I promise I haven't forgotten about Emily or Pauls family situation.

Remember Paul said he would handle Emily as soon as the war was over because he Didn't want to be distracted, especially since he thought Leah had helped Sam break the imprint by allowing him to mark her. and with Pauls family situation, remember his aunt planned with Paul father, who isn't really his father to somehow kidnapped Paul and they told him his mother was dead in order to lure Paul but remember it didn't work, Because Pauls cousin intervened and then disappeared. And remember Jacob was so angry at Billy that he ran away. While he was gone, he discovered A red eyed Edward headed for the pack and Jacob decides to warn the pack but as soon as his job was done, he would leave. Also remember he doesn't know about the newborns coming early.

Guess I just wanted to give a small recap of a few things! You guys are awesome!

…

As soon as Jacob phased, he was assaulted with images of newborns and red eyed vampires.

What's going on?! He asked in the pack mind.

Well its about time you pulled you your head out of your ass and got with the program! As you can see, we are fighting for our lives! Please join us! We could really use the help! quil said, his voice full of sarcasm

Quil, Jacob! enough ! there are more newborns headed to the reservation! Get your heads in the game! And Jacob when this is over! We will talk! Now move!- Paul ordered

But Paul! Wait I just saw Edward! And he had whole army behind him! He had red eyes! Jacob informed as he showed him the army.

I'll handle it Jacob! you just get your butt to the reservation and help us take of this!

With that said, Jacob felt Paul phase out.

…

Paul phased out and ripped a newborn off of Leah.

The pack was still fighting a throng of newborns and it didn't seem as if it would ever end, especially with more newborns trying to get to the reservation.

He was grateful that Sam, Collin , and Seth had appeared out of nowhere to help. They had created a line of defense between the clearing and the reservation. He also decided to switch quil and brady in regards to the imprints. Brady could handle guard duty, but Quill was more advanced than that.

Speaking of advance, he quickly turned to see where Demetri was throwing limbs into nearby fires.

" Demetri! Edward the ass hat is coming! He's bringing more vampires!"

"That's the volturi! He joined with them! Paul, we need to clear this up and head back to lord Marcus. He's the only one that can stop them!"

"Alright! Let's kick this into high drive!"

With that said, Paul phased back and ordered his pack to move quicker. You think will all the help they had , that things would be moving faster.

He was dead wrong.

…..

Rosalie hissed, as a newborn bit her back. With a grunt she threw him off and began to tear him into pieces.

All around her were fires and limbs.

It seemed that the remaining newborns had met their end.

It was finally over. All around her the vampires that had been assigned to their team made it out alive. However, she feared the ones that were assigned with the wolves. Especially Emmett. She knew she was a total jerk to him, but she couldn't help it. He was her husband and yet he had been fawning over Bella. it unnerved her and it made her angry.

