Chapter 13

Seth was proud that he had managed to clock Jake in the jaw. He had wanted to do that pretty much all day; Jake was being a jerk to Bella. Seth loved Bella like a sister, and he hated seeing her crying.

He decided that he really should do a perimeter check, as he had told Jake. So he phased and took off around the cabin. There were no traces of vampires or humans for miles.

He was grateful for the soup Bella had prepared for him, but it really wasn't enough to stave away the hunger in his stomach. They hadn't eaten since breakfast, and they had been running most of the day.

Spying a deer through the forest trees, he took it down quickly, letting his wolf instincts take over. Raw meat was not his favorite meal, but his wolf liked it, and at the end of the day, it filled his stomach.

After finding a stream to clean off in, he wandered back to the cabin and phased. He walked up the porch hoping that he wasn't going to find Bella in tears again. He went to open the front door when he heard the shower running. He paused and listened again. "Oh, Jake!" he heard Bella moan.

Oh, shit, they were in the shower together. He guessed they had made up and would need some time to themselves. He was not a pervert, and he didn't want to listen in.

He took off into the forest, giving the cabin a wide berth before phasing once again. It was peaceful and quiet in his head with no one else around.

He decided to travel along the track from the cabin to see how far it was from the main road, about two miles. That should give them enough warning if anyone was to arrive at the cabin by car. Seth ran alongside the road until he got to the nearest town, five miles away.

It was nighttime, so most of the shops were shut. Only two were still open, a restaurant and a diner. If only he had a shirt and shoes, oh, and some money he could really do with some dessert right about now. The smell of apple pie was making his mouth water.

He made his way slowly back toward the cabin. He had no idea how much time they would need…

Between the town and their cabin, he spied another, a slightly larger cabin in the woods. The lights were turned on, shining through the woods. He crept up closer to have a quick look.

The TV was on the inside, and he could a news report.

"This morning, there was a vicious bear attack that happened on police watch. Apparently, two suspects were being arrested for stealing a $600,000 car before being attacked by a bear.

The officer was left mostly unharmed, suffering only a mild concussion; however, the suspects were taken by the animal.

A gruesome scene was left on the road and a trail of blood leading into the forest.

Police helicopters were called in, but neither the bear nor the suspects were found.

A sketch has been made of the two suspects, now presumed dead."

Seth peered through the window and spotted their faces on the TV screen. There was a police sketch of both Bella and Seth. Not terribly accurate, but if they were seen together, they would be identified.

It looked like they would have to make a quick getaway tomorrow, out of Canada, and hopefully, no one would trace them back to home.

The news report changed, and Seth moved away from the cabin. He slowly made his way back and lay down in the forest just out of hearing range of the cabin. He curled up in a ball and closed his eyes. It didn't take him long to fall asleep.

XXXX

The smell of rotten candy invaded his sensitive nose as he woke with a gasp.

There standing in front of him, was a vampire. Edward.

Seth immediately stood up in a defensive stance. The sun was just starting to peek through the trees; it was early morning.

"Seth," Edward said, with a nod of his head.

Edward didn't look too good. He looked like he had been running for days, dark circles under his eyes, clothes were torn, and hair a mess.

Edward, Seth thought.

"Where's Bella?" he asked.

Look, man, she doesn't want to see you right now. She said she was coming home and to give her some space.

Edward tilted his head to the side. "Seth, are you okay?"

Um, yeah? Think happy thoughts, don't think about last night. "Oh, Jake!" Nope, that was not good. It's strange that the more you try not to think about something, the more you think about it.

Edward tilted his head again but didn't look upset at Seth's thoughts. Now it was Seth that tilted his head.

"I can't hear you. Is everything okay? Where is Bella?" Edward asked again.

Hmm, that's interesting. He has never had trouble reading Seth's thoughts before.

It went against his natural instincts to phase back to human in front of a vampire. But this was Edward. They were friends; they had fought alongside each other.

There was a shimmer in the air as Seth phased back to his human body. Edward turned his head to give him some privacy as he got dressed.

"Why can't I hear?" Edward asked. Surely that was a rhetorical question. How the hell should Seth know?

"What are you doing here, Edward? Bella told you she needed time and that she would come back when she was ready."

Edward frowned, ignoring Seth's question. "Where. is. she. Seth?" he asked, clearly getting more frustrated by the second.

When Seth didn't answer, Edward took off following Seth's scent from last night.

