4. Chapter 4: The Coven

Hey Wolf girls, here is chapter 4. Although I said I would publish my chapters every two weeks ... Chapter 4 was ready for, so I decided to update. Unfortunately from this chapter, the vampires begin to gradually interfere in the lives of Jake and Bells, and our beloved pack... Leeches are a necessary evil.

Chapter Four: The Coven

(Bella's POV)

When Jake left, I had dinner with Charlie, but I couldn't stop thinking about him. Seeing him so … so eager around me. Oh God, I still felt so vulnerable, my mind kept thinking about what happened earlier in this kitchen, while Charlie was trying to have a conversation with me.

"Jake talked with me today. He was very clear about what he wants, and he went to inform, to make me aware, but not to ask my opinion. Can you believe that?. I was really stunned by his boldness, but on the other hand ... I liked how determined he was."

I was pensive. I imagined that Charlie must have worried, because I didn't respond. He asked: "It seems something is wrong. Want to talk about it?."

"Don't worry, Dad, as Jake told you, everything is fine. He had some things to do, that's all." I couldn't say more to Charlie.

We finished dinner and cleaned up. When we were done, I went upstairs to do my nightly ritual before going to bed. As I showered, the words Jake spoke to me went around in my mind: "You have to recognize that you're mine ... mine Bells."

I went to bed thinking about him. I knew that Jake loved me with all his heart, his love for me leaked out of his soul and from every pore of his being.

When Jake gently pulled and hugged me to him, my body had perfectly molded immediately to his warm chest. I could feel my body tremble; the energy between us was more than magnetic. The way he looked at me, his eyes ... I could see the hunger in them for me.

I started running my hands over his perfect shoulders, and down his muscular arms. Jake's chest rose up and down, breathing hard with every touch of my hands.

But most glorious of all was the way he inhaled my scent … it was so exciting, when he took deep breaths of my face, my neck, to calm himself.

And his smell ... his smell had become so penetrating to my nose. And his skin to my touch was as familiar as it was to touch my own. Every time I found it more difficult to stay away from him, especially after the way I was feeling about him. I just wanted to awaken early to be at his side.

Thinking about him, I slept soundly.

Fortunately for me, the night passed quickly; and in the morning as usual, he picked me up early. In his car on the way to school, Jake told me about the conversation he had with Charlie, and I told him some of my conversation with Leah; obviously I omitted those parts somewhat embarrassing to tell.

When we reached the parking lot, I saw Embry embracing Angela; I felt happy for her. We said hello and I realized that she wanted to talk with me, but with the guys here, we wouldn't have the intimacy for our girl talk. It was something we would have to get used to, so, we would find the time for our conversation.

Jake walked me to my class, before going to his own; we agreed to meet in the cafeteria for lunch.

After class I was walking to the cafeteria when I met with Jake, he was on his way to my classroom, but he couldn't, because Lauren had detained him. This girl didn't learn. Now I would have to mark my territory.

(Jacob's POV)

When my class was over, and although we had agreed to meet in the cafeteria, I went to her class to get my girl. But I couldn't do it, because I was followed by Lauren; she wanted to talk to me.

She took my arm and said: "Jacob, I really need to talk with you." Her stance was too submissive for my taste, and she really had never been so with anyone.

"Sorry, Lauren, but I'm in a hurry, my girlfriend is waiting." Clearly I was telling her to leave me alone once and for all; but Lauren wasn't easy to discourage. I started to move away from her, but she wouldn't let go of my arm.

"Jacob, please, this will only take a moment. I don't think Bella is so selfish that she wouldn't let us talk for a few moments."

Before I could answer, my Bells did. She stood beside us. "The truth is, that yes, Lauren, I'm pretty selfish. I think you understand perfectly. Right?."

My Bells embraced me, and my reaction was swift. I hugged her tightly to me. My Bella was not done yet. "And another thing, Lauren, I don't want you around Jake, and do not put your hands over him anymore, you understand?."

Wow! I was grinning from ear to ear; my Bells was very territorial about me.

Before leaving with my Bells, I told Lauren. "Don't waste your time with me, and tell Mike not to continue planning these stupid ideas, thinking I may leave my girl." Lauren's face showed surprise and anger.

Then we turned from Lauren, and headed to the cafeteria. I kept walking and took my Bella firmly by her waist. My girl looked at me quizzically, but her anger was great. She realized that I heard what Mike and Lauren were talking about in the cafeteria yesterday.

