The story starts with the note Jake sent to Bella. It speaks of him missing her and that he can't forgive her and they can't be friends because of the fact that she is dating a vampire again. While at the same time, Seattle is being hit by a string of unsolved killings, which Edward suspects to be the result of newborn vampires. Meanwhile, Alice has a vision that Victoria, a vampire that is hunting Bella to get revenge for her mate's, James, death, is back in town. Bella begs Edward to let her stay with Jacob and the rest of the werewolf pack because they would never harm her, but he is still not convinced. So, Bella escapes to La Push to see Jacob while Edward is away, and arrives afterwards at her house unharmed. This convinces Edward that the La Push werewolves are harmless to her, and he allows Bella to visit Jacob once in a while, as long as she keeps a phone with her at all times. During one of these trips, Jacob confesses that he loves Bella, wanting her to pick him instead of Edward then forcibly kisses her. Bella punches him which in turn breaks her hand.
A few days later, Bella tries to get Edward to make love to her before turning her into a vampire. Edward initially refuses; explaining that he could very easily kill her. Eventually, upon realizing how much it means to Bella, he says that he is willing to try in the future as long as they are married first. Despite having an aversion to marriage, Bella realizes that spending eternity with Edward is more important to her than anything else and accepts his proposal.
Bella and the Cullens realize that the murders in Seattle are being committed by Victoria and an "army" of newborn vampires that she has created. The Cullen family joins forces with the La Push werewolf pack in order to combat this threat. As everyone else prepares for battle, Edward and Bella camp up in the mountains, where they are later joined by Jacob and Seth Clearwater, to wait out the fight. Bella starts to freeze in the harsh weather of the mountain. Being anxious about Bella’s condition, Edward grudgingly agrees to let Jacob warm Bella. During the night, Bella also overhears a conversation between Edward and Jacob, in which they temporarily forget about their hatred towards each other.
In the morning, Jacob overhears Edward and Bella discussing their engagement and becomes very upset. He runs off, but at Bella's request, Edward brings Jacob. He threatens to join the fight and get himself killed because he feels that Bella doesn't love him. When Bella begs him not to, Jacob insists that he will unless she asks him to kiss her. Furious, she does so, and while kissing him she realizes that she is in love with him as well.
Victoria eventually finds Bella's hiding spot, but Edward kills her while Seth kills her partner Riley. The Cullens and the Quileute werewolves, meanwhile, destroy her "army", though Jacob is injured when saving Leah Clearwater from a newborn. Then several members of the Volturi arrive to destroy Victoria's army, and end up only killing the one newborn who surrendered, Bree. They are also told that while Bella hasn't become a vampire yet, the date for her transformation has been set.
Bella visits Jacob, who's been wounded in battle, telling him that she has chosen to be with Edward. Heartbroken by her choice, Jacob reluctantly agrees to stop trying to come between her and Edward. He promises Bella that he'll let her go, but that he'll always be waiting in the wings – maybe even after she turns into a vampire.
After leaving Jacob, Bella experiences an emotional breakdown. Yet she believes she's made the right choice. Though she's also been upset about getting married, she makes peace with the idea, because she feels that she owes it to her parents to share this important human tradition with them before becoming a vampire. She even agrees to let Alice plan a big wedding.
When Jacob receives Bella's wedding invitation, he's devastated, even more, he's enraged. He turns into wolf form and disappears into the woods, to escape the pain he feels.
