What a Tangled Web we Weave

Chapter 8

A/N: OK so I guess you figured out that Renesme is not Jacob's mate. Sam is. But there will be a twist that you will never guess later on that could complicate relationships.

It all happened in slow motion. Harry grabbed a hold of Dean, yanking him away from trying to kill Jacob. In big brother mode, Dean kept trying to get out of his husbands grip but Harry was adamant that his old best friend did not die. Sam would have helped Harry if it weren't that he was in complete shock. It was not every day someone just up and tells you that you are his mate. Sam was not straight; he knew for a while that he was Bisexual and have experimented with men, but he always thought he would end up with a girl…oh well. This Jacob was hot and tall…taller than him even. And he had muscles; lots of muscles.

While Sam's eyes glazed over as he stared at the wolf, Harry was trying to calm his very pissed off husband. Jacob, though he noticed that the older brother of his mate wanted to kill him, could not keep his eyes of this 'Sam'. He was gorgeous, more than anyone he had ever seen. He thought once upon a time, that Bella could be his mate, and even though he had not imprinted, it seemed right. Now he could not understand what was going through his head, because Bella was an insect… a spec of dirt compared this god before him. He was an Adonis.

Dean got even angrier, if that was possible, when he saw his brother and that…thing drool over one another. Harry, finally having enough, turned Dean around and then slapped him hard. The shock stopped Dean in his tracts, his eyes now focused on his little love.

"Dean, I love you, but I refuse to let you kill Jacob. I know you are the most over protective big brother in the whole world, but I need you to take a deep breath and calm the fuck down." Around them, not that they were paying attention, the other shifters were clutched over laughing at the scene before them.

"Alright, I will calm down, but I will have you know, that the wolf and I are going to have a long chat about going anywhere near my baby brother!" Dean made clear.

"OK, I know where there is a place we can talk in private yet still be able to be heard if you try to kill me." Jacob jokingly said. Dean did not laugh, just glared at him. Slowly the nervous laughter Jacob started died down as he realized that maybe Dean would try to kill him. He shuddered.

"It will be OK, Jake; I will make sure he does not hurt you, right hunny?" Harry said sweetly as he glared holes into Dean's. Dean shuddered, no one could ever scare him like Harry could; not even their Dad could do that.

'"Right; wont hurt the wolf." Dean muttered absently, he then bent down to give raven haired man a kiss before he followed Jacob out to the La Push beach.

Sam stood in shock, not knowing what really just happened. Harry patted him on the back, reassuring him.

With Jacob and Dean, the walk to the beach was tense. Even though Dean made a promise to not kill the shifter to his husband, he kept the glare and a hand on his gun. Jacob would shift nervously once in a while and tried not to look at the hunter in the eye. This made Dean smirk; I still got it he thought.

When they were out of earshot from everyone, they stopped and faced each other.

"So, you are claiming that my Sammy is your mate?" accused the elder of the two.

"Yes, I have imprinted on him," Jacob said, eyes flashing dangerously when Dean stressed the word "my".

"I don't know what 'Imprint' means, but you do not do that again!" said Dean. Jake snorted at Dean's lack of knowledge.

"I can't imprint again, just so you know. This is a one time deal. Sam is my one and only. No one else will be enough."

"What if Sam doesn't want to be your mate? Hell, I don't think he has ever shown any interest in guys before!" Dean all but shouted.

"It does not matter, I will be whatever he wants me to be; I will be his best friend, his lover, his punching bag. All I need is to be with him." Jacob said desperately. He did not want his mate's brother taking away the most precious thing in the world to him just after finding him. Dean stared long and hard at Jacob, assessing him…taking in what Jacob claimed.

"Say, I let you be with Sam that means your going to be coming with us. We move around…a lot! We stay in motels, sometimes the crappiest. We spend most days in the Impala, and we hunt the rest of time. We deal with the most dangerous things, and we don't need someone messing us up!" Dean laid it all out.

"I don't care; I will deal with all of that! And I won't get in the way, in fact I could be an asset. I am a huge wolf, I can heal incredible fast and I can take care of Sam and Harry when you can't. Please. I don't know how to explain it to you. I just need to be with Sam, no matter the role he wishes for me to fill."

Dean then came to the conclusion that maybe having Jacob with them was not such a bad thing. As the wolf said, he could be an asset and with some training and knowledge, could go far. Also, he could protect his family if anything were to happen to him.

"OK, you may come with us, and that is only under a few conditions. Sam and Harry have to agree to you tagging along; you may not molest my little brother in front of me, and lastly you will respect him and his decisions. He doesn't want to be with you? Well than you are to back off, or I will make you. You got this?" Dean threatened as he made his rules clear.

"Crystal," Jacob said with a huge dopey smile on his face. Dean shook his head, turned around to walk back to his husband; he kept muttering about how he was surrounded by tall freaks now.

When they got back Harry was there talking with some of the pack members and Sam stood there feeling awkward.

"The wolf wants to come with, baby, I told him it was OK on my end but that you two needed to agree." Dean said as he wrapped his arms around Harry's small waist.

"It is fine with me, but really Jacob, I don't think this is the life for you." Harry said, Jacob may have agreed but Harry didn't think that his friend knew what hunting entailed.

"No, my life is where ever your brother is," Jacob said as he stared into those hazel eyes.
