Selene blushed even harder when she heard Emmett chuckle, "It's about time you remembered. How are you feeling?"
Selene carefully moved, and then she stretched. She felt a little sore but nothing too bad considering they made love more than once, "I feel a little sore, nothing too bad," Selene said as she looked up at Emmett.
Emmett ran his finger up and down Selene's back, "I'm glad to hear that. I thought maybe I was a bit too rough with you."
"Emmett, I'm not as delicate as most mortals, I am a demigod after all."
"Right, I'll have to keep that in mind."
"Good, you do that, because I'd like to go again if you're up to it," Selene said with a smirk.
Emmett growled and pinned Selene under him, "I'm always up for it, Baby." Selene giggled and kissed Emmett. The kiss became more heated, and Selene and Emmett once again made love.
The next time Selene woke up, it was to Emmett coming into their room with breakfast. She smiled at him and sat up, making sure that the sheet covered her breast. Emmett smiled at his mate, "Breakfast time, Babe."
"Thank you, Teddy, but you didn't have to bring me breakfast in bed."
"I know, but I wanted to. I brought you some French toast with eggs and bacon and some coffee and orange juice," Emmett said then set the tray down on Selene's lap. He then took off his sweat pants.
Selene blushed at seeing Emmett naked, making Emmett smirk, "You're going to have to get used to seeing me naked, Sel. I plan to be naked in front of you more often than not."
"Oh, really?"
"Yep," Emmett said then climbed into bed with Selene. Emmett scoot closer to Selene then took the tray from her, "I thought that was my breakfast?"
"It is, but I'm going to feed you," Emmett said with a grin.
He started cutting up the French toast and feeding it to his mate. Selene happily ate the food that Emmett offered her. Once Selene had finished her breakfast, Emmett put the tray on the nightstand and picked up Selene and took her to the bathroom so that they could shower together.
Selene sighed in the shower as Emmett shampooed her hair and massaged her scalp. Selene rinsed her hair while Emmett washed and rubbed her back, taking out all the knots she had in her back. Selene moaned, feeling all the tension melt away. Emmett's hands began to wander toward's Selene's front. He caressed her breasts and pinched her nipples, causing her to moan and lean into his touch. Emmett kissed and sucked on her neck while his hands traveled down towards the apex of her thighs. Sliding a finger through her folds, he moaned at feeling how wet she was. Selene pushed against Emmett's hand and groaned.
"So wet for me, Baby," Emmett groaned into Selene's ear. Selene reached back and pulled Emmett's head down and kissed him. Emmett turned Selene around and made love to her against the shower wall.
After they finished showering, Selene and Emmett made their way upstairs. Seth immediately rushed over to check on his older sister, "Sel! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Sethy, don't worry. It'll take more than that to kill me. Hey! you're supposed to be going camping with Emmett and Jasper today, aren't you excited?"
Seth gave her an uncertain look as did Emmett, "Do you think we should still do that after everything that's happened," Emmett asked.
"Yeah," Seth said, agreeing with Emmett.
"Oh come on, you guys, I feel fine. My dad even said so, I only need a little bit of rest, and I'd make a full recovery."
Emmett and Seth looked at each other then looked in the kitchen where Rosalie and Paul were sitting. Selene rolled her eyes, "Rosalie is not going to attack me, you guys. She made a vow on the River Styx, and Rosalie is not going to break it. Are you Rosalie?"
Rosalie walked out of the kitchen with Paul, "No, I'm not, Selene. I have nothing against you anymore. Especially now that understand what you and Emmett feel for each other. And not after the warning your dad gave me about the consequences of breaking a vow made on the River Styx," Rosalie looked down then looked up at Selene, "I'm sorry for everything I did to you and Emmett, I didn't understand the pull between mates and imprints, but I do now," Rosalie said and took Paul's hand.
"I hope one day you and Emmett will be able to forgive me. And I'd like to start making amends by telling you that I already signed the divorce papers, Emmett. We'll be officially divorced in fifteen days."
"Thank you, Rosalie," Emmett told his ex-wife.
"Yeah, thank you, Rosalie. And I'm glad that you understand what Emmett and I feel for each other, and that you can experience for yourself with Paul. And it may take some time, but I'm sure I can forgive you for what happened between us."
Rosalie nodded, and she and Selene shook hands. Selene then turned to Emmett and Seth, "See, everything is fine, Em, you and Jasper can take Seth hunting. If you don't want to go camping, fine, but please go hunting."
