Chapter 1

"Of all of the... I just cannot believe...UGHHH!" I grunted out after having a very enlightening, yet upsetting conversation with my father.

"After all of this time that there has been shifters, never once did anyone put together why this happens. And they call themselves 'Elders'," I mumbled as I walked out of my house going to the Taj.

'In the distance the familiar rumble of an old truck meets my ears. I can feel my resting wolf become more alert. The one person in this world that can control me and my wolf: Bella. I could feel not only my wolf, but also myself stand taller, pushing my chest out to make myself seem broader, more manly and muscular. If I hadn't just found out why I had been doing this lately, I would have been totally embarrassed.

I patiently waited for my wolf's and my heart's desire to pull into the driveway. Before Bella could finish putting the gear in park, I already had the driver side door open ready to pull Bella into my arms. Seeing my eagerness made Bella giggle and open her own arms to the sun. Finally, she felt at home in my arms.'

"Well, I guess someone is pleased to see me, hmm?" Bella says.

"Always. Say, Bells, did you change your shampoo?" I say.

"No, it's the same why?"

"Nothing, nothing. It's just that you smell sweeter, more I don't know how to describe it. Maybe it's just my wolf, no worries," I answered her.

"Jake, does your wolf like the way that I smell?" Bella asks trying to look innocent as she looks into my eyes.

"Bells, you already know the answer to that. Both man and wolf approve," I tell her. Which is true, especially around this time of the year.

"I guess when you put it that way... Hey, I brought a movie with me, will you watch it?" Bella says.

"Yea, sure, but it depends on what it is. You already know that I am boycotting anything Jane Eyre wrote or idiots who like that stuff make..." I began before I caught what I had just said. Seeing one of Bella's eyebrows raise at my taunt.

Backpedaling I say "I never meant you Bells. You are definitely not an idiot who likes Jane Eyre. You are an intellectual whose love of prose and romanticism..."

"Save it dogboy before you have to sleep in the dog house tonight," Bella says seriously. I knew what that meant. Bella would withhold food and kisses from me. My wolf whined at my idiocy and the very real threat from our soon to be mate, hopefully. We knew that we had to turn this situation back to our favor, quick.

"So! What did you bring?" I ask trying to distract Bella.

"Are you sure that my intellect and romanticism won't bore you, oh strong and mighty Alpha?" Bella asks.

"No, no, I love your..." I begin.

"Whatever." Bella says waving my foolhardy explaination away. "You'll just have to wait and see now."

'Bella jumps down and grabs her bag from the bench seat and walks away. I don't immediately follow because I'm too entranced by Bella's plumply shaped switching behind. I had to force my wolf not to howl at the sight. I didn't want to get caught staring so I rushed to meet her inside.

Once in the house, I could see Billy and Bella talking. I see that the old man is trying not to smirk when I walked through the door. I hoped that my father didn't divulge any of that crap that he gave me during our talk. Deciding to save Bella and myself from another lecture I go and stand next to Bella.'

"Hey Dad, sorry to interrupt, but Bells brought a movie over to watch, so..." I say.

"Yea, yea. I know when someone is trying to shut me up," Billy said. Bella looked at me in disbelief, ultimately missing the smirk that Billy had on his face while watching me flounder. Before Bella turned back around Billy straightened his face. Moving his wheelchair back some, Billy says "I'll just get out of your way. I have a council meeting that Tiffany is picking me up for."

'I couldn't help but groan because I knew what type of meeting that really was. Ever since Tiffany admitted that Billy was Embry's father after one of the episodes that Billy explained to me, they have been at it like rabbits. Non stop. I've caught them in the driveway, in the living room, and almost in the Taj. Embry and I had to put our feet down about that. No one disturbs the sanctity of the Taj, unless it's myself then it's quite alright.'

"Aww, Billy. I was hoping that you would watch this with us," Bella tells him.

"Maybe next time. Think about what I've said Bella. See you guys later and Jake, remember what we talked about. We would hate for Charlie to..." Billy starts.

"Alright, alright! I get it! Don't you have a booty call or something?" I tell him as I push him out the door and down the ramp. I helped him get into the car and rushed back into the house. There's nothing more disturbing than seeing your dad and his baby momma go at it. I ran back into the kitchen and there stood Bella with her arms folded glaring at me.

