A/N: So this is a special chapter. I wasn't going to do much with this but I've had a few request to do some more with Jacob and his imrpintee. It took me a bit to figure out something that would click with what's happening to Bella but I've done it. So for all those who requested more Jacob, here you go. I hope you enjoy.

JACOB

After we left Bella and the bloodsuckers, Sam ordered us to reconvene in our usual meeting place. I was gald of this because I had a few choice things to say to Sam. Once we were all reassembled, I crossed my arms over my chest and shot Sam a murderous look.

"What the hell was that?" I yelled. "Why in God's name would you give him permission to bite her?!"

He stared back at me calmly.

"Because it was that or letting her be killed." he finally replied. "I couldn't let her die. Not if I could stop it."

"But how do you know if he was even telling the truth?!" I shot back. "He could've just been trying to trick you into letting him bite her!"

"I know he was telling the truth because of something Bella told me." Sam stated. "She said that before he left, she wanted nothing more than to be one of them but Edward didn't want that existence for her. They fought about it for months. If he's willing to turn her now, then her life must be in danger."

"But she could still die!" I yelled trying hard to control myself. "What if he loses control and kills her?"

"Then he'll die too. That's something all of us agree on."

"But it won't bring her back!"

"Look, regardless of the risks, it's what Bella wants so just leave it alone, Jake!"

"How do you know that's what she wants? Maybe she wanted it then but we can't be sure now!"

"I saw it in her eyes, Jake! Something, you would've seen if you actually looked at her!"

"But..." I trailed off unable to find antoher suitable arguement.

"Now, I didn't call this meeting so we could discuss Bella's future. Those decisions have been made and nothing is going to change them. I wanted to talk with you guys about everything we just found out." Sam stated. "Now, I hope you were all paying attention when Edward went over Kyle's known abilities. Keep in mind that he could have more that we don't know about. As I've told Edward, our job is to protect our tribe and any other inoccent human from vampire threats. However, I do not want any of you to confront him one on one. If you find him then follow just watch him and report back to us. If their happens to be two of you then only confront him if you don't have any other choice. This is one I want to be able to take down together, I don't want any of you getting hurt or killed."

I listened carefully and nodded with the others.

"As for extending our lines, I agree with them, I think that would be beneficial for both sides. That way we can give Bella better protection." Sam continued. "Unfortunately, that means all of us will have to begin our shifts a couple hours earlier and end them a couple hours later. The next couple weeks are going to be exhausting. I'm sorry for that but we need to get rid of this leech before he has a chance to hurt too many inoccents."

We nodded as Sam finished his speech. None of us complained about the extra time. We just wanted to keep Bella and the rest of the humans safe.

"Any questions?" Sam asked.

"What do we do about the Cullens?" Jared asked.

"Don't get in their way but help them with whatever they need." Sam stated. "The rules of our Bella truce still apply. After all, we all just wanna keep Bella safe. Anything else?" Sam paused for a minute but no one else said anything. "Okay, then I want all of you to go home and get some rest. I want you all to be as alert as possible these next couple weeks."

After Sam dismissed us, I ran into the trees, removed my shorts and phased. I ran feeling the wonderful freedom it gave me. When I reached the edge of the trees, I phased back putting my shorts back on and headed home. As my house came into view, I noticed Alyssa sitting on the porch, waiting for me.

"Damn it!" I cursed to myself.

The unexpected meeting with the Cullens made me completely forget that I was going to spend the day with her. She looked up and smiled when I was a few feet away from her. My heart just melted. I couldn't believe that I'd only known her for a week and she was already doing this to me. My emotions made it so hard to figure out what was real and what was the imprint. I supposed though that it was all real and the imprint just made us aware of it. I still found it completely crazy how in love I was with her already.

Sam was right. I don't know how I even thought I could fight this. It was like my whole world revolved around Alyssa. She awoke so many feelings in me that I didn't even know I was capable of. As much as I loved Bella, she just didn't have what Alyssa did. I couldn't even describe my feelings for the beautiful woman sitting on the proch.

"I'm so sorry Lys." I said. Lys was the nickname I gave her. I thought Aly was way too ordinary for an extraordinary person like her. "Sam called this morning and said we had to meet with the Cullens. There's a dangerous vampire in town right now. And we're all trying to figure out how to destroy him. The Cullens had some new information for us."

"I understand." she said.

She try very hard to sound like it didn't bother her but I could hear the hurt in her voice. It was interesting how much more it hurt to have to stand her up for pack business than when I had to do it to Bella. I supposed it was just antoher one of the wonderful emotions that comes along with imprinting.

I sat down next to her and wrapped my arm around her shoulder. She responded by laying her head on my shoulder.

"We could do something now, if you like." I told her. "I'm all yours until eight."

She lifted her heads off mny shoulder and looked very hurt.

"I thought your patrol didn't start until ten?" she questioned.

