I was already sick of this town and we had been here for only two weeks, humans were so annoying to be around, they knew nothing of the world as we did….
I sat with my 'ice bitch' glare on as my siblings called it, daring any human to come and ask me out again… Edward and I were used to this attention with any school we were in, well more him than me, I seemed to intimidate all the humans away, luckily.
As we sat in the lunch hall, pushing our food around, making it look like we were eating, I felt someone's gaze on me, I turned in the direction and gasped as I saw the person in question, a young girl with deep mahogany hair and deep chocolate eyes, staring in my direction, only one thing was going through my head as I saw her, my mate, the one I was waiting for.
I heard her ask one of the girls she was seated with who we were and laughed softly at the other girls' response, this hmmm what was her name… Jessica? Well whoever she was seemed to have a vendetta against us, Edward had let her down gently.
The girl, my mate, looked at me again and I looked into her eyes and frowned as I noticed them shift, so suddenly that I nearly missed it, me a vampire!
I looked over to Edward who had a perplexing look on his face.
I nudged him quickly and raised my eyebrow.
"I can't read her thoughts! And did you see her eyes shift! She must be my mate!" He exclaimed only for me to growl at him, HIS MATE! My mate more like.
"Outside now Edward!" I yelled not caring if the precious humans heard.
I heard several grasps as I grabbed Edward by his ear and dragged him outside, ignoring his growls and annoying yells.
As soon as we were far enough away so that none of the humans could find us, I threw him to the ground.
"MY MATE NOT YOURS YOU PRICK!" I yelled loudly, kicking him harshly, only to be grabbed by Jasper who pushed calm towards me.
"FUCK OFF JASPER, HE'S TRYING TO CLAIM MY MATE!"
"Rose, I know she's your mate, believe me, the feeling is mutual but beating the living daylights out of your brother isn't going to change that, he just has to see sense." Jasper whispered softly to me, causing me to calm instantly, he let go of me and smiled.
I watched Edward from the corner of my eye and growled as he tackled me to the ground.
"You are a woman! So is she how can she be your mate, I feel the call to her!" He exclaimed.
"What you feel is a fucking thirst for her blood, I saw the way you looked at her! But you lay a finger on her and I swear it will be the last time you do anything!" I said, pushing him over and keeping him on the ground, pinned beneath me, growling in his face.
"Rosalie is right Edward, she isn't your mate, she is your singer, and her blood is the thing that is calling." Jasper said calmly as he pulled me gently away, I let myself go, knowing this was going no-where, all I wanted to do was see Bella, to be round her and hold her, I knew this wasn't possible yet, but I could still dream.
"Home now." Jasper said with a soft smile directed at me, I nodded and we made the short run to the house, only to see Esme and Carlisle waiting for us, by the looks of it, Eddie boy was going to get a good thrashing.
"Edward Cullen, you do not claim another's mate!" Esme yelled and I smiled, before her glare set on me and I gulped.
"And you young lady, you do not lose your cool at school and do not attack your brother!" She yelled, glaring still before turning to Carlisle who nodded.
"As I understand it, This Bella, is not human, and is Rosalie's mate, so we must discover what she is and if she is a threat to us, and see if she returns Rosalie's feelings." Carlisle said, his hands linked together, I smiled triumphantly only to laugh as Edward stormed up to his bedroom, to sulk.
"Rose Honey I'm so happy for you." Esme said running at me and hugging me tightly, her scary angry persona long forgotten, I hugged my mother figure and nodded.
"I have finally found my mate after so long alone." I whispered, not being able to hold back the grin building.
"Now go get your girl." Alice yelled, from beside Jasper, she had ran and told Carlisle and Esme and informed them of the situation.
"Of course pixie on my way." I said, sprinting to Bella's home, not bothering with my car.
As I arrived I saw her standing outside, beneath a tree, a smile on her lips as she saw me arrive, any human wouldn't have seen me until I stopped, I approached cautiously.
"Rosalie I assure you I won't hurt you or your coven." She said with a smile, a small blush spreading across her cheeks.
"What are you?" I asked astonished, stopping in front of her.
"What you would call a werecat, I transform into a cross between a lion and a normal cat, huge house cat basically, was born like it." Bella explained with a smile.
"Why are you so open with me?"
"You are my imprint, my mate, I share my world with you."
"You know we are mates as well?"
Bella nodded and smiled.
"Not bad for a 42 year old eh?"
I gawped at her for a few moments before regaining my composure.
"You are 42." I said quietly, my eyebrow raising itself.
"Yeah, frozen as an 18 year old, yourself?"
