A/N I need to give a huge "Thank you" to my beta KareBear1965, and my prereader sinfulroad69. They both are awesome in helping to make this chapter better. I love ya girls. Again, there is some action but mostly filler. The next chapter will pick up and we will be getting to some fighting. Not sure if it will be the next chapter or the one after it that there will be some huge surprises. Again, sorry for the wait, I have been working like crazy and haven't had much time to write. This week I work 10 days in a row, so please try to bear with me. I promise to do my best to try to get these chapters out faster. Enjoy.

Jasper POV

Bella and I have had the last few days all to ourselves. For us being parents this is a rare thing. Usually, to get more than a few hours alone we have to go into the woods. So, to be able to stay inside, and in a bed, and have a shower available is fucking awesome.

The thing is we haven't spent that much time in the bed. We have made love, or fucked on just about every area of this building. I was thinking about trying to get my mate to do the building next to this one. Maybe eventually, have all the rooms in every building used for our pleasure.

We had just gotten back from hunting when my cell phone rang. I was a little shocked as Carlisle said that no one would be calling unless it was an emergency, or there was something we needed to know. I just hoped that the kids were alright. With all of the shit going on, both Bella and I were worried about them.

We both had found it easier to be alone without worrying about them while they were with the family. This time was different though. There were some major threats out there, just waiting for the right opportunity to strike. Yet, my mate and I really needed to reconnect in a major way; it made us stronger as a mated couple, and as parents.

We can't deal with this shit when we are frustrated and angry. We both knew this, and so we made sure that we took the time with each other. It might be awhile before we can be alone again. I found out the "hard" way, that it's much easier to deal with the kids, when I'm not wanting to rip Bella's clothes off and fuck her senseless.

Bella was standing next to me instantly when I pulled my phone out. She has always had a thing about knowing something was going on with the kids. She had been uneasy the last few hours, and she couldn't really say why, except that something was up.

When she looked at the caller ID, her emotions shifted into worry. I have to be honest; I was worried myself. Carlisle had said that it would be best to not have any contact, at least until it was time to start killing the others off. Even though he promised that he would call if the need arose.

Bella and I were missing the kids, but knew that in order for our plan to work, they had to play the grieving kids, mourning the death of their parents. I hated that we had to do this to them, and it made me angrier than I already was. I wanted badly to rip some fucking heads off!

Unfortunately, Carlisle asked Bella if he could speak to me alone. He explained that he had something he needed to tell me, and that he felt it was best to have me tell her when we were done talking. Of course, she didn't like that and quickly jumped to the wrong conclusions.

I had to use my gift on her, which pissed her off. Carlisle talked to her for a few minutes and assured her that it was something he felt that would be best coming from me, and it had nothing to do with the kids. They were fine, and safe for now.

I told him to hold on while I ran far enough away that she wouldn't be able to hear us. Once I was far enough away, he started talking. He told me about the wolf pack, and that he had contacted them, and asked for their help. The fact that the treaty was still, in effect, made it easier to ask them.

I knew that they only wanted humans safe from the "cold ones", and since we needed their help to stop the shit going on, the treaty being in place, and the fact that we had proven ourselves to be able to abstain from human blood; they were more than willing at least to listen and see what was going on.

The problem was obvious though. Shape shifters were highly emotional, and easily angered. I knew that they were what some humans would call "hot headed", and would attack first and ask questions later. It was clear when I met the alpha's imprint, Emily.

Sam had apparently gotten angry and lost control, phasing in front of her. She had scars running down one side of her face. It seems though that the younger they are, the more volatile they are. I found that out when Carlisle and I had to meet with them, when Ethan, and Bella came to live with us in Forks.

We felt that in order to make sure that they understood that we were not breaking the treaty, they needed to know about Bella, and the fact she wasn't all human. They also needed to know about the threats from other vampires, that were coming around.

Neither Carlisle nor I wanted to ask for their help at the time. We just wanted them to be aware so that they could protect their people better. It was really a "vampire" matter, even though humans were in danger of being attacked, if they went into the woods alone. I think that the pack spread rumors around to keep humans out of the woods.

