In theTwilightuniverse , the Quileute kin group resides in and around Forks , and many of them are werewolf , like Jacob Black . The tribe has its own legends and mythology , with some of the new members believe the whole “ werewolf ” part to be nothing more than a legend , as they had n’t go through the transformation nor did their parents , which was Jacob and Billy ’s casing . LikeTwilight ’s only distaff shapeshifter , Leah Clearwater ,   Jacob ’s father   lived in La Push his whole life . One of his earliest memories was watching his grandfather transform into a giant , russet - colored loup-garou along with his two best friends .

Billy Black Isn’t A Werewolf In Twilight

Billy and Jacob ’s ancestor would transform into werewolf when they reached humanity , but as years overtake , this changed totally . The newest generation would only transmute if a cold one , a.k.a . a lamia , was near . When Jacob ’s don   was a teenager , however , there were no vampires in the surface area , so the gene was dormant . Thankfully , the kin group receive no vampire - relateddeaths in theTwilightuniverse , and around the time Billy Black turn twenty , he realized that he would n’t have the chance to be a hero . While it was ab initio gruelling to consent , he eventually learned to revel the peace of not having vampire around and thus not transforming into a werewolf . When Jacob was born , Billy   hoped he would have the same calm liveliness and would n’t have to transform , but then the Cullens arrive   – and withTwilight ’s   vampires around once again , a unexampled generation of werewolves turn up .
