"So you're what? His bitch now?" Emmett said crudely, his face showing the disgust that he had at the thought of the wolf and Harry together. Harry turned blazing electric green eyes at Emmett and then spoke; he thought that they understood but it was obvious that some still held to some ideas about what he was or wasn't to the wolves and to them.
"Emmett McCarty Cullen you have no clue what I am or am not to these people, they are my family just as Esme is now. Do not think that just because I accepted Esme that I accept you all, for I don't. It would be wise of you to shut your crude, rude and stupid mouth and find out the truth behind my connection with them instead of just assuming things." Everyone looked at Harry this was really one of the first outbursts that he had with them, most of the time Harry bowed down to their ideas instead of voicing his own thoughts something that he had been taught by his time with his relatives. It was then that things began to shake and move around the living room. This was the first time that Harry had shown his true power to the group, including the vampires.
"Calm lover, calm" Paul said which seemed to break some control that Edward had over himself.
"Get away from him dog, he's mine!" Edward said before moving faster than Paul could react and pulling Harry away from Paul. It was instantaneous and no one could tell what happened next but soon Edward was thrown across the room and through the glass window that Harry had made a few days earlier. Everyone watched stunned and amazed at what had just happened and how quickly it had happened.
"Yours? Yours!? I am my own and you would best to remember that Edward Anthony Masen Cullen" Harry started, he may be in love with the vampire but even Edward had to realize that he was treading on thin ice. This was the first sign that Edward had any sort of feelings for him that wasn't strictly friendly or family related. Edward shook off the glass and looked directly at Harry, a look in his eyes that told Harry how hungry he was for him and it wasn't his blood that he wanted. Harry knew then that any hold that the cunt of a girl had over Edward was gone and in its place was a very real and very dangerous feeling that Edward was showing to not only the shape-shifting werewolves but to his own family, something that surprised Harry.
"Yes, mine" Edward stated before nipping at Harry neck much harder than Paul had been doing before, it brought tears to Harry's eyes. This was exactly what he didn't want; he didn't want Edward acting out of some rebellion to what was his relationship with Paul and the wolves was. Paul noticed the tears immediately and Harry was soon in the safety of Paul's arms. If only Paul and he were mates, things would be so much different but instead he was in love with a vampire that seemed to think that he had full and complete control over his life, just like a certain old wizard that he was running from thought, of course they didn't know that but it still left a bad taste in his mouth.
"Harry is his own, remember that leech!" Paul said while pulling Harry closer to his warm body trying to warm the chill that Harry was bound to have with all this pulling from one person to the next.
"Edward" Carlisle called out, breaking Edward out of whatever haze he had been in with his fight about Harry with Paul.
"Edward" Carlisle called again just to make sure that he had Edward's full attention; it was then that Edward turned blazing obsidian eyes to Carlisle.
"Jasper, Emmett get him out of here" Carlisle directed and soon Edward was fighting the pair of vampires for all he was worth while trying to get back to Harry.
"Get off of me! I'm fine! Leave me and my mate be" Edward chanted over and over again, all the while Emmett and Jasper holding on to him and dragging him literally kicking and screaming out of the broken glass windows and into the forest that lay behind Harry's home.
"Calm lover, calm" Paul told Harry as he soothed the frazzled nerves of the small teen-aged wizard.
"I am sorry for Edward's outburst" Carlisle said properly, he knew that he too had to prove his worth to the small teen before he could even be considered something more than just a vampire of the area that needed to be watched.
"You don't have to apologize for something that you didn't do" Harry stated calmly, more calmly than he felt at the current moment in time.
"I think I do" Carlisle said before giving Harry a look, showing him that he clearly had issues with the behavior that he had just seen from Edward.
"I think it would be best if we left, is Esme free to stay?"
"I think it would be best if all of you would leave" Paul said making sure that he spoke the wishes of what Harry wanted and at that moment he wanted nothing to remind him of the vampires that stood before him or he at least thought that.
"No Esme can stay" Harry corrected Paul, he needed someone to talk to that was a vampire and the only person that he trusted enough for that was Esme.
"Are you sure lover?" Harry nodded his head which told Paul that he needed to get rid of most if not all of the wolves that were in the house currently.
"You're going..." Jacob didn't get to finish the thought for he was through the glass window by Quil and Embry and out into the forest as Edward had been before him by Japer and Emmett.
"Don't worry about him" Paul told Harry who had broken out of his hold and seemed to be cleaning up the mess that Paul and Edward had created. He knew even the smell of werewolf blood wouldn't be an issue for Esme, after all she had been doing this "vegetarian vampire" thing for quite some time, plus it was werewolf blood something no vampire would willing take if they didn't have to.
"Right" Harry said not really listening to Paul, he had no care for what Jacob Black had to say, he did always wonder though that with the Black's family coloring that maybe they were distantly related to the Blacks of the wizarding world. It wouldn't surprised him that was for sure, only time would tell on that though since Sirius would use all means necessary to fulfill the old man's plan and if that meant calling in a favor to his American counterparts then so be it; after all he wasn't ready to settle down as he told Harry when he had asked to live with him after he had graduated from Hogwarts and really had nowhere to go since the Dursleys for sure weren't going to allow him back into their house if they didn't need to. He had also gotten the famous line "you need your Aunt's blood protection" which was a huge lie since there would have to be love between them for there to be a bond in the first place.
"How are you holding up dear?" Esme asked as she stood next to Harry, who had by now cleaned up the area and replaced the glass with new panes taken from a piece of broken glass.
"Could be better" Harry answered honestly, it may have been Esme's words that had cut him but it was the rest of the coven's dealings with him that had cut even deeper, especially Edward's and now there was this new twist where Edward was acting as if he was a crazed vampire on a coeunt Luxuria something that had been rarely seen as it was rare to meet a vampire with a wizard or witch as a mate.
"I imagine you have questions" Esme said in such a way that put Harry at ease, it also eased a bit of the tension out of Paul's body to know that Harry trusted this one vampire, it may be a vampire but he knew that Esme would protect Harry and answer any questions he may have, for something odd had just occurred and a whole pack of wolves and vampires had witnessed it. Harry nodded his head which gave Paul the cue to push everyone out.
"Out the lot of you" Paul said in his best fake British accent, which had Harry laughing something that was music to every one's ears. It was rare to hear that noise coming from Harry these days since he had to deal with being thrown out of a family he thought accepted him for who he was and what had happened to him.
"I think I'll stay" Sam said which then had all of the wolves agreeing that staying was the best course of action given the history Harry had with these vampires.
"Sam, I think the pack really needs to leave on this" Paul said hoping that Sam wouldn't play his alpha card and stay which would in turn make everyone else stay for there was no doubt Harry was about to receive some interesting information about what the hell was going on. Sam gave Paul a look and found the answer to his unasked question.
"Pack it up, Harry needs some time alone with the vampire" Sam still refused to call them by their given names, but he would refer to them as vampires while in the presence of Harry. There was a collective groan but soon everyone was getting up and ready to go, which meant stripping down and dashing out the doggie door that Harry had installed for Paul. A shocked looking Esme made Harry smile, it wasn't everyday that you got to see a pack of men shift from a naked man to a wolf. It was just enough of a distraction that gave Paul the ability to pull Harry close and whisper to him:
"You need only call lover" Paul told Harry before shifting and making his way out the door and to wait in the yard should Harry call for him, since he wasn't going to leave the yard until Harry told him.
