AN: I own nothing…. There is now a banner made for this story on my profile PLEASE check it out! SO sorry for the long wait.

Chapter 21

Riley POV-

Once our hands meet it feels as if the world exploded as so many thoughts flooded my mind and I quickly let go of Edward's hand.

Seth is by my side in an instant and my hand curls into his soft fur as he asks if I am alright. Through Seth I can hear the other shifter Jacob, he was staring at me, his thoughts weary on if I could be trusted.

"Yeah I think so, sorry that's never happened. Seth it was all so loud." I look from Seth's wolf form to the vampire Edward who was now wrapped in the arms of Jasper.

Jasper POV-

The moment Riley and Edward touch I feel pain erupt from Riley.

"I'm ok love." Edward whispers to me as I wrap my arms around him, before turning to look at the other vampire. I was curious about this male.

"Your power is that you use others hearing, isn't it?" My love questions, a smirk on his face as Riley nods.

Slowly I use my power to calm all of the tension in the air and before we knew it the rest of the family and shifters had arrived and we were collecting pieces of the destroyed vampire and setting his pieces on fire.

I could feel all of the shifters disappointment about not being able to kill him. Though as Riley told them about Seth fighting causing the young shifter too feel slightly embarrassed, possibly from all the attention and the pride his pack was now feeling.

I would have to admit it was a big thing; the young shifter was able to better a vampire. Shifters were made to fight in packs, it's not very often they survive a fight one on one. As the shifters walk off to shift back to human, I study Riley who now stood before the family alone.

He was young, possibly as young as Edward when changed. But he was also not that old of a vampire. His nerves increased as he stood before the family. Alice was holding his arm and chatting to him as he asked about our ability to feed off of animals. He was hesitant to believe it, though he also seemed hopeful about it.

"But what if I slip?" He asks the same question all of us had asked at one point or other.

"As long as you attempt to abide by our lifestyle, any slip will be forgiven." Carlisle answers for us just as Seth and the other shifters rejoin us.

Edward POV-

Riley joined our family three months ago, and with no slips everything was going well, especially relations between us and the shifters.

Young Seth had practically moved in and was seen as a brother to us. Jasper especially had taken him under his wing and even helped Seth improve on his fighting. Jasper claimed that Seth was a natural and reminded him of Peter, someone he hadn't seen since he let peter run.

Edward, are you going to tell me where you are dragging me? Jasper asks a smile on his face as I squeezed out intertwined hands. Jaspers birthday was days away and I had planed a special surprise for him, and was determined to keep it a surprise.

"You're not going to get it out of me Jasper." I say turning to look at him. "Just sit back and enjoy the ride babe."

Jaspers not happy about my answer, but stops pushing.

We make it to the hotel just before sunrise.

I knew he would recognize the scent on the air right when he stepped out of the car, but that was ok, this was his surprise.

Edward how did you? His question stops mid thought as two vampires exit the hotel and run human speed towards us.

"Jasper." Peter says as his arms wrap tightly around my love.

"Peter it's… it's…. oh this is…" Jasper seemed at a lost for words as he looked from Peter to me.

"Edward, nice to meet you in person." Peter says, holding out his hand to shake mine as Charlotte steps forward and greets us.

We visit with them for hours.

It's midnight when we find ourselves alone, in the nicest suite of the hotel.

"Thank you for today love." Jasper says as I pull him down onto the bed with me.

"Happy birthday, Jazzy. I am so happy to have you." I whisper as his hands go to my shirt buttons.

"Forever?" He questions, pushing my shirt off of my shoulders and exposing my chest, as I unbutton his own shirt.

"Forever." I confirm, pulling my lover, my mate towards me into a kiss.

AN: I hope you enjoyed it. I'm so sorry for the long wait. I was having a hard time winding my plot back to this ending that I wrote months ago. I hope you had enjoyed this story :) I Do Not Know if there will be a spin off, obviously Seth and Riley do have a story. It's just not a planned story of mine right now. I will miss these boys. Thank you all who have taken this journey with me by reading and reviewing.
