldn't have come here.

I ran off to find my pack, and instead I find Leah.

Naked.

She was wet from La Push beach water, and I guess she was trying to hurry and change clothes at my house, in my room. I paused in the doorway, my breath catching as I eyed her lean backside.

"Jake, you should knock sometimes." She said without rushing to throw on something. These days my pulse runs on erratic, and my hormones are discombobulated, and so usually Leah looks like a sister to me, and smells like a family friend.

Before I knew what was happening, I had her on my bed grabbing fistfuls of her dark hair. I couldn't allow her to put any stitch of clothing on. Unfortunately, Leah was a bit too accepting. Other times she would banter back and forth with me, why couldn't she do that now? Let me have my pride? Instead she opened her legs wider for me, and I caught her scent and moaned.

"Leah…"

Her eyes half opened said everything. She had wanted this from the very beginning. Me, being the Alpha dog, and her being my female second command, would make a great pack, a great team. But I wouldn't have called her a lover.

"I have to have you here. Just this once." She traced her tongue around my lips. Oh my poor body! My poor soul.

I leaned into her and sniffed her neck. She smelled so sweet, and she was beautiful, but something stopped me.

"I can't Leah." I pushed myself from her; she clasped her legs about my hips.

"So a vampire or half human breed is good enough, but not me?"

"Leah, you knew how I felt about those two."

She grunted, and pushed me off the bed completely. "One of these days," she said pulling on a shirt-finally. "You will see that neither of them are for you. I don't care about all that soul stuff. You've seen what it has done to me…" she pulled on some pants.

"I know Leah. I could never hurt you like that. My heart belongs to Nessie."

"Your heart is dangling around like fresh meat. That Bella wants it, and Nessie has it-geesh I don't know how you go through life."

"I drag through it like most wolves." I walked over to her, and gave her a half hug. "You will find someone Leah. A man who would treat you like the Queen that you are. I am nowhere like that man." I went outside to find Sam and Seth and the gang. I left Leah in my room, with eyes bright as crystals, hoping I'd be her Prince Charming, or sex fix.

After spending time with my group, I talked to Sam who said he had found something attached to my door knob earlier.

"Looks like a letter and smells like them."

I took the envelope from him and opened it. Sam was wrong. The scent was vampire, but also smelled like Paradise.

Like Bella.

Jacob,

If you get this letter, just know I understand how you feel torn between me and my daughter. Yes, it is wrong to try and take you from her-how selfish can a mother be? Yet, I am selfish because I love Edward, and am hopelessly in love with you. I am writing this to let you know that my life will end here in Volturi. Edward will already be here to see my remains…

I closed the letter, then opened it to reread, but never finished. I tore it to shreds. Sam wanted to know what was the matter, all I remember doing was gathering some things and telling him I need some vacation time.

"It's about Bella, huh?" He asked me shaking his head.

"I can't talk about it right now. I just need you to come with me."

I didn't know anything about catching flights, nothing at all. So I had help by going online and booked a flight for Florence, Italy. I did not want Bella, really. Maybe I could stop her from making such a dumb mistake after all. Hurting Edward like she did me was foul play.

Once I got to Florence, I came upon Volturi City. It definitely was the place for vamps. Of course I wasn't stupid enough to come alone. Seth, Sam. Quil, and Embry joined me, and me remained as inconspicuous as we can.

"I, for one, think you and Bella deserve each other. I mean, her daughter is too cute for you. I can have her." Quil joked as we walked up to what we thought would be where Bella was.

I can smell her.

"Don't talk like that Quil. I love them both."

Embry jumped in. "It's new millennium, you can have both when Nessie gets older. If you know what I mean," he nudged my shoulder. I pushed him so hard he spun and almost hit an old guy in the street.

My mind was too focused on Bella right now. Edward should be here already. Poor Nessie. Bella resents her for being born, and here I am chasing Bella. I must remind myself, it is just to stop her from doing something stupid. She is not dead- yet.

"Hey!" We heard a shout and as sure as my name is Jacob Black, a smell so pungent hit my nose and stung me.

Quil crouched down, about to blast into fur.

We were spotted by a vampire.

I knew it would happen anyway.

But then I saw a lovely brown skinned lady walking next to the pale faced man with a black hood over his head. Her green eyes scanned us all while he looked at each of us in fury.

"Jacob Black," she said. "You should have come sooner, friend. Bella needed you."
