Chapter 1,
Bella's POV,
"Kiss me Jacob"
It was out of my mouth before I could think, Jacobs lips came crashing down on mine, and all thought left my mind. All I could focus on was this moment, this moment with Jacob. When Edward left me it devastated me and I was mess for months it was Jacob who brought me back to life.
I never knew you could love more then one person at the same time, but now I know you can. I am in love with two completely different guys and I knew now I had to choose who I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
Edward was gone for six months and I survived, I couldn't talk to Jacob for a week and it almost destroyed me completely. I knew in my heart that I couldn't live without Jacob but I could without Edward.
With Jacobs lips pressed against mine, his arms wrapped around me holding me tightly against him, I saw my future I saw all I could ever dream of and that was pure happiness. Being with Jacob I wouldn't have to change, I wouldn't have to leave my father or say goodbye to my friends. I knew Edward and his family would fight the newborns, but after that I would be saying goodbye to them I couldn't have them and Jacob in my life at the same time I had made my choice.
I pulled away from him, gasping for breath putting my forehead against his to look into his eyes. I knew saying yes to marrying Edward was a mistake, I knew it would hurt Edward me leaving him but its something I had to do. I wanted to be with Jacob, I loved him with my whole heart, I knew Jacob is who I couldn't live without.
Jacob brought me out of my thoughts.
"That should of been our first kiss." Which made me smile at him, he was right of course but once this fight is over there would be plenty more kissing to come.
"I gotta go, I'll be back"
With that he left, I knew he had to go but I also didn't Want him to leave. I didn't want him to leave me here on this rock with Edward, I didn't want this to possibly be the last time I saw him. No I wouldn't let my thoughts go in that direction I would have faith in the wolves and faith that Jacob would come back to me. Now i knew I couldn't live without him I didn't Want to be separated from him.
I walked back to where I left Edward and found him with Seth, I looked into Edwards eyes and knew he knew what me and Jacob had done, but I couldn't bring myself to feel guilty for it.
"You saw?"
He went to grab my hand but I pulled away from him, he was the reason Jacob found out about the engagement before the fight. I saw him frown but once again I couldn't bring myself to feel guilty.
"No Jacob thinks really loudly"
I nodded my head cause I had nothing else to say, not in this moment anyway everything I had to say could wait until after this fight was done. Before we could say anything else Seth made a sort of snuffling noise. Edward looked into his eyes for a moment then looked back to me.
"Its starting"
I didnt particularly want to hear about the fight, my nerves wouldn't take it so I was happy he didn't go into commentary mode, just gave me snippets.
"Jacob just got there, his good"
I nodded my head, cause what else could I say. Suddenly Edward had a panicked look on his face and I thought the worst someone must of got hurt.
"Someone's hurt?"
He didnt even look at me he stood right in front of me and looked at Seth speaking to him.
"She's close, I can hear her thoughts. Go Seth"
With that Seth ran, and Victoria showed up with another Newborn I knew it was Riley as I recognised his face from the missing posters my dad had been putting up. Edward was talking to Riley trying to get him to see that Victoria didn't really love him, me I couldn't focus on anything it was all surreal, like a nightmare that I couldn't Wake up from.
Suddenly out of nowhere Seth jumps onto Riley ripping his hand off in the process, Seth began dragging Riley away while Edward focused on Victoria who seemed to try to run away.
Edward described what he did to James, I knew he was trying to end this now, but I also knew he didn't kill James Jasper, Emmett and Alice did I remember that much from that night.
Suddenly the fight was on, all I could see was white blurs, i could hear the noises which terrified me. I was bought out of my confused state by Seth's whine of pain, I looked over to him to see him laying on the floor I didn't think I just ran over to him. Edward was fighting both Riley and Victoria but I couldn't focus on that, all I could focus on was Seth.
I put my hand on his head rubbing his ears softly, calling his name,
"Seth, come you have to wake up"
I felt movement and saw his eyes open he looked to me then over to Edward, which had me looking as well we both saw Edward on his knees with his head about to be ripped off. Thankfully Seth jumped up and ripped Riley away in time. It took all of five minutes for them both to ripe Riley and Victoria to pieces and the fight was over.
Edward walked over to us when Seth started growling,
"Something's wrong!"
Edward pulled out his lighter and looked at me,
"No Alice needs us to go"
He lite the lighter then threw it onto Victoria's body which lite up like a Christmas tree. Edward grabbed me and threw me onto his back, then he was flying through the Forrest Seth following alongside. We got to the filed in seconds, Edward placing me on my feet carefully with us both walking over to Alice, I still had no idea what was going on until Edward asked Alice.
