Bella's P.O.V
All was still when Leah walked into the living room with Irina. She looked a bit nervous and out of place given her natural skin tone to our pasty white ones. Esme, and Carmen was all but attached to my hip at this point. "Dr. Cullen, thank you for saving my life." Her womanly voice carried. Deep sighs were let lose but the grip on me wasn't.
"You are very welcome and congratulations on finding your mate." She looked over to Irina lovingly. I'm happy for her, really. If anyone deserved a mate it was her. "I'm afraid that I have to cut this short. The pack is coming soon."
"We know, Alice had a vision about it." She looked surprised at Jasper's words. "I thought you couldn't see us?" Alice smiled kindly at the woman.
"I couldn't but that changed the moment you imprinted on Irina. When you became family." She beamed at the word family. "I can honestly say it's an honor to join a family that actually wants me."
"What about the pack?" I ask, her answering growls were enough for Esme to pick me up and turn me away hissing. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle anyone. It's just, the pack has never cared about my well being. It's always been about power. Everything else is just collateral damage." The last few words trailed off, her sadness dripping off the end.
"You could never be collateral damage." Irina kissed her cheek and Leah swooned. "So I have a pet sister?" Oh kate, ever the one to break a moment up. But her joke lightened the mood. Leah growls playfully at her and kate accepts the challenge. Her signature smirk in place so you know this is may result in possible remodeling of the house.
"So Leah, just what are your intentions with my sister?" Leah meets her head on and replies without missing a beat.
" To make her happy, everything she desires that is within my power, I will give her. Protection sworn on my life, to love her more deeply than imaginable." Wow, that answer blew everyone's mind. There was a big pause in the room. All the women, myself included, looked about ready to jump Leah.
"I can't even finish my joke now. Damn that was good." Kate whispered out stunned. "You never say things like that to me." Rose picks at Emmett still looking at Leah.
Jasper breaks the tension next shaking his head and saying, "All right you've got to go. You keep sayin things like that and we all be mate less by the end of the month." Everyone laughs and settles into a nice comfortable atmosphere. It was after dinner that we all met back up again. New development meant a new game plan.
"I think that with everything so close we should start training and planning tactics." Jasper was taking the lead on this one. Everyone agreed thoroughly from their places. Speaking of places, Esme and Carmen were sending each other into another beast freak out. I could hear the little mumbles of 'mine' being thrown back and forth along with the light tugging of my arm. "If you two can't calm down I'm going to sit in between Carlisle and Eleazar." Both huff but take my warning to heart. I didn't miss the hopeful smiles of both men's faces either. With a smirk of amusement Jasper carried on with his plan.
"Everyone here has fighting experience expect for Charlie but it can always be improved. Eleazar, and Kate have fighting experience with the Voltori so they can aid me in teaching you all combative strikes."
"I could help. You could change me." Some purrs of approval were heard other's protested. "As much as we would like that newborns aren't very reliable in the first few months. You could be sporadic in a fight and hard to train. No offense Charlie."
"None taken." He smiles at Rose. "That's true, bella. It's nice to think of you as not so breakable but your emotions would be all over the place. Too hard to fight with during the actual fight." I slump in defeat. "No offense to my own kind but, you all stopped us so easily the night you crossed the boarder to get bella back. If that was with no training I don't wanna see experience fighting." Leah shuddered at the memory.
"That is true but if what you say is true about them bringing more wolves with them, we must be under the assumption that they are experienced fighters and we have to adjust, yourself included." She nods at Jasper in understanding.
"Wait, should we be saying this in front of her? I mean no offense but, don't you guys have the pack telepathy crap of whatever?" Victoria raised a good point. Leah shook her head no and explained.
"I was connected to the pack but since my beat down I was technically 'won over' by Edward so really, I'm apart of his pack now." Irina hissed. "What? How does that work? He's not even a wolf."
"It doesn't matter, with wolves it's domination. Alpha's can leave at any point or alpha bloodlines. I don't have alpha bloodlines in my family so I have to be dominated into following a rule. Since Jacob wasn't around to win me back over he lost me as a pack member." Confusion but some understanding was had. " So in order to 'take you from Edward's pack' we have to dominate you?" I asked curiously.
"Yes, which you might want to do soon. The wolf in me won't go willingly and my mate can't do it." Ah, now I know where this is going. And I thought vampires were back with instincts. "Irina you won't like this but it has to be done. I'll do it." A whimper leaves Irina's throat after Tanya's volunteer and she nuzzles Leah. "Ok then. We'll start in the morning." Jasper dismissed everyone for the night.
Before I left the room I was approached by victoria. "Bella, can I have a word with you?" Esme and Carmen growls. "Stop it you too, I swear. Sure victoria."
