Author's Note:

Sorry about not updating in awhile life took another un expected turn. I should be able to update every other week, hopefully. It's gonna be the Cullens and Denali's first day of school how exciting! There may or may not be some traumatized humans after this chapter who knows. Enjoy!

I groaned as I struggled to get up from my tangle of covers. I rubbed my eyes and yawned letting out a small puff of fire. It was quiet and I looked over my bedside table. I blearily looked at the numbers and it took me a couple of moments for the time to register in my head. When it did though, I started untangling my limbs from the sheets yelling shit.

I was running late for being early. Everyone else probably already left without me and I pouted at that since no one bothered to wake me up meanies.

I stayed out extra late training the shifters and I had burned more energy than I thought the past week without sleeping until last night. I jumped out of bed and sigiled on clean clothes thanking god I managed to at least shower last night. I went to the bathroom and did my morning routine then glided down the stairs. Esme was already waiting by it with my backpack.

"Your lunch is already packed in it sweetie." She helped me put on my backpack, then hugged me and gave me a kiss on the fore head.

I hugged her back tight and savored this moment. I never had someone do this for me and it just warmed up my heart. "Thanks mom!"

I kissed her on the cheek and ran to the garage grabbing my helmet off the rack on the way to my motorcycle. I all but shoved my helmet on my head. The key was already in the ignition so, I opened the choke lever. Then I turned on the ignition and hummed as I had the green light making sure it was in neutral. My left hand squeezed and held my clutch lever down and I used my right thumb to push the start button on the handle bars. I practically purred as my motorcycle came to life. I was so hyped up to ride my baby again that I could practical feel myself drool. I started progressively closing the choke lever and opening the throttle slightly as the engine warmed up. I was damn near bouncing in the seat and I leaned down on the motor bike and counted down.

When I felt like enough time passed I raised the kick stand, set it in first gear, revved it and took off out the already opened garage.

I watched through my tinted eye shield as the scenery passed on by as I sped up. It wasn't the same as being able to ride on the back of my mount Sheba, but I couldn't show up on a gigantic magical feline.

A sudden thought crossed my mind. I have yet to introduce Sheba to the Cullens and the Denali. I'll cross that bridge eventually. Just...not today or that soon for that matter.

I must have spent too long thinking of all the worse case scenarios for how that meeting could possible go because before I knew it I was pulling into the parking lot of Forks High School. I could hear them gossiping about my siblings already and when they saw me they pointed and started talking about me too. One even had the audacity to say my helmet was stupid.

"Do you see that? Who the fuck wears a stupid tacky cat themed helmet?"

Bitch, I happen to like cats and the ears on this helmet are awesome. This helmet also happens to have Bluetooth and grated whiskers built in. Don't hate because you don't have one.

I pulled up in the parking spot next to Emmett's Jeep and parked my motorcycle.

Emmett and Edward were on the hood of the Jeep with Emmett's arm flung over Edwards shoulders. Emmett was wearing a black zip up with a white tee shirt underneath, with jeans and a pair of sneakers. Edward wore a navy blue long sleeved, with some casual jeans and loafers.

Rosalie was leaning against the support between the front seat and the back seat. She was dressed in a red and black burly blouse flannel, while wearing some black leggings and two inch pumps.

Jasper was leaned against the back part of the Jeep with his back right above the rear wheel and he was wearing a light grey scarf, with a OD green jacket, dark grey shirt, jeans, and boots.

Alice hopped down from the back seat and made her way towards me. She was in the jacket she had made from the Jurviler Spider's Silk. It was a nice silvery blue and she complemented it with darker blue skirt silver leggings and black ankle boots.

"When a Rose has shown its' thorns to protect itself from an unforgiving environment and it is not enough. Do you intervene and protect it with your own two hands as best you can despite the injuries you may cause yourself?"

I wasn't stupid and had my fair share of experiences with seers. I deduced that it had something to do with Rosalie as the rose comment was kind of obvious but I couldn't possibly imagine what Rosalie would need protecting from.

Nonetheless this was my family now and I was gonna protect what was mine. I reached up to take off my helmet and looked at the pixie like vampire in the eyes with the utmost serious look I could muster.

"I do solemnly swear, that I will protect this rose with my own two hands despite the injuries that I may incur upon myself."

