Why, why now?

I really didn't want to leave her. I had a sneaky suspicion that Sam was being a bit of an asshole and trying to meddle in business that had nothing to do with him. I could feel Charlie's glare getting heavier as the moments passed. Bella had given him a 'what's the problem?' look only moments before Quil had plopped himself down beside us providing a welcome distraction, even if it was only because he was acting like an idiot. I didn't want Bells getting into anymore trouble than she was already.

Billy and Charlie had always been advocates for Bella and me getting together. Billy on one hand had inside information and could see how her personal safety would be enhanced and how the pack would benefit from any information she could give us. On the other hand Charlie could see Bella become more and more animated with every moment she spent in La Push.

I could tell by the way Charlie was now eyeballing us that he was having no problem visualising the potential pitfalls that could present themselves when a gigantic Quileute boy (no matter how much he knew and liked him) was trying to get his way with his very delicate and dainty daughter.

I reluctantly rose from my sitting position behind Bella and knelt down in front of her, cupped her chin in my hands and lost myself momentarily in her smooth chocolate coloured eyes.

"I love you" she nodded her head gently. I didn't need her to reply with any great displays of affection or anything, the fact she let me plant the sweetest kiss of all time on her lips in front of both our friends and family was enough for me. I was on cloud nine, now everyone knew how things stood and I couldn't stop myself from feeling ever so slightly smug.

I stalked over to the side of Sues little red house to where the rest of the guys had gathered.

"What's the beef? Whose going where and who are they going with?" I asked. Paul, Embry and Quil stood with their mouths gaping. "What?" I looked to each of them for an answer to my question.

"Fuck dude...you're a fucking badass" Embry started babbling. I had no idea what he was talking about. "I thought Charlie was gonna pull a fucking gun and shot you in the head when you kissed Bella like that."

"Like what?" I really wasn't in the mood for Embry's stupid assed messing about.

"Seriously?" Paul looked at me with one eyebrow cocked. "That was one fucking hot kiss my brother" he held his hand up for a high five.

"Shut up asshole" I was quite happy for them to know Bella and me were together but having them fantasise about our every kiss or touch was another thing altogether.

I glared at each of them as I walked past and headed for the tree line in Sue's back yard.

That was the thing about the reservation, everyone's house backed onto the forest, Ideal cover for shape shifting werewolves.

I continued into the woods a little further than I would normally. There were still lots of people mulling around the bonfire, I didn't want to risk any of the guests spotting us in wolf form. As I started to feel the moss soften underfoot I stripped and hung my clothes over a nearby branch then I phased.

In an instant I thought I was going to puke. I felt my lips curl back and I let a feral growl surge through my clenched teeth. The others were there in an instant, all of us growling belligerently at the stench that now filled our muzzles. One of those dirty leech fuckers have been here. I could feel the panic rise in Quil and Embry, they yelped and trotted nervously around me as the realisation of the proximity of the leech sunk in, they needed to keep their cool if they were going to be of any use tracking the bloodsucker.

We need to let Sam and the others know Paul raised his head to let rip with a howl.

No Paul, don't; there are too many people around, it would draw unwanted attention, besides we don't have time this stench is strong, the bloodsuckers only got a few minutes lead on us. If we go now we've got a good chance of catching it. We can't wait for the others. I didn't hang around for the others to respond, every second I wasted listening to them was a one second lead the leech had on us. The thing had come within two hundred feet of Bella and the tribe members for christ sake. Way too close for comfort.

Although it pained me to; I tasted the air to try and pick up the direction it had gone in. East towards Forks. I burst forward into a flat out sprint. The only sound in my head was the thundering of my paws as they crossed the forest floor. My hair was bristling with fire as I raced after the stench. I heaved bile into my throat and then swallowed hard. I didn't have time to stop and throw up; I could sense I was gaining ground. My heart thudded in my chest and my hackles drew themselves up into a brittle ridge across my shoulders and back.

Hold back Jake your too close to the Cullen's place you're going to break the treaty, it was Paul

Fucking screw the treaty, it's already broken, they knew that the moment they set foot on Quileute land. I paced forward. The trees were beginning to thin out in the distance. I could see the glow of lights. Of course this must be it. I thundered on, pushing myself as hard as I could until I could clearly make out the shape of the house.

I slowly wound my pace down to a trot, and watched intently for any sign of movement. Nothing.

