Jacob found himself lying awake, staring at the ceiling in deep thought. Many things troubled him this night, and it wasn't solely the rotten stench of the vampires. More so, it was the person asleep in the room next door, not more than a few good strides away. He could hear her soft snores as she continued to rest in the room that belonged to Jasper and Alice.

Jacob's intense brown eyes were glazed as he let his thoughts run free. With the mind reader far enough away, Jacob was free to think back on things leading up to this point. In truth, he felt a mixture of things: happiness, relief, admiration, sorrow, and anger. The anger was directed at himself.

A deep sigh full of regret left him as Jacob thought back to all the trouble he had caused for Bella. How much pain had she suffered from his stubborn refusal to let her go? To let her be happy? Now that he had experienced the imprint, his mind was clear of confusion, jealousy, and hate. It was what had him relieved, but also left him conflicted. How could he ever make it up to Bella? How would his imprint react should she ever find out, if she ever accepted him, that is?

This last thought brought on a whole other set of emotions that were just as confusing as the previous set. There was so much about her to learn, so much left in the dark, and it was enough to drive him mad. He had barely scratched the surface of her persona. He wanted to know more. He wanted to make her happy. But how? If what blonde vampire said was true, that there was so much more even they did not know, what chance did he have?

Doubt flooded him, making his heart race as his mind started to create all sorts of scenarios. None of which brought him any relief. A soft knock came upon his door, startling him from his thoughts. Without waiting for reply, the person behind the door came in. Speak of the devil.

"You need to try and control your emotions," Jasper spoke as he slid into the room. He stayed near the door because he had no intention of staying longer than necessary. "I am not the only one who can sense the emotions of others. She is much the same." They both knew who Jasper spoke of when he said "she."

Jacob froze as his body stiffened and strained to hear for any change coming from the room next door. The soft snores were gone, but the soft and slow whisper of her breath was enough to assure him that she was still asleep.

"She started to awake, but I used my abilities to calm her and keep her sleeping," Jasper supplied. "Unlike myself, she is not so easily accepting of manipulating the emotions of others unless necessary. Her ability to sense them, however, is a match for my own."

"Why are you telling me this?" Jacob questioned sharply.

"I honestly don't know," Jasper shrugged and moved to leave the room. "Just remember what I said earlier," the underlying threat was clear as day. Indeed, Jacob remembered Jaspers promise to tear him limb from limb should he hurt the girl. Not in the mood to argue in fear of waking the sleeping form next door, Jacob gave a sharp nod of his head.

Jasper softly shut the door behind him, and only then did Jacob lie back down. He tried to relax his body, but it was difficult. His mind was racing. Taking a very deep breath, Jacob closed his eyes and slowly released the breath. He allowed his mind to concentrate on the battle that had changed his life in so many ways.

He could almost hear the sound of her humming, the first change that came over him. The sound had been easy to discern through the thick silence that had filled the clearing. The notes of the tune had tickled his senses, shocking him when his body unconsciously began to relax. Then when the wind brought her scent to him, a whole new level of awareness had overcome him. His senses came alive, but then, he had confused it with danger.

Everyone had been so on edge, so unsure of things to come, and it had made it hard for him to distinguish who she was at first. But her eyes! When he had seen into the depths of those beautiful blue orbs, he felt the earth slide out from under his feet. His entire being felt like it was falling, free falling into the unknown that promised either eternal happiness or sorrow. Then, as fast as it had come, it was gone. Everything clicked back into place, and his heart raced.

It hadn't been the time or place to react on his imprintation. He had to restrain himself, but it had been so hard to fight off his urges to protect her, especially when she had gone and placed herself in immediate danger. Her abilities, though, surprised him and everyone that had gathered. Pride swelled within him, but, thinking back on it, Jacob started to worry.

Would she find him worthy to protect her? Her powers, the ones she had shown and the ones she had mentioned far outweighed his in skills. He was fast and he was strong. Would that be enough for her? For someone who could call upon the powers of the elements and manipulate them so expertly? So gracefully?

Jacob began to feel doubt creep into him; it's icy fingers squeezed tightly around his heart. Suddenly the urge to sleep overcame him and it took him several seconds to realize it was that vampires fault. However, it was too late. Those few seconds were enough to give the vampire time to manipulate the wolf into sleep.

…

"Hey," a soft voice called to him, pulling him from his dreams. "Wake up," blinking his eyes open, Jacob's vision filled with the sight of the pixie girl. She was bending over his sleeping form, shaking him by the shoulder. When she noticed he was awake, she nodded and straightened.

