But he was wrong tonight.

And I had not been born to kneel to him.

The bonds fell off my body the second that I embraced my birthright.

I could feel it gathering in me, both a freedomand also a strange, hollow power.Hollow because an
Alpha's power came from his pack, and I had no pack. For a second, loneliness overwhelmed me.

I had no pack now.

But I was straight and strong as I walked to where Sam stood, planning with Paul and Jared. He turned
at the sound of my advance, and his black eyes narrowed.

A/o, I told him again.

He heard it right away, heard the choice that I'd made in the sound of the Alpha voice in my thoughts.

He jumped back a half step with a shocked yelp.

Jacob? What have you done?

I won't follow you, Sam. Not for something so wrong.

He stared at me, stunned. You would... you would choose your enemies over your family?

They aren't—I shook my head, clearing it— they aren't our enemies. They never have been. Until I
really thought about destroying them, thought it through, I didn't see that.

This isn't about them,he snarled at me. This is about Bella. She has never been the one for you, she
has never chosen you, but you continue to destroy your life for her!

They were hard words, but true words. I sucked in a big gulp of air, breathing them in. Rosetta Stone Arabic


Maybe you're right. But you're going to destroy the pack over her, Sam. No matter how many of them
survive tonight, they will always have murder on their hands.
