No, I don't think he feels badly at all. If he did feel badly, he wouldn't do it. He'd control himself. And, shut up! he scolded, not meaning to hurt her feelings or any of that nonsense. You're not the worst werewolf ever. Seriously. You can't help it. Don't worry about it, Adriana. I'm the pack leader and I say it's okay, he thought, as if he had any real say in the matter. But, hey, if it made her feel better....
You should cut your hair, Jacob said wisely. He wasn't being rude - Adriana's hair was nice... but it was too long. Everything would be a lot easier for you if you cut it. I won't be surprised if your hair looks like a rats nest when you form back into a human. Jake listened. He was surprised by her knowledge, but he was also wary of it. We'll have to act on your knowledge soon, then. We can't let them get too out of control. Jake was not going to screw around - he was going to protect his pack and his tribe.

Adriana sighed. She could tell she wasn't going to do any good in arguing against him tonight. Someday, Jake would fall for someone like Sam fell for Emily. And then, he'd have to agree. All this she hid from him--it wouldn't do any good for him to know about it now.
When he scolded she jumped a little, startled at the sharpness of his voice. Thanks Jake, but I know it goes against nature. I'll try and figure it out, but in the end, it's all up to Sam, right? He wasn't pack leader yet, Sam was currently in charge {if only our sam hadn't quit  } until Jake got his bearings. She playfully whined when he mentioned cutting her hair. Yeah, I s'pose. But it'll be dead useful someday, I bet...getting lost in a blizzard or something. She gave a lopsided doggy grin. His authoritative tone about her knowledge of the other vampires was surprising...she could see the leader in him, see how it would work out. It was intriguing, how the werewolf gene brought out the characteristics they'd end up with, instead of the characteristics they currently had as fledging teenagers. She nodded. I don't like the idea of 'acting' on it...it only matters if they're fighting against us. With Dimitri, that might be an issue. With Victoria, I don't even think she knows we exist. Her sole goal is elimination of the Cullens, maybe expansion of her hunting grounds. If they go against us, I'll fight them. But I'm not starting any wars. I just want you to know that.

[oops - I didn't know that we had a Sam!]
Jacob growled. Screw what Sam says. I'm tired of him and his stupid tribe pride and whatever. Jacob still thought of Sam as the goody good who the tribal council liked too much. Jacob, before, had stayed away from Sam at all costs. Jacob, since he had changed, hadn't even seen Sam at all. He wasn't happy with Sam at the current moment. When are you going to get lost in a blizzard? Jacob asked, rolling his wolfy eyes. It was just too funny to even think about getting lost in a blizzard. Sure, it snowed here... but Jacob wouldn't consider any of that a blizzard. He also couldn't see Adriana going off to look for a blizzard. That'd just be awful and borderline suicidal. I understand. But we would need to act if that Victoria character goes after the Cullens... not because I like them, but because that would mean she's going to be hunting humans in our area. That would be too dangerous, he stated, sure of himself.
Jacob understood what needed to be done and how to get it done. He would be a good leader.

Adriana thought for a second. I think, for all intensive purposes, we should count the Cullens as our allies. Not because of personal feeling, just because they have agreed to abide by our rules and for the past century have done so well. Victoria is hunting. Now, I'm not going to begrudge her her food source in Seattle, as much as I might hate it. But I agree, if she comes here, we'll have to help. Besides, anyone who goes for the Cullens is going to put Bella in danger. I think everyone would want to avoid that, Cullens and werewolves included.

Jacob growled, obviously not happy with what she was saying. But he understood her words and he also believed them to be true. I know that you're right. I know that we have to trust the Cullens. I know that we have to team up with them. But, damn-it. I wish it wasn't this hard! he was whimpering. Jacob was not happy with the outcome of this. Jacob knew that he would have to do something, though. He couldn't let anyone get hurt because he wanted to be stubborn.

Adriana scootched closer to him, intertwining their limbs even more. She wasn't exactly sure whose limbs were whose. She wiggled a furry paw to make sure. She whimpered with Jacob, feeling his paini burn along the corners of her spine. Shh, Jake, I know, I know. It'll get easier. It'll take a lot of tears and a lot of time, but it will. It always does, she said, thinking of her mother. In the beginning, it hurt worse than anything, worse than her own injuries. But it faded to the dull ache it was now, save birthdays and special occasions when she wished her mom was present. But it still faded. She appreciated Jake's maturity about all this, how he was willing to look past species, even if it was only in this one area.