"Good," She gave him a smile. "You're awake. I thought I'd let you go and wake Sere." Her smile was warm, but her gaze was mischievous. "Have fun!" The pixie-like vampire chirped as she practically skipped out of the room and out of view. With a loud yawn, Jacob pushed himself into a sitting position. His body ached all over and the smell of vampires clung to his skin, making him queasy. Even if the wolves and vampires were on good terms that did nothing for the stench of death that surrounded them. Standing and stretching, Jacob allowed himself to walk across the hall and to the room which held the sleeping goddess.

The door opened quietly and presented him with the sight of a tangled mass of sheets. The only visible part of Serenity's body was an arm and leg which dangled off one side of the bed. Also visible was the long mass of hair which fell atop the sheets in ribbons which resembled liquid silk. The long strands glowed in the light of the sun which filtered through the glass walls.

Jacobs's eyes focused solely on her and he felt the ground move all over again. It took him several seconds to break free from the trance he had found himself in, but then he moved forward. He stopped next to the bed and moved to lift her arm and leg back onto the bed. Her skin was warm, and the feel of her skin against his sent an electric shock through his system.

Being careful of her hair, Jacob began to slowly slide the covers away from her, searching for her head. The silk sheets easily slid away from her, and as her face came into view, Jacob froze. She looked so peaceful.

"Are you going to stand there staring at her all morning or are you going to wake her up?" Alice questioned from the doorway. Jacob's head shot towards her. He had been so focused on the sleeping girl that he had failed to hear the vampires approach.

"Breakfast is cooking, and she won't want to miss it," Alice informed him. "So you better wake her up while you have the chance." Again, the look of mischief returned to her eyes, but Jacob ignored it. He turned his attention back to Serenity and slowly reached out to shake her softly by the shoulder.

A low grunt of displeasure escaped from her parted lips. Her brows creased and a small pout formed on her face. "Five more minutes, Nikolai." She groaned and scooted away from Jacob's touch.

A low growl rumbled from his chest at the sound of the other man's name on her lips. She had mentioned the man, but not the relationship the two held. Was it friendship or more? The thought of another man – another wolf – with her had him on edge. The alpha inside of him rose to the challenge, wanting to find and put the other in his place.

Squeezing his eyes shut, Jacob forced the wolf in him down, not wanting to transform here, especially when he was so close to her. The thought of possibly injuring her during his transformation was enough to smother the wolf's ire. With his head clear, Jacob cleared his throat and then tried once more to wake her.

"Serenity," He whispered her name softly. Still, the girl moved to evade his attempts even in her sleep.

"No," She whined and turned. Her hands reached out to clutch the sheets to her chest as her body curled into a ball. "Go awaaaayyyy."

"No luck?" Alice had not left the doorway. No, she was enjoying the show way too much. It was no secret to her or Jasper that Serenity was a very stubborn sleeper. The two vampires found it humorous to try and wake her or watch others in the attempts. Thus, it was the reason behind Alice's suggestion that Jacob try his hand at waking the sleeping princess.

"Why don't you try this?" Alice grinned and stood straighter. Jacob shot her a look that held many meanings, all of which she ignored. "Serenity, Jasper is eating all of the pancakes!"

"WHAT?" A loud shriek came from the sleeping girl as her body shot up. The covers were tangled around her lower half, preventing her from moving to stand upon the bed. Not one to be deterred, Serenity in her daze shot out of the bed and straight into Jacob's chest.

Having not been prepared for that kind of reaction, Jacob felt himself falling backwards. His arms instantly locked around her trim waist, pulling her to him so that she would not receive any injuries from the fall. A low grunt escaped him as his back hit the carpet and her tiny body sandwiched him between her body and the floor. The long strands of her silver hair fell around the two like a curtain, and some tickled his nose causing him to sneeze.

"Oh my God!" Serenity exclaimed in embarrassment. She had not been aware that anybody else was in the room. In her hurry to find and stop Jasper, she had slammed into a brick wall, or, at least, that was what it had felt like. Only the brick wall gave way and she fell along with it, landing on its warmth. "I am so sorry."

Jacob brushed away the strands that fell across his face in time to see Serenity's face turn red in color. Her blue eyes were wide and darted over his bare chest. Which she just so happened to be pressed along from the small fall. He felt a chuckle threaten to rumble from within him as she attempted to remove herself from his body; however, the sheets which were tangled around her lower half prevented her from moving very far.

"Alice," Serenity whined as she shot a glare towards the giggling vampire. "This is all your fault."

