He clearly feels torn between his loyalty to Bella and to his pack, and in the end reaches out to Bella one final time. But Edward pulls Bella away. Where would the story have gone? Would Jacob be a better match for Bella than Edward? She never seems to laugh much with Edward. What do you think, though?
Is Jacob better suited for Bella in the long run? Will he count her as his enemy, as Bella fears? Questions upon questions come up about Jacob. That might be the reason Stephenie Meyer wrote and posted a story, "Being Jacob Black," which explains what Jacob is all about.

Breakfast food is life and coffee is what makes the world go round. It was great. Unfortunately, the progression of Billy's diabetes forced him to quit his job and lose mobility, and Jacob had to take care of Billy as he dealt with his new life in a wheelchair. Jacob truly enjoyed his father's company, though, and Billy's disability allowed them to become even closer, so Jacob didn't actually mind wheeling him around.
Billy Black inherited his grandfather Ephraim's place on the tribal council, and that important position forced him to learn everything there is to know about the origin of the Quileutes. A majority of his tribe believed these origin stories to be mere legends, but Billy took them very seriously and made sure to bestow all of that Quileute knowledge in his son.
When Bella went to La Push hoping to get some more information on the Cullen family and the "cold ones" in the Twilight novel, Jacob was able to recall the story of his shape-shifting ancestors and their bloodthirsty immortal enemies by heart. In the film adaptation, however, Bella did most of her research alone and viewers didn't get to see Jacob's vast knowledge of Quileute history. One of Billy's earliest childhood memories was of seeing his grandfather phase into a massive wolf, so he grew up knowing that his tribe's stories of vampires and shape-shifters were all true.
He initially hoped that a vampire would come near La Push again and force his own transformation so he could develop superhuman powers, but when that never happened, he became thankful that he was able to live a normal life and feared that the return of the Cullen family would spark Jacob's transformation and deny him of that same opportunity. Jacob didn't share those same concerns, because he simply didn't believe his father's stories.
He followed Billy's orders to warn Bella to stay away from the Cullens, but Jacob didn't think vampires were real or that Quileutes could turn into wolves until he started going through the transformation himself. Billy had several close friends in La Push, but he because incredibly close with Charlie Swan because they both loved fishing, lost their wives though Charlie's merely divorced him while Billy's had passed away , and had daughters who were often mysteries to them. Since the unlikely companions spent so much time together, Bella saw Jacob, Rachel and Rebecca on several occasions during her childhood visits to Forks before she moved there in Twilight.
Bella and Jacob weren't nearly as close growing up as they became in Meyer's series and she was never more than a mere acquaintance to Jacob's sisters, but Jacob said that he'd always enjoyed seeing Bella and fondly recalled making mud-pies with her as kids. Some Twilight fans have accused Jacob as coming onto Bella too strong, but true Jacob lovers know that he actually didn't make the first move. Bella was the one who started their flirtation and led Jacob to believe that he stood a chance with her.
When Bella tried getting information about Edward out of Jacob, she used Jacob's hormones to her advantage and feigned interest in him so he'd tell her everything she wanted to know. Jacob took her flirtation as an invitation to flirt right back, and when she again turned to him for help after Edward and the rest of the Cullen family left Forks in New Moon, he understandably saw that as another sign that she might be willing to take their friendship to the next level. In the epilogue of Eclipse, which was written from Jacob's point of view, readers got the chance to see just how distraught Jacob was about Bella's rapidly-approaching wedding to Edward and looming transformation into a vampire.
In his eyes, Bella becoming a vampire was just as bad as her actually passing away, so he phased into a wolf and ran away to escape his emotions.
The rest of the Quileute wolves tried to talk to Jacob, but Sam advised them to leave him alone and Jacob ran as fast as he could away from La Push. In Breaking Dawn, Jacob was mentioned to have been gone for nearly two months. To avoid his pain, he actually lived as a wolf all that time and considered staying in that form until he ultimately decided to return back to Forks to attend Bella's wedding. As the great-grandson of Ephraim Black, it was actually Jacob's birthright to lead his generation's wolf pack and become its alpha.
Jacob didn't have any interest in that responsibility, though, so he passed the title of alpha over to Sam Uley. That all changed when Sam found out about Bella's pregnancy and decided that she and the baby must be eliminated. Jacob refused to accept this plan and rebelled against Sam's authority, which caused him to break away from Sam's pack and become the alpha of his own second pack.
He, Leah and Seth then began patrolling the Cullens' territory, in order to prevent Sam's pack from attacking the woman Jacob believed he had imprinted on and the baby that would go on to become his true soulmate. One of the biggest and most controversial twists in Stephanie Meyer's entire Twilight franchise took place in Breaking Dawn, when Jacob imprinted on Bella and Edward's daughter Renesmee. This meant that Jacob's attraction to Bella throughout the series was actually just him being drawn to her because she'd go on to give birth to his true soulmate, and that Jacob was always just meant to be with his former crush's daughter.
Team Jacob fans, in particular, took offense to this idea, and were outraged that Jacob seemingly fell for a baby.
