A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! I ONLY OWN THIS PLOT! I'm co-writing this with Elena Rain. She wrote this ending chapter. I hope you enjoyed this story. Thanks for all the reviews, alerts, and favorites! Enjoy this last chapter.
The White Wolf Council, the most feared council of them all. They were deadly, dangerous and they cared for no one. Those on the council were loyal to each other out of fear. It was a pretty bad place to be sent to and those who needed to be punished went there. Today's punishment was for a young wolf named Jacob Black. His crimes were bad involving abuse of a young woman, misuse of powers, lying, cheating, invasion of privacy, kidnapping and much more.
A large white wolf council member was now in a room with Jacob. Jacob was shackled and held in place by five other council members. It was a tough job to get Jacob to come to the council but they finally found a solution. Wolfsbane. As its name clearly tells us, this plant isn't exactly wolf friendly; in fact, it is a very deadly poison. When mixed with bait and eaten by a wolf, or even put on arrowheads, knives, swords… etc. and then fired or stabbed into the animal's body, this toxin is fatal. When ingested, wolfsbane makes a werewolf weak.
The strength of the wolfsbane' apparently depends on its dose. When touched to the skin of a werewolf it burned like fire, burning the skin layer by layer until the wolfsbane was removed. Luckily Jacob learned quickly and it was only small burns. He was sedated by it of course; he was forced to drink diluted wolfsbane which was like drinking battery acid. The members of the clan had loved hearing him scream and beg to stop.
The man called Hunter walked over to Jacob with a big thick black collar in his hand. The collar had very large needles poking from the inside of the collar. Weighing more than eleven pounds, this collar was fastened around Jacob's neck and rested on his shoulders. Jacob was a werewolf and there wasn't anything anyone could do to change that but they could stop him from transforming.
Originally, the collar was used for the torture of prisoners, at times it became the means of execution as the abrasions and piercings became infected with gangrene and the victim lapsed into eventual coma. Today it was used on Jacob to keep him from transforming; the collar would do him no harm as a human but if he dares to transform the needles would pierce his neck killing him instantly.
He had received his punishment and he was allowed to leave, to live his life as a human, the thing he had taunted and hurt so badly.
"Morning Angel" Edward told her as he kissed her forehead.
Bella blushed softly and whispered "Morning" She loved waking up in his arms and gazed into his eyes lovingly.
Edward smiled and tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear. "You are so beautiful."
"Ugh, no. I have morning breath and my hair is probably a mess."
"You are an angel my Bella, so beautiful and I love you."
"I love you too." She blushed brightly and smiled innocently.
"Do you have any plans for the day angel?"
"I do actually."
"Oh really? What would that be?"
"I want to spend the day with my loving, caring, boyfriend Edward Cullen"
Edward chuckled and nodded "That is a wonderful plan angel. Where would you like to go?"
"Can we go to the meadow again? I don't know why but I feel safe there. Maybe it is where you exposed yourself to me the first time."
"What are you talking about?"
"When you pulled me up to the top of the mountain and started showing me your powers and then you walked into the sun…" She trailed off knowing that he knew what she was talking about.
"Alright, alright we can go to the meadow."
Bella squealed happily and hugged him tightly and before she knew it they were at the meadow. Bella tackled him to the ground and he rolled over her but she refused to be on bottom. She quickly flipped him over knowing that she wouldn't be able to flip him unless he allowed her to. She then leaned down and kissed him before whispering "It's the tickle monster" and she ran her fingers up and down his sides. There was no laughter from Edward and she frowned "not fair." She sighed and rolled over so she was lying next to him and then poked his side. Still no laughter. "Edward!" she groaned but giggled as she saw his amused face.
Edward was about to say something to her but he caught a scent of someone he didn't think he would ever smell again. It was Jacob and he had a shirt on and a rather large collar. "Oh does the doggy want a bone? I know your collar keeps you human Jacob now go away before I seriously do some damage."
"I am not here for you bloodsucker, I came for Bella."
"Bella isn't yours anymore Jacob. You didn't imprint her."
"Wha? How did you find out?"
"You can't imprint on someone who doesn't love you back. You already knew that didn't you…"
"I don't know what you're talking about…"
"Whatever… just get out of here before you make me angry"
"I am not afraid of you."
"I broke your bones and I won't hesitate to do it again."
"I am not leaving until I see Bella" and just as that was said Bella peaked out from behind Edward.
"What do you want with me Jacob?"
"I just wanted to say hello."
"Hello, now good bye."
"Not quite beautiful, I am not finished with you yet." As those words were spoken she heard a familiar swooshing sound as Edward disappeared. "Edward?" she asked the air wondering where he just went. Why would he leave her alone with Jacob?
"Anyway… You and I have some unfinished busi-" he was cutoff as his arms were grabbed from behind his back and he was forced into a tight choke hold. "What the…?"
"Bella he can't hurt you anymore. He is weaker than a tiny kitten. Come on and show him how angry you are."
