Chapter 7
I stared at him questioningly, wondering what it was that he had to tell me but also painful for him to do so. I wanted to grab his face in my hands and mold our lips together and tell him to tell me later but I knew life wasn't that easy. I had the man I wanted now but things weren't going to be so peachy.
He let my hand he was holding drop and grabbed onto my forearms pulling me an inch closer to him. I looked up at him and he was staring down at me. A lot of emotions seemed to pass through his eyes.
"Eva… I don't want you to be afraid of… of me. I'm sorry things have to be like this but there's nothing I can do to change it," he breathed in for a second and removed one of his warm hands from my forearm to cup my cheek, "I love you," he whispered, "And… and I hope that you'll accept me after I show you,".
He let both hands drop once again from my forearm and cheek and I watched him curiously as he backed away from me.
My heart was beating erratically in my chest and I was quite worried as to what he was going to show me. What was that bad? Why did it affect our relationship? I just stood there and watched him.
He was still facing me but his back was facing the woods while mine was facing the sea, he was a good feet away from me now.
Much to my surprise he lifted his brown t-shirt over his head, revealing his perfect body. He then kicked off his white trainers and I started to wonder where this was going.
He stood there for a minute just staring into my eyes before turning around and facing the woods. I took that as a signal to follow him which I did. Before I reached him though he jogged into the woods and before I had time to even get into them, that's where I saw it. My Jake wasn't jogging into the woods anymore but had exploded into an enormous wolf.
I felt like screaming but my breath caught in my throat. I wanted to run for dear life but my body wouldn't respond. I felt all blood drain from my face and I felt cold. I couldn't feel my heart beating either. I just stood there frozen like a statue.
It seemed my eyes were the only thing working since I could see Ja- the wolf make its way slowly towards me.
It slowly emerged from the woods and I noticed it had russet colored fur, like Jake's skin. It looked sad and just stood there on its four legs staring at me.
It was there that I noticed that its eyes belonged to Jake and I suddenly started to think I was going mad but knew deep down in my heart that I wasn't and that this wolf was… my Jake.
I remembered what he had said to me about me accepting him after he showed me and I suddenly felt like crying. I loved him so much that I couldn't and wouldn't run away from his wolf figure.
I felt a tear run down my cheek and my body seemed to be responding to me again. I knew that was a sign that I shouldn't just stand here and I did what I thought was caring and loving.
It was only then that I noticed Jake's wolf was lying down on the sand looking upset until I slowly started to make my way towards him, resulting in him standing up and wagging his tail joyfully.
When I reached him he lay back down so that It was easier for me to pet him and I bent down on my knees beside him.
I reached out a shaking hand and placed it onto his silky fur, unsure if he wanted me to stroke him but his tail continued wagging so I started to stroke his russet fur.
I felt myself relax a little and smiled at my Jake. I loved him unconditionally and if this was what I had to put up with then I was willing to.
I knew that this was extraordinary and unbelievable but right now I didn't want to question, I was content with just kneeling there and stroking my Jakes beautiful soft fur for the time being.
After a while my hand grew weak and I had to stop stroking him. He seemed to understand and stood up. He looked at me once more before heading off into the woods once again but this time I couldn't see him and he seemed to be taking a little bit longer than last time.
I sat there on the sand staring into the woods until he finally emerged. He stopped and stood in front of me and I noticed he was wearing a different pair of jeans to the ones he had last time but that wasn't the point, the point was that my Jake had come back to me and he obviously wasn't sure of how I was going to react to him but before he could say anything, I stood up and threw my arms around his waist, holding him close to me.
I felt his body relax and he pulled me closer to him with one arm while his other free hand started to run its large fingers through my hair.
"Oh Eva," he sighed, "I thought you were going to run away and never want to see me again,".
I shook my head into his chest and held him tighter, "No… never," I whispered.
Without warning he lifted me up and carried me over to a log, bridal style.
He sat down and sat me on his lap, holding me to his chest with one arm and gently stroking my hair with his other hand.