The house was grand beyond words. It was hidden in the dense forest so as not to draw attention to it's over stated style on the Olympic peninsula. Great, not only do these fuckers need to be model like in looks they also have to have the pad to die for. No brainer why Bella was so drawn in here. In my heart I knew Bella would never be attracted to the material things in life, but damn it I was jealous.

Paul ran into me, drawing me out of my train of thought. Hey watch it idiot.

Jeez Jake I thought I was going to have to bring you down for a minute there. Paul liked to live in a fantasy land.

Yeah like you could. You couldn't even keep up with me never mind take me down. Lazy shit.

Whatever ass wipe. Paul could be a real prissy little bitch at times. We stood quietly and watched the house for a few moments. So what's the plan?

I don't have one, we need to see how many there are first. I could hear Quil and Embry approach us from the rear. They must have picked up our scent (though god knows how they did in this shitty smelling place) because they gradually slowed themselves to a stop and there was no way they could see us in the thick trees where Paul and I now found ourselves standing. I could here them panting as they came to stand beside us. We all watched in silence like we were waiting for some frigging epiphany to happen. Then it did.

The leech peered out of the glass doors overlooking the garden. It knew we were here. It searched the line of trees where we were and finally brought its eyes to rest on us.

"You can come out you know. I won't harm you, it's not in my nature" its voice pierced its way into my head like someone drawing their nails down a chalk board.

Shit, do you think it can see us? Embry was never the sharpest pin in the cushion.

Course it can dumbo, haven't they got some sort of supersonic eyesight or something? Quil's I.Q matched Embry's so closely I would swear they must be twins sometimes.

Sonic, idiot implies sound, not vision. Paul piped up, you can't hear with your eyes; ergo you can't have supersonic eyesight.

Okay... what? Paul's contribution had only served to confuse them further, not hard though given the circumstances.

Shut the fuck up guys. It's waiting for us to make our move. I was frustrated by their pissing about. We need to be careful in case there are more inside, I'll take the centre, Paul, you take the right flank Embry you take the left, Quil, you get in behind in case you fucking hurt yourself.

Paul and Embry chuckled to themselves at Quil's expense. Seriously, Quil, you get in behind and watch for anything coming at us from the rear.

We nodded to each other in agreement and then I stepped forward from the thicket of trees we had been standing in.

Shock swarmed over the bloodsuckers face as it took in the sight of us four giant wolves snarling and growling our way across the yard.

"Play nice doggies, because if you don't I won't either."It pulled its face up into a grimace and bared its glistening, primary weapons for us to see. "I can understand now why I've been finding things so difficult lately, can you change for me so we can discuss what has happened here."

I'll phase the rest of you stay as you are.

No fucking way Jake you'll be vulnerable in your human form. I could sense Pauls worry.

Exactly, that's why you are going to stay as you are. Without another word I phased into my human self.

"Why the hell were you on Quileute land? You know that you've broken the treaty now" a low growl escaped as I said it.

"I had to take that chance." The leeches over confidence made me want to throw up onto the immaculate lawn beneath my feet.

"Why, why now?"

"I had to see Bella, to make sure that she was okay." Its voice pierced into me again.

"You didn't care about her welbeing all those months ago when you walked away from her and left her as good as dead." My words hit like a slap in the face.

"I didn't realise she had got so bad, not until recently anyway, when she fell off the radar so to speak," It paused for a minute then continued "I see she's happy now, with you." It nodded it's head towards me.

"So... what? You're here to suck any remaining happiness right out of her, because that's what's going to happen when she finds out you're here." I was sure of that.

"I would never try to hurt her dog." Motherfucker.

"How did you even know where to find her?" I was starting to struggle to keep a grip on the rage that was now shaking me to the core.

"I bumped into some of her school friends in town, they told me that she was spending lots of time with you Jacob Black, down on the reservation." I let a snarl rip through my teeth.

"Well now you've got your answer leech, you can crawl right back under whatever stone you dragged your sorry ass out from." I turned to walk back towards the pack.

"It's not quite as easy as that. I need to speak to her," The bloodsucker was trying to push me over the edge I could tell.

"Never"

"Jacob...She's in danger" Nothing new there then.

"We know. We chased your red haired buddy off ot the Olympic park over a month ago now, so no need for you to hang around any longer."

"That's not what I'm talking about, I know about Victoria and I'm impressed by how you wolves handled her, but that's not the danger I am talking of, it's something else,"

So here was the real reason why the leech had returned to Forks.

Oh fucking excellent...