"fad a bheidh mé i mo chónaí ní chruthóidh mé nuabheirthe go deo" Maggie said aloud "you can say that again! they are too dangerous!" Henri agreed "so Carlisle what do we-" "No! no! Edward !" Alice screamed, her eyes glazing over. Jasper was quick to grab her. "Alice? Alice? What did you see?!" "The volturi! Edward and Irina are with the volturi! His eyes are red! He's looking for Bella! But I can't see her! her future's completely black!" "We need to intercept them. Alice you stay with us, Jasper go warn Paul. See how far their battle is waging and if you need us, we will come. The rest of you….I won't make you face the volturi… I would understand your hesitation. If you wish to go…go now. " To his surprise, no one moved. "ok, we will split up. Half of us will go and intercept the volturi…the other group will warn the wolves and help with clean up. Go!" … Paul could feel relief run through the pack as they finally cut down the last newborn. To his wolf's dismay Demetri came up with a great idea to get rid of the majority of the newborns. He took some of his own venom and some venom from the decapitated newborns and lit it on fire. It created a massive explosion that wiped out a majority of the newborns. It annoyed him that the red eyed couldn't have thought about that earlier… Paul quickly surveyed the damage. Limbs and fires all around but none of his pack or his people where hurt. With ease, he ordered Ramon, Collin and brady to do a perimeter check and to stay on the reservation. By now, Demetri had called Marcus and had all the remaining vampires removed from the reservation. They were supposed to meet him in the clearing so that they could handle Edward. Thinking of Edward, he needed to call the doctor vamp. As he put on a fresh pair of short, he reached for his phone but froze when he heard a howl. That howl belong to Ramon. Without phasing he invaded the pack mind. Ramon? What's the issue? It's the group from forks there coming your way and so are the Vamps who helped on the rez but Paul…somethings wrong…on one of the vamps I smelt Bella, but I also smelt her blood… Paul held his breath and beat his wolf down. He couldn't overreact. There was too much to focus on. "alright here's what we need to do. We need to wait for the rest of the vamps to get here so we figure out what to do about the volturi. Ramon, I want you to go to my house and check on Bella. I'm sure she's ok. I would have felt her distress…" …. "ARRRGGHHH!" Bella didn't know how or why but somehow, she found herself back in her old bedroom. And all she could do was scream. Her children were coming, and she had no clue what to do. another contraction hit and Bella screamed again. The sudden sound of stomping feet had Bella gripping her sheets in fear. However, she felt relief when she saw the terrified face of her father and his gun. "oh, my god! Bella?! what are you doing here! how did you get? Where's Paul?" "I don't know dad, its just happened! The twins are coming! And I'm not ready! I didn't get a chance to take the Lamaze classes! I want Paul! Please daddy I can't - I can't do this!" To say that Charlie swan was shocked and terrified was an understatement. He was going through some paperwork in the kitchen when he heard the screams coming from upstairs. He had no clue what the hell was going on but he didn't expect to see his daughter drenched in fluids and screaming. Within seconds his police instincts kicked in. This was his second chance. "ok, baby girl. I know you don't feel ready, but your body knows what its doing… so just breath. I'm going to get some hot water and towels and then I'll call an ambulance-" "No! no ambulances! There a vampire war going on! We can't! Taking an ambulance could make us vulnerable- Arrggh. " "Vampire War what-" "DAD FOCUS!" "ok, ok, ok I'm gonna get the water and towels just breath through it Bella." "I'm trying dad...I'm …oh no…it's another one…" Charlie winced as his daughter screamed. He quickly grabbed her hand, letting her squeeze the life out of it and possibly crush some bones. This was going to be a long night, he just prayed Paul got here in time. … Jasper couldn't believe his eyes. Running beside him was Marcus volturi and next to him were two very beautiful but very pale women. Could that be the wives? He thought. Why would the wives have left the castle? Jasper stopped as he made it to the wolves. Marcus stopped alongside him. "Major Whitlock…. You have some interesting allies. But I digress we must get to the Alpha…" Jasper hissed "and what do you want with him? How do we know your not working with Aro to stall us." Marcus was going to reply but Emmett appeared looking very irritated. "we don't have time for this bull crap! The newborns are gone but Victoria is still out there and whatever else we have to face not to mention Bella is missing!" Jasper growled "What do you mean she's missing!" "she disappeared right before our eyes. After some freaky glowing stuff. Just come on the pack is waiting for us!" And indeed, they were. The pack was pacing anxiously as their Alpha stood on two legs. "What's going on ! I have two different reports! One about Edward with red eyes and one about Victoria not being spotted! So is someone going to tell me what's happening!" Jasper was the first to speak. "Both reports are true even though I'm just hearing of the latter. Edward is with Aro as we speak with an army behind him. Carlisle went to stall them. As regards to Victoria, we don't know where she is. Her Gift is elusiveness and its working very well. but there's also more. As you can see, we have a volturi here with us who I think should explain why he is here…" All eyes turned to see the massive king standing proudly before them. "yes, I understand my presence is Questionable, but my motives are pure. My sisters and I we are here to stop Aro but not only that we are here to keep Bella swan human." A woman with long black hair spoke next. Jasper could only guess that this was sculpia, Aro's mate. "Aro met me while I was still human. He then changed me. only because he thought I would suit him well, but