"Wait, she doesn't want to see you right now," he called out as he followed Edward on foot. Unfortunately, he wasn't as fast as a vampire in human form.

"Edward, stop!" he called.

When he was sure that Edward wasn't going to stop, he called out again. "JAKE!" The least he could do was give them a heads up and hopefully have some clothes on before they arrived.

The cabin had just come into view, and Edward turned back to face Seth. "She found him? He's here? With her?" Edward was clearly distressed by this news. Seth used his distraction to quickly grab him by the front of his shirt.

"Dude, you don't want to do this. Go home."

Understanding flicked across his face, and it fell in despair.

A moment later, the cabin's front door opened, and Jacob walked out, shirtless, as always. He saw Edward and smirked.

Edward growled and lunged forward. Seth tightened his grip on his shirt and held him back.

A second later, Bella emerged from the cabin. Bruises on her neck, hair a mess and clothes were thrown on haphazardly. "Edward?" she asked as she stumbled out the door. Jacob caught her arm and stopped her from falling.

"Take your filthy paws off her!" Edward yelled.

Jake rolled his eyes as he pulled Bella around behind him, shielding her with his body. Seth tightened his grip again.

Bella peered around Jake, clearly shaken, "w-what are you doing here?"

"Bella, darling, I've come to bring you home. You aren't safe here," he said, glancing at Jacob.

"They won't hurt me; I've told you that before."

Edward pushed Seth back, and Seth had to release his grip on Edward's shirt to stop himself from falling over. Edward held up his hand in a stop motion. "Let me go," he snarled.

He composed his face and turned back to Bella. "Can we have a moment? Alone?"

"I don't think so," Jacob stated, pulling her behind him again.

"Jake," she said quietly, "I'll be okay. I need to talk to him."

"Bells, he is clearly very upset. I don't trust him at the moment."

Edward chuckled, but it sounded off, "she doesn't need protection from me!"

"Really? She ran away from you, across an international border to find me!" Jake yelled back at him.

Edward looked between Jacob and Bella. "So you have chosen him?"

"Yes, I have. I haven't been happy for a long time Edward. You've seen it, but you refuse to acknowledge it."

"He could imprint. You know that, right? One day he could walk away without a second look back, leaving you alone."

Jake opened his mouth to talk, but Bella interrupted him.

"I don't care," she said, swallowing back the tears. "I'll take what I can get. I'd rather spend one day with him, one night with him than to never have him at all. I love him," she declared.

Jacob smiled as he looked to Seth and nodded before turning slightly to face Bella. "Bells, I have already imprinted."

"What?" she and Edward said at the same time.

"I imprinted on you last night."

"WHAT?" Edward yelled before Bella had had a chance to respond.

Edward growled and shot forward until he was standing inches from Jake's face. Jacob was now taller than him, so the intimidation was lacking. Jacob was cocking his eyebrow and staring straight into Edward's eyes.

Edward's nose wrinkled, and his face turned furious. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER?" he screamed.

Bella shrieked at the volume of his voice. Jacob wrapped her tighter to his back with his arm. "Nothing more than she asked for," he said calmly.

"YOU'VE DEFILED HER!" he shrieked as he pushed on Jacob's chest. He had forgotten that Bella was right behind him as they both stumbled backwards.

Edward grabbed Jacob's arm as he fell and threw him away from Bella towards Seth.

In a flash, Edward caught Bella before she hit the ground. "I've got you now. You are safe," he said, holding her tight to his chest.

"Edward, you need to let me go!" she yelled as she struggled in his arms. He pulled her to standing but didn't let her arms go.

Jacob and Seth stood together a few yards away, unsure how to approach the situation. They watched as Edward put his nose in Bella's hair and took a deep breath.

"He is all over you, masking your beautiful smell." He took another breath and growled. "I can smell him in you!"

"Please, just let me go," she whispered again, this time with unshed tears in her eyes. There was a double meaning behind her words.

He looked deep into her eyes, and she saw his expression change to snarl. "You're ruined now away. I always thought you were different, but you are a slut, just like all the other girls at school."

Both Jacob and Seth growled at his insult, they went to lung at him, but Bella held up her hand. "Allow me," she said.

Bella knew what the result would be, but she couldn't help herself; she was furious at his spite-filled words. She pulled her fist back, remembering what her father had taught, "don't tuck your thumb." Edward smirked when he realized her intention.

