Meanwhile in Volterra Aro, Marcus and Caius were getting their latest report from the private investigator in a barn on the outskirts of the city so that the guard would not be able to overhear the ongoing investigation to find the writer and sender of the vampire novels. The latest PI came back from another wild goose chase with another letter to deliver to them as per the usual mode with the investigations. Aro took and dismissed the PI while Marcus wearily shook his head in distaste for the missives message. Caius meanwhile snatched it out of Aro's hand and began to frantically sniff it like a bloodhound on catnip. He knew he mate had sent the letter and he had tried to not kill the deliveryman this time even though he ended up drained in the end. This meant that the missive was the insurance details for his family which the Volturi would than send to the dead man's family. She was making him accountable for his eating habits which he didn't like but her P.S was humorous that he should snack on the scum of society which meant that he would have to hunt his prey down to feed.

Back at the castle a puzzled Demetri was told to sign for a package and was so confused about someone knowing who and where he was that he walked the delivery person out without snacking since the rest of the guard was out and about. When he opened the delicious smelling package that he just wanted to wallow in the scent adorning it, he found hunting clothes that had been hand made with wolves and bats embroidered on the edging of the outfit. It was an exotic look from the Native Americas but different that you could not name the tribe it came from. A puzzle which made him very curious about because Leah had sneakily worn the outfit to bed for the night before posting it to Demetri meaning that her scent saturated her gift.

Meanwhile floating next to Demetri's shoulder was a giggling bouncing Leah who was highly amused by the various plans he was proposing to find the gift sender because from her scent he knew he was her mate. Luckily for him he hired a different PI firm to the one the kings were using and because they were all busy trying to solve their own mysteries Aro wasn't randomly reading the guard with his talent. Thus he had no idea of the mess Demetri was currently poking his nose into while using every avenue to find his mate.

While Leah was having the time of her life because Bella awaken a latent talent in regards to soulmate bonds; she was able to activate the necessary mental ability within a soulmate to see the echo of their soulmate. That had happen accidently because Leah kept bugging her to describe what Demetri was doing at any given point of time so in frustration she hit Leah over head while yelling at her that she wished she could see the shade of Demetri and that it might shut her up. It did but the side effect was that her family and the rest of the tribe were now under the impression that poor Leah Clearwater who had been jilted by her fiancé for her cousin had made up an imaginary man. Since they were frequently seeing her chatting to the thin air since the soulmate allowed the mate who could see the shade also hear what their soulmate was say due to the bond between them. So Leah had a front row seat to whatever currently came out of Demetri's mouth and his body language. Since he was currently searching all over Canada and the United States of America for her using private investigators she got to hear a blow by blow account of the ongoing search.

Meanwhile everyone knew Leah had gone crazy because of Sam and Emily which was causing them to be snubbed by the tribe only Leah caught on to that and took up their side in front of the tribe. She did this wonderful diatribe about how they were soulmates and that if they had met after she had married Sam they would have all been unhappy because they still would have been drawn to each other resulting in her marriage breaking up rather than a relationship. The whole time she was smiling more than when she was dating Sam the outcome was everyone still thought she was mad but at least Sam had got away before the crazy arose for them to see. Poor Leah was the tribe's collective thought how could she have fallen so far and how long had this been simmering under the surface. At least Chief Swan's daughter didn't seem to mind the crazy probably because she was a self-confessed lesbian.