now he's doing it for the wrong reasons. He has read Edward's Mind and knows that his intentions are not Pure. Besides, Marcus saw that Bella was not Edwards mate and Aro disregarded it. He only wants power and having a mind reader in his clutches would give him the exact power he wants. So if getting Bella will keep the mind reader happy, that's what he will do." Hisses and growls sounded but Paul silenced them all. His eyes yellow and staring very hard at Marcus. "There's something you're not telling me red eyes. Spill or I kill you right here and now." Marcus let a small smile show on his face. " ah…so inquisitive. Your mate and I have a connection. A very strange bond. Like kindred spirits recognizing one another. Its why I sent Demetri ahead of me. I have vowed to protect her at every cost and my sisters have vowed to go along with me." "so that's how you knew where she was...because of the bond…" Emmett questioned "precisely." Paul growled. "Fine you're here to help and you have some freaky bond with my wife. When this is over, you and I will be talking. But right now, we need to figure out what to do about Edward and Victoria." "I can track her. I just need a scent or a stray thought… Ill go search for her." "one of the denali's…" Jasper suggested. Demetri nodded and the two took off to find the Elusive red head. "Now that that's handled, we need to go join the others. Their no doubt in my mind Carlisle is running out of distractions." With that said, the group headed towards the coven leader however, Emmett hesitated. Jasper could feel the waves of guilt and worry pouring off and in truth he felt the same. If they told Paul that Bella was missing, then he would go ballistic and possibly destroy everyone in the process. But if they didn't tell him, Bella would remain missing and God knows what was happening to her. Jasper had to decide. They could either win the war with Pauls help and risk losing Bella OR lose the war without Pauls help and have Isabella safe. In that moment, Jasper had to make the worst decision of his life. He had to risk Isabella. Hoping she would be safe… He then shook his head at Emmett and then motioning to Paul but then Emmett let out a low hiss and suddenly turned the opposite direction. "where are you going! "he asked lowly "To find my sister ! unlike you! You bastard!" …. Bella was in agony. That was the best as she could describe it and to her irritation, her father had called her mother. Of course, her mother was making it worse. She had threw a fit as to why Bella wasn't in the hospital but then Charlie explained that they wouldn't make it in time. "just breath honey." Her mother said over the phone. "I am breathing mom! But it hurts! Arrggh!" "come on Bells just hang in their honey. Its only been two hours. You can push through Baby girl." Charlie encouraged as he wiped the sweat off of her forehead. "I want Paul…" she whimpered. "That's it…I'm calling him..." Charlie growled. "no, no, he'll be distracted…" " That's true but I'm sure he won't want to miss this…" Charlie jumped and Bella gasped. "Emmett! Where is he! Where's Paul…! I want Paul…" "'I'm sorry baby bell. He's in a super important meeting…but I'm here to help. Charlie I need you to check uh...um down there… to see how...uh…open Bella is." Charlie turned tomato red. "well, well uh..I .." "DAD! JUST DO IT!" Charlie swallowed hard, as he lifted the sheet, he had covered Bella with once she had managed to removed her pants. "HOLY! Uh what am I supposed to be looking for here Emmet?" "how open or uh…dilated is she? can you see anything?" "Well, yeah I'm seeing lots of stuff I didn't think I'd ever see! Wait! I think... .I think I see something round? Black? I have no idea what to look for?" Emmett sighed as he put his hands-on Bella's forehead. The coldness from his body, helping her relax just a little bit. "ok, Her vaginal canal needs to be opened bigger then normal in order for her to deliver. Tell me is it the size of a kiwi or an apple?" "uh, id say apple." " its almost time but not quite yet. Just breath bell." "hey! Ass hats brother! Where's your father! Isn't he a doctor?" Renee shouted through the phone. Emmett jumped not realizing she was on the line. " um, he's kind of busy. At the moment…" As Emmett watched Bella sweat and cry, his guilt built more. Paul was the one who needed to be here holding her hand… not him but he also couldn't leave Bella defenseless while Victoria was still out there. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, he quickly sent out multiple text's messages to the alpha . He just prayed he wouldn't kill him and hoped he'd make it on time. ….. Paul stood in front of the red eyed vampires. His phone kept buzzing, but he couldn't answer in front of these leeches. Who knows what would happen? The doctor vamp stood next to him and in front of them was Marcus. Staring down his brother. "Marcus…I didn't expect this betrayal and sculpia…my dear mate… How long have you two been planning this coup?" "there was no coup, Aro we came to make you come to your senses. Edward is just using you and your using him. He's not going to turn Isabella and you securing her, does not mean he's going to join the coven aro. Of course, you already knew that but you thought coming here would change his mind…" The leech named Aro, actually smiled. "Ah yes, you are right indeed. I did think coming here would persuade our young mind reader to change his tune…but alas, I was wrong…I guess we will just have to change that. " Suddenly Edward snarled and launched at aro. This of course, caused both sides to rush in defensive positions. "Wait! Be careful two of them are gifted!" jasper yelled Jane and alec sneered as they aimed there gifts at the various vampires. "Jane now!" Aro yelled as Edward lunged at him again. Jane smiled. Her gift would have them on their knees However, her smile fell. Her gift wasn't working, and she noticed the same with Alec. "its not working master!" she shouted "impossible!" Aro exclaimed. Edward snarled and caught Aro while he distracted. Today someone was going to die.

