Yay another update and its only been 2 weeks. WAHOO!
Thanks to everyone who reviewed my last chapter. I appreciate it more then you know. Its nice to know that people are still reading Shooting Star.
So some of this chapter will feel like déjà vu but I needed to put it in so readers could understand what I got for SM Twilight Saga. Everyone interprets things differently so I feel it was important for me to show you mine.
Please read and review.
Chapter 38
"That was a little more excitement then we usually experience at these meetings," Billy laughed breaking the tension. "Nessie do you think you can get Jacob to come and sit down so we can get down to business?"
I smiled at him, "Sure, no problem Billy." I took Jake's hand and led him to the log where Seth, Erin and I had been seated earlier.
I heard Erin whisper, "Come on Seth lets go sit with Ness and Jake." He didn't respond but I heard both their footfalls behind me.
Everyone settled as the crackling fire opened the stage for Billy to begin the legend of Taha Aki and the spirit warriors. As it came to an end Erin shifted in her seat but didn't speak. I could tell she was drawn into Billy's words and the antiquity of his voice.
Old Quil, Quil's grandfather, was the next to speak. He told of Taha Aki's third wife and how she sacrificed herself to save her husband, children and people from the 'cold ones'.
I saw Erin wipe a tear from her cheek as he spoke of the unnamed, mortal hero who was loved so strongly by her mate, who even after her death refused to leave her side.
I reached over and placed my hand over hers in comfort earning a small smile from her in return.
Sam straightened up squaring his shoulders facing the circle. He cleared his throat, "Two generations had passed and the wolf gene had been all but forgotten. The children learned the stories but they never held much weight for them as anything more than simply that...stories. No longer were the men of Quileute nation faced with the responsibility of keeping our people and lands free from 'the cold ones'."
"That was all to change when the golden eyed coven returned to Forks; prompting the change of one of our men just as it had in times past. There was concern as there always was when they were near but they stayed true to the treaty and remained off our land and never bit a human."
"When a young woman came to Forks, things in La Push began to change. For reasons unknown, another two young men joined the world of myth, carrying the task of keeping our families safe but when the human girl fell in love with one of the members of the coven, we did everything in our power to keep her away from him but when the youngest, Edward Cullen, returned her feelings she was lost to us."
Erin gasped in surprise at the mention of my fathers name.
"Out of nowhere, the young Edward along with his coven left the young woman behind and disappeared to parts unknown. She was lost and broken, her father would speak to the elders of her depression often but didn't know how to help the young woman. Then mysteriously she showed up at the home of a young Quileute boy. He brought her from out of the shadows into the light and showed her how to live again. Although she wasn't completely healed he helped her through her darkest days. He had brought her back to the sun." Sam turned and looked at me sympathetically as he did every time he reached this part in the tale.
"The young man fell in love with the girl and she too began to feel something for him. She was honest with him about her love for the other but he was willing to wait for her. When he too phased, the young Jacob Black was ordered to stop seeing the girl for her own safety by the alpha, Sam Uley. As we all know, new shape shifters can be dangerous even to their most loved ones until they learn to control the gift." He looked at Emily with an expression I couldn't place, it was a mixture of love, pain, sorrow and something else. "And he was to in no way tell her of the wolves or anything involving them. Sam did something he truly disliked doing to any of his brothers; he gave Jacob a direct order so he was unable to tell her even if he wanted to."
"Jacob managed to find a way around the order from his leader and the young girl, Bella Swan, soon joined in our world of myths and legends."
"There had been an unknown vampire running the boarder of La Push and we had all tried to catch her at one time or another, bring her to her end but none of us were able to catch her."
No one knew who or what this female was after. It was as if she was looking for something or someone. That's when Bella spoke to us of Edward and how it was she was what the vampire was looking for. She wanted revenge against the young Cullen for killing her lover the year before by protecting her. A mate for a mate."
A cold shiver ran down my spine and I couldn't help but press a little closer to Jake.
