Jacob couldn't believe that Bella was already in high school as well, they began moving towards the entrance to the school and Sam smiled at his girlfriend who was joining them. Even though Emily was still in high school the two were engaged because of his imprint upon her. Jacob noticed the loving looks passed between the two and he inwardly sighed, being alpha was difficult because sometime they needed to put their feelings behind the feelings of the pack. "Sam," Jacob said, "Go with Emily, learn the ropes. I'll see you at lunch." Sam looked surprised but didn't argue knowing that Jacob wanted him to spend time with Emily. As alpha there wasn't much time to spend with his girlfriend and he really missed her sometimes.
"Thank you Jacob," Emily smiled, "You are a darling as always." Bella giggled, "He's my darling." Emily shook her head, "You will bring problems Bella, if you don't tell him." Suddenly Bella's face fell and as if she remembered something, "You mind your business, Sam is not alpha anymore!" The other wolves gasped and even Sam looked upset, Jacob stood shocked. "Bella," he said slowly, "That doesn't give you the right to use that tone or those words. You've hurt my pride and Emily's feelings. Please apologize, it's only right." Everyone looked surprised, none more than Bella who puffed up her cheeks and Jacob almost found that comical, almost.
"I'm sorry Emily!" Bella hissed then stormed inside the building with her group of friends who had waited aside behind her. Jacob turned to Emily, "I do apologize, I don't know what has gotten into her. What did you mean by telling who what?" Emily shook her head, "It is not my place Jacob. However, I do thank you again for this opportunity with Sam." Sam took her by the elbow and nodded his head to Jacob before ascending the stairs to the school doors. "Jared and Leah you will stay with me while Paul, Seth, and Quil are monitoring the school grounds themselves. Circle the school and make sure the Cullens stay where they belong. I don't mean provoke Paul, I swear if you do anything to start a war the first one hurt will be you." Paul twitched but bowed his head and turned his back to change. Jacob nodded and began walking indoors, "Oh, I expect you all to join us for lunch indoors. It is about time the humans also witness our power." This made Paul look back and smirk at his alpha, showing off was what he loved to do, even if it was going to be as a phased wolf he was going to induce fear into what he called leeches.
Jacob walked down the hall mesmerized by the decorations this school held, "Leah, is this what your school used to look like?" Leah grunted, "Yes, give or take the pale colored people." Jared snickered and Jacob growled silencing further noise from the other two shifters, as they continued to walk Jacob chuckled, "You forgot to exclude the cold ones Leah." Leah rolled her eyes but smiled, she knew she was a bitch, but that didn't mean she hated Jacob. Jacob looked at her and smiled, "I know you don't Leah." Leah growled at him, "Stay out of my head damn it!" Shrugging Jacob continued to walk until they reached the office, "Hello, Jacob Black. I'm here to pick up my schedule." The secretary behind the desk nodded looking boredly at her computer, "Yes let me print it out for you." She tapped her fingers as it printed and when she finally looked up to hand it to him she blushed, "Oh yes. The tribal heir." Leah rolled her eyes and took the paper, "Thanks." The word was almost growled and the woman scooted back a bit. Her face flushed again as she remembered the chocolate puppy eyes and beautiful long hair.
Alice was sitting in her English class as Isabella came in muttering something about the dogs outside, frowning as Alice caught on to what was said she rolled her eyes. Beside her Edward shrugged, "I don't really care. She isn't my priority anymore." Alice nodded, knowing her brother had dated Isabella was a blow to her pride as a Cullen. How someone could be so cold blooded she would never know, Isabella had cheated on him with James, a vampire who had gone rouge last year and had been missing on the island ever since. He had broken up with her even though it broke his heart and maybe that is why he was looking for a mate now. He had tasted what having a companion felt like. Regardless of the scum she had been, it had been nice and now he longed for something permanent. "How did you even find out?" Edward asked. "I overheard you and Carlisle this morning. I stayed to hear because I knew something was bothering you." Edward sighed, "You're a busy body, do you know that?" Alice smirked, "You love me."
