〃She's still human; Rosalie。 She needs food; too。 Let's give her a little while to see how this affects her; 
and then maybe we can try some food again。 Does anything sound particularly good to you; Bella?〃 

〃Eggs;〃 she said immediately; and then she exchanged a look and a smile with Edward。 His smile was 
brittle; but there was more life on his face than before。 

I blinked then; and almost forgot how to open my eyes again。 

〃Jacob;〃 Edward murmured。 〃You really should sleep。 As Bella said; you're certainly welcome to the 
accommodations here; though you'd probably be more comfortable outside。 Don't worry about anything 
—I promise 111 find you if there's a need。〃 

〃Sure; sure;〃 I mumbled。 Now that it appeared Bella had a few more hours; I could escape。 Go curl up 
under a tree somewhere。。。。 Far enough away that the smell couldn't reach me。 The bloodsucker would 
wake me up if something went wrong。 He owed me。 

〃I do;〃 Edward agreed。 

I nodded and then put my hand on Bella's。 Hers was icy cold。 

〃Feel better;〃 I said。 

〃Thanks; Jacob。〃 She turned her hand over and squeezed mine。 I felt the thin band of her wedding ring 
riding loose on her skinny finger。 

〃Get her a blanket or something;〃 I muttered as I turned for the door。 

Before I made it; two howls pierced the still morning air。 There was no mistaking the urgency of the 
tone。 No misunderstanding this time。 

〃Dammit;〃 I snarled; and I threw myself through the door。 I hurled my body off the porch; letting the fire 
rip me apart midair。 There was a sharp tearing sound as my shorts shredded。 Crap。 Those were the only 
clothes I had。 Didn't matter now。 I landed on paws and took off toward the west。 

What is it?I shouted in my head。 



                                                                                                               Page 151

Incoming;Seth answered。 At least three。 

Did they split up? 

I'm running the line back to Seth at the speed of lightLeah promised。 I could feel the air huffing through 
her lungs as she pushed herself to an incredible velocity。 The forest whipped around her。 So far; no 
other point of attack。 

Seth; donot challenge them。 Wait forme。 

They're slowing。 Ugh— its sooff not being able to hear them。 I think。。。 

What? 

I think they've stopped。 

Waiting for the rest of the pack? 

Shh。 Feel that? 

I absorbed his impressions。 The faint; soundless shimmer in the air。 

Someone's phasing? 

Feels like it;Seth agreed。 

Leah flew into the small open space where Seth waited。 She raked her claws into the dirt; spinning out 
like a race car。 

Got your back; bro。 

They're coming;Seth said nervously。 Slow。 Walking。 

Almost there;I told them。 I tried to fly like Leah。 It felt horrible being separated from Seth and Leah with 
potential danger closer to their end than mine。 Wrong。 I should be with them; between them and 
whatever was coming。 

Look who's getting all paternal;Leah thought wryly。 

Head in the game; Leah。 

Four;Seth decided。 Kid had good ears。 Three wolves; one man。 

I made the little clearing then; moving immediately to the point。 Seth sighed with relief and then 
straightened up; already in place at my right shoulder。 Leah fell in on my left with a little less enthusiasm。 

So now I rank under Seth;she grumbled to herself。 

First come; first served;Seth thought smugly。 'Sides; you were never an Alpha's Third before。 Still an 
upgrade。 



                                                                                                                 Page 152

Under my baby brother is not an upgrade。 

Shh!I complained。 / don't care where you stand。 Shut up and get ready。 

They came into view a few seconds later; walking; as Seth had thought。 Jared in the front; human; hands 
up。 Paul and Quil and Collin on four legs behind him。 There was no aggression in their postures。 They 
hung back behind Jared; ears up; alert but calm。 

But。。。 it was weird that Sam would send Collin rather than Embry。 That wasn't what I would do if I were 
sending a diplomacy party into enemy territory。 I wouldn't send a kid。 I'd send the experienced fighter。 

A diversion?Leah thought。 

Were Sam; Embry; and Brady making a move alone? That didn't seem likely。 

Want me to check? I can run the line and be back in two minutes。 

Should I warn the Cullens?Seth wondered。 

What if the point was to divide us?I asked。 The Cullens know something's up。 They're ready。 

Sam wouldn't be so stupid。。。;Leah whispered; fear jagged in her mind。 She was imagining Sam attacking 
the Cullens with only the two others beside him。 

No; he wouldn't;I assured her; though I felt a little sick at the image in her head; too。 

All the while; Jared and the three wolves stared at us; waiting。 It was eerie not to hear what Quil and 
Paul and Collin were saying to one another。 Their expressions were blank—unreadable。 

Jared cleared his throat; and then he nodded to me。 〃White flag of truce; Jake。 We're here to talk。〃 

Think it's true?Seth asked。 

Makes sense; but。。。 

Yeah;Leah agreed。 But。 

We didn't relax。 

Jared frowned。 〃It would be easier to talk if I could hear you; too。〃 

I stared him down。 I wasn't going to phase back until I felt better about this situation。 Until it made sense。 
Why Collin? That was the part that had me most worried。 

〃Okay。 I guess I'll just talk; then;〃 Jared said。 〃Jake; we want you to come back。〃 

Quil let out a soft whine behind him。 Seconding the statement。 

〃You've torn our family apart。 It's not meant to be this way。〃 




                                                                                                               Page 153

I wasn't exactly in disagreement with that; but it was hardly the point。 There were a few unresolved 
differences of opinion between me and Sam at the moment。 

〃We know that you feel。。。 strongly about the situation with the Cullens。 We know that's a problem。 But 
this is an overreaction。〃 

Seth growled。 Overreaction? And attacking our allies without warning isn't? 

Seth; you ever heard of a poker face? Cool it。 

Sorry。 

Jared's eyes flickered to Seth and back to me。 〃Sam is willing to take this slowly; Jacob。 He's calmed 
down; talked to the other Elders。 They've decided that immediate action is in no one's best interest at this 
point。〃 

Translation: They've already lost the element of surprise;Leah thought。 

It was weird how distinct our joint thinking was。 The pack was already Sam's pack; was already 〃them〃 
to us。 Something outside and other。 It was especially weird to have Leah thinking that way—to have her 
be a solid part of the 〃us。〃 

〃Billy and Sue agree with you; Jacob; that we can wait for Bella。。。 to be separated from the problem。 
Killing her is not something any of us feel comfortable with。〃 

Though I'd just given Seth crap for it;
