Cause I've done some things that I can't speak
And I've tried to wash you away but you just won't leave
So won't you take a breath and dive in deep
Cause I came here so you'd come for me


Isabella

"What in the ever fucking hell could you possibly mean by that?"

"Major, relax." I called from my lounge on the bed with Angela. "He's not worth it and we need him until further notice."

Angela and I were sleeping peacefully up until Peter came in and started huffing and puffing. The biggest and most shocking statement he made, after waking us up, was that two of us were ruining his time with his best friend.

Ang tightened her hold on my hand and I lifted my head from her shoulder. She leaned in and spoke against my ear as my mate dropped Peter.

"My chain just broke." She whispered.

"Broke how?" I asked against her skin.

"The pendant isn't a thing." She said dropping something in my hand.

I gasped softly as I felt the broken pendant. Her once whole star was now back to halves and the half that belonged to Peter looked tarnished.

"Major, we have bigger fish to fry than the one that's standing in front of you." I said quickly. "Clear house Edward. Whatever y'all had planned before is still in effect. Make it happen."

"Get out of my sight." The Major growled at Peter before turning to Ang and I.

"You're gonna calm the fuck down before we talk so go elsewhere until you're calm." I said arching a brow when he growled at me. "Now Major."

He left, cursing up a storm under his breath. Ang and I climbed off the bed and I huffed.

"I'm gonna shower and get ready for our night." Ang said.

"Put this back on until we figure out what the fuck happened." I said tossing her half of the chain back.

"I love you bestie." She said before leaving.

"Love you too." I answered.

I sighed lightly and let my hair down. Deciding against taking clothes into the bathroom with me and jumped into the shower. I washed my hair and shaved all the necessary bits and pieces while I let the conditioner sit in my hair. When I finished, I showered and rinsed my hair.

I wrapped myself in a towel and let my hair fall over my shoulder.

"Iz, can I take a shirt?" Ang asked as she walked into the room.

"Sure thing." I called from the closet.

"Isabella and Angela, you have five minutes to get down here starting now." The Major shouted.

I rolled my eyes and pulled one of his button down shirts on. I pulled on a thong and my glasses and met Ang on the steps.

She followed my lead and wore one of my mate's button downs. Her wet hair curled over her shoulders and she had her glasses on as well.

We laced our fingers together and slowly made our way downstairs.

"Thirty seconds." Major shouted again.

"The next time you open your mouth you better have a better fucking attitude." I huffed as we came to a stop in front of him.

"Remember who is in charge here, Isabella." He warned.

"Right now, I have all the information you want. I also dish out the pussy you're dying to have tonight so I'd correct your statement because as far as I'm concerned I'm in charge right now." I said ending his upcoming rant before he started.

Ang snickered under her breath and tugged on my hand, pulling me towards the media room.

"Major, if you want to know what's going on, I suggest you follow us." She said with a laugh in her voice.

"I'm so fucked." I laughed, hearing him head towards the kitchen.

"That was great." Angela laughed loudly. "He knows you're right, though, so it shouldn't be too bad."

The Major

I sat at the island in the kitchen and took a deep breath to calm myself after the girls walked away.

"He had one legitimate requirement and I shit all over that."

Isa's musical voice carried from the media room easily, meaning she had thinned out the air in the house.

"He knows he's full of shit, Isa. The Major wants to run each and every aspect of this situation and it kills him to give you more control than he has." Angela answered. "Story time is your domain and he knows that better than anyone; just the other day he made that a fucking law."

"All he wants is for me to listen when he says anything." Isa said second guessing herself like usual.

"God only knows why he asked you to do that." Ang said and I could hear the eye roll she gave her best friend. "The Major and Jasper both should know, better than anyone that slick ass mouth of yours is gonna get you in trouble quicker than it'll agree to anything. He shouldn't have asked that of you, especially since he knew this was gonna have story time written all over it."

I laughed silently at Angela's explanation. It was wrong of Jasper and I both to ask for Isa's unwavering agreeance to any order I gave, but when it mattered she did do ask told without complaint.

Ang also had a point with story time. After the third time of trying to explain everything we knew, incorrectly, I made it a general rule for Isa to explain it. I was sick of hearing her fix every mistake and complaining when something wasn't said correctly, so I gave her the job of explaining everything, no matter who figured it out.

I wasn't mad that Isa wasn't listening; I expected that from the beginning of this fuck fest. I was mad that Isa wasn't letting anyone know anything until she felt necessary, which was always at the last minute and left everyone six and a half steps behind her. this meant her story time took hours and we had more question than we started with.

"I'm well aware my mouth is more trouble than it's worth. I just know when to pick my battles better than I've been picking tonight." Isa sighed. "Let's just hope he's over it before he gets in here. I'm not trying to argue before explaining this shit fest."

"Accurate." Ang agreed. "I'm just as informed and I'm confused. Major."

I rolled my eyes when she bellowed my name unnecessarily. I ran a hand through my hair and walked into the media room, seeing the girls occupying the bean bags on the floor near the coffee table.

"Yes, girls?" I asked leaning in the doorway.

Isa rolled her eyes and opened her arms. "Come here and get comfy. Story time is gonna take a while."

"You might want to get Edward as well." Ang added around a mouthful of some food.

I stepped over her and sat on the floor in front of Isa, leaning back into her arms. She played with my hair and leaned down to speak against my skin.

"I'm not apologizing for what I said." She whispered smoothly.

"I'm not expecting you to." I answered, tilting my head to look in her eyes. "I just want you to pass along information when you get it so we're not all ten steps behind."

"I don't always get information in full bouts, Major. I told you when I figured out something wasn't right with Peter and Ang. I just figured out the rest of it."

I opened my mouth to speak and then remembered that she was right.

Flashback

I rolled my eyes from my lounge on the couch as I watched Edward keep the girls in check. It had been a couple days since we arrived and the call with the brothers was happening in a few. However, like anything else they should hold one head with, Peter and Isabella had differing views on who should do what while she and I spoke with the brothers.

There was still a ton of things that needed to be done before anything can actually be done to deal with Rosalie and Alice and Peter was against doing it all. Carlisle and Edward were the referee to plenty fights between the two of them and Angela was slowly losing her patience with her mate.

I arched a brow at Isa when she sent me an emotional cocktail that held a warning and shook her head.

She shook her head again and turned to Peter.

End flashback

"You win." I sighed causing the two of them to win.

"Thank you, now give me a kiss and call Edward." She said, puckering her lips.

I gave her a swift kiss and did as she said. I told him to pass his orders to keep Peter and Charlotte apart to Carlisle and to head back to the house.

When he arrived, he mirrored my position in front of Ang. We all turned to Isa and she sighed.

"This stays between us until I can figure out what the fuck is going on with Peter and Charlotte."

"Agreed."

"Peter is not Angela's mate and Edward is technically not mated to anyone, but he is 'mated' to all of us."