Edward shook his head, "How can I not. You're my best friend among our siblings." Alice giggled and drew Isabella's stare, more like glare. If looks could kill Edward knew he would be scorched instead he ignored her and continued on paying attention to Alice who was trying to see his future. Suddenly the door opened and Emily walked in followed by Sam. "Emily?" the teacher asked, "Who is this?" Sam bowed his head in respect, "I am Emily's mate. I have been assigned by my alpha to monitor her classes." The teacher knew about the rules of the school, the tribe was within it's right so she smiled and indicated to the chairs by the window, "Please join us in this lecture." Emily nodded her thanks and they made their way to the back. Edward could not stop his curiosity; he looked at Emily and swiftly entered her brain. Thoughts of Sam were on the surface and he almost flinched at the love emitted there, suddenly he was outside of the school and Jacob was giving orders. 'Jacob' Edward thought, 'That's his name.' Sam was ordered to spend time with Emily, the monitoring was a front so that things remained in order. Emily's love for the pack was unwavering as if it were her family.
A touch erupted him from her thoughts and he stared at Alice who shook her head. Turning back to look at Emily he saw her looking at him strangely while Sam sat hyperventilating, his body shook and several student look frightened. Emily switched her look to her mate and she placed her hand on his arm, in an instant everything was calm and a single glare was sent Edward's way. Isabella clicked her tongue and muttered something about lack of discipline. This caused Alice to hiss at her and earned a surprised grin from Emily who quickly went back to looking at Sam. Edward could not help and feel as if the treaty with the pack would be a lot easier, considering what a caring and mature alpha Jacob was.
Jacob waited with Leah and Jared as Sam and Emily walked towards them during lunch. They were the only ones in the hall way and were reuniting there before entering the cafeteria. "Sam, care to clarify what this morning fit was all about?" Jacob asked. "The Cullen boy was staring at Emily as if he was doing something to her!" Sam growled. Jacob nodded, "Emily, did anything happen?" Emily bit her lip, "He read my mind, I was able to tell he was in my memories." Jacob sighed, "Sam, please, try to control yourself. I'll talk to the Cullens tonight by the river. According to a resources they'll be there somewhere hunting , the mother has a soft spot for that clearing." Paul, Seth, and Quil ran up to them in wolf form and Jacob smiled at them, "Time for the show to start boys." He turned and quickly Sam and Jared fell behind him followed by Leah and Emily. The wolves brought up the end and the doors of the cafeteria slammed open as Jacob pushed them making everyone look over.
Jacob smirked inwardly as he walked forward to the area that had already been cleared for them, they were on the outside patio balcony overlooking the forest. Jacob knew how they looked, like a group of warriors with attractive women. The wolves let out a chuckle that sounded along the lines of a growl making some girls squeal. Jacob looked around and his eyes landed on Bella who had walked in from the opposite doors with a young man who's arms were around her waist and was kissing her neck. All laughter died down from the wolves and turned to real growls as they watched their alpha try and control his anger. Jacob knew he was so close to phasing however he also knew he shouldn't and so he began to take gulps of air. "She made a fool of him this morning!" Jared hissed.
Edward looked at the scene before him, the alpha stood stiff and all the wolves had tensed up. "Jasper?" He asked. Jasper looked at them and then turned to him, "Jealousy, anger, betrayal, and regret is the Alpha. The wolves are sad, but it's quickly leading to anger." The female next to Jacob, Leah, Edward decided from what Emily had stored in her thoughts, leaned forward and whispered, "She wasn't your imprint why bother?" Jacob snapped out of his thoughts and Jasper looked confused, "What's this imprint? The mention of it managed to calm him down, now the other wolves are also calm." Edward shrugged, "From what I saw it's how wolves choose their mate." Alice smiled, "How romantic." Edward shook his head, "No, it's apparently torture. The imprinter has to do everything that the imprintee asks him, to keep him happy. They're slaves of love, literally. You see the two females? They're cousins. Emily was actually going to be the maid of honor for Leah's wedding. When Sam saw her he imprinted and the brides were changed. Leah I bet suffers every time she's sees them together. From what I can tell they were happy without the imprinting." Rosalie raised an eyebrow, "Why didn't Emily just say no?" Emmett shook his head, "From what I can tell, its hard to say no to that kind of devotion. And Carlisle once mentioned the wolves could not live long after their mates passed away. Maybe, they can't reject them because it will hurt them?" Edward placed his hand to his chin and poked at an apple, "Maybe."
