"Rosalie," Daniel called, walking into the living room of the Cullen house in search of Rosalie. She wasn't in the garage like she normally was working on cars and she wasn't in her room either.
"I'm here." She called out, letting her voice guide him towards her.
"Hey, what are you doing out here?" Daniel asked, coming to a stop at the patio doors connecting to the large balcony. He walked out a second later and walked up behind Rosalie, wrapping his arms around her waist and nuzzling her neck. He let out a content sigh.
"I was just relaxing, thinking about what I'm going to tell you and how you'll react." She sighed, letting her hands cover Daniel's and pulled them around her tighter.
Daniel frowned for a second, confused. "What do you mean?" He asked.
"I haven't told you about me yet; about my story..." She trailed off, turning in his embrace to cup his face in her hands delicately.
Daniel leaned his head further into her hands and then moved his head forward until he gently pressed his forehead to Rosalie's. "You don't have to." He said. "I won't make you." He breathed.
"I want to tell you." She replied, letting her eyes flutter closed.
A throat clearing behind them made them both turn, seeing Carlisle stood looking at them with his hands held together. "I'm sorry to interrupt," He apologised. "But we need to discuss something."
Rosalie sighed, pulling out of Daniel's embrace and instead chose to stand next to him and hold his hand. "What's the problem?" She asked.
"I just got off the phone with the elders from the La Push tribe." Carlisle started.
"What do they want now? We haven't broken any rules of the treaty." Rosalie growled.
"Yes, I know. That's not what they wanted to talk about." He sighed, unlocking his hands and sticking them into his slack pockets instead.
Rosalie gasped. "Daniel." She realised.
Daniel frowned again. "About me?"
Carlisle nodded his head yes. "They arranged a meeting half an hour from now. They want us to meet them at the treaty line to discuss Daniel. Since he got in a fight with the alpha, I would assume that they want to put a new treaty in place."
"Absolutely not-!" Rosalie started, but was cut off.
"I'll do it." Daniel said.
Rosalie whirled and turned to look at him. "You will not!" She shouted.
Daniel sighed again. "Rosalie; the sooner I tell them to back off, the sooner we can get back to us and not worry about them. They won't try to start anything after I beat their alpha. It'll be fine." He said, smiling as he kissed Rosalie's cheek.
Rosalie didn't say anything; she knew he had a point, but it still wasn't ideal. The wolves of La Push were petty creatures.
Daniel turned to Carlisle and nodded at the man. "I'll meet them."
Carlisle gave them a quick smile before heading to find the rest of the family to tell them that they would be going to the meeting too, just as a precaution. Everyone agreed and began getting ready for the inevitable meeting of the wolves.
(Treaty Line)
Half an hour later, they were all stood at the treaty line. Daniel and Rosalie stood to the left of Carlisle and Esme that were in the middle. Jasper and Alice were in a similar position next to Carlisle and Esme. Emmett stood next to Rosalie.
The wolves showed up 10 minutes later, late to their own meeting. The wolves scattered around the alpha and then an old rusty truck pulled up. Some older men got out and stood amongst the wolves.
"You're late." Daniel said, looking each of the wolves in the eyes to show if they tried anything then he would fight.
"Sorry about that, but my truck here broke down and I had to fix it." A man said in a wheelchair and Daniel saw it was Billy Black.
"Let's get this meeting over with. No laws of the treaty have been broken so there was no point in having this meeting." Rosalie snarled after the wolves growled at them.
"This meeting isn't for you leeches; it's for Daniel." Sam spoke up, snarling at Rosalie in his human form.
Daniel growled straight back, meeting Sam's stare head on. Sam was the first to look away.
"Don't you dare try to pull shit Sam; I kicked your ass for it the first time and I'll do it again. Only this time I'll kill you." Daniel snarled, rubbing it in the alpha's face that he had been beaten and only spared because of Rosalie interfering.
"Now, now everyone," Carlisle intervened, trying to defuse the situation. "What's this meeting about?"
"We called this meeting to place because we are here to give you 2 options on how we proceed with our arrangements. There is only 2 options for you to chose from." Billy said.
"What makes you think you can just give us 2 options and think we'll accept your bullshit?!" Rosalie snarled at them. She wanted to rip Billy's head off, and she would have if Daniel didn't wrap his arms around her in a tight embrace.
"We can do what we want! We were here on this land long before you leeches showed up and we are only allowing you to be here because you don't drink the blood of humans! Know your place leech!" Another old man said, stepping up to stand beside Billy.