I loved the feel of his body so close to mine and the heat that radiated from it and I wondered if the reason he was always warm or should I say hot, was because he was a wolf? And of course the word 'wolf' raised a lot of questions inside my head.
Firstly, how was it humanly possible for a man to turn into a wolf? Secondly, was Jacob dangerous? And lastly, where there more?
Jacob must have noticed me stiffen a little because he tilted my chin up so I could look him in the eye.
When I made eye contact with him his eyes were warm and full of love but he also looked concerned.
"Eva?," he said questioningly as he searched my eyes for answers, "Is there something wrong?," he asked, his face looking pained.
I knew he must have been feeling like a monster now and afraid that I might run away but I had to assure him that he wasn't a monster to me and that there was no way I would be running away from him, the love of my life.
I reached my hand up and caressed the left side of his face, "No Jake… there's nothing wrong there's just some explaining to be done," I told him and he nodded.
I lifted myself off of his lap and sat beside him on the log so that we would be making eye contact while we spoke instead of my head resting on his chest, staring at his bare skin.
He turned slightly on the log so that he was facing me and took both my small hands in his warm large ones.
"Eva I know that this is… shocking to you and believe me I was shocked myself when it happened the first time and I don't really know how to explain how it happened to us because I don't actually know, I only know why," he told me, his voice low enough so only I could hear.
I noticed he used the term 'us' so that must have meant that he isn't the only one but I somehow guessed who the others would be.
"So there's more of you.. wolves?," I whispered.
He chuckled and squeezed my hands in his, "Eva you don't have to whisper, just talk a little lower than normal in case I don't hear someone coming," he told me, a smile playing on his face.
I felt myself blush and I smiled weakly, "Okay…,".
He smiled and let one of my hands go so that he could cup my burning cheek in his large hand, "You're so cute when you blush," he said as he gazed into my eyes, making my knees weak.
He removed his hand from my face though and took my hand in his once again, "So as to answer your question, yes there is and I assume you already know who they are but I'll tell you anyway, Sam, he's the Alpha and we must obey to anything he says or tells us to do since he was the first to phase. Jared and Paul and lastly our good friend Embry,".
I nodded and remembered what a good friend Embry actually was but was he ever going to talk to me again? And why do they end their friendships with people that aren't wolves?
"So is this why you stopped talking to me and Quil?," I asked.
He sighed and his face looked sad at the mention of Quil, "Yes, that's why. Sam told us not to remain friends with people that aren't the same as us, simply because we could phase at anytime and hurt you unintentionally but I really only think that rule should have applied to Paul and Paul only. Me, Embry and Jared are well able to control ourselves but I suppose Sam is just trying to keep everyone safe," he told me, shaking his head.
"So are you going to make up with Quil?," I asked him. Quil was having a hard time not being friends with Jake and he deserved an apology.
He looked down at our hands and shook his head again, "No,".
I frowned. Why wouldn't he? If Sam said he can't be friends with me and Quil then why was he talking to me now?
"Why Jake? Your talking to me, why can't you talk to Quil?,".
He looked up and his eyes met mine again and this time all four emotions were in them, love, lust, passion and devotion.
He let go of one of my hands once again and started caressing my cheek, never taking his eyes from mine and my blood heated up from his touch. I loved this feeling and I still couldn't believe he loved me the way I loved him.
"Because I imprinted on you Eva," he told me, his voice getting huskier with each word.
He leaned in and kissed my lips lightly and let his lips linger on mine for a moment before slowly pulling away. My lips already missing the contact of his.
Our eyes were still locked on each other and he was taking my breath away with every second but I remembered what he had said just a moment ago and wondered what imprinting meant.
He noticed the questioning look on my face and answered my unspoken question.
"Imprinting is something that happens to us werewolves and it's like love at first sight but stronger, much more stronger. When you see this girl for the first time, it's like nothing in this world matters as much as her and usually she will return the same feelings because the pull between you and your imprint is so strong that you can't be without each other. You need to be close to each other all the time and the love you feel for each other is so strong that the werewolf cannot love any other girl but you, nor can he imprint on another girl because his imprint is 'the one',".
