I tried to move away. He stretched his hand to grab mine to stop me from moving away. I closed my eyes and waited for the inevitable.
The next thing I saw was a blast of white light and Jacob in his wolf form on the ground shaking violently just the same way the men in Port Angeles did. The only difference this time was that it was a giant wolf instead of a human. He was huge with reddish brown fur.
I had never seen a wolf in real life before. All my knowledge was only from discovery channel but I was sure that he was much bigger than a normal wolf.
I was not sure which was more strange- a huge wolf in my kitchen or to witness a teenage boy shifting into a furry animal.
After a few minutes the shaking stopped and the wolf opened his eyes and looked at me. I did not know what to do so I just stood there.
His eyes looked sad as if he had lost a battle before it had begun. On his face I saw the vulnerability of a lost boy than the confidence of a giant wolf. He was pushed into this life not by choice but by destiny, if anything like that existed.
"Is everything alright in there?" Charlie asked from the living room.
"Everything is fine dad." I replied praying that he doesn't come into the kitchen.
Jacob stood up and turned towards the back door as if asking me to open it. I walked to the door and opened it. I watched him run out of the house and disappear into the thick forest. I should have been scared to death but I was not. The bubble made me feel lot braver than what I normally was.
"That went well." Edward said to me through his thoughts.
I saw Emmett and Alice laughing through Edward's mind.
"What is so funny" I asked.
"Nothing love. They are being childish. They just enjoyed the fact that my human girlfriend threw a big bad wolf across the room." He said.
From his thoughts I knew that he was laughing along with them. Alice's thoughts showed that Edward never laughed or even smiled this much before he met me. I was glad that I brought such good changes in him.
I continued with preparing dinner the whole while talking to Edward as if nothing had happened. I knew that the bubble was bringing the carefree and confident attitude in me.
After a few minutes I heard a knock on the back door. I opened it to find Jacob standing outside dressed in a grey t shirt and jeans. He must have gone home and got the clothes as the ones he was wearing were ripped to shreds when he changed into his wolf form.
"Bella, I ..." he started talking but I stopped him.
"Jacob if you value my sanity please don't talk about anything that happened here." I was not ready for anymore drama. I was tired and irritated. I just wanted to be with Edward. I wanted to hold him close to me and forget about everything.
"Soon love." Edward said to me through his thoughts.
I had forgotten that he could hear my thoughts for a second.
"I miss you Edward."
"I miss you too."
"Bella! Bella!" I blinked my eyes and looked at Jacob who was calling my name.
"Bella please let me explain." He said
"No Jacob, I don't want to hear anything. Please leave me alone."
He looked sad but I was not in a mood for having a conversation with him about supernatural stuff with my dad sitting in the next room. I was glad that Charlie didn't know what happened in his kitchen a few minutes ago.
Jacob kept looking at me through out the dinner but I did not acknowledge it. I was happy that Edward was getting close. With his each step the pain in my heart was lessening.
Jacob tried to talk to me many times but I was not interested. I excused myself by telling them that I was going to do the dishes.
"You can't avoid me forever." Jacob said entering the kitchen.
I chose to remain silent.
"Don't you want to know about what happened earlier?"
"I know what happened earlier. You are a werewolf, end of story."
He stared at me with an unreadable expression.
"Bella, I know you are scared but I won't hurt you."
"I am not scared of you besides I can take care of myself."
"Bella, don't be like this. I never intended to phase here. It just happened. You can't be mad at me for something I can't control."
"Jacob, I am not mad at you. I am just tired. It was a long day for me and I just want to go to bed."
"So you are ok with the fact that I am a werewolf?"
"Jacob, it doesn't matter what I feel about you. It's not like I am your best friend or something that you have to feel guilty about not telling me and there is the fact that you can't say anything about this without the Alpha's permission."
Suddenly his expression changed.
"How did you know that?"
I didn't know how to respond to his question. I had not intended to say anything about the Alpha. It came out accidentally.
"Tell me Bella. How did you know about that?" he asked again.
"Jacob, there are things that you don't know about me and I have no intention of sharing them with you." I said and walked out of the kitchen before he could respond.
"Bella, where is Jacob? It's time for us to go." Billy asked me.
"I am here dad." Jacob said walking towards us. He was looking at me intently.
They left soon. The bubble disappeared after few seconds cutting the communication between me and Edward.
"Bella, is everything alright with you and Jacob?" Charlie asked me.
"Yeah dad. Why do you ask?"
"Nothing. Just wanted to be sure."
I said goodnight to Charlie and went to my room to find Edward waiting for me.
I kissed him hard even before he opened his mouth to greet me.
"I missed you so much. Next time I am coming with you." I said.
"I missed you too. I am sure I would have gone completely insane if I had to spend any more time away from you."
I wanted to talk to him about everything that happened that day but I was tired and could barely keep my eyes open.
"Sleep my Bella." He said pulling me close to his chest.
Soon I was in deep sleep filled with dreams of my beautiful vampire.
A couple of days passed without any problems. I was happy that nothing that triggered the formation of the bubble happened.
Edward wanted to take me to his house or meadow after school but I just wanted to stay at home where I could enjoy some alone time with Edward. We did not do much. Just laid in each other's arms and talked about everything and anything.
One night while we were lying in each other's arms, I felt the presence of the bubble enveloping us. I felt Edward stiffen.
"Wolves." He said getting up from the bed.
