*A Wattpad exclusive story* *Unique plot* *Not a typical werewolf rejection story* ~ What Jacob has made her into? How is she to fight the beasts and save her people when she's herself one! ~ "You're my mate, and you know I can't let you go, Belle," Jacob's voice, his breaths were soon fanning down the back of her neck, signaling that he had stepped much closer to her again. "We can't let you go. You're our precious princess..., we can't live without you. I love you, Belle, we all love you!" Jacob's breath tickling across the back of her neck made her shudder in pleasure. This uncontrollable sense of pleasure, warmth, and... love, all made her want to stay back, forget yet again what she had just remembered, and go back to the days she didn't have her memories - her past. "I want to stay," was her slow murmur. Jacob breathed in relief, almost. Because her next words then crashed him down, completely. "But... I can't, because you don't lie to who you call your precious, Jacob. You don't lie to who you love." Her voice was back to cold again and so was her resolve. Holding her arm frantically, Jacob whirled her around to face him. "I can give you anything," he looked desperate and on the brink of insanity. "I will give you anything, do everything that you tell me to, just name it." Kristin didn't jerk away from his hold this time, she looked at him searching, calculating. All in a freezing way. "Then I ask you to let me go." He knew this was the final nail of this coffin, the coffin that would hold his love. Infinite howls echoed around in the woods, as the pack grieved, for their only girl - who'd, at last, remembered her past and rejected the life they gave her. She would leave them, and they knew their world would never be the same again. But they had yet to discover that from the ashes now something momentous shall rise. ''

I trailed more and more inaudibly, my fingers fidgeting a bit nervously. "What didn't you tell him ma'am?" she asked in a tone that sounded both worried and intrigued.