"You do know that was not nice Jacob?"

Aww man! I knew when she called me that that I was in trouble.

"But..." I started.

"No buts, Jacob! Your father is finally happy after all of this time that your mom has been gone. Can't you just be happy for them?" She asks.

"Oh yea, like you're ecstatic that Leah is going to be your step sister? What was that you told me and sworn to secrecy? Oh yeah! You said..." I started until Bella ran and clamped her hand on my mouth. Even her scent from her hands were driving me wild. So, I licked her.

"EWWWWW! Jake that's so nasty!"

"Aw come on Bells, you like my nasty..."

"Don't you dare finish that sentence or no pudding for you!" She threatened me.

"You...you wouldn't! You promised never to withhold the pudding..." I told her because I was literally scared that she would stop making my favorite dessert.

"Hmph, let's just see about that," Bella says and stalks off to the living room. I just couldn't win with this girl some days. I followed her into the living room and I could see that she had already started the movie. It begins in a forest with baby animals and their mothers all standing around a deer and her foal.

"Aww shi..." I start to say but caught myself before Bella could threaten me with something else because of my cursing.

"I thought you liked this movie?" Bella asks.

"Yeah, when I was six!" I told her.

"Well, what's wrong with it now? It applies more to your life now than ever before," Bella taunted.

"Sure, sure. Crack as many jokes as you want on the shape shifter. I mean woodland animals, really Bells?" I tell her.

"Yes, woodland animals. I had to find something that had common ground with you since you spend 97.99 percent of your time furry and in the woods too."

"Oh hardy har har, Bells. I see your rusty joke machine is working today, huh?" I taunt her. Bella began to flush in frustration because she hated to be reminded of her dry, and I mean dry, wit. Don't get me wrong, I love the girl, but humor is not her forte.

'I never expected Bella to jump on me at that moment. It was like she became a she wolf and just went crazy. I kinda liked it. Especially seeing her skin flush, and her scent spike, mmm. I let her pinch and pound on me for a little longer before I couldn't hold in the laughter. I tried, I really tried to hold it in, but her hits and pinches tickled.'

"Stop laughing at me Jacob Ephraim Black!" she says calling me by my full name. Now I know that something else is wrong. She never calls me by my given name.

"Okay honey, what's wrong?" I asked her.

"You laughed at me," she said pouting and sitting as far away from me with her arms crossed.

"I'm sorry, but you know that your hits tickle. I am not saying that you're weak and helpless, I'm just saying that my body has to be able to withstand a lot..." I try to placate her.

"I just..."

"You just what honey?" I ask her as I pulled her into my lap.

"I wanted you to watch this with me. I was hoping that you could guess something for me. I know, I know. What can you get from a kiddy movie, but it just makes sense now," Bella explains.

"What makes sense?" I had to know what was frustrating her so.

"Twitterpated," she says. I couldn't help but gasp when she said it.

"So you know, huh. Why didn't you ever tell me that it was true Jake?" Bella asks me.

"Because I just found out about it myself. I mean, that's why dad stepped out on my mom. Although he never became a wolf, he still felt the pull to produce more pups. By that time my mom was already pregnant with me and they knew that she wouldn't be able to have more after me, he was overwhelmed with the need to procreate" I explained.

'It almost sent everything into a tailspin for my parents, but Old Quil explained things to my mom so that she could understand better. It didn't help that neither women could be around each other. Maybe things would have been better if…"

"Everything happens for a reason, babe. Don't focus on the sad part, focus on the good, the here and now parts," Bella tells me comfortingly.

"When did you get so wise?" I asked her in wonder.

"Surprisingly, from you. You may not know it, or even believe, but you have taught me so much that I can't help but want to do the same for you," Bella says truthfully as she looks me in the eyes.

My desire for her spikes to a level that was out of my control. In that moment, Bella became the Alpha woman I needed. My wolf was chomping at the bit to have our way with her. To finally claim her as ours. Bella could see the look in my eyes and the change in my demeanour.

Her reaction, oh it almost brought tears to my eyes. Bella started to bloom in arousal right in front of me. Like a delicate flower welcoming the sun. We've kept things pretty chaste for the last year and a half because, one: I was under aged and two: my wolf wouldn't let me. He felt that we weren't ready to take it to the next level, and I have to admit that he was right. However, now my wolf didn't want to hold back any longer. He wanted, no needed to have and claim his mate. That was all the push I needed. I .mean, hey, I'm a young virile guy, Alpha even. What did you expect?