I understood why Carlisle felt as though we would need their help. They would be Caius' worst nightmare, even though they weren't actual werewolves. That plus the fact that no one would EVER expect them to be here. This would be a huge advantage for us.

The main problem besides their tempers would be getting everyone to understand the boundaries. The wolves would have no doubt a problem with Laya and CJ, and that could be a huge problem for us.

When they found out about Bella, they wanted to kill Ethan for touching a human in that manner. We had to explain that he was married to the girl, and she knew exactly what he was. Then we had to tell them about Renee, Ethan's daughter. They were told everything, including about the death of Bella's parents.

They did thank us for letting them know, and said that they would be paroling their land. We were reminded to stay on our side of the line. At this point, stepping over the line would be death for us. They would kill every vampire that crossed it. That is where we left everything, until we moved.

I wasn't sure about having the kids around them, but Carlisle assured me that they would be safe. I told Carlisle to make sure that the kids understood to be careful around the wolves, and to stay calm, even if the wolves were provoking them. Now, I had the hard job, of telling my mate.

She didn't even know about the wolves. Now, I would have to tell her about them, and then tell her they were here, and with the kids. I needed to make sure that she understood that as long as the kids kept calm, there shouldn't be a problem. Oh fuck!

I wasn't completely convinced that the kids were safe, how in the fuck am I going to try to get her to believe that they were? On top of this fucking shit, she's pissed off because Carlisle wanted to talk to me privately. I don't blame him though, he was right to tell me this first, I just fucking wish I didn't have to tell her.

Carlisle had told me to call him back once I had Bella calmed down. She would be worried about the kids, and would want them away from the pack. Right now, I have no clue as to how she would take the news that the pack would be coming here.

I hung up after promising to call after I had explained everything to my mate. They would keep the wolves there until I called him back telling him that the coast was clear so to speak. Something was telling me that this was going to end badly. I would just have to send her calm while I was telling her.

I slowly headed back to the building where we were staying at. Fuck, this wasn't going to end well. Bella was already pissed at me. Well, actually, it was Carlisle's idea for us to talk without her overhearing us, but she was still pissed. I'm beginning to think that she was turned while going through PMS.

When I was close enough to feel her, I knew I was once again in trouble. She was more than just a little pissed; she seemed to be in one of her rages. It didn't happen often, but when it did, well, let's just say it was wise to stay out of her way.

She was standing, staring out of the window that was in our bedroom here. I went over to pull her into my arms, but she pulled away. That. Was. Not. Happening. Again. I quickly grabbed her, and pinned her arms down while hugging her.

"Baby, I know you're pissed off about Carlisle not wanting us to talk in front of you. It's not that we are hiding anything, it just that he had some news, and he felt it best if I was the one to tell you. This is like one of those conversations that you will find it hard to believe since you've never heard anything about it, or should I say, them."

She looked up at me, and I felt her anger level going down. It was still there, but at least I wouldn't have to fight her to hold her in my arms. I let her arms go, but moved my arms, so they were still around her waist. I just needed to hold her, but I have to admit, that it was also to keep her from running until I could finish what needed to be said.

I was grateful that we had already hunted, but I have a feeling that once everything, sunk in she might need to hunt again, especially, when she found out the wolves were coming here. I asked her if we could sit on the bed, and if she would allow me to hold her while, I was telling her about what was going on. She said yes.

I got on the bed and pulled her down with me. I put my legs on each side of her, and then pulled her so that her back was against my chest. Again, this was to keep her from bolting if necessary. I made sure that my arms were around her waist. When she sighed after being pulled against me, I knew that her anger was gone, for now.

I told her about the Cullens time in Forks, before I joined the family. I then went on about how they found the Quileute tribe, or should I say they found the Cullens. Now, here comes the hard part. I told her that they were shape shifters and turned into huge wolves, and they did this to protect humans from vampires.

