SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE, BUT DAMN DOCS HAVE ME IN AND OUT OF TEST.
OH WELL, HERE IS THE NEXT CHAP.
Sam threw Paul against a tree, just in front of the pack house. Jared stood behind, to stop the others from intervening.
"What that hell were you thinking!?" Sam growled. "Do you have any idea what you have caused!? Not only did you attack a senior vampire's mate, but you might have killed her!"
"I didn't kill her!" Paul retorted. "My bite will take and she will be mine."
"You have lost it Paul!" Sam yelled. "If that wolf doesn't make it, Carlisle and his entire clan will come after you. I will not be able to protect you Paul! You will be on your own!"
Paul growled. "So be it! I have been on my own since day one! I found my mate I imprinted and I have now claimed her!"
"You killed her!" Jared jumped in. "You forced your bite onto her Paul! That is the same as if you had raped her! Carlisle will not stay compassionate towards this, regardless if she lives or dies. Either way you best pray she lives."
"Of course, she will. She will accept my bite and all of this will be in the past." Paul smirked.
"That's what you think." All eyes turned, towards to the woods. Jacob and his pack appeared. "Carlisle will not accept his mate to be harmed. He will seek revenge and if he doesn't the others will."
"Fuck off Jacob!" Paul growled.
Jacob snarled. "Don't tempt me Paul! I am so close to ripping your throat out!"
"Do it you mutt!" Paul instigated.
Jacob took a stepped forward, but stopped. Turning to side to side he focused on his hearing. Birds, water, deer, cars, screaming, yelling, commotions. Sharing a looking with his pack, he took off in the directions to the house. His pack rushing behind him, both realizing Sam and his pack behind.
Jacob rushed through the woods, he was trying to focus on Alex, but all he got was yelling. Breaking free from the woods, he came clear in front of the Cullen's home. Bursting through the door he rushed up the stairs following the commotions. What he saw shocked him. Bella, Rose, and Alice stood by the window, unshed tears filling their eyes. Jasper and Emmet stood beside them with looks of fear. Carlisle and Edward rushed from corner to corner. Gathering equipment and talking over each other. Carlisle was shaking, Jacob didn't know if it was from fear or anger. Speaking of Alex he shifted his eyes to the wolf on the bed. She wasn't moving and he couldn't hear her heart. Walking in he was stopped by Bella.
"Don't, Carlisle wouldn't hesitate to hurt you." She whispered. The man was hovering over her. He hissed every time someone got close, but didn't lash out. Of course he was losing the little patience he had, as Alex would not take her breath.
Carlisle was hopeless. He felt useless and broken, he couldn't save her. The bite wouldn't take, not with her wolf blood. Then he paused. Maybe just maybe. Pushing Edward back he leaned forward and latched onto her neck.
"Carlisle what are you doing?!" Edward ran to push him off, but was instead knocked into the wall.
Alice was freaking out. "Carlisle you'll kill her!"
Jacob couldn't break loose from Bella's grip. "What is he doing?"
"I don't know."
Feeling the blood sweep into his mouth he savored it. It was sweet and spicy. Like nectar to a hummingbird. He had to force himself from her, but once he did Carlisle bit into his wrist. With the little blood he produced, he placed it against her mouth and allowed it to drip inside. He smiled softly at the swallowing noise he heard. Alex pushed his hand away and gasped for air, but gave no other indication she was awake. The senior vampire stepped back and waited for what he hoped will and this.
The others watched for what seemed hours. Then it happened. The wound stopped bleeding. The smoke was gone and her neck began to heal. Alex was quickly to stop all moans and gasps. She simply laid on the bad asleep. Carlisle slowly walked towards her and checked to make sure the bite was gone. "Alex?" All he got in return was even breaths.
"How did you do that?" Jacob asked.
Carlisle shrugged. "She simply needed something else to help her choose. My blood is now mixed her hers. It runs through her veins. It's an old ritual called blood mating. Nothing can break it. I wasn't sure if it would work on her. It has only ever been used on other vampires or humans."
"Vampires?" Seth asked. He and Leah arrived just in time to see the events.
"Contrary to what you have read and seen on movies we do not feed on each other. If it ever happens, they are just creating a bigger and stronger bond with each other. Of course they have to feed in order to have blood in their systems. For humans it is much easier. We feed a little from them; just enough to have them drink." Carlisle explained, yet his eyes never left Alex.
Jasper stepped forward. "I thought that ritual was prohibited?"
"It was-is. It is prohibited."
"Why?" Seth asked.
Carlisle sighed. "Once it was discovered how powerful the blood mating was, it became a danger. Many vampires created a helm of woman. Woman devoted to him and his personal blood bank. Other used it to steal another man's mate. Woman used as well, most with man of money and high class. The Volturi ignored it until our kind was beginning to be careless of our security. It was then that they banned the use of blood magic. Any found using was killed."