Sam chuckled lost in thought, "When one of the golden eyed Cullen's returned she was shocked to find Bella Swan alive. This girl could see into the future and had seen Bella jump from one of the cliffs at first beach but did not see her surface from the rolling waters below. It turns out her visions were blocked by the presence of the wolves."
"She convinced Bella to race to Italy with her to save Edward from the royal family of the vampire world where he had gone to ask them to end his," Sam paused, "life."
"None of us, in the tribe, know for sure what happened while they were in Volterra, but while she was gone we continued to chase the red haired vampire to no avail. After Bella returned, she had both golden eyed vampires with her and the rest of the coven were not far behind them. They now took it upon themselves to destroy the vicious red-eyed female."
"The Quileute Jacob couldn't let Bella go even after she forgave young Edward for leaving her. She carried on as if nothing had happened. No matter how hard he tried to dispel the memory of the young woman from his heart and mind, she had remained steadfast."
"Only wolves who had experienced the joy that is imprinting could come close to understanding what he was going through. Although there was no question that with Jacob this was not the case because the rest of the pack could see clearly in his mind that he wasn't. It was common human love."
I squeezed Jake's arm knowing he felt bad about me having to hear this part of his life and the fact it was my mother they were talking about.
"The strange unconventional coven with several very gifted members and a leader who seemed to be trusted by all, had apparently caused quite a stir within the vampire leaders of the old world. They were threatened by them and the fact they could be over thrown by these outrageous golden eyes even though they Cullen's had no desire for power."
"Therefore, when the cold one we'd been hunting along our borders started to create an army of newborn vampires to come to Forks to get her revenge by ending the life of Bella Swan, the royal vampires over looked it, allowing the risk of discovery in order to destroy their greatest threat. The Cullen's would all fight against the stronger and blood lusted newborns to save her."
"Jacob got word of the upcoming war with this army and brought the information to the rest of the pack and for the first time in our history; we trained and fought alongside the golden eyed cold ones."
"Several more of our people changed and they were only getting younger and to our surprise; the first female in all our histories phased. We fought over 20 newborns that day and managed to destroy all of them. To our surprise we worked unbelievably well with the Cullen's and managed to walk away with only one major injury. Jacob Black had been badly injured and yet he was still unable to let Bella go."
He sighed remembering that day several years ago.
"Bella came and declared her love to the broken boy before breaking his heart like the rest of his body. Though she loved Jacob and felt he belonged in her life; she was in love with the vampire."
This time Sam looked and Jake with a small apologetic smile.
"It's cool man," Jake smirked at him hugging my shoulders a little tighter. "It was well worth it."
"After Jacob fully recovered he received a wedding invitation to Bella's wedding. He was distraught and ran from his house, phased and didn't look back to the tribe or pack for months. He refused to talk to anyone when they were in wolf form at the same time as he was and tried to allow his animal instinct to take over and lose humanity in its entirety in order to save himself from the pain his heart was putting him through. However, he did return and for reasons unknown even to him at the time, he showed up at their reception."
I sighed, leaning into Jake.
"With Bella's choice made; we knew the breaching of the treaty would soon be at hand when Edward Cullen bit his human wife, turning his young bride into a vampire. When they returned from their honeymoon another wolf brought the clan news of Bella's illness. Assuming she wasn't truly sick, Jacob demanded that the pack attack the Cullen's for their breach of treaty. However, Sam, along with other pack members and tribe elders, didn't feel his actions were a violation. Bella Swan had knowingly and willingly joined the world of vampires. Jacob driven by anger shifted back into his human form, so no one would know his plans, and raced over to the their home to kill Edward and as many Cullen's as he could before they managed to kill him."
"This is where it really starts to get good," I whispered to Erin.
"No one expected what Jacob would find when he arrived to seek his revenge. Bella wasn't undead or even sick, she was pregnant. When he returned with the news the pack decided this thing was not a baby at all but an unknown monster and we had to end it's existence before it could bring death and destruction upon our people and the people of Forks. We decided to take out the infant and sacrifice one human in order to save hundreds of others."
