I own nothing. Enjoy!

The gift didn't last. As soon as Bella awoke in the morning, she knew that everything was back to normal. Well, not exactly normal, but her eyes were back to the way they had been. It was only a brief gift from the spirits to tell her that they approved of their mating. She opened them anyway and was rewarded with nothing but darkness. Her eyes may not work, but her other senses did. And with them she could feel Jacob's warm skin against her back, his arms wrapped tightly around her waist and stroking unconsciously a path on her stomach. She could hear his soft snores and deep breathing that signaled he was still asleep. She could smell him, his woodsy scent that was all Jacob, and she could smell the bonding on the wolf. She suspected that this scent would never go away, not that she minded.

Although all her senses were full of Jacob, her body was telling her it was time to get up. Nature was calling, and she had to pee. She gently untangled herself from his arms and slipped out of bed. She tiptoed to the bathroom, not wanting to wake him. Feeling relieved she walked back into the bedroom and just stood in the doorway, listening. His breathing was still deep. She didn't want to wake him, and decided to make breakfast instead. He was always hungry. And the pack sometimes came by for breakfast, whoever was out running patrols around her house at the time. She was sure this morning would be no different. She got out everything needed to make French toast, and a lot of it.

She had gotten through almost half the loaf of bread cooked when she felt warm hand wrap around her waist. She didn't even jump. Jacob placed his face in the crook of her neck.

"I do not enjoy waking up without you in my bed."

"Our bed," she corrected. "And I'm making breakfast, trying to stench your hunger. Plus I figured the boys outside on watch would be hungry. Actually I'm surprised they haven't already barged through the door. "

Jacob growled softly into her neck. "The only hunger I need you to stench is my hunger for you. And no one is coming inside this morning. They know to all stay out until otherwise instructed."

Bella wheeled on him. "What? Why would they do that?"

Jacob hesitated. "They uh… they might know"

Her voice was hard. "Know what?"

Jacob took a deep breath. "That their Alpha has claimed his mate."

Bella groaned and covered her face with her hands.

Jacob softly removed her hands, her wrists in his hands. "Its okay."

Bella turned her face toward him, incredulous. "Are you serious? Everyone knows we had sex, everyone, and your saying its okay. You're a boy. Their Alpha. Of course you say 'its okay'. Ugh I cannot believe this. But wait," She paused.

"How do they know? This wasn't exactly premeditated, well it kindof was on my part, but I didn't tell anyone. I may have hinted at it with Emily, but I never came right out and-"

"Bells, slow down. They know because I am their Alpha, and no one can claim their true mate until the Alpha does. So as soon as I claimed you, they felt the difference. And it is okay. They will all be happy for us. And I believe your toast is slightly burnt."

"Oh!" She turned around and flipped the toast onto the plate; sure that is was probably burnt. She sighed as she put on another few pieces to heat up and felt Jacob massaging her shoulders.

"Your right." She consented.

Jacob paused. "Could you repeat that? Or could I record it? Because I'm positive that those words will never again pass your lips while you're talking to me."

Bella laughed softly and turned around, accepting his hug.

"You are right. So what if all the wolves know about my sex life. And I knew about the whole 'Alpha claiming' thing. Emily told me that Sam couldn't mark her until you'd marked me. So I'm sure she will be happy."

"I like Emily and all, but the only womans happiness I care about is yours."

Bella giggled. "As long as your around, I couldn't be happier. Although….."

"What?"

"Can we go get Alice after breakfast? She's never been away from me for a while night before and I would just like a physical assurance that she's okay."

Jacob smiled into her hair. "I can do better than that. I'll give Sam a call and have him bring her as soon as we shower."

"We?"

Jacob smiled. "Yes. We."

Bella promptly turned off the burner on the stove and sprinted away toward the bathroom. Jacob growled behind her. "You don't run from the wolf baby. Because the wolf loves a chase."

Bella squealed as the wolf caught its prey and cleansed it very thoroughly before digging in. Literally.

You should all go review. Right now. And give me suggestions! I love when fans give me ideas, for anything at all. Criticism, something you'd like to see happen, something in the story that doesn't line up, anything! Review!
