Liam and I stood beside Carlisle as Jasper and Emmett fought in the clearing. We were waiting on the wolves to get here so we could train. Jasper threw Emmett across the clearing. When he stood up, he growled. "Again!"

I looked over as Edward arrived in the jeep with Bella. Not long after, the wolves showed up. We turned to face them as they descended.

"They don't trust us enough to be in their human forms."Edward told Carlisle. "They came. That's what matters."He told him.

"Leah!"Liam yelled flitting over to a wolf's side. I gasped and ran forward. "No Liam!"Jasper wrapped his arms around my body as I struggled. "Liam!"I panicked.

The wolves growled at us and stood in front of Liam with that wolf. I froze. Jasper let me go slowly as Carlisle came to my side. "Liam Anthony Cullen! Get your ass back over here now!"I yelled out angrily and a bit panicky.

"Mom! It's okay!"He yelled back. I growled loudly. "NOW!"I yelled. The ground shook a bit as I yelled. Liam stared at me before slowly moving back to us. I yanked him to me and the wolf he went to growled taking steps forward. I pushed Liam behind me and got into a protective stance in front of him.

"Enough!"Jasper yelled stepping in front of us. "Will you translate?" Carlisle asked Edward. I stood up and pulled Liam close to me. I tightened my grip on his body as Carlisle walked over. He squeezed my waist gently and pressed a kiss to my head.

"Welcome. Excuse my wife. She's very protective of our son."He said walking to the front of us. Edward was right behind him. Alice moved over to stand beside Bella. "They want to know how he's your son."Edward said.

"My wife, Ariana, had Liam while she was still human. It was during the time that my family was away."He explained to the wolves. "How old is he?"Edward asked. "He's only about 9 months old. He grows faster than a human in both body and mind."

"They want to know what he eats."Edward said. I pulled Liam closer. "He mostly eats human food. But he goes hunting with us at least twice a month."Carlisle told them.

The black wolf in the front of the others nodded. Carlisle took that as to move on to the training. "Jasper has experience with newborns. He'll teach us how to defeat them."Carlisle said gesturing to Jasper who was behind him.

"They want to know how the newborns differ from us."

"They're a great deal stronger than us because their own human blood lingers in their tissues. Our kind is never more physically powerful than in our first several months of this life."He turned and nodded at Jasper who nodded back.

Carlisle came back to my side pulling me close. I never loosened my grip on Liam. "Carlisle's right. That's why they are created."Jasper began stepping forward. He put his hands behind his back and looked between the two groups.

"A newborn army doesn't need thousands like a human army, but no human army could stand against them. Now, the two most important things to remember are, first, never let them get their arms around you. They'll crush you instantly. And second, never go for the obvious kill. They'll be expecting that, and you will lose."He told us.

He turned to us. "Emmett."He said walking past us. We turned around to watch them fight. They stood on opposite sides. "Don't hold back." Jasper told him. "Not in my nature."Emmett smirked.

Emmett took off straight towards Jasper. He held his arms out waiting for Emmett's attack. Jasper dug his feet into the ground as Emmett pushed him back. He flipped Jasper in the air. He landed and took off. Emmett chased after him. Emmett went to punch him but Jasper ducked and knocked Emmett onto his back.

"Never lose focus."He said looking down at Emmett. "Edward and Carlisle."He called out moving away from the area. I kissed Carlisle's cheek. "Good luck."I whispered to him. He smiled and walked to where Jasper stood before. Edward went to the other side. He nodded at Edward.

They took off running at each other. Carlisle slid underneath Edward as he jumped up. They ran at each other again. Edward got his arms around Carlisle but he managed to knock Edward away. Every time Carlisle tried to grab Edward, he deflected. Edward grabbed Carlisle and pinned him down to the ground.

He stood up as Jasper walked over. "One more thing."He began. Carlisle stood up and knocked Edward to the ground. "Never turn your back on your enemy."Jasper told him like it was obvious. I giggled as Carlisle walked back over to us. He wrapped an arm around my waist and kept a hand on Liam's shoulder.

Jasper and Rosalie went up next. Rosalie swung at him before he tried to hit her. She flipped back landing on her feet and hands. After Jasper pinned Rosalie down, Alice was up.

She slowly walked over to Jasper. He tried grabbing her but she moved. He swung again but she moved to the left. He went at her but she cart wheeled away from him. They walked towards each other. Jasper swung at her but she dodged him. He grabbed her pinning her arms to her sides. He reached up to take her chin and kiss her. She ran from his grasp. He looked around for her. She jumped down from the tree landing on his back. She moved slightly to the front before pecking his lips.

I smiled at the pair. They were so cute together. "Ariana and Carlisle next."Jasper said moving to us.

I leaned down and kissed Liam's head. I walked over to one end of the area while Carlisle went to the other. I smirked at him. I could see from the corner of my eye that everyone, and I mean everyone, was watching us intently.

I crooked my finger motioning to come to me. He smirked and walked calmly over. I met him halfway. I leaned forward like I was going to kiss him. His eyes closed so I round house kicked him. He fell down to the ground and looked up at me in shock. I smirked at him. He stood up quickly and made a grab at me. I swung around and kicked out his legs. He fell down to the ground on his stomach. I placed my foot on his back grinning triumphantly.

Carlisle chuckled as I moved my foot away from him. He stood up and swung me into his arms. I squealed giggling happily wrapping my arms around his neck. "Carlisle!"He laughed and set me down onto the ground. He pinched my chin between his forefinger and thumb. He leaned down placing his lips onto mine softly.

We pulled away smiling at each other. "That's it for today."Jasper called out. The wolves started leaving. The wolf that Liam went to was lingering. I pulled him close growling at the wolf. They growled back at me before running away.

My posture stayed stiff until I couldn't hear them anymore. Edward walked over with Bella. "Ariana…I think we need to talk when we get home."He began. Carlisle and I shared a look before turning to Edward. "Go see Jasper and Emmett, Liam."I told him motioning for him to go on. He ran away to where Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, and Emmett were.

I crossed my arms over my chest. "What is it Edward?" I asked. He sighed putting his hands in his pockets. "Leah imprinted on Liam."He told us. I looked confused. "What?" I asked. "Jake told me about that. It's like love at first sight or something. It's their soul mate."Bella explained.

"Are you telling me that my son, my baby boy, is the soul mate to one of those mangy mutts?"I asked him getting a bit angry. Edward sighed. "You can't keep them apart Ariana."He said.

I felt a wave of calm and glared at Jasper. He smirked at me before turning back to Alice. "Why can't I keep him away from her?"I asked him. "Because they'll die."He said solemnly. I frowned and let my arms hang at my sides. I looked up at Carlisle. He pulled me close to him. "We'll discuss this later."He said.