"How long?"
Then I knew the Vulturi were coming, but that still wasn't enough to make me change my mind, I had decided I would be with Jacob and that's what I was going to do. If push came to shove I would fake my death.
"Five minutes maybe ten"
Not long, but we all knew this could be a possibility. Carlisle spoke up this time.
"The pack needs to leave, the Volturi wont honour a truce with the werewolves."
I stopped listening to them cause I looked over to see Jacob coming out of the woods in his wolf form and it was all I could do to stop myself from running into him. Now would not be the time for any kind of conversation. I saw his eyes wonder across the field and I knew he was looking for me, so I just smiled at him.
When suddenly Edward shouted something to Leah, we all looked to see her try to take on a Newborn who had already got his arms around her body, so Jacob jumped in and ripped the Newborn away from her only for the thing to wrap its arms around him. We all heard his bones break and his cry of pain.
He hit the ground and phased back to human, when the other wolves jumped in to rip the thing to shreds, all I could see was Jacob in pain because of me.
I ran, Edward got there with Carlisle already examining him, I hit the ground on my knees at the same time Jacob asked for me.
"Bella?"
"I'm here Jacob"
I grabbed his hand tightly in mine,
When Leah came back in human form with the rest of the wolves.
"Jesus Jacob I had it"
I just snorted at this, the stupid bitch didn't have anything. Thankfully Sam shut her up
"Leah"
Carlisle started talking to Sam,
"I need to set his bones before they heal"
Then Edward said something
"We need to get him outta here we're not going to win a fight against the volturi "
"We're take him back to Billy's"
"I'll be there as soon as I can"
We moved out of the way so the pack could pick him up to carry him out of the filed. I just hoped this whole volturi thing hurried up cause I wanted to be with Jacob.
Alice shouted that they were coming, so I moved to stand with the rest of the Cullen's in a line, Edward tried to wrap his arm around my waist so I just moved out of his way and stood next to Rosalie.
I looked up to see Jane, Dimitri, Alec and FĂ©lix walking out of the Forrest, to stand in front of us. Me I wanted no part of this meeting, I just wanted it over with. I drowned out what was being said as all I could think about was Jacob. I heard the screams of the Newborn being ripped apart then nothing, the volturi were gone. I could finally breath, this whole mess was over with now I could worry about my future and what it would mean for the Cullen's.
I looked up to see Edward stood in front of me,
"Come on we should go."
I shook my head
"I'm not going with you, I need to see Jacob and I want to speak to Rosalie"
I looked to my side where Rosalie was stood, she was looking at me with a raised eyebrow, I took a deep breath.
"Can I please talk to you?"
She just nodded her head then looked to Edward and the rest,
"Go on, me and Bella will follow you shortly."
With that they all left, I took another deep breath and faced her with my head held high.
"Come on then Bella what's this all about?"
"I need your help."
"What could you possibly need my help with?"
I looked right into her eyes so she knew I was serious.
"I don't want to be a vampire, I want to live a human life, I want to have children and grandchildren. I dont love Edward as much as I thought I did to sacrifice all of my wants and dreams to give up my humanity and become immortal."
"Finally realized that truth of knowing theres more to life then just one person to love huh?"
"Please Rosalie can you help me? I know i want more then what Edward can give me"
"I'll Help you because I wish there was someone there to of helped me to not become what I am"
"Thank you"
"Do you have a plan?"
Luckily I did.
"I do, can you take me back to my house, I'm gonna pack some of my stuff tell my dad that I'm moving out. Then can your drop me to where my truck is parked and then follow me as far as you can go to the treaty line?"
"So its the wolf you want?"
"I love Jacob, more then I ever thought I could. I lived without Edward for six months so I know I can do it, but I can never live without Jacob"
With that she turned around, crouched down abit and told me to get on her back. So I did, I tugged my face into her hair so I couldn't See the Forrest rush by me. We got to my house in record time, thankfully the lights were on so I knew my dad was home. Rosalie let me down and told me she would wait here for me.
I rushed into my house, straight up to my room, where I pulled the holdall out of my closet and proceeded to pack anything I could see. Whatever I forgot could be collected at a later date. I went back downstairs and saw my dad standing at the front door frowning at me.
"I thought I heard you. What's going on Bell's?"
"Dad you know I love you right?"
"Of course I do. What's this all about?"
"I can't live here anymore, and I'm not marrying Edward. In fact I'm breaking up with him. Remember when you told me I should learn to love wars good for me? Well you were right and i didn't Even know it until now.