That was the most romantic thing I have ever heard in my whole entire life and I was sure my mouth was hanging open in awe.
I was Jakes imprint? If it were possible for me to fly now then I would with happiness.
I felt tears building up in my eyes and soon they were spilling out onto my cheeks but these tears weren't only for happiness but they were also for sadness because if Jake had never imprinted on me, would he still be trying to win Bella's heart? If so, this love was magic and the only real part of this love was mine.
Jacob pulled me to his chest as I continued to cry and I was sure he had no clue what I was crying over.
He kissed the top of my head, "Eva why are crying? Don't cry love," he told me soothingly.
I had to tell him how I felt though.
I pulled away from him and stared up into his loving eyes, "Jake… I-If you n-never imprinted on me… w-would you never l-love me and s-still be head over h-heels for B-Bella?," I asked him through sobs.
His eyes grew wide and he looked shocked. He held my face in his hands so that I wouldn't look away from him.
"Eva I've always loved you, at first it was brotherly love but after that time at my garage when you told me that I should've let you and Quil ride with me in the Rabbit before Bella, it's like you changed that brotherly love I had for you and turned it into something more intimate, it's like you were showing me how much it hurt you and that you felt deeply about me and that hurt me to know that it hurt you so much and I realized two things in that moment. I realized that Bella didn't feel as deeply as you did about me and I realized that I was in love with you but I hadn't realized it because I was drowning myself in Bella. I didn't even want to go to the Cinema with her and Mike that night but I couldn't bail out on her like that and then of course I phased that night… but I want you to know that I love you Eva, more than you'll ever know and I don't want you to ever doubt our love,".
I was speechless at that moment. He really did love me? So that night when he went to the cinema with Bella and Mike, he didn't really want to go and that he was in love with me that night? This day has definitely been the best day of my life, no doubt about it.
I smiled weakly as he started to kiss my tears away until his lips finally met mine. He was still holding onto both sides of my face and he pulled my face closer to his so that our kisses would be deeper. Our lips moved with each other in ways I had never felt before and when I felt his tongue press against my lips begging for entrance, I granted it. Our tongues entwined together and he tasted so good. I pulled his face closer to mine just because I needed him to be as close as he could get. He nipped at my bottom lip gently and I quiet moan escaped my lips. This must have set him off because he lifted me up, never breaking our kiss and laid me down on the sand.
He hovered over me and held his weight on his hands that were placed on each side of my head as we continued to kiss and I was lost in him. I felt dizzy from the lack of oxygen but it didn't bother me.
I suddenly became aware of a vibration in my pocket and realized it was my mobile.
Jacob seemed to hear it and I guessed that was one of his wolf senses. He pulled away from me out of breath and fell onto his back on the sand beside me.
I giggled at him and he started trailing kisses from my shoulder down to my hand and up again as I reached for my mobile in my pocket.
I assumed it was mom so I answered it.
"Hi mom,"
"It's me Dylan,"
My jaw dropped. Oh my god, not now Dylan! Of all times to call, he calls now and oh no, Jake can hear everything and I'm one hundred percent positive Dylan's going to ask me out again.
I looked at Jake from the corner of my eye and he was looking up at me, having stopped kissing my arm and mouthed, 'who's Dylan'.
"Eva?,"
"Oh Dylan sorry, listen I'm kind of busy right now,"
"Oh okay sure I was just wondering since your mom told me your going to your Grandma's on the weekend, we should you know… go out on another date,"
My breath caught in my throat and my face was burning up. Dylan really did upset the mood because firstly, I had to explain me and Dylan to Jake and I also had to tell Jake I was going away on the weekend and when I turned my head slightly to look at his face, he was standing up and his hands were balled up into fists and he looked so angry. He had that same look he had on his face that night he was going to take me out but I was going on a date with Dylan. If looks could kill and I knew explaining definitely wasn't going to be easy by the look on his face.
A/N: So how will Jake react to all of this and will he be happy about Eva staying away from him for a week or two at her Grandma's? Review to find out.
This chapter was mainly just about Jacob and his whole werewolf thing but I hoped you guys liked it and thanks again for the reviews!