…

Jenna lahote watched the dark clouds roll in. She let out a bitter laugh. The dark clouds and her dark mood.

Her plan to have her nephew in her clutches was ruined. Some how one of her family members had tipped him off and he wound up not falling for their trap. And to make it worse, the bastard found out the truth about his mother being alive and to her shock, Tawny had disappeared and to top it all off, so had Malcom.

He left her a note this morning telling her he had exposed everything they did the lies and deceit. All of it right to chief black.

Jenna closed her eyes.

She knew exactly What this would mean once chief black found out.

Banishment…

The lahote name would be taken from the archives and they would lose their position.

She was hopeless.

This was it…the lahote name was cursed.

….

Bella jumped as the sound of thunder cracked.

But something told her deep down, it wasn't thunder . it was two vampires clashing togather.

"Bells it's getting bigger! I think its time to push…!" Her father urged.

Bella whimpered.

"But pauls not here! and Emmett aren't you more equipped for this!?"

"I agree with Bells!" Charlie said as he stared in horror between his daughter's legs

"no..i can't and you both know why….The blood..." he whispered

Charlie and Bella both nodded in understanding, but it didn't make the situation any less uncomfortable.

"alright baby girl, I think its time to push, I can see something that looks like a head…Emmett you might want to make that Call to Paul one last time." Charlie grunted

Bella began to pant and sweat and in one loud shout, she screamed

"I WANT PAUL! AMPARO!"

…

Paul snarled as he ripped the head off of one of the Italian vampires.

To everyone's surprise, the gifted vampires' tactics couldn't work on them and no one knew why.

But Paul didn't care, he just wanted them gone so he could go home to his wife. Unlike his brothers he stayed in human form. Ripping Heads with his bare hands. That's how angry he was. But Paul had a target...he wanted Edward.

However, the mind reader was being pinned by the Italian scum.

Suddenly, a white wolf appeared amidst the battle. It had the bluest eyes he had ever seen.

Your mate is about to give birth to your pups.

Pauls eyes turned a blazing yellow. This wolf smelled like his wife. His mate.

In an instant, his mind was shown various images. His wife covered in sweat and crying out for him.

The fire crept up his spine, and Paul phased. His mind opened and the Pack could see and feel everything.

Tell her I'm coming! Tell her to hold on just a little while longer! We are on our way!

The pack sent growls in agreement.

Their alpha female would not give birth without them there.

….

Edward hissed, as Aro pulled his arms.