I love Jacob dad more then I thought I could love anyone and I want to be with him, but more then that I can't be away from him not now I know its him I want to be with. You know Billy wont mind me being there and I'll Still see you all the time. But I have to do this dad for me"
To say he looked shocked well that would be an understatement, if he said no it wouldn't stop me, I'm An adult and this is what I want.
"Well I can't say I'm Not shocked cause I am, but I'm also happy I knew you and Edward weren't meant to be his just to different for you. Im not happy about you moving in with Jacob but I also cant stop you.
Just know I love you and I'm always here."
With that I hugged him and left. Rosalie was waiting for me with her car which shocked me but I didn't question it. I jumped in and she sped away, before I could say anything she beat me to it.
"Your trucks waiting at the treaty line, I didn't wanna waste any time. I'll Drop you there and I'll tell Edward your ring him later okay?"
"Thank you Rosalie, for all of this. I know you probably hate me cause I'm hurting Edward but this will be better for us both in the long run. I'm not it for Edward there's someone out there that will make him more happy then I did."
"I dont hate you Bella, I envy you, you've finallh chosen a good path. As a vampire I'm frozen in this stage never changing, I didn't want that for you cause I could see you wanted more you just didn't Know it"
"Thank you for pushing me to see that I wanted more with my life"
Before she could say anything else she pulled up alongside my truck she turned to me with a soft smile on her face.
"Good luck Bella"
I shoked us both by pulling her into a gental hug
"Thank you"
I grabbed my bag, hopped out of the car and ran straight to my truck, ripping open the door and jumping straight in. Turning the engine on and pulling away as fast as I could. I knew once I was over the treat line Edward couldn't follow me.
Not that I was scared of him, but I knew he wouldn't let me go without trying to persuade me first and right now I just wanted to see Jacob. It was already dark outside so it had been at least two hours since the pack carried Jake away.
I got to Billy's house to see everyone waiting outside, I slammed on my break hopping out of the truck not even closing the door behind me. I stood in front of Billy and the pack with tears in my eyes.
Before I could speak we all heard it Jacob scream, the whole pack winced, me? My heart was breaking to know Jake was in so much pain. Thankfully Jared spoke up
"His been like that since Dr Fang went in there."
I didnt even have the heart to say anything about the name, because I didn't care anymore, I knew they all caught that because they looked at me in shock. Before I could say anything Leah spoke up which had me snapping at her in anger.
"Why did he have to butt in I could have taken that tick!"
Butt in? Is she serious? Taken the tick tucking idiot.
"Butt in? Are you serious Leah? We were all there we saw what happened. Jacob saved you from having to go through what he is right now! That damn tick as you called it had its arms around you first so no you had nothing! Be grateful that Jacob saved your ass you bitch"
This had them all looking at me in shock. Me I just stood with my head held high they would all know my decision soon enough
"What did you just say?"
"Surely your hearing isint damaged Leah you heard every word I just said"
"If it weren't for you, you little leach lover none of us would of had to have fought today"
Her words meant nothing to me I just looked at her and smirked
"Your right Leah because none of you have ever made a mistake in life right? Your all perfect!"
She didn't get to say anything back because Carlisle came out of the house then. He looked straight to Billy.
"I've fixed his broken bones, and gave him morphine but with his high temp he will burn it off quickly. Let him rest he should be up in a few days"
Billy for his part looked to Carlisle with his a smile. He raised his hand to shake Carlisle's
"Thank you"
Carlisle shook his hand then walked over to me,
"His asking for you."
I nodded I would see him shortly but first I had to say something to Carlisle he went to walk away but I called him
"Carlisle?"
He turned back to me, I took a deep breath and pulled Edwards ring out of my pocket I walked closer to Carlisle knowing no matter how quiet I was the wolves would still hear me. I held my hand out to him and he grabbed the ring looking at me with a raised eyebrow.
"Tell Edward I'm sorry but I can't Marry him. I appreciate all what your family have done for me but becoming a vampire is not what I want. I'm sorry to have realised it now. I can't live without Jacob I love him more then I can ever put into words, my soul connects to his more then I ever did with Edward.
I want to live, I want children, and grandchildren I want to grow old with the man I love. Once Jacob is better I will say goodbye to your family properly but for now Carlisle this is goodbye"
"I'll tell them all. Goodbye Bella"
With that he was gone, I took a deep breath and turned around to face everybody I could see they were all shocked because it was written all over their faces but right now I didn't care. I walked over to Billy and smiled softly at him.
"Billy i know I've cause so much trouble for everyone here all I can say is I'm Sorry, I realised today that I had made a huge mistake in my life I had to change that. Ive spoken to my dad so he knows what's going on but I feel I need to speak to you to.
