Chapter 13 – Bella and The Wolf

I can tell she's worried about what I'm going to tell her.

"What is it?"

"Alex before I met you there was another girl."

She flinches and I feel terrible already

*Alex*

Another girl? I feel like I just got stabbed in the gut. I look down at our hands in front of me. I shouldn't be surprised, Jake is gorgeous, of course he's been with other girls; it still hurts though.

"Her name is Bella. I've known her since I was little but she moved away when her parents split. She just moved back a few years ago and I fell in love with her…"

He loves another girl? I feel like crying but I want him to continue. Call me a masochist but I wanted to know everything.

"… but she loved a vampire. All he did was get her in so much danger and all I ever did was protect her and lift her back up when he broke her heart. I thought she was mine after he left her but when he came back he stole her from me; it broke me. She wants him to change her and it kills me. I can't let that happen. I can't let him take away her life, her family. I thought I was better for her than him, I could give her a life but she ran away with him. He's probably changed her by now. I was chasing after them when you found me. That's when I imprinted on you… now everything is different."

A few tears slip down my cheeks and I'm powerless to stop them.

"No, Alex please… don't cry."

He wipes my tears away with his thumb.

"I imprinted on you. No one in the world could replace you in my heart. Nothing and no one could ever change how I feel about you. Okay?"

I nod my head but return my gaze to my hands in his. I want to believe him but I don't fully understand the whole imprint thing. All I know is that I feel like crawling up in a ball and never moving. The thought of Jake leaving me to be with someone else is crushing.

"Come here."

I can see the pain in his eyes. It hurts him to see me like this. He grabs me and holds me tightly to him. I bury my face in his warm chest and let his t-shirt soak up the rest of my tears. I feel safe and warm in Jake's arms; I never want him to let go.

After a minute of him holding me, I feel a lot calmer. Jake pulls away, holding me by the arms to look at me. He wipes the remnants of my tears away with his thumb and brushes my hair from my face.

"Your beautiful, even when you cry."

I smile a little and he smiles back.

"And especially when you smile."

I smile wider and laugh softly.

"I love you Alex."

I gasp a little. I figured with the whole imprint thing he probably did love me but I've never heard him say it. Do I love him? I smile brightly at him. Of course I love him why else would the idea of this Bella girl holding my Jake's heart crush me and bring me to tears. I never cry.

"I love you too Jake."

He smiles so brightly that I can't help but lean up and plant my lips on his. He wraps his arms around my waist pulling me up against his body and deepening our kiss. I love him… I love him…. I really do.

*Jacob*

She loves me! Well of course she loves me she's my imprint but god it feels good to hear her say it. I want to lift her up and spin her around while I kiss her but I don't; that would be so lame and dorky. I kissed her so deeply I felt her melting in my arms. I don't think I could get any happier than I am right now.

Something is coming. There's something running through the woods at us. I pull away from Alex's lips and pull her behind me.

"Alex get back!"

"Why?"

She's scared but she trusts me. She steps away from me but still stays safely behind me. It's close. I jog a few steps and jump into the air just as whatever it is, is about to pop out from the woods. I phase mid air as a wolf springs out from the trees. We land a few feet from each other I let out low warning growl.
