Legend of the White Wolf || Jacob Black x Oc

Chapter 10: Truths

Wind whipped around the pure white fur that covered your body, trees passing you quickly, almost as if they weren't even there and the stench of the redhead burning in your nose. Hunting her had been the only thing keeping you sane that last couple of days and now she was close enough that you could just about sink your teeth into her. She was fast and smart, not like the other one, but you had barley been in human form and the beast within you had pretty much taken over at this point. The pack was close by and as usual, you were out of their sights. Not much had changed since you had challenged your mother... you had kept to the rules, despite what you really wanted. You knew they were put in place way before your mother and for good reason. Your job was to be their protector and the rule was not put in place to protect The White Wolf, like you had thought or were led to believe. You realized in your days of being in wolf form, that the rule was to protect the pack. If they knew who you were it would break the illusion of the magical being they believed The White Wolf to be and they would be more likely to risk themselves if something happened to you, but that being said... you had been more reckless the past few days and you weren't as careful about being hidden as before. You made the choice to be more involved in hunting the vampire this time. You were faster than the pack and stealthier; your feet almost making no noise when they hit the ground, the vampire wouldn't be expecting you and you couldn't risk this one getting away.

"She's got Harry!" You heard Jacob call out and one quick sniff confirmed it. You could smell her near Harry and Charlie as well. Jake pounced on her, knocking her away and causing her to drop Harry to the ground. You knew you had to cut her off soon... Jake was fast, but she was faster and if you didn't do it now, she'd be gone. Just as Jacob charged and Victoria jumped easily over him, you ran out, trapping her between you and him. You let out a low growl and snapped at her. You watched as the vamp tilted her head curiously at you... she seemed almost intrigued by you. Quickly you lunged at her, but she jumped over you with ease, just like she had with Jacob. You cursed at yourself, feeling like an idiot. She was trapped it should have worked... but you quickly realized why it hadn't. You were right in front of Jacob and his eyes were locked onto your own and it almost felt like world had frozen around you... This is the first time he had seen the eyes of the White Wolf. When the pack saw you for the first time, you had been too far away for him to notice... plus you had the power to turn them a grey color to protect your identity, but in your carelessness you had forgotten. Shit. You didn't have time to deal with this matter... the vampire couldn't get away. You whipped around and chased after the bloodsucker once more... the pack now close behind you.

Victoria was getting close to the cliffs... she was going to jump and you wouldn't be able to follow her into the water below, not in wolf form. This was your last chance. You lunged at her one more time, grabbing the edge of her jacket. It pulled her back and caught her off guard for a second, but it wasn't enough... She was able to slip out of it with ease and continued her dive into the water below. Dammit. You cursed in frustration. Jacob slid to a stop right beside you, before jumping onto a farther part of the cliff so that he could look over. "She's gone" He snarled in defeat before looking over to you. You slowly look over at him, your eyes still clear as day; One Blue, One Golden... confirming he hadn't imagined it earlier. If your heart wasn't already racing from running, it was now. "We can talk about this later...you see if you can continue tracking her... I'll go bring this to Sam" You connect your line of thoughts to him, now only he could hear you in wolf form. No response. You turn to leave, but stop for a moment "and please... don't tell the pack... they can't know... not yet" you whimper. He gives you a small nod. You start to leave again, but that's when you hear the howl... Harry Clearwater was dead.

------------

After bringing the jacket to Sam in wolf form and making sure to grey your eyes this time, you shift back into human form out of sight and rushed over to Harry's place as fast as you could. Sam and the others were already there, doing whatever they could to help. You joined them, doing whatever was asked of you. Once it started getting later, you couldn't help but notice Jacob hadn't shown up at all. "Sam, do you know where Jacob is?" You asked him softly, while staring at the door "He went to go take Bella home" Sam replied, somewhat carefully, unsure how'd you would respond. He knew how close you were to Jacob, just by observation. "Oh..." You respond before getting quiet again and going back to helping, using it now as a mental distraction. Sam kept an eye on you for the rest of the night. He could feel that something was off with you, that something had changed. You weren't the same girl he had met before. Luckily the night went easy- well, as easy as preparing for a funeral was and you seemed fine for the most part...other than being completely emotionless.