I love your son Billy with my whole heart and I never want to be parted from him. Ive moved out of Charlie's So if you'll have i'd Liked to here with Jacob I'd like to live with you"
He just smiled at me and grabbed my hand
"Bella you have nothing to be sorry for. I knew you would realise how much you love my son,we would love to have you here now go and see Jacob before he gets out of bed to find you"
I smiled at him and placed a kiss to his cheek. Then I was running into the house to Jake's Bedroom. When i got there he looked to be in so much pain my heart broke for him. I walked over to his bed and knelt down by the side of it, I grabbed his hand to get his attention. This had him opening his eyes straight away, he smiled at me.
"Hey"
"Hey, how are you? Do you need anything?"
He let go of my hand and placed it onto my cheek, running his thumb along my bottom lip.
"All I need is you"
I smiled at him, I put my hand onto his cheek
"You have me Jacob Black"
This had him looking at me in shock but happiness.
"Are you serious?"
"I am. Jake I love you more then I ever thought possible. I know I cant live without you. I haven't spoken to Edward yet, but I gave Dr Fang the engagement ring back to give to Edward. Ive also packed some of my stuff and told Charlie I'm Moving in here with you, I told Billy to. Oh and uh..I kinda had a go at Leah so she might be a bit passed off with me"
"I dont care about Leah, I'm so happy right now, if I wasn't In so much pain id be kissing the hell outta you"
This had me laughing, so I moved slowly towards him, placing a light kiss against his lips, I felt him smile against my lips and pulled back reaching my hand up to move some of his hair out of his eyes.
He pushed himself back towards the wall, as close as he could get and patted the bed for me to join him. If he wasn't a fast healer I would of said no, but right now I knew we both needed to the connection. I stood up and took my shoes off along with the hoodie I had on, then I crawled onto the bed laying on my left side facing him.
He closed his eyes falling asleep instantly, I knew from here we would be happy. I scooted closer relaxing, drifting off to sleep with a smile on my face.
Paul's POV, (because we all love him)
Fucking Leah, Jacob wouldn't be in this trouble right now if she wasn't so god damn arrogant and egotistical. She's a new wolf and she thinks she can take on anything, Sam's to much of a coward to Alpha order her to much because of their stupid history yeah cause none of us have any of that do we? Idiots!
I was bought out of my thoughts by the slamming of breaks, looking up I see Bella hopping out of her truck, normally I don't like the little leach lover but I could see something has changed in her eyes. Before she could say anything we all heard Jacob scream, I could see it broke her heart by the tears in her eyes. Jared spoke to her first.
"His been like that since Dr Fang went in there,"
We all held our breaths waiting for her to say something to Jared about the way he spoke about the doc but she said nothing which had us all looking at her in surprise. Before we could say anything about that Leah spoke up. I swear I'm gonna rip into the bitch when I get the damn chance.
"Why did he have to butt in I could have taken that tick!"
Bitch was delusional we all saw what happened, the damn bitch jumped in and forgot all her training thinking she could be the top damn bitch and take it on her own. Its her fault Jacob is hurt right, we all heard the tiny growl come out of Bella and looked at her to see what was going on when she spoke up to Leah with nothing but anger in her voice.
"Butt in? Are you serious Leah? We were all there we saw what happened. Jacob saved you from having to go through what he is right now! That damn tick as you called it had its arms around you first so no you had nothing! Be grateful that Jacob saved your ass you bitch"
Ooh looks like Bella has grown a back bone, damn she sure shocked the shit outta us Jared had his mouth hanging open while Billy looked at her with pride on his face.
What did you just say?"
Looks like Leah's gonna shit her pants with anger
"Surely your hearing isint damaged Leah you heard every word I just said"
Ooh burn...i dont think any of us have stood up to Leah well except me I wasn't gonna take the bitchs shit no matter what and it looks like neither was Bella Swan.
"If it weren't for you, you little leach lover none of us would of had to have fought today"
Well she had a point but not really its not Bella's fault the Cullen's didn't kill the red head at the same time as her mate. We all looked to Bella to see what she would say back to that, me and the guys were like a damn tennis match. Bella just smirked at Leah, smirked!
"Your right Leah because none of you have ever made a mistake in life right? Your all perfect!"
Double damn! Leah had nothing to say to that and I don't think any of us did either. Thankfully the doc came out, he walked straight over to Billy.
"I've fixed his broken bones, and gave him morphine but with his high temp he will burn it off quickly. Let him rest he should be up in a few days"
Billy for his part looked to Carlisle with his a smile. He raised his hand to shake Carlisle's
"Thank you"
Carlisle shook his hand then walked over to Bella,
"His asking for you."