Doesn't feel good does it! Aro thought.

"no, it doesn't! but neither does this!" Edward said aloud, as he flipped aro over and broke an arm off.

Aro let out a yell but managed to get from under Edward's grip. Aro then dived again but this time he bit into Edward's leg, ripping the foot off.

"Perhaps you want to reconsider! You can do better without that human by your side!" Aro hissed

This taunt only angered Edward even more and out in a red haze he lunged for Aro's head and pulled.

He would never let anyone insult his first love. She was his and no one else's!

With a satisfying crunch, Aro volturi was no more and Edward threw the head into the nearest fire.

He was so busy basking in his own pride that he didn't see the three wolves ambush him. it also didn't help that he couldn't hear their thoughts. He tried to fight but three wolves against one vampire wasn't a fair fight and Edward didn't have a chance.

And once the remaining volturi saw that their main leader was dead, they froze.

"Aro volturi is dead! You all have the choice! You can join us, keep your positions and help the remaining leaders create a new empire, or you can die now..." Marcus announced, as the last of Aro's loyal guard was destroyed.

None of the remaining volturi guard hesitated to bow before him. Marcus nodded in satisfaction and turned to see Carlisle pleading for his son's life.

"Please! Paul don't do this! We can handle him! but Ripping him apart won't fix anything."

Marcus, however stopped the doctor.

"Your son was a major cause of this war Carlisle! He is not blameless and deserves to die! Its time he pay for his crimes! "

Irina gulped as she heard this. She had somehow managed to keep herself hidden during the battle and wanted to keep it that way. She quickly turned to make her escape but hissed when Athendora and sculpia blocked her way.

"Where do you think you're going witch!?" Athendora questioned

"making false testimony is punishable by death…." Sculpia told her

Irina hissed and lunged at the queens, but they were a force to be reckoned with.

In a quick movement, sculpia had Irina by her hair and Athendora snapped her neck.

Throwing the women's head into the fire.

…

Paul phased to human as he ignored the doctor vamps' pleas.

Bending down, he made sure Edward could hear him clearly.

"You think I'm going to let you live blood sucker? You think I'm going to let you hang around and try to win my wife's affections? Well, you thought wrong. No matter how much daddy over there begs and pleads. This is the end of the road for you. And do you know what I'm going to do once I throw your head into that fire? I'm going to go home and watch my wife give birth to my kids! Something you will never be able to do !"

With that said, Paul gave the order and in one swift move he, Embry, and Sam tore the mind reading vampire to pieces.

Edward Cullen would no longer be an issue.

To anyone.

…

With urgency, the pack left the burning battlefield , not caring what happened next, as long as the bloodsuckers stayed away for good.

Paul would handle all the logistics later; all he could focus on was getting to his wife.

His wife who was in labor. He couldn't miss this moment. But of course, life never gave Paul lahote a break, because up ahead of him was Demetri and thrashing in his grip was Victoria.

Paul go! Sam and Jacob can handle her but you gotta get to Bella! Embry yelled through the pack mind.

Thank you embry! Everyone else kick into to high gear! Paul ordered

He was going to see his pups. No matter what.

…..

Bella felt herself beginning to give up.

He wasn't coming. He was going to miss the birth of their children. She couldn't do this. She didn't want to do this ! it hurt too much.

She squeezed Emmett's hand as she felt her stomach contract, urging her to push.

"come on baby girl! I know you don't want to, but you have to push! The babies won't wait any longer!"

Bella ignored her fathers voice as she suddenly saw black spots in her vision. She was getting dizzy and so, so tired.

She just wanted to sleep. Could she sleep through the pain?

"Bella! don't you dare give up on me!I'm here! I'm here honey!"

Bella's eyes snapped open, turning her head she was met with Paul's grey eyes.

"y- you. Y- you made it…" she whispered hoarsely.

"yes, yes I did! Now, honey we need you to push! Come on honey push! Our babies are waiting to see their mother. Just one big push! Come on honey!"

