"Jacob, the counsel has come to a decision. Even though you imprinted on Edward, you are to no longer see him, all future contact will be ceased."
Jacob's stomach dropped "What!" He stammered out "That goes against all our laws and customs splitting two imprints apart."
"Normally, yes. But this is no normal imprint you're intended is a vampire and a danger to us all."
"Edward would never harm the pack."
"We can't be sure, he is a vampire and our natural born enemy."
"But" Jacob said unable to put into words what Edward meant to him, and how Edward would sooner hurt himself than Jacob, or anyone Jacob loved . Sam just didn't understand.
"Jacob as your alpha you must listen to my command and I command you to stop seeing Edward."
"No." Jacob said. It seemed Jacob wasn't going to take the easy way, so Sam changed into his wolf form, willing Jacob to do the same, to make it impossible to refuse his will.
Sam commanded again making Jacob strain under the weight of the command. Jacob was bowing down, nose almost to the undergrowth of the forrest smelling the dank smell of rot. Eventually ever so slowly he began to rise, thinking "No!" all the while impossing his will into that one word. Sam was shocked Jacob couldn't resist him unless... He had decided to embrace his natural heritage. This was a fragile situation and if Sam made the wrong decision he could risk loosing everything. Sam decided the only option that was avaliable to him was eliminating the threat all together. He snarled and jumped going for Jacob's throat, attempting to kill him by snapping his neck or ripping out his throat, whichever option was easier to kill Jacob with his massive jaw's and sharp gleaming teeth. Sam almost had his jaws clamped around Jacobs neck, as he was the bigger wolf and more experienced. But with luck and a carefully aimed kick Jacob fended him off breaking a few of Sam's ribs and winding him in the process. Whilst Sam was winded Jacob quickly retreated, limping back to the field.
"Back so soon?" Edward smiled. His demeanour suddenly changing noticing Jacob was hurt. Edward couldn't get a lock on Jacob's thoughts though, they were scrambled, laced with pain, fury, hurt and confusion, but one clear thought ran out that Edward could got a lock on, "Run!" Jacob thought yelled "He's going to kill us both!"
All the while Jacob never stopped running, delivering the message and running pass Edward. Edward got into gear beside Jacob, until they reached the safety of the border, vampire and wolf side by side.
"Stop." Edward told Jacob, his thoughts still running a mile a minute hurting Edwards head.
"Jacob! Stop and tell me what happened." Jacob was pacing and started barking, then realising Edward couldn't understand him he changed to human form, not even stoping his pacing in the process.
"How could they do this to me? To us? This is illegal, going against everything I was taught, everything we believe in."
Edward noticed Jacob was clutching his side, bruises were forming and blood was running down his side, from the gapping tear running along the side of his ribcage.
"Jacob, I don't know what your talking about. Stop and explain. Let me tend to your injuries." Jacob stopped his pacing, clenching his fists and rushing over his words, now noticing he was injured, but not seeming to care, having to get his anger out before he lost it and went wolf again.
"They've forbidden us to be together. They think you're a danger to the pack, they never want me to see you again."
"I see." said Edward getting sad thinking this was a final goodbye.
"But of course I practically told them to go screw themselves, disobeying Sam. You should have seen the look on his face when I refused to give you up. I'm not going to let them keep us apart."
Edward brightened realising Jacob wasn't leaving him, "Let me look at your injuries" said Edward "I'm no Carlisle, but he taught me a few things to get by", Edward took off his shirt ripped it in to strips,tying it around Jacob's wound trying to construct a makeshift bandage to stop the flow of blood, until Jacob would naturally heal. Now Jacob was calmed down and Edward could get an accurate lock on his thoughts. What he saw almost made him bow over in awe, Jacob adored him so much more than he thought was possible. Jacob had truly meant it body and soul when he said nothing was going to keep them apart.
"Jacob?"
"What!" said Jacob who had picked up a stick and was furiously digging a hole in the dirt, taking his anger out on the stiff dirt.
Edward took the stick away from Jacob, making Jacob annoyed when he tossed it away, but to make up for it Edward brang their lips together, slowly making out with Jacob to not agrivate his wounds too much. They broke apart, Jacob having to pause as he was starting to notice his wound more and more as time wore on, and it was becoming unbearably painful as the healing process was slowly taking effect.
"I'm going to make Sam pay for doing this to you!" Edward threatened.
"I know," said Jacob leaning in to give Edward another slow kiss giving small butterfly kisses along his jaw. "But please just leave it."
"Why?" Questioned Edward confused, "I thought you were angry at him, and wanted payback."