"Under supervision." Tanya cut in sternly. So damn cute. "I understand." I sat back down with Tanya by my side. I'm sure the other two were hovering somewhere close by but at least they left the room. "I want to start by apologizing for my past actions. I acted without thinking and taking into consideration all the facts about James and Laraunt." I was not expecting that. She looked rather shameful in her speech. "I know it will take some time for you to trust me but I want to build some sort of a relationship with you. Your father and I are basically married now and this is my chance to be apart of your family."
"Charlie hasn't really been there for me in the past but we can work on that. Are you sincere about getting to know me, tell me the truth." She stiffens a bit at first with a blank look before she settles again and replies, "Yes I am, I'm telling the truth."
"And are you sure that you are sorry for trying to hurt me and my family, tell me the truth." Again, she locks up with the same expression. Strange. "Yes I am, I'm telling the truth."
Tanya looks curious for a second before her face changes to one of surprise then pride. "Then it would be nice to know the real you and not the blood thirsty vengeful you." Her smile blinds me and I literally have to shield my eyes for a moment. "Dazzle! The dazzle! Tone down the damn dazzle!"
"Oh! Sorry." She thankfully stops. I let out a sigh of relief. "Ok, it's time for this human to get to sleep." There was a light scuffle in the other room then I was swooped up off the couch into cold arms. A smug looks Esme looked down at me while we passed a huffing Carmen. Tanya laughs at their antics along with victoria. "You two, I swear." My statement was met with a nuzzle and purr.
The following morning came too early in my opinion. I rolled over on to something soft and cold. The smell was amazing I couldn't help but rub my face back and forth. It wasn't until the purrs of approval that my eyes popped open and met with dark ones…and her breast. "I'm so sorry!" I freaked out and attempted to jump out of bed. Being me, the sheets became tangled and I had a one way ticket to the floor. In a flash I was caught with the same dark eyes but a kind smile. "thank you." I mumbled face flush with embarrassment.
"Don't worry about it, my love. I enjoyed every second of it." Her husky voice did wonderful things to my body. To my deeper embarrassment she took a deep breath and her eyes got that much darker. Her loud purrs took over the room and I was surrounded in her scent in seconds. Tanya leaned in her hands taking refuge under my shirt. Oh dear lord. Just as things were about to get a bit heated, the door burst open.
"Clam jam!" Was shouted by my bear of a brother with his big smile. Tanya turned on him with a growl and was chasing him out the door. I shook my head and shook off the dizzy feeling before making my way downstairs for breakfast. When I got to the bottom steps a blur of Emmett went by followed by Tanya, tailed by rose yelling at her to not hurt her mate. Kate shouted conga line before following rose and Carmen brought up the rear yelling at everyone to stop before they broke something.
Cold, gentle hands picked me up and I was surrounded by my dad's calming scent. "Morning sweetheart."
"Morning dad." He hugged me closer and brought me to the kitchen. Alice and Jasper sat amused probably listening to the commotion going on around the house. I pretended nothing happened and ate my food. Charlie and Victoria joined us during it with Riley. Full house.
"So bella, how did you sleep?" Charlie asked awkwardly. "It was good." This was awkward. The small talk between him and I but nothing I wasn't use to.
"That's good." The room felt a bit tense, well, just between him and I. "So, are you happy with Tanya?" I knew what he as doing and I didn't want to have this conversation with him. Never the less, I answered him. "Yes, extremely."
"Good." Another silence. Riley sighed heavily then put in, "For god sakes, he wants to do a better job about being in your life and knowing you but it's failing miserably. Humor the man."
"I know, and I am." Charlie looks excited for a bit. I put my fork down and continued. " You have to understand that a lot of time has passed between us. Long before the Cullens arrived we were nearly strangers. It's going to take a while to repair our ties, Charlie. I'm going to try out of respect for you but you can't push me."
"I won't I promise. Thank you, bella." The rest of breakfast passed smoothly.
"Alright now there are a few things you gotta remember when facing an opponent. Never turn your back on them. Always keep your senses open for potential side attacks, and don't let them isolate you. Wolves fight as a pack, under the leadership of one alpha. You let them get you alone and you will lose." I sat and watched everyone listen to Jasper explain. "First up Leah and Rose." The two took their places and waited. "Begin."
Leah jumped first straight on, rose side stepped her and slung her across the ground. Leah was the fastest wolf and her slender build made it kind of hard to catch her. She struck at rose and dodged her fist with ease moving to a new strike point. Rose was another site to watch. Her movements were cold hard math. Every strike had a purpose and every hit counted. Even with Leah a bit faster than her she was so painfully aware of her it was like it didn't matter. After a few minutes Rose had Leah pinned with her arms around her neck. "Point, Rose. Welcome to team Cullen by the way Leah." Jasper words confused us until we remembered our talk yesterday. Leah stood on her paws and bowed at rose in submit first then nodded to Jasper.