God, Adriana. I'd die if it weren't for you right now. He wasn't being over dramatic. Just honest. He was just thinking what he would, only she could hear it. Jacob let out a wounded cry. It sounded strangled, almost as if he were dying. Jacob was in pain. He just wanted to die. It's important for us to help... to come together to stop the bloodsuckers from hurting the people in Forks. Even if... even if right now... even if after words we can't do anything about hating the Cullen. I think they'll be okay with the negotiation. Help us help you kinda deal, he thought.

I sighed and cuddled him closer. {that sounds so weird} I felt his pain, felt it burn and knew that if I was human I'd be crying. As was, I could barely stifle a pitiful sounding whine. I looked back at him, eyes sorrowful, I'm sure. Ah, Jake...there are things to live for. Family, and friends...in the end, all the love in your life helps patch up the holes. You've got us. Maybe you resent it...hell, I'd resent it, but you still have all of us who are closer to you than anyone. And we'll help you. I promise. I could speak for everyone. If they didn't help, I'd give them such swift kicks in the toga they wouldn't know what hit them. It was the only kind of violence I could condone.

What's it matter? My mom is dead... my sisters are gone.... Dad doesn't need me. He's got Sue. He doesn't really need me around. Sometimes I think he'd like it better if I weren't around. The only person that I had going for me was Bella and now she's not around at all... it kills me... He listened to Adiana's words, taking comfort in them. I... the way I feel about you... I'm glad I have you for a friend. Thank you for all of your kind words, he whispered. Jacob was glad that Adriana and him had run into each other today.

I shuddered at the pain in his thoughts. Nah, Jake, you've got it all wrong! Your dad loves you. He understands but he still loves you. How do you think he'd feel if you were dead? And your sisters, if they got a call saying you'd killed yourself? Just because people leave, it doesn't mean they stop loving you. She didn't like dwelling on that last line. It made her think too much about her dad.
The way he said "the way I feel about you" made her feel entirely too uncomfortable. She couldn't speak for a second. Right, well, I'm glad too. Please don't die Jake. At the very least, think of me.

You're right, as usual. I've found that girls are typically more right than boys. Can you confirm that? he was joking now, trying to make the whole mood lighter, happier. He shouldn't dwell on such things - sometimes people didn't comprehend what they had until they lost it. Jacob knew that his dad loved him, deep down, but it was still hard. And as for his sisters... he knew that it was harder for them to come home. They had more memories of their mother than Jacob did; he had been so young when... Well, whatever.
Jacob felt her uncomfortableness and his fur bristled. Oops. He had said too much, or said the wrong thing. Sorry. that was uncalled for, he apologized.

My thoughts were a tiny bit smug. I don't think we're usually right. I think we just think things through more. Or maybe that's just a me thing. God knows I don't ever act without thinking. I sighed now. Is it bad that sometimes I want to be spontaneous? That sometimes I wish I could just...kiss someone? I love Lysander to death, but I have to be so careful, I don't want him to lose his mind. It's gotten lots better since I transformed, but I've still got to be careful. And then there's being with him. I do like him, but I have an idea of how this is for Edward and Bella and I can't really compare it. I know how it is for you and Bella, and it's still not even that strong. Is it supposed to grow? Is it just supposed to be? she stopped herself suddenly.
He asked me to marry him. And I have no idea what to say. She knew he could feel her absolute confusion.
I'm sorry...and don't worry, that wasn't uncalled for or anything. You were just...being human. And of course I freak out at the slight bit of normal human behavior.

I'm sorry, he thought. He could feel her caution when she thought of her vampire boyfriend. I can't even relate to that; all I've got is Bella. All I've got are the memories at this point. I guess I shouldn't be mad at her or Edward. Bella and I never kissed.... but I wanted to make her mine. I can't even imagine how hard you loving Lysander is.... that would be terrible, Adriana. Not just 'cos he's our enemy, but because you have to be so careful around him... He nudged her with his nose, whining a little bit so that she understood that he did feel bad for her.
Jacob let out a bark. You're too young to get married! Jeeze!
Jacob nuzzled her when she told him that he was just being normal. He hoped that he didn't weird her out too much.