"What?"
"The wolves are here. Four of them. Jacob wanted to talk to you about the other day. He had discussed it with the elders and the Alpha and decided to tell you about us since you already knew about them."
"Couldn't he wait until morning?" I asked.
"He was going to. Tonight he came to just check on you. He caught my sent as he came near your house and wants to know why my scent is so strong towards your house."
"What are we going to do?"
"Don't worry love he won't do anything irrational with Charlie in the house."
"I am not worried. This bubble makes me feel strong" I told him sincerely.
I heard Jacob's thoughts through Edward's mind. He was thinking of returning in the morning to confront me.
The bubble disappeared after a few minutes.
"They left but will be back tomorrow to talk to you."
That night I could not sleep. Edward hummed my lullaby when he realized that I was nervous about what was going to happen the next day. Soon I drifted into a comfortable sleep.
Next day Charlie left in the morning to go fishing with Billy since it was Sunday. I was happy that we had the entire house to ourselves.
Edward made me a huge breakfast which I ate happily. We decided to spend the entire day cuddling. I was about to pull Edward up the stairs when I felt the presence of the bubble. Since we were together we were both enveloped in one big bubble.
"They are here love."
He didn't need to explain who they were. But I was not afraid. I felt powerful and confident because of the bubble.
"Come on, let's get this over with." I said pulling Edward towards the door.
His thoughts showed the same sense of power and confidence as mine. This time intensity of it was so much higher than normal that we felt like we could control the world with a snap of our fingers.
I opened the door to find Jacob's Rabbit pulling in front of my house. He had three other pack members with him.
I knew their thoughts through Edward's mind. They were angry to find Edward with me. They just wanted to kill him and show the Cullens what they were capable of.
As soon as the thought hit me I found myself shaking with anger. The energy in the bubble was rapidly increasing with my anger. It felt like flames were going to shoot out of the bubble.
Edward knew my thoughts. He came closer and pulled me into his arms. I held him tightly and inhaled his sweet scent calming myself. I opened my eyes and looked into his golden eyes and all the remaining anger evaporated. I turned towards Jacob and his friends to find them glaring at us.
"Hey Jake!" I said in the same way as I normally did even though I wanted to throw him across the forest for thinking of harming my Edward.
"Get away from her." Jacob said marching towards us with his friends closely behind.
Edward stepped forward and pushed me behind him.
"What do you want dog?" he asked.
"I want you stay away from her, you bloodsucker!"
"Jacob you have no right to talk to him this way. He is where he is meant to be." I said coming forward to stand beside Edward ignoring his protest.
"Bella you don't understand. He is not human. He is a monster" Jacob shouted at me.
"I know what he is. I know him more than I know myself. It is none of your business who I spent my time with." I said glaring at him.
"I am member of the pack who are born to protect humans from vampires. It is my responsibility to protect you from them."
Edward was about to say something but I stopped him.
"Let me handle this." I thought to him. He looked reluctant but nodded when I insisted.
"Jacob I don't belong to your tribe. I am not required to live by the rules set by you or your tribe. I can do whatever I want besides there is nothing in the treaty that prohibits the Cullens from having a relationship with humans." I said with authority.
"Jacob it is better if you leave. We can arrange a meeting with the tribe to discuss the situation." Edward said.
"There is nothing to discuss. You blood sucking leech, stay away from her or I will make you regret the day you were born." Jacob snarled.
The anger that left my body earlier returned in ten fold. Nobody threatens or insults my Edward.
From Jacob's thoughts I knew that this was more about his feelings towards me than responsibility. He was in love with me. I felt Edward pull me closer towards him when he heard Jacobs's thoughts.
"Jacob please leave. Bella is my mate. She was born for me. Nothing you say or do can break our bond." He said.
Jacob looked livid.
"Shut up leech! There won't be any bond left after I rip you into pieces and burn them."
The anger inside me reached its threshold. I knew they were young and overconfident. They thought that they could take care of a dozen of vampires by themselves. But they didn't know the power that fills a vampire when their mates are in danger.
"Shut that stupid mouth of yours or you won't be going home in the same shape that you came." I snarled.
"What? Is your blood sucking leech going to hurt us?" his friend Paul said laughing along with others.
"He won't but I will." I said lifting my hands up and sending a blast of energy towards him.
Everything swayed as the energy rushed to its target. It threw Paul into the air slamming him into a tree a few feet away from us before he could even change.
Jacob and his friends stared at me with their mouths hanging wide open.
"You might want to take a look at him to see if anything is broken." I said with a satisfied smile.
Edward pulled me towards him and kissed my forehead. His thoughts showed pride and love. I was happy that I was powerful enough to protect my Edward even though he was capable enough to protect himself. I was happy that I could defend my mate even if I was a human and not be just an accessory in the back ground.
Jacob blinked a few times and rushed to his friend. It seemed that Paul had several broken bones from hitting the tree with such great force.
"We will arrange a meeting with your tribe. Take him to the hospital. I think there are more broken bones than you think." Edward said.
"This isn't over." Jacob said climbing into his Rabbit after he and his friends carefully placed Paul inside it.
I let out a sigh when the rabbit disappeared down the road making the bubble disappear along with it.
"Another day in the interesting lives of a vampire and his beloved super powered girlfriend." Edward said leaning towards me and kissing me on my forehead.
I laughed and pulled him into the house.
