I agree and disagree with your statements ^. You CANNOT say that Bella was bound to Edward at the beginning. She didn't even know him at the beginning. But once Bella met Edward...it's obvious that she's extremely drawn to him. However, Bella also felt drawn to Jacob as well..but to a lesser degree. IF the Cullens had never come back to Forks...the shapeshifters would not have started changing. This would have left Jacob a pretty much ordinary kid. So, Without the return of the Cullens, eventually Jacob and Bella would have gotten together...fallen in love...marriage, kids, the whole thing. BUT Edward and the Cullens DID come back. Bella fell head over heels in love with Edward...and many members of his family. Bella says that Edward is her supernatural soul-mate....and that Jacob is her natural soul-mate. Supernatural is stronger than natural...so Bella had no choice but to choose Edwards. All this is in Eclipse...near the end when Bella goes to visit Jacob while he's recuperating from the Newborn Battle...when she 'breaks' up with him. I also think that if Edward had stayed out of Bella's life (NEW MOON) that she would have eventually come to love Jacob...and been with him. However, I think she'd always have Edward in the back of her mind. But Bella would have survived losing Edward...because she still had her 'natural' soul-mate, Jacob to help her. Remember? Bella felt the pieces of her being actually coming back together because she had Jacob. Of course they instantly came together when she got with Edward again. And I do agree...that the essence of Bella that loved Jacob was reborn in Renesmee.