I quickly grabbed her hand as warmth from a sigil appeared on my own from the oath. She didn't flinch and looked down at our hands probably trying to see if there was going to be lights or something.

It ended after a couple of seconds and I just pulled her into me for a hug. "Don't look too disappointed now Pixie. My magic can be a bit more subtle sometimes. Daily hug time!"

Her tinkling laugh sounded and I could hear how the humans attention was drawn even more, so I set Alice back on her feet.

Rosalie's voice washed over us too low for the humans too hear. "Do the humans really have nothing better to do?"

She was already wearing her patented bitch face and I wanted to smoosh her face so she would smile. However, I have the distinct feeling she would kill me if I did that in front of all the squishy sand bags.

Jaspers voice soothingly said, "It'll pass. It generally does before too long."

He held his hand out as Alice skipped her way back over to him and placed a kiss against his cheek.

I got off my bike and leaned against the car next to Rosalie hip bumping her. She rolled her eyes and hip bumped me back.

"You didn't wake me up meanie."

She looked at her nails disinterestedly, "You seemed dead tired when I came in to check on you, so I let you sleep."

I was touched she came into my room to check in on me and instead of hugging her all I did was lay my head against her shoulder. She stiffened for a couple seconds, but didn't tell me to get off of her so I just stayed there.

It wasn't long before the Denali sisters showed up and they took the parking spot next to me. When they stepped out of the car the whispers grew louder and I gazed at them through hooded lids. Tanya had on a denim skirt with leggings underneath with her patented denim jacket with a fur collar.

Kate was wearing some thigh hugging bellbottoms, a dark purple zip up and a graphic tee of some kind with black and purple sneakers.

Irina had on a dark red cardigan with a long white shirt underneath, dark blue jeans on with some stylish fur boots.

My heart rate picked up a little as the three of them practically glided their way to me.

Kate was the first to reach me and gave me a side hug.

"Do I have to worry about you stealing our mate Rosalie?" Kate asked jokingly.

The Denali sisters knew I was very close with Rosalie and Alice and would often joke about them stealing me away.

Rosalie scoffed, "It's not my fault she likes to cling to me like a slug."

I made a face at the analogy and Irina laughed then kissed my cheek as she was the next to give me a side hug.

"But a very cute slug at least." She smirked at me as she stood on the other side of Rose and I just pouted at her.

Tanya was the last one to embrace me but she had leaned in letting her mouth brush against my ear and whispered so only I could hear.

"You must have looked so hot riding that motorcycle Drakon. If you come over tonight, I might just give you a free ride."

I felt a low roar make its way past my lips as Tanya let her hand crawl up my shirt then pull away before I could kiss her.

Rosalie gave me a V8 on the forehead and I blinked owlishly at her. "Cool it, we are at school you guys."

I hugged Rosalie and buried my face in her neck giving her a muffled thank you. She gave a long suffering sigh then patted my head a few times, "Yes, yes, you're welcome. Now will you get off me? We should start heading to class to get this day over with."

The others all agreed and I took a second to look at the building then shook my head to clear my nervous thoughts. It's been a long time since I was going to be back in a high school and the last time I was in one it wasn't exactly the best experience. However, I was excited by learning and that was enough to keep a small smile on my face as I headed to my first class.

I had memorized my schedule by heart already and it was just a matter of finding the right room. It took a few minutes but I finally found it and entered, it was English. I didn't want to be hassled by some of the more curious gossip seeking humans and took a front row seat.

It didn't make much of a difference though as two girls, one that I definitely recognized came up to my table.

"Hello! I'm Jessica and this is my BFF Lauren."

I gave them a polite smile, "Hello, my name is Lee. Lee Trang."

They made themselves comfortable a bit too close to my personal space and I leaned back in my chair feeling my eyebrow wanting to twitch.

"So how are you and your family liking forks so far? That is your family right? " Jessica asked.

"Forks is nice, it rains a lot and its soothing to listen too. Also that is my family, we're all adopted. Then there are our cousins the Denali's from Alaska."

Hopefully that was enough to satiate her curiosity for now because the teacher walked through the door and told everyone to take a seat. Jessica and Lauren took the seats behind me and I mentally sighed. Since it was the first day the teacher mostly went over what they were going to go over for the year and then gave them the syllabus, necessary books and materials that they needed. When the bell rang to release the class I couldn't have left fast enough because Jessica sure asked a lot of questions and I answered back with as little information as possible since she seemed to be so damn nosey.

