Chapter 7-Jacob's POV: Catching the Scent

Hey folks! Jacob once again finds out some disturbing connections between covens and wolves.

Please, don't be afraid to review, it could help me a lot.

Thanks so much!

I've crossed over highways and byways, trying to sniff out that funky scent the rabid wolf left behind at the mall.

There were traces.

And so I followed it, all the while Bella's body in my head. What in the hell am I doing? What am I thinking? She is married and I am tied to Nessie. Apparently, this soul stuff may not work as good I thought it should.

"Jacob!"

I turned around.

Chelsea.

She walked over to a nearby tree. She must know my look in wolf form and scent now too. She spotted me well. Could she have been behind the wolf attack? I had to ask; so I once again had to duck behind a tree to morph and pull on a simple pant suit.

When I walked back out, she was casually leaning against a tree, tossing a fruit up in the air. They don't eat but I guessed she was doing it for dramatics.

"How are you and Bella getting along?"

"What do you know about the wolf at Hillside mall?" I countered. She put a nail to her chin, pretending to think.

"I truly don't know what you are talking about, wolf. But I do smell an odd scent around here. It's certainly not you. This is a bit more -tamed." She smiled, teeth gleaming. Then dropping the apricot she folded her arms across her small chest.

"He killed a little girl when Bella and I-"Damn, I'm spilling everything.

"Oh my! Well, I knew you two would be together, its hard working on the both of you at once, but it'll happen." Then her face sobered, "Killed a little girl?"

"Tore out her throat in one bite."



Chelsea took a wise cross step, so she was now on my left side.

"That is- interesting. Wow."

Back to my Bella situation, I'll deal with the wolf on my own time.

"Why can't you have me fall completely in love with Bella, because honestly I think its lust or something, I have to mate."

"Understandably so." Chelsea whispered. "If you were of my caliber I would take you up on that offer, but I don't think you could satisfy me."

I choked. Was she for real?

"Did you see my package? I can please any woman, vampire, or other beast. "

"I couldn't see much as you were on all fours…anyhow I will be around. Is there anything you need for me to do?"

"What, you're my lackey now?"

"Hardly," she threw at me. Her eyes narrowed. "You do want to find out about that wolf, right?"

"Yeah, I guess. It could help."

"Well, I suggest you wait out here a bit while I scope things out. If it is as rogue and brutish as you say, I must warn the coven."

I told her fine and she dashed off, her long blue gown in the cold, chilling wind. I have to find that wolf.

After waiting for almost two hours, I caught a strong scent while I slept in my wolf state. I was stretched out in the woods area behind the mall. It was a harsh smell, not tame as Chelsea put it, but wild and pungent. I perked up and listened real intently. He won't be getting away from me now.

Wait a minute. There was another scent. So familiar…

I sat up and immediately broke into a trot. The night sky has become inky dark, and the moon was nowhere to be found, but I had good vision, and scent. I ran around until the smell got stronger and stronger.

Two smells.

One was the wolf.

The other, a vampire.

Could it be one of the covens I knew of?



Did Chelsea get here already?

I didn't want to get too close, but my hackles were now raised. Killing children without a beat and then coming back? What was here that was so important?

Coming around a clearing, I saw a small shack, it wasn't much there was light on inside and I saw two shadows. One of them was definitely a woman, the curves were there and the other was a very wide, very tall male.

Hopefully, they would not sniff me out before I could see them, but no need to. As I got closer, I kept my distance, listening to their conversation.

Boy, what an eavesdropper I am these days.

I did what you asked of me Tanya, so now can I sleep with you?

No way! You have to do more than that! Killing an innocent was just the tip of the iceberg. Once Edward learns that his precious wolf pack is not all innocent he will have them disband from the grounds and then he will discover his precious Bella has been sleeping with the enemy.

That's a little out there don't you think? Edward probably doesn't suspect anything. How would that make him leave Bella? If he is so attached to her as you think, why would he leave her?

Clavious! You stupid oaf! Because he loves me! He told me when he visited my family almost a couple years back. In fact, he has loved me forever, I know this.

I can hear Tanya's fake sobbing. If she could cry, her crying would be worthless since they'd spill from a bitch's sockets.

I think we should proceed to plan B, Tanya. And I mean it. This time, you are giving up that sweet booty of yours or I will take it myself and do all kinds of things with it. Detached from you body of course.

He laughed while Tanya remained back as a shadow within the walls. The shack's door was falling from the hinge, and when the Oaf came out, he tore it off just by opening it. His eyes glowed yellow, even without him shifting, and his body stood an impressive seven feet, or eight feet? Tall. I backed away, only to remove my scent before he caught it.

"Who's there?"

He caught it.