The sun was starting to fall when Jacob and the pack ran towards the river, this was the perfect time to catch the Cullen's and they'd be damn if they missed it. "Jacob," Jared thought, "They reek, but not as bad as the evil ones." Seth howled and nipped at Jared playfully, "That's because they're good." Jacob pulled to a stop as he stopped in a large clearing where the Cullen's feasted on several Elk by the river. However this wasn't important just yet as Jacob jumped in front of Seth, "They are different, not eating humans now does not mean they can't change their mind. Do not make the mistake of trusting them Seth. Do not be so foolish as to think they are good." Seth cowered at his alpha's anger and Leah nipped him, "Jake's right Seth. I don't want you to be hurt." Jacob nodded his massive head in confirmation and turned his wolf form to the vampires who had taken the opportunity to clean up.
Edward hated that he couldn't read the wolves, he watched as Jacob attacked one of his pack mates but what was said remained unknown due to the telepath communication between them. "What can they want?" Carlisle wondered. "Should we girls go home?" Rosalie shook her head, "They smell, however, not as bad as I remembered." Edward shook his head, "I don't think they mean us harm. Let's all stay and make proper introductions." Carlisle nodded in agreement, "Well put Edward." As they stood still and watched as the alpha approached them followed a few yards beyond by his pack. Only Sam remained a few feet behind him, acting as his beta. In seconds Jacob and Sam stood in human form, and they quickly put on the jean cutoffs that were tied around their ankles.
Carlisle walked forward and extended his hand, "Carlisle Cullen and this is my family." Jacob took his hand, "Jacob Black, and this is my family." Carlisle nodded, "Pleasure. I was wondering what brought this on? Was it simple introductions or was there a problem?" Sam growled, "Oh there is a problem alright." Carlisle looked taken back, "What?" Jacob looked at Sam, "Calm down." The pack members were growling quietly behind them. "What is the problem?" Carlisle asked, "I didn't think there was anything wrong." Jacob sighed, "Do you have a telepath among you?" A hiss came from one of the family members behind Carlisle as he nodded, "My son, Edward." Jacob took a breath, "He invaded one of the packs minds. He broke the treaty by doing so, and also demand the price be paid."
Alice shook her head, "No!" Esme grabbed onto Emmett who was trying to hold Rosalie back, "Carlisle?" Jasper stepped next to Edward and growled out loud, "That is uncalled for!" Edward shook his head, "I didn't know." Carlisle stayed calm though he was nervous on the inside, "He didn't know she was a pack member. I apologize for this, in all honesty I do. Is there any other way to fix it?" Sam shook his head and Jacob silenced him with a glance, "Someone else can take his spot." Carlisle began pacing, "Jacob, please, is there no other way?" Sam shook his head, "He broke the treaty!" Edward walked forward, "What is the punishment for broken treaty?" Esme gasped, "No!" Jacob looked up to answer but froze as Sam answered, "Death." Then everything happened at once, Jacob flinched at the overload his brain took.
Leah chuckled, as everyone in the pack caught ahold of what happened to their alpha as he stared at Edward. The sky seem to pause and the air seemed to sing, the river froze over as Jacob felt his heart break them begin to beat in two pieces. "Imprinting is a good way to save his neck Jacob." Leah said teasingly, "however, we wouldn't have gone against you if you had decided not to condemn him." Seth gulped, "Leah, I don't think now is the time."