I heard a familiar giggle and I scowled.

"You knew this whole time evil little pixie."

"I only got hit with the vision this morning when you decided to sit in the front." She hip bumped me and I rolled my eyes.

"Well tell me this o great seer sister of mine. Am I going to experience any more bold and nosey ones such as Jessica?"

Alice hummed for a second then looked away from me then back at me. "Minor curious humans but nothing so bold dear sister. You can chose to answer or not it makes little difference in the end. The gossip will spread like wildfire before long. Just remember what I asked this morning and your answer. All will be fine in the end, I promise."

There it was again, that warning. I had that ominous feeling that I really wasn't going to like what was coming my way. I really had no choice. but to weather through it.

"I'll do my best to remember. I just ask to remind me if I forget Alice."

Alice smiled then side hugged me.

"Of course Lee."

We split ways to go to our next class and I ended up in Math with Irina, Emmett, and Rosalie.

I couldn't help but whisper score and dibs on back corner seat. I could hear their chuckles but I could care less as I made my way to the very back of the room and sat down. I wasn't surprised at all when Irina was the one to sit down next to me.

"Hello, beautiful." I can't help, but say as she sat down.

"Why thank you sister. "Rosalie said as she flips her hair over her shoulder and sits in the seat in front of me.

I chuckle as Irina scoffs and Emmett just says smooth Romeo taking the last seat.

"Hello, Lee. How was your first class?"

I can't help but groan and let my head fall on the table, "I think I met the school gossips. I gave them the very basic information about us since they were so damn nosey so, expect rumors about us to spread like wild fire soon."

Irina's fingers run through my hair and it feels really pleasant. "You really don't like gossip much do you?"

"Gossip and rumors are stupid. Facts are so much better why waste time chasing rumors? I've spent so much time chasing rumors and lost many good people that it has made me bitter, but let's not get into that right now."

I turn my head and smile at her. Irina smiles back at me and pats my head so I sit back up as the bell rings signaling the start of class.

A few of my other classes had some of my other siblings in them and before long It was time for lunch. I was at the far end of the building and it would be a good walk before I got to the cafeteria. About halfway there I heard Rosalie's voice and a few boys voices and she didn't seem too pleased.

"Come on hottie, how about we show you around town tonight?"

"No, thank you. Now, if you can move out of the way. I would like to go eat lunch with my family."

"Don't be like that girl, he just wants to show you a good time."

"I said no thank you."

Rosalie moved to go pass them and one of them reached out and put their hands on her shoulder. I got pissed and yelled out.

"She fucking said no are you deaf?"

"Who the fuck are you?"

"Someone who's about to kick your ass if you don't get your hands off her, she's with me."

"Lee don't these scum really aren't worth it."

"Hey, what the fuck!"

I moved forwards and grabbed his wrist and almost threw him him away from Rosalie.

"I told you to remove your filthy fucking hands from her. You should be fucking ashamed of yourselves. When a woman says no it means fucking no. You going against that is boarding on rape like behavior. Creeps. Think on that bit scum."

The humans around us looked absolutely stunned and kind of ashamed and I could literally give a shit right now about them. I turned towards Rosalie and she honestly looked a little surprised at me. I grabbed both her hands in mine and kissed her on her knuckles.

It was a light press of lips that held a lot of promise. Her skin was soft like velvet and it kind of made me want to keep running my lips over her skin. I was feeling a strong urge to envelope her in my arms and hold her away from everybody's gaze. Nobody could tell by looking at Rosalie and her patented bitch face, but I could, that she was starting to get uncomfortable.

I withdrew my face from her hands and cleared my throat. I gently let her hands fall back to her sides and she crossed her arms across her chest giving her more of that mean girl look. I stuffed my hands into my pants and leaned my weight back on one foot adopting an easy going posture. I felt awkwardness immediately creep upon me.

"Let's not keep the others waiting too long now Rosalie." I started walking towards the cafeteria with Rosalie by my side. The other students were already pointing and whispering about us.

"That blonde one is such a bitch."

"The asian one's got balls talking to the football players like that."