"This is very annoying—really annoying. So Mike and Lauren are planning ways to get us away from each other?."

"Yes, babe, but don't worry about that, there's no way that will happen ever." I took her shoulder and stopped a moment before entering the cafeteria.

"Listen well to what I'm going to tell you; there's no way that they have the slightest chance of separating us."

"I know that, but it bothers me that they won't leave us alone. You do realize that they're psychotic?"

"Well, to be so beautiful, that happens."

She blushed and said. "No, that happens to be so attractive, that women chase you."

I loved what she said; I knew I was grinning like an idiot.

"I'm only interested in one beautiful woman—you—and I promise, you will never have to deal with this unpleasant situation ever again."

"I hope so, because I won't be territorial about you all the time. I think that I'm acting like the wolf. Now I just need to turn into something big and hairy."

We laughed out loud, I was happy. I didn't mind being in school, I took her up and said: "Bella, do you have any idea what it does to me, when you put Lauren in her place, being territorial?. Honey, you drive me crazy." My Bells was very flushed, I loved that blush.

We didn't have much time, so we entered the cafeteria, sitting together with our friends for lunch. We were chatting when my cell phone rang. It was Billy; this was very strange. He almost never called me, unless it was an emergency or if something important had happened on the reservation.

"Hi, Dad, tell me, did something happen?." All were silent, wanting to know what was happening.

"Jake, Sam was on patrol and discovered something. He asked me to call you; he needs you and the guys to get here right away. We apparently have a coven lurking nearby."

"Ok, dad, we'll be right there."

I knew that the boys had heard the conversation, but the girls didn't, so I told them what was going on at the reservation. Besides, I knew that this news was disturbing, especially for Leah.

Sam was the oldest of the pack, and he was alone in La Push. If he called us, it was because he really needed us; we had to go to support him. I instructed Seth, Quil and Jared to stay in school with the girls. I would go with Embry and Paul.

I took the hands of my girl and asked: "Bells, what will you do after school?."

She replied without hesitation: "The girls and I will go to La Push, and you don't have to worry about Angela or me, we'll go with the guys."

The girls were immediately in accordance with their Luna. My Bella unwittingly exercised authority over them, and also would do that on all my people; once she was ready to take her place beside me.

I was happy about her decision, and saw in the faces of my brothers who understood what was happening; their Luna was concerned with the imprints.

"After school we'll all be together, we can stay in your home or with Leah, we'll see. Just be careful. So you better go soon... Sam needs you."

I was saying goodbye to Bells when something instinctively made me look over at the table where the Cullens sat. The pixie and her partner were very interested in what we were saying, while the other couple were not paying any attention to us. This caught my interest. Was my wolf trying to warn me about something?. Later I worried about why my wolf made me look at them, but right now we had to go help Sam.

I kissed my girl's cheek then I left with Paul and Embry.

"Very good choice, Jacob; you chose the right girl. Bella will be a great Luna for the Quileute people," Paul told me while we were in my car on our way to La Push.

I nodded my head, knowing he was right; my wolf and I always agreed. Bells was the best and soon would take her place among my people. But while I was driving to La Push, I remembered the pixie.

"There's something I want to say—the pixie and her partner seemed very interested in our conversation. We'll see if that's transcendent or not, but I want you to be alert to every movement of the Cullens." I told Paul and Embry—with these bloodsuckers one can't leave anything to chance.

Arriving in La Push, we phased, and met with Sam in the woods.

"Jake, the scent of bloodsuckers has spread throughout different parts of the reservation's boundaries. At least two of them smelled familiar, but I cannot remember where I smelt them before."

Sam showed me everything he noticed during his patrol, the smell of leeches and the places in which he smelt them. It was as if they had walked the boundaries, to memorize the area.

"It seems there's a couple, and they could have come before in these parts. But if so, for what reason did they come back?; They should know of our existence".

I recognized all places where the scent was more intense. I organized patrols, into pairs, and went to visit not only the reservation, but Forks, to Port Angeles, to the Olympic National Park. In all parts we walked, the smell was almost gone. The incursion of these bloodsuckers was brief, as if they had realized that we were going after them. And there was indeed a familiar scent in this coven.

We were searching for a while in several places, across our borders especially, but the visitors were gone.

When we felt sure we would not find them here again, we returned to the reservation. At this time, my Bells and the boys would be in La Push.

(Alice's POV)

I heard in the cafeteria when Jacob told the guys that they needed to go to the reservation because there appeared to be a coven of vampires in their area.

