"Hey Alice I am going to go stop in the book store up the road," Bella called, the cluster of bags in her hands banging against her.
"Okay Bells, I'll meet you at the corner," Alice answered, skipping ahead to the shop on the corner.
Bella shook her head, a smile on her lips.
It has been now a month and a half since Bella and Edward have got engaged, and had their merriment, and preparations for the wedding are well under way.
"And I thought Alice was bad when it comes to shopping," Bella thought as she walked into the book store, relieved to get some alone time away from all the planning.
Not paying attention to where she was heading she bumped into someone, someone tall.
"Oh sorry," she said softly as she backed away from the person.
He turned around and Bella stepped back. Taking in the man in front of her, tall and muscled, his hair a silky black, tied loosely back into a pony tail. His eyes dark and deep, he looked almost menacing to Bella, almost.
He smiled, "It's no problem, things happen, my names Jacob, but you can call me Jake."
Bella just nodded, shaking her head she spoke softly, "My name is Bella."
(AN: remember everyone, this is strictly Edward and Bella, not Jacob and Bella, I will have none of that, though Jacob will be putting the moves on Bella, so there will be some interesting things to happen. And also, you guys must be thinking 'why would Jacob be found in a bookstore?' it will be explained in time. hahahaha)
Jacob smiled, his white teeth gleaming, "What brings you here?"
"Well I like to read, and to get away from all the planning I decided to come find a nice book," Bella said quietly.
"Planning?" Jacob asked.
She nodded, "My wedding," at these words she watched Jacob's face fall.
"Is everything okay Jake?" Bella asked.
He nodded, his smile returning to his face, but his eyes still looked pained, "Yes I am fine, congratulations."
Bella smiled, "How are you liking the kingdom?"
Bella watched as Jacob's eyes went black, "I am not liking this kingdom," he spat the word kingdom.
Bella looked at Jacob in confusion, Jacob saw this.
"In my kingdom they are the enemy, their king's father caused great sadness and harm to my family." Jacob said darkly.
"They have?" Bella asked confused, she never heard of such things, "What-"
"Bella come on! How long does it take to find a book?" she heard Alice call. Bella turned to see the little pixie bound into the little bookstore, and stop short, her auburn eyes slit as she saw Bella's company.
"Black," Alice said curtly, "What makes you think that you are welcomed in these lands?"
"I am allowed to go wherever I please servant," he spat, he turned to Bella, "I must be leaving now Bella, it was good to meet you, I hope to see you again sometime in the future."
Bella nodded, a friendly smile on her face.
Jacob gave Alice a cold stare and turned and left quickly.
Alice turned to Bella, who just has a confused look plastered to her face.
"Bella," Alice said softly, quite frankly the softest she has spoken to Bella, "did that dog," she said this disgusted, "harm you at all?"
Bella shook her head frantically, "No he didn't do anything Alice, he was actually very nice and polite."
Alice looked at Bella skeptically, "Okay," her quietness not returning to normal, "Time to get back to dress shopping!"
Bella sighed, following the now once again bouncing Alice out of the book store.

Edward chuckled as he saw his Bella trudge down the hall towards him, the over flowing amount of bags gracing her presence making it a funny scene, "Need some help?"
Bella looked up at his voice, her chocolate orbs shining in happiness at the sight of him. Dropping her bags she ran to him.
"Never again," she whispered into his chest, burying her head, enjoying his sweet scent.
He chuckled, "It couldn't have been that bad."
Bella looked up at him, her eyes screaming.
"Then again," he fixed, "I did not have to deal with that."
"Yet," Alice corrected.
Edward whirled around, his heart pounding, "Damnit Alice, you or Bella will be the death of me."
Alice laughed, "Well Edward tomorrow begins the big preparations so I will need both you and Bella to be there, but for now I think you should put Bella to bed, she had a long day."
Edward looked down at the angel in his arms, smiling at seeing that she was sleeping soundly through this entire racket. Edward gently lifted her into his arms and carried her to their room. Placing her on the bed he smiled, watching her sleeping form, taking in her rich brown hair spread wildly across the pillows and sheets, her body curled up into a ball, her neck adorned with the necklace and her finger gracing his ring.
"Sleep tight my little swan," he whispered lovingly to her, gently placing a soft kiss on her forehead.
"Edward," Alice said, a smile had graced her lips at the sight of him being so loving towards her, but then it disappeared when she remembered what she needed to talk to him about, "he was here today."
Edward turned, his blood running cold, "You mean-?"
Alice nodded, her expression now grim, "Jacob Black was here, and he has now met Bella."
Edward growled at that name, "That dog, why was here in the kingdom?"
"I do not know Edward, all I know was that I went to find Bella and there he was, talking to her, and enjoying every minute of it."
Edward clenched his fist, "That dog and his family, they have caused nothing but trouble, for everyone."
Alice nodded in agreement, "Things have only gotten worse."
Edward looked at her curiously, "Did something happen Alice?"
She looked away, and Edward could see her eyes holding sadness, "About a month and half ago Jasper left for a neighboring town for the day, when he came back that night he was close to death."
Edward could barely speak, "How-?"
"It was the Black's," she spit out bitterly, "they are getting desperate. Attacking unprotected towns, pillaging for goods and women. Disgusting, all of them."
Edward went over to her and gave her a hug, a friendly reassuring hug, "I am sorry this has happened to you Alice."
She pulled out of his embrace and shook her head, "It is alright, Jasper as you can see is fine, just a few cuts and scratches. I am more worried about you and Bella, especially since now Jacob has come into the picture."

"So son," Billy asked as he saw Jacob enter the great hall, "where were you all day?"
"Just out," Jacob answered dismissively.
"From what I hear is that you were in the Masen kingdom."
Jacob turned to his father, "Well fine then father, I was there, and while I was there I met her."
Billy raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Her?"
Jacob nodded, "Yes her, the one I know I am destined to be with," with that he turned and left, "And no one, not even her so called fiancé, will keep me away from her."

Oh boy, Jacob has gone crazy. And he doesn't even know who she is engaged to yet! This is going to be good.
I hope everyone enjoyed this, I will try to keep up with the story as the days go on.
And as for my other story, I will be updating that one soon enough.
Remember, leave a review and let me know.
Thanks