She brought her fist forward with as much energy she could muster and connected with his face.

CRACK!

The sound reverberated off the surrounding trees. Bella had expected the pain, having fractured her hand last year. But what she didn't expect was Edward to stumble backwards.

She starred at her hand, still intact, with no pain, then back to Edward. He turned his stunned face to her, and she watched as cracks in his face healed over.

There was a moment of stunned silence from everyone before Edward took off with a blur and vanished.

Jacob grabbed Bella's hand and turned it over in his. "Are you hurt?"

"N-no, it feels fine."

Silence again.

"What the hell?" Seth finally said what they were all thinking.

Jacob, unsure what to do with this new development, scooped Bella up in his arms. He needed to feel her safe. "Are you okay?" he asked again. This time it wasn't just about being physically okay.

He felt her body start to shake as she let out a sob. "Shh, it's going to be alright," he murmured to her while he stroked her back. "He's gone now."

Seth held open the front door while Jake carried Bella in and sat on the couch. She was curled up at n his lap, with her face buried into his chest.

Bella was overcome with emotion. Everything from the night before and this morning came crashing down on her.

"I'm really your imprint?" she asked.

"Yes, I will never leave."

"I love you," she said before crushing her lips to his. She lifted herself up in his lap and turned to face him. She straddled his legs as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her tight to him.

Seth mumbled something about giving them space and quickly left the cabin. They didn't even notice the front door close.

"Are you sore?" Jake asked her.

"No," she panted as she ground herself on his lap, rubbing her center on his erection.

"Good," he said as he lifted her up and carried her to the bedroom.

He placed her down on the bed and immediately started pulling her pants off. Bella lifted her shirt off at the same time, followed closely by her bra. Jake growled when he saw she didn't have any undies on.

He dove straight into her lap and licked her from bottom to top. "Argh," she screamed as she arched her back.

He repeated the long strokes a few times before he stuck his tongue inside her. Finally, he reached his hands up to her breast and pinched her nipples simultaneously.

It didn't take long for her to come on his tongue. He licked her out until she stopped shuddering.

Jake crawled up the bed and kissed her again, letting her taste herself on him. "Damn, I felt your orgasm through the imprint bond," he chuckled. "That is definitely something I could get used to it."

"I love you," she said as she brushed his hair out of his eyes. "Pants off," she commanded.

"Yes, ma'am," he said with a smirk.

He rolled off her onto his back to lift his hips and pull them off. Before he had a chance to move back over her, she put her leg over him and sat on top of him.

He felt her wet pussy on his dick. She slid herself across the top of it, gliding with her wetness. "I want to be on top this time," she said boldly.

Jake was more than happy to oblige; he had the best view. "Lean forward," he said. She complied and put her hands on his chest.

He reached done between them as positioned himself at her entrance. "Take it slow."

She gently lowered herself in one movement until he was fully inside her. They both groaned at the completeness of it.

"Home," she said. That simple statement made Jake's heart fill with warmth.

She took a few deep breathes before she started to rock her hips backward and forwards. Jake played with her nipples while she moved slowly on top of him.

"I think I need help," she admitted.

He grabbed her hips and lifted her slightly before lower her on himself. He lifted her higher and dropped her faster. She groaned again.

He paused as he grabbed her behind the head and brought her lips to his. She moved her hands to be on either side of his head. Then, when he was satisfied that he could keep kissing her, he went back to lifting her up. He trailed kisses down her throat to her neck and found a large hickey from last night. He sucked on it again, causing her to groan.

"One time, I'm going to mark you here," he growled as he licked her neck.

"What do you mean?" she panted.

He stilled their movement. "It seals the imprint. My wolf will demand it, but not until you are ready. It will mean that you can only have babies with me. So it isn't a decision you need to take lightly."

She looked deep into his eyes, "you are the only one I ever want inside me. You are the only one I want to carry babies for. But, you're right, I'm not ready to be marked this morning. But, I will be soon."

He felt her words deep in his soul as he kissed her hard. His wolf was howling on the inside. She helped him start rocking again. He wasn't going to last much longer, but he could feel she wasn't ready.

Using one hand, he lifted her as best he could as used the other to find her sensitive button. He pressed his finger on it and moved it around in a circle. "That feels… so… good," she moaned.

He felt her walls start to contract, and it pushed him over the edge. He released inside of her in thick spurts.

Jake thought that night was amazing, but now that they were imprinted, sex was even fucking better.