That must have been Laurent, James and Victoria. I hastened to send a text message to Edward. I knew if I called and spoke with him, the wolves would hear everything I said and that would ruin our plans.

I Asked Edward to take Laurent out of the area because the dogs were there, and we could meet in Carlisle's office. But, what were Laurent and his coven doing on the border?. Edward would have to explain this to me; we wouldn't fail because of his stupidity, now that we were so close to achieving our goal, and twice—the destruction of the Alpha male, and the future partner for my brother … Bella Swan.

I told Rose and the boys that I would not go to school in the afternoon, because I had to see Carlisle; I needed to talk to him.

"All right Alice, you can't wait until after school to go see Carlisle, or tonight to talk to him?." Rose said.

"I can't Rose, I'd forgotten there was something I urgently need to discuss with him; I can't wait," I answered.

Rose again asked, "To all this, you've heard from Edward?, When is he returning from Alaska?, And what was he doing there?"

"Wow, I'm surprised about all your questions when you usually never worry about anything or care about anything that is related to Edward."

"Come on, Alice, relax. It was only curiosity that's all. You know what?, Don't answer me, you don't have to. Also, if you forgot something urgent, you don't have to show your annoyance with me," Rose replied.

She was right, if I was upset, I shouldn't have shown it, much less here. In addition, Rose had always had an air of diva, and it was better not to disturb her, or having a constant annoyance to her.

"Okay, sorry, the truth is, I think Edward will return soon from Alaska, I guess he and Tanya are enjoying a great time together."

I knew the wolves could hear us; so it was best, that they believe that Edward was still a long way away, and having fun with a female of our species. Emmett unwittingly helped with his comments.

"So our little brother is in Alaska, eh?; High time he gave that woman a chance, she's been trying for a long time to be with him. He has no need to worry about trying not to kill or break her bones if he's with her," Emmet told us laughing.

"On Thursday, Emmett and I'll go hunting and be gone for a few days. We don't want to miss our classes," Rose said playfully. With that comment, it relaxed the atmosphere between us. It had become a little tense between the two of us; besides, we'd done these courses again and again, we didn't lose anything we didn't already know.

I left them and called Carlisle from the car, to tell him that I would gather with Edward, in his office.

Carlisle was already in his office when I got there and we talked while we waited for Edward. I told him about the conversation I overheard the wolves having in school today, when Edward showed up. Before he could say anything, I began to rant.

"What's wrong with you?; Why did you bring them up here?; Do you realize how close we are to achieve our goals, and how close to losing everything we were?, And why?, Because of your stupidity?."

I let Edward see in my mind everything that happened. I continued, "We were there, and luckily we listened to their conversation. For the past few days, I've been keeping an eye on Bella and the pack, in case something happens that affects our plans. But you come back with the nomads, and for one stupidity we could have lost everything ..." Edward interrupted me.

"We separated before arriving in Port Angeles. They wanted to go hunting, but they would go away from here. I told them explicitly not to come to Forks or the border. But after your message, I immediately called and they withdrew from where they were. I was to meet them near to Port Angeles; we have to reach some agreements."

"Ok, I understand, but you know how close we are to achieving our goal; we can't fail because of your stupidity. You know that girl is not only valuable to you, she's very important to us all. She has a mental shield that can be used to our benefit. We are a coven, and more importantly, the largest after the Volturi, and have survived for years. With Bella, we can add another member to our coven, but also one with a gift ... Look, I know you're interested in the woman, but I am interested in her ability, her mind. We must be proactive and try to endure over time and become stronger; you never know if the Volturi wants to break someday. They have always wanted to have you and me in Volterra. But with our gifts, and Bella's, we'll have a more powerful coven than Aro's." I told Edward and Carlisle. I wanted to make it clear what should be our priority and our ambition.

"I didn't see in Laurent's mind what they thought they would do, I think it was something that they planned after we parted ways; they must have come to familiarize themselves with the terrain and to look for food. I'll talk to them. They need to know that things need to be made my way and not theirs. But before anything else, Alice ... tell me … how is she?." asked Edward.

I let him see in my mind all the pictures I'd seen of her. I knew that some would hurt, but I wanted him to feel more eager to have her with us ... and soon. The images of when they were in the cafeteria, as the dog took her in his arms, and took her hand, showed he was very possessive with her, showing to all the school that they were together. She knew about the wolves because I'd heard their conversations, and I realized that the wolf told her all about them, therefore, presumably, she should also know about us.

