When it came to Jacob getting off patrol he didn't waste any time as he hurriedly made his way to Sue's Diner, eager to see his mate and make sure she was all right. He knew that she was still upset with him, a thought which made his wolf whine and whimper, but he also had some idea of how he was going to make it up to her.

He was going to stop seeing Bella.

Surprisingly the thought wasn't one which caused him any pain in the slightest, and while the thought of losing Bella was something he wasn't keen on, if it came down to her or his mate then there was no competition. He knew he had to fix this with his Brooke and he wasn't going to be taking any chances for his mate to be even more upset with him. He could take angry, but even the thought of her not liking him anymore wasn't acceptable.

"You seem deep in thought, mate."

Glancing at Paul as he said in the passenger side of his truck Jacob shrugged. "Just thinking."

Paul snorted, "now that's a change."

Taking a hand off the wheel Jacob delivered a hard punch to Pauls shoulder, it packing enough force that if he was a human he would have broken Pauls arm without a second thought.

"Fucker!" Paul scowled as he rubbed the bruise which lasted less than a second. "I'll tell Brooke," he smirked causing Jacob to roll his eyes, but even so he couldn't help but smile.

"Is that before or after I tell her that your frustrated with her not helping you more with your mate?" he raised a brow causing Paul to sneer.

"You had better fucking not!" he snapped.

Jacob could see how much this was playing on his best mate, how Brooke had made it clear, even if hadn't been intentionally that Paul wouldn't be ending up alone like he had always believed. He had to wait but it was starting to take its toll on his pack brother with having to wait for her, to not be able to take control of the situation. Like he said, he didn't blame him.

"Why don't you just ask her?" Jacob glanced in his direction.

Paul scowled. "Because she's already got enough on her plate, and because of your leech lover that problem happens to be a fucking war."

"Bella is not mine," Jacob spoke calmingly.

Paul snorted. "Not yours huh?" he raised a brow. "You'd better not be messing around with her Jacob, because if you do I will-"

"I love Brooke" Jacob snapped. "Brooke is mine, and don't fucking threaten me!"

The rest of the ride was somewhat silent as both wolves were lost in their thoughts, Jacob's on how he was going to go about explaining his plan to try and cut Bella out of his life while Paul was debating on whether or not to ask Brooke about his mate. He wanted to know, he needed to know, but with this war coming about he didn't want to put any more pressure on her then was necessary.
