"Maybe next time, when you have a change of clothes," Emmett said.
Selene looked down at herself, right, if she went diving with Emmett, she'd have to allow herself to get wet. Selene had almost forgotten that. She looked up at Emmett and blushed, "Yeah, I guess that would be a good idea."
"But that doesn't mean that we can't sit here and admire the view and talk," Emmett said.
Selene agreed and sat down on the edge of the cliff. Emmett sat behind her and wrapped his arms around her. They sat in silence for a while looking out over the ocean, until finally, Emmett asked Selene a question, "Sel, Why was Paul so angry that I'm with you? I thought Sam had talked to the pack."
"Paul's an asshole and delusional. Leah told me that he has feelings for me, so he's taking it badly that I imprinted on you, especially since you're a vampire."
Selene felt Emmett stiffen behind her. The first thing to cross his mind was if Selene and he were going to have the same problems with Paul that Bella and Edward were having with Jacob. He wasn't about to put up with a love triangle between him, Selene, and Paul.
Selene took Emmett's hand, "You don't have to worry, Emmett, nothing is going to happen between Paul and me. I think the thought of Paul having feelings for me is stupid considering that when we were little, he used to call me a fatherless half-breed. He only wants what he can't have."
"You think so?"
"I'd bet anything on it."
Soon Selene and Emmett forgot all about Paul and continued to talk and get to know each other. While they spoke, Selene would play with Emmett's fingers, and he placed his chin on Selene's shoulder. After a while, they noticed the time and decided to call it a day. They walked back down to Selene's house, where she had parked her Land Rover and drove Emmett home. When they got there, Emmett invited Selene inside, but she noticed that Bella and Edward were back.
"No, thank you, I think I'll pass."
Emmett's brow furrowed, "Is something wrong, Sel?"
"No, I think it's a little late, and I'd like to get back home and check on Seth."
Emmett nodded, "Oh, okay. Do you think I can see you tomorrow? I want to take you out on a proper date."
"Tomorrow's Sunday; I don't see why not, I only need to check with Sam to see if he needs me to go on patrol and at what time. I'll call you later with the details."
Emmett smiled, "Okay."
Emmett leaned towards Selene and gave her a sweet kiss. He pulled away and smiled, "Goodnight, Selene."
"Goodnight, Emmett."
With that, Emmett got out of the Range Rover and walked towards the house. He turned around and waved as Selene drove off. Right when he was about to walk into the house, Jasper met him outside. Jasper smiled at his brother, "Did you have a nice time," Jasper asked.
Emmett smiles, "Yeah, I did. Selene's great, we had a lot of fun."
"Good, hold on to that good mood because Rosalie is back."
Emmett started frowning, but then he smiled again, "You know what, I don't care if she's home. I'm not going to let her ruin my good mood."
"Good for you, Em, I only wanted to give you a heads up."
"Thanks, Jazz."
Emmett walks into the house and goes into the living room where Rosalie is sitting on the couch, painting her nails, and reading a magazine. Emmett walks right past her and says hello to the rest of his family. He goes up to Esme and gives her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"How was your day, Honey?"
"It was perfect, Esme. Selene and I had a wonderful day in La Push."
"I thought you weren't allowed in La Push," Bella asked.
"I'm allowed because I'm Selene's imprint, and the Elders ruled that we can't be kept apart. So I'm to have the same rights as any other imprint."
Rosalie scoffed from her seat, "So, what did you do with your bitch Emmett, play fetch?"
"Rosalie!" Esme admonished.
But Emmett ignored Rosalie's snide comment. He went ahead and explained to Esme and the others what he and Selene did in La Push, about going whale watching and going to the tide pools. Getting to hold a starfish, and it wasn't afraid of him. Emmett also told them what happened to Seth and that he officially got to meet the pack. He left out what happened with Paul.
"I'm glad you had a good time with Selene, son. When are you going to see her again,"
"Hopefully, tomorrow. Selene is going to ask Sam when she has to go on patrol, and then she'll call me and let me know."