She nodded her head at him and he walked away before he could get to far she called him back.
"Carlisle?"
He turned back to her, we saw and heard her take a deep breath and she pulled something out of her pocket none of us could see what it was as she had her fist closed. She walked closer to Carlisle, she held out her hand and dropped a ring into his waiting hand, she then started speaking and I think we all died of shock from that moment. We all honestly thought she loved that leach and she was here to break Jake's heart again.
"Tell Edward I'm sorry but I can't Marry him. I appreciate all what your family have done for me but becoming a vampire is not what I want. I'm sorry to have realised it now. I can't live without Jacob I love him more then I can ever put into words, my soul connects to his more then I ever did with Edward.
I want to live, I want children, and groundchildren I want to grow old with the man I love. Once Jacob is better I will say goodbye to your family properly but for now Carlisle this is goodbye"
We could see that the doc was upset about this but he didn't show it to her or Billy we only saw cause of our eye sight catching the smaller movement.
"I'll tell them all. Goodbye Bella"
Not only is she breaking up with the leach but she's saying goodbye to the rest of them to, I could feel something change within the pack at this time, I wasn't sure what it was but knew it would bring about some change, I could even feel the slight love that we all had for the girl now. She's choosing a pack brother which would make her family and we protect our family. I knew they didn't have to worry about Jacob imprinting because she is his mate.
She took another deep breath and turned to face us all, I'm pretty sure all of us was displaying the shock we felt. She walked straight over to Billy.
"Billy i know I've cause so much trouble for everyone here all I can say is I'm Sorry, I realised today that I had made a huge mistake in my life I had to change that. Ive spoken to my dad so he knows what's going on but I feel I need to speak to you to.
I love your son Billy with my whole heart and I never want to be parted from him. Ive moved out of Charlie's So if you'll have me i'd Liked to be here with Jacob I'd like to live with you"
Billy being the old soul he is just smiled at her and grabbed her hand, he had been saying for weeks that he knew she loved Jacob she just had to realise it, he also told us not to give her such a hard time about it. I have no idea what the chick has to be sorry about though, we got to kill some leaches which was fun as hell.
She packed her stuff? Moving in with Jacob? Jesus this chick is serious!
"Bella you have nothing to be sorry for. I knew you would realise how much you love my son, we would love to have you here now go and see Jacob before he gets out of bed to find you"
She smiled at him placed a kiss to his cheek then she was running to Jacob. The rest of us just stood here not knowing what else to do.
"So what the fuck just happened?"
Yeah okay I had to ask cause lets face it today has been a long ass confusing day from hell and I had a feeling tomorrow was going to be just as long. Billy spoke up,
"Bella has accepted the wolf as her mate"
Yeah thanks for that your cryptic bastard cause that explains everything dont it? Before I could say anything else Leah spoke up again,
"What the fuck is wrong with the bitch? Who the fuck does she think she is talking to me that way? I had it, Jacob had no need to get involved"
This passed me off I looked to Sam to see if he would say anything but it didn't Look like he would so I spoke up,
"For puck sake Leah, no you didn't have it Bella was right we all saw. Now shut the hell up cause I know I speak for everyone when I say were all sick of your shit."
She went to say something back but Billy beat her to it.
"Paul it right Leah, enough is enough. I am tribal chief here my word is law, don't think I don't know what has been going on cause I do. I know everything, your pack brothers do not deserve what you have done or the way you treat them.
We all know you hurt over Sam and Emily, but your a wolf now you know why things happened the way they did. Its been a year its time you moved on! Sam as Alpha you should of put a stop to this behaviour right away, I know why you've Been hesitate but enough is enough you will treat her the same way you treat the rest of the pack do you understand me?"
Wow ok I dont think any of us expected Billy to pick up on Sam's shit but its about time he did. Leah needs to learn she is not the Alpha of this pack and she can't rule us. Sam looked down in shame.
"Of course Billy"
"Good! We will have a meeting tomorrow here at lunch time, there is much to discuss, its late and your all tired go home get some sleep be here at lunch time."
With that he rolled away with Sue following him, we looked up to Sam.
"Billy's right, I'm sorry guys I haven't been treating you all the same and I should of been. I'm Sorry as of now Leah will be treated like the rest of you which means Leah as punishment for speaking out and treating your brothers the way you have, you hVe double patrol duty for a week. The rest of you go home get some rest and be here tomorrow lunch time."
With that he was gone, Leah following after him in a strop.
"Night guys"
I was off, tomorrow would be a long day.