She started laughing! It turned into full belly laughs until I sent her some, I'm dead serious vibes. Her laughter stopped so abruptly that if she had been human, she might have choked. I could feel her shock, and then her anger.

Her anger was directed at the wolves though. I quickly explained that Carlisle had made a treaty with them, and therefore, as long as we kept our part of the treaty that, our family was safe from them, and they were safe from us. I knew that I needed to tell her everything, or else she would be really angry about withholding shit from her.

While I couldn't explain everything because I didn't know that much about the wolves themselves, I was able to tell her that they apparently had mates like we did. I had to tell her that they also had tempers that could be set off easily. She needed to understand that we had to be careful around them as to what was said or done.

Then I had to tell her about the alpha's mistake with his mate. I told her that she had been too close when he phased. He had apparently been angry, and lost control. I also had to tell her that vampires were their only enemies as far as I knew, and that yes, they could kill vampires.

Now, here comes the hardest part, "Carlisle called them to ask for their help. That's what the phone call was about. He wanted to let me know that they agreed to come and help. He knew that you had never known about them, and that you needed to know and be prepared for their presence."

Being a mama, she asked the first question that I myself had asked, "Are the kids safe around them?"

I told her that them being half human would make them safe, at least that's what Carlisle had told me. I told her that we had always had to be very careful around them because they were sometimes too hot headed to listen to reason. They were young, and mostly boys when they first phased.

I went on to explain that while they couldn't disobey a direct command from the alpha, sometimes they would act first. While the alpha could stop the attack, it might be too late if it was after they had lunged, and therefore, probably have injuries. It was necessary to try to keep everyone calm around them.

I told her that Laya would be using her gift on everyone. My mate then asked again, "Are you and Carlisle sure that the kids are safe? Didn't you say that they hate vampires?"

"Yes, they do. But they also understand that we do not harm humans. It's because of everything going on with humans that they even agreed to come listen, and see what was going on. They have agreed to help." I explained to her.

"Wait, did you say that Laya would be using her gift to help with the meeting? Will she be safe? Where in the fuck, will they be staying? What do they eat?" she asked.

"They hunt and eat fresh raw meat while in their wolf form. In their human form, they eat human food, and tons of it from what Carlisle told me. And as to where they will be staying. Well, actually, they will be staying here at this compound with us. And yes, Laya was going to use her gift, to keep the meeting civil. I'm sure it went well." I told her.

It only took me a second to realize my mistake. It took her even less time, "Wait, what in the fuck do you mean by you're sure it went well? When are they supposed to get here, or are they already here?"

OH SHIT, was all I could think. She turned and glared at me, "I think I asked you a question, Major. When in the fuck are they going to be here? No wait, please do NOT tell me they are already here, and that our kids are with them."

"Okay, I won't!" I tried smirking. It didn't work.

"Do you mean that our kids, my babies, are with those fucking pack of wolves right now? Why in the fuck are you just sitting here?" she growled out.

I never got another word out. She spun and flipped her body out of my grasp and took off. She went straight out the window, breaking the glass, and going down several stories. She was fast when it came to protecting her babies, and by the time I was up to the window, she had already made it several miles, and I could barely see her.

I took off after her. This is exactly, what would set the wolves off, an angry vampire. It wouldn't matter that she was just trying to make sure the kids were safe. I needed to stop her before she got herself hurt or worse, killed. Besides the fact, we really needed the wolves to help us.

Of course, I never could catch up to her. The problem being that once we were close enough to smell them, I felt the urge to vomit, and that slowed me down just a fraction. I almost had her before that.

The emotions coming from everyone didn't help me either. There was an enormous amount of fear, loathing, rage, and curiosity. The scene that I saw when I finally got there was enough almost to make me fearful for my family.

I had seen enough to know exactly what happened and to know that I needed to stop Bella, and stop the wolf without hurting either. Apparently, the wolf didn't like Laya being curious about a female in the pack. I will have to admit that I wanted to rip the bastard apart for trying to attack Laya, but right now there was too much at stake to do it.