"Let's just calm down?" Carlisle said, trying to make sure that nothing broke out into a fight. "What are the options?" He asked, holding Esme's hand tighter when she squeezed it.
"Just say what the options are! You're cutting into the time that I could be spending with Rosalie!" Daniel shouted, his irritation and agitation showing as he carefully eyed the wolves.
Daniel could feel it; the need to claim Rosalie. Having all of the La Push wolves around were setting his instincts on high alert and even though Rosalie didn't have his claim on her he still wanted the mutts to know that Rosalie was his even without having his official claim.
Billy scowled, but went to speak. "The first option is that Daniel leaves the Cullen's and cuts off all contact. He will take over Sam's place as alpha and will be around his own kind. The second is that he stays out of our business and stays on that side with a new treaty. It will be the same for him just you Cullen's, only he must abide by the same things to avoid problems." Billy finished, ignoring Sam's outraged face and the disgust on the Cullen's faces.
Daniel laughed. "You actually think I'm going to leave Rosalie to play in the mud with you little mutts? No way!" He said, chuckling to himself. "Even if I did join your pack I'm half vampire so that wouldn't work either way. I'll take the second option you so gladly gave." He said, rolling his eyes.
The wolf's jaws dropped and so did the elders. Being half vampire half wolf was impossible.
Carlisle clapped his hands, trying to hide his smirk. "If that is all me and my family will be returning home." He said.
"Are you being serious?! I came all the way out here for this shit when I could have been playing the new Battlefield?! They could have said this over the damn phone!" Emmett shouted, scowl on his face as he glared at the La Push wolves and elders.
This time the whole Cullen clan laughed. Carlisle set off running home with Esme following, then Jasper and Alice and then Emmett. Rosalie set off too.
Daniel turned and walked up to the treat line as far as he could go. "If you ever try to pull this shit again I will finish what you start and this time," He said, meeting Sam's eyes. "I won't hesitate to finish the job." He threatened, walking backwards and transforming into his wolf, standing taller and bigger than the other wolves.
He threw in a ferocious snarl and bared his teeth at the wolves, noting the whimpers and lowered heads in submission. He gave them all one last look before following after the Cullens.

A few hours later after the meeting with the wolves the Cullen's were relaxing, enjoying being in the company of each other. Jasper was playing chess with Carlisle while Alice sat in his lap reading a magazine. Esme and Rosalie were looking at designs of a room that was featuring cars and Daniel and Emmett were playing on his PS4.
Daniel's character died and he sat on the edge of the couch, stretching out his back. He stood up and set off out of the living room, heading into Rosalie's room and dropping onto her bed. He set his head on a pillow and used his arm to cover his eyes. There was a threat looming around the corner; he could feel it.
He just enjoyed being surrounded by Rosalie's scent, letting it calm him down.
"So this is where you snuck off to." Rosalie said.
Daniel uncovered his eyes and turned his head to the side. Rosalie was leaning against her bedroom door frame, her arms crossed as she stared at him. She bit her lips when she could see his abs from where his shirt had rode up.
Pouting, he held out his arm to her, wishing she would be cuddling with him. He looked at her, adding on more charm to the pout as he met Rosalie's eyes. "Rosie." He whined, shaking his arm a bit.
Rosalie shook her head with a smile, walking into her room and shutting the door with her leg. She climbed onto her bed and crawled up until she was comfortable resting on Daniel, effectively straddling the boy under her.
Looking down at him she gently traced his face with her hand, running her other through his hair before she leaned down and gave him a quick kiss. She couldn't help the giggle that left her mouth when he followed after her lips, sitting up himself so he could kiss Rosalie more.
They shared another quick kiss before the house was suddenly silent and tense. Daniel frowned and Rosalie did too. A scent wafted around and Daniel jumped in alarm, sliding out from under Rosalie and running down the stairs to the front door where Esme was talking to a woman.
"Louise!" Daniel screamed, recognising the woman and immediately pulled the girl in his arms, letting out an incredulous breath. "Oh my god..." He cried, squeezing harder. "I thought you were dead." He cried, feeling arms wrap around him. He kept mumbling things into her shoulder.
After an hour of Daniel clinging to Louise and her gently holding him, she noted the family had let them have their time which means they probably knew about what had happened. She could also smell a scent, a mated scent that clung to Daniel and the blonde haired woman.
She pried Daniel's arms off of her and stood facing all of the vampires around her. "We have a problem; the ones who took us are coming and they're bringing war to us." She said.
