A Pup's Way Home

by ButterflyMiko

Grieving over Bella's inevitable death and transformation, Jacob had been about to storm out when SHE appeared. He could have still left if it was a girl, but it was a helpless wolf pup. He named her Tokol, the Quiluete word for "darkness," which she seemed to like. Perhaps loving her would heal his heart.

3. Porcelain Heart

Jacob bark-laughed. "Not Tokol?"

She nipped at him affectionately. "I cannot remember my human name, so I accepted that."

"Why were you a pup?"

"I got weak and assumed that form."

"You are...Yoro..." Jacob said softly. "What do you want with me?"

"I understand your pain." Holo said. "I too lost someone I loved. I loved someone and he betrayed me."

Jacob grimaced in silence. She could never understand his pain.

"You are a strong and wise wolf, as I am. Do not worry. This pain will not be forever."

Holo licked his face again.

Jacob felt the weight lift from his heart.
