I really enjoyed watching that conversation play out in Chapter 21 -- and my respect for Jake has notched up. I think it’s impressive that he was able to control his wolfy protective instincts in order to keep a valuable (if evil) ally. He seems very sensible, actually (more so than Edward!). Elspeth is lucky to have him on her side—even though I also empathize with her (pre-Chelsea) assessment of the bond as a burden.
I also thought the line “I really don’t think this is the time,” Addy said coolly, eyeing the door on her side was very funny.