I would just have to settle for stopping my mate from killing his fucking wolf ass. Unfortunately, I got into the fight too late. I just jumped in just as Bella let go of the wolf. She had crushed one side of his body and basically crushed the bones on that side.

Her instincts were in high gear, and she turned and attacked me. I knew that I couldn't do what I would normally do. This is my mate and I cannot hurt her, yet I needed to get out of her grasp and try to calm her down, so, I spun, and flipped.

While I did get out of her grasp, my left arm was ripped off. It had been years since this shit had happened, and the pain was intense. It was also added to the fucking pain that I felt coming from the wolf. There was also the fear coming from the family about what was going on. The rage that I was feeling from Bella, as well as some of the pack members was also intense. It was all overwhelming me.

While I am used to being bombarded by the emotions of others, it was times like this that I really cursed my gift. I was weak from having a limb removed, which made the emotions even more intense. It was the pain that I was feeling from first Bella, and then Laya.

I had doubled over, on the floor almost in a fetal position from the intensity of all of the shit I was feeling. What I couldn't understand was, why was I feeling pain from my mate? I didn't think she had been injured. Then, I heard a sound that felt like thousands of daggers going into my chest. I heard my baby girl scream.

Bella POV

As soon as I heard Jasper yell when he flipped and his arm came off in my hand, I came out of my blinding rage. While it was still there, the fact that I had hurt Jasper brought me out enough to know that I had indeed caused him pain.

I looked over at him, and sure enough he was in a fetal position on the floor. I didn't need to have his gift; I could see the pain all over his body. He was shaking, and I could tell that he was fighting to keep from screaming. What kind of monster am I to have hurt him like that?

If only he hadn't had tried to stop me from killing the fucking dog that was attacking my baby. I could feel my instincts to kill the bastard starting to take over again; I really needed to kill him. The fucking wolf thought he could just attack, just because he didn't fucking like vampires.

He had come here of his own accord or at least his alpha's command. He was in our territory, how dare him try to attack first and ask questions later. As soon as Jasper told me that they were unstable, and were here already, I understood why I was feeling like my kids were in danger.

All I knew was that one or both of my babies were in danger and needed me. Obviously, my instincts that had always been right, had kicked in before the wolves even got here. That much I knew, because I had been feeling this shit for a day or two. I just thought it was because of this Jack that was coming.

I felt myself get even angrier because of the wolf that attacked. Jasper said that the pack members have no choice but to obey the alpha when he gives a command. If that's true, then this means that the alpha agreed that this fucking dog needed to kill my baby girl. I was going to kill his fucking wolf ass first, then finish off the one who tried to do it. I turned straight towards the one that I felt was the alpha since he was standing in front of the rest of pack.

They would be much easier to fucking kill as they were still in their human forms. I crouched to attack when I heard something that actually put fear into me. I heard my baby girl scream out. It sounded like a scream of pain, and when I looked over at her, she had passed out.

She might be half human, but she has never passed out. Seeing this brought me out of my crouch, and my rage simmered down but was still there. I quickly flitted over to her body laying on the ground. I called Ethan to come and check her out, as Carlisle was tending to the fucking dog.

Jasper had managed to pick himself up and was also at her side. He picked her up as best he could with his one arm still missing, and placed her head gently in his lap. I sat down next to him and took her hand to let her know that I was there.

Peter picked up Jasper's arm and came over to his other side and proceeded to reattach his arm. I knew that it would hurt almost as bad as being removed, but he never even flinched. He was too worried about our baby girl even to notice Peter doing anything.

Ethan quickly checked her over and told us that as far as he could tell, she had just fainted. He said that when Jasper had been feeling overwhelmed by all of the emotions he had been projecting, and he thought that with her own ability to feel emotions that it was just too much for her; she passed out.

He told us just to talk to her, and have Jasper send her some peace. Not enough to make her want to sleep. I knew that Jasper was now feeling guilty for projecting, so I put my arm around him and sent him love, forgiveness, and acceptance. It did the trick, and he was able to send her his love, and peace.

