"Edward, can you come to my office? I wish to speak with you. I just got back form a meeting with Chief Swan discussing the meeting we both attended in London with the USC."

"Yes, Carlisle, I remember you had to attend that meeting, but you never said what it was about."

"Well, that is why I want to talk to you. The USC feels that we should arrange marriages with eligible single family members, and I think that you and Chief Swan's daughter, Isabella, would be a good match." The look on Edward's face was almost laughable, but I kept my face calm.

"Carlisle, you can't be serious! You know vampires mate for life when they meet their true mates. How will that affect Isabella when this happens?"

"How do you know that Isabella is not your mate?"

"Well, for one thing, Carlisle, she is not a vampire, and second, how can I even mate with her without hurting or even killing her?"

I smile for my son has never taken interest in my meeting with the USC. He's been so busy looking for his mate. I know it has been hard on him living with three mated couples. I also know he has never actually had sex with a woman. Oh, he may have engaged in cunnilingus or received fellatio, but has never actually had intercourse. To get his brothers off his back he let it be known that he is quite the ladies' man. But, back to my son who is standing before me looking confused at the smirk on my face. "Edward, you do know that the Swans are not human, right?"

The looks on his face are quick: shock, confused, then curious. "What do you mean they are not human?"

"Edward, the USC is an organization for supernatural beings."

"I know that Carlisle, however, I figured it did include humans since we are on earth with them."

"Actually, no, it does not include any humans."

"So, if they are not human what are they?"

"Have you ever heard of the Eerste?"

"Huh? No, I have never heard of them before. Who or what are they?"

"Legend states they were created in the Garden of Eden before God created Adam and Eve. They actually have more in common with us than you think. They, too, live off a diet of blood." This time I laugh because the look on his face is too funny. So, I continue on, "They are very strong, fast, and extremely intelligent. Their abilities in combat are like none I have ever seen. There physiology is fascinating. The Eerste have more than more circulatory system as well as two hearts. But, yes, on the outside they look human and are extremely beautiful, just as we are."

"Wow! I did not know this. Are there a lot of different kinds of beings that attend the USC?"

"Yes, my son, there are."

"Ok, so back to Isabella. Do you have a picture of her?"

"Why yes, son, I certainly do!" Wow she is beautiful, very ethereal. Yes my son she is. When can we meet? I'll call the chief now! Hello Charlie, yes my Edward would like meet your Isabella, yes I know they place, ok we'll meet you there is 30mins. Great goodbye! Let's go meet your future wife my son, yes lets!