"Did you see her kiss her hand? You think they are a couple too?"

"They totally have to be."

"I wish someone came to my rescue like that."

"Don't be stupid this isn't a romance drama-"

I could see Rosalie give them a glare out of the corner of my eye. I would totally be doing the same thing if I wasn't feeling awkward about Rosalie right now.

"Look, Rosalie I'm sorry If my actions back there made you uncomfortable. If you want I will refrain from making any contact with your person unless explicitly given permission especially since you know about my less than innocent thoughts."

Rosalie side eyed me but didn't say anything. She shrugged and I sighed as that was about the best answer I was going to get since we were in a very public place.

I didn't exactly expect an answer but it still didn't ease any awkwardness. It was a couple more minutes before we reached the cafeteria. I searched for the rest of our family as Rosalie got in line to pick out her prop food.

As awkward as I felt I still felt the need to be near Rosalie so I waited in line with her as she got her lunch and glared at any of the hormonal boys that were brave enough to even try to come our way. They thought better of it once they met my glare.

Once we were with our siblings and the Denali's Emmett let out a low whistle. "Damn Lee you and Rosalie are all the gossip right now."

Three low sets of growls went off and my own joined in when I realized they came from my mates.

"Not right now you three please."

"You need to explain something at least. You are mated to us three you can't go around claiming an unmated vampire."

Tanya said leaning forward practically hissing at me. I clicked my tongue I knew vampires could get jealous but damn.

"Dragons as a species have multiple mates. The Immortal Dragon Talathirr has 35 mates."

Irina growled out, "Are we just numbers to you?"

I panicked and stood up waving my hands back and forth.

"No! No, no, no, no!" People started looking my way so I sat back down and I could feel myself starting to turn bright red. This was becoming a huge train wreck and fast.

"What I'm trying to say is that I love you three very much because you are my mates. While I love you three very much I also may hold love for others that may also be mine and therefore your potential mates if you allow it..."

Kate started to snigger and dropped her fork that had salad on it.

"No. I absolutely refuse." Tanya said crossing her arms leaning back in her seat looking defiantly back at me.

"I agree with Tanya on this one. You are mated to us three. We should be all you need and we feel complete with you. Do you not feel the connection?"

I pinched the bridge of my nose. This was not the kind of conversation I wanted to have in front of all my siblings. "I was wanting to save this topic of conversation for when we were alone and I still do. I will say no more on this matter until we are alone. This is something that is only discussed with mates."

Tanya, Kate and Irina all grumbled, but agreed to talk about it later at least.

Alice piped up, "However, this still leaves the big problem at hand. As it stands since the rest of us seem to be coupled up besides Lee and Rosalie. Rosalie's enhanced beauty is making her a big target for the male population and part of the female population of Forks. The rest of the female population is turning quite bitter and thus she will be harassed quite often by all parties if left alone. This gossip involving Lee is the only thing that seems to be the only thing that will stave off the mass in the future. Lee apparently has a bad girl vibe from what some of the rumor mill says."

I was pulling out my lunchbox from my backpack when she finished saying all that looking at me excitedly.

Rosalie just hummed, "If it would keep these pest away and annoy those three I don't see why not."

Rosalie moved her chair next to mine and draped my arm over her shoulders. I blinked owlishly a few times and just adjusted using my left hand to eat.

Tanya was glaring daggers at Rosalie and Irina was frowning. Kate was looking back and forth between Rosalie and I with an impish grin.

Jasper had to hold onto Alice's shoulders as she was nearly vibrating in her seat from excitement. Edward was making a disgusted face and saying he did not need to see those images Kate. Emmett was just laughing at the look on Edward's face.

I had a feeling this wasn't gonna go very well, but this is what Alice's vision was about. I hope Rosalie doesn't antagonize them too much otherwise this'll make it way too hard to convince Tanya and Irina. Kate seems to be okay with Rosalie, but I'll ask anyways just to be sure.

The rest of the school day wasn't too crazy. Of course the gossip spread that Rosalie and I were a couple now and Tanya started to ignore me and Irina would frown whenever she would see me. Not gonna lie kinda got me in the feels. I could feel their unease through our bond and I wish I could soothe their worries now. I was thankful but also dreading that school was over. I was gonna drive to the Denali household now to talk with them. They already left and I was stalling a little and Alice finally pushed me over to my bike and said if I waited any longer it would just be bad. I took her advice and put on my helmet and started up my bike. I waved good-bye to my siblings and took off from the parking lot.