She came to right away. It took her a minute to remember what had happened, and she confirmed that the pain she had felt coming from her daddy had been too much for her. It wasn't just her dad's pain; it was the injured wolf's pain, as well as my pain for hurting Jasper, just like Ethan said.

This was when we looked around and noticed that the pack was standing behind the rest of the family. Someone, had the good sense to make them back away from us, and then place the family between them and us for protection, on both sides.

Carlisle had the injured wolf moved to an area where he could work on him, as he had to break and reset bones. Apparently, they had the ability to heal extremely fast, and his bones were healing wrong.

I will admit that I didn't fucking care if he was in pain. He had tried to kill my baby just because she was half vampire, and curious. She hadn't even touched the bitch, she was just standing close to her, and put her hand out; I'm guessing to introduce herself and shake her hand.

Laya brought me out of my thoughts by telling me how sorry she was for causing trouble. Both her daddy and I told her she had nothing to be sorry for as she did nothing wrong. I did ask her if she had understood how unstable the wolves were.

I asked her what had happened, what was she thinking when she got close and held out her hand to the female. She confirmed what I thought had been going on. Laya had seen that she was the only female out of the whole pack. She could feel the pain of rejection, loneliness, sadness, as well as loathing coming from her, and she just wanted to be a friend to her.

It had never occurred to her that her actions could be seen as a threat. She was able to stand and went slightly closer to the pack. That caused a round of growls to come from family members. She stopped, looked at the family and said, "Can you guys just, please can the growls? I just want to tell them how sorry I am, and let them know I meant no harm. I promise not to get close."

The growls stopped and she got a little closer, but stayed on this side of the line of family members. She looked straight at the female and told her that she was sorry about the way she had handled it but was not sorry for trying to be a friend.

She then asked if there was anyway that maybe they could at least try to be friends. The girl didn't get a chance to answer before Laya went on to explain to her that while she was half vampire, she was also half human. I knew that Laya was really wanting this, so I was about to ask Jasper to make the girl want to be friends with Laya, when one of the other pack members spoke up.

"It will be up to Sam if she can be friends with you. He's the alpha, and what he says goes," he said.

The female spoke up for the first time, "I don't fucking think so! Sam cannot and will not tell me who I can be friends with or who I can't be friends with. He may be the alpha, and he may tell us what to do concerning pack business, but he has no say in my fucking personal life."

She then turned back to Laya and said, "I would love to be your friend. Can I come closer and meet you without all of the overprotective assholes trying to stop us?"

They both started towards each other, the family moving to let her by. As soon as they were close enough Laya stuck out her hand and told her, her name. The female told her that her name was Leah.

I wasn't sure if I liked this or not. Peter it seems could now read my mind because he came over and told me that it was great that they could be friends. It was gonna be helpful to both of them. How? He couldn't say.

I asked him if he knew if the family would be safe from any more attacks from the pack, and he said that his "knower" was telling him that once the kinks had been worked out that everything would be fine.

Kinks. Kinks? What kinks? I looked up and was about to ask the fucking asshole whom I loved dearly but often wanted to rip his ass apart, what kinks he was referring to, but before I could ask I noticed he was looking at one of the wolves with concern.

Peter's eyes quickly looked at Jasper, and I followed his gaze. Jasper was staring at the same wolf with an almost feral look on his face. I could tell that he wanted to rip the wolf apart. I was confused, as this one had not done anything; he was the one that spoke up, telling Leah that she had to ask Sam if she could be friends with our daughter.

I finally looked at the boy whom they were staring at, and then I knew what their problem was. He was staring at me, and it wasn't the look that a boy or man should be giving a female they just met. The lust was obvious on his face; he wanted me.

It was Edward that saved the day this time. He came over, clapping Jasper on the back and told him that the boy was just looking. He had never seen such a beautiful female. He went on to tell him that none of the pack had actually ever seen a female vampire, and he was just like most human males, lusting after a beautiful female who is unavailable.

I would just have to make sure that I stayed away from this one. We didn't need any more trouble than there already had been. We needed to get along, at least until after this was all over. There was no fucking way I was going to get close to any of them anyway, they all had the worst scents I had ever smelled. Even the food I fixed the kids never smelled this bad.

