A Twilight fanfiction novel - SheeWolf85

They fought tremendously, Taha Aki unable to forgive. He could not listen when Yaha Uta tried to
reason with him. He was beyond logic. Yaha Uta realized that this was not a fight that could be won.
Even if he relented, Taha Aki would not stop until he was dead. Yaha Uta was the stronger Shifter,
and he killed his father.
“He was not proud to take his place as Chief and Alpha. Over time, although the memories never
faded, the pain did. Yaha Uta swore to protect the Quileute lands and people from the demon
creatures. It is an oath we still honor today.”
Billy fell silent. Renesmee glanced around, looking at each face illuminated by the fire. She shivered
and pushed herself further into Jacob’s side. The story had not relieved her fear, only heightened it.
Jacob kissed his imprint’s head with a sigh. “Are you okay?” he whispered. He could smell her fear
and feel her trembling.
She shivered again and shook her head. She was sure it was only her imagination, but the feeling
around the fire was mythical. If she let herself get carried away, she could almost believe she really
was in the presence of werewolves. It was almost enough to make her move away from Jacob. She
repeated over and over in her mind that she was safe and it was all just a story. Every sound she
heard made her heart jump, especially if it came from behind her. She could only imagine the
bloodthirsty creatures from the story—she shivered again as she thought of them—creeping up on
her.
Conversations began to rise through the group. Jacob rubbed Renesmee’s back and kissed her
head again. “I’m sorry.”
She shrugged and pulled back. She didn’t see how he thought the stories would change how she felt
about werewolves. If anything, she was more afraid of them now. She looked up at him and sighed.
“I think I should go home, Jake.”
His heart fell. He should have expected it. He wanted her to stay with him longer. “Are you sure?
There’ll be some other things going on.”
She looked around again and saw Seth and Quil laughing together. Something in their faces made
her shiver. She saw Embry, and the same thing happened. It was silly, because they hadn’t
changed, but she could swear there was something there. It made her heart race, and it was a little
harder to breathe. She rubbed her arms and looked back up at Jacob. For a moment, she thought
she might scream. She imagined what it would be like if Jacob turned into a wolf before her.
She stood up. “I need to go home.” Her voice was thin.
Jacob nodded and stood up with her. As they said their goodbyes, Jacob ignored the questioning
looks his pack gave him.
“I’m sorry I frightened you,” Billy said as he shook Renesmee’s hand.
She shrugged. “It’s not your fault. I’m sorry I’m such a wuss.”
Billy smiled. “In time.” He looked at his son pointedly. “In time.”
Jacob nodded.