Leah glanced at him. "But you just-"
"They have no way of finding out Leah. Not unless they are told." Carlisle explained. Looking up for the first time, he sighed. "Thank you. All of you, I don't know how I would have handle all of this without you."
Jacob grinned. "Don't worry about it Carlisle."
"Yeah you guys are part of this pack!" Seth yelped. "Right Jake?"
Jacob glanced at each vampire in the room. "Yeah, yeah they are."
Carlisle held his hand out to Jacob. "Consider yourself and you pack a part of our family." Jacob gave him a sad smile.
"Car-ca-" Alex mumbled.
The entire coven gathered around the table waiting for her to awaken. Carlisle stood at her right, taken her hand in his he brushed her hair away from her face. "Alex?...Come on wake up."
Alex stirred shivering at coldness in the room. Feeling something caress her face, she forced her eyes open. The brightness off the room blinded her, causing her to wince. Then a shadow blocked the light from her eyes. Focusing on the shadow, she grinned at seeing her mate. "Carlisle?"
"Hello love." Caressing her cheek, he exhaled placing his forehead on hers. "You had me so worry Alex. I thought I had lost you."
Alex cupped his jaw, staring into his honey/forest eyes. "Im okay now thank you."
Carlisle frowned. "What for?"
"I felt it. The bite, your blood. Everything. I don't know how, I just knew it was you." Alex whispered.
Carlisle leaned forward, pressing his lips to hers. The kiss was slow and meaningful. Carlisle was assuring himself she was really there. With him and alive. "I'm sorry Alex, I should have been with you."
"Don't you dare and blame yourself for this. We didn't know Paul would dare and try something like that." Alex growled, glancing at the wolves she took a whiff. "Where is that son of a bitch?!" Jumping to her feet, she swayed. "Whoa!"
"Did that just happened?" Emmett whispered.
Rose nodded numbly. "How is that possible?"
Alex frowned. "What?"
"You moved fast." Edward said.
"I'm a werewolf, we have speed." Alex was worried, they all stood with open mouths. The smell of worry and shocked invaded her nose. "What?!"
Carlisle walked closer to her, taking her hands in his. With an annoyance he stepped back. "Jacob?"
"Yeah?"
"Grab her hands." Jacob gave him a confused look. "I-I can't sense her temperature."
With a knowing look, he grabbed her hands. "She's cooler than she's supposed to be."
"I'm what?"
"Your cold for a werewolf Alex." Jacob repeated.
"What?" Alex shook her head. "Look I am tired and feeling dizzy. Can we talk about this later?" Alex didn't want to think or even hear the possibility of something being wrong. Carlisle did what he did to save her. The last thing he needed was feel guilty for something. Glancing at Edward she quickly changed her thought to that of sam.
"She is with Charlie and Renesme." Edward replied.
Bella placed a hand on her shoulder. "We didn't want her to see you like that."
"Thank you." Alex hugged herself and walked out of the room. She walked slowly to her and Carlisle's room. Falling on the bed, she listened in on the others.
*What is going on?*
*I don't know, but I have a feeling.*
*What?*
*I can't say now. Not without proof.* Hearing the chair squeal, Alex knew he had stood up. *Go and hunt. Neither of you have eaten, also can one of you please pick up sam.?*
*We will pick her up, might as well pick up Renesme as well*
*Thank you Bella. Now if you will excuse me I will go and see how Alex is doing.*
Alex closed her eyes pretending to fall asleep. Using her ears, to listen to him walk around. He walked into the closet and back out a few moments later. Hearing him walk closer to the bed, he seemed to have been removing some of his clothes. Later he lay on bed, but didn't go anywhere near him. Alex stayed put, not knowing what he was up too.
"You know I can hear you breathing right?" Carlisle whispered, chuckling at the jump she gave. "Alex?"
"Yeah?"
"Come here." He held his arm up, waiting for her to lean onto him. "Please."
Alex sighed, but snuggled up to him. Her right arm draped across his naked stomach. His abs really popped out against his pale skin. She frowned at how dry her mouth felt. It seemed almost as if she had swallowed a handful of sand. Carlisle wrapped his hand around her shoulder and ran his hand through her hair.
"Carlisle?"
"Yes love?"
"What did you do?" she asked.
Carlisle paused for a moment. "I use blood mating. Do you know what that is?"
"Yeah. My father used it on my mother after another mate tried to take her." Alex explained.
Carlisle turned on his side and faced her. "Alex what I did has never been done."
"Blood mating?"
"No not like that. What I mean is a vampire and a werewolf blood mating." Carlisle confessed.
Alex leaned up on her elbow. "What does that mean for me? For us? What are the side effects?"
"I am not sure love. As for you and me, we are still us. I love you and I will never let you go. Paul can try whatever the hell he wants; he will never touch you again." Carlisle hissed. "You are mine and mine only."
