"Hello Bella, I am Jacob Black, nice to meet you" he said extending his hand for her to shake.
"Black?" she said ignoring his hand.
Bella is acting really weird...
"Yes, ma'am Black" he smiled
"Nice to meet you, Jacob" she said wearing an emotionless mask
Jake enveloped me in a bone crushing hug again, and I heard Bella growl. He let me go
"Ali-cat I can't believe you are actually here, you look good, you look great really"
I gave him a toothy smile
"You look good too, what's with all the muscles, last time I saw you we had the same body strength" I said
We walked towards the car chatting like two little girls...
Jake's POV
Bella Cullen! My inner wolf screamed for me to rip her head off! Of all the people Alice could've hung out with she chose Vampires! But I could not do that. One because I couldn't phase in front of people. Two because I had no guarantee I could win this fight, I am not arrogant enough to think that the wolf in me was invincible. Three because I saw the way Alice looked at her, I don't know what Alice knows and what she doesn't but tonight we'll talk about it...
Alice... Alice...Alice. Alice was here next to me chatting with me, In five minutes she said more to me than in years. Maybe getting out of that shit hole we were living in was the best thing we could've dreamed of. If they thought than anyone could heal in that place they were the crazy ones.
Alice kept throwing glances at Bella, who was curiously silent, not a doubt she figured out who I was, or more like what I was. But I couldn't care less, I know she would not tell anyone, and what could one vampire do against me. Maybe there is more than one vampire here?
"So Bella, How did you meet Alice?" I fish for as much information as I can.
"We're in the same high school" she answers briefly
"Ah, Alice you went back to high school, that takes some determination' I laughed
"Yes, are you going to go back to school too?" she asked.
"Yes, I guess I am, but I am going to wait a little though" I said
Bella was driving us towards Alice's house, so I could finally talk to her privately...
Bella's POV
A shape shifter! A ****** shape shifter! I have already huge issues with anyone getting close to Alice, but a shape shifter that was too much. I don't even know how I'll handle all this. Alice was right the guy has a wolf in him! Not only did he have a wolf in him he also turns in one. And he was going to spend the night with my mate, at her house, where I wasn't there to protect her, to check that he's not even thinking about laying a finger on her skin. If he thinks he can have her he is wrong definitely wrong!
I drove, and Alice house was getting closer and closer... Soon I'll have to leave her with him. I could take another useless turn and make the road longer but I'll still have to face it I'll have to ….
I parked the car in front of Alice's house.
"Here we are" I said
"Cool, your house looks like an old movie Ali-cat" he said
Stop calling her Ali-cat ! Stop making her blush!
"Bella you want to come in?" she asked unsure
"No, it's okay, I'd like to speak with you Alice" I said "privately" I add
"That's my cue to go, I'll wait for you inside Al" he smiled
I watch him get inside the house.
"Alice I want to ask you can't Jake sleep in a hotel room. I'll pay for it maybe he'll be more comfortable there"
"You think he'll be uncomfortable with me?" she said unsure
"No, I just think it would be better"
"But, he wants to sleep here, and honestly I want him here to" she said with a small voice
"Why?!" I asked my voice raising a bit
"I don't know, I just do" she said her voice shaking.
My jealousy was driving me crazy. Why can't she just tell him to leave? A shape shifter.
"Alice he is not what he seems to be" I said
"What do you mean?"
"He's not human" I said
"She knows that" he answered getting out of the house.
"I didn't talk to you mutt" I snapped
"Bella!" Alice hissed.
It was the first time she hissed at me directly! It was because of him! He is ruining everything.
"Alice know I am a wolf" he said again
"You do?" I asked
"Yes, I told you, I believed him when he said he could turn into a wolf" she said not meeting my gaze.
"And I assume she knows you're a leech" he said
"Jake!" Alice hissed again.
"Look mutt this has nothing to do with you, so if you know what is right for you, you'll leave now"
I don't know what's happening to me, my mouth has a will of her own. At this exact moment I don't really care about anything else than getting as far away as I could from my mate.
"It has everything to do with me" he smiled.
The irony was that my blood was boiling but he seemed to be quite calm.
"You think I am going to let a guy who just got out of an asylum here" I said before thinking
Alice face clenched with pain.
"Jake please go back inside" she said slowly "Bella I think you should go home" she said
"Al-"
"No, Bella just go home"
"I didn't-"
"Go" she said turning to get inside her house.
STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!
Bella you are stupid, she'll never forgive me! I didn't mean it like that Alice I am so sorry!
"Please forgive me" I whispered in front of a closed door.
Jake POV:
Alice got inside the house,her beautiful smile replaced by a frown, and for a second it felt like we were back in that place again. For a second all I want to do is go back out there and kill the leech for that frown...
Alice and I never needed words. I wrap my arms around her frail body. I plant a kiss on her forehead. I've grown a lot since the last time I saw her, and if before she seemed small next to me, now I feel like she could disappear into my arms, and I surprised myself loving the feeling.
"Tell me everything" she whispered against my chest.
I nodded.
"When you left, things got a bit harder for me, because apart from you I didn't have anything"
"I am sorry" she said
That's my Alice always thinking about everyone else.
"It's okay, after that, I felt like the wolf was getting stronger and stronger, and I knew I couldn't handle the wolf in me anymore when a new psychiatrist was assigned to me"
"So you ran?"
"Alice you know what Bella is, right?"
When I saw the flash of pain cross her eyes I regretted bringing her name.
"A Vampire"
"Exactly, Alice wolves and vampires they can't stand each other. I didn't know why, or how but my wolf was going crazy when I was with this new doctor, but when I saw him trying to feed on a patient I understood what he was, I lost control I transformed"
"You killed him?" she asked
"No, I am a young wolf, he won without much trouble, and I ran before he could end me" I said
She nodded.
We sat there for a few minutes, I gave her some time to think, and handle everything. Bella's words and mine, even though I felt mine weren't the hardest to get settled.
"Your turn" I said after a while
She looked at me questioningly.
"You hanging out with vampires, you leaving the asylum" I smiled
"Oh" she said
"I missed you do much" I laughed taking her in my arms again.
Bella's POV:
I was driving back home chocking dry sobs, how could I? How could I!
