Jacob POV

OOOOO

We can't let her stay here! Leah hissed.

She was my beta, and I always listened to her advice, but she was being completely unreasonable. I stepped closer to her, snarling. What are we supposed to do!? Attack the Cullens and steal Bella and Renesmee so that we can kill them? I flinched at just the thought. How could I possibly kill my imprint? And the idea of harming Bella made me sick to my stomach.

Leah glared at me, her ears flat against her head. They're red-eyes, Jake.

Seth, who had been watching the argument along with the other wolves, stepped forward. Guys, we gotta at least give them a chance. Maybe they're changing their ways.

What if they're not? Quil asked. What then?

Embry looked between everyone, confused as usual. Typical Embry.

I growled loudly, quite tempted to use my alpha voice. However, unlike Sam, I knew I would never and could never do it. Then we'll kill them, but only if we're sure. We have to wait and see.

WAIT?! Leah screeched, her ears pinning flat against her head. They could slaughter the whole town while we're 'waiting'.

No, I told her, not even bothering to look at her. This is the right decision.

She snarled, infuriated at me for ignoring her. I couldn't care less. There was no way I would even consider attacking Bella and Renesmee unless they proved themselves to be dangerous to the humans on the rez. No, I wouldn't kill them. I couldn't kill them, I just couldn't.

Leah snarled, her fur standing on end in anger. You know where they are right now?! Killing humans! You know they are. The doctor said they're hunting. He knows. He knows that they're evil, even more evil than the Cullen bloodsuckers. We can't let them live!

I drew myself up higher, turning my eyes down to glare at her. I growled viciously. No, we are not going to kill them, and that is final.

From Leah's thoughts, I knew she didn't agree with my decision, but she also wouldn't go against me. We understood each other too well for that to happen.

I walked away then, heading into the shadows so that I could shift back. I collapsed next to a tree, grabbing my head once I was positive my thoughts were private. I just didn't know what to do anymore. Renesmee was my imprint, but I still loved Bella. It felt almost like a betrayal, but I couldn't help it. Why did I feel this way though? Wasn't I supposed to fall for my imprint? But all I felt for Renesmee was a protective sibling relationship. I had thought I loved her. Oh god, I had almost raped her! But now my thoughts were clear, and I realized that the one I truly loved was Bella. I had always loved her, and I still do.

But she's a vamp now. How could a relationship between us ever be? Not to mention that she still has Eddie, the one she left me for. The one she gave her life up for.

I was so confused and uncertain. I had no idea what to do, but keeping them alive was the first step. Of course, the pack was astounded by the decision and was hesitant to accept it, but they had no choice in the matter. I was alpha.

I finally realized the truth that I had been hiding behind feelings I had tried to create for Renesmee and for so many other girls. Only the thought of killing her could make me understand that I loved Bella and would never be able to stop loving her.

I stood up then, leaning against a large oak tree. I pulled my shorts on and rubbed my hands over my face, trying to regain my composure. I had a decision to make now. I could either go back to La Push and face my furious beta, or I could go to the Cullens' and try to get closer to Bella.

To me, the answer was obvious. Still in my human form, I began to walk to the large white mansion.
