Here's how I read it (in the books & articles by Meyer) Sethnesme. Go back to ECLIPSE after the newborn battle...when Bella visits Jacob. Bella says their are two types of soul-mates. There are natural soul-mates, and supernatural soul-mates. Jacob and Bella are Natural soul-mates. IF the vampires had not come back to Forks, they wouldn't have started the catalyst that change some of the tribe into shapeshifters. Thus, Jacob would have remained an ordinary human. Bella would have met him, fallen in love, and would have married him. This is also why Bella is able to be happy with Jacob when Edward left her in NEW MOON. HOWEVER, the Cullen's did return to Forks, members of the tribe changed to shapeshifters...and most importantly, Bella DID meet Edward. Edward is Bella's supernatural soul-mate which is stronger than a natural soul-mate. This is why the two were so drawn to each other. This also explains why Jacob was drawn to Bella until she became a vampire....and even why she had remained drawn to him. When Renesmee was born, she was born Jacob's supernatural soul-mate...which is why he immediately imprinted upon her. But yes, you are right...Jacob still does love in his way because she had been his natural soul-mate while she was still human. However, Bella is no longer human and Jacob doesn't exactly view her as a natural soul-mate since she's a vampire. So the natural-soul mate love that existed between Jacob and Bella died the moment that Bella became human. However, Jacob now has a supernatural love between he and Renesmee.