"Here," Jacob's deep voice pulled her attention back to him. His large and warm hands settled over her hands, stopping their useless attempts at tugging the sheet away. They guided them to the side then helped her to roll over. She watched frozen as the bare chested man sat up and adjusted his position so that he could help detangle her.

Cool air brushed against her bare legs as he finally managed to completely untangle the sheets. A blush covered his cheeks as he took in the sight of her long and pale legs, and he quickly averted his gaze when he felt her discomfort.

"Sorry," He mumbled before standing and turning his back towards her. He missed the deepening of her blush as Serenity tugged on her shorts. Even though in battle she wore a skirt just as short, it was still embarrassing, especially when there were guys around.

"I-It's fine," She stuttered softly while standing. "It was my fault anyway." Taking the chance to escape, she did so, running into Alice who laughed and pulled her along towards the bathroom.

"That went well," Jacob grumbled as he turned and picked up the sheets. He rolled them up and tossed them back onto the bed before heading out of the room. He strode to the stairs and looked down, searching for one of the other vampires that lived within this giant house. Almost as if sensing him, Bella came into view from one of the other rooms.

"Bella," Jacob called and she looked up surprised.

"Jacob," She smiled towards him and moved to walk up the stairs to greet him. "How did you sleep?"

The simple question brought back the reminder of the prior night. Jacob would need to have a word with a certain empathy before the day was over. "Fine." Jacob nodded and felt unsure of what else to say. There was much he needed to tell her, but he didn't know where to start. "I'm sorry."

"It's fine," Bella smiled knowingly before moving forward to embrace him in a hug. "I'm just happy that you found someone."

"Have I really?" He questioned in doubt.

"Give it time," Bella suggested.

"I know," Jacob sighed and then rolled his shoulders. The muscles of his back still ached slightly, and a couple of his bones popped from his movements. "Hey." Jacob questioned while looking about. He could hear the sound of running water nearby, and could smell the steam. "Is there another bathroom I could use?"

"Sure!" Bella smiled and waved her hand, motioning for him to follow. She led him to the Cullen's second bathroom. "Need anything?"

"Can you ask Seth or Leah to run and bring me back some clothes from the house?" Jacob questioned honestly. "I reek."

"Hey," Bella slapped his shoulder playfully. "I resent that!" The two shared a laugh before Bella departed and Jacob entered the bathroom. He was looking forward to a nice and long shower. After locating a towel and washrag, Jacob shed himself of his clothes and walked to the shower. He adjusted the water to its hottest setting and then climbed into the stall, sliding the curtain shut behind him.

The shower stall's powerful blasts beat into his back, and the hot water soothed his aching muscles, allowing them to relax completely. He stepped back and let the water spill over his head. The warm drops of water spilled over his head and dripped down his face, washing away both the stench of vampires and the soft scent of his imprint.

"Jacob," Seth called as he entered the bathroom. His arms were full of clothes. "Leah brought your stuff over, and some shampoo. Billy told her to tell you to call him. He wants an update."

"Thanks," Jacob called as Seth left the small bathroom. Opening the curtain, Jacob reached out for the shampoo and soap that lay atop his folded clothes. He would have to thank Leah for thinking ahead. There was no way he wanted to use the fruity shampoo that was stored in the bathroom's closet. For the next few minutes, Jacob let himself forget everything except for the feel of the water.

…

"That is so not fair," Serenity cried as Jasper was allowed to sneak a piece of food without Alice's wrath. "Why does he get away with it?" She crossed her arms over her chest and pouted. Her blue eyes narrowed into a glare as she watched Jasper exaggerate his chewing. In retaliation, she stuck her tongue out at him, causing him to laugh.

"Oh my," Jasper grinned. "That's not very lady like of you."

"Does it look like I care," Serenity stuck her tongue out at him again. "If you were a gentleman, you would have shared that biscuit you just swiped! What happened to southern hospitality?"

"We lost the war, remember?" Jasper teased back.

"Wasn't the only thing apparently," Serenity huffed as Jasper spared her a wink.

"Play nice now children," Alice sang from her position at the stove.

"Since when was playing nice ever any fun?" Serenity questioned right as several more people entered the kitchen.

"Something smells good," Seth spoke up just as his stomach rumbled. "What's cookin?"

"Pancakes," Alice chirped as she flipped one into the air. "Chocolate chip pancakes at the moment." She added as an afterthought.

"Yeah, but be careful," Serenity warned the younger boy. "Alice is vicious about people sneaking food. Unless you're Jasper, that is." Alice and Jasper chuckled along with the others who had easily overheard the conversation from the other room.

"So, when will it be ready?" Embry questioned as his stomach began to rumble as well. He, along with Quil, had arrived ahead of Sam and the others in order to spend some time with Jacob. The two had missed their friend during the struggle and separation of the pack.

