A/N: You guys are amazing. :) I got six reviews last chapter and it took all of my ability not to jump up and down on my bed. ^^

I'd like to thank all of those who reviewed which includes: shelbron, PerfectTwo, Hopeless Divine, CasperGirl523, Lucyana12, and ocmk. You guys are awesome. :D

I would also like to thank everyone who's alerted and added this story to their favorites. :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. If I did I would personally claim Jacob Black for myself.

I smiled back probably looking like a fool. Seth's smile was so contagious and pure. I instantly knew he was probably one of the most sincere people I knew, or would soon know. I caught onto people's characters right away, intuition I guess, and I was usually right.

"Well Seth, you must be the famous valet. If you'd like to park my car over there…" I trailed off pointing to a couple feet away. He boomed out a laugh.

"Hand over the keys and I'll be happy to take the car off your hands." He chuckled lightly and leaned back to survey my car. "Looks like it could use a paint job."

"Hey!" I lightly scolded poking him in the stomach as I got out of my car closing the door. "This thing's probably older than you, show some respect. What are you? Fifteen?" I was just joking around, the whole time a smirk was plastered on my face.

I was shocked when he laughed even harder. "Yeah, I actually am."

My mouth dropped. No way! The kid looked like he was twenty or something. I groaned inwardly. It must be the wolf thing. It was then I realized I had to look up to see him. He was taller than me, which didn't happen to often since I was five foot eleven. I hated being so tall but if all the other wolf boys were like Seth and Sam, I guess I wouldn't be disliking it too much.

"HEY SETH!" The other boy who had been dragging the shaking wolf out of the house jogged up to us. He smiled at me too. "You need to stop hogging the new girl. Everyone wants to see her just as bad."

I chuckled lightly and shook my head. "Jay," I said introducing myself.

"Embry." He replied. "I think we should go into the house," he added after a howl admitted from the woods. I followed his eyes to the tree line but didn't see anything.

"Who was that?" I asked. Seth and Embry looked at me and then each other before Embry answered.

"That was Jacob. He's been a pain in the ass lately so I guess it's a good thing you don't have to meet him tonight."

"Embry! You know it's not his fault," Seth threw out. I could tell he was thinking the same thing as Embry but I had already got the impression Seth was a good guy and saw the best in everyone.

I wondered how sincere that was.

Embry opened his mouth to say something else but I didn't feel like sticking around to hear anything about this Jacob character. Part of me begged to not interrupt them, to figure out as much as this Jacob as I could. But I mentally kicked myself. Come on Jay, you lock eyes with a wolf for no more than thirty seconds and are going crazy.

I told the voice in my head to shove it. I looked at the two men, and realized for the first time just how buff Embry was. He was about an inch taller than Seth but I could see that his face was slightly more refined then Seth, he had to be older.

Sam came out on the porch. "Ay! You guys coming in or not?" I looked up at him and he grinned at me, and I let a small smile play on my lips.

"Excuse me boys but from what Sam told me over the phone, I have some more boys to meet." I pushed past them and towards the house. I heard the three of the chuckle and heard Embry and Seth follow behind me. Before I entered the little cottage I threw one last look over to the woods, just to see that Jacob wasn't there. Just like whatever I felt when he looked at me.

Jacob's POV

I ran.

I pushed my legs as hard as I could, feeling nothing except the crunching of leaves and twigs that littered the forest floor. I refused to think of what happened at Sam's when Paul accidently brought up the Cullens.

No, I would not think of that.

It wasn't long before I collapsed. I had been running so much lately I couldn't run any farther.

I didn't even know what I was chasing anymore.

I shook my head and looked down at my paws. I could feel another presence in my head, but I didn't dare reach out to find out who it was. Whoever it was though was being smart enough to leave me alone.

My mind traveled back to the girl in the car. When I saw her for those brief moments, I knew something happened.

My world dropped away from me. I finally felt connected to the earth. There was a chain connecting me to her, connecting me to reality. I lived for her, I needed her to breathe.

I imprinted on her.

And I ran away.

I was not going to be having an imprint; especially an imprint that was Sam's new sister. Yup, the whole two packs thing is hard enough, let alone that I've been gone the past three months but that's beside the point. Sam would not be happy.

I stuffed my nose against the ground, breathing in the earth scents that smelled like home. When I left again, I let the pure wolf over take me. I never once phased back into my human form and didn't do anything except run, eat, and sleep. I didn't think about what that thing did to Bella.

I inwardly cringed, even thinking her name was still hard even though it's gotten considerably easier.

I sniffed the ground again. I wonder what Jaelyn would smell like?

Shut up Jake! I yelled at myself. It wasn't fair, it wasn't fair that I would imprint on someone after I came back. Yeah, I just had to go through hell before I got to have one.

I whined and thought about what the pack told me they knew about Jaelyn. Quill said she told Sam she lived on the streets with her father. They all scanned his memory of when he told her. She didn't go into detail, there had to be more.

I felt anger rush through my veins. An anger that was different than I've ever experienced. It was mixed with sadness.

