Chapter Twelve

(Jacob's POV)

Chief

Bella and I made our way in to my house to get me a shirt and hopefully I had one that would fit, while Sam and Embry continued around back to join everyone else. I pulled Bella into my room I just could not even comprehend spending a moment without having her at least within touching distance.

When I looked in the mirror I could really see the difference in my body between now and this morning.

"Bella there's no way that your father is not going to know there is something up; I have grown at least four inches since he saw me an hour ago." I moan.

"Like Sam says, Dad only gets curious when he needs to, he may just ignore it. He will be having a few beers with his friends, he will hopefully ignore us, but when we go out there maybe take a seat and don't move, I will get your food for you." Bella states firmly.

"I'm so hungry please get me loads I actually feel like I am starving and my stomach is trying to eat itself." I whine.

"Oh poor baby." She came over and wrapped her arms around my waist and tilted her head up to me, looking up at me she whispered. "I love you."

I looked down at her. "I love you too, and I am completely blown away by how accepting you have been with the news that I turn into a dog." I said while wrapping my arms around her and looking into her deep chocolate orbs.

"You're not a dog you're a wolf, and you are a beautiful one at that, you have the most amazing red fur and you keep your beautiful black eyes that are the windows to your soul." She said nuzzling my neck.

She reached up with both of her hands and placing a hand on either cheek and pulled me down to her eye level. She softly traced her lips over mine.

"You are the most important person in my life. I love you more than anything else in the whole world." She kissed me again softly, then she nibbled on my lower lip, she then moved her face and kissed me gently on one corner of my mouth then moved over to the next corner. "I don't care that you morph into a puppy, you are mine and I love you heart and soul."

"Honey, I want to kiss you until you loose all control but something is telling me that if we start this now even my Dad walking into the room would not stop us." She murmurs against my lips.

She was right, the intense burning need I had for her was definitely stronger than ever before, it was all most animalistic. I wanted to touch her, taste her, and consume her. She was all I could think about all I could feel. We needed to get out of this room right now or just lock the door.

"Having you in my arms is pure molten heaven, but you are right, they would need a hose to separate us if we keep this up." I say while putting open mouth kisses down her neck. I can feel her fingers tighten around my biceps, she is panting for breath which is making her chest rise up and down directly at my eye level. I break away with the last piece of control I have to discover that we are on my bed with Bella beneath me.

"Bella please, you have to help me stop doing that, I've no control when I'm around you." I stutter. "When did we lay on the bed? This is crazy."

"I know, I don't even realise we're doing it until we stop." She giggles.

"Jake it's not like we're doing anything wrong, we're in love and we are physically attracted to each other, which is normal, we just need to be more aware of our surroundings." She laughs.

"Yeah, let's get a bell to put around your Dad's neck and then my ass will be safe from his shotgun." I laugh.

"Tell me before we go out there, what do you make of the wolf thing?" I ask her sitting up and placing her on my lap scared of the answer.

"Jake this probably sounds strange to you but do you remember the conversation we started back the day we visited the waterfall before we were interrupted by the sound of wolves, Oh… that makes sense now." She said with a scrunched up face. She shook her head and continued, "Anyway like I said that day, something did not feel right with us, and before you freak on me, I don't mean in a bad way just listen to me."

I nodded my head as I could not speak, my heart felt like it was about to explode it was beating so fast, my mouth had gone so dry I think my tongue was stuck to the roof of my mouth. She was still in my arms so I just tightened my hold on her because no matter what she said to me I was not letting her out of this room until she agreed her future was with me. I was shaking this was not from the wolf, he was curled up in a ball whimpering at the thought of losing her.

"The connection we have is so strong even though we're together for only a short time, I feel pain when I am not with you, and I think you feel the same way. The way we feel about each other isn't normal, no that's the wrong word, our feelings for each other are so different to other couples I've always felt there was more to it than just first love." She took a deep breath.

"But with all these feelings between us I still felt like something was missing, God I wish I could explain this properly." She said nuzzling her head into my neck sniffing me. I have noticed she does this when she is stressed; it is like my scent calms her, like her scent calms me. "I felt like there was something missing, I felt like there was a part of you hidden from me so I could not love all of you freely. Today when you morphed into your wolf I felt my whole body and mind relax, I realised then that I had been missing your wolf and looking for it even though I didn't know you were one. Does that even make sense?" She asked looking confused.

"So you're telling me that you're happier now and more at peace because I've become a wolf and that you still love me and want to be with me?" I ask trying to ensure that I have understood correctly.

"Yes." She answered quietly then she looked up into my eyes and said. "I think I love your wolf as much as I love you."

"Oh holy cow I want to kiss you so badly, I can't believe you have accepted all of this or me. I can tell you right now that my wolf is doing a happy dance in my head." He really was, he was practically purring. "I love you so much baby, I can't even describe how I feel." I stutter, I wanted to crash my lips down on hers and kiss her until she didn't know her own name but I knew I wouldn't be able to stop and there was a full garden of supernatural people outside who could hear our every sound, I would not embarrass her that way, but she was so hard to resist.

