dreams more than once。 
    Now that I could see them all; match the vastness with each pair of eyes; it looked like more than ten。 The 
pack was overwhelming。 
    Out of the corner of my eye; I saw that Edward was watching me; carefully evaluating my reaction。 
    Sam approached Carlisle where he stood in the front; the huge pack right on his tail。 Jasper stiffened; but 
Emmett; on the other side of Carlisle; was grinning and relaxed。 
    Sam sniffed at Carlisle; seeming to wince slightly as he did。 Then he moved on to Jasper。 
    My eyes ran down the wary brace of wolves。 I was sure I could pick out a few of the new additions。 
There was a light gray wolf that was much smaller than the others; the hackles on the back of his neck raised 
in distaste。 There was another; the color of desert sand; who seemed gangly and uncoordinated beside the 
rest。 A low whine broke through the sandy wolf’s control when Sam’s advance left him isolated between 
Carlisle and Jasper。 
    I stopped at the wolf just behind Sam。 His fur was reddish…brown and longer than the others; shaggy in 
comparison。 He was almost as tall as Sam; the second largest in the group。 His stance was casual; somehow 

exuding nonchalance over what the rest obviously considered an ordeal。 
    The enormous russet…colored wolf seemed to feel my gaze; and he looked up at me with familiar black 
eyes。 
    I stared back at him; trying to believe what I already knew。 I could feel the wonder and fascination on my 
face。 
    The wolf’s muzzle fell open; pulling back over his teeth。 It would have been a frightening expression; 
except that his tongue lolled out the side in a wolfy grin。 
    I giggled。 
    Jacob’s grin widened over his sharp teeth。 He left his place in line; ignoring the eyes of his pack as they 
followed him。 He trotted past Edward and Alice to stand not two feet away from me。 He stopped there; his 
gaze flickering briefly toward Edward。 
    Edward stood motionless; a statue; his eyes still assessing my reaction。 
    Jacob crouched down on his front legs and dropped his head so that his face was no higher than mine; 
staring at me; measuring my response just as much as Edward was。 
    “Jacob?” I breathed。 
    The answering rumble deep in his chest sounded like a chuckle。 
    I reached my hand out; my fingers trembling slightly; and touched the red…brown fur on the side of his face。 
    The black eyes closed; and Jacob leaned his huge head into my hand。 A thrumming hum resonated in this 
throat。 
    The fur was both soft and rough; and warm against my skin。 I ran my fingers through it curiously; learning 
the texture; stroking his neck where the color deepened。 I hadn’t realized how close I’d gotten; without 
warning; Jacob suddenly licked my face from chin to hairline。 
    “Ew! Gross; Jake!” I complained; jumping back and smacking at him; just as I would have if he were 
human。 He dodged out of the way; and the coughing bark that came through his teeth was obviously laughter。 
    I wiped my face on the sleeve of my shirt; unable to keep from laughing with him。 
    It was at that point that I realized that everyone was watching us; the Cullens and the werewolves — the 
Cullens with perplexed and somewhat disgusted expressions。 It was hard to read the wolves’ faces。 I thought 
Sam looked unhappy。 
    And then there was Edward; on edge and clearly disappointed。 I realized he’d been hoping for a different 
reaction from me。 Like screaming and running away in terror。 
    Jacob made the laughing sound again。 
    The other wolves were backing away now; not taking their eyes off the Cullens as they departed。 Jacob 
stood by my side; watching them go。 Soon; they disappeared into the murky forest。 Only two hesitated by the 
trees; watching Jacob; their postures radiating anxiety。 
    Edward sighed; and — ignoring Jacob — came to stand on my other side; taking my hand。 
    “Ready to go?” he asked me。 
    Before I could answer; he was staring over me at Jacob。 
    “I’ve not quite figured out all the details yet;” he said; answering a question in Jacob’s thoughts。 
    The Jacob…wolf grumbled sullenly。 
    “It’s more complicated than that;” Edward said。 “Don’t concern yourself; I’ll make sure it’s safe。” 
    “What are you talking about?” I demanded。 
    “Just discussing strategy;” Edward said。 
    Jacob’s head swiveled back and forth; looking at our faces。 Then; suddenly; he bolted for the forest。 As 
he darted away; I noticed for the first time a square of folded black fabric secured to his back leg。 
    “Wait;” I called; one hand stretching out automatically to reach after him。 But he disappeared into the trees 
in seconds; the other two wolves following。 
    “Why did he leave?” I asked; hurt。 
    “He’s coming back;” Edward said。 He sighed。 “He wants to be able to talk for himself。” 
    I watched the edge of the forest where Jacob had vanished; leaning into Edward’s side again。 I was on the 
point of collapse; but I was fighting it。 
    Jacob loped back into view; on two legs this time。 His broad chest was bare; his hair tangled and shaggy。 
He wore only a pair of black sweat pants; his feet bare to the cold ground。 He was alone now; but I 

suspected that his friends lingered in the trees; invisible。 
     It didn’t take him long to cross the field; though he gave a wide berth to the Cullens; who stood talking 
quietly in a loose circle。 
     “Okay; bloodsucker;” Jacob said when he was a few feet from us; evidently continuing the conversation 
I’d missed。 “What’s so complicated about it?” 
     “I have to consider every possibility;” Edward said; unruffled。 “What if someone gets by you?” 
     Jacob snorted at that idea。 “Okay; so leave her on the reservation。 We’re making Collin and Brady stay 
behind anyway。 She’ll be safe there。” 
     I scowled。 “Are you talking about me?” 
     “I just want to know what he plans to do with you during the fight;” Jacob explained。 
     “Do with me?” 
     “You can’t stay in Forks; Bella。” Edward’s voice was pacifying。 “They know where to look for you there。 
What if someone slipped by us?” 
     My stomach dropped and the blood drained from my face。 “Charlie?” I gasped。 
     “He’ll be with Billy;” Jacob assured me quickly。 “If my dad has to commit a murder to get him there; he’ll 
do it。 Probably it won’t take that much。 It’s this Saturday; right? There’s a game。” 
     “This Saturday?” I asked; my head spinning。 I was too lightheaded to control my wildly random thoughts。 
I frowned at Edward。 “Well; crap! There goes your graduation present。” 
     Edward laughed。 “It’s the thought that counts;” he reminded me。 “You can give the tickets to someone 
else。” 
     Inspiration came swiftly。 “Angela and Ben;” I decided at once。 “At least that will get them out of town。” 
     He touched my cheek。 “You can’t evacuate everyone;” he said in a gentle voice。 “Hiding you is just a 
precaution。 I told you — we’ll have no problem now。 There won’t be enough of them to keep us entertained。” 
     “But what about keeping he