"Well, you see, the new leech is targetting Bella. That's why the Cullens need our help. They've asked us to extend our lines so we can all keep on better eye on her." I explained. "We agreed but Bella means as much to us as she does to them. But the hitch is we all have to put in extra patrol hours."

Her face turned from hurt to anger and she stood. I didn't understand why she was suddenly angry but I wanted with all my heart to make it better.

"I suppose I should just leave then. I wouldn't want anything to happen to your precious Bella because you fell asleep on the job." she said her voice dripping with vemon.

I found myself as angry as she was as she started to walk away. I grabbed her wrist with more force than I intended too.

"What is that supposed to me?" I questioned.

"OW! Jake, you're hurting me. Let go!" she stated.

I released her hand as if it burned me. I took a few deep breaths to keep my anger under control. I didn't want to have an accident like Sam's.

"I'm sorry." I whispered. "But I don't understand why you're so upset."

"Because Jake, I know it's only been a week but usually when someone starts a new relationship, that means they're over the previous one! But here you are running around risking your life for hers!"

"It's my job, Lys!" I tried to make her understand. "It would be the same if it wasn't Bella!"

"Just answer me one question before I go, Jake! Do you still lover her?"

I knew what she wanted to hear but I knew I'd be unable to lie to her. The truth was probably the best way to go in this conversation anyway.

"Yes, I do." I answered looking at the ground.

She looked even more hurt and angry as she turned to leave again. I grabbed her wrist, a little more gently this time, and pulled her back to me.

"Wait," I said. "Please let me explain."

She stared at me to indicate that she was listening.

"Yes, I love Bella. She was my first, everything. I'll probably always love her. I don't wanna see anything bad happen to her."

"Oh, I'm so glad, I hung around for this." she replied acidly as she tried to turn away again.

"But," I stated loudly. "I can live without her." She stopped fighting me again. "I may love Bella but that's nothing compared to the way I feel about you. Love doesn't even begin to cover it. Yes, I'd feel terrible if anything bad happened to Bella but I'd be lost if anything happened to you. My world would come crashing down around me. I can't imagine trying to live the rest of my life without you. I love you more than anything you could possibly imagine."

I finished my speech and she looked down ashamed of her anger. I took my free hand and lifted her chin until her eyes met mine. I, then, brought my lips crashing down on hers. She kissed me back slipping her tongue into my mouth. I released her wrist and she twined her fingers in my hair. I wrapped my arms around her petite body, pulling her closer to me. She deepened the kiss and we stayed like that until our need to breathe won out.

When we finally pulled apart, she rested her head on my chest, letting her arms wrap around my neck. I left my arms around her waist and rested my chin on her head.

"I love you." she whispered. "And I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it, love." I told her. "I know how hard this must be for you. You just have to understand that I still care for Bella a lot. She's very important to me. Nowhere new as important as you are. But I'm always going to want to help her when I can. I don't want you getting upset about it because I'll always be coming home to you. Okay?"

"Okay." she replied and I kissed the top of her head.

"So do you want to do something now. We could go for a walk along the beach or drive out to Port Angeles for a movie." I suggested.

"No." she replied. "You really should get some rest. I don't want anything to happen to you because you've spent more of your free time with me than resting."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

She pulled away from me only to kiss me again. I wasn't that eager to let her go and kept pulling her back for more. She just giggled. After a fifteen minute goodbye, I finally let her walk away. As I watched her go, I let out a frustrated sigh.

I was beginning to understand exactly why Sam handled the situation between the three of us the way he did. If Alyssa was getting this upset because I was putting so much effort into protecting Bella, how would she feel if Bella and I were hanging out all the time? Even if it was completely inoccent.

On the other hand, I couldn't help thinking about the little bit I saw of Bella at the meeting. The pain in her eyes killed me. Which is why I couldn't look in them for more than those first few seconds. And the way she clung to the bloodsuckers hand. It was as if he was keeping her strong. Was she that upset with having to stay away from us? Or was it something else?

I knew I felt horrible about the way things were left. When I broke up with her, it all ended in a shouting match and anger. Then Sam asked her to stay away from La Push and me. I didn't want to leave it like that and I didn't think she did either. We both needed closure and a to end things on a better note.

I knew Sam was going to be unhappy about it but I needed to go see Bella tomorrow after my shift. I had to let her know that I still cared about her. I wanted to let her know that I would always be there for her when she needed me. Whether she was human or vampire.

I made up my mind to see her tomorrow, regardless of what Sam said. I needed that conversation as much as she did. Sam would just have to deal with it.

A/N: I know the end wasn't great. I'm sorry, I just couldn't figure out a decent way to do it. I hope you liked it anyway. I know Alyssa seems like a real bitch but really she's not. Just try to imagine being in her position. It really isn't a nice place to be. I know, I'd be bitchy if I was in that position. Also, I know it seems like their relationship went fast but I'm thinking, the imprint mixed with the hormones speeds things up. I think that's it for tonight.