Even though Bella didn't want to, she gave it her all and pushed.

Unfortunately, from there on she couldn't remember much. Her vision was beginning to fade to black and swore she heard howls. But along with that were what sounded like cries…

Are those my babies? I hope it's a girl… or…or maybe a boy… I don't know. I'm just…I'm just so tired.

It was then Bella fell into the darkness.

...

Emily young tapped her teacup in impatience. It had been three days since she last saw Sam! Three days ! the more he was away the more the imprint pull tugged at her.

Ever since that stupid vampire war, he hadn't been home. Matter of fact none of the wolves or the imprints had been by her house since then.

It didn't make any sense, especially how terrified they all seemed to be.

Flashback:

Emily screamed bloody murder as Quill burst into her house.

Behind him were the other imprints.

Rachel, Kim , and Claire.

"Emily, the girls are staying here! don't leave this house! No matter what you hear! None of you leave this house!"

And then he left just a quickly as he came.

"What's going on?! Quill practically dragged me out of my house!" Kim grumbled

Rachel sighed as she opened the fridge.

"probably some false alarm, like always."

But they were wrong. throughout the night, the howls had gotten louder and more aggressive. To make matters worse, Dark clouds had rolled in.

Claire sniffled as she looked outside the window.

"Aunt Emmy? What's going on? I scared..."

"just relax Claire. Everything will be fine." Emily encouraged.

Eventually all the imprints fell asleep. Only waking up when the front door crashed open. It was Collin, looking rough for wear and agitated.

"You guys can go home now. but you have to go straight home. Claire come on honey, I'm gonna take you to see joy."

"wait? Where are the guys! When is Sam coming back! And your tracking mud through my house!" Emily complained.

To her shock, Collin actually let out a low growl.

"The pack has stuff to take care. That's all you need to know."

With that said, he ushered the other imprints out the door and left Emily alone.

End of flashback.

Frustrated over being ignored Emily put her coat on and marched out the door. She was going to find Sam and drag his ass back home.

Her search began at the clear waters, but she was shocked to find their house empty. She swung by the blacks, but their house was empty also.

Her anger seethed once she pulled up to pauls, but once again, it was empty.

Emily banged her hands on the steering wheel. Where could everyone have gone? And why was Sam hiding from her? With her mind made up, Emily decided she needed to follow the imprint pull.

I should have done that in the first place.

…

Charlie had tears in his eyes as he held his grandson.

He looked over at Billy who had the same expression as he held his grandson's twin.

But he felt a sob come along as he looked over at the sleeping little girl in Emmett Cullen's arms.

To Everyone's surprise, Bella had been carrying triplets. Twin boys and one little girl.

He knew that twins ran on Billy's side of the family much to Charlie's delight. He and Billy had gotten there wish to be more than just good friends. They were finally related even though it was through marriage. Charlie had been disappointed upon finding out that Paul was Billy hidden love child, but he couldn't fault the man too much. He hadn't known. Charlie was just concerned for how Rachel, Rebecca and Jacob would receive the news. He knew that Billy had told the twins and that Jacob had found out from Paul. Of course, Rachel and Jacob had taken it the worst. But to Charlie's and Billy's surprise, Rebecca had taken the news better than her younger siblings. Stating that everyone Makes mistakes and that she couldn't put all the blame on her father. He was really drunk and had done something stupid. Hadn't everyone done that?

Charlie was amazed. Out of all the siblings, he had expected Rebecca to be the angriest, but she wasn't. Well how could she be when she was gazing down at her nephew?

His grandson let out a small yawn and Charlie couldn't help but gush.

How could he have been so cruel to his own daughter? He could only imagine the devastation if she had aborted them.

Thinking of Bella, Charlie looked up the stairwell. She had been asleep for three days with no signs of waking up.

He suggested calling Dr Cullen, but the chorus of growls told him his answer. Instead sue came over to check on her.

Her vital signs were fine, and everything was normal, sue concluded that she was just exhausted. Giving birth to triplets was hard work, especially when they didn't know they had triplets. He had been dumbstruck when he saw another head poke out.

