"Bella, get behind me." I ordered flatly. Bella quickly moved behind me and stood so close that she was touching me. Damn it, I can't phase when she's this close!

The leech was a woman. She had long blonde hair, but she wasn't that Cullen chic, she was different. Her eyes were crimson red and her nostrils flared at the scent of Bella. I snarled at her. Her eyes flickered between me and Bella.

"She was right. You are mouthwatering." The vamp's voice was like a song. It was just too sweet to where I couldn't stand it. My body was shaking violently. I wanted so badly to rip her to shreds right now, but I couldn't phase without harming Bella. Fuck! Where is the pack? Can't they smell her?

"She was right. You are mouthwatering." The blonde vampire exclaimed in a song like voice. Jacob was trembling furiously. I knew how hard this was on him. He wanted to phase so bad, but he couldn't do that without hurting me. If I stepped back it would give the vampire a chance to come at me. The situation was hopeless, and just as I thought that, the blonde monster grinned evilly.

"Who are you?" Jacob demanded. The vampire's top lip curled back in a snarl.

"My name is none of your concern, mutt! But, if you must insist, it's Jesse. Victoria sent me here to kill you off. She wanted me to make it quick." The vampire looked past Jacob and glared at me with her frightening eyes. Jacob growled.

Everything happened quickly then. The blonde came at me, but Jacob stood his ground and threw the vampire outside the door. Jacob jumped from the front porch, phasing in the air while letting out a ferocious roar.

"Jacob!" I cried. Jacob's wolf turned to look at me for half a second. Shit! Why did I call his name! In that half second, the vampire grabbed Jacob by the front leg and flung him through the trees. There was a small whimper and then Jacob was running through the trees followed by the rest of the pack. The blonde vamp gasped, and then looked at me, and then back at the pack of wolves.

The Sam wolf bit at the vampire's legs. Jesse screamed out in fury, snarling while looking at me. I took a half step back. She smirked and turned to the Jacob wolf. She bit into his neck making my Jacob cry out in pain. He tried to shake her off but it was no use to her vampire strength.

A sharp pain surged through me. It was a strong feeling. The anger was boiling at my lips. My body started to tremble, harder and more violently after a few moments. I ran from the steps, and then my body was in the air. I felt like I was changing, I heard this shredding sound and realized that my clothes had fallen to the ground; ripped to pieces. I landed on all fours. My upper lip pulled back, baring my enormous teeth. My human side screamed, but what came out from my wolf side was a loud, deep and anger-driven roar.

The blonde vampire broke away from Jacob; dropping his wolf form to the ground. I growled; my teeth still bore, biting at the vampire who had harmed my Jacob. In response, Jesse let out a loud snarl and plunged toward me. I dodged her attack and turned quickly to grab her leg with my teeth while she was still in the, throwing her through the trees.

'Bella?' I heard Sam's voice say in my head. I snapped my head at him. My eyes flickered from the trees to Sam, and then back to the trees.

'Go kill that leech!' I yelled at the pack through my thoughts. In response, they all turned; running into the trees, and the last sound I heard was the sound of metal ripping and I knew that they had killed the blonde vampire.

I heard the saddest sound that ever could be heard on this earth. Jacob whimpered, phasing back to human form.

I can't believe I let that leech sink her teeth into me. What the hell was I thinking? I felt myself phase back into my human form. Then, a large tongue was licking my face from cheek to forehead. I looked up, and saw a great white wolf lying on the ground next to me. Its eyes were full of worry and concern. Those eyes…I've seen them before. They were…Bella's eyes. I stood up quickly. Bella's humongous head snapped up, her wet nose touching my stomach as it did so.

"B-Bella?" My voice was broken as I whispered her name. The white wolf whimpered, and I knew that it was Bella. She licked my chest.

"Okay, Bells, umm, Ew." I let out a small laugh. In response, Bella's tongue flopped out of her mouth as her low bark told me she was laughing, too. I petted her fur and her big head leaned into my hands. She pressed her forehead against mine.

"Bells, I'm fine. Werewolf remember? I heal fast." Bella leaned away from me and fell to the ground.

"Bella?" I reached for her, but her body started to change. Slowly, my Bella appeared.

"Jake…" she murmured my name into the ground. That was all it took for me to kneel down beside her and pull her onto my lap and into my arms. She pulled her knees to her chest so her whole body fit into my lap.

"Oh, Bella. I'm so glad your okay." I whispered.

"Jacob." I looked up and saw Sam and all the other boys staring at me and Bella. Fuck, me and Bella were both naked. I looked around. Quil had a shit eating grin on his face, as did Paul, Embry, and Jared. Sam just stood there shocked.

"Damn, Bella." Quil commented. I snarled and curled Bella closer to my chest so she was more covered. Bella and gasped and turned her head into my shoulder. I knew why she did that; she was blushing.

"Quil, lay off. Bella had a hard time phasing back. I'm pretty sure she's really confused right now." I said flatly to all of them. They all burst out in laughter.

"What!" I asked in irritation. They all sighed.

"Jacob, your Bella was the one that got that leech off of you before it could kill you. She through that vamp into the trees like a sack of potatoes, and the rest…is history." They all said the last part in unison. I smiled disbelievingly at my Bella. My eyebrows rose.

"And she's got quite some roar, too. Hell, it even scared me." Sam said, looking down at Bella proudly.

"Jake, tell them to just go away and get me some clothes, because my pile of clothes are over there in one big pile." I laughed as Bella said that.

"Sure thing, honey. Hey, Quil I know you where boxers under there so give Bella-

"Jake I am NOT wearing Quil's underwear!" Bella yelled out cutting me off. I stared down at her blushing face for one second, and then all of us, including Sam, burst out into a hysterical laughter.

"Babe, no matter how much I would LOVE for you to wear my boxers; I'm pretty sure that Jake meant he wanted me to let you borrow my sweatpants." Quil explained to Bella.

"Oh." Bella whispered, blushing even harder. Quil removed his sweatpants. Bella moved under my grasp and slowly stood up.

"Uh, Bella, I wouldn't do that if I were you!" I tried to say quickly, but it was too late. Bella faced the boys completely naked. All of the boys' eyes got so wide I thought they were going to fall out. Quil clapped his hands and gave a catcall to Bella.

I grabbed Bella's wrist and pulled her back down into my lap. She didn't say a word as I picked her up and ran her inside the house. I set her on the couch and ran to my room to get some clothes on. Once I did that, I grabbed one of my boxers and t- shirts and headed down the hall and into the living room where Bella sat frozen on the couch. I threw the clothes on the couch and watched as she grabbed them quickly and put them on.

After she put them on, she got up from the couch and ran into my arms. I wrapped my arms around her waist easily, chuckling to myself. Bella leaned away to look into my eyes.

"Jacob, why am I a werewolf?"
