I ran through the woods until I reached the reservation. In seconds the wolves were here. They could see the conversation in my mind. How does he know? Embry was angry. What has been revealed? Sam asked. Leah wasn't here, which was fine with me. The rest of their minds were buzzing making it hard for me to think. We transformed into are human forms.

"He suspects something."

"What does he suspect?"

"He asked me a lot of Questions. He wants to know about us, and what we do on the reservation?"

"He has no jurisdiction on the reservation. We have no obligation to tell him anything.'' Sam's voice tensed.

"He suspects that the Cullen's are different."

"What did he say?"

"He asked me questions about Edward. They were strange questions. He wanted to know if I noticed things that were different about him."

"Perhaps the Cullen's have mentioned secrets. Or Bella has told him things."

"Bella would never betray are secrets like that, especially the Cullen's." I added sourly.

"He must have seen something." Embry nodded.

"Should we tell the Cullen's?" Seth asked all concerned.

"No. We are not going to create a storm where there isn't one. First we'll find out what Charlie wants. How much Charlie knows? Or even if this is what he's referring to."

I smirked. What else is significant? A mortal knows something supernatural is happening.

"What if ...we did tell him about the Cullen's?" If he already knew something. We would just be filling him in.

"We are not going to break the treaty Jacob."

Agreed. I would never be the first to break the treaty.

"He wants to talk to you Sam."

"We'll all go. In wolf form.''

We transformed back into wolves. We ran through the woods as a pack. Seth wanted to tell Edward what was happening. Not yet Seth. Not until we know what this is all about. We all crushed the ground as we ran. We arrived at Charlie's house. Isn't it kind of soon to talk to him now? I just left. No. It's alright. Sam fazed. He grabbed his clothes. "Keep your distance, stay hidden in the forest." Sam dressed before he walked up to the house and knocked. The stench was revolting. No mistake the leeches had been here. The door closed behind Sam. This is a good hiding place. Seth was sniffing the ground. I caught Bella's scent. I pawed at the ground; it was very close to his scent. We moves around and watched the house as wolves.

…

That went well. Charlie ended up all red in the face furious. Sam looked like the most uninformed person on the rez or anyplace for that matter. Sam had just played the dumb clueless, person that didn't know anything. Charlie didn't buy it. Especially when Sam had asked him "What makes you believe something weird is going on." Ya, Charlie suspected something but we still had no Idea what. We have to ask the Cullen's; Sam had replied to our inquiries. Sam's casual questions had been met with anger. Especially the one he asked about Bella, "Why don't you ask Bella, if you think there's something wrong with her fiancé". Fiancé what a joke... "Leave my daughter out of this." We had all heard that one from the forest. It hadn't helped that Sam had shown up eight minutes after he asked to speak with him, or that Sam had known about the wedding before he did. Why hadn't Bella said anything? It all ended With Charlie Furiously warning Sam that he would find out what we had all gotten his daughter involved in.

I walked back home. I could have fazed, but I didn't feel like traveling anymore on all fours today. Seth stayed near.

"What do you think got him thinking about this?" Seth asked curiously.

"I have no idea?''

It was obvious who probably knew about this.

"We should ask Bella about this?"

"Ya," Seth agreed.

We made it to the house, the phone was ringing. My dad picked it up.

Seth jumped

"Your dad sounds intense."

I rolled my eyes. I didn't like to use my wolf senses to spy on my friends or family.

"My dad won't like us listening in.''

We heard the voice on the other line. We both froze. We quickly ran up to porch and listened quietly. Twenty minutes later we were both staring at each other. Seth's mouth looked like his jaw was going to hit the ground. I suddenly, just felt funny. I laughed loudly.

…

Bella (pov)

Edward and I had breakfast. It was a nice sunny day today. The sun came into Edward's room. The rays bounced off Edward's skin, a sight to behold. I helped him tape some of his boxes closed. Edward had accidentally crushed some of his things when he tried. I told him my gentle human hands could do the job. My phone rang. It was Jacob. It rang until he left a message. Edward looked at me curiously. I listened. "Bella I need to talk to you. It is important."

"Edward, I want to say goodbye to Jacob." Edward went still and looked into my eyes searchingly.

"No. It's not like that Edward. It's not likely I'm ever coming back. I was already thinking about telling him goodbye, and then he sends me this message."

"Do you know what he wants to talk to you about?"

"No. He just says it's important."

"If he wants to see you, he can very well come on this side of the line himself."

"Are you angry?''

"No. You wish to see him. He will find the new developments interesting."

"He's under orders by Sam. I'll just meet him somewhere so he can tell me. In fact I'll let him know I'm leaving then."

He sighed. "It may provoke a problem." He set a large box marked 1984 in the closet.

"No it can't. I won't tell him about Charlie. I already told him goodbye in a way. This is just to wish him the best."

"Fine, I'll drive you to the edge of the reservation."

"I don't have to see him at the reservation, just a quick goodbye. I've made my choice."

…..

Edward put the duffle bags in the back of the truck.

"In case we have to leave in a hurry. Of course only for strict emergency, we'll drive away in my Volvo."

I crossed my arms. "What is so terrible about my truck?''

Edward grinned. "The truck will certainly be delivered to where it needs to be."

I had made Edward promise the truck was coming with us. Rosalie and Emmett had already agreed to come and get it when the time was right. Edward drove to the meeting place.

"It doesn't have to be in private what he tells me. You can be there too."

He smirked. "I'll be there, I'll keep my distance."

We stopped right outside the reservation. Jacob jumped out of the forest. Edward wasn't happy.

"I'll just be a minute."

"You go ahead. I'll just wait here.''

Edward sat in the truck, while I approached Jacob. He was wearing the toothiest grin I had ever seen on him.

"Hey Bella."

"Hey Jake. Is everything ok?"

"Good...good. ...I just haven't seen you in a long time."

"You said it was important."

Jacob's eyes shifted in Edwards's direction. "Kind of important, what about you? Anything new?" He almost sneered.

"I'm leaving Jacob." Edward sat in the truck staring at us.

"I thought you were getting married."

"I am getting married."

"Well, I got an invitation."

"You got one?"

Jacob held up the invitation. I wondered if Alice had completely ignored my rules on who to give out invites.

"Your dear leech thought I should get one, like kind of a truce or something."

I looked back at Edward. He was severely still.

"You're leaving?"

I looked back at Jacob. "Yes."

He looked angry.

"You knew it was going to happen."

"They have to leave. You don't!"

"Jacob I picked him. I picked Edward."

"I heard about it. Your Dad doesn't like Edward."

I froze. What had Jacob heard? I wasn't going to talk about that.

"We are still getting married."

"He wants to know what is going on. He had a meeting with Sam."

"You can't break the treaty."

"I'm going to stop you."

"Jacob, don't do this…"

"I'll do what I have to."

Edward was about to get out, I could feel it.

"Goodbye Jacob."

I turned away from Jacob and walked angrily back to my truck. I got in and slammed the door. We sat there for a moment. Edward's and Jacob's eyes bored into one another. Jacob ran into the woods. Edward started the truck and left.

"This complicates things."

"Edward what was he thinking?"

"He kept his thoughts guarded from me. The quileutes have no intention of violating the treaty, or exposing their secret."

I felt some relief at that. At least Charlie's actions weren't going to start a war.

"He plans to stop us at any cost."
