Hey guys. I'm sorry for not updating this story in so long. I keep getting really really bad writer's block so ideas would be very welcome. I decided not to make Edward into a jerk, no matter how much I dislike his character in the books and movies. I figure, it's my story and I can mold him into a better person if I want. I hope this chapter satisfies you.

Stargazer1364: Any ideas are welcome haha. Feel free to PM me, I could always use the help.

Rayne Arianna Maranochi: I do plan on keeping this story going until I complete it. I hate when stories keep me hanging, so I will do my best not to do that with this one or any other story I have going on.

ladygoddess8: Exactly. Even though it's not as bad because she's not a vampire yet, she still feels a hole in her heart and that's not a pleasant feeling. It's just gonna be Tanya though, because Kate has Garrett and Irina found Laurent. Maybe a little playful flirting from them, but Tanya is the only unmated one of the three succubi, so she'll be doing the major flirting and stuff.

RideItLikeYouStoleIt: I don't plan on Bella making it easy for Alice and Rosalie. I'm trying to come up with a good reason to keep it from her, but it's probably just going to be insecurity and self doubt. Like they didn't think Bella would take it well and they thought she was happy with Edward and didn't wanna ruin her happiness.

3rd Person POV

Walking down the stairs, Bella can hear introductions being made to her family. The voice sounds like Jasper's, but it stops when she enters the room.

"Hey there, sweetheart. Have you met the Denalis?" Victoria asks her daughter, motioning to the new family of vampires. Two blondes, one strawberry one platinum, a man with dark hair with his arm draped over the platinum blonde's shoulders, and a couple who look to be of Spanish descent.

As she's taking in the new vampires, Bella notices one of her own are missing. "Where's Laurent?"

"He's the one with the dreadlocks, no?" Strawberry blonde asks.

"Yeah, that's him."

"He went off with our sister, Irina." Strawberry blonde says, sticking her hand out. "I'm Tanya Denali."

Bella sticks her hand out as well. "Isabella. Pleasure to meet you, Tanya."

"I assure you, Isabella. The pleasure is all mine." Tanya purrs, kissing the back of Bella's hand.

Seeing the obvious flirting, Rosalie and Alice clear their throats simultaneously. "As you know, that's Tanya. This is Garrett, Kate, Carmen, and Eleazar." Alice says, motioning at each one in turn.

Smirking slightly at their jealousy, Bella lets go of Tanya's hand and moves on to introduce herself to the rest of the Denali coven (besides Irina). Carmen and Eleazar are the Spanish couple and appear to be the older members of the coven. Bella knows better, though. She's learned not to judge a vampire's age based on physical appearance at a young age. Kate and Garrett seem like the childish ones of the coven; the Emmetts. Bella can't tell what Irina brings to the coven because she hasn't met her yet. However, she can tell that Tanya is definitely the coven leader. The strawberry blonde just seems to secrete authority.

"Bella?"

Looking to the source of the voice, Bella sees that it's Tanya. "Yeah?"

"Would you like to hang out with me today? Perhaps go into Port Angeles or maybe Seattle?" Tanya has a small smirk on her face as she says this. She's a succubus and is very good at assessing romantic situations. By the way Alice and Rosalie reacted to her obvious flirting, she can tell that Bella is their other mate. However, Bella is still very much human and because of this, Tanya knows she's not marked. As they say, 'all's fair in love and war.'

With a subtle look to her mates, Bella nods and takes Tanya's outstretched hand with a small smile. "Sure. Sounds fun."

Edward's POV (I'm sorry if I fail at this)

All the signs were there. That she wasn't my mate. I thought that because I couldn't hear her thoughts, she was meant to be mine. But her blood called out to me in such a way that it was damn near impossible to resist. Mates are not supposed to even think about harming their mates and all I wanted to do when I was near her was drain every last drop of her blood. I saw the way she'd look at Rosalie and Alice but I never thought anything of it. She would always be so closed off around me and would shiver or grimace every time I would show affection. That alone should've been an indicator.

I have no destination in mind, just running. I know Carlisle and Esme are attempting, I use this term loosely, to track me. I can hear their thoughts whenever their within range. I'm just not ready to go back yet. I can't. Not after how I acted. My broken heart caused me to say and do things I'm not proud of and regret immensely. Sure, I still hold some of my homophobic views from way back when, but after being around Alice and Rose for so long...

God, I could kick myself. I haven't been the best brother because of the stupid opinions my father hammered into my mind all those years ago when I was still human. My mother never cared about such trivial things, love was love to her. My father, however...it was as if loving someone of the same gender was an act against God himself. He acted as if it were his personal mission to make me into a second him and my impressionable mind ate up every word without question. I never questioned his opinions like my mother and I consider it to be the biggest mistake I've ever made.

I know I have to apologize, to all three of them...I just have to get up the courage to do it.

Rosalie POV

The Denalis got here about 30 minutes before Bella came downstairs. I knew as well as Alice that we would have to try and keep Tanya and Bella away from each other. Tanya would flirt relentlessly and Bella would most likely welcome it and reciprocate because of her naturally flirty nature.

It didn't go well.

Now, Bella is off to Seattle with Tanya and the hole in my chest that can only be filled by my other mate starts on fire. The bond shouldn't feel as bad to Bella, but to me and Alice...it's like fire licking at your heart. Not as bad as the change, but close. The farther you are from your mate once you know who it is,, the hotter the flames get. The only way to extinguish the fire is to mark your mate as yours. And the only way to mark a human mate is to change them. Alice and I want Bella to graduate first before we change her. I guess we'll just have to deal with it.

Alice POV

I start searching for Bella's future to see if she'll be okay on her outing with Tanya. I'm not worried about something happening between her and Tanya, she's my mate as well as Rosalie's. I'm worried about the bond. I don't want her to suffer because of something as stupid as trying to torture us for not telling her about being our mate. We deserve it, I know.. but we really thought she was happy with Edward.

Speaking of Edward, he's been evading my visions and even though he's been acting like an ass, he's my brother and I'm worried about him. He was born in the very early 1900's and homophobia was very big back then. For years, he'd keep making the decision to tell Rose and I why he would act like a jerk, but he would always change his mind. Not before I would get a small snippet of what Edward would want to tell us and some of it was of his past. His dad would always tell him how homosexuality is wrong and how you'll be damned if you love someone of the same gender. I couldn't get much more than that without being caught.

I don't see anything bad happening to Bella and I don't see anything concrete on Edward so I give up with a huff. I really hate not knowing...

I hope I did well on the different points of view. I'm not great at writing for other people but I'm trying. I'll get better with time, I hope. And remember, if you see Ruby, please tell her to come back home. Little troublemaker keeps getting loose and won't come home for days at a time and it gets lonely here all by myself while my mom's at work and I'm home doing my school work. Hasta luego mi pastelitos, good damn bye
