Eclipse
In Eclipse, Bella is upset by the fact that her best friend and werewolf, Jacob Black, refuses to talk to her. Edward insists on her filling out various applications for college. While bringing over more applications, Edward notices the newspaper's cover story about multiple murders in Seattle. He reveals that his family suspects newborn vampires are about, though they can’t imagine why they aren’t aware of the rules set down by the Volturi. Edward, Bella, and Alice are finishing their senior years. One day at school, Alice sees that Victoria is back in town, searching for Bella. Edward tries to keep this information from Bella. He insists that they take the weekend to go visit Bella’s mother in Florida, using the tickets given to Bella for her 18th birthday by Edward’s parents. When they get back, Jacob confronts Edward about why he kept this information from Bella, also discussing the treaty’s bounds, as the Cullen’s crossed the territorial line chasing Victoria. Edward tells Bella what Alice really saw and what happened, revealing that he took Bella from Forks to keep her safe. Bella and Jacob reconcile, and begin hanging out once again, of which Edward disapproves. After convincing Edward that she will be safe with the werewolves, Edward allows Bella to visit La Push every once in a while. On one of these visits, Jacob confesses his love for Bella, kissing her forcefully, even though Bella tries to stop him. She injures her hand trying to punch him, something Edward is proud of. Edward threatens Jacob on Bella’s return from La Push. Edward's reluctance of changing Bella into a vampire is revealed. He tells Bella that changing her into monster, just so that he will never have to lose her, is the most selfish thing he could ever do. He tells her that if there was any way for him to be human again, he would change for her no matter the price. Edward proposes to Bella once more, and she accepts under the condition that, after their wedding, they'll make love while she's still human. Jacob and Edward make a treaty to work together to protect Bella from Victoria, who is still attempting to find and kill her. After a while, the Cullens figure out why there is a pack of newborn vampires in Seattle, as Jasper has experience with the situation: they are being bred as an army. The werewolves agree to fight the vampires with the Cullens, and a plan is made to rage battle against them, using Jasper's knowledge of newborns and their instincts. While laying down this plan, Edward and Bella decide to spend the night in the mountains. The night is so cold, however, that Bella needs Jacob to come and sleep in her sleeping bag to keep her warm, since his temperature is above 100 degrees. During the night, when Bella is thought to be asleep, Jacob openly confesses his feelings for Bella to Edward, and the two of them come to an understanding that there are things Jacob can do for Bella that Edward cannot do, such as keep her warm. In the morning, Edward and Bella begin to discuss some of their favorite nights together and the marriage between the two is brought up. They are interrupted by a loud howl of agony, and Bella realizes that Jacob was listening outside the tent. She sends Edward to find him, worried about what he might do in his pain. When they return, Edward gives them time to talk. Jacob tells her he will commit suicide during battle if she does not kiss him. This is a trick to get Bella to admit she is in love with him and to kiss Jacob. She then begs Jacob to do so. During the kiss, Bella realizes she is in love with Jacob; however it is not of the same love or intensity with which she loves Edward. It's more like a family love. When Edward returns, he realizes what had happened by listening to another werewolf's thoughts. He tells Bella that he is not angry with her for loving Jacob, and that he understands her frustration. Soon after, Victoria arrives with her coven of newborns, and the battle begins. Victoria leaves her group in the course of the fight to track down Bella, and arrives at the camp site where Edward, Bella, and Seth, a young werewolf are waiting out the fight. One of Victoria’s newborns, named Riley, accompanies her. Seth defeats the newborn Riley, and Edward destroys Victoria. The battle ends, and it is discovered that Jacob has been wounded. Bella goes to visit him, and they come to the uncomfortable understanding that Bella loves Jacob, but cannot live without Edward. Jacob insists that if she changes her mind, he will be waiting. After Bella agrees to let Alice plan their wedding, Edward decides that he will make love to Bella without getting married no strings attached. Bella declines and decides that it is time to tell Charlie of their engagement.The epilogue is seen through Jacob Black's point of view. Edward, without Bella’s knowledge, sends Jacob a wedding invitation, angering him unintentionally. The book ends with Jacob running away in wolf form, intending toleave Jacob Black behind.