I grabbed Bella and fixed her in my lap so that she was straddling me. Once she settled in place it was like a switch was turned and she became the aggressor. I definitely was not complaining. We made out like the teenagers we were. This time it was better because I knew where it was leading. But, I had to pump the brakes on it.

"Bells. Bells. I can't believe that I am saying this, but we have to stop. We need to talk."

And just like that my little flower wilts right before my eyes. I knew what she was thinking and I had to change that. Pronto!

"No, no honey. Don't think that I don't want you. You can practically feel how much I do. I just wanted to make sure that this is what you wanted and that our mating season wasn't the main factor at play here, I told her honestly.

Bella's color started to come back. She sat still, not looking me in the eye. I hated how she sometimes retreated into herself to decide things. I wanted, no, needed her to talk to me.

"Bella, what is on your mind?'

"Will I really become pregnant?" She asked me.

"There's a high chance that you will."

It seemed as if she has more to say. I gave her a chance to gather her thoughts.

"What would this mean for us, Jake?"

"It would mean that we would belong together. I will take care of you and any babies that we may have. It means that I will ask Charlie for your hand in marriage…"

"Whoa, whoa! What?! You want to marry me? Really?" Bella asked in disbelief.

"Of course I want to marry you! I have always wanted to marry you. What made you question that?"

"I... I...um," Bella stutters. She takes a deep breath and began again. "What if, I'm not enough? What if your wolf makes you step out like Billy did?"

I started to answer"No" right away, but I really had to think about this. My parents loved each other without a doubt. Yet, my dad stepped out on her because of urges he couldn't stop. Would I do the same? Could I do the same? At the thought my wolf recoiled.

For the first time my wolf spoke to me. Well, not necessarily spoke in a human speech sense, but in pictures. He showed me that by claiming Bella, we could avoid what happened to my parents. That was the difference between my dad and I. His wolf never came out so things were done half way. Once I understood this, I knew that Bella had nothing to fear, from me at least.

"Jacob? Jacob? Where did you go?" Bella asked nervously.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"I was talking to you and you just spaced out for a while. After a few minutes, I started to worry that something was wrong with you. I was getting scared and didn't know what to do," Bella said with tears in her eyes.

"Oh, honey! I'm so sorry for scaring you! It's just that my wolf was talking to me and he explained some things."

"Like what? What could he have put you in a trance for?" Bella asks a bit skeptically.

"He told me why my dad cheated on my mom and how I don't have to do the same," I tell her with the biggest smile on my face.

Hope and excitement grow in her eyes. I could see that having an answer to her fears and anxieties is going to make things all the better for me.

"Tell me! Tell me! Come on, Jake! What does the wolf know?"

"The wolf says that I need to claim you. That once both of us acknowledge you as our mate then I will never do what my father did to my mom."

"What do you mean claim? Are you going to take a chunk out of me?"

"No, baby. During sex, I will both verbally and physically claim you. My wolf won't be too far at the surface, so no beastiality there. But we will scent mark you by clamping down on your shoulders with my teeth…"

"So you mean to tell me, that you have to have sex with me like a dog,"

"Wolf, honey. There's a difference."

"Sure, sure. Anyway. You'll have to do me like a wolf so that both of you can claim me. And in doing that, this Twitterpated thing won't come between us?"

"Simply put, yes. That's exactly how it goes.'

"Well, I certainly don't want another woman getting any of my goods from you. So, I think, no I know that I want you and your wolf to claim me," Bella tells me with a bright smile on her face.

'My heart jumps, my wolf wants to howl, and other things start to wake up again. The time has finally come for us to join together...and I just can't wait! I jump up with Bella still in my lap. She shrieks from the sudden change in positions and she tightens her legs and arms around me. I almost drop her from the sensations flowing through my body from this contact. I knew that I needed to hurry to my room or my dad would be getting a show. Maybe, that would serve him right? Nah! Bells would have my balls if I embarrassed her like that. Welp, on to my bedroom it is! I just couldn't get there fast enough! Bella's tinkling laughter is in my ear and I can't stop the Cheshire cat grin from crossing my own face.'
