"Let's go talk in my office," Carlisle said and led Rosalie and Esme upstairs.
Rosalie rolled her eyes and followed Carlisle and Esme upstairs. Carlisle opened the door to his office and ushered Rosalie and Esme inside. Carlisle sat behind his desk, and Esme sat on the edge of his desk, Rosalie stood there with her arms crossed, "What did you want to talk about, Carlisle?"
"I think you know, Rose."
Rosalie rolled her eyes, "So, Jasper and Edward ratted me out."
"They felt I had a right to know, especially when you're putting this family at risk."
"Me! I'm not the one who's shacking up with a dog!" Rosalie shouted.
"Rosalie, Selene is Emmett's, true mate. You're going to have to accept that," Esme said.
"Never, he's my husband!"
"But Emmett doesn't love you, dear."
Rosalie smirked, "I can change that."
"Rose, whatever you're planning, it needs to stop. Especially if it's against Selene."
"Why should I?"
"Because you're going to start a war with the wolves."
"Why? We haven't broken the treaty."
Carlisle pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration, "Rosalie, attacking one of their own is considered a violation of the treaty. Sam made it perfectly clear; He'll expose us and then go to war with us."
Rosalie smirked, "We can handle the mutts."
"That isn't the point! I don't want the treaty violated, Rosalie. I don't want anything to happen to Emmett's mate. And if you can't accept that you're no longer going to be with Emmett and insist on causing trouble, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave."
"You would do that to me? Throw me out for some mutt?"
"No, ask you to leave for the sake of the family. And Selene is now part of this family, Rose," Carlisle said.
"But I didn't do anything; I only wanted to scare the bitch."
"That's not what Edward said, You were planning on hurting her," Esme said.
At that moment, Carlisle's door was thrown open, and Emmett was standing there with a look of pure rage on his face. Rosalie's eyes widen at the look on Emmett's face, and she took a step back, "Emmett."
"You fucking Bitch!" Emmett roared and rushed Rosalie.
Before she knew it, Emmett had Rosalie pinned against the wall by her throat, her feet dangling off the floor, "What the fuck did you do to my mate?!"
Rosalie smirked, "Wouldn't you like to know?"
Emmett started squeezing, "If you hurt my mate, I'll kill you, you bitch."
Esme put her hand on Emmett's arm, "Nothing happened, Emmett, Edward, and Jasper stopped her. And Sam and the pack were there too."
Emmett growled, "So you were going to attack my mate. Have you lost your mind, Rosalie?"
"No, I want my mate back."
"I'M NOT YOUR MATE!" Emmett yelled, "Get that through your vapid head. There's nothing between us anymore, and there never will be!" Emmett said and started squeezing even harder until Rosalie's marble skin started cracking.
"Emmett, please stop," Carlisle said.
"Only if you throw this bitch out. If not, I'm ending her now."
Carlisle looked between Emmett and Rosalie. He could see that Emmett was deadly serious. He couldn't have Rosalie's death on his hands. Carlisle sighed, "Rose, I think it would be best that you leave."
"What?!"
"It would be safer for you if you left and went to live with the Denali clan for a while. At least until things calm down."
Rosalie hissed at Emmett, only causing him to snarl at her, "Fine, if this idiot would let go of me, I'll go."
"Let Rosalie go, son."
Emmett looked at Carlisle then dropped Rosalie. He turned and walked out of Carlisle's office without another glance back. Rosalie held her throat and glared at Carlisle and Esme. She walked out of the office and went to her room to pack. Once she packed, Rosalie went to the garage, go into her car, and peeled out.
Esme and Carlisle watched Rosalie leave from the window, Esme sobbed, and Carlisle put his arm around his wife, "This is for the best, honey. Some time away will give Rosalie time to accept that things are over between her and Emmett."
"I suppose you're right, Sweetheart."
"Why don't we go hunting? It'll get your mind off of things."
"Alright, Carlisle."
While that was going on, Emmett rushed his room to call Selene and make sure she was alright. He dialed her number and waited for Selene to answer the phone. To his surprise, it was Leah who answered.
"Hey, Emmett."
"Leah?"
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Um, is Selene there?"
"She went out to First Beach to take a walk; she wanted to be alone for a while."
"Is Selene okay?"
"Oh, I take it you heard, then?"
"Yeah, I just found a little while ago, and I wanted to check on her."
"Oh, yeah, she's fine, Emmett. You don't have to worry."
"I can't help it, Leah."
"I know you can't, Emmett, but I promise, she's fine. If you want, I'll have Selene call you when she comes back."
