Prologue
And then his eyes bulged wide with a strange kind of confused horror.
"What?" he gasped. "What did you say?"
"About what… ? Jake? What's wrong?"
"What do you mean? Have a real honeymoon? While you're still human? Are you kidding? That's a sick joke, Bella!"
I glared at him. "I said butt out, Jake. This is so not your business. I shouldn't have… we shouldn't even be talking about this. It's private—"
His enormous hands gripped the tops of my arms, wrapping all the way around, fingers overlapping.
"Ow, Jake! Let go!"
He shook me. "Bella! Have you lost your mind? You can't be that stupid! Tell me you're joking!"
He shook me again. His hands, tight as tourniquets, were quivering, sending vibrations deep into my bones.
"Jake, sto-!"
Before I had time to finish the sentence, a huge large body passed me in high speed to land on Jacob's big body.
It took me a moment to figure out that Edward in his wedding suit was now hitting Jacob with all his strength. At first Jacob wasn't defending himself, I saw shock on his face and I didn't know if it was because of our conversation or Edward's attack. Then he started attacking back with anger.
"I will kill you for just thinking about risking her life" Jacob hissed as Edward punched his face with fierce.
I saw blood under Jacob's eyes, that's when I started begging Edward to stop. Jacob - probably due to the hard journey as well as his mental state – was not in his full strength, I saw him falling on the ground with the force of Edward's kicks. I cried for them to stop but it seemed like the supernatural hearing of theirs has stopped working at that moment.
I started walking to their direction, when I heard a denying growl from the forests. The growl was just in time because I felt the air of Jacob's transformation on my face, as I fell back on the ground.
In a few seconds four big wolves immerged from the forest. And my heart sank, will Edward be able to handle five wolves. It then surprised me that they too were using their strength against Jacob. They were trying to push him away, as he resisted.
During that time tears was falling from my eyes, I wanted to scream but was considering how horrific it would be if our wedding guests joined that terrible scene.
Everyone was hitting Jacob. His pack members obviously wanted to prevent the unbreakable damage that would occur if Jacob killed a Cullen. At the same time, Edward's usual patience with him disappeared as I've seen him harming Jacob severely.
I was begging them to stop in the lowest hysterical voice affordable, but it was unstoppable. The scene reminded me of the newborn battle and my heart sank, as I couldn't stop thinking that any of those people in front of me may have Victoria's fate.
I maybe was stupid, or maybe so smart. But I gathered my energy to go in between them and try to pull them away from each other.
I have considered danger, for sure, but I completely depended on how their urge to keep me safe would make them stop.
I forgot they are faster than I thought, and I suddenly started to feel pain all over my body. I swore I heard a bone or two break when Jacob's human voice was screaming in pain and despair.
A loud cry came out of my throat as something heavy hit my head and the whole world went Black.