"I can't hurt him Edward, I can't. I will be no better than he is."
"You can show him how strong you are."
"I won't hit him." She had moved closer to the boys just watching carefully incase either one attacked.
"Bella just hit him, you will feel better."
"No Edward I can't."
Edward knew it wasn't going to work so he had to try something different. "Fine, don't hit him. You don't have to. I won't force you into anything. You are my girlfriend and I don't want to hurt you."
"Thank you…"
"I understand, he only kidnapped you and took you away from your friends and family"
Bella growled softly under her breath knowing where he was going. "Edward don't do this…"
"Do what Bella? He kidnapped you and played mind games with you forcing you to do things you didn't want to do."
Bella let out a small whimper and held her head. She didn't want to think about what Jacob did to her. She didn't want to let go, she just wanted to forget. She didn't want to face him, she just couldn't.
"Bella he lied to you and abused you beyond repair, let this be your repair. Show him that he can't hurt you anymore. He hurt you, forced himself on you. Made you burn everything you had that was mine. He was going to try and erase me from your life."
Bella couldn't take it anymore "STOP!" she screamed angrily as she surged forward and punched Jacob in the chest.
"Is that all you got Bella?" he taunted her only adding to what Edward had said earlier.
Bella screamed in anger, hitting him relentlessly in the chest arms and legs. "You won't hurt me again, you filthy stupid dog." She reared up and kicked him in between the legs and grinned as he slumped to the floor. "No Jacob I do not love you." She kicked him again in the stomach.
"No Jacob I am not afraid of you anymore." She kicked him again hard. "No, I never want you to imprint on me! I do still want to be a vampire and live with Edward." She kneed him in the face and watched as Edward no longer had to hold him still he was almost a bloody pulp.
"You will not hurt me again Jacob. I am with Edward and nothing is going to change that."
Edward was in shock and he knew Bella would be to. He swiftly moved over to her and wrapped his arm around her. "It is over Bella, its over. He can't hurt you anymore. You did it."
Bella shook in his arms hiding her face in his chest and she let out a small cry. It really was over. Jacob wasn't going to touch her anymore. She could finally be happy.
Edward was rubbing her back soothing her but his hand twitched
Edward you need to get to the hospital now!
What's wrong Alice? Alice? Alice?
Edward looked to Bella and sighed "We need to go now. Something about the hospital."
"I hope Charlie is alright…"
"We will never know until we get there…" He picked her up and carried her out of the meadow and into the hospital. He set her down right outside Charlie's room. "I am right behind you Bella."
She opened the door and slowly looked in expecting the worst but gasped as she heard a familiar voice "Hey Bells"
"Dad!" she rushed over to him hugging him tightly. "I am so sorry Dad, so sorry." She mumbled over and over as she looked into his face.
"It is my fault Bella, I should have believed you from the beginning. I heard that Jacob was punished and everything is right again."
"Yes dad Jacob was punished, he won't hurt me anymore."
"That's my girl." He looked over to the door and saw Edward standing still and quiet. "Edward I would like a word with you."
"Sir…" he moved closer to his bedside.
"Edward I just want to thank you. You didn't listen to me."
"I am a bit confused…"
"You went and saved Bella on your own when I was being stubborn and I want to thank you for that. My daughter deserves the best and I am beginning to see that you are good for her. "
"Thank you sir…"
"You're welcome son…"
"Son…" he whispered quietly.
"That is my dad's way of saying welcome to the family…" she hugged him close and kissed his cheek. "I love you..."
"I love you too"
"Alright you two, save it for later."
Edward coughed and said "yes sir…"
They stayed with Charlie until the nurse came in and kicked them out.
"Edward what happened?"
"What happened with what?"
"My father… he was in a coma and there was no telling when he would come out of it. The next thing we know…. He's alive and kick'n"
"While you were talking to your father I had asked the nurse what happened. She said that he just woke up out of the blue an hour ago."
"What does that mean?"
"I don't know Bella, but your father is fine now and everything is back to normal. Except Charlie doesn't hate me that much anymore…" He chuckled and wrapped his arms around Bella. "You did it Bella, you faced your fears and conquered Jacob and you saved your father. He woke up out of his coma when you finally faced your fears"
"Edward that can't be it…"
"You never know Bella… it very well could have been."
"But…but how?"
"Magic…"
"Edward magic isn't real."
"When you were younger and before we met did you ever believe in vampires?"
Bella blushed shaking her head.
"See, so who knows you very well could have been the reason your father woke up."
Bella just shrugged, maybe she was the reason, and maybe she wasn't. She'd never know. All that mattered was that she was officially free. She could go on with her life, marry Edward, and be turned into a vampire and spend the rest of her life with the man she loves. Jacob couldn't hurt her anymore; she no longer had to live her life in fear. Jacob went from a lone attacking wolf to nothing but a mere pathetic human being.
