Jacob Black:
As much as I wanted to focus on my family embracing me back, my mind would wonder to Anna. It was torture being away from her. I would constantly picture her alone, and then I would see myself holding her, protecting her danger.
"Hey Jake, you still there man?" Jared's voice brought me back. I looked up to him with a dazed look.
"Yeah, just thinking about –"
"Anna?" Embry, Quil, Paul, and Seth blurted out laughing. I rolled my eyes and walked over to Sam.
"Hey, I was wondering if you noticed Luke."
Sam's happy expression faded the instant Luke's name entered the sentence. The room filled with an unspoken tension. The whole pack's eyes lay on Sam.
He sighed. "That's why he's here. That's the whole reason why his family moved here."
I heard Emily gasp. I narrowed my eyes. "Really?" I heard her squeak. Sam nodded. "It had to be done, we can't have a rouge werewolf running loose. You all know that."
"But moving her here all the way from Chicago, couldn't we have talked to Luke about this?" Seth's courage was surprising, but seeing as he formed a bond with Anna and was Luke's close friend already pushed his ego.
"I couldn't risk it. My brother didn't want his son to be clueless to this, it was the best option."
"You made Anna loose everything because her brother is going to be one of us?!"
How could he do that to her? My Anna, yes my Anna. She probably misses her home like crazy.
Sam growled. "If I didn't would you have met your imprint?" I retracted. He did have a point.
Emily cut in placing a hand on his shoulder. "But Sam, that would mean she'll have to find out."
Sam nodded. "Yes, and find the legends to be true in a week or so."
A low growl emitted from my throat. "What about Luke? Would he even want to be apart of our pack?"
"He has no choice. His father already decided for him."
Embry narrowed his eyes. "Does his mom know?"
He nodded again. I scoffed. "You saw fit to tell Anna's whole family about her brother becoming a werewolf, but you neglected to tell her. Or even Luke for that matter?"
Sam looked at me sternly. "It was the only way. But I will tell them soon. Until then I appreciate it if you keep this to yourself."
"She's your niece Sam! Damn it Sam! You haven't even contacted her family until you found out about Luke. Am I right?"
Sam looked guilty, I found something to put against him and I was going to use it so help me god.
"Oh I see. You know when I met her she didn't even know who you were. She was left in the dark for fifteen years. NOW you plan to let her in your life, when it's convenient to you!"
Sam growled. "Watch yourself Jacob."
"No, obviously you didn't give a shit about her family or your own damn brother!"
"You have no idea what you're talking about."
I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. "Really? I don't?"
I felt Quil's hand on my shoulder. "Jake chill, I mean I know how you feel. Like you need to protect Anna. But we don't know the full story." I didn't budge. Embry sighed from the other side of the room and muttered. "Wasn't it Anna's dad who left the reservation anyways?"
My head snapped to him. "Don't you dare peg this on her. She's completely innocent."
Embry's hands went up in defense. "Dude, I was just saying that her dad moved."
Sam interjected. "Jacob, there is more to the story than you know."
"Then tell me, it concerns me just as much as it does my Anna."
I saw a faint smile form on Sam's lips. "You don't need to know that now Jacob, I will tell you tomorrow. I need to call my brother right now." He turned. Emily looked to me with a pained expression before following him out.
"Jake, we all know that you care a whole lot about this girl, but this issue doesn't seem to concern you." Embry spoke carefully.
I sighed. Maybe it didn't but I was going to find out somehow. "I need to take a run."
None of them objected. I walked out of the house. I removed my clothes and phased. I sniffed the air deeply hoping to catch a scent. Thankfully Anna's smell was still in the air. My tail wagged faster as I followed it down the road.
NANANA ! Hey there, it's getting closer to Christmas! (:
