Only Time Will Tell

Chapter 15

A/N: Okay.... so... I totally forgot I had a wattpad account. As I don't usually post here or even read fandoms here. So I totally forgot to update this story on this site while I was writing. Soooooo.... mass update of chapter coming up!

Edward doesn't know what he just saw.

One moment he was seconds away from being pushed into the sea to drown and his boyfriend was probably about to be killed soon after him and then the next he hears a loud roar and screaming. He's pulled up in rush just in time to see an impossibly large wolf slash at the chest of one of the men who had attacked them.

Edward's first instinct was to get away as far and as fast as possible when he saw it but that thought was quickly interrupted by a much more important one.

'Where is Jacob?'

Edward's eyes searched rapidly for his partner. Unconcerned for the screams of pain from the men who'd just tried to kill them both. His heart was a light with new fear when he didn't see Jacob anywhere. He knew for certain that Jacob would never leave him at the mercy of these men or a wolf so his mind went to the only conclusion it could. That Jacob had been hurt by either these men or the wolf currently attacking them.

Who Edward's attention was back on when he saw it rip the leg off one of the sailors. Edward reluctantly let Jacob slip from his mind and looked down at the rope tying his hands and feet together trying to think of how to get out of them. He needed to escape fast before the wolf noticed him. He couldn't exactly look for Jacob if he got eaten.

He saw the wolf had all the men cornered now and felt his own anxiety rise knowing he'd be next when the wolf was done. In the process of trying to sit up he accidently hit something behind himself making a small clanking sound. The wolf immediately turned to him because of it letting out a horrifying growl and baring it's blood stained teeth at him. Edward felt his heart skip a beat and not in the pleasant way. He briefly thought for a second, he was going to have a heart attack. But just as fast as the wolf had turned his way it turned back to the men and snarled at them.

And then something happened that Edward would never be able to forget from the rest of his life. The wolf lowered itself a little and let out one final deep rumble before it began to shrink and it's hair retract. It's body shifted, broke, and reformed itself. The process was slow and painful looking. The sound of bones shifting could be heard even from how far Edward was.

But none of that was what drew his eye. What did was who exactly the wolf was turning into. Edward would know who that was no matter how far or from what angle he was looking at them. The wolf had turned into Jacob.

His Jacob

Somehow the information wasn't hard to accept. When he got over his initial fear and disbelief he felt like everything that ever confused him about Jacob before finally made sense. From the very first day they met Edward had always known their was something really different about Jacob. With every new thing he presented that thought strengthened itself and became harder and harder to ignore or explain away.

The moment he saw the wolf turn into Jacob he felt relief and clarity along with all his other rush of emotions. He finally had an explanation to everything. It was like having an itch on your back you could never reach finally be soothed.

But now that Edward did know, he realized he never really wanted to. Ignorance truly was bliss.

"If I ever see any of you again I will eat all of you alive!"

Jacob's voice pulled him from his thoughts. His face twisted in disgusted as soon as he registered Jacob's words.

He wouldn't really eat them, would he? Of course he wouldn't, He know's Jacob would never do something like that. However... clearly he didn't really know Jacob at all.
