He nodded. “Yeah, I’m all right, baby. I’m just . . .” He sighed. No more lies. “No, I’m not. I’m sorry.
I really need to talk to you, and I’m nervous as fuck about it.”
Her eyes widened, and she took a step back. “What do you need to talk to me about?”
“It’s about me. I’m not breaking up with you if that’s what you’re afraid of. I swear I’m not.” He took
her hands and kissed her knuckles. “I just really need you to come with me and listen. Please,
baby?”
She swallowed and nodded. “Yeah, okay. Is everything going to be okay?”
He wished he could answer that. “I honestly don’t know, Ness.” He knew he’d do everything in his
power to keep her safe, no matter the cost. “What do you need to get ready?”
She looked down at herself. “I, um . . . I just need to get my shoes. Is it cold out?”
He couldn’t help but smirk. “For you, probably. Take a jacket just in case.”
She got her jacket out of the closet and stepped up to him. “Okay, I’m ready. Where are we going?”
He took her hand. “I figured we’d go to our meadow. It’s not that far away.”
“Sounds good.” She pushed away her nervousness and followed him out the door.
As they walked through the trees, Renesmee noted how pretty everything was in the bright sunlight.
She could hear the birds singing and various animals moving around in the woods. She took a step
closer to Jacob and rested her head on his arm over his tattoo. Jacob smiled down at her.
“It’s so beautiful out here,” she said peacefully. “So different from Chicago. The trees, the animals,
the sounds . . . it’s all so wonderful.”
Jacob rubbed her back. “It really is.” He bent to kiss her head. “Ness, do you believe me when I tell
you that I’ll never hurt you?”
She looked up at him skeptically. “Yes. Why?”
He sighed. “Because I don’t want you to be afraid of me. I would never do anything but love you. I
mean that, Ness. Everything I am—every trace of my heritage—exists to keep you safe. I need you to
understand that.”
They reached the meadow and walked in a few feet before they stopped and turned to each other.
He lifted her hands and kissed the back of them.
“I believe you, Jake, but I don’t understand why you think I don’t.”
He framed her face with his hands. “Because I don’t want you to be scared. All of my tribe’s legends
about the Shifters and the Bloodsuckers are true, Ness. I’m a Shifter.”
Her brow furrowed as she tried to take in what he’d just said. The words made sense, but she had a
hard time processing them. “What?”
