family ! all committed to protecting human life ! preferred the flavor of large predators for satisfying their 
dietary needs。 ^Alaska�察�then�察�as planned。 Only somewhere much more remote than Juneau ! somewhere 
with grizzlies galore。 ̄ 
    ^Better�察院�he allowed。 ^There are polar bears�察�too。 Very fierce。 And the wolves get quite large。 ̄ 
    My mouth fell open and my breath blew out in a sharp gust。 
    ^What¨s wrong�拭院�he asked。 Before I could recover�察�the confusion vanished and his whole body seemed to 
harden。 ^Oh。 Never mind the wolves�察�then�察�if the idea is offensive to you。 ̄ His voice was stiff�察�formal�察�his 
shoulders rigid。 
    ^He was my best friend�察�Edward�察院�I muttered。 It stung to use the past tense。 ^Of course the idea offends 
me。 ̄ 
    ^Please forgive my thoughtlessness�察院�he said�察�still very formal。 ^I shouldn¨t have suggested that。 ̄ 
    ^Don¨t worry about it。 ̄ I stared at my hands�察�clenched into a double fist on the table。 
    We were both silent for a moment�察�and then his cool finger was under my chin�察�coaxing my face up。 His 
expression was much softer now。 
    ^Sorry。 Really。 ̄ 
    ^I know。 I know it¨s not the same thing。 I shouldn¨t have reacted that way。 It¨s just that 。 。 。 well�察�I was 
already thinking about Jacob before you came over。 ̄ I hesitated。 His tawny eyes seemed to get a little bit 
darker whenever I said Jacob¨s name。 My voice turned pleading in response。 ^Charlie says Jake is having a 
hard time。 He¨s hurting right now�察�and 。 。 。 it¨s my fault。 ̄ 
    ^You¨ve done nothing wrong�察�Bella。 ̄ 
    I took a deep breath。 ^I need to make it better�察�Edward。 I owe him that。 And it¨s one of Charlie¨s 
conditions�察�anyway ! ̄ 
    His face changed while I spoke�察�turning hard again�察�statue´like。 
    ^You know it¨s out of the question for you to be around a werewolf unprotected�察�Bella。 And it would 
break the treaty if any of us cross over onto their land。 Do you want us to start a war�拭院�
    ^Of course not� 院�
    ^Then there¨s really no point in discussing the matter further。 ̄ He dropped his hand and looked away�察�
searching for a subject change。 His eyes paused on something behind me�察�and he smiled�察�though his eyes 
stayed wary。 
    ^I¨m glad Charlie has decided to let you out ! you¨re sadly in need of a visit to the bookstore。 I can¨t 

believe you¨re reading Wuthering Heights again。 Don¨t you know it by heart yet�拭院�
     ^Not all of us have photographic memories�察院�I said curtly。 
     ^Photographic memory or not�察�I don¨t understand why you like it。 The characters are ghastly people who 
ruin each others¨ lives。 I don¨t know how Heathcliff and Cathy ended up being ranked with couples like 
Romeo and Juliet or Elizabeth Bennet and Mr。 Darcy。 It isn¨t a love story�察�it¨s a hate story。 ̄ 
     ^You have some serious issues with the classics�察院�I snapped。 
     ^Perhaps it¨s because I¨m not impressed by antiquity。 ̄ He smiled�察�evidently satisfied that he¨d distracted 
me。 ^Honestly�察�though�察�why do you read it over and over�拭院�His eyes were vivid with real interest now�察�trying 
! again ! to unravel the convoluted workings of my mind。 He reached across the table to cradle my face in 
his hand。 ^What is it that appeals to you�拭院�
     His sincere curiosity disarmed me。 ^I¨m not sure�察院�I said�察�scrambling for coherency while his gaze 
unintentionally scattered my thoughts。 ^I think it¨s something about the inevitability。 How nothing can keep 
them apart ! not her selfishness�察�or his evil�察�or even death�察�in the end。 。 。 。 ̄ 
     His face was thoughtful as he considered my words。 After a moment he smiled a teasing smile。 ^I still think 
it would be a better story if either of them had one redeeming quality。 ̄ 
     ^I think that may be the point�察院�I disagreed。 ^Their love is their only redeeming quality。 ̄ 
     ^I hope you have better sense than that ! to fall in love with someone so 。 。 。 malignant。 ̄ 
     ^It¨s a bit late for me to worry about who I fall in love with�察院�I pointed out。 ^But even without the warning�察�
I seem to have managed fairly well。 ̄ 
     He laughed quietly。 ^I¨m glad you think so。 ̄ 
     ^Well�察�I hope you¨re smart enough to stay away from someone so selfish。 Catherine is really the source of 
all the trouble�察�not Heathcliff。 ̄ 
     ^I¨ll be on my guard�察院�he promised。 
     I sighed。 He was so good at distractions。 
     I put my hand over his to hold it to my face。 ^I need to see Jacob。 ̄ 
     His eyes closed。 ^No。 ̄ 
     ^It¨s truly not dangerous at all�察院�I said�察�pleading again。 ^I used to spend all day in La Push with the whole 