I couldn't figure out how in the hell Laya and CJ could get as close as they did. Maybe the fact that they were only half vampire made the smell easier to handle. I was going to have to ask the kids about this. I looked over at Laya, and she was talking to her new friend. I watched as she took the girl by the hand and led her over to where Krissy and Lexi were standing.

Maybe this would be good for Laya. The only friend she had outside of the family was Krissy and now that she was mated, Laya had to steal what time she could with Krissy. I think that they had only been able to spend a total of maybe two hours with each other since she had found Felix.

I knew what it was like, never having a friend. While I grew up running from a vampire, the human part of me wanted so badly to have a friend. With me though there was still a problem. I couldn't talk to a human friend, because I would have to hide shit.

I think that is why Ethan and I were always so close, besides being family. He would listen to me when I needed to talk, or just vent. He never judged me, and he never made me feel like I was stupid or less than because of my thoughts or feelings.

There were some things though that with him being a male, well, I just couldn't talk to him about. Like when I had my first period, or when I needed to go and buy my first bra. He was smart though and when he knew I was starting to become a woman; he found a book that explained everything, and gave it to me.

Still, I always felt the loneliness, without a friend. I continued to watch my daughter as she talked with her new friend, and her old ones. She was happy and excited. I was beginning to think that maybe this could work after all.

I realized that I hadn't seen CJ for a few minutes and look around for him. I finally found him standing a short distance away from Laya, talking to a couple of the wolves. I knew he was talking to two of the younger ones, Seth, and Brody I believe were their names.

It was the first time I had ever seen our son speaking with other males outside of the family. It was then that I started to notice that some of the other family members were also talking to different members of the pack.

Carlisle was still with the one I had injured. I still didn't feel sorry for him. I was sorry that I had almost cost the family allies that were badly needed in order for us to win this battle. But I sure wasn't fucking sorry that I stopped his furry ass from hurting my baby.

The one that I now knew to be the alpha, Sam, was also with Carlisle. I knew that now Carlisle and Sam both were trying to bring some sort of order back into the chaos I had helped create.

Marcus was there as well. He had already apologized for what had almost happened. He did tell us that it was his idea to bring in the wolf pack. He felt it was going to be a huge advantage over Aro, and Caius both. I could understand that much as I knew that Caius has an extremely unhealthy fear of werewolves, even for a vampire.

Yeah, these guys were not really werewolves. They were shape shifters. But, when it came right down to it, it wouldn't matter to him. The fear alone would be enough to give us time to defeat him.

While considering all of this and watching the kids, Jasper had been standing quietly beside me. I felt him stiffen and then growl lowly. I looked over to see Sam heading in our direction, along with Carlisle. Jasper, being who he is pushed me behind his body.

Carlisle told him to calm down that Sam just wanted to speak to both of us. Jasper didn't really relax but did allow me to come and stand beside him. As soon as Sam was about five feet away he started talking, "I just want to apologize for Paul's behavior. He had no right to attack the girl. I did give him the order to back down, but it was too late. It was never my intention for him to attack. I'm grateful that no one else besides him were injured. I could tell that the girl seemed only to want to be a friend to Leah. I have also given Paul the alpha order not to attack any of the family members, for any reason. It will kill him to disobey. Please, can we start over?" he said, and then held his hand out towards Jasper.

Jasper finally took the hand and shook. He wasn't looking like he was happy. I knew that he would have to let Sam know exactly how he felt, "Sam, is it? I must let you know that while I don't blame you, I must ask you to keep the asshole away from our kids. He is too hot headed to be trusted. You might trust the "alpha order", I don't. Try to look at it from a parent's point of view. What if it had been your daughter, which one of us tried to attack. Besides, you're wrong about him being the only who got hurt, my arm was ripped off, while trying to stop my mate from killing the wolf."