Erin turned with a look of both shock and disgust as Sam's words began to sink in. "But you're talking about murdering a baby," she whispered almost inaudibly.
"Jacob wasn't willing to sit back and watch Bella be sacrificed so he challenged the alpha. He was not the only wolf who objected to the ambush on our one time allies. Sam with the timber of the alpha in his voice ordered both Seth and Jake to help finish off the Cullen clan, however, he didn't expect Jacob to take out Bella himself. Having the bloodline of the alphas' coursing through his veins, Jacob managed to not bow under the his leader's direct order. In refusing to accept the direct order; he indirectly and unintentionally stepped into his birth right and became an alpha."
Seth gave a knowing grin to Jake as I'm sure he was reliving the first few days as the first member of Jake's pack.
"Jacob ran to warn the Cullen's of the pack's plans to attack and soon discovered he was separate and apart from his brothers. The voices that usually invaded his thoughts were completely silent except for one. The young wolf, Seth Clearwater, had shifted his allegiance from the pack of Sam Uley to the one of Jacob Black. Not long after, he received his second pack member the only female wolf, Leah Clearwater. He tried several times to force the brother and sister back to original pack but both refused. With three wolves warning and helping to protect the coven the council decided it was best to wait and see what would happen. Sam agreed as Bella was already on her death bed and he believed that once she was dead, Jacob would lead the attack himself and they would be able to destroy the unknown evil."
Hearing my families most recent histories always sent a chill down my spine. Knowing how close it had come to both my mother and I not existing.
"Poor Jacob expected his unexplainable pull toward Bella to lessen as she grew in size carrying the spawn of his enemy but it actually seemed to be doing the total opposite. The larger she got the more he wanted to be with her, near her. When the time finally arrived for Bella to have the child, the thing tore at her from the inside thrashing her mother's body around until she was nearly dead. Jacob and Edward were both in the make shift delivery room when this little thing was born. Edward tried to pass it off to Jake so he could try to save his love's life but he refused to touch it. When the infant was passed off to another of the vampires; Jacob felt the pull he was accustom to feeling toward Bella…shift and lead him away from his dead friend and feeling it toward the infant that had just been taken from the room. Thinking it was calling him to seek vengeance for her death, he headed for the little murderer."
Grabbing Jake's hand to share with him my memories; I closed my eyes remembering the next part as Sam told his rendition.
"He silently headed down the stairs and readied himself to strike when the blond vampire lifted up the baby girl onto her shoulder and his eyes met hers…suddenly everything else melted away. It was no longer gravity that held Jacob to this planet but her, the tiny being that Jake had imprinted on, was the thing he had sworn to kill."
Jake kissed my forehead as I closed our connection. "It was always you," he whispered.
"I know," I smiled. "You've been My Jacob from the first time I saw you."
"His imprint was a strange and unexpected occurrence but respected by all wolves and the new little member of our pack was privileged to the same protection and safety as all the other imprints. So when her life and the," Sam paused for the briefest second, "lives of her family were threatened we rose with them to keep her safe. The fight that never happened is one for another time," Sam said with a wicked smile and a wink. "The old treaty was renewed with minor adjustments and Renesmee was free to come and go as she pleased from La Push. Everyday she reminds us that there is so much of this mythical world we still know nothing about and must remain open minded at the strange and new."
"Wow," Erin breathed. "The only thing in my family we have to pass on is a cracked gravy boat, a rubber stamp and an old patch work quilt that still smells like my grandfathers farts."
The wolves burst out laughing.
"Man, I keep forgetting how well you guys hear," Erin retorted.
The boys only laughed harder.
"What?"
As things settled down everyone headed for home. "you going back to Sue's or are you coming with us?" I asked Erin as we headed down the path away from the cliff.
"I'd rather stay at Billy's if that's alright with you," she answered. "I'd rather not run into Leah for a while."
"Nah it's cool with us," I assured her.
"I'm sure we could make up the sofa or something," Jake piped in. "I know dad has air mattresses somewhere so no worries."