Charlie just prayed she woke up soon. Everyone was waiting on her.

The sudden closing of a door had Charlie look up. Immediately all the wolves stiffened. He still wasn't used to their fast reflexes or even their lupine instincts. It was a lot to get used to.

Charlie watched as Paul walked down the stairs slowly. It was if he was taking in the room. Every wolf sat up waiting on his instructions.

With a simple nod of his head, the wolves returned to what they were doing.

"Everything alright son?"

Paul swallowed and nodded. He then looks towards each child, looking as lost as Charlie felt.

"why don't you sit down and take this one. I'm gonna whip up some food for everybody."

Charlie suppressed a chuckle as Paul took the infant with trembling hands.

"He's so tiny…"

"yeah, he is son, but something tells me he won't stay that way for long."

….

Paul almost cried as his son stretched out in his arms. He looked to see his daughter sleeping so soundly in the vampire's arms. As much as he didn't want to admit it, he knew his children were going to call that burly vampire uncle Emmet.

He then turned to see his father smiling down on his other son.

Paul still couldn't believe they had three children. It suddenly explained why Bella had grew bigger than normal, so quickly. She had been carrying three pups. And as much as he didn't want it to happen, he could hear the spirits warning him.

His pups were going to phase one day and so would any other pups born in the future.

With this revelation, Paul stood up and faced his awaiting pack.

"everyone…relax…" he said gently

Immediately, he saw shoulders drop and heads bow in submission. Except for one. Jacob was still fighting.

"I am proud. Proud of you all as a pack, as brothers and as your alpha; You all fought with bravery and honor. You struck down your enemies without a second thought and I am… I am overwhelmed with appreciation.-" Paul had to stop as he suddenly became overwhelmed with emotion

What the heck was wrong with him? since when he became so emotional? Maybe it had been the battle or the aftermath. Or maybe it was the fact that he had a family now. A full family and three infants he was now in charge of loving and caring for. He didn't know. But right now, he was sobbing like a damn baby in front of his pack.

As he cried, Paul felt someone, reached up and touch him.

Opening his eyes, Paul look down to his father, his chief looking up at him with the same expression. And for some reason, Billy touching him had the pack swarming him with hugs and brushes against the shoulder.

And through it all Paul heard one thing. The one thing his pack was trying to tell him with their gazes and touches.

They loved him. they loved him and they accepted him as their Alpha.

He was there Alpha, and they had his back. No matter what.

Except for Jacob of course.

Paul wiped his eyes and shifted his son to lay on his shoulder.

"Thanks everyone. Now, which one of you monsters wants to hold my son?"

Hands shot up and playful snarls were heard as the pack quietly argued amongst themselves, who would hold the pups.

Paul chuckled as he handed his son over to Leah who looked a little nervous, but he mentally assured she'd be ok.

He then motioned for Embry and Emmett to follow him.

Emmett quickly handed his daughter off to one of the wolves and followed the duo outside.

Paul wasn't surprised, to see Marcus and the three other vampires jumping down from the trees.

"let me guess, Carlisle's coming?"

Marcus seemed surprised.

"indeed, how did you know?"

"instinct. Besides, I'm sure the Cullen coven will have much to say after their precious mind reader was destroyed. Why aren't you with them?" he asked turning to Emmett.

Emmett snarled.

"…After what Jasper did and Carlisle pleading for Edward's life like he was innocent. I think my ties with the Cullen coven are severed."

"Yes, your loyalties have changed indeed. Perhaps you would like a position with the volturi?" Marcus asked

Emmett hesitated.

He was going to say something but stopped when Sculpia removed her hood.

Emmett gasped. Sculpia did the same.

"my, my ,my how things have changed. " Marcus hummed

Paul looked between the two vampires before it clicked.

"ohhh great. Vampire imprinting."

"more like the mating pull. It seems your wife was not your true mate." Marcus informed Emmett.