Edward groaned in pain. It was disconcerting to see him that way, as painful and debilitated. Besides, he hadn't been fully fueled yet. He began to pace the room like a roaring lion.

"Alice, enough, you do not have to be so explicit." Carlisle told me.

"I'm just showing him what I've seen. Edward asked me to show him, and he better know what he'll face when returning to school. But, from what I've seen, I think they still are not a couple. Although I notice in her some changes, like her smell ... it has become more intense, and she has something of the essence of the wolf, but I don't think that the wolf marked her yet. "

"Okay, I have a clear view of what happened during my absence, and tomorrow I will see everything in their mind; all this is going to reverse soon. But now I have to meet with Laurent and his coven, and then I have to feed, I still feel weak ... and additionally now … without a soul."

"Do not worry son, all will be well." It was evident the grief that Carlisle felt for his son. "I'll go with you to meet with Laurent. We must agree on some things. Nothing should fail."

We parted, I went back home and they went to their meeting.

(Jacob's POV)

We returned back to the reservation to join the rest of the pack and our imprints. Bella asked the girls to stay with Billy, as he was alone. We told them about everything we did, checking the reservation and its boundaries, and following the tracks towards Port Angeles. Everything indicated that it was an isolated raid of a couple of bloodsuckers that occurred to them to come here. But I could not be sure. My wolf senses showed me that smell of this coven was familiar, and also my wolf senses alerted me to the face of pixie Cullen, when I was about to leave school. Why did my wolf want me to be alert to her?. It was something I should watch out for; my wolf senses were never wrong. My wolf's instinct told me wherever or whenever there was the danger.

"Well, we don't apparently have to worry about anything ... for now," Billy said.

"Maybe, Dad, but one thing worried me; before leaving school, I felt like Alice Cullen was aware of what we talked about, as if she were aware of what we would do. I don't know why my wolf senses showed me that situation, my wolf is my instinct, you know. He makes me aware of everything, but mainly tells me where the danger is coming from, and this time it led me to the pixie."

"We didn't notice anything; Cullen gone before her family; apparently she had something to do. But I heard what she spoke of her brother—said he was out of town with another woman, and that it was entertaining," said Quil.

"I hope he stays there, and never come back to Forks," I said, sitting my Bells on my legs.

"That would be ideal. I never want him to be around us any more. Indeed, I would like all his family too, but mostly him," Bella said. "Now, What if we made dinner?, Wolves must be hungry." My girl smiled, gave me a kiss on the cheek, and hugged me. I love that she was doing these things. She was becoming more affectionate with me, and was even showing it in front of my friends. I waited so long for her, to take the initiative to approach me or hug me, and she was beginning to do so. Obviously my reaction was swift; I hugged my girl tightly to my body.

I wanted to go out with my girl to walk to our tree, so I said, " Okay, then, everyone going to help with dinner finish soon, because I want to go out with my girl before dinner."

Then Leah told my Bells, "We girls can make dinner, so you and Jake can go. You decide, Bella."

"If you can make it without me, obviously I'd rather go out with Jake". She stopped, took my hand and went to walk on the beach. I had a smile from ear to ear, I was absolutely happy; besides, I knew that my friends shared my satisfaction, because their Luna was here with us, and I finally had her with me.

We went for a walk to our tree; it was a very warm afternoon. We held hands as we walked in silence. The silence was comfortable, as we are often my girlfriend and me.

"I told Charlie that we would be here; he'll come for me later. You know, I'd rather be here," she informed me, breaking the silence. "Besides ... I wanted to ask you something. Would you mind if during these two weeks of vacation I came here?; I don't like to be alone in my house."

I think my girl didn't understand me. She wouldn't be alone at home. She would be here every day. If it was not clear to her as yet, it was time she knew it. I picked her up to be face to face with me and told her: "Bells, you'll come and stay two weeks here with me and you'll stay in my house, and sleep in my bed again—two full weeks starting on Friday. I've already talked about it to Charlie, and the truth is, you, beautiful, you're not going to leave my side. I told you before, I wanted to be with you these two weeks, either here or at your home, but together, but now we have to stay here. I won't allow you to stay alone, especially now that these leeches were in this area. They could go to Forks, so I'm not taking any chances. You are a temptation for men and vampires. I will not let the blood, and the scent and beauty of my girl tempt anyone. In case you haven't noticed, you have an owner, and even if it seems possessive, that's the truth, Mrs. Isabella Black".