"I understand. I will do my best to keep him away. I do want to say thank you for at least trying to keep him from being injured, or worse, killed. It might be harder than normal though, since your daughter and son have both made friends with some of the pack members already. Maybe, it will help to keep them safe. The pack will die to keep family and friends safe," he said with confidence.

"I know you to be an honorable man, and I will trust that you will do as you said you will. Still, I will keep an eye on the kids. Even though for now, they will not be with us. I trust that you know the plan concerning this new vampire Jack? My mate and I are the only two for now who have been "killed". I believe that the kids are supposed to be next; if the family can get this vampire to work with us. Until then, we are the only ones to have "died". Jasper explained to him.

"This is my mate, and wife, Bella Whitlock. Baby, this is Sam, the alpha of the pack."

I just nodded. I wasn't sure how to act or even how to feel. I had after all, just tried to kill a pack member. If I had been him, I probably would have just killed everyone. He seemed to have better control than I did.

"Mrs. Whitlock, please accept my apology for the attack against your daughter. I really did try to stop him, but it all happened so fast. I'm just glad that it wasn't the girl that was hurt." he spoke softly.

"Please, my friends call me Bella. While I can see you are truly sorry, just do not ask me to be friends with the asshole that did attack," she said.

Carlisle and Peter came up and told us that we really needed to get back to the compound before someone saw us and reported that we were both alive and kicking. The pack also needed to get out of sight. If word got back to the brothers that they were here, the fight was over before even starting.

Carlisle asked if we would be alright going alone with the wolves. They were all back in their human forms. While I wasn't so sure, Jasper told him that we would be fine. Paul would have to be carried as he was still healing. As long as it wasn't me having to put up with his ass.

He was still in a pissy mood, and kept calling us leeches, bloodsuckers, and a bunch of other names. Sam finally ordered him to stay quiet. I could tell that this asshole, and I would never get along.

After saying goodbye to the family, and a few dozen hugs for the kids we headed back. It was going to be harder for the wolf pack to get to the secret compound because they were going in their human form. Carlisle suggested that maybe they should phase to their wolf forms in order to have better control when climbing the mountain.

There was some good news so to speak. Several of the followers of Vergil, those who were loyal to Marcus, and Carlisle as well would be joining us at the compound. They would actually be training with the wolves.

Both vampires, and wolves needed to know who was friend, as well as know how to fight along side, of each other and not against. One of the vampires joining us, we hadn't met yet, as he had always been busy when we had meetings.

He was one of the ones responsible for creating gifted, and very controlled vampires. Makenna and Kaz were already there waiting for us to join them. There were also going to be some of the others, Matisa, who had been a close friend of Vergil. We weren't sure about how that was going to work. Then of course Jeric, the super strong one, Malick, the copier. Zira, the mover, as well as Libris, the tracker, and Victor, the one running the places here.

At first, it would be just Kaz and Makenna. The others would be there in a day or so. With only a couple of family members at a time joining us, it might be a while before the full-blown training would take place.

Of course, while we were training, the family would be dealing with Jack. I hated that the kids would be so close to this monster. While he is a vampire, he has killed humans for no apparent reason. It was viscous, and merciless. Why he did it no one knew? The thing that really confused me, was how in the hell could he have a wife and daughter?

It took longer to get back than it normally would have. Even in wolf form, it was hard for them to climb the first mountain. We would have to; seriously consider using a helicopter to get them back and forth from one compound to the other. Of course, they were still having to carry the one asshole. Sam said that it would be a couple of days before Paul would be back to full strength.

We were met at the front of the building in which Jasper and I were staying by Makenna, and a extremely good looking male. It was of course Kaz, the one we felt like we already knew because of Felix.

Yeah, this had to be one of the most handsome vampires I had ever seen. He was tall, 6'4", broad shoulders, very muscular arms. He was as big or bigger than Felix. His hair was black, and shoulder length it appeared. It was hard to tell at this point as he had it in a ponytail.

The shirt he was wearing showed that he had muscles in his chest and abdomen as well as his legs. The thing is that for some reason I felt drawn to this vampire. He seemed to be very "laid back", and relaxed. He smiled when he saw us, and greeted Jasper and I excitedly.