"In just a couple more minutes," Alice supplied as she slid the pancake onto a plate stacked full of more chocolate chip pancakes. "Just need to make a couple more."

"Ugh," Serenity grumbled as she allowed her chin to rest on top of the kitchen's island. Her blue eyes gazed longingly at the steaming stack of eggs piled into several large bowls. How she wished she could just devour the bowl right then and there. Her own stomach was cramping from hunger. Silently, Serenity wondered if Alice was taking her time just to torture her.

"You might just be right," Edward spoke as he slid into the room. He gave Serenity's shoulder a soft pat as he passed by her and towards his sister. Giving the pixie girl a soft hug, he then moved to greet his brother.

"I knew it," Serenity turned the stool around and hopped off of her seat. "Since I'm not loved, I will just leave." She quickly moved around the group of wolves blocking the doorway of the kitchen and moved into the living room. As she passed by the stairs, she noticed Jacob walking down the stairs. His hair was wet from the long shower he had just taken, but, thankfully, he now donned a shirt. A soft blush covered her cheeks as she recalled their earlier run in, but she pushed the embarrassment to the side.

"Feeling better?" She questioned in earnest curiosity.

"Huh?" He questioned as he was brought out of his internal thoughts. "Yeah, better." He ran his hand through his wet hair, causing some of the water still clinging to it to flick off the short strands.

"Alice took over the cooking from Esme, and breakfast should be ready soon," Serenity informed him as she moved to the living room. After that embarrassing moment earlier that morning, she didn't think she could stand to be pinned under his intense gaze for very long. It had been years since her last klutz attack, and, of course, she had to have the next one happen on top of a half naked guy.

"I thought I smelled something cooking," Jacob unconsciously followed her into the living room. It was a natural reaction to being so close to her, and he didn't even notice it until he found himself moving to sit next to her on the couch. Now that he thought about it, his nose picked up on a soft floral scent that radiated off of her. He hadn't recalled that particular scent from earlier. It was then he realized it had probably been her using the other shower.

"Was that you in the shower earlier?" He hadn't meant to sound blunt or cause her embarrassment, but he had.

"Yeah, why?" Serenity asked in embarrassment.

"With so much hair, I'm surprised you managed to dry it so fast," Jacob quickly supplied as his answer while turning his head to the side. He mentally chastised himself for speaking his mind before thinking it through. The sound of Edward's laughter from the kitchen only caused further embarrassment for the alpha wolf.

"Oh," Serenity fingered a few strands of hair, twirling them around her finger. "I guess that does seem kind of weird." She chuckled and used her free hand to summon the powers of the wind and fire. "However, my powers have some personal perks, including a super-powered, all natural hair dryer." The ball of fire and wind wrapped around Jacob, circling his head and drying his hair.

"Neat trick," He couldn't help but wonder if the fire would burn him should it touch his skin. The thin strands of flame were close to his face, and their warmth licked across his nose and cheeks.

"It comes in handy," Serenity nodded and allowed her control to release. The wind and flames dispersed around Jacob's head. Silence started to stretch between them, and as much as Jacob wanted to break the silence, he didn't know how. Jasper's warnings echoed through his mind, reminding him that he had to tread carefully around her. It was hard to believe a woman as powerful as her was so fragile.

"Breakfast is ready!" Alice called from the kitchen.

"Finally!" Serenity cheered as she jumped from the couch. "Come on; let's go get some food before it is all gone!" Reaching down, she grabbed him by the arm and dragged him to his feet. Without waiting for a reply, she pulled him along behind her as she all but ran for the dinning room table.

It was also hard for him to imagine someone so small eating so much! If things worked out, at least she would fit in around him and the rest of the pack….

Okay, this was not the longest chapter that I have ever supplied for you all; however, I didn't exactly get a lot of motivation from my reviews. Normally, I get a lot of reviews about how much they enjoy this story, but after the last chapter, they all seemed to disappear. I only had six reviews, and to those reviewers, I thank you! You all are great! To those who wanted this pairing and didn't review, I'm disappointed in you.

Seriously.

Anyway, reviews are not as important to me as they used to be, but I did want to voice my disappointment. Now, on to other news, only one chapter remaining for this story, and I will tell you now, you will probably be pissed how I end it, lol! I am so excited for the final piece of this puzzle. It will be my first fully completed, multi-chapter story.

I look forward to any feedback, good or bad. Take care all!

Next time: Everyone is ready to get back into their normal routine, but what does that mean for Jacob if normal includes Serenity leaving?
