Bella? Is that you?

Chapter 8

I looked at Alice, and oh crap, she's pissed. She was glaring at him, and I felt something pretty intense coming from her. She was pretty close to either taking his head off or embedding him in something.

Jake just looked at me, trying to understand what he had just seen. Well, he did interrupt us kissing.

"Bella, what the Hell is this?"

And Alice slams him against a tree. I can't say I'm surprised, really. I shook my head, walking over to them. He was ............. Well, shocked, obviously. But, it didn't stop him from glaring at Alice.

I just leaned against a tree, watching them. Alice wanted to have some fun with him, and I didn't think I'd be able to stop her, no matter how much I wanted to.

After several threats about attacking me, which I will never repeat, she punched him. He tried to fight, but she just bet the crap out of him. His jaw was messed up and so was his back. When he tried to grab her, I grabbed him, and slammed him into another tree. He could see why I had reacted the way I did, and he didn't like it.

He looked at her, glaring. She didn't flinch, she just stared at him.

"No. That can't be-"

I slammed him against the tree again. And he groaned, he was going to be pretty sore by the time I was finished with him.

"It is. You wanted it to be you. But, it's not. It's her. You try and hurt her again and .......... Well, you've seen what happens when I lose my temper. And you don't want that directed at you, do you?"

He didn't, I knew he didn't. It wasn't something you wanted to see.

He shook his head, and looked at me. He was obviously in pain. His back had bothered him, ever since he had gotten hurt a few years before. Not that I really cared. He's tried to hurt my imprint, and he wasn't going to get away with it.

"Bella, I just-"

"No, Jake. You wanted me to be with you, and when I said no, you had the others attack me. Alice found me, and I imprinted."

He glared at her, and tried to fight against me. I punched him, and I'm pretty sure I broke his jaw. It didn't hurt me that much, but it obviously hurt him. He groaned, holding his jaw.

"You can't say she didn't warn you."

I looked at Alice, who was watching Jake. He looked up at her, but didn't say anything. She looked over at me, and I could still feel anger coming from her, but she was also worried about me. She looked down at my hand, but I shook my head, and she seemed to relax a little.

I shook my head, watching him. He was just looking at me, his back and jaw hurting him.

"Jake, you shouldn't have made them made attack me. I didn't imprint on you, I imprinted on Alice. There's nothing anyone can do about it."

He looked at Alice, and back at me.

"Understand?"

He nodded, watching me. He was afraid I was going to lose my temper, and didn't want to have that directed at him.

I let him go, but still stayed in between the 2 of them. I was pretty close to losing it. He slumped against the tree, which now had the shape of Jake embedded in it.

He didn't say anything, he just looked at me. I know he heals pretty quick, but that's going to hurt a hell of a lot until it does.

"Good. Now, get out of here before I really lose it."

Alice seemed surprised that I was letting him go. But, I didn't want the pack, which consisted of 11 wolves, now that Leah and I had left, to attack.
