Jacob missed the pack, he missed the connection of being one with people other than himself. Sure being with Edward was great but it didnt compare to the pack. Even if he wouldnt swap Edward and Abigal for the world it didnt make him miss the them any less, and being back in Forks just reminded him of that fact, now more than ever, with the distant threat of the Volturi on the horizon.
Even though he missed the pack Jacob felt like he was doing okay by himself. Till one awkward evening when he was frolicking in the woods, he ran into them; his old pack.
Jacob whined, staring at his old pack he felt like an outsider with what once used to be his closest family. Seth stepped forward to greet Jacob but Sam stopped him with a hard push to his side and a warning nip. Leah started to protest but with a threatening look and obvious silent communication Sam silenced her too.
"Jacob leave leave this area, this is our land, you are no longer welcome."
"I am doing no harm, I have as much right to be here as you, more so." retaliated Jacob at Sam's blunt command.
Sam growled. Jacob got into a defensive position, predicting Sam's attack. As predicted Sam leapt at Jacob, going for his throat, he was out to kill. The wolf pack stood back as Sam leapt at Jacob, unwilling to take sides in this fight. Just as Sam almost pounced on Jacob, he moved out of the way, dodging Sam's attack and sending him sprawling on the forrest floor. Jacob played as young and inexperienced till he put Sam off guard. Then he really went at it, going on offence he attacked Sam, drawing from his years of experience and training with Rosalie he managed to beat Sam right into the ground, pining him into the damp undergrowth. Dew drops clinging to his seething form Jacob snapped his jaws inches from Sam's throat, holding back at the last minute, a last warning till he completely submitted. Jacob took his rightful place as head of the pack, and alpha, leaving Sam to go skulking off into the woods, humiliated and ashamed at his weakness.

For all outward appearances it seemed the pack took to Jacob's rule well, but examining it closer, the pack was broken, and mistrustful. They didnt fully trust or respect their new alpha, since Jacob's mate was vampire ( and going against the elders ruling). They didn't accept him completely as a pack should their alpha, Jacob had a shaky hold of his pack and it was slipping as time wore on and the more rebellious wolves were starting to challenge his authority within the pack. To get some help, to reinstate his authority, Jacob decided to take a small journey -leaving Abigal with Edward- to turn to one of the more loners of the tribe, an elder who had been disgraced due to his involvment with a vampire a long time ago, a loner who lived out of town, and hardly accoisaited with anybody he didn't have too.

"What do you want?" The old man asked, Jacob was silent "Speak up, what are you doing here? It's been along time since someone from the tribe has has visited me out here. You must have a bloody good reason to visit someone as disgraced as me." The old man lived in a small rusted shack, a resemblant of a cave, located on a cliff edge over looking the ocean. The old man's appearance surprised Jacob somewhat, He was clean shaven and had wild long silvery hair. He was dressed in sensible but clean clothes, worn out by general wear, but still looked after. He had the rugged look of someone who had seen too much, experinced lots of hardship and was just tired of life. Jacob felt he could relate, and that scared him. Though Jacob hadn't given up on life completly just yet, as this man had seemed too, repelling all of human kind, by his distant location and sour attitude. Overall this man was worn down by obvious hard trials in his life, that to Jacob seemed too rude to ask about.
" I was wondering if you could help me?" He simply asked.
"Spit it out then, don't go wasting my time." The man rudely replied.
"I've been told you could help me. That you know about this kind of thing."
"Come on then, dont leave me waiting all day. I'm old you know. My time can't be wasted waiting for pups like you to get their words out."
Jacob scrowled at his sour attitude, he thought about leaving, to just let this man stew in his misery, but he knew he couldnt leave without getting at least some form of answers to help him be a better alpha"My mate, my imprint, he's is a vampire, and the elders disapprove. It is causing conflict within my pact. They can't fully accept me as alpha yet, with my mate being who he is. I heard that your pack still stayed loyal to you when you took a female vampire as a mate. How was that?"
"That was a long time ago, things were different back then, she lured me in with her prowess and ethereal beauty, of course I was a fool for a looker back then, love any girl who paid me a smidgeon of attention and when this beauty rolled into town, it was love at first sight. A fleeting affair that caused a lot of turmoil to me. Though it caused a lot of trouble for me when we first met, the elders couldn't say anything after we got married, with the law and all; and if the elders couldnt say anything my pack couldn't either. Though maybe if I listened she wouldnt have broke my heart and stole me money. Leaving me all alone, the law void, and I was banished."
"Wait. law? What law?" Jacob questioned.
" It's an ancient law, silly really, based on out dated ideals and practices, though I'm sure glad for it, otherwise I wouldn't be here would I?"
"Spit it out!" said Jacob growing impatient.
"All right you insolent boy, give me a chance, young ones so impatient. Where was I? Yes here, wait a moment, it'll make more sense if just I show you." he said going to the back of his cave and pulling out a book, and brushing dust off it. He then set it on the table in front of Jacob, opening it to a specific bookmarked page. "My grandfather gave this to me when he saw what I done. Best choice he ever did, saved my hide a lot of the time, would probaly be dead without it."
"The documented law of the Quileute tribe" read Jacob
"Yes" said the old man "My grandfather dedicated his whole life to this, documenting every single law since the dawn of time that has ever existed for the Quileute tribes. Now here, this is what we are looking for." said the old man pointing to the page "If a member of the Quileute tribe has broken the law and has taken a vampire as a mate, that law can be bypassed on two conditions:
1) The vampire has given up its demon ways of feasting on innocents, has abstained from blood drinking of any kind; except animal kind; And the Vampire mate abides by all the staten laws of the pack, submitting to their alphas law, and defending the pack if called to do so, in turn the pack will be obliged defend them in turn.
2) The Quilatine member and vampire's love can be proven in a justifiable way, that they are truly committed, with a fastening of hands. Then their union is indisputable and the vampire mate may become a honouree member of the pack, and said vampire is required to be fully accepted into the Quileute community, and may produce offspring together if desired."
"What does that mean?" said Jacob confused.
"It means you must get married my boy." Said the old man.
"Married" said Jacob vehemently "I must marry Edward."
