After hearing lilly's confession, many emotions were brewing in my mind. I was furious, hurt, scared and nervous. She wanted to be a vampire, which made me furious as hell. She never told me of this plan, which hurt like a bitch. She might change her decision, which was scary. And, this might affect our relationship, so I was nervous.

It is weird how things change in my life in just few minutes. One second it is paradise and then other second, it is hell. I just want a normal life. Is it too much to ask? Maybe it is. At least fate seems to think so. But, I won't let anything bad happen. Not now. I am not alone. I have responsibilities to my family, my pack, my tribe and my mate.

After saying my goodbyes to lilly, I turned to left the cullens' house. I was at the front door when I felt lilly's emotions, first confusion and then fear. I heard her heartbeat go wild upstairs. I ran back to her room, but nothing was there except my lilly and fresh stench of leech.

'She was here jake. She was here' lilly whispered fear lacing her voice. I knew she was talking about bella and I recognized bella's scent too. I was in front of her in just two strides. I gathered her in my arms breathing deeply, taking her heavenly scent in. Her family was standing at the door but I ignored them at the moment. Lilly is my priority, my everything. After few long moments, I stepped away from her when her heartbeat was no longer running like a freight train.

All that time, cullens were murmuring between themselves. They were discussing bella's sudden appearance in a voice too low for lilly. 'It is going to be okay darling' rosalie said as she stepped forward and hugged my mate. 'She was probably here to talk but then changed her mind. She does that all the time' emmett said to ease lilly's nerves.

But I knew better. I had a bad feeling about this. Something bad was going to happen. My wolf was clawing at me to let loose. 'I will patrol around the house for the night' I kissed lilly's forehead and left before I phased in the house. I trusted lilly's parents to keep her calm and safe in the house while I patrolled outside to keep every threat away from my mate.

I replayed everything in pack mind to let them know what was happening. They were unnerved too when I shared what my instincts were screaming at me. Something bad was coming. During patrol, I saw carlisle, esme and jasper leave the house, but I never ventured too far from their house.

I vowed to keep my imprint safe at all costs. And that is what I did for the rest of the night while my mate slept fitfully just few feet away from me. Rosalie and emmett stayed with lilly. Few hours later, carlisle, esme and jasper came back. Jasper looked tense. Morning came and I went inside of the house, to see my beautiful imprint and to get some food too. It is not my fault that esme is a great cook.

I ate breakfast while I waited for lilly to wake up. I was shoving my fourth sandwich in mouth when lilly came down stairs. She looked stressed. In seconds, I had her in my arms, sandwich forgotten on the kitchen counter. 'Let her breath mutt' rosalie's insult broke the tension in kitchen as I laughed.

'Oh I missed that' I chuckled while rosalie mock glared at me with a perfect smirk on her lips. Lilly was smiling her beautiful smile, which put my mind at ease. She ate her breakfast in silence. I was thinking about last night's events when the rest of the cullen family gathered in kitchen.

'We talked to bella last night' carlisle started 'We went to edward and bella's cabin for a small talk. We wanted to know why bella visited lilly last night'. he looked right at me and lilly when he said that.

'And?' lilly pressed. I would have chuckled at her impatience if it was not a serious conversation. 'She said she wanted to talk but then changed her mind. She said that she got angry again when she saw you. So she left' carlisle answered.

'There is more. Isn't it?' I asked after seeing carlisle's expression. He nodded 'Jasper thinks that bella was lying.' He told us. She was lying? What the hell does this mean? This time jasper answered.

'I think she is planning something. We talked to edward too, separately of course. He was reading my mind and saw what I was picked up from bella's emotions. Edward said that he will keep an eye on bella. He too thinks that bella's behaviour is a bit erratic. He will keep her in line. They will visit charlie, because he is the reason we came back. And if things don't work out as planned, they will leave forks again. Alice will keep a watch on bella's decisions too.'

I nodded in understanding. At least, for now things looked good. I went back home to get a shower and to change clothes. It was hard to leave lilly especially with my wolf screaming at me to not to leave her alone. After a shower and few hours of sleep, I was back at cullens' house in the evening.

I was trying to take lilly outside for a stroll. Trying because rosalie won't let lilly out of her sight. I just wanted to get out of house and get away from vampires' smell for few minutes, probably few hours if I was lucky. I was still arguing with rosalie when edward entered the house. I stiffened at his arrival like everyone else. I waited for bella to enter after him but she never came.

'She is not coming today. She thinks it is for the best if she stays away for few days. She is going to see her father and have dinner with him and sue and seth' edward said. I relaxed with his answer. 'So she is not coming?' lilly confirmed.

Edward nodded 'Yeah. She wants to spend some time with charlie. So, she arranged dinner with him. She invited seth and sue too. Leah was invited too but she ... umm.. I don't think that she will join.' With each word, that came out of edward's mouth, I became more and more relaxed.

Now I can breath properly since no one is here to threaten my imprint. Edward glared at me but others relaxed just like me. I spent the rest of the evening annoying edward because rosalie refused to let lilly go out, so I was annoyed. Lilly was learning to cook from esme and her mom with alice watching. Jasper and emmett were playing video games while edward was reading a book. I knew he was reading everyone else's mind while pretending to read the book. I always knew he was sneaky.

I kept thinking what bella will eat at the dinner with charlie since her diet is a bit different from normal people. Charlie was in on our secret because paul phased in front of him accidently. Good thing was that he was good with weird just like his daughter. But, we never told him anything about vampires. We never wanted to put him in harm's way with volturi's rules and all.

Bella was probably explaining her condition to him and how she cannot eat the food that she prepared. Charlie is going to freak out. I chuckled at that and edward growled at me. I was thinking of more ways to annoy him when alice gasped. A vision, that was the only explanation of her glazed over eyes and lost look on her face.

Everyone turned to look at her but I kept my eyes on edward. He is the mind reader. He can see everything that is going through alice's head. Many emotions passed his face. Fear was the strongest of them all. Soon it all ended.

'What is it alice?' jasper asked. 'Bella' one word and chaos erupted.

I would love some opinion on this story because truthfully I feel a little lost. Tell me what you think.