She was smiling up at me. "So you don't think I'm a weirdo that I love your wolf?" she questioned cautiously.

I laughed, "Only as weird as my wolf being in love with you."

She laughed "Well at least we can be weird together. I was going to ask you though, are you okay with being a wolf it affects you more than me?" She questioned.

"To be honest I really don't know, like you said I just realised that I felt like I was missing part of myself. In some ways I'm terrified, I feel like there is part of me that is really angry and mad and destructive and doesn't care about rules or anything or anyone else but itself. At the moment all it sees is you and it is consumed by you. I have always had a very strong connection to you and wanted you in everyway but the way my wolf feels about you is one hundred times stronger, I actually think he is laughing at my paltry human boy feelings." I said sheepishly.

"Are you like talking to each other." she questioned

"No it's not like that, he is me, its just a different side of me, in some ways a darker side of myself, but you don't have to worry he will never hurt you, he is feeling so protective of you that I am a little afraid what he'll do to any man that goes near you. I didn't think I was possessive but my wolf is straining to get out if anyone so much as looks at you." I mumble.

"Okay well most of the men out there are wolves so they will know better, and then there is Quil, old Quil, Harry, your Dad, my Dad and Seth." She listed. "What are your feelings for them and each of the wolves?"

"Dad I think is fine, it must be a blood relative thing, but the wolf feels threatened by Charlie maybe it's because he can take you away. He feels threatened by Harry but can cope with his presence, Old Quil is fine he does not feel any threat, Jared is a threat but I think he can cope. Paul is fine actually the wolf feels content if he is protecting you, which is bloody strange as a human I hate him near you. Embry is more than fine the wolf feels completely relaxed with his presence, he does not sense a threat from Quil, Seth I think is the biggest issue, the wolf is about to explode at the thought of Seth even speaking to you." I said in wonderment.

"Okay well now we know, we need to keep away from Seth and maybe I sit between you and Paul with Embry close by so you don't freak." She said with conviction. "What about the girls?"

I think about it "Oh that's strange!" I mutter, why does he feel like that?

"What is it? Bella questioned.

"I don't know what it is about but I can feel jealously oozing off him when I think of Leah." I say with a small voice.

"He doesn't feel threatened but he is jealous of your friendship." I mumble. Shit the human part of me feels the same way, this is stupid.

"What do you think that means?" she questions.

Damn, I can't lie to her. "I think he loved being your best friend, your only true friend and now we are not your best friend anymore because Leah is and she is a better friend than we were and you've more in common and I think he is scared that you and Leah will forget to include him in things because he's not needed anymore." I am speaking so quietly by the end that I do not know if she can hear me or not. I am too embarrassed to make eye contact with her. I am looking at my feet as if they are fascinating.

"Jake." She whispers. "Jake." She says a little louder. "JAKE!" she practically yells. "Look at me."

I just shake my head, I was just too embarrassed to even look at her, and even the wolf in my head crawled away the pathetic little shit, leaving me to face the mortification of being jealous of your girlfriends' female friend. Oh why am I such a baby? Mom what do I do? I really wish you were here; maybe you could have saved me from dying over jealousy.

"Jake please look at me." She put her small hand under my chin tilted my head up and looked down into my eyes. "You are my best friend, you always have been and you always will be. I love you so much, as a friend, as a boyfriend and as my future."

"Leah is also a friend just like Quil and Embry are yours. I don't feel jealous of them or the time they spend with you. You have some interests that they like to share, while Leah has interests that I share. She is not replacing you and she never could, just like Quil and Em could not replace me in your life." She said firmly.

"I know Bells and I really don't know why I feel this way, in so many ways I love that you have Leah, it means that you have fitted back in to La Push as if you were never away, it means that the important people are accepting of our relationship, it means that I don't have to worry you will be alone when I can't be with you. But it also means that I'm not the only important person in your life. But neither this wolf nor I wish for you to be alone or without friends ever. So let's just accept that I am a complete girls blouse and hope that I learn to grow up and we will work in training the wolf to learn how to share and play nice." I said matter of fact.

"Okay! But as long as you only play with me." She waggled her eyebrows at me, which on Bella is the funniest thing I have ever seen.

"Now is there any thing else we need to talk about before we go out to the hounds?" Bella asked.

"No I think we better get out there before they come in here and drag us out." I laugh. "By the way my hearing is now phenomenal I can hear Charlie and Billy gossiping about what we are doing in here, and I can also hear Sam tell Paul and Embry to stick to you and Leah and everyone else are going to work at keeping Seth away from you. Paul wants to get Charlie drunk so he passes out so won't be in the picture." I said shaking my head.

"Okay Babe, it's time we went out to play." Bella smirked.

She took my hand and we made our way down the hall through the kitchen and out into the back yard. When we walked out the back yard everyone looked at us Paul came up with a smirk on his face and shook my hand, he then bent down and gave Bella a big hug. We walked over to the bonfire and sat down with Paul sitting the opposite side of Bella.

