Rosalie and Bella left Rosalie's room hand and hand after having showered and gotten ready for the day. Rosalie was wearing the shirt Bella had worn the day before. She felt a little silly for doing it but the urge to have her mate's scent with her all day easily over powered the feeling. She proudly led Bella to Carlisle's study expecting him to be in there reading.

"Carlisle may we come in?" Rosalie asked peaking her head in the door.

"Yes of course. What can I do for?" He asked looking up from his book.

"Well I wanted to ask you about my eyes." Rosalie explained.

"What about them. Do the contacts bother them?" Carlisle asked.

"They aren't contacts Carlisle. My eyes have changed color."

"What happened? Let me see." Carlisle rose from his chair and raced over to Rosalie. He grabbed her face in his hands but quickly took a step back at the threatening growl Bella sent his way.

"Keep you're hands to yourself." Bella said her eyes glowing neon like they did when she was in her tiger form.

"Yes, yes of course. My apologies." Carlisle held up his hands keeping them where Bella could see them." Has something happened between the two of you?"

"Both bonds have been accepted." Rosalie told him.

"Ah so you have been physically intimate." Once again he took a step back when Bella began to advance on him." Right none of my business. Back to the eye color. I've never known of a vampire's eyes to be anything other than red, gold or black. The fact that they so closely match the color of Bella's eyes mixed with one another leads me to believe it is an effect of the imprint bond. May I do an exam to see if I can find any other differences."

"That's probably a good idea." Rosalie said giving Bella's hand a squeeze of reassurance and following Carlisle over to the couch across from his desk.

"Ok, I'm just going to do a basic exam nothing to worry about. First yours eyes." Carlisle said directing everything towards Bella. He hoped that explaining everything would appease the shifter.

As he took out his pen light and gently touched Rosalie's chin he pulled his hand back suddenly.

"What? What did you do?" Bella demanded.

"I didn't do anything." Carlisle turned to Bella. "I didn't do anything it's her skin. It's warm. I didn't notice before because I only touched her for a second but her skin it's warm to the touch. How do you feel?"

"I thought I felt warmer because I was in physical contact with Bella but now that you mention it I still feel warm all over. That over all chill I used to feel in my bones is gone." Rosalie explained confused.

"May I take your temperature?" At Rosalie's nod Carlisle pulled out a thermometer and held it in her mouth.He pulled it out and looked at it in astonishment."85.7. It's not quite human but it's a lot warmer than a normal vampire."

"I have a warm body temperature now. Carlisle what does this mean? What else is different?" Rosalie demanded.

"I don't know exactly what it means. Bella do you have any insight?I'm not an expert on shifters." Carlisle asked.

"I don't know anything. From what I've learned this has never happened but I only have so much information with me." Bella said.

"Is there someone you could ask? I'm hesitant to get others of my kind involved. Our governing body would be very interested in this development and they aren't the kind of vampires whose radar you want to be on."

"I have more materials I could look through but they are at my estate." Bella said trying to think of what she had there.

"Is there way you could get access to them from here?" Rosalie asked.

"No the are kept well guarded behind security locks that only I have access to. My family went through great pains to keep our secret from the outside world. The things inside the safe room have never been seen by outsiders. My mother has never even been there." Bella explained.

"You may want to think of taking a trip there then. I don't want to worry you but it may be beneficial. I only know basics about shifters and I've never heard of a white tiger before."

"What do you think?" Bella asked Rosalie.

"I think this a conversation to have in private." Rosalie replied causing Bella to nod in agreement. "How about we go hunting?"

"Good idea. Thank you Carlisle." Bella told him making her way to the door Rosalie behind her.

As they made their way to the front door Esme called out"Bella dear I made you breakfast if you're hungry."

Rosalie gave Bella a shrug and redirected them to the kitchen. When they entered they were met with a similar spread as the day before except this time there were half a dozen different kind of omelettes instead of plain scrambled eggs.

"This looks amazing. Thank you Esme." Bella said with a smile as she loaded up a plate with food.

"Morning Bella, morning Rosalie what are you doing today? I have a few ideas but I wanted to see if you had plans first." Alice said as she sat down next to Bella. She looked at Rosalie and asked. "What's with the contacts?"

Rosalie dreaded this question. She hadn't had a chance to think to much about the changes and really wanted a moment alone with her mate. She had thought when the bond was accepted by both of them she would feel less possessive but found herself more irrated than usual about having to spend time with anyone other than Bella. She wasn't sure what she was going to do when she had to take Bella home and leave her for the night.

"They aren't contacts." Rosalie said knowing the others would hear her as well. She thought it better to get it over with now.

"What do you mean they aren't contacts?" Esme asked confused.

"I mean that my eyes changed color after Bella and I accepted our bonds." Rosalie said and just as she expected Jasper and Emmett rushed into the room.

