Run For It

Jacob's POV

I was hoping to spend more time with Jade, but when I heard Embry calling so loudly outside of the house and then seeing him and Seth standing so close to the house, I just knew that there was something big going on. I couldn't just ignore them both when they were calling me, especially with Dan looking for Jade. None of us stayed in our wolf form so close to houses, even our own in case we got caught. That was the last thing I needed my pack getting caught, and yes, as you just read, it's my pack that I run with. I am the Alpha now. Sam gave me the title a few years back, before he went to New Zealand to live. I don't know what ever happen between him and Emily, but neither of them talk about each other anymore. But I can't say that I miss Sam that much. He's still a friend to me, a second father, but now that I am the Alpha, I don't feel like I need him as much... And speaking of which, Sam had gotten caught over and over when she first changed, back when Bella was human, but he was black and looked like a giant black bear, letting him off the hook soon as anyone seen him, but me not so much, I'm russet so I do look like a wolf, just like the others.

Just thinking of Bella and how she used to be human, made me upset. Knowing that she was a vampire and knowing that her human memories of her spending time with me were more than likely disappeared long ago, but I would never forget them. I still loved her, too much to how I should because she's married to the stinking leech that killed her, married her and took her away from me all together. I never wanted to see Edward again, I don't know what would happen if I did see him again. I don't think I would have enough control to stop myself from taking him all together. I couldn't understand how I still loved Bella, when I loved Jade also. I guess it's just another Leah, Emily, Sam, romance. Something I never wanted to get into, but at least Bella didn't love me, it made things a little easier. I wished I knew if Jade cared for me the way I cared for her. With Bella, it had been so easy for me to tell that she also cared for me, before she was a vampire. I just didn't get enough time with her so she would have picked me over that leech. If I just had another month with her before he came back, I could have made her happy, made her safe and kept her human.

I let the heat run down my back of my inner wolf threatening to come out like I was wanting it to. My eyes closed as I felt the change come over me and I looked up to see Seth and Embry in front of me. Seth's sandy coat was dripping wet down his side, like he had been out for hours on end. Embry's dark grey and black coat looked drier than Seth's, but not by much.

'What's going on?' I asked, looking up to Jade's window, glad that she wasn't looking outside now that the rain was easing a little.

'Leah and Paul are tracking Dan and another's scent east of La Push. He seems different from the others Jacob. Stronger,' Embry told him. Jacob looked to Seth while listening to his best friend, seeing that Seth was exhorted. He looked back to Embry swiftly when he heard the last part.

'Volturi?' I questioned.

'Maybe. But I don't think that he would be acting like he is if he was one of them.'

I nodded, looking back to Seth. 'Go home if you're tired Seth.'

He looked up to me, a little surprised that I was letting me off when we did sort of need him. But he was no good to anyone as tired as he looked and was. 'Thanks Jake.'

Both Embry and I watched as he turned his back on us and ran towards his home. I smiled for a second watching him, thinking how respectful Seth was to us for his age of just seventeen. I wasn't even as disciplined as he was at that age, nor was I that respectful or devoted to been a werewolf. Far from it actually...

My ears picked up hearing a crake of thunder in the distance and then I looked up to the sky, seeing another fork of lightning crake through the darkened clouds above us and snaked through past us and towards the mountains of La Push. I looked to Embry shocked to the weather we were getting. I hadn't ever seen a storm like this before.
