Lilly walked out of the front yard, saying, "Rosalie, if you haven't made your choice by the end of the Vampire, Werewolf summit go to the reservation ask to speak to Agustina she knows how contact me!"
"Oh… and do be at the signing?"
"What Signing?" Rosalie asks not missing a beat.
Lilly's disembodied voice said, "The Peace Treaty."
"Oh… just a word of warning, the pack in La Push now has Hybrid members."
Meaning What… Exactly!" Carlisle asks out of concern.
"Meaning they can survive your bite with little or no effect, but you will not survive theirs." Lilly's disembodied voice explained.
"They are both Wolf and Vampire!"
Back on The Quileute Tribal Lands Drake and Lilly arrive on the reservation baring gifts, slung over Drakes Shoulder is a very large black bear, Lilly has an 18 point buck over each shoulder.
"Don't worry." Lilly said, "non-venomous kills."
Bella's disembodied voice said, "This coming from the women who wrestled 2 full grown Polar Bears… For fun and didn't even break a sweat."
The entire pack stopped what they were doing and looked at her, Lilly looked at them and said, "What… I needed some exercise and fighting a human wouldn't even be a challenge."
The couple make their way to the butchering area of the res.
15 minutes later Drake and Lilly were halfway through the butchering process, when Leah's brother Seth walked up behind them, "How do you stand it."
"The smell of blood, or the smell of wolves." Lilly asks in a willowy aged voice asked.
"Both?"
"We are several millions of years old Seth, you're not the first wolves I've encountered."
"And the Blood?"
Placing her knives down she turned to face him saying, "While it's true a newborn is ruled by their desire for blood, the older the vampire gets that craving effects them less and less."
"Drake and I can suppress that craving entirely."
"Seth" Drake said, "A word of warning, older vampires tend to lose touch with their humanity."
Seth just nodded saying, "So you 2 are the exception to the rule."
"We see ourselves as guardians of humanity" Drake explained, "Now you look like a strong wolf, take that side of deer to the food preparation area."
As he was about to leave Seth stated, "It's a safe bet that not all Vampires or Wolves will see this treaty as a good thing."
With a light chuckle, Drake said, "You want to train with us."
"I want to know what I'm doing."
"Seth" Drake asked, "Didn't the Praetor Lupus teach you how to fight a vampire?"
Seth nods saying, "Yes… he also told me if I wanted to know how the old ones fight to seek you out."
"H-How did you know I was staying with The Praetor Lupus?"
"Backchannels Seth… during a war they are useful, besides Agustina has been staying with them." Lilly said offhandedly.
Lilly… Drake thought… You do know what will happen when Agustina meets Seth?
Inwardly chuckling Lilly thought, What usually happens when mate meets mate for the first time.
Seth made his way up to the food preparation area with a side of dear sling over his shoulder and looked eyes with Agustina and she looked eyes with him each freezing mid-step.
Agustina realized what was happening before Seth did.
Oh, hell no, he's an I don't mind younger men but he's an infant.
Using infrasonic speech and speaking in Ancient Greek Lilly called out, "Fatima, Lycaon your daughter just found her mate."
At the longhouse Fatima, Lycaon gave each other a sideways glance Fatima said, "It would seem history repeats itself."
"Doesn't it always love." Came the rough baritone voice, "I believe he is Leah's younger brother."
15 minutes later elsewhere on the reservation Agustina approached one of her 2 current sires.
"Leah" Agustina called, "I need you to make introductions to your parents for me."
"For whom?" She asks eyeing her speculatively.
"Me" Her voice was grating as Agustina said, "Seth Just Imprinted… On Me."
Leah wanted to laugh but she knew this was no laughing matter as she said, "Come on!"
A short run later a six-month pregnant Leah led Agustina into the house and in a breathy voice stated, "Why am I so winded?"
Shaking her head Agustina said, "Because… your carrying babies."
Ignoring the sarcasm Leah called, "Mom… Dad!"
Helping Leah to her seat before she took her own Agustina takes a moment to gather her thoughts.
"Mrs. Clearwater" Agustina greeted offhandedly trying to maintain a calm tenor to her voice.
"Please call me Sue."
"Sue." Agustina said, "Your son, imprinted on me!"
Sue Clearwater's eyes lit up until Agustina said, "I don't think you understand, the life of a Hybrid is by no means easy."
"Mom!" Leah Calls, "Imagine being stranded at sea, your surrounded by water but your dying of thirst"
"It's like being a newborn everyday for the rest of your life, only worse."
"I-I see" Sue said, "So the rumors are true."
Agustina asked, "What have you heard."
"Only what my daughter has told me."
"Mrs. Clearwater, if I go through with this, I don't think you realize how much The Quileute Pack will change."
There was a knock at the door. Excusing herself Sue went to the door Lycaon entered easily enough than Lycaon said, "My wife will need your permission to enter."
Agustina's words from only moments ago came back and hit Sue smack in the face
If I go through with this, I don't think you realize how much The Quileute Pack will change.
Sue Clearwater's mouth opened and then closed, opened again and then closed.
"That's alright dear." Fatima said, "It is a bit of a revelation!"
Looking at Fatima, Sue said, "You look so… normal, no red eyes, no gold eyes."
"When a vampire reaches my age, they are no longer ruled by their cravings, and like my mother I can eat human food."
Finally, over her shock Sue stated, "Please come in, both of you."
"Mrs. Clearwater" Lycaon asked, "Did you inherit your husbands title and rank."
"As the wife of a tribal elder I hold a certain status in the tribe itself."