The whole time that Emmett is telling the family how his day went, Rosalie is sitting on the couch seething. The more Emmett talked about Selene, the more Rosalie's hatred for the wolf bitch grew. Eventually, Rosalie stormed out of the house to go hunt and take out her resentment on her prey. No one paid any attention to her exit except for Jasper and Edward, who looked at each other concerned.
After Emmett told his family how much fun he had with Selene, he went downstairs to his room to play games and wait for Selene to call him. Meanwhile, Selene was happily listening to the radio when suddenly she slammed on the brakes. Standing in the middle of the road right before the treaty line was the blonde Bitch, Rosalie.
Selene rolled her eyes and honked the horn, "You're in the way," Selene said calmly. But Rosalie refused to move.
Selene sighed and got out of the SUV, "Is there a problem?"
Rosalie growled at Selene and looked her up and down. She had to admit that Selene was more beautiful than she was, especially Selene's piercing green eyes. The fact that there was someone that looked better than Rosalie angered her even more. She took a menacing step towards Selene; to her surprise, Selene gave her a bored look.
"I only wanted to see the bitch that stole my husband."
Selene crossed her arms and laughed, "You think I stole Emmett from you? First of all, you can't steal someone; they're not objects. Second, Emmett already had one foot out the door before we met. All he needed was a little push, and I can't help that Emmett has," Selene looked Rosalie up and down, "Better taste."
"Let's see how much he likes you when you've been turned into a pile of dog food," Rosalie said.
Selene got into a defensive position, "Bring it, you psycho, bitch."
Just as Rosalie was about to lunge at Selene, she heard several growls behind her. A big black wolf stepped out of the trees along with three other wolves. At that moment, Edward and Jasper appeared next to Rosalie and took hold of her arms.
"Rose, don't if you attack Selene, Sam said you would void the treaty, and he won't hesitate to tear you apart. You'll start a war," Edward said.
To make his point, Sam and the other wolves took a step closer to Rosalie simultaneously. Jasper used his powers to calm the situation as much as he could, but he noticed that Selene was calmly standing there but in a battle-ready stance.
Rosalie finally came out of her haze of anger and looked around; she hadn't realized how much danger she had put herself in until she saw how close the wolves were to her, Edward, and Jasper. Rosalie shook off her brother's hands and glared at Selene, "This isn't over, you wolf bitch."
"Count on it, monster," Selene said as she tracked Rosalie with her eyes as she disappeared into the woods.
Edward and Jasper walked towards Selene, "Are you okay, Selene?"
"Never better, Edward. It's been a while since I've been challenged like that."
Jasper's brow furrowed, "What do you mean by that?"
"Don't worry about it."
Edward turned towards Sam and nodded, "What did Sam say?" Jasper asked.
"He said to keep Rosalie in check. If we can't keep you safe and Rosalie hurts you, all bets are off."
Selene grinned, "Don't worry, Sammy, that Blonde Bitch won't get the drop on me. She'll regret it if she does."
Sam stared at Selene for a moment, then nodded. He and the other wolves faded back into the woods and left. Selene turned to Edward and Jasper, "How did you know that Bimbo was going to do that?"
"We followed her. Rose said she was going hunting, but Edward read her thoughts, but that's not exactly what she had in mind," Jasper said.
"Well, I appreciate your help. Do me a favor, and don't tell Emmett. I don't need this to cause problems with your coven."
Edward and Jasper looked at each other, surprised. "We have to tell Carlisle at least. Rosalie can't get away with what she did."
"Fine, but make sure that Emmett doesn't hear," Selene said.
"Okay, Darlin', we can do that," Jasper said.
"I'm sorry this happened, Selene," Edward said.
Selene shrugged, "No blood, no foul. Listen, I have to go, I'm sure you know that Seth shifted and I'd like to check on him."
"Oh, of course, we'll see you later, then," Edward asked.
"Of course," Selene said with a smile, "I don't scare that easily," She said with a laugh.
With that, Selen got back in her Range Rover and left. Jasper and Edward waited until she was across the treaty line to go, "I like her," Jasper said.
"Yeah, I think she'll be good for Emmett," Edward said.
"Me too."
With that, the two vampires left for their house. They had to tell Carlisle what Rosalie had done. If she was going to put them in danger, something had to be done about her.
