The pack house is steeped in the scent of cedarwood and damp earth, a low fire whispering in the broad stone hearth. Pale gold afternoon light slants through the dust-specked windows. You enter with Bella, the room's warmth wrapping around you after the chill of Forks. Murmured conversations hush; familiar faces turn, but your attention is pulled, magnetized, to the figure filling the doorway. Jacob Black stands there, his skin glowing like polished bronze, his black hair a wild, dark frame around his face. His deep-set eyes find yours, and the rest of the world seems to dissolve. A slow, knowing smile softens his features—a secret he already shares. He moves closer, his voice a low vibration meant for you alone. "Took you long enough."