Embry came over with two plates of food, one small obviously for Bella and one huge plate which was definitely more my size. I think I swallowed the plateful in one go without even chewing. Bella handed me the leftovers on her plate and I ate all that as well. I was contemplating getting up and getting myself some more when Leah appeared with a plate full of food for me. I demolished that plate as well. I think I am going to be seriously obese if I keep eating like this.

Leah giggled. "It's alright it's normal, Sam has to be restrained when eating out with non pack but he can put away up to 20 burgers at one time. He says he never feels full anymore, no matter how much he eats. Wolves run hotter than us so your metabolism is a lot faster so you burn your calories and digest your food much quicker."

I nodded my head that actually made sense. "Thanks Leah, this is all a bit confusing for me, its like everything I knew was wrong, but in a weird way I feel like this is right, this is what I am and until today I was missing something."

"Well let's not worry about that now, lets celebrate the success of BlackWater Designs and we can discuss everything else later." She said with a gentle smile.

"Jacob I also want you to know that I love Bella like a sister, but I also love you like a Brother, I have no intention of doing anything that will jeopardise what the two of you have and the only extra I add to the pot is girly time of which she spends talking about you and the wonders of Jake, you are her everything, do not doubt that." She said firmly.

I nodded at Leah, "Leah I know that, I really do and I love that you both are friends it's just this jealous part of me that I really don't like or understand. Please don't let it get between you and Bella; I will do my best to get over myself." I smiled at her. "I'm also not happy that you were told what was being said between Bella and I during a private moment." I looked at Sam. He just looked at me and shrugged with a face splitting grin.

I looked over at my Dad and he was looking at me with a twinkle in his eye. He nodded at me and I guess by that I could take that he was proud of me.

Everyone seemed to be having a good time, looking at Charlie, Quil and Seth they seemed oblivious to the added excitement of the night. Once the eating stopped and the CDs started playing Sue stood up and asked Seth to bring her home as she was getting a migraine. There was plenty of "Ahhh Mom I want to stay." But Sue was firm and reminded him that he had to be up early in the morning as she would not be able to run the carnival stall if this migraine developed. Poor kid being dragged away like that, but in some ways I hoped he never had to know the real reason.

A little while later Quil received a call from his Mom, she needed him to bring her to visit his Aunt in the Makah Reservation as she was a little poorly. Quil was surprised that she wanted to go now but he dutifully got up and said his farewells and left. I have a feeling that this was arranged by Old Quil to get him out of the way. This just left Charlie and when I looked over at him I could see that he had been appraising me. I went a little red when I realised that I had put Bella on my lap without thinking again. I gave him a slight smile and he looked at me carefully then nodded his head.

Charlie, Harry and Billy were talking about an upcoming fishing trip and Billy then suggested that he might make an early night of it so he could get up early in the morning. When he said this Charlie just looked at him thoughtfully and then nodded and stood up.

He looked down at Billy and said. "Well I will take that as my cue to leave, however I have something I want to say to you all."

He looked around the bonfire and caught everyone's eyes and then rested on mine. "I firmly believe in a "need to know situation" I have never felt the secrets of this tribe were my business or of any concern to the local law enforcement agency. However, that has now changed. Bella is my daughter and my concern especially as she is still under 18. I believe by the looks of things that Jacob has finally joined the pack and that is why you're all grouped around him like he is going to burst and why he is looking at me as if I am a threat."

There were gasps from everyone when he mentioned me and the pack.

Charlie continued. "Billy, I trust your son, and if he cares for Bella even half as much as you cared for Sarah then she will have a very happy life. I'm saying this because he looks at Bella as you once looked at Sarah."

"I do Charlie, I love her with every fibre of my being, and she is my life." I whispered.

"That is good to know, well I guess she's not going to be making it home anytime soon, if I remember correctly after Billy met Sarah he slept under her window for three weeks. He laughed at Billy's face. "Old man there is very little that gets passed me, I pretend to be a dope but you really think I got to be Chief of Police by believing far flung stories about council business."

"Charlie." Sam called. "I just want to thank you; if you hadn't found me in the forest that day I think I would have gone insane."

Everyone looked at Sam with a curious expression. Sam bowed his head and answered the unasked question. "When I wolfed out I didn't know what was going on just like the rest of you, I ran into the forest as you know and was in there for about three weeks running around getting madder and madder. Then one day I was beating the hell out of a tree when I heard a gun cock, when I turned around I saw Charlie with his rifle poised. He looked me in the eye and said "Sam if that's you, get your butt back to the rez and go find Billy Black or Harry Clearwater they can both sort you out. You are not insane just remember your legends. I am not 100% sure if it is you or not so I am just going to keep the gun between you and me, don't be offended, oh and don't let anyone know that I know about this wolf business it's meant to be a big secret." I wasn't offended and I kept my word until now."

Charlie chuckled at everyone's dumbfounded expression. "I'll be back tomorrow and we can talk more then Jacob. Bella remember you have school in around four weeks and you will be living in Forks while you are at school we can probably make alternative arrangement for holidays and weekends. But remember kids I understand you need to be close to one another BUT I am not giving license for any funny business, so you both better behave." Then he just left laughing at all our shocked faces.