lot of them�察�and nothing ever happened。 ̄ 
     But I made a slip�察�my voice faltered at the end because I realized as I was saying the words that they were 
a lie。 It was not true that nothing had ever happened。 A brief flash of memory ! an enormous gray wolf 
crouched to spring�察�baring his dagger´like teeth at me ! had my palms sweating with an echo of remembered 
panic。 
     Edward heard my heart accelerate and nodded as if I¨d acknowledged the lie aloud。 ^Werewolves are 
unstable。 Sometimes�察�the people near them get hurt。 Sometimes�察�they get killed。 ̄ 
     I wanted to deny it�察�but another image slowed my rebuttal。 I saw in my head the once beautiful face of 
Emily Young�察�now marred by a trio of dark scars that dragged down the corner of her right eye and left her 
mouth warped forever into a lopsided scowl。 
     He waited�察�grimly triumphant�察�for me to find my voice。 
     ^You don¨t know them�察院�I whispered。 
     ^I know them better than you think�察�Bella。 I was here the last time。 ̄ 
     ^The last time�拭院�
     ^We started crossing paths with the wolves about seventy years ago。 。 。 。 We had just settled near 
Hoquiam。 That was before Alice and Jasper were with us。 We outnumbered them�察�but that wouldn¨t have 
stopped it from turning into a fight if not for Carlisle。 He managed to convince Ephraim Black that coexisting 
was possible�察�and eventually we made the truce。 ̄ 
     Jacob¨s great´grandfather¨s name startled me。 
     ^We thought the line had died out with Ephraim�察院�Edward muttered�察�it sounded like he was talking to 
himself now。 ^That the genetic quirk which allowed the transmutation had been lost。 。 。 。 ̄ He broke off and 
stared at me accusingly。 ^Your bad luck seems to get more potent every day。 Do you realize that your 
insatiable pull for all things deadly was strong enough to recover a pack of mutant canines from extinction�拭�If 
we could bottle your luck�察�we¨d have a weapon of mass destruction on our hands。 ̄ 
     I ignored the ribbing�察�my attention caught by his assumption ! was he serious�拭 �But I didn¨t bring them 

back。 Don¨t you know�拭院�
     ^Know what�拭院�
     ^My bad luck had nothing to do with it。 The werewolves came back because the vampires did。 ̄ 
     Edward stared at me�察�his body motionless with surprise。 
     ^Jacob told me that your family being here set things in motion。 I thought you would already know。 。 。 。 ̄ 
     His eyes narrowed。 ^Is that what they think�拭院�
     ^Edward�察�look at the facts。 Seventy years ago�察�you came here�察�and the werewolves showed up。 You 
come back now�察�and the werewolves show up again。 Do you think that¨s a coincidence�拭院�
     He blinked and his glare relaxed。 ^Carlisle will be interested in that theory。 ̄ 
     ^Theory�察院�I scoffed。 
     He was silent for a moment�察�staring out the window into the rain�察�I imagined he was contemplating the fact 
that his family¨s presence was turning the locals into giant dogs。 
     ^Interesting�察�but not exactly relevant�察院�he murmured after a moment。 ^The situation remains the same。 ̄ 
     I could translate that easily enough�此�no werewolf friends。 
     I knew I must be patient with Edward。 It wasn¨t that he was unreasonable�察�it was just that he didn¨t 
understand。 He had no idea how very much I owed Jacob Black ! my life many times over�察�and possibly 
my sanity�察�too。 
     I didn¨t like to talk about that barren time with anyone�察�and especially not Edward。 He had only been 
trying to save me when he¨d left�察�trying to save my soul。 I didn¨t hold him responsible for all the stupid things 
I¨d done in his absence�察�or the pain I had suffered。 
     He did。 
     So I would have to word my explanation very carefully。 
     I got up and walked around the table。 He opened his arms for me and I sat on his lap�察�nestling into his cool 
stone embrace。 I looked at his hands while I spoke。 
     ^Please just listen for a minute。 This is so much more important than some whim to drop in on an old 
friend。 Jacob is in pain。 ̄ My voice distorted around the word。 ^I can¨t not try to help him ! I can¨t give up 
on him now�察�when he needs me。 Just because he¨s not human all the time。 。 。 。 Well�察�he was there for me when 
I was 。 。 。 not so human myself。 You don¨t know what it was like。 。 。 。 ̄ I hesitated。 Edward¨s arms were rigid 
around me�察�his hands were in fists now�察�the tendons standing out。 ^If Jacob hadn¨t helped me 。 。 。 I¨m not sure 
what you would have come home to。 I owe him better than this�察�Edward。 ̄
