A Twilight fanfiction novel - SheeWolf85

“Jake?”
He turned to look at her. Just as she took a breath, the wind blew the scent of a Bloodsucker past
his nose. His ears flattened against his head and he growled. Whatever she needed would have to
wait. He sniffed the air and scanned the trees, listening intently. Renesmee’s heartbeat had sped
up; she caught his reaction to something around him. He heard her close the window and lock it,
then her footsteps as she all but ran to her bed. He finally caught the sight of a blurred figure in the
trees and took off after it.
He caught up quickly and was disappointed to see black hair. He had hoped it was the other one.
Once he got close enough, he launched himself at it, gripping its shoulder as they landed. It reached
around with its free arm and clawed him across the face. Jacob lost his grip and yelped. The
Bloodsucker wheeled around, wrapping an arm around Jacob’s leg and twisting, snapping the bone
easily. Jacob howled in pain and sunk his teeth into the Bloodsucker’s leg. He lifted it up and
slammed it against the ground, using his paw to hold it down.
What’s going on? Embry asked. He’d heard his alpha howl and was the first to shift. He saw through
Jacob’s eyes what had happened and calmed down. A broken leg was nothing, but it was painful.
He was about to shift back when the Bloodsucker twisted again and bit Jacob just above the broken
bone. Oh, shit. He ran to help his alpha.
Between the two Shifters, the Bloodsucker didn’t stand a chance. It was in pieces within minutes.
They both shifted after all the pieces had been collected. Embry started the fire as Jacob inspected
his arm.
“You need to go see Sue about that,” Embry said. “Get it taken care of.” A bite from a Bloodsucker
was the only thing that could really harm a Shifter. It was similar to a human being bitten by a
venomous snake or spider; if left untreated, it would spread and continue to weaken them until it
finally killed them. Seth’s mother was a medicine woman and had been taught by her grandmother
how to treat the Shifters’ wounds.
Jacob shook his head after he’d set the bone. “No, I need to get back to Ness.”
Embry looked up, shocked. “What? No. Go see Sue and get that fixed.”
Jacob bristled. “Who’s the alpha here?”
Embry laughed without humor. “Who’s the idiot? Let me go, I’ll keep an eye on Ness. I’m not letting
you kill yourself like this for her.”
“I’m fine.”
“You’re not fine. You were bitten. Get your ass out of here now, Jake. I don’t give a fuck that you’re
my alpha, I’m telling you to go.”
Jacob took a step closer. “Back off.”
Embry rolled his eyes. “All right, fine. Have it your way, Jacob. Go back to her and let the venom eat
you alive so you can’t do shit for her when he finally does show up. What a fucking great idea.” He
shifted and shook himself off before he sat down and stared intently at the fire.