My beautiful woman's face became red hot, and she hid her face in my neck. It was adorable that when she did, it was like a little girl, my precious girl. I think our children are going to be very beautiful, especially if we have a little girl. Having a mother like her, how was it not going to be so!

Then I lowered her to the ground because she wanted to walk along the beach, and she wanted to do it barefoot; it was an excellent idea. My connection to nature was very strong, and doing so with my girl, was a simple but wonderful idea. We took off our shoes, and I helped my Bells to turn up her jeans. I knelt in the sand, and asked her to support her foot on my thigh; her feet were so small. I started to turn up her jeans; she pressed her hands on my shoulders to keep her balance. It was impossible not to touch her legs doing this task, my girl was blushing; I was sure that I was touching parts of her that had never been touched before, her skin was so soft, all the skin on her body must be so soft, like velvet, delicate ...

Black, just concentrate on your task, turn up her jeans and don't touch her beautiful, soft legs. I did it as fast as I could, and we walked again and began to wet our feet in the waters of the beach at La Push. She enjoyed this; her familiarity with nature was strong. So it should be, after all, we, Quileute people, had lived in the midst of this nature, all our life, we loved and respected it, and it cared for us, nourished us and gave us life.

We walked along the beach holding hands; it was a wonderful comfort to be with her. With every day that passed, the more I wanted her to be living here with me. It was unbearable, the pain in my chest every time I left her. Fortunately, taking care of her in her bedroom had been the solution to be close to her, as long as possible.

It was getting late and we decided to go home. Luckily, my house was big enough for all the people who had gathered there. Apart from the pack and Billy, were the imprints, Sue, and Charlie would come soon.

While my Bells went to meet with the girls, my friends and I talked about what we would do next weekend and during holiday weeks. I told them I would bring Bella to my home, in these two weeks of vacation.

"Wow, you don't give respite to our Luna," Jared told me laughing. It was true; I didn't give a respite to Bells, even at night. And speaking of night, I remembered some instructions on patrols, because we should watch out for the visitors this afternoon; beside, I would take care of Bells, again from tonight.

"And do you think about re-entering her bedroom?, now, she knows you take care of her inside her bedroom," Sam said with amusement.

"Son, be careful. Don't let Charlie find you; you may lose his support. As much as he thinks of you as a son, you won't be able to explain what you're doing in his daughter's bedroom in the middle of the night," Billy said.

"Quiet, Dad, I'll be careful with Charlie."

It was clear what Billy was trying to tell me—who protects that girl from me?. But they all knew that I never would take advantage of any situation with her. Besides, I was very aware of recent changes in my wife as a result of the imprint and the wolf. So I should be careful, because she was being delightfully responsive to my closeness, and I knew I had to control myself, because the way she was responding to me, drove me crazy. She had controlled me and herself. But I knew that now it was costing her much more; the imprint was acting on her with great force. The work to be cautious must be from the two of us, although definitely in that aspect I was weaker. My girl had always been the stronger of the two, but now it must be a shared task.

I knew very well that my wolf and I weren't going to resist much longer, but I also knew that she was not finding the strength to resist me either.

I think I was very immersed in my thoughts, because the guys started to guess the place where my mind was at that time, and jokingly made me return to reality.

Soon those dreams would become a reality, I would be in the place of my thoughts, with my wife, doing what my mind dreamt to do with her ... and to her. My Bells would be with me forever, nothing and nobody would separate her from my side.

(Edwards's POV)

Carlisle and I went in our cars to meet Laurent. They left Forks and around the reservation, as far away from here as possible. The wolves could not find them. Nor could I bring them to my house; only Alice, Carlisle and I knew of these plans, and it was better not to share with the rest of our family. If my Bella would become a Cullen, it was preferable that all might believe that her conversion was product of vampire Laurent's revenge, to destroy the Alpha; nobody would know my participation in these events to come.

I just wanted this whole process to take place as soon as possible. I could not stand the separation from her. Being away from her in Alaska had been the worst torture. And the worst was seeing the images in the mind of Alice. It was so painful; if my heart beat it would have died again.

The dog hugging her, taking her hand, stroking her face, her hair, taking her in his arms—how dare that dog even look at her?.

And her... her heart beat for him, her embarrassment, and her smile ... everything was for him.

But that would change, I will change it, and nothing and no one could save me from hell. I had already condemned my soul, and nothing could ever change that. So I had nothing to lose but everything to gain ... the love of my existence.

When we met up with Laurent's coven, I realized that this incursion near La Push was thought up by James, I saw it in the mind of Laurent. But James had a very relaxed position. Certainly he did not expect my reaction: I took his neck in my hands and threw him far.

