Breaking Dawn pg. 139-184

I began reading the first part of Book Two: Jacob last night and so far I like it. I like it better than Bella's point of view mainly because its a different, less annoying outlook on the situation this circle of characters are in. The second book of the Twilight Saga, New Moon, provides an insight to the Quileute legends of the wolves of the reasoning behind their existence. I thouroughly enjoyed the legends and I am looking forward to follow Jacob further into his journey of saving Bella from immortality even though I highly doubt he will succeed.

The first part of Jake's book is him describing how he feels about the imprinting going on within the pack. Imprinting is when a wolf lays eyes on the woman of his dreams that was destined for him, no matter what age they are. For example, Quil has imprinted on a toddler girl, Clair. As of right now, they share a father daughter relationship, but once she is older they will assume a romantic relationship. Kind of creepy, I know, but does it sound less creepy that he won't be an old man when she grows up because he wont age? I dont know, I thought that made the circumstances a little better.

Everything is pretty plain until Jake and Quil hear the cry of a wolf coming from the forest. This is a call of order for the pack. Jake races into the forest and waits until he is well hidden from public eye to phase (into a werewolf). The pack phases rather than staying in their human forms because they can hear each other's thoughts while in their wolf form. Jake has been waiting for the news of whether Edward will bring Bella home "dead" (immortal) or not at all (because he killed her). He believes now that he is about to hear the answer to his wonder. Sam, the Alpha leader, reveals that Bella is home and has been quarantined due to a disease she picked up in South America on her honeymoon. Charlie is freaking out because even he is not allowed to see her. Jake of course takes this news as being Bella is now a vampire however he is greatly wrong. Bella is in fact pregnant and Carlisle has to surgically remove the fetus in order to save Bella's life. Lacking the true information, Jake decides that he is going to say goodbye to his father and runaway like he did when he discovered Bella was engaged to Edward.
