Edward was frantically packing our belongings. I stood in front of the house still thinking about the brief interaction that just transpired. The movement in the house stopped and I glanced backwards. Edward was standing in the doorway with a worried look.
"Please come inside, Love." I nodded absentmindedly and followed him in. He started back at his packing.
"Edward," he froze completely and slowly turned towards me. His eyes were wide. "What was that man talking about?" He started fidgeting again under my intense stare. "Edward, don't make me ask you twice." He still didn't respond. I hated when I had to force him to do things. It always made me feel like a mother scolding her child. Whenever I thought back to the times where I had to use my HBIC tone on him, his reactions always made me think less of him. Why couldn't he just look me in the eyes and answer me honestly like an equal? I switched tactics and put on my loving wife face. "Babe, it's just you and me here." I walked up to him and kissed him lightly. "It's me Bella, the woman you married. The one you vowed to spend your eternity with. Talk to me. You know that whatever it is I can't stay mad at you long." Edward met my eyes and his irises lightened slightly. He suddenly lunged at me, pulling me into a hug in which his head was resting against my chest.
"I'm sorry, Bella, I just wanted to protect you from the sickness of the vampire world." He was slightly shaking so I gently caressed his hair.
"Babe, I don't know what you're talking about. You're gonna have to clarify." I cooed as best I could as I lowered us to the ground.
"I'm so weak, Bella! Esme likes to say that we are all a family, but we are just a coven, a pack of monsters." Edward started dry sobbing and I held him tighter. "I couldn't stand the thought of sharing you. I'm the Omega. No one is lower than me. If one of the other males wanted you I wouldn't be able to protect you. Running away was the only option." He looked up at me with pleading eyes, begging me to understand.
"You don't have to say any more, Edward." I cupped his face gently, his distress making my heart feel heavy. "We don't have to see any of the Cullens again or any other vampire for that matter. It can just be us, Edward and Bella." I could practically feel the tension leave his body. We spent the whole evening wrapped in each other's arms, just reveling in our own love.
HBIC- Head Bitch in Charge (A term my best friends often use to describe me lol)
Review please.
I love how most everyone just believes that Bellla is an Alpha...