"I am. I do, but not like that. It would both turn us into people neither of us want to be. It would turn us into monsters, we have to be better than them. We must never give into that darker side of ourself, loose ourselves to the inner monster."
"Your right, of course. I just cant bear it see you hurt, it makes me so mad at them. Sam would attack one of his own, just because you love me. You do love me right?" said Edward growing unsure for a moment, realising what he just said.
Jacob kissed him hard 'You bet I do"
Edward's head was spinning from the kiss and Jacob's declaration.
"I love you too, you know" said Edward after he realised no one had said anything for a while.
"I know." said Jacob.
"Good, just making sure you know how I feel about you too."
"I do." said Jacob kissing Edward again before he could gain any form of composure, they stopped kissing a moment to stare into his others eyes because Jacobs side was flaring up from all the activity, and he needed a moment to recover.
"Now come on, we need to get someone to look at you before your wounds open up again and you bleed out." said Edward getting up from the floor before they gave in and just started making out again, helping Jacob up in the process "You can stay at my house." proposed Edward never actually letting go of Jacob's hand, squeezing Jacob's hand gently, he lead the way.
"Won't your family disapprove of me staying there?" Asked Jacob worried.
"Paraphrasing you, they can go screw themselves. You are my family as well now and everyone else comes second to you. If they cant accept that, well we will just have to leave Forks and go somewhere warm."
"But not too sunny."
"Right, somewhere far away, we can live in a cabin and you can be my personal lumberjack choppping wood shirtless all day and as a reward we can have we can have filthy hot sex all night long." said Edward getting close to Jacob.
"I like the sound of that," said Jacob ready to jump Edward right there "But I think maybe you will be chopping the wood."
"What about the sex?"
"Oh there will be a lot of sex. I will just will not be chopping the wood."
"Maybe we should just leave the wood chopping out and have sex all the time instead."
"Best idea you've ever had."
"Edward! your back." said Esme walking out of the house, causing them to stop in their flirting, trying to of think less graphic thoughts to calm themselves down.
"I've been so worried." fretted Esme.
"I see you've brought wolf boy." said Alice walking out behind Esme, referencing them shirtless and there clasped hands "Fuck any new dogs lately mutt, or are you just strictly into Vampire now. Meaning my brother."
"Bit tense there Vamp girl. Poor thing, have you killed away all the boys who are stupid or ugly enough to fuck you." said Jacob, a slight growl to his tone retorting back.
"You hold your tongue or I might have to rip it out, along with your manhood it seems. But I see my brother has already taken that, you are a mutt, so we can conclude you are the bitch in the relationship."
"Alice dear, calm down, you are offending Edward." said Jasper noticing Edward tensing up, clutching Jacob's hand so hard Jacob had a pained look on his face, Edward was getting ready to spring at someone.
"Ow," thought Jacob "Not so hard Tiger."
"Sorry," whispered Edward loosening his hold "I didn't break anything did I?"
"Im fine," thought Jacob "Maybe just try to calm down okay, don't take it to heart, Alice is just very upset. I found counting to ten helps, if that doesn't work try picturing me naked." thought Jacob, sending dirty thoughts Edwards way.
"Not helping." whispered Edward.
"I wasn't trying too." thought Jacob.
"I swear you are the biggest tease I've ever met." whispered Edward frustrated he couldn't just get it on with Jacob there.
"Just you wait." thought Jacob suggestively.
A bang sounded interrupting there flirtations.
"What is going on over there?" said Jacob motioning to the Cullen's fighting they had blocked out. Jacob's distraction had worked a little too well, causing them to get wrapped up in a world of there own making, ignoring everyone else. Edward looked over, and Jasper was holding Alice back, whilst Emmet was standing between Rosalie and Esme and Carlisle. They were all ready to rip each others throats out, Emmet being the only neutral mediator, Jasper having his hands full, holding Alice back.
"Help me." thought Emmet at Edward.
"Y'all listen up." said Jacob when he noticed Edward was becoming more upset by the minute. Everyone froze in their argument and struggling, listening to Jacobs authoritative tone, unable to help themselves.
"Edward here is... Well...Edward here adores me very much, in fact he outright loves me. I'm the love of his life. You could say are made for each other. Even we were fated to be together." Edward shot him a look that silently told him he was going too far "My point is, you better accept that Edward loves me, not Bella; because I love him back, and I'm not going anywhere. If you somehow can't accept that, thats fine. Well actually it's not fine. But either way, be assholes and keep arguing about this and me and Edward are leaving, and we wont be coming back to join your messed up family, coven or whatever this is."
Edward could tell Jasper was helping, using his powers to sway the mood in the room. But either way his future depended on his families reaction to Jacobs small speech. If he was staying or leaving Forks.
