Previously:

"But... kill to Bella?..." Seth whined at the thought of Bella.

"We must all take care of the problem and protect the pack and people around us. Even if it means to get rid of the rest of the Cullens." Sam obviously wasn't thinking straight, surely he couldn't mean Rosalie too.

Jacob growled and stood straighter, there was no way he'd fight the Cullens, he knew Rosalie would fight against them, he also knew she'd die to protect Bella and the baby. "No. I refuse."

Sam obviously, was going to refuse no as an answer as he walked forward to Jacob, the other wolves around him were whining and bowing down to Sam as Sam was trying to force it on everyone, to order them so they couldn't go against it. Jacob felt himself beginning to back down, it rippled through him fast and strong, but he dug his claws into the ground and growled, pushing himself up and standing at full height, looking down towards Sam.

"No, I am the grandson of Ephraim Black. I am the rightful alpha of this pack. I was not meant to follow you." Jacob snapped at Sam and jumped over him, running off fast.

As he ran, he realized he could no longer hear any thoughts of Sam, or the other pack members.

He was free.

Chapter Ten- How Could You?

-Cullen Home-

Jacob was running through the forest in his human form now, he had crossed the border to Forks and was now near the Cullen's home again, his breathing was hard as he slowed down to a walk. He blamed himself quietly for Sam finding out so soon, but he knew that he eventually would.

He heard something behind him and spun around quickly. "Whoa, you sure took charge Jake." Seth grinned at him and walked forward. A scowl left Jacob and he shook his head. "No, go home Seth."

Seth came to a stop and a frown replaced the grin that he had previously before. "Are you going to order me to?..."

A sigh left Jacob as he heard Seth's question, he reached up and rubbed the bridge of his nose. He didn't want Seth to be in the middle, he figured something was going to happen to where he'd have to fight against his 'brothers'. He didn't want Seth being in the middle of it, he also didn't want Rosalie in the middle of it but she was. "No..." Jacob turned and began walking, hearing Seth following him.

The smile returned to Seth's face as he walked forward, slipping around a few trees to keep up with Jacob. "Well, good. We can be the lone pack. The two of us trying to take everyone on."

"You're starting to get on my nerves Seth..." Jacob said as calmly as he could and continued walking up until he saw the Cullen's home, he saw Edward and thought of everything that had happened prior to him leaving the pack. "Get ready, they're coming for Bella."

Edward stood there for a long moment before flashing inside, he had seen and heard from Jacob's mind that Sam wasn't going to speak about this, he wanted the thing inside Bella dead. "Carlisle..we have a problem..." Carlisle turned towards Edward and with a tilt of his head, watched him.

"Aside from the certain problem at hand?" He asked, a hint of curiosity in his voice as well as concern.

"Yes. Sam is-" Before Edward could say more, Jacob walked inside to where they were, Seth trailing behind him, Seth nodded towards Edward and Edward gave a nod in return, then he looked towards Jacob. "Sam won't rest until he's finished this."

"Then we'll be sure that he won't." Edward said in a reply towards Jacob's statement. Esme walked into the room as well as the others, even Rosalie except she was by the doorway. Rosalie was curiously watching Jacob, she half wondered why he was back but wouldn't admit to anyone that she felt relieved. She didn't like snapping at him, or being cold. But she wasn't going to let herself be completely changed for how she felt about him, she still needed him to know that she wasn't going to roll over for anyone especially when it came to what she wanted to do.

"Sam wants to kill Bella and the baby." Jacob spoke clearly and noticed that Esme frowned. "He's going to strike...but I don't know when, I know it isn't safe. From now on in Sam's eyes the treaty is void."

"Not in our eyes." Esme spoke up then, she was frowning but sitting up straight with her hands in her lap. Carlisle had by now, moved to stand behind his wife, his hands were on her shoulders and Jacob watched Esme reach up and touch one of his hands. "We will do whatever we can to protect Bella." She added after a moment of silence.

Rosalie smiled a bit at that, she noticed that Jacob had glanced to her a few times and she couldn't help but look over towards Emmett. Since everything had happened with Jacob, her and Emmett had drifted more apart than usual. Emmett would barely stay in the same room with her, they hardly spoke too. Emmett was having mixed feelings about the whole thing, he loved Rosalie but at the same time he hated Jacob.

A small part of him could understand that the imprinting wasn't his choice, but the bigger part was just yelling that it meant Jacob would try to steal his wife, it gave Emmett mixed emotions from sorrow to hate, to any other emotion in between.

Rosalie herself, was conflicted still. She knew how she felt about both of them, they both though were on the same side about Bella. She quietly left the doorway and returned to Bella, seeing her sleeping. Rosalie sat down beside her and could continue to hear the conversation from the other room, but she didn't want to see any of them.

She was glad to see Bella was finally asleep, but she had a sting of jealousy. She was jealous that Bella was pregnant, that Bella was going to have what she had always wanted. But she pushed down her jealousies and knew that no matter what she'd be in the baby's life, that she'd be an Aunt and she wouldn't give that up for anything.

She heard walking behind her and looked over her shoulder, she was surprised to see Emmett. "How is she?.." He asked quietly so he would no wake up Bella.

"She's...managing..." Rosalie was speaking quietly too as she glanced at Bella.

A small sigh left Emmett, he'd been doing that a lot before he had something to say. Rosalie waited, putting her hands into her lap as she looked down at the ring she wore. "How could you?..." He asked her in an even voice.

"...I never had a choice, Bella has a choice on for everything, I won't take that from her." She said in the same tone of voice as before then went silent again.

"...That isn't what I meant Rose...how could you have feelings for him?" Emmett watched her closely while he frowned. "Did I do something wrong?" He added after a couple of seconds.

Rosalie remained silent as she collected her thoughts, that was an awful question to ask. "No Emmett..you did nothing wrong.." She trialed off quietly and sighed. She hadn't told Emmett that she had feelings for Jacob, but she figured that he either overheard her when she told Alice, or he could see it.

But it wouldn't surprise her if everyone could see it. "...I don't know how I could Emmett..."

"Yeah...me either..." Emmett added after her.

Jacob walked outside and paced back and forth, he could hear Rosalie and Emmett talking but he had no idea what to do. He was going to stay as much as he could to help with Bella but then after that he didn't know what to do. He may leave, depending on if Rosalie needs him or not.

He took a seat on the porch and looked out at the woods. This was going to be a long night.

Next:

"I know what his plan is."
