-1Preface

I was running through the forest at an inhumanly pace. I knew he was out here, he had to be.

Jacob would not have left me like that, without even giving me a chance to talk. I paused for a second, trying to figure out where I was when something sparkled on my left hand.

The reason he left. The reason Jake had felt the need to run off and push everyone out of his life.

Elizabeth Masen's wedding ring glittered on my finger, outlined with the gold wedding band.

I had to find him. I couldn't let Jacob Black leave me again.