"Yeah, if you could do that, I'd appreciate that."
"No problem, Em."
"Thanks, Leah."
With that, Leah hung up. What Leah didn't tell Emmett is that Selene could hear a pod of Orca passing through, and they were asking the daughter of Poseidon to come to play, and Selene couldn't pass up this opportunity to play with the whales.
So, Selene asked Leah to watch her phone and answer if Emmett called, and then she headed towards the cliffs. When she got there Selene could hear the pod calling her, *Princess, come play!*
Selene laughed and dove off the cliff. She hit the water and felt a sense of peace come over her. Selene laughed as she was circled by the pod who were whining and clicking towards her, though Selene could understand them perfectly.
*Greetings, Daughter of Poseidon.*
*Greetings my friends.*
*It is good to see you again.*
*It is good to see you as well. But enough with the formalities, let's play!*
Selene took off like a bullet with the Orca happily chasing after her. She spent the entire afternoon playing tag with them and riding on their backs. As the sun began to set, Selene said her goodbyes and headed back to shore. When Selene got out of the water, her clothes were dry, and she headed for the house before she met up with Jared.
"Hey, Free Willy."
"Hey, Rin Tin Tin."
"Emmett called."
"Yeah, I thought he would. Did he sound worried?"
"Of course he did. But I told him you were fine."
"Good, let me call him before I head to Emily's house."
Selene went upstairs and called Emmett. He answered on the first ring, "Selene, are you okay? Did that bitch hurt you?"
Selene chuckled, "I'm fine, Emmett, that psycho bitch never got near me. Even if she did, she would have been in a world of hurt."
"Yeah, I heard that Sam and some of the pack were there."
"Yeah, but I wouldn't have needed the help. I could've taken care of Blondie myself."
Emmett chuckled, "That's my girl."
"Oh, so I'm your girl now?"
"Of course you are, whether you want to admit it or not. You know I'm growing on you, Selene."
"Yeah, like slow-growing mold."
Emmett laughed, "So, are we still on for tomorrow?"
"Yep, what time do you want to pick me up?"
"Early, I'd like to spend as much time with you as I can before you go on patrol."
"That's fine."
"Great, then I'll pick you up for breakfast."
"Okay. Hey, I have to go, it's time for my patrol."
"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow, Sel. Have a good night."
"Thanks, Em."
When Selene hung up, she ran over into the forest and phased. Selene shook out her white fur and ran to Emily's house. When she arrived, Selene changed back, fully clothed, Selene walked towards Emily's door and knocked, Emily, answered and sighed.
"How many times do I have to tell you just to come in."
"One more time, at least."
Emily giggled and hugged Selene, "Sam told me what happened, are you okay?"
"Never better. Don't worry about me, Em, worry about that crazy bitch," Selene said with a smirk.
"Yeah, that pyscho doesn't stand a chance against the pack," Jared said as he came into the house, followed by the rest of the pack.
Jared hugged Selene, and Emily then sat down at the table. Selene rolled her eyes and started helping Emily dish out the food for the boys, but she didn't go anywhere near Paul. After everyone was served, Selene served Emily and herself, then sat down next to Jared, and they had their dinner.
As they ate, Sam began assigning everyone their partners and territories to the pack. He made sure to assign Selene and Jared as far as he could from Jacob and Paul as possible, just in case. After dinner, the pack headed out. Jared phased, and Selene headed into the forest to change. Once she was in her wolf form, Selene came out of the woods, and she and Jared headed out.
The minute Selene shifted, she could hear Paul complaining, *That bitch is going to start a war with the Cullen, just because she's wet for that fucking leach.*
*Give it a rest, Paul, Selene can't help that she imprinted on Emmett.* Quil said.
*Yeah, well, if it were me, I wouldn't have let it happen,* Paul said.
*When it happens to you, you'll see how hard it is to resist.* Jared said.
*Yeah, right.*
*You know what, fucker, why don't you say that to my face,* Selene said.
*Gladly, whore.* Paul growled.
*You know what your problem is, Paul, You're nothing but a petulant child pretending to be a man. And you're pissed off because you think someone took your toy away. Well, I have news for you. I have never been, nor will I ever be your toy. I need a real man.*
*And you think that walking corpse is better than me?*
*Without question.*
Paul snarled in anger, *Alright, that's enough. Pay attention to your territory. We still have a red-hair leach to hunt.* Sam said.
*Right, Sam.* The pack said in unison.
So for the rest of the night, the pack was silent and kept their guard up looking for Victoria.
