Chapter 29
Jacob was crouched down and ready to attack. I followed his gaze and was greeted with these eyes…big green eyes.
Everything around me was out of focus it was all a blur, the only thing that was clear in the world were his eyes that stared back and me with a look that gave me the impression that he felt it too. I finally found my center my reason for being. Whatever wounds I had before all healed, it was as if they never existed. My heart started beating again – something I never thought was possible. There he was in Rosalie's arm. Everything played out in slow motion. I saw his every blink, the way his long eyelashes touched his lightly pink cheeks, how the light bounced off the emerald in his eyes.
I was overcome with warmth, this energy flowed through me and I felt as if I were glowing. Whatever bonds I had to the world before this, snapped. They no longer existed and for that one split second it was as if gravity didn't exist and I were floating. My point of gravity changed. The only thing holding me here was the little child in Rosalie's arm. I was now held down to earth by him.
He was the very center of my universe.
I heard a feral growl that broke my gaze, and I saw Jacob crouching ready to attack, his eyebrows were creased with a grin that look so devilish it sent a shiver down my spine, just as he launched himself all I could think was NO!
Without even thinking about it I jumped and caught him mid air before he had the chance to phase. I wrapped my arms around him and we landed on the coffee table crashing thought it and shattering it on impact. Broken shards of glass jammed in my skin but I didn't feel a thing. There I was on top of Jake with my legs on either side of his waist pinning him down.
"NO!" someone yelled.
I looked away to see who it was. Edward was standing there at the bottom covered in blood, grief stricken expression over his face. He looked like a man on a stake burning within. He stood there at the of the stairs frozen, taken aback by the scene he found in front of him, just as I looked back as Jacob I saw his hand swing in my direction. The contact with my face sent a booming sound through the house. He slapped me so hard my skin burned,
"Get off me right now!" a string of profanities left his mouth. His body thrashed and fought against my hold of him. He was trapped and escape was futile.
I grabbed his hands and pinned them down. "I can't let you do this Jake"
My heart was racing with a shot of adrenaline rushing through my veins, my whole body was pulsating as he struggled harder, but deep within I found the strength to fight him back. The stakes were far to high for me to lose. I had a reason to fight for and it kept me strong.
"I'm going to rip it to pieces. That monster killed Bella" he said through clenched teeth rage flowing from him in waves. Without the wolf mental link I didn't know exactly what happened, but I tried to string together the story of what unfolded tonight. Edward stood there covered in blood, an unknown being was on the couch surrounded by the smell of the Blonde vamp Rosalie and Jacob was hell bent on killing whatever was on the sofa.
"I won't let you" My voice broke, I couldn't believe that Bella was dead and didn't have the time to ask for specifics.
"Get off me right now I order you to get off me!" his voice rang of the Alpha tone, I could feel the strings as they tugged against my muscles willing me to get up, to follow orders, but they were nothing compared to the steel cord that connected me to my reason for living. I fought against Jake's order and won.
"I can't let you do that…he's my…my – I…it's him"
I couldn't find the simple words to make him stop, to make him see reason. Words escaped me on how to express what I was feeling, what he was to me. I looked over my shoulder to where he was. I gazed into his deep emerald green eyes and felt whole again, I was complete. After years of wandering lost in the darkness I had found my center and with that, I sighed from utter content and uttered the words,
"He's my imprint"
