Its been about a month and a half since Bella talked to Jacob about wanting to be turned, I was at Jacob's house, I woke up to Jacob's fingers rubbing my shoulder as
I smiled,
"Hey" I said smiling at his smile. I felt his lips on mine, he picked me up as I wrapped my arms around his neck and breathed in his smell,
"What are you doing" I said smiling as he set me on my feet.
"We're just going for a ride." He said shrugging his shoulders, I changed into my blue crop top, jean shorts and slip on shoes. I walked outside to see Jacob got on his
motorbike and I walked to it then got on, I wrapped my arms around his waist. We rode to Emily's place, Jacob has been spending a lot of his time away from Bella and
with me. Jacob got off, I jumped on his back, his arms holding my legs as they crossed his waist, he smiled at that. I jumped off to see the Pack along with Emily.
"Look who's back." I heard a familiar face, it was Quil wearing no shirt and his curly hair.
"What up, Jace?" He replied.
"Quil, you too?" I said after a hug, Jacob's arms wrapped around my waist.
"Yep. Finally made the pack." He said with a smirk.
"Jace, this is Leah Clearwater. Harry's daughter." Jacob said pointing to Leah, I knew her dad, he was like an uncle to me.
"Hey. I'm really sorry about your father." I said feeling a tear go down my face. I wiped it away, then I felt arms around me, it was Leah's. I hugged back, we parted
and I saw Emily.
"Hi. Hey. I was wondering when we'd see your face around here again." Emily said hugging me.
"Yeah, same here. Sam, we're good?" Jacob asked the alpha.
"We're good. She won't be getting through our line anytime soon." Sam replied as I nodded, I saw Leah give me a small smile, then she phased into a silver wolf with
golden fur on her forehead.
"So, when did Leah joined the pack?" I asked as Jacob as we walked his bike to the house.
"Around when Harry died. Her brother Seth, also phased. He's only fifteen. One of the youngest we've had. Sam keeps him home studying, but he's chomping at the
bit. Wish it was Leah who'd stay home." Jacob said as we go into the shed.
"You know, a triangle thing. We all have to live the Leah, Sam, Emily pain-fest. Wolf telepathy, remember?" He said as I nodded as I fiddled with my fingers.
"Remember when I told you I imprinted on you." Jacob asked looking at my cheeks, they felt hot as I nodded.
"Imprinting on someone is like... Like when you see her, everything changes. All of a sudden, it's not gravity holding you to the planet. It's her. Nothing else matters.
You would do anything... Be anything for her." He said before kissing me, our foreheads pressed together.
"Jace, I got you something" He said as he got something out of his pocket. It was a homemade bracelet, it was weaved with red, pink, green, darker yarns it was
beautiful.
"I love it" I said as he put it on,
"It's a Quileute version of a promise ring" He said looking me in the eyes.
"I love you" He said cupping my cheeks.
"I love you more" I replied as I placed my head on his chest. Later that night I asked Jacob if I could bring Bella to the Bonfire, he said I could so later I got Bella for the
Bonfire.
"You sure this is okay? I really hate being a party crasher."Bella said as we walked close to the bonfire.
"Technically, you're a Council Meeting crasher. See. The Council leaders, Dad, Quil's grandpa, and Sue Clearwater. She took over for Harry when he died." Jacob said as
he placed his arm around me.
"Okay, I should not be here. " Bella said scared.
"You're okay. I thought... I mean, they thought it would be good for you to hear the histories." Jacob said chuckling.
"The histories? The tribe's histories? Aren't they secret?" Bella asked.
"We all got a role to play. And you're a part of this. I mean, it's the first time Seth, Leah and Quil are hearing them, too. But you are the first outsider. Ever." Jacob
emphasized it.
"If I haven't known that, I wouldn't believe you. And would've dressed better. " Bella said shyly.
"Jake. Hey. It's about time, you got here. Paul's been hoovering the grub. But, I saved you some burgers. Good lookin out, Bro." I saw Seth.
"Bella, this is Seth Clearwater, Leah's brother. Newest member of the pack." Jacob said smiling as I laughed.
"Newest, bestest, brightest." Seth chuckled.
"And slowest." Jacob said as he playfully wrestled Seth, a whistle was ringing through the air.
"Come on. Your dad's about to start. Alright." Seth said happy. I sat in Jacob's lap while holding my sister's hand. We missed each other, but it was complicated.
"The Quileutes have been a small tribe from the beginning... But we've always had magic in our blood. We were great spirit warriors... Shape shifters, that transform
into the powerful wolf. This enabled us to scare off our enemies, and protect our tribe. One day our warriors came across a creature... It looked like a man, but it was
hard like stone, and cold as ice... Our warriors' sharp teeth, finally tore it apart... But only fire would completely destroy it. They lived in fear, the Cold Man was not
alone. And they were right. She took her vengeance out on the village. Our elder chief, Taha Aki, was the only spirit warrior left to save the tribe, after his son was
killed. Taha Aki's Third Wife could sees that he would lose... The Third Wife was no magical being, no special powers, but one... Courage. The Third Wife's sacrifice
distracted the Cold Woman, long enough for Taha Aki to destroy her. She saved the tribe. Over time, our enemies have disappeared. But one remains... The Cold Ones.
Our magic awakens when they near. And we sense it now, we feel the threat in our blood. Something terrible is coming. And we must all be ready. All of us." Billy told
the stories, I just huddled closer into Jacob's warmth as I felt tired.
