Chapter 3

Ok so this I so much later than I originally planned for it to be up. I couldn't get it to flow right at first and then I realised I was neglecting my other fic to work on this so I had to go back and finish that before updating this.

As always a big thank you to everyone who reviewed alerted or favourite this story or me. I was overwhelmed with the response for the previous chapter and I am so happy that people are enjoying this piece of fanfiction

Disclaimer: I own nothing at all. I am just borrowing for the duration of this fic and maybe a few others as well.

Bella POV

I could feel the panic overwhelming me as Jacob began to drag me back. It became harder and harder to breathe the further I was pulled away from Seth. I felt like a hole was being ripped in my chest. I felt even worse than when he left. The tears started pouring down my face. I didn't want to be taken away from my Seth, I just wanted the comfort and secureness that his arms were sure to offer.

I watched in horror as Seth came running towards me and Jacob pure rage on his face. I was shocked that the good natured Seth could become so angry and rage filled, especially due to the fact that Jacob was pulling back me, a girl who he hadn't seen nor spoken to in nearly a year. I wondered what it was that made him act like this.

Behind me I could feel Jacob panicking, his arm kept spasming and his breath was coming out harsh against my neck. I didn't understand why Jacob was dragging me away though. All I wanted was a chance to get close to Seth and it seemed Jacob had lost it. I mean I knew that he liked me but I don't know what would possess him to act like this. I have told him numerous times that I don't feel for him what he feels for me. What right did he have to pull me away from someone that I wanted to get to know? He had no say in who I could or could not date.

I felt as bump as Jacob hit into something, which I assumed was my truck. His arms tightened around me but he didn't try to pull me away again or try to get the truck open. I tried to pull away but he pulled me back painfully crushing me to his chest.

"Don't move Bella, I don't want Seth to hurt you and if you go near him he could snap. I would never forgive myself if something happened to you. All I'm trying to do is help you."

I could feel in my heart that what Jacob was saying was not true. I just knew that Seth would never let any harm come to me let alone harm me himself. For some reason however Jacob saw Seth as I threat and I dint understand why. I thought back toward what Jacob said as I approach Seth and began to wonder what imprinting was. Jacob had said that Seth had imprinted on me and he had sounded angry about it. I realised that this imprinting, whatever it was, was the reason that I was so drawn to Seth and the reason why Jacob was acting like he was.

Seth had finally drawn to a stop barely a few inches away from me and Jacob and he seemed to be vibrating with energy almost like he was fighting with something within himself. I reach out with my fingertips and managed to reach Seth arm. I could feel the tremors become less violent as I stroked his arm.

I was vaguely aware of him and Jacob arguing but all I could concentrate on was how good it was to finally be able to touch Seth.

Seth POV

The pack was all outside Jacob waiting for him to finish getting ready so we could head to the beach for the bonfire we were having when I heard the low rumble of Bella's truck approaching. The guys and I turner, almost as a unit to stare in confusion. Wondering what she was doing here when she hadn't left her home in months since the leech had left her. I wondered what had changed to make her want to come now.

We all stood staring as she exited her truck, her eyes trained on the ground. She lifted her eyes when she was finally safe on the ground and scanned the pack before her eyes came to meet mine. It took me a few seconds to realise what this feeling of contentment, overwhelming protectiveness and the connection I felt toward Bella was. And when I did realise I was I felt a smile looming over my face. I had imprinted. A few of the other guys had expressed concern and a large amount of distaste about being tied down to one girl but I could hardly wait for the time when I would meet my soul mate, the girl I would spend my life with and it had finally happened. With Bella none the less.

Jacob however did not share my feelings of joy and happiness over my imprint on Bella when he finally realised what had happened. I could feel the anger coming from him as he shouted out about her being his Bella. My wolf did not like that though and I let out a low growl, too quiet for Bella to hear as she approached me. I paid no attention to Jacob other than that though. My thoughts consumed with the fact that I was finally going to be able to touch my imprint.

Just as I neared her though Jacob grabbed her and began to drag her back. My wolf flipped out at this trying to claw his way to the surface, wanting nothing more than to tear Jacob apart. I kept him held down though with thoughts of injuring Bella as we attacked Jacob. The wolf understood the need for Bella safety over the idea of hurting Jacob and while he didn't like it he simmered down and I managed to stay human.

I started toward Jacob and Bella, my eyes fixed on to the arm that he had around her waist when I felt a hand pull me back. I heard Sam hiss a command into my ear but it meant nothing to me while know that my imprint, my Bella was in danger. It took me a few second but I fought off the alpha commanded and stared running toward them. My thoughts centred on getting Bella away from Jacob. I could see the terror in Bella's eyes and I had to do something.

I came to a stop a little bit in front of them, close enough to feel Bella's breath and to be able to touch her, I refrained for the moment though wanting to get her out of Jacobs's arms before I offered her any comfort.

I stood there trying to calm myself down before I scared Bella and caused Jacob to phase which would hurt Bella when I felt the briefest touch on my arm. I looked down to see Bella's fingers straining to touch me from under the confinement of Jacobs arm. That was all that it took to calm me down enough to try to reason with Jacob.

"Jacob, please let her go, I know how you feel about her but she is my imprint and you have no claim on her what so ever."

"I can't just let her go, I waited for her so long and she finally came here to see ME! And what do you? You take my chance away from me with ONE LOOK!"

I could Bella's fear within me and knew that I had to do something. I couldn't let anything hurt her in this way.

"Jacob you are hurting and scaring Bella," I hissed

This seemed to get through to him as he looked down with worry in his eyes to look at her, giving me the chance to grab his arm away from Bella waist. I pushed Bella away into the arm of Jared who pulled her back just in time for Jacob to phase into a wolf. I heard her faint gasp just before I phased as well. I steeled myself, knowing that if I didn't manage to convince Jacob that I was what was best for Bella then there was going to be a fight. I could only hope that the rest of the pack got Bella away just in case something did happen.

I hope that you all enjoyed this chapter even after the long wait and I would love to hear what you think. So please leave me a review, it makes me so happy when I get an email informing me of a new review
