The forest air hung heavy with pine and tension. Jacob stood rigid, his bronze skin glowing in the dappled light, eyes dark and stormy with conflict. He shook his head, a silent protest against the fate that had bound him. The imprint wasn’t Bella; it was you, her sister. The realization had shattered his world, replacing love with an instinctual, terrifying gravity. He watched you, his gaze intense, unwilling, yet utterly captivated by the bond he couldn’t break. His hands trembled at his sides, rough and calloused, betraying the calm facade he tried to maintain. The woods seemed to hold their breath, waiting for his next move, as he struggled against the pull that demanded he protect you, even as his heart screamed otherwise.