"Woah are you serious? Wow they look just like Bella's. You guys totally match now. How did that happen?Can you change my eye color too Bella?" Emmett asked excitedly.

"She can not change your eye color Emmett. It happened through the bond." Rosalie said through gritted teeth. The thought of her mate being intimate with anyone but herself making her beyond angry.

"Sorry geez I didn't know. Calm down.Jasper a little help." Emmett said looking towards a confused Jasper.

"What's wrong Jazz?" Alice asked him.

"I can't help." At Alice's confused look he explained. "I can't feel her emotions. She is just like Bella now."

At hearing this Carlisle entered the kitchen. "Alice can you see her future at all."

Alice focused for a minute and then let out a growl of frustration."Nothing. She's a complete blind spot. It's like she was there one moment and now she's gone. If she wasn't sitting right in front me I would be afraid she was dead."

"Intriguing." Carlisle said trying to think through all the possibilities. "I wonder if Edward's gift works on her anymore."

"Now that's not fair. How come Rosalie gets to be immune to that dickwad?"

"Emmett language. No matter how you feel about him he is still your brother." Esme scolded Emmett.

"Yeah, yeah Edward's amazing we get it. Anyway I don't understand why Rosalie gets such a cool mate. Not only is Bella good at everything apparently she has a magic vagina that when you have sex with it you're granted super powers."

Rosalie launched off her stool grabbing Emmett by the throat throwing him through the wall quickly following behind him. Her intent clear. Emmett needed to die and she was going to make him suffer before he did.

Bella ran toward Rosalie to pull her off Emmett but as she grabbed Rosalie Emmett took the opening to punch Rosalie in the face. Bella's control slipped at the sight of seeing her imprint hurt and shifted into her tiger immediately pinning Emmett to the ground.

The rest of the Cullens stood back not exactly sure what to do. No one wanted Emmett dead but they weren't willing to commit suicide to save him.

"Rosalie sweetheart you need to stop her before she kills him." As Rosalie growled at Esme in reply Esme added." You know she wouldn't be able to live with herself if she killed him."

Rosalie calmed down as she thought about this. Yes she wanted to beat Emmett to a pulp but he didn't deserve to die.

"Yes he does." Bella said

That couldn't be right. Bella was in her tiger form she couldn't talk. And she hadn't said that aloud.

"Bella can you hear me." Rosalie asked Bella mentally.

"I can hear you just fine." Bella replied

"What the hell bella? I didn't say anything. I think you can hear my thoughts." Rosalie told her.

This caused Bella to stop her attack on Emmett. She got off him and trotted over to Rosalie looking into her eyes and continued the silent conversation.

"It feels almost like the link I had with my grandfather when we were both in tiger form."

"Can you change back? I want to see if we can do this with you in your human form." Rosalie asked.

"I need clothes."

Rosalie took off to her room and returned with some clothes for Bella. Bella went into the woods to change leaving the Cullens to themselves.

"What just happened? I feel like something just happened. Bella jumped off of Emmett without you saying anything and now you look totally confused." Alice commented.

"Bella could talk to me. I could hear her thoughts and she could hear mine." Rosalie explained reaching for Bella snuggling into her side when Bella put her arm around her.

"Like the pack mind link?" Carlisle asked. This day was getting more and more exciting for him. Even before he knew Bella was a shifter he was intrigued by her but with every new discovery he felt his need for knowledge about her grow.

"Yes, it's similar to how I used to communicate with my grandfather while in our other forms. I'm not hearing your thoughts now are you hearing mine?" At Rosalie shake of the head she just shrugged at Carlisle.

"Are freakin kidding me. Now this?! For fucks sake Rosalie what else did Bella give you? You better not be stronger than me or I'm going rage. Like flip the fuck out rage." Emmett exclaimed dramatically.

"Emmett language! And no one is going to rage. I mean it." Esme sternly told him.

"I don't know what else changed with me. The eye color,the temperature and now the mind link. I hate to say this but I think we need to do more testing." As Bella pulled her closer Rosalie said reassuringly"nothing invasive."

"Wait what do you mean temperature?" Alice asked grabbing Rosalie's hand. She let go when Bella growled at her. "Sorry. But this is kind of exciting. You're warm. Like actually could maybe pass for a slightly cold human warm."

"Oh my god." Emmett said in exasperation. He stopped his next comment when Esme gave him a look.

"How would you feel about running some physical tests side by side with Bella. That way we can not only see if you have changed physically but we can see how you compare to Bella." Carlisle offered.

"What do you think?" Rosalie asked Bella.

" I will support whatever you decide as this your body we are talking about." Bella told her.

"I love you." Rosalie told her giving her a kiss.

"Aww you guys are so freakin cute. I can't stand it." Alice exclaimed clapping her hands together.

Rosalie rolled her eyes and turned to Carlisle. " I'm willing to do some testing."

"Great give a few moments to set some things up." Carlisle replied speeding away.
