When Jacob Black in his wolf form started to move closer to Leah's unconscious wolf form, Edward snarled showing off the whites of his teeth. The sound was terrifying and threatening. Anyone with half a mind would have backed off. Yet Jacob kept moving forward. He planned to grab Leah and carry on his back to La Push. He figured that once he had her home, he could convince her that he'd been right all along.

"You're not taking here anywhere Black." The bronze haired vampire snarled and curled his body protectively around his girlfriends. "In case you don't know the human laws, that constitutes as kidnapping. Plus if you actually think I will let you walk away with her, you've got something wrong in your head."

I am her Alpha! Jacob countered as he shifted his weight on his front paws. Wolf law states that a shifter has to obey the command of Alpha whether they wish to or not.

"You are on vampire territory. Shifter laws do not count here. You try to take her with force, I will respond in kind. Leah is on Cullen land and you have no say when you are on Cullen territory. I suggest that you gather your pack and leave." The mind reader stroked the grey wolf's fur. He was worried she hadn't changed back to human form when she passed out.

Give me Leah and I'll go without a problem. The russet wolf kicked at the ground with his hind legs. He felt anxious for a fight and was looking for any reason to attack. She's my pack and I am not leaving without her.

Edward placed Leah in Rosalie's arms. "Well you are not leaving with her. I am going to give you exactly two minutes to get off our land or I will be forced to remove you. You're breaking the treaty by staying here when we ask you to leave. Get gone now and there is not a problem. She will contact when she is ready and not a moment sooner."

It looks like we have a problem then leech. You are going to have to make me leave. I don't know if you're hard of hearing or what, but I told you that I'm not leaving without Leah Clearwater. You are going to have to fight me first. Jacob hunched forward and snapped his massive jaws open and closed.

Edward nodded as if accepting the challenge. He rolled his neck before taking a single step forward. His arms hanging loosely at his sides. "I warned you Jacob Black. I gave you a chance to leave without the any violence. You're the one who broke the treaty. I am only doing what I have to do in order to keep the woman I love safe. You caused her pain. Pain so severe it caused her to pass out. I will not allow you to do so again."

That is when they both attacked. Jacob's shifter jaws opening only to close around Edward's shoulder joint. The mind reading vampire wanted to scream out against the sharp pain, but he gritted his teeth and managed to hold it in. Instead of screaming he grabbed a fistful of fur on the russet wolf's neck before throwing him off and watching as he landed in the dirt hard.

Jacob rolled a few times before shaking it off and getting back up. He lunged for Edward again, but he missed his target. The bronze haired blood drinker had moved so quickly that Jacob couldn't even see where he went. Edward ended up behind him and grabbed him by the tail causing the shifter male to yelp out in pain. That did not stop the veggie vampire from continuing his assault nor did it stop Jacob.

The wolf growled and used his hind legs to place a forceful kick on the leech's chest. Edward went flying backwards, yet he managed to somehow land on his feet. He used the momentum to push himself forward as he and the Alpha wolf slammed into each other. His hands wrapped around the shifters throat and Jacob's overly large paws clawed at his chest while shredding his shirt at the same time.

Somehow the yellowed eyed bloodsucker got the russet wolf down on the ground. The wolf flared his legs helplessly as his pack brothers watched. Jacob had asked them to stay out of the fight. If it had been a fight for territory it may have been different. Though this wasn't a fight for territory or even respect. This fight had nothing to do with anything other than a girl. A girl that Edward Cullen would die for if he could.

As he was choking the life out of Jacob Black, Edward couldn't help but feel guilty. He did not want to be a killer. He didn't hate Jacob Black exactly. He simply did not like how the Alpha wanted to take her away. It should be her choice if she wanted to stay with him. Jacob should not interfere with matters that did not concern him.

"I don't want to kill you Jacob. You may see me as a monster, but I haven't been that for a long time." Edward loosened his grasp slightly. "I love Leah and if you give me no choice other than to kill you, I will have to take that option. I am asking for your families sake, and for the sake of your pack, don't make me do it."

The wolf glared up at the vampire. Baring his teeth as he thought carefully. He would not back down like some kind of coward. Yet, this didn't seem like a fight he could win. Not right now anyways. He had to stay alive for his pack, but Jacob couldn't see himself leaving Leah behind. She was his Beta.

"Perhaps I can come up with a suitable agreement?" Carlisle interrupted as his son let go of the Alpha wolf. "I can understand your reasons for feeling concern about Leah staying with us, but what if I made you a deal? You give us two month's to come up with a compelling enough reason for her to stay. Something we can back up with proof? Would you let her stay then?"

TBC...