"Why do you want me to go hunting, Sel?"
"Because, and correct me if I'm wrong, Jasper, you're stressed, worried, and angry," Selene said, then looked at Jasper, who nodded.
Seth sighed, "I can't help it, Sel, I was so worried about you. And angry with them," Seth said then nodded towards Paul and Rosalie.
"I know, Sethy, but you need to get that anger out. And I think the safest way to do that is to go hunting. Emmett offered to wrestle with you, but you might hurt him." Selene said.
Emmett rolled his eyes, and Seth smirked.
"So, go, have fun with Emmett and Jasper," Selene said with a smile.
Seth sighed, "Alright, I'll go. You promise you're going to be okay?"
"I promise. Leah and I are going to watch Bella for Emmett and Jasper, then afterward, Leah and I will do something fun like go shopping or something. Unless you want to stay here with us and go shopping?"
Seth curled his lip in disgust, "No, I'll go with Em and Jasper."
"Good, have fun."
"Okay, then, now that it's settled, I'll go get our camping gear," Jasper said, then went down to the garage and started packing some fishing equipment and a tent.
"Go pack a bag, Seth," Leah told her little brother.
Seth nodded and went upstairs. As soon as he left, Emmett hugged Selene, "Are you sure you're going to be okay?"
Selene sighed in frustration, "Yes, Emmett. Everything is going to be fine, I promise. Like I told Seth, tomorrow, Leah and I will go shopping."
"You don't have to worry, Em, I'll even go with them," Alice said, "Bella wants to spend time with Jake anyway, so she'll be safe on the reservation."
"Okay, but be careful."
"Always, Teddy Bear," Selene said and kissed Emmett.
A little while later, Jasper came back upstairs with two backpacks for him and Emmett with everything they would need to go camping. Then Seth came down with his bag, which Jasper took from him and added to his pack. He quickly kissed his sisters while Jasper kissed Alice. Then Emmett kissed Selene; after that, they all went outside and watched as Seth leaped off the porch and phased. He shook out his fur and waited on Emmett and Jasper.
"Okay, Seth follow us, and we'll take you to a good hunting spot," Jasper said.
"That is if you can keep up," Emmett said smugly.
"Emmett," Selene said in a warning tone, "You hurt my little brother, and I'll kick your ass."
"Only playing, Babe."
Seth barked out a laugh at Emmett then growled playfully at him and looked off into the distance, "Okay, let's get going," With that, the two vampires and wolf left to go hunting.
"Should I have gone with them," Paul asked from the porch.
"No, you're one of the reasons Seth is so angry. You would have made it worse, you idiot," Leah told him, "Don't you remember? You're the reason Selene was banished."
Paul hung his head in shame.
"It may have been for the best. Paul, but that doesn't mean he still isn't angry with you," Selene told him.
Alice cleared her throat and looked out towards the river where Edward was still, "Drowning" in misery, "Um, Selene, how much longer will Edward be punished?"
Selene looked at her watch, "Another twelve hours. My dad said twenty-four hours, and it'll end exactly in twenty-four hours, not a second earlier."
"What should I tell Bella when she finds out that Edward isn't going to come over," Alice asked.
"Tell her that he's still hunting," Leah said, "She's stupid enough to believe that."
Alice giggled, "I hate to say it, but she is naive enough to believe."
"Or stupid, whatever," Leah mumbled.
"I think I'll call her and tell her that Edward isn't back yet. Maybe she'll spend the day with Jacob today instead, and we can go shopping," Alice suggested.
"Okay, we only need to run it by Jared first," Selene said.
"I'll do it; I have to report back anyway. I have to see if the same thing that applied to Emmett applies to Rose anyway," Paul told the girls.
"And what was that," Rosalie asked.
"Because Emmett is Selene's imprint, he's allowed on the rez. And since you're mine, the same rules should apply, but I want to make sure," Paul explained.
Rosalie's eyes light up at the thought of being to spend as much time with Paul as possible. She smiled at him and kissed him, "Call me when you find out,"
"I will," Paul said and kissed Rosalie again.
Paul then leaped off the porch and phased; he looked at his imprint one last time then took off for La Push. When he arrived, he went to Emily's house, and everyone came running out of the house and started bombarding him with questions about Selene, wanting to know if she was alright.
"Yeah, she's alright, you guys. You don't have to worry about her. Selene's dad saved her."