No one that perfect should ever have to go through that.

I got up and started pacing in a circle. I had made up my mind. As much as I knew it would hurt me to be away from her, I was going to stay away from Jaelyn. I would be nothing but a friend towards her. In my state I was no way the desirable imprint. I hurt everything and everyone I cared about.

I would not hurt her.

Jay's POV

I walked into Sam and Emily's house and if it wasn't for my self-control, my jaw would've hit the floor. There were six other guys in the house, all super tall and jacked. I scanned over them quickly and could see the age range, even if I didn't exactly know what that was. There were two boys who seemed shorter than the rest, only as tall as me and were lankier but still.

I mean, was it some unsaid wolf rule that every wolf boy had to be gorgeous? They all turned and looked at me, great. I was sure to do something stupid.

Thank god for Emily, always being happy as she is she came over and pulled me into a tight hug. "Jay! I'm so glad you got to come today! Sam's been talking about you all the time and…"

I heard Sam clear his throat loudly and heard a couple snickers come from behind us. I grinned hugely over Emily's shoulder and awkwardly hugged her back. I didn't like hugs; it meant being close to people and I liked my personal space.

What seemed like ages later, she finally let go of me. "I gotta go check on the chicken! I hope you like chicken, don't worry. I'll make our plates first before everyone else gets to it." I saw her roll her eyes and walk back to the kitchen.

I laughed and turned to face everyone else. Sam stood next to me and leaned down in my ear to whisper something although I'm sure all the other wolf boys would be able to hear about it. "Just so you know Emily likes to over exaggerate things and I don't talk about you all the time."

I heard more chuckles and looked at Sam and could see he had a playful loving smirk on his face. Yuck. Maybe with all these other people here I wouldn't be forced to witness their love fest the whole time.

Embry swung an arm around me, still chuckling. "Don't let Sam fool you Jay. He really is a ball of emotions."

I heard Sam growl lightly and Embry flashed him a smile.

"Jay, this is Paul, Jared and his im…girlfriend Kim, Quill, Collin, and Brady. Looks like you've already met these two idiots so they don't need introducing."

Embry put a hand over his heart, "Ouch. That hurt Sam."

I shook my head laughing and stepped away from his arm. I kind of just stood there, everyone looking at me and I stared back.

"Hi," I waved. Great. Back to the one word sentences are we? I heard someone laugh at me and I narrowed my eyes at them. I recognized him as Paul when Sam pointed him out.

He challenged me back with his eyes. I lifted an eyebrow at him and he laughed harder. "Don't take me the wrong way but I was expecting someone who could talk."

I felt everyone's eyes travel from me to Paul. "Don't take me the wrong way but I was expecting someone who was….well…" I let my eyes rake him up and down, not exactly sure what to say. "Well impressive really. Do you know about everyone else here? Or have they not informed you on the whole pack thing?"

Yeah, cheap blow but it was all I had.

I watched his face carefully as he leaned against the wall and looked at me. His face cracked in a grin and I mentally sighed in relief before I flashed one back. It was silent until Paul gave his "approval" and everyone laughed.

He walked over and rubbed my head. "I like you, I guess you'll do."

I just smacked his hand away and he laughed again. I went over and plopped on the couch. I sat next to Jared and his girlfriend who was sitting on his lap and who had to be Quill.

Kim laughed and scooted off Jared's lap so she was squished between Jared and I. "It seems you passed Paul's test."

I smirked. "Did he do that to you too?"

She smiled and looked at Jared lovingly. Ugh, I was surrounded by these love infested people. "Yeah but when he did Jared just growled at him until he backed off." I saw Jared grin hugely and nuzzle her neck. Lame.

It was a minute before she perked back up. "Anyways, I heard you got a job at the café in Forks?"

"Yeah! How'd you know about that? I just got it about an hour ago." Was this place really that small?
"Oh, haha. I work there and Oliver texted me about some girl named Jay who took his job. Personally, I want to thank you. He was a creeper."

"The unibrow guy?" Quill snuck in. "My eyebrows may be hard to be compared to but I mean his are just atrocious." I looked over at Quill just in time to see him running a finger over each brow. I laughed so hard at the sheer ridiculousness. He smirked and raised them at me. "It's okay to be jealous of them Jay, a lot of people are."

A pillow flew across the room at him and hit him in the face. Kim and I burst out laughing as Quill looked around the room until he found Embry laughing across the room. He jumped up and tackled him to the floor and the other guys laughed.

I turned to Kim and shook my head still laughing. "Is it always like this here?"

She nodded. "Yeah, you learn to get used to it."

I watched the oversized boys growl at each other as they wrestled. This was so much different than all the foster homes I bounced around in. So much different than constantly having to watch my backs while I roamed the streets.

And I didn't mind one bit.

A/N: So we got to hear a bit from Jacob. :) The next chapter will definitely have some Jacob and Jay time. I wonder if Jacob will be able to keep up with what he said about leaving her alone. ^^

Any comments or suggestions? Love it or hate it? Let me know. :) The reviews help me update faster and make me ridiculously happy. :D