"Frozen at the same age, been this way for 80 years…" I murmured, not able to hide the sadness in my voice.
"Not your choice I see." Bella whispered with a small smile before walking to me and enveloping me in a hug, it felt so right, like she was made for me, as I for her.
"My family will be dying to meet you." I whispered as she pulled away and she nodded.
"Let's take a slow walk to them, get to know each other." She said and kissed my lips softly causing me to go into semi-shock again, my mate had kissed me, and I grinned and kissed her properly before pulling away and striding away.
We talked about everything as we walked, our fears, our hates, our loves, even the silly little things like what I did while I waited for morning to come, as we approached the house, I thought I knew all I could about her and the same the other way round, I knew she was a werecat from her father's side and had grown up with a few cousins in England but had moved to America when she was ten, her family being an ancient tribe who were once the protectors of the mythical creatures but were betrayed by one set, which she wouldn't tell me, I didn't want our alone time to end but I knew we would have an excited family, I sighed and opened the door.
"Welcome to the hell house." I muttered with a grin as I opened it wide enough for her to see my family waiting for her, grins on each of their faces.
"Bella!" I heard Alice yell before launching herself at Bella, I laughed as Bella caught her and set her down.
"Hi everyone." She said quietly.
"Hello Bella dear, it's nice to meet you." Esme said with a smile and Carlisle nodded, agreeing with her.
"Hello Mr and Mrs Cullen." She said with a bow of the head only to be stopped by Esme.
"Call us Esme and Carlisle." Esme said with a smile.
I quickly introduced her to the family, Edward being his sulky self muttered hello before disappearing out, after the introductions were made I walked to my room, Bella in tow.
"Your family is a nice bunch." She whispered as I closed the door.
"Yeah, they are, I'm lucky to have them… well except Edward at the moment…" I murmured, still angry.
"What did Edward do?" She asked, innocently.
"He claimed you as his mate… although I think me shouting at him got it through his thick head!" I growled.
"Bloody hell! You're lucky he didn't try to claim me, I would have ripped him to shreds." She said her eyes flashing again, her English accent pushing through with her anger.
"Bella sweetie, calm down, it's alright, he's been sorted out, but I have to admit, your accent is very alluring." I whispered, smirking, watching as her face turned bright red.
As I pulled her close into a hug I felt slightly unsure, what if she had chosen Edward over me, I would have been devastated if she had, my world crashed from me.
"Rose, ROSE!" She yelled getting me out of my own mind.
"Rose, I'm your mate, yours, not his and you are mine, I think I would have loved you even if you weren't my mate, I mean look at you, you are a supermodel looks wise!" She said and kissed me suddenly, clearly putting in all her love and emotion.
I kissed back and smiled, glad my insecurities were uncalled for and that I had my mate, my Bella and she wasn't going anywhere.
"Bella are you hungry?" Esme called and I growled, taking away my time with my mate, Bella on the other hand had transformed into a majestic cat, her fur the same as her hair colour, She growled loudly, clearly feeling the same as me.
Alice came sprinting into the room and gawked at Bella only bought out of her daze by my growl.
"CARLISLE I KNOW WHAT MADE THE NOISE!" Alice yelled, smiling at Bella who was contently rubbing herself against my leg, purring as I stroked her fur happily, smiling now.
Carlisle walked in and grinned. "I knew I recognised the smell!" He exclaimed. "Bella could you come see me once you have changed back, I would like to converse about your clan." He said softly before quickly leaving the room with Alice in tow.
I looked at Bella and smirked. "I've always wanted a cat." I said softly only to stare as Bella turned back to her human self, completely stark naked, she blushed brightly and covered herself up, I couldn't make myself move, all I could see in my mind eye was her in her gloriously naked form.
"Rose, can I have some clothes please?" She asked softly, her voice squeaky.
"Oh right!" I said quickly, I would of blushed if I had the ability to, I sprinted off and grabbed some of my clothes, a pair of shorts that Carlisle had bought me when I thought surfing would be a good way to spent my tiny and a simple t-shirt, knowing fully well it would swamp Bella, I was taller it was obvious, I came back and handed her the clothes before leaving the room to give her privacy.
"Pervert." I heard Alice say from downstairs as I started to debate on whether or not to walk in and help her, I growled softly and settled against the wall.
I looked up as Bella came out and laughed, she looked like a child in hand me downs, her pout caused me to stop laughing instantly and I hugged her close.
"Sorry sweetie, but you look so cute and innocent." I whispered.
She growled and pouted, I grinned and kissed her lips before leading her downstairs, for her to talk to Carlisle, with me in the room of course, I wasn't letting them near my mate without me there, no way.
