After the debacle with Bella finding out about the wolves, Jacob, felt it was time to come clean with Anne. He was debating on how to do this. What should he say? Oh hey, Anne, I know you know about the wolves and such but oh yeah I imprinted on you! No it all sounded so stupid in his head. He sat there on his porch for about an hour before he got the courage up to go back to Sam's house.
Sam, not surprisingly, had been waiting for him. He gave him a nod before Jacob walked inside the house. "Hey, Anne?" He called out only to find her drinking cocoa with Emily. "Hey..." he said once Anne looked up and smiled at him. "Could we um...talk?"
"Sure Jacob," she gave a nod before she got up and grabbed her crutches. But he quickly stopped her.
"You won't be needing those." He said with a smile causing her to look at him curiously. "I can carry you." Another nod was given as her arms wrapped around his neck and he carried her out to his truck. "Don't worry we aren't going far. I just...I just want to talk to you privately," he spoke softly as he sat her down in the truck. Once her door was closed he quickly got into the driver's seat as Anne leaned against him like she normally would.
They didn't drive far, only about 20 minutes or so. Once they parked he helped her get onto his back as he led her to a small look out spot. "Jacob...this is beautiful..." she said softly as he helped her sit down on a log. After he put a blanket down for her of course. "What did you want to talk about?"
"How much do you know or...remember about the wolves?" He asked awkwardly as he ran a hand through his short black hair.
"What do you mean Jacob?" Anne looked at him confused. What was he trying to get at?
"I mean um...do you know about imprinting?" He asked rather nervously as his hand fussed with his short black hair. His other tapped against the log they were sitting on. It was quite clear how nervous he was.
"You mean like a baby duck?" Anne looked at him with a slight cock of the head.
"No, I-" He chuckled nervously. "Oh god..." he rubbed his face. He was making a fool of himself. "How did Sam tell Emily...okay." He turned towards her and looked her dead in the eye. "I...we the wolves. When we find the one we are meant for...sort of like a soul mate but yet not...it's...an unconditional bond. It is not love at first sight...when you find your imprint...gravity moves. It's not the earth holding you here anymore, she does… You become whatever she needs you to be, whether that's a protector, or a lover, or a friend." Jacob looked to Anne and felt her thinking. She was staring at him for a long time before she finally moved.
"And...did you? Imprint?" She asked softly as she sat there waiting for his answer. Her eyes dropped when she felt Jacob take a hold of her hand. His fingers, each intertwining with hers. Her eyes then looked back up into his.
"I did...I imprinted on you...Anne Uley." Jacob felt his heart skip a beat when he felt Anne's hand tighten around his. "I will always be there for you. I will keep you safe...I will be whatever you need me to be for you."
Anne paused for a moment. Looking down at their joined hands and thinking about everything Jacob had done for her. He helped her with everything. He was kind, and sweet...he had been nothing but good to her. She took a deep breath, "What if...I want all three?"
Jacob felt a huge smile form on his face as he exhaled out a sharp breath. "I can do all three." He chuckled happily as he pulled Anne in for a hug. His arms held her close to his chest. His chin nestled on top of her head just perfectly. His lips gently pressed into her temple as they snuggled there on the log. "I promise...I swear to you Anne Uley. I will always be there to protect you...to love you...and be there for you always."
"And I promise the same to you, Jacob Black." She sat back and smiled as she squeezed his hand. "Can...can I see your wolf again?" She asked nervously as she bit her lip.
"You want to?" He smiled at her and when he got the nod in response he stood up. Walking behind a tree she saw his cloths being laid out next to the tree. The idea of Jacob being naked made her cheeks flush as red as her hair. Then slowly but surely the russet wolf came out from behind the tree. Anne stared in wonder as he walked up to her. Her hand slowly reached up to caress his head. A small purr like sound could be heard from him as he laid on the forest floor. His large head now in her lap. Her arms wrapped around him as her head laid on top of his. The warmth of his soft fur was comforting.
Jacob soon pulled back from her and went to change back. He came out from behind the tree zipping up his jeans before pulling on his shirt. Anne caught a glimpse of his muscles and felt her mouth run dry. He looked up at her and smiled as he walked over to her. "We-we should get back." He said with a smile as he helped her up. Her arms went around his neck as his own lifted her from the ground. He carried her back to the truck and then back home. Anne leaned against his side as she always did. The heat from his body comforting her as she seemed to doze off as the truck drove along the road.