"well, I could have told you that. she treated me like dirt, and I could never make her happy."

Sculpia cocked her head to the side as she moved closer to Emmett.

"Aro was the same way. Nothing could please him."

"oh my goodness, please tell me you both are coming back to Italy . I can't imagine ruling the vampire world with just cacius and Marcus…they'll drive me insane..." Athendora whined.

Sculpia looked over at Emmett in concern.

"What do you want to do? I have spent millenniums trapped in a tower being forced to feel content. I want to help rule our world, but I don't want to be trapped."

"sister , I assure you and our new brother that we can come to a flexible agreement, but I believe we have bigger fish to fry."

With that said, everyone froze as the remaining Cullen coven came racing into sight.

"Emmett! You idiot we've been trying move and you've been holding us up!" Rosalie hissed

Sculpia hissed and crouched low in front of Emmett.

"I haven't fought a bitch in years but I'm not afraid to do it now!" Sculpia threatened.

"And who do you think you are!"

"ladies please." Carlisle interjected

"What do you want Cullen?" Paul sneered

"we wanted to simply come and retrieve Emmett."

"and that's it?"

"well, there are matters of the treaty but I'm sure, we can discuss that at a later time."

Paul growled.

"A later time?! do you have any idea what we have just gone through because of your sparkly asses! And you want to talk about a treaty! GET OFF MY LAWN BLOOD SUCKER BEFORE I RIP YOU APART LIKE I DID YOUR MIND READING SON! AND AS FOR THE TREATY IT IS VOID! THE CULLENS ARE HERE BY BANNED FROM LA PUSH AND THE STATE OF WASHINGTON! AND AS FOR EMMETT CULLEN, YOU HAVE NO CLAIM OVER HIM! HE IS FROM HERE ON OUT UNDER THE PROTECTION OF THE QUILLETTE PACK!"

A hiss sounded from Jasper and Rosalie as they crouched Defensively.

"you got some nerve boy…" Jasper hissed. "after all we done for you!"

Paul let out a dark laugh as he lunged for jasper and before anyone had time to react, Paul had Jasper in a vice grip, ready to break his neck.

"after all you've done for me? Weren't you the one who was going to leave my wife for dead and not tell me she had disappeared! If it hadn't been for Emmett she probably would have died! But did any of you care? no! Especially you blondie! You had all of us played for a fool, thinking we could trust you when all you had was your own interest at heart. Let me tell you something if I see, you or your coven here again, I will kill you."

Paul let the vampire go and turned to Marcus. Already knowing exactly what Paul was thinking.

"The Alpha's word is law, and he has the volturi to back him up. Upon this day, the volturi is creating an alliance of partnership with the quilete people and their pack. Now as stated before, Emmett Cullen is now under the pack and the volturi's protection. He is no longer apart of the Cullen coven. End of story. You all may take your leave and do not return."

"Marcus, I don't understand this. Emmett is apart of my coven. He's married to Rosalie why ask them to separate."

"I am not some pet to be tossed back and forth!" Emmett roared. " Rosalie and I have been having issues from the get-go. Were getting a divorce, that's final and I'm staying here until further notice. I will not be leaving with your coven Carlisle. Now just as Marcus asked please leave."

Carlisle looked between Marcus, Paul, and Emmett. He knew he was outnumbered and talking was useless.

He turned to his already shattered coven and surrendered.

"Let us take our leave. Rosalie you can call Emmett once he's had time to cool down."

Alice rubbed her temples in frustration. This was not what she had seen in the future. But she couldn't really fight it either. She would just have to call or email Bella some other time.

The Cullen's proceeded to leave but Rosalie's temper got the best of her and she turned back to launch herself at Emmett or Paul, who ever she could get to first.

Before anyone could react, a blinding light swept over the group and a pure white wolf with blue eyes had Rosalie by the throat and standing next to that wolf was a very tired looking Bella. She was wrapped in a dark blue sheet with her hair falling to her shoulders.

"They asked you to leave. Try something like that again and I will kill you myself."
