╰┈˚ · ° .    JEALOUSY. SUCH A BITTER AND AWFUL EMOTION. It was something that one couldn't help but feel and that sometimes could make you act in a way that sober minded you wouldn't have even dared to think about.

It was jealousy that had made Jacob shift and attack Rowan. We might have broken the impiting bond between Jacob and Maddison, but wolves were possessive. He had imprinted on her first, she had been his, and now, she was meant for someone else.

It was irrational, something that Jacob had sneered at once he had calmed down. Something that made him finally cut the last thread of his friendship with Maddison. And as much as that would have hurt her once, now it only saddened her, the thoughts of such a long friendship completely wasted away to nothing.

Maddison looked troubled by another imprint suddenly connecting her with another wolf. She had fallen asleep sobbing with fear that night, fear that her soul this time would crumble to ashes if anything would have to happen. And a black and white furred wolf, without her knowledge, had sat outside the window of my bedroom listening to her cry her tears as he whined into the night.

Two days later was the first time the two had looked at each other for the second time at the same time, and another day later, they spoke for the first time. Later she confessed to us girls that they had come to the agreement of remaining friends. She wasn't ready for anything else. Not yet.

It had finally arrived the day of the second and last meeting with the Cullens before the final battle. And as we trekked through the woods to reach the designated spot, the decision that had been taken the night before at the bonfire with the elders, echoed in my mind.

Carlisle Cullen and his family—plus Bella—were all already there when we arrived. They eyed the new wolf with distrust but masked the emotion as soon as it appeared.

"Thank you for coming again." Carlisle began, "the army will be here in a week time, there is no time to lose."

The training began once again between the family members and this time, the wolves mixed with them under the instructions of Jasper.

Hours later the girls and I sat atop of a car as the other trained when a chocolate brown wolf and a sandy colored one prowled towards us. Bella—who was with us reading a book—-noticed them first, and with a gasp, her fair skin bleached even more of any color.

I looked at the wolves, who I knew had done it to induce fear in the human girl—and as a joke between them—and rolled my eyes. "Stop it you two." I chuckled, jumping down from the hood of the car to meet the wolves halfway.

"Don't worry Bella. It's Quil and Seth." I heard Layla comfort the girl even going as long as to squeeze her hand with hers.

"What do you want?" I asked the two wolves passing my palm over Seth's snout as he started to push his head against the back of my hand.

"Sam told us to keep an eye on you girls." Seth said as he let out a rumble in his wolf's chest.

"And to ask you what was your plan for the fight." Quil quipped as he rubbed his body against Kim's hand.

"Right." I scoffed, I could see the dark silver and the chestnut wolf further away keeping an eye on us before moving their sight away when caught. "Tell Sam that he will know when the time is right."

"And to keep his wolf nose away from coven business." Snarked Amelia glaring in the direction of Leah's wolf that had her ears peeled to hear the conversation, even if it was happening in our heads.

"Go back to them and see how to fight these newborn vampires. I know you want to." I laughed slightly, leaving a kiss to the hyperactive wolf before returning back on the car's hood.

"I don't understand how you can act that way with them." Bella blurted out, not unkindly, just surprised. "I know that they are your friends but they still look-"

"I get it, they do look scary." Layla spoke next, "But we know them, I guess."

"Don't you hang around with people that want to drain you of your blood every second?" Amelia rebuked sharply. "The wolves at least do not wish to kill us."

Bella awkwardly cleared her throat looking quite chastised, "You are right, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, don't worry about it." Kim beamed her best smile.

Later on when the morning began to fall to night, the training day finally ended. "Thank you again for your collaboration. This means a lot to us, and we will not forget it."

We returned to our spots between the wolves, but there was still something to be said. "Before we go." I stopped the Clan leader from continuing, hoping that the nerves that I was feeling wouldn't translate in my tone, "If you want our help, we have a non-negotiable demand."

Carlisle looked taken aback, but he tried to cover it up quickly with one of his charismatic smiles, "Let's hear it, then."

I looked towards Sam, and he nodded back. "After the fight you will leave."

"What? That is not–"

I raised a hand to stop Bella from talking any further. "You will leave and you will never come back here to Forks. Not in this lifetime, not in the next. You will forget about this town altogether for as long as you live." My voice didn't leave anything up for debate. It was this or nothing.

"Another treaty will be signed for you to adhere to." Amelia continued, her tone like steel, "And if that will be broken, then there will be consequences. Even when we will not be alive anymore."

"As she said, this is not up for debate. You take this, and we fight together. Or you don't and we leave you to fight alone." Kim continued.

"You have to understand that as much as we would like to help you, we are risking our lives for this. Your presence in Forks is making teenagers phase. Seth is only 15 and we got voice of someone even younger being too close to trigger their shift. This has to stop."

"You have three days to decide."