"Is she really a demigod, Paul," Quil asked.
"Who's her dad?" Embry asked.
"Why didn't she tell us before," Sam asked.
"Because that's something that demigods don't go around telling everyone," Sue said as she walked towards Emily's house with Billy being pushed by Jared.
"Just like it's a danger for us that others find out about what we are, it's an even bigger danger for demigods to be exposed. Not only from humans but monsters," Jared said.
"Monsters? What do you mean, monster?" Emily asked.
"And how do you know, Jared?" Sam questioned.
"The Elders just filled me in," Jared answered.
"Why don't we go inside and we'll explain," Billy suggested.
They all went inside Emily's house, and Billy and Sue began to explain everything to the pack. Emily, Kim, and the boys sat there in shock and awe as they listened to the explanation of the existence of demigods. They couldn't believe that the gods existed, but after what happened to Sam, Paul, and to extent Jake, they were a little more prone to believe it.
"You mean to say that Selene's dad is, what did you call them, one of the Big Three. And that means she's the daughter of one of the three major Olympian gods?" Sam asked.
"Yes, in this case, Selene's father is Poseidon, the god of the sea."
Everyone turned to look at Paul, "You used to insult the daughter of Poseidon." Emily said, "It's a wonder we're all still alive."
"I know," Paul acknowledged.
"Now, The Elders have already sworn me to secrecy. And you all have to do the same. But you have to swear on the River Styx. And that's something severe to the gods. If you betray it, you will be taken straight to the underworld." Jared explained
"That exists!" Embry explained.
Quil smacked him in the head, "Of course it does, you idiot."
Paul was the first one to swear without hesitation, "I swear on the River Styx that I will not betray Selene or her brother's secret no matter what."
Everyone looked at each other. The pack had forgotten all about Percy. If he was her half brother and they shared a father, then that only meant one thing. Percy was also a demigod. Sam was the next one to swear on the River Styx and so on. No one hesitated to protect Selene and Percy's secret, not even the girls.
After that happened, the pack heard someone clapping. They all turned around and saw a man strolling up the path from First Beach. Paul's eyes widened, and he instantly bowed as did Billy and Sue. Everyone followed their example. Poseidon rolled his eyes, "Oh, please, Sue, you're the mother to my only daughter. You don't have to bow to me; I should bow to you for such a gift. The rest of you, though, good job." Poseidon said with a smirk.
"Lord Poseidon, to what do we owe this visit," Billy asked.
"I only wanted to check on how Jared was doing as the new Alpha and seeing how the issue with Selene's secret was being handled. I must admit adding Percy to your vow was a nice touch, Paul, thank you."
"You're welcome, Lord Poseidon," Paul answered with another bow.
"The only problem I see is that moron that isn't here. The one who blabbed to Bella about the Cullens in the first place," Poseidon said.
"You don't have to worry about a thing, Lord Poseidon, I'll handle Jacob myself," Jared said.
Poseidon smiled at Jared, "Good lad; then I'll leave Jacob in your hands. I think the pain he gets every time he disagrees with you should be proof enough of my existence. If more proof is needed, then don't hesitate to ask," Poseidon said to Jared then offered his hand.
Jared hesitated for a moment then shook the god's hand. Poseidon smiled again, "Strong grip, I like that. I must be going now, but make no mistake I will be watching. And I'm not the only one that will," Poseidon said ominously, then he teleported away.
"What did he mean by that," Quil asked.
"Probably that Zeus tends to look in on his niece from time to time. And if you think Poseidon is petty, his brother is worse," Sue said and left it at that.
"So, Paul, Jared told us you imprinted on Rosalie Hale, would you like to talk about it?" Billy asked.
Paul's face lit up and instantly agreed. He followed Sue and Billy to Old Quil's house, where they could hold the council with Paul. In the meantime, Jared walked into the house, followed by the others, "How are you going to keep Jake from blabbing to Bella," Sam asked.
"I'm going to show him the memory of what happened today and make him swear on the River Styx like everyone else. Then I'm going to compel him not to open his mouth. Jake can't go against me without causing himself pain, as you guys have seen. So he'd have to be an idiot to defy me," Jared explained.
Everyone nodded.
"Hey, who do you think Jake will imprint on," Quil asked.
"By the way things are going, probably another vampire," Embry said with a laugh.
Everyone in the room laughed, "Wouldn't that be a kick in the balls for him too," Paul said.