He was finally getting to meet the Major. It had been a desire of his to meet the one who was known throughout the vampire world as having never lost a fight, besides Felix. He did something that only a vampire that didn't know Jasper would do; he hugged me and kissed me on the cheek in greeting.

Of course, my mate just had to go all caveman, and start his fucking growling. It was Kaz who spoke up and actually told Jasper to lighten up; he was only showing me that he respected me. I couldn't believe that this vampire was actually not afraid to stand up to Jasper. Then again, no other vampire would have greeted me in this way either. I have to admit, there is just something about this man that was compelling me to want to hang around him. He was special, this much I knew for sure.

I was worried at first when he told Jasper to lighten up that Jasper might lose it, and try to attack him. That didn't happen. He seemed to instantly bond with Kaz, and that in itself was a shock. Jasper was always, cautious around vampires that he didn't know, especially if I was there.

They started talking, and Jasper filled him in on everything that had taken place. It was almost as if they had known each other for years instead of just minutes. Kaz asked about how the family was doing, and asked about the kids. He told us that he was really excited to get to meet them.

He explained that while he knew some of the hybrids, he was really excited about getting to meet the Major's kids. He felt that if they were anything like their parents, they would both be fierce fighters, as well as be high spirited. Oh, he has no fucking idea!

We actually did take a minute to greet Makenna and since we already knew her, she volunteered to show the wolves were they would actually be staying while here. They obviously wouldn't be staying in the same building as we were.

The wolf pack would be in the next building across from ours. Far enough away to not be able to smell each other, yet close enough to have each others back if necessary. Even though it wouldn't be Paul's back that I would have, it would be more like his fucking head if he didn't start showing some respect.

With the wolves gone, we were all able to relax more. We continued to talk to Kaz, wanting to know more about him. There was just something about him that drew both Jasper and I to him. It was strange and yet so comfortable being around him; I somehow knew that he would be a friend for the rest of our existence.

One of the things discussed was the obvious difference, our diets. He was a human drinker but was one of those that like Peter and Char only wanted to kill the scum of the earth. He had never once partaken of the "dinners" that the brothers had, when bringing humans in to feed off of.

He was a guard member, but Aro, and Caius never knew about his gift. He kept it from them, and made sure that neither brother ever became curious enough to try to "read" him. To the brothers, he was more like just a background guard, taking care of the turning and training of newborns. They actually thought that it was Kaz's training that made Felix so good at control.

We ended up talking for two days! While we were talking and getting to know all about Kaz and Makenna, Jack had showed up. We knew he was expected to arrive yesterday, but were so caught up in getting to know Kaz especially that we actually lost track of time. We actually had no idea just how much had passed until we got a call from Peter.

He told us that shit had happened and the family, mostly Carlisle and Felix needed to speak with us, as well as the wolf pack. Something had changed, and we needed to regroup. For the most part, the plans were still to be carried out, just in a slightly different way.

He did tell us that Felix had been able to speak with Jack. The wife and daughter had been taken care of as far as putting them so that Aro could follow through on his threat if Jack didn't do his part.

This time it would just be Felix, and Carlisle to make the trip here. The kids would stay behind with the rest of the family. Felix only a short time before he would have to get back to Jack but the news, he had was way too important to wait.

The only thing that Peter would tell us is that Felix was pissed. That there was some kind of hitch so to speak in the plans to get Jack to help us. Whatever it was, had Felix wanting to rip some heads off.

The last thing Peter said was that the danger was increasing, and there wasn't a fucking thing they could do about it. It didn't look like Jack would help us, his wife had been injured just to show Jack that Aro was in control of what happened to them. This wasn't good; at all.

A/N Let me know what you thought. Is there something that you would like to see happen, if so let me know in a review and I'll tell Jasper. We will try to make it happen for you. Can you guess what the surprise is going to be? If you guess it right, I'll tell you if you are or not. Thanks to everyone who added this story to their favorites and alerts, love you guys.