"What do you think you were doing on the reservation, idiot?, Why did your raid there?, Do you want to ruin everything?." I was enraged. Victoria tried to approach me, but my face should be too frightening. I just looked at her and she backed away.

Carlisle spoke, "Calm down, Edward. Now what counts is doing things right. We can't give up. After all, this issue is beneficial for everyone involved. We'll reach an agreement that will be an unavoidable commitment". Then, Carlisle spoke to Laurent. "Laurent, my son spoke with you to take charge of a job twice, and for the benefit of both-the destruction of the pack and their Alpha, and transform their Luna into one of us." Laurent nodded.

Already more calm, I could think more coolly, and talk to my partners. I told James, "Listen to me, fool, for you, it may be a favor, because you're helping Laurent, but for me this is not a favor, it's a deal. I offer to Laurent his enemy on a tray, and I know you want revenge too, like Victoria, so we're on par with this. I know very well that Laurent is the most interested in this business; but I will offer a more attractive deal for you three, apart from revenge: money. I will pay for your work to kill the dog, destroy the pack, and transform my girl into one of us ... You set the price … But I warn you one thing: if something fails, there is no way that you can run away from me ... until I destroy you. You know I can do it. Always, I go before you; remember that I know what you think. Your mind is my best ally."

I knew my face was grim and gloomy. I could see in James's mind that I was not joking with what I said, and was determined to do anything to carry out my plans. James feared me. That was good. Fear is power and a useful weapon. This coven, should know that was better they do not play with me.

Laurent tried to lower the profile at this incident and said, "Hey partner, do not fret man. We will do our job the way it should be done: Perfect."

James followed the position of his friend. "Okay, I know … I blundered … it's just we didn't realize how close we were to the boundaries. Also, we were hunting, and humans were moving into that area ... We'll be more careful from now on." Definitely he was very motivated by my offer.

"I hope so ... for benefit of all. Like I said, you set the price."

Laurent said, "For my part, I'm immensely paid by your offer; you are helping me to achieve my revenge, leading me to my enemy on a platter. For me, destroying the Alpha male, means destroy the pack. Oh yes!" He laughed, satisfied; his friends shared his satisfaction with him.

But I knew that James was the most ambitious, so it was best to have him happy. "For you, James, and your partners, I leave you one of my cars. Take it as an advance payment. It is a Ferrari I do not use. It is much too fancy for Forks. I prefer my silver Volvo." I threw the keys to him.

"Now, we agree on something. I will go to school tomorrow and see Bella and the dogs. It will be easy to see what he is planning to do with her in the weeks to come. He will surely take her to the reservation, and knowing how eager he is for her, he will seek to spend time alone with her. That will be the best moment. I think that you two can do it alone, without the help of Victoria. You are expert hunters and he is only one."

Victoria spoke, "That is true, he's just one, but the greatest of all wolves and very strong. We saw what he did with Yanara, and nearly destroyed Laurent. Why do you think we ran?. If he was only able to do that, imagine when the pack comes to his side. He drove them straight to destroy us. The pack is a real machine to destroy vampires. They are designed for that ... We will not take risks."

Before she could continue, I saw what was in her mind, and I really enjoyed her plan. I interrupted, and said, "Good thinking, Victoria, very good idea. That way all sides are covered."

"Okay, but what is it?; We are not mind readers like you," said James annoyingly.

Victoria told them what she had in mind and it was an idea that I supported. "Edward will notify us when Bella and the dog are alone and the place where they will be. Surely it will be a distant place with privacy. You two will be responsible for working with her and the dog. My part will be to distract the pack and lead them away from where you are. When they follow me, you won't have any obstacles and will be able to do your job. When the dogs are far away from you, I will meet up with you two, to make sure that nothing went wrong and to see if you need my help turning Bella while you are destroying the Alpha. I also didn't want to waste the moment that his beloved Bella is becoming one of ours; I want to see how he writhes in pain watching his beloved Bella, the love of his life become his mortal enemy. I want to let him see her suffering before we kill him."

I realized that of the three of them, Victoria was the most determined, ruthless and deadly. It could say that she was the most destructive and definitely the fastest of all of them. James was the strongest and the best hunter, he even liked to hunt his victims for fun, not because of his thirst. And Laurent was the most cruel and vindictive of the three.

Laurent was very happy with that idea, but not James.

"I don't like the thought that you are the distracting element to the wolves, while we take care of one between the two of us."