Alex smiled softly. "I love you." As Alex laid back down on him, she looked around. "Carlisle?"
"Yea?"
"I thought you guys didn't sleep?"
"We don't."
"Then why the bed?"
Carlisle coughed although the man didn't need to. "It is not meant for sleeping." Alex glanced up at him with a confused look. "Uhhh…"
"Oh!" Her eyes went wide and her cheeks went red. "That's, that's good to know." Quiet for a moment, she giggled.
"What?"
"You should have seen your face! Where is a camera when needed." Alex laughed.
"Settle down and get some rest." Carlisle mumbled.
Alex glanced up at him, her eyes searching him. He was a very handsome, but it was not his looks that attracted her. No it was his way of being, his smarts and his kindness. Carlisle had done the impossible to save her. Regardless on the danger he could have gotten in he did it. Carlisle although not able to sleep, had his eyes closed and simply laid there. Alex felt something different, something stronger and something hot. Running her hand over his chest, the sensations simply got hotter. Looking back up she was met with Carlisle's eyes. Leaning up she gently brushed her lips against his, lingering. Carlisle cupped her jaw Deeping the kiss and adding a satisfying pressure. Carlisle grabbed her by the hips and had her straddle him.
Pulling back he brushed her hair away from her face, looking in to her eyes with the love only he can show her. "Are you sure you want to continue this?"
Alex crashed her lips onto his, earning herself a groan. "Yes."
It was just there luck Sam ran into their room with a loud scream. "Mom!"
Alex gave Carlisle a sorry smile, before catching her daughter. "Hello baby."
"Are you better?" Sam whispered.
"Yeah all better." Alex always knew Sam was smart. Although she didn't speak a lot, she took everything around her. She knew what was happening, so it was no surprise she knew about her. "Where did you go?"
"To Bella's dad's house." She mumbled. "Can I go back tomorrow?"
"For what?"
Sam glanced at Carlisle, who was lying on his back, but faced her. "It's a secret."
Alex chuckled. "Who is going with you?"
"Everyone!" She giggled.
Alex hummed in thought. "What do you think Carlisle?"
Carlisle shrugged. "Why not? Let her have some fun."
"Alright baby, but I want you on your best behavior." Alex ordered. "And no shifting unless they say it is okay or you must."
"Promise mommy." Jumping off her lap, she ran to the door and shouted. "I can go!"
"Awesome!" Alice yelled back.
Sam walked back into the room and gave them a sheepish look. "Mommy?"
"Yes?"
"Can I sleep here tonight?"
Alex glanced back at Carlisle. "Carlisle?"
"Of course." He was a bit disappointed in having to put a pause on their activities, but it was impossible to say no to the pup. "Jump on." Sam wasted no time in climbing under the covers and falling asleep. Carlisle climbs off and removed his shirt, before climbing back in.
Alex watched as he allowed her daughter to snuggle up on his chest. "I know you don't sleep and probably have work to do, you can."
The man chuckled. "I much rather watch and care over you as you sleep. Beats having to do the extra paperwork." Pulling her into his free side, he kissed her softly. "I will gladly take any chance to have you in my arms."
Alex smiled against his lips. "You and me both." Pulling back she gave him on last peck, before jumping off the bed. "I'm going to take a shower."
"Alright."
As she turned the water on and undressed, Alex glanced at the mirror only to do a double take. "What the hell?" Her eyes were no longer violet, but a reddish color. Her skin was a bit lighter than before. Opening her mouth, Alex allowed her teeth to enlarge. Only to gasp at how sharper and longer they were. "This is not normal?" Shaking her head, she quickly took a shower and changed. As she walked out again, Carlisle was still in bed. "I'm going downstairs for something to drink."
"Okay."
Running down stairs, she was glad no one was around. Grabbing a cup and filling it with water. She drank it. Only to throw it up a few seconds later. Gagging for breath, Alex fell to the ground in pain. Within seconds Carlisle was by her side, trying to figure out what was happening. Alex yelled from the fire running through her body. This was ten times worse than the bite. With horror she felt her bones readjust, it only meant one thing. She was shifting against her will. Only something was off, he body was getting bigger. As the transformation was complete, Alex laid on her side panting. Glancing up, she met eyes with the entire Cullen's family.
"Carlisle what is going on?" Alice asked.
"She's-what?" Emmet stuttered.
Alex slowly lay on her belly, with a small whimper. Looking down at her paws, she yelped. Her claws where long and sharp, almost like that of a falcons. Looking at her back legs, she noted the same. Closing her jaw, she frowned. Something was bugging her. Looking towards the stainless steel of the trashcan, she once more gasped. Her teeth-specifically her canine teeth-were huge. The top two were long, when she shut her mouth they stuck out. Her eyes were the ones that shocked her the most. One was violet and the other was a golden/amber color.
'What am I?' She asked.
"A hybrid."
