We fell asleep easily after that and when I woke, I walked out of our room to Paul running up to me with his hands in the air for a double high five.

"I didn't think you had it in ya, B, but damn." Paul said with excitement as I high-fived him back.

"Oh I did." I winked at him, leaving him speechless. I burst out laughing and heard both Sam and Jared laughing as they walked inside from patrol as well.

The rest of the day and the next night passed by with all of the wolves on high alert, with three on patrol at all times.

Apparently, Alice had told them that Edward would arrive within the next day, and to be prepared. The Cullens would attempt to stop him before hand, but Alice continued to see visions of him headed toward the treaty line with a crazed look, no matter what course of action they took.

I sat in the kitchen, eating my lunch with Jake, Embry, and Quil, when we heard the howl we'd all been waiting for. Edward was here.

Sam had chosen one wolf from each set of them to stay guard in case he'd come. Since Jake, Embry, and Quil were here, Sam had assigned Jake to stay with me. The other two ran out the door quickly as Jake stayed.

"Stay right here, Bells. I'm going to see what's going on and I'll be right back." Jake told me, running out the door to phase. He was only gone a minute before running back inside.

"What's going on, Jake?" I asked quickly as the babies kicked uncomfortably at my ribs.

"Well, he's definitely here. The Cullens are trying to hold him off at the treaty line. The big one and bite marks have him in a choke hold. He looks completely deranged, Bells. Off the rails." Jake told me, shaking his head. "And he's freaking out because he could smell you on all of them, and really smell you on Sam and Jared. Apparently the guys are all singing ABBA songs to keep him out of their minds. They'll only use the other plan as a last resort."

I cringed and waited anxiously, praying that he'd give up and just leave us all alone.

Another 15 minutes later and Jake ran back out to phase again before coming back in. I hated not being able to know what was going on.

He didn't want to tell me what was going on this time, and it made me worried that something big had happened.

"Tell me, Jake." I commanded.

"He's demanding to see you, Bells. He told them if he can see you once and have you tell him that you're safe and happy, that he'll leave for good." Jake told me, and I went to go find my shoes. "I don't think he'll leave, Bella. I think it's a ploy. Sam and Jared definitely don't want you to go, Bella. They'll freak if you do."

"If it'll make him leave us alone, then I'm going, Jake. I'll drive myself if I have to." I told him as I put my jacket on, grabbed my keys, and walked right out the door to my truck.

"Bella, please! It's my job to keep you safe here!" Jake begged running out behind me.

"I will alpha order you, Jake. I'm going." I nearly growled out.

Jake ran in front of me and grabbed my keys, opening the passenger door for me.

"Sam and Jared are going to kill me." Jake said as he started my truck and put it into gear. "The only reason I'm doing this is because I know you'll find a way to go if I don't take you and I'd rather you be safe doing it."

As we drove, I felt the babies kicking me angrily as if they were sensing it. We drove to the treaty line and I saw them all out in the woods.

Jasper and Emmett were holding Edward back by the arms. His clothes were the same as he'd been wearing when he'd left me in the woods. They were clearly torn and tattered and he had dark, sickly looking rings around his crazed black eyes as he snarled at my wolves.

Jacob phased immediately and walked right next to me as everyone's attention snapped in my direction.

I knew Sam and Jared would be angry with me, but I needed to make my family safe by making Edward and the other Cullens leave. I wouldn't let any more children phase, including my own.

As I walked down to them, Sam, Jared, and Paul gathered around me protectively. I didn't miss the small growl from Sam in my direction.

I made my way close enough so that he could see me, but far enough away that my wolves could react if he tried anything.

"Bella?" I heard Edward ask as if he were confused. All of the wolves growled at him menacingly.

"I want you to leave, Edward." I told him, not acknowledging his question of my name. "Now."

"What have they done to you?" He asked, sounding torn.

"What have they done to me? What did you do to me?! You left me lost in the woods to die of hypothermia, Edward! They saved me. They became my family. I found my imprint and my mate." I told him with anger.

"These disgusting creatures, they've all defiled you! Even your very scent is different!" He yelled, fighting against Jasper and Emmett's hold. "It's all over them! The smell of debauchery!"

"Of course my scent is different! If you haven't realized yet, I'm pregnant, Edward. With a wolf's children. I'm also engaged! I'm happy here, I have a life, one that I love. I was never kidnapped, I came here willingly. I live here willingly." I explained as I unzipped my jacket for him to see my rounded stomach. "And I will continue to live here willingly. What I do with them behind closed doors is absolutely none of your business, nor is it anyone's but my own. These are my wolves and this is my home."

"What did you just do? I can't hear them anymore. I don't understand, I can't hear the three wolves around you." Edward said, holding his head as if it hurt. I wondered why he couldn't hear them. I knew he couldn't hear me, so I wondered if I had somehow subconsciously blocked him from reading their thoughts as well.

Rosalie flashed in front of Edward with a very angry expression. "Edward, she is happy here, she is alive just like you wanted before! She has been given the gift of children, and I will personally rip you apart if you even think about touching her."

He shook his head with a deranged kind of laugh and turned back to me with a snarl.

"You've tainted yourself, given your innocence to these disgusting filthy animals. I left because I love you. You're my mate! I left you so that you could have a normal life, not philander with a whole pack of werewolves like some whore! Do you even know who your children's father is?! Perhaps they have more than one." He asked with a renewed craze to his features. All of the wolves growled threateningly.

"You never loved me, Edward, you were infatuated with me, and I grew up. I'm most definitely not your mate. One of these wolves imprinted on me right after you left, and yes, he's the father of my children. I want to make it absolutely clear to you, Edward. I've given them full permission to do what they need to if you attempt to get near me, my children, or my father. The same if you try take us, or cross the treaty line in any way. I want you and all of your family completely gone by tonight, and to never come back. I'm not your property. I never belonged to you, and if you don't want to get torn apart and set on fire, I suggest you do what I ask. I have an entire pack of wolves that are very incredibly protective of me and my children. I've let you go, Edward. Now it's time for you to do the same." I told him commandingly. Edward was snarling viciously now, muttering words too low for my hearing range.

"We will take him to our home in England, Bella. He will be far away from your family." Carlisle told me as Emmett and Jasper hauled Edward away with difficulty.

"No! She's my mate!" He yelled as they took off at vamp speed. "I will come for you, Isabella!"

Alice and Rosalie walked over closer to the border to speak to me, though Alice seemed lost in one of her visions for a moment.

"His future is changing too rapidly to tell you for certain that he'll stay gone, Bella. It's difficult to predict when the wolves cloud my sight. We'll do everything in our power to ensure that he stays away. I wish we could've still been friends, but I understand the risk to your children. Please take care of yourself and those babies." Alice told me before she ran off as well.

"I hope you live a happy and fulfilling life, Bella. Your mates and children should be cherished above all others." Rosalie told me with a smile before flashing away. I wondered how she knew I had more than one mate?

"We will be gone from Forks within the hour. If anything changes with Alice's visions, we will call you with warning. Please take care and remember how truly sorry we are." Carlisle said before he and Esme both ran in the opposite direction from us.

Sam and Jared phased back almost immediately as soon as they were all gone.

Jared's eyes focused on mine for a split second before I felt something change, almost like it had clicked into place.

I didn't allow myself to give it any thought though because I was so angry. He glanced over to Sam whose eyes widened then they both looked back at me.

"Bella—" Jared spoke, but I cut him off.

"Let me calm down first before you both yell at me for how reckless I was." I told them, putting my hand up to silence them before they even had a chance to speak. I began walking to my truck and they both slipped their shorts on, following me quickly.