The drive to their house was just as beautiful as it was to our own home. If I wasn't nervous I may have enjoyed it a bit more. I put my kickstand out and took off my helmet hanging it on my handle. Their house looked like it was made out of huge logs on the outside with a modern shape and modern windows and porch. I got off my bike and made my way to the front door climbing up the steps. Before I could knock Carmen threw open the door and pulled me straight into a hug. I laughed and squeezed her tight.

"It's good to see you to Carmen."

"A whole week, Cariño."

She held me at arms length and gave me a look. I gave her a sheepish grin.

"I promise to not go that long without contacting you at least Carmen."

Although Carmen was playing a maternal role she really was more of like an awesome big sister. She eventually let me go and said they were waiting for me in their room. Her and Eleazar were going to leave to hunt to give us privacy to talk. I thanked her and let her know I would call her when I was done talking with them. I went upstairs and followed their scents to a door that was partially opened. I knocked on it even though I could clearly see all three of them lounging on the bed in varying states of undress. Their eyes locked on me and I very much had the impression of looking at lionesses.

"May I come in?"

"You may," was Tanya's response.

I stepped inside the room closing the door behind me. There was a vanity chair in the room so I grabbed that and brought it to the foot of the bed to face them and sat in it. I don't think I would be able to talk otherwise if I was to take a seat on the bed.

Kate was wearing a very small tank top that was barely holding her breasts and some really cheeky underwear. She was lying on her stomach looking at a magazine kicking one leg back and forth. Tanya was topless and wearing some very sheer lace undies laying on her side with her head on Kate's lower back. Irina had on a T-shirt that had rode up past her hips and she was wearing a g-string. Her back was pressed against Tanya's front and Tanya's hand kept running up and down the length of her abdomen.

It was a damn good sight and I was more than aroused at what I was seeing but I needed to have space in order to get this talk done with.

"Well, back to my earlier statement from lunch. Dragons can have multiple mates. Each mate bond is slightly different in that the potential mate will be something that the dragon needs or is either missing in an aspect of their life. The mates of the Dragon can also develop mate bonds to each other too if they wish. More often than not this occurs to because they find that they are also a missing aspect of their lives as well. Now before you go and start refusing there are some benefits. You are able to feel each other's emotions to an extent and in some cases if the bond develops strong enough you can even kind of leave impressions or communicate telepathically. Also we gain a trait or ability from one another. You three are probably Fire Proof now, though I really don't want to test that theory out. Lastly, it's not like I can just stop who I end up recognizing as a potential mate."

Irina frowned and asked, "Potential Mate?"

I looked up at the ceiling, "While yes Dragons do have mates and can have multiple mates we still are particular and even then we give them a choice if they even want to be with us. We are timeless creatures, and some are gods."

Kate spoke and I looked at her, "Rosalie is a potential mate isn't she?"

I twirled a lock of hair around my finger, "Yes, she is a potential mate and so is Alice for that matter. However, I know without a doubt Alice is not an actual option since she is happy with Jasper and he doesn't seem like the type to share. Rosalie on the other hand, I have left our relationship as sisters though my mind does go in the gutter more often than not when around her. "

Tanya sighed, "Though that doesn't exactly make me any happier, thank you for being honest about your feelings. It seems my sisters and I will have to discuss some things. Will you give us some space until we are ready to talk to you?"

That brought a frown to my face and made me kind of disappointed. This isn't something I can control and I had hoped they would be okay with it. I mean we were already a polyamorous relationship. It's not as if I would love them any less if there were to be another mate. I quickly wiped the frown from my face. I nodded and headed towards the door. Maybe I was not clear enough.

"Yes, of course I can do that. I love all three of you with my heart and soul. If there are to be other mates I just want you to know that my love for you three will never diminish, so please do not fear of that."

With that I left their room and headed down stairs. I absentmindedly made my way through their house and out the door. I got on my motorcycle and made my way home.

Author's After Note:

So, yeah a bit of a wrench thrown in there. Next chapter is gonna be a time skip and Bella is gonna be introduced. Now the story can finally get a rolling.