"Thanks," she turned to him. "I appreciate it."
"Anything for Seth," he teased.
Laughing we made idle chit chat as we walked the rest of the way to Billy's house; when we got there was a short note from Billy,
Guys,
I'm gone to Sue and Charlie's for the night. Thought you could use the extra space. See you tomorrow and Jacob no funny business.
Dad
"So I guess you guys can have Dad's bed," Jake told them as we made our way into the house.
I went and got clean bedding and Erin and I made Billy's bed before we all headed to bed.
Jake closed the door behind us as we entered his old room before smirking at me suggestively.
"Oh no," I giggled. "Your father said no funny business."
"Then I guess it's a good thing my father isn't here," he growled as he stocked towards me.
"Jaaake," I squealed as I crawled up and over his bed.
"Come here," he grabbed for me just missing my ankle.
I squeaked before jumping over him. "you've got to be faster then that," I teased.
"Is that right?" This time Jake got me around the waist and slammed my body with his into the wall. "I thought you'd be more comfortable like this," He said removing my jeans before kissing me, he grabbed my ass picking me up so I could wrap my legs around his waist.
After breaking the kiss he rested his forehead on mine so we could catch our breath.
I arched my back dying for him to touch me, to relive those moments in the woods earlier that day. My heartbeat began to race erratically as he released me with one hand sliding it between my legs pushing the lace of my panties to the side. Sliding his fingers past my lips and easily plunging inside me. I moaned at the sensation he was causing me as his finger moved inside me before adding a second, "Oh god Jake…" I groaned loudly. I could feel my walls start to contract before my body made a slight shiver. Jake removed his hand licking my juices, "You taste so good," he sighed in a low raspy voice before placing me back on the floor. I pouted at the loss of contact.
"Don't worry baby there's not going to be any funny business going on in here to night," he whispered as he pulled my sweater over my head and removing my bra leaving me in nothing but my underwear.
I looked down at the way he was straining against his jeans. "You look a little uncomfortable," I purred as I undid the button on his pants, releasing his erection. I slid him into my mouth tasting all of him before sliding him back out again. "Oh fuck," he growled as I lightly dragged my teeth along his shaft. entwining his fingers in my hair he guided my up and down. "Oh fuck Ness." I moved my mouth and sucked and nibbled on his sack while pumping him with my hand. I licked the top of his head before sliding back down his cock. "God Ness I'm gonna cum," he hollered. "Don't stop." I picked up my pace as he pulsed inside my mouth. I licked and swallowed every drop of him.
Licking my lips I made my way to the bed shedding my panties as I went.
Jake quickly followed me leaving his clothes by the door, "where do you think you're going?"
"Over here," I lay across the bed opening my legs for him.
I watched as he got harder the closer he got to my center.
"Baby, I need to fuck you," he groaned before pushing his head into my warmth. "Your so wet."
He began to pump and brought my legs up and wrapped the around his waist meeting his thrusts half way. "Ooh…aww, Jake…harder," I moaned.
He complied and was soon pounding into me hitting my cervix. I screamed out as he hit what I'm assuming must be my G spot. Jake crushed his lips to mine, letting his tongue trace them sensually.
I rolled my hips against his again, and he cursed. He gripped my waist tightly and started pushing into me as hard as he could. My heels dug into his back, and he let out a gruff moan.
"Jake I'm so close," I whimpered. "Don't stop."
'Cum for me baby," Jake encouraged. "I want to feel you pulse around me."
With Jacob's words, I cried out as my walls clenched milking him.
"You feel so go," he breathed out after a few more thrusts, before exploding inside me.
I could feel his cum as it filled me and started to ooze along my ass and making a mess on the sheets.
He collapsed beside me and pulled me away from our combined juices on the bed and into him, kissing my shoulder then neck. "I love you, you know that?"
I shook my head yes, "I love you too my Jacob."
We lay like this for a long while as he drew lazy circles on my back causing my eyelids to droop before falling into a peaceful sleep.
