I'm sorry for not updating in a while guys! Hopefully it won't take so long to do so next time.

On to the story!

Chapter 9

Jacob gasped at the request from Nessie. How could he ask something like that from her so casually? Her inner wolf hurt from thinking about disobeying her imprint but, she couldn't just give up being a wolf so easily.

"I…..I'm going for a walk." Jacob stuttered, and then hurriedly started retreating for the front door.

"Jacob wait." Nessie grabbed Jacob's wrist, just when she had her hand on the doorknob.

Jacob released her wrist from Nessie's soft grip. She looked into Nessie's eyes. His light brown eyes were burning with passion, a need of love and comfort. "You'll be back, …right?"

"I can't stay away Ness."

Nessie leaned down to kiss Jacob softly. They stayed that way for 3 seconds and parted. Nessie took Jacob's hand; he ran his thumb over her knuckles. He whispered into Jacob's ear softly, "I love you." Causing shivers to run down her back.

"I love you too Nessie." Jacob said directly into Nessie's eyes. Nessie let go of her hand and watched her leave out the door.

Once she left, Edward was the first to speak, "Nessie don't you think that was a lot to ask of her?"

"Yes dad, I know. It's very selfish of me to ask something like that of her. But Dad, I need her; I know you understand that feeling of needing your soul mate."

"We do." Edward agreed "We all do."

"If you were in my situation with mom, what would you do?"

Edward didn't answer for a moment, and then said "I wouldn't have forced your mom. But I would've found a way to save your Mom's life. "

Seth

Listening to Jacob tell about her life changing decision was heartbreaking.

It was hard decision to make, choosing between living a long life with your soul mate or keeping what's left of your inner wolf, while your imprint suffers by watching you die. Jacob face was stained with dried tears, that had fell all while she telling her story. It made my chest hurt to see her in so much pain.

"Seth, what should I do? I mean I'm practically trapped in a corner. If I picked one, I lose the other. I don't want to lose my wolf gene or Nessie."

"Jake… I don't know what to tell you. I'm sorry Jake; I really wish I could help here."

Seth went to hug Jake, wrapping his arms around her middle. Jake was still a little taller than Seth even as a woman, only by a little though. She buried her tear-filled face into his neck.

"I have a question though, Jake."

"…Yea, Seth?"

"I- If you …had to just choose one, right now, which one…...would it be?" Seth asked hesitantly.

'Nessie,' Jacob thought and even though she never answered aloud, Seth already knew the answer.

Two Hours Later

A knock was heard over the Cullen household; everyone already knew who it was from the earthy scent. Nessie quickly opened the door for Jake, who stepped inside feeling kind of nervous.

"I've made my decision,…..I've decided to let..you...turn me."Jake said knees buckling. This didn't go unnoticed by Nessie.

"Thank you!" Nessie smiled brightly, eagerly kissing Jacob's sensitive neck multiple times, sucking on one spot leaving a mark of possessiveness. Jacob whimpered softly, and instantly relaxed.

"You don't know how much this means to me! You won't regret it! You'll see!"

Nessie exclaimed to Jake, wrapping his arms around her and, kissing her forehead gently.

'I hope you're right Ness' Jake thought to herself.
