When the group went inside the house, Carlisle started fussing over Percy and Selene, "Carlisle, we're fine, I promise," Selene told him when he examined Percy's ribs.

"I know, but for my peace of mind, I need to see that you two are okay."

Selene and Percy roll their eyes and let Carlisle examine them. Once he was satisfied, they went back downstairs, where Esme had lunch. The minute Selene and Percy stepped into the dining room, Emmett rushed towards his mate, "Are you alright, Sel?" Emmett asked as he looked Selene over.

"Of course, Teddy Bear, as I told Carlisle, the water healed us; you have nothing to worry about."

"And the baby?"

"Perfectly fine."

Emmett sighed, "Good. I was so worried."

Selene frowned, "Yes, I know. And don't think I didn't hear you growl at my brother, Emmett Cullen."

If Emmett could have blushed, he would have. He at least was able to give Selene a sheepish look, "I'm sorry, Sel, I couldn't help it."

Selene sighed, "That's alright, Em, but if you do that again, I'll kick your ass."

Leah started cackling from where she was sitting, listening to Selene and Emmett, "Oh, I would love to see Dory kick the Grizzly Bear's ass."

Emmett turned and glared at Leah, "Shut up, Toto."

"Hey, that's Sel and my thing. Don't start with me, Emmett."

Emmett grinned.

"Anyway, Emmett, feed me; the baby and I are hungry," Selene said to her boyfriend.

"Right, Esme has everything ready, and she made a ton of food for you guys."

Selene grinned and headed towards the dining room, followed by Percy and Emmett. The demigods sat down at the table, and Leah, Seth, and Paul, Emmett, sat down next to Selene. They began to serve themselves a mountain of food and had their lunch.

After lunch, Emmett insisted that Selene go to their room so that he could prepare a warm bath for her. He carried her back to their room and laid her down on their bed, then went to the bathroom to prepare the bath. Once the bathtub was filled, Emmett came back out and picked Selene you, and carried her into the bathroom, where he undressed her and placed her in the bathtub full of bubbles and scented oils. Selene sighed as her body was submerged in the water. She looked up at her mate and smirked, "Are you going to join me, Baby? Or are you going to make me bathe alone?"

Emmett grinned and quickly undressed; he made his way into the tub and got behind Selene and held her close. Selene leaned back against Emmett and sighed; she closed her eyes and let her body relax. After a while, Emmett started to massage Selene, taking the knots from her shoulders. Selene moaned as she felt her body relax further. Emmett continued to rub her shoulders, working his way down her back while he kissed her neck; Selene turned her head and caught Emmett's lips in a passionate kiss. She turned her body to straddle his hips; Selene reached down and pumped Emmett's cock a few times, making him hard, then slowly lowered herself onto him. They both moaned as their bodies became one. Selene slowly rode Emmett, taking her time to enjoy the feel of him inside her. They kissed and whispered love to each other until they reached their peak. Afterward, Selene lay against Emmett's chest with her eyes closed and dozed off. They stayed like that until the water turned cold, then Emmett lifted Selene out of the water; he dried her off himself and carried her to bed, where she slept the rest of the afternoon and didn't wake until dinner time.

When Selene and Emmett went upstairs, Carlisle and Jasper talked about the battle, "We might need a few more people to help us, Carlisle," Jasper said.

Carlisle thought for a moment, "I could call the Denali coven. I know that Irena will not help us, but if I reason with Tanya, I might be able to get her to help us."

Selene looked between Carlisle and Jasper, confused, "Why wouldn't they help us?"

"Because the wolves killed Irena's made earlier this year," Jasper explained.

"Why?"

"He attacked Bella," Paul answered.

Selene nodded. She couldn't blame Irena for not wanting to help, but Selene hoped others would.

Carlisle stood and went to his office to call Tanya. While he did that, Selene, Leah, Seth, Percy, and Paul went into the dining room where Esme had served dinner. They sat down, talking and eating and getting to know Percy better. After a while, Carlisle came downstairs and informed them that, as he suspected, Irena wasn't going to help, but he did convince Tanya, Eleazar, and Carmen to come.

Now that that was settled, it was only a matter of informing Jared that three more vampires would help them. Paul didn't think that would be a problem, and that would allow Jared to leave the young wolves at home to protect the tribe, but he knew that Jacob was going to throw a fit. He resented that more leeches would be arriving; even if Carlisle explained that their die their diet was the same as theirs, Jake was still reluctant to meet more vampires.

All that changed when Tanya's coven showed up. Jared thought that it would be in the pack's best interest that they meet the Denali coven at the Cullen house before they went out to the field to spar. The group had no objections to that since they were now accustomed to the scent of the vampires. The only one that was complaining was Jake. He didn't want to be around the bloodsuckers any longer than he had to, but Jared did not give him a choice.

When the Denali clan showed up, Jared and the others waited outside. Carlisle and the others greeted their cousins from the North, and Emmett and Rosalie introduced their mates. Tanya and the others were surprised to find out that Emmett and Rosalie were no longer married and were now mated to wolves.

"Are you two okay with how things turned out?" Kate asked.

Rosalie pecked Paul on the cheek, "We are delighted, Kate."

Emmett hugged Selene and kissed her head, "Selene, and I couldn't be happier. Things are going so well, you guys, that Selene and I are expecting a baby!" Emmett gushed.

Tanya, Kate, Eleazar, and Carmen stared at Emmett and Selene, wide-eyed and slack-jawed. Eleazar was the first to recover, "How is that possible?"

"From what we have figured out, male vampires can reproduce," Carlisle explained.

"I have never heard of such a thing," Tanya commented.

"Neither have we, but it's true," Carlisle answered.

There was a moment of silence, then Kate smiled and walked towards Selene, "Well, it seems that congratulations are in order. I'm happy for you both," Tanya said as she hugged Selene.

Selene hugged Kate back, "Thank you, Kate, we appreciate that. Now, come meet my siblings."

Selene led Kate further into the house, where she introduced Leah and Percy to her and the other Denalis. After that, Carlisle explained that the La Push wolves were waiting outside to meet them. He said that Jared, their Alpha, didn't want to overwhelm them, so he thought it would be better if they waited outside.

Tanya thought that was very thoughtful, and she and her coven went outside to meet the wolves. The Denalis walked down from the deck towards the wolves, and Jared stepped forward.

"Hello, I'm Jared Cameron. I'm the Alpha of the La Push pack. These are my packmates, Sam Uley, Quil Ateara, Embry Call, Seth Clearwater, and the one over there with the attitude is Jacob Black."

When Jared called each wolf, they stepped forward and shook Tanya and the other's hands. The only one who didn't was Jacob. He ignored the whole encounter until Jared barked out a command at Jacob. Jacob glared at Jared but had no other choice but to obey. He shook Carmen's hand, then Eleazar. He did the same with Kate, but when he got to Tanya, Jacob stopped dead in his tracks, and his eyes widened.

Suddenly the world fell away, and the only thing Jacob could focus on was the beautiful blonde vampire in front of him. Gravity ceased to hold him to the earth. Instead, Jacob felt himself being tethered to the woman in front of him. Now, Jacob understood what the other wolves meant when they told him their entire world shifted when they found the right person. Jacob Couldn't believe it; he, too, had imprinted on a vampire.
