Chapter Twenty-Five

"But Victor," Marjorie started, her eyes showing hints of betrayal as she looked at her newest pack member. "Why would you want to?"

He gave a mere shrug. "Because the Volturi do not decide what I do, nor do they decide what we Children of the Moon do. They might've been able to trick the vampires into ruling them, but I won't let myself go to their level. No, the age of the vampires will soon come to an end and the age of Children of the Moon is soon upon us." He smirked as he took a step forward, obviously wanting the spotlight as he turned his back on us dramatically.

"It all started back in England. Nadia knows this much. A pack of werewolves descended onto our village and tore it apart, killing any human insight. Fortunately, though, they decided to turn a few of us; the ones with promise." Victor turned to look at Nadia. "It's a pity you didn't join the pack. Your ruthlessness would've come in handy."

Nadia snorted. "Don't get me confused with you, jackass."

Victor ignored her jab as he continued on with his story. "They sent most of us free, except for me. They wanted me because of my cunning and because I had the same mindset as them. I always knew I was meant for more than a pathetic human life as a blacksmith or a farmer, so when they gave me the chance to become a soldier of an unstoppable army, I was quick to jump at the chance."

He sighed. "Unfortunately, my newfound pack soon dissipated. The purge had hit us hard. One by one we were dying, almost like flies, and when I was the last one in my pack left, I decided to take care of the problem head on. I managed to get into the castle in Volterra and slide past the guards, and when I was close enough, I attacked Caius, giving him three scars on his face and a bite wound on his shoulder." Victor looked smug as he smirked at his long-ago victim.

Caius, on the other hand, hissed. "That is why you must die, foul beast!"

"Only if you can catch me," Victor said, his smirk deepening before he ran off. Caius let out a growl before he, along with Alec and Felix, charged after him.

Alice turned to look at me, her expression apologetic, so I knew that she would want to talk to me.

Quickly I phased into my human form, several members of my pack following suit, and I threw on the tank top and shorts I carried with me.

I walked towards Alice and crossed my arms, raising an eyebrow at her.

"I know, I know. I shouldn't have left without telling you but I needed to do this and the less people who knew my plan the better. I just…" she pouted before wrapping her arms around me, nuzzling my neck as she pressed her lips to my neck. "I just missed you."

With a sigh I gave in and wrapped my arms around her, hugging her back. From the corner of my eye, however, I noticed Jane staring at us. I wondered why she didn't run off with Caius and the others and from the look in her eyes I could easily tell why.

She was jealous.

Alice followed my gaze and caught Jane staring. A hiss developed in her chest as she turned to Jane. "What is it that you want? You could've run off with Caius but you didn't. What could possibly be interesting to you?"

Jane grimaced as Alice barked at her, but soon enough she regained composure. "Why didn't you stay with me when you had the chance?"

Alice let out a small growl but otherwise remained silent.

With a sigh, Jane turned around. "Aro will be pleased to know we found you," she muttered before running off after her master.

I turned to Alice. "What was that about?" If I could guess, I'd say that the two of them had a liaison together.

Alice shrugged and grabbed my hand. "Come with me. I think we should talk."

A/N: Oh noes. Bella and Alice are going to talk.

Don't worry. Since Bella imprinted on Alice, she can't stay mad at her for too long. They'll be back to them normal selves soon.

And I should tell you that there are four more installments of this story to look forward too. I wrote them before I started on Lunar Soul and I did exactly what was written in the timeline. It's my freaking timelines' fault it's short. My planning sucks apparently, haha.

Next time, Alice and Bella talk and Nadia...apologizes? What?
