Personal history:
Jacob met Bella at First Beach about two months after she arrived in town. He told Bella the story of his ancestors making a treaty with the “cold ones”. It was Jacob’s great-grandfather who helped make the treaty. (TW6)
Although Jacob didn’t believe the superstitions of his father or ancestors, he delivered a message to Bella that the Quileutes “will be watching” and a suggestion that she should break up with her boyfriend. Bella refuses. (TW Ep)
After Edward leaves Bella later that September, she shows up at Jacob’s house wanting help fixing up two broken down motorcycles. (NM5) Their friendship grows and Jacob hopes that someday they can be more than friends.
Jacob, as well as most of the boys on the Rez, experiences amazing growth spurts. (NM5) Even though the boys are in their mid-teen years, they appear to be in their twenties. One by one, the boys join in with Sam and his odd little cult. (NM6)
After going out with Bella to a movie, Jacob goes home feeling very ill. (NM9) At home, Jacob mysteriously changes into a creature he doesn’t understand. He is very tall with paws instead of hands and when he speaks, he growls. It is later explained to him that he is a werewolf and that having the vampires near by is what triggers the change at the onset of puberty. (SWM) Because his anger is too difficult to control right now, Jacob is told to stay away from Bella. (NM10)
Jacob and the other wolves track down Laurent in the woods and find him with Bella.(NM10) They race after him, tear him apart, and kill him. (NM13) Later, Jacob manages to leave a suggestion with Bella that leads her to realize he is a werewolf.
Once Bella knows, Jacob includes Bella in most of the LaPush activities and even aggress to take her cliff diving. While tracking Victoria, Jacob sees Bella jump off the cliff on her own. He dives into the water and saves her. (NM15)
Soon after Alice returns to Forks, Harry Clearwater dies of a heart attack. Jacob is at the Swan home when the phone rings. Jacob answers it and tells a man who he assumes is Carlisle that Charlie is at a funeral. In reality, the person was Edward and he assumed that Charlie was at Bella’s funeral. Jacob stays behind while Alice and Bella race off to Italy to save Edward. (NM18)
When Edward and Bella return, Jacob makes sure Bella is grounded by showing Charlie the motocycles. He then reminds Edward that the treaty they have with the vampires states that the vampires are not to bite a human. Bite, not kill. (NM Ep)
