Erm I should probably start with an apology. So I,m so very sorry, I never meant to take so long between chapters, college was intense I was barley keeping my head above water for a while. Then when things calmed down I wasn't in the mood to write another chapter this one has been sitting finished for a while. This story is not abandoned I promise I will complete it. I do know its short but it something and not nothing I have the next chapter planned out some of it typed up so it won't be too long coming. The reviews and Pms really got me out of the funk so thank you to everyone who did.

Bella's P.O.V Chapter 7.

After I utter his name to Tanya I feel as if time has slowed down. In those seconds I am able to see all the emotions that pass across her face. Anger, fury, pain, astonishment but then happiness, love, and adoration come to her face only for a fleeting moment though. All too soon do the emotions morph back into negative emotions directed only at Edward.

As soon as the last remnants of Edwards name departs my lips a growl starts deep in Tanya's throat. Tanya's hand tightens its hold over my own. The sound she is emitting is still going, slowly getting louder as her anger grows. It's a guttural sound yet oddly protective but for some reason it warms me slightly to hear her sounding out her emotions.

I try to get away from her, attempting to unlock our hands. If there is one thing that I have learned spending time with the Cullen's is that an angry vampire is not someone you want to be close to.

As if sensing my distress Tanya stops growling and starts purring soothingly while rubbing comforting circles on my back. The serene atmosphere only lasts a couple of minutes my curiosity getting the better of me.

"Why are you upset with Edward being my mate?" I whisper out my voice cracking with emotion.

Tanya shakes her head at me and winces. She knows something, something she's not telling me.

"Bella I'm not upset, I'm furious" she looks at my startled face and continues quickly.

"Not with you, never with you. I am angry with Edward."

"For what?" I question.

"Everything, after everything I have heard there is a lot of things I can pick to be annoyed about. Leaving you in a forest, letting you get hunted by some unknown vampire, getting hurt, telling you you're his mate, the list goes on."

Several thoughts go through my head at once. Why does she care about me? How does all this affect her? What does she mean Edward telling me that I am his mate?

"Of course he told me that I am his mate, that shouldn't upset you."

My statement hung in the air, going un-replied by the blonde.

"I mean Edward was my boyfriend until he left me ….. in a forest" I say with a bit of humour trying to lighten the mood. Tanya just looked at me sadly.

"The problem with him telling you that you were his mate was you're not his mate, he was lying to you Bella"
