ENJOY!

Carlisle sat beside Alex he had extracted the bullet, halfway thru the process she had shifted giving him a full and clear view of her. It took his entire will not to touch her, to feel the warmth and heat coming off her smooth skin. He had pulled a blanket over her keeping the temptation at bay. His eyes took her in for the hundredth time. She was tall, curved just the way he liked, with sensual full breast and hips that would let a guy hold on tight for a wild ride. Pretty face, straight nose tilted just a bit on the end-in a really cute way, light spray of freckles across her high cheek-bones. Sexy red lips. A thick mane of dark, dark brown hair that curled around her face. Carlisle groaned as his cock began to swell in his pants shifted himself he stood up needing to get away before he did something he would regret. Walking out he jogged down the stairs hissing at the sudden pain in his chest 'what the hell?!' each step he took further from the room it got worse 'it's not possible. I'm not supposed to feel pain.' falling on the step he closed his eyes trying to calm the ache, but it only seemed to get worse. Opening his eyes his 'children' appeared in front of him with worried looks.

"Carlisle! Are you alright?" Alice asked checking him over.

"What's hurting?" Edward asked helping him up.

Carlisle groaned. "My-my chest, it feels like its burning."

"Come let's take him to the couch." Bella said as both Edward and Emmet grabbed either side of their father. As they took another step Carlisle growled sounding more animal than human. "Put him down!"

The guys sat him down, Emmet hissed hating the fact that they don't seem to be able to help him.

"Carlisle what were you doing before the pain started?" jasper asked if what Alice said was true then he had an idea of what the problem was.

"I-I was checking on Alexandra, the moment I walked out the pain started and it's only getting worse." Carlisle hissed as another wave hit him.

"Emmet, Edward grab him we need to take him back into the lab." Jasper ordered. The boys did as told dragging the man back into the room. You can say all you want, but Carlisle weight much more than Emmet when asked about it he said it had something to do with age. Carlisle dropped in the chair he had just vacant with relief as the pain left just as quick as it appeared. Looking over at the sleeping girl he was confused at the look of pain in her face slowly relaxing 'did she feel it too?'

"Yes she did." Edward said softly, they were going to allow him to discover it on his own. They knew it wouldn't take too long the moment they locked eyes they would have figured it out.

"What-how?" Carlisle stood walking over to her shivering at the electrifying warmth that ran up his arm the moment he touched her.

"Carlisle we were going to wait until you figured it out, but after what happen I don't think that would be wise." Rose said

"Figure what out? What are you talking about?" he demanded turning to them yet never removing his hand from hers.

"Think about it your sudden attraction to her, the fact that you become aroused just by looking at her, you can't take your hands of her nor can you be away from her, and the sudden pain you felt being away from her. What does that usually add up to?" Alice said.

Carlisle glanced back at the she-wolf with a widen eyes 'can it be? Can she really be my mate? How is that possible?'

"We don't know, all we know is, she is your mate." Edward said with a huge grin.

Carlisle stood still for a moment before letting a smile grace his lips. "My mate, I finally have my mate." Then worried kicked in. "oh god what-what if she doesn't accept me? What if she doesn't want a mate?"

Bella chuckled. "Carlisle relax, granted she will be a little shock at having a vampire as a mate, but that doesn't mean she will reject you. It will take some time for her and her daughter to get used to the idea, but remember that she already loves you."

"Thank you Bella your words are always helpful." Carlisle said his voice returning to its gentle and reassuring tone. Before anyone could say anything a low groan slipped from Alex's lips indicating she was waking up.

Alex groaned lifting her hand to her side she was surprised to find the wound bandaged. Taking a deep breath she choked at the most wonderful smell she has ever caught a mixture of wet grass and earth it was calming and arousing at the same time. Wanting to see where it was coming from she slowly opened her eyes immediately locking with golden-honey ones they were gentle and loving yet intense and soul searching. She was drawn to them something telling her not to look away, tilting her head to the side she gasped at the sudden fire rising into her intensifying the longer she stared into his eyes. She knew what that meant, this was her mate the man destines to love and protect her just as hard as she was too. Giving him a small smile she moved to sit up, her mate holding out his hand to help one she took immediately only to gasp at how cold they were. Snapping her attention up at him then looking over his shoulder she saw the four from earlier the cold reality flooding over her 'my mate is a vampire!' jumping of the table she ran to the corner desperately trying to get away from them. Flinching at the pain in her mates eyes 'no, no I don't want to hurt you'.

Edward took a step forward. "Hey Alex remember me? I was with Jacob when he brought you to the house." Alex nodded accidently letting out a whimper as he stepped closer, this un fortunally earned a growl from Carlisle warning Edward to back off.

"Edward be careful, Carlisle will not hesitate to attack if he believes she is in danger." Jasper hissed noticing his 'fathers' eyes getting darker by the second.

"I know jasper, but if she doesn't calm down neither will he." Edward whispered turning his attention back to the she-wolf. "We won't hurt you; Carlisle took care of the bullet."

Alex looked down at her side a warm feeling tingled inside her knowing it was her mate that healed her. At the thought of her mate she looked at him, he was stiff with his hands clenched at his side she felt the sadness waving of him 'did I cause that?'

"No you didn't, he was just surprised at the way you jumped away." Edward answered getting a confused look making him chuckle. "I have the ability to read people's minds."

'He's my mate?' Alex thought her eyes stayed on Carlisle.

"Yes he is, I know this is all so overwhelming but believe us when we tell you he won't hurt you and neither will us." Edward said.

'I-I believe you. I don't know why but I do.' Alex thought releasing a shaky breath.

"That's good; we will leave to give you two some time to talk and a chance to calm down." Edward stood up slowly not wanting to make a wrong move before ushering the others out.

"Wait where is my daughter?!" Alex exclaimed flinching at the pain in her throat.

"She's with my daughter playing. We will send her down once you two are ready." Bella said flashing a smile as the door closed leaving only her and Carlisle.