"Eleazar, Victoria. Begin." Eleazar broke first with test punches to Victoria before picking it up. The red-head dodged and countered using his body weight against him. It was pretty even match for a while. I noticed Victoria's body sometimes moving to a new location milliseconds before Eleazar got to her. It looked almost involuntary. Even still he had her on the ropes, just he was about to pin her Charlie snapped and headed for him. Eleazar didn't even budge, just dodged Charlie's hits along with Victoria's.
It was almost like a dance with the man. Charlie would throw a punch Eleazar would spin out the way. He would strike Charlie and counter Victoria's hit with him own. Surprisingly, in a matter of moments he had both Charlie and Victoria pinned smiling down at the snarling newborn.
"He's awesome." I breathe out much to Carlisle's jealousy. " You have to calm Charlie down victoria." he says smoothly. She grabs Charlie and whispers to him until he's still. I knew if he could he's be blushing at his behavior.
"It's ok Charlie. It's good that that happened. One, to see what it was like to fight both calculated and pure instinct. Also, I believe you have a power Victoria." Eleazar said holding out his hand. She took it and he nodded briefly. "Yes, indeed you do. It seems as if you have the power of self preservation. No matter what your body will move to the safest location even on it's on accord." She looked happy at the development.
"Nicely done both of you. Next, Tanya and Kate." Kate is the first to go to the center of the field jumping up and down. "Never seen you so eager to get your ass handed to you." Kate rolls her eyes.
" Please, don't hold back sister."
"Not in my nature." Both women hit like lightening. Kate got the upper hand on Tanya but a well placed kick evened out the playing field a bit more. Describing Kate's technique to nature, hmm, a cheetah. She was fast and watched her prey before striking with deadly force. Tanya was something else entirely. She was like a rattle snake, stinging and just as quick as Kate. Kate jumped to latch on to Tanya and at the last second she moved. Tanya grabbed kate by the neck and struck her down to the ground with a thunderous boom. It's sad that I was sinfully turned on by the woman. The power was uncanny and in the end, "Point, Tanya." She bested kate.
Alice moved with such grace it looked like it was all a game to her. She literally twirled around Irina. The youngest blond was like a wild fire, she would start as a threat but build with such fury it was devastating. I kept thinking about Tanya fighting with kate and the way her body moved. Every twist of her slim waist and stomach that was exposed to the air. Long legs swinging out to trip kate. I didn't realize I was so into it and became too aroused.
The current matched stopped and every vampire took a big breath of the air. Oh for the love of god. My face was about to burn off and I hid in my hands. I could feel their eyes watching me but had no desire to brave their looks. "I'm flattered." Tanya whispered kissing my cheek. It did nothing to help my blush. Thankfully the tension was diverted by quick, loud feet.
Everyone was alert and ready now. I was in my vampire cocoon with the wall in front of me snarling and ready. It was closer now and coming with great speed. None of us were prepared for what came next. A brown blur passed every vampire ignoring them before pouncing on Leah in a deathly… hug? Irina snarled was about to interfere until I recognized the big man.
"Seth?" He ignored the questioning looks and continued to sob and cling to his sister.
Leah whimpered and nuzzled his face with her snout. "Don't you ever do that do me again, you hear me?" His teary plea came out. Everyone stood down after that. Leah shifted back naked as a jay bird and returned his hug eagerly. "I'm sorry. What are doing in Alaska?"
"I'm here because the last thing I saw you was that bastards face leaning over you. You were-you were so hurt a-and I couldn't- I thought-" He was back in tears and gently pulled into a hug again. The scene was heartbreaking and warming all at the same time. Everyone looked understanding towards the native boy and his shaking form. It wasn't until a loud gasp was voiced that they broke away and we all faced Riley. Seth turned to face the man in question before he gasped as well and a dope grin crossed his face. Oh he did not just-
(A/N: Seth's voice Italics. Riley's Voice normal.)
Seth and Riley's P.O.V
It was like my body was in perfect harmony for the first time in my life. The sun hitting his dazzling skin was mesmerizing. Jesus he was beautiful.
The light shade of tan skin caressed all my senses in just the perfect way. This god-like being staring into my soul and calling to me. My heart exploded with love at the mere site of him.
This was a dream. Please don't wake me up.
How did I get so lucky?
Don't wake up.
I've never been so happy.
Never wake up.
Time is stopped and the air is singing around us.
I'm so far gone now.
He as a whole was just- Gorgeous.
Perfection.
:D Mostly humor and fluff but the action will come back soon. Have a good day all. Rage on.
