Prologue

"Mina." I lifted my head from my nursing pup to see Grandmother standing above me. "It's time." I whimpered, I didn't want to send my precious pup away yet I hadn't had her long enough yet. Grandmother just smiled down at me sadly and said knowingly, "You know the law, it happens to each of us."
I did know the law the first born of each mother had to go live with their eternal mate while they were still a pup for the first three years of their lives. I sighed and looked down at my pup who was still nursing ravenously. She was a cute tiny thing deep mahogany brown fur that looked and felt like silk. She was very young still, she hadn't even opened her eyes or ears yet. She stopped nursing yawned then snuggled into my side. I whimpered again and ran my tongue over her soft fur, for what would probably be the last time.
I stood up and looked at Grandmother letting a small whimper escape my lips and a few tears escape. She looked at me with pity then gathered me into her arms. "I know darling, I know." She held me for a while longer then pulled back and looked at me seriously. "You need to go, she needs to get to them and soon." She said looking at the sleeping pup, I nodded and sniffed again. She crushed me to her chest again, then stood and motioned for me to follow.
I went back to my pup and placed her in the tiny basket waiting for her journey placing a thick blanket on her. I gripped the basket in my teeth and followed Grandmother. She led me to the entrance of our home then looked at me and asked, "Do you remember where to go?" I nodded and went through the tall entrance. I looked back at Grandmother and she smiled and said, "Get her where she needs to be, bring her to her mate. Romina, corre rápido, correr ahora, y regresar a casa a salvo." She whispered the last part, the saying our family lived by. I nodded and took off running straight north.

...

I ran for an entire week only stopping to eat, drink, and let my sweet pup nurse. It was an odd thing, I didn't know where I was going per say, but there was a feeling in my gut that told me I was going the right way. I had traveled almost four thousand miles when I finally saw a house and knew the one my pup was destined to be with lived here.

It was a large house three stories, it blended in with the snow surrounding it almost as if it wasn't even there. Finally I walked the last few feet to the stoop of the house. Placing the basket on the stoop I took my small, precious, beautiful pup out of it and gently placed her on the stoop. She was sound asleep and I knew I wasn't going to have a lot of time for goodbyes so I nosed her tiny flank, licked her tiny head, and said, "Good luck, my sweet beautiful Isabella."
Taking the basket with me I walked slowly away. When I had finally reached the cover of the trees I looked back over my shoulder and looked at my pup, then I walked into the cover of the trees.

*Edward's POV*

Sitting at my piano I paused my playing it felt like there was something brushing against my mind making me feel... sad, so very very sad, I searched for the mind but couldn't find it. Shrugging I turned back to my piano and started playing again.
Hmm, maybe I should do some work on the flower beds today, I heard Esme say. She got up from where she had been sitting in the kitchen and left to go outside.
"What on earth?" She said pausing at the door. In her mind I could see a small bundle of cloth. The cloth seemed to be moving.
Carlisle came to her side. "What is it, dear?" He wrapped his arms around her waist and peered at the cloth curiously.
"I don't know." She said and bent down to pick up the cloth. By now everyone had gathered in the living room to see what the cloth is. She picked up the tiny bundle and put it in her arms. It's warm. She thought.
"What do you mean "It's warm"?" I asked coming to her side as the rest of my family gathered around her.
Esme delicately moved away the cloth and gasped, "it's a puppy."
A puppy? What's it doing here? Jasper, Rosalie, Carlisle
It's so cute! Alice
I wonder if we can keep it? I could teach it how to fetch, not that it would ever find the sticks I throw! Emmett
Esme was still in a stunned silence as she moved to sit on the sofa. Moving the rest of the cloth away from the puppy she cradled it in her arms. Such a pretty thing, so tiny. Delicately stroking it's fur her eyes softened and a warm motherly smile came to her lips.
"Esme..." Carlisle said warningly. We can't keep it obviously. It- he cut off his sentence when Esme looked up at him with her doe eyes pleadingly. Running a hand through his hair, Carlisle sighed and said, "Alright, you win. We can keep it."
Alice peered over Esme's shoulder and asked, "What are you going to call it?" Then she moved the blanket away all the way from the tiny puppy. "Sorry, what are you going to call her?" She amended.
Esme thought for a second then said, "Isabella, because she is beautiful." Alice nodded approvingly.
Tiny, beautiful Isabella. Perfect. I thought and ran a finger down her side feeling her soft delicate fur.
Welcome to the family, Isabella. We all thought looking at the puppy with pure love and adoration.
