Jacob took me home that evening, he said he wanted to talk to mum. It was briefly about Luke, but that was probably OK seeing as I'd already told her.
He walked me to the edge of the woods; there was no path. "Aren't we taking the car?" I asked him. At the time it seemed like a reasonable question, but as soon as I'd said it I felt pretty stupid.
"No, were taking the wolf-mobile. Wait here." He hoped of into the trees out of sight. I heard him phase and in about 10 seconds he was back. He gestured for me to hop on, so I did. He took off into the trees, running so fast he could almost keep up with a vampire. He stopped a mile from the Cullens' house and trotted further into the trees. He came back, human again, dressed. In just shorts. "Fancy a race?"
I usually beat him on short distance, and a mile wasn't that far. I'd probably be there in 40 seconds. "Back home? Mine I mean."
"I'm just gonna phase back. You've got a head start."
"See ya." I said as I took off into the woods. I knew he'd take time to phase, but even then I could win if I tried. So I tried, but only a little. Dodging trees from all over the place. When I reached the house, Jacob was leaning on the wall. "How did you get here so fast?"
"Fitness is everything." Was his reply. Not when you're stuck with being slim, fit and strong. But I left it at that. "There's a visitor."
I could smell it to. Different, it smelt of blood. There was no great best, so it had to be a vampire. It somehow smelt familiar. "Do you know who?"
"No, it's new. Shall we go and find out?" He seemed interested, but me, I'd met the volturi, and a load of other vampires with extreme dark sides. As he led me through the front door I heard the voice. Also familiar. Then I spotted him through the doorway to the living room. Luke, he was here, in the same house as Jacob, he was in MY house! "Jacob, it's through here." Now I was nervous.
"Well look who's back." Luke smiled at me as I walked through the door. "And who's this?" He meant Jacob. "He stinks of dog."
"Excuse me but who the hell are you?" Jacob snapped.
"I'm Luke, Nessie's boyfriend."
"Whoa," Jacob looked pretty worked up at that. "YOU kissing HER does not make you her boyfriend. I'M her boyfriend." He said matter-of-fact-ly.
"What makes you think that? You ever kissed her?" He seemed pretty confident.
"Could you boys settle this outside please. There's going to be breakages in a minute." Dad was home from work. He was into cars and worked down at the local garage where mum bought her truck.
"Sure. I'll just show Luke the way out." Said Jacob. No point trying to intervene when he was like this. He could be pretty stubborn. He walked into the garden with me right behind. Behind me was Luke.
"So, ever kissed her? I don't think you answered my question."
"He has actually Luke." I said quietly.
"Why did you let him do that? Come on, let's go Nessie." Luke started to leave then looked back. "Are you coming our what?"
"It's my house, why should I leave?" I definitely wasn't letting him get away with talking to Jacob like that. That was my job.
"You've got a point, dog breath should leave." Jacob looked right about ready to start throwing punches. "Ooh, bad dog. You shouldn't get angry with the alpha."
"I'll have you know that I'm the alpha round here, and I don't think you'll want to see me prove it." He closed his eyes to concentrate. He was talking to the rest of the pack. He opened his eyes and looked calmer.
"Anger problems? Maybe you need to prove it, let all that first out. Go on, Mr Alpha male." Luke was enjoying this. He came over to me and took my face in his. As he leaned in, Jacob was pushed to the limit. He didn't go and phase in the trees, out behind the house, he just leaped forward and exploded. Sports lying in topped she's on the ground, he pounced on Luke, sending him flying. He stood in front of me, growing and ready to attack of Luke came to close.
"Quite the loyal pooch I see." Luke was clearly shocked, but he was trying to hide it. "Is that it? Just because your a werewolf that makes you alpha?"
"No, he's literally alpha male." I said as the rest of the pack stalked in, growling and snarling. Even Sam's pack were now under Jacobs command. Sam had agreed because only he and one young wolf were left in a pack. Sam had come and had been put as Jacob's second, the beta.
"So who are you with then?" He seemed a lot less sure now.
"I'm with Jacob. I have been since I was born. Wolves imprint. They see a girl and that's it, no-one else gets a look in. All their time and devotion goes to make her happy, and they never love anyone more. Jacob imprinted on me. I chose to love him back."
"Well then. Have a nice life with your dogs then Renesmee Cullen." And with that he stormed off, never to be seen until the next day.
