Chapter 56: The Honest Conversation About Seth

WARNING: A LITTLE SMUT

Ale's POV:

All three of them phased for a long time. I stayed in the car, as I watched them anxiously through the window. I was sad that my day with Leah and shopping for my wedding dress ended up with There was loud snarling, growling, and snapping from Paul toward Seth, and Jacob toward Paul. They all phased back, and they were putting their shorts on, when Paul told me what they have talked about. I listened attentively. Even though it gave me a heavy heart to hear that my daughter is going to be the next peacemaker, I understand that the future pack will need someone to guide them emotionally. I don't want my daughter forced to be in this path. I wanted to give her the freedom to be who she wants to be, but I guess it won't be forced if she was born to be a peacemaker unlike me, I was thrusted into this role.

I wasn't certain, but to hear Jacob's explanation that the spirits may want me to train my daughter as the new peacemaker. It makes sense, but how? I want her to be her, not me. I don't want her to be another version of me. I want her to be her own person. I don't know what exactly they want me to train her for, but the pressing question that they have for me is why. Why now? Seth made eye contact with me so many times, but it was only today that it happened.

Then, it hit me, Garrett.

My eyes widened in realization, and Paul asked gently, "what is it?"

I said, "I think it is because Garrett came. Since Garrett finally caved in to hear what Carlisle got to say to take down the Volturi, I think it solidified the future. ..In other words, the future has been set. Sometime in the future, the Volturi will be taken down and the supernatural will be exposed, so I guess a new peacemaker is needed. .. But why? I am still going to be around. Don't the wolves age slowly?"

Seth exclaimed, "Oh, now it makes sense. It all started with Jacob when he became Alpha. Even though the Cullens were saved from being destroyed by..Sam and the others, there was still a big 'if' whether they are planning to take down the Volturi to prevent the supernatural go into war with the humans in the future. Ale and Jacob did talk to them about the future, but once they start working toward to that future, it is when the future became set."

I nodded in agreement with Seth. Jacob was thinking silently and thoughtfully as Paul looked more distraught by the minute. I don't blame him. The future seemed a bit grim for all of us, and I honestly didn't want to bring kids to this world if the future would be so grim, however apparently, the spirits had other plans for us.

Then, Jacob added to answer my question, "we changed depending on how often we phase. Since I made changes on how we patrol and how we connect to our wolf spirit, we will age but at a slower rate. Our imprints still age as a normal human."

I nodded in understanding and said, "It makes sense..By the time the supernatural gets exposed, we won't be at the peak of our youth, so the new pack will need to step in. Also, I and the older members would need to train the new pack so that history won't repeat themselves like the story of the third wife."

All three of them nodded. Jacob sensed as he glanced both me and Paul cautiously. I could see from his expression that he understood that both Paul and I needed time alone, so he said, "I'll go back to the reservation. Seth, follow me. I have some things to talk to you about besides this."

Seth tilted his head to the side in confusion, and said questionably, "Okay?..uhm..Bye Ale and ..Paul."

Paul nodded stiffly at Seth as Jacob and Seth phase toward the forest. Everything got errily quiet. Paul got on to the driver seat and drove off. We both were emotionally tired, so most of the way, it was quiet. I fell asleep on the way back home, and I woke up with Paul carrying me back inside the house. It was already late in the night with the moon up in the sky.

I said drowsily, "carino, how is it that you are able to carry me so easily?"

I felt Paul smirked even in the dark and said, "like I said, I will always be able to carry you."

I felt him purred as he gently laid me down on the bed. He was hovering over as he gave me a slow kiss on the mouth. He slowly deepened on the kiss, and he started to slowly undress me. It didn't take him long to take off my jumpsuit, and he started nibbling on my claim mark. I moaned softly behind his ear, and he started rubbing his erected cock bellow my round tummy. He was fondling with my breasts with such care. I felt like today wasn't as much passionate. It feels like Paul just wanted to feel loved, so he took his time with me. I didn't rush him, nor he tried to rush me.

He bit me close to my claim mark again and I felt blood was drawn from the smell of it. This claim mark again took its time to heal, and I would taste blood on my mouth as he would kiss me sensually. He would cover me with his saliva as he licked my tummy and my whole body. It felt so much pleasure from it that I was dripping for my arousal. He knew how excited I was, so he gently nudges me on my side so that he would come around from the back and enter me on my side. He thrusted slowly as we both moaned in sync from feeling each other. Paul was purring lowly as he was thrusting slowly from the behind. I would squeak here in there when I feel him ramming his huge cock inside my cervix. He finally slowed down, before he pulled it out. We didn't go as long this time, and he gently pulled me to lay my back against him. He wrapped around his arms around my protruding belly.

I laid my head against his warm chest, and I sighed in content. I was tired from the shopping today, throwing up a bit from the presence of a vampire, and making love with Paul. However, I still wanted to check in with him.

I asked tiredly, "how are you?"

He asked, "What do you mean?"

I said, "with..Seth imprinting on our little girl. It took both of us by a surprise, and I know..it was a lot for both of us to digest. I want to check in on you, carino."

He said, "Oh..thanks hon. That's sweet of you considering I should be asking you that..I was really pissed at first then upset that now my little girl will be involved with the supernatural. It was hard enough that my boys will become spirit warriors, but now my Evangeline going to take an active role as well…Being a wolf, took the remaining years of my childhood, and I didn't want our kids to go through with it, but..I don't know..I think there is no point of continue being upset about it. Better to just go with the flow. There isn't much we can do."

I listened carefully, and I could see that Paul is trying. I still feel him upset but not as much as earlier, so I nodded silently.

He asked, "and you?"

I said, "I am the same with what you are thinking. There isn't point of continuing being upset about it. All we can do is to make the best of it, and we also have each other, so it won't be too bad."

He said, "that's true.."

I asked, "How do you feel about Seth?"

He said with a sigh, "it's not that I don't trust him. I rather have him looking after my girl than the other guys. My wolf spirit can tolerate him, and I can tolerate him. He is the perfect man for the role to protect my girl. I don't like it that he would be around a lot, but I know the struggle of being away from your imprint, so I won't be insensitive. I am glad she won't be mated with Seth, or else I might actually bite his ass."

I replied, "I feel the same. I like Seth, and he is a sweetheart. He is like a younger brother, so I cannot see him as my son-in-law…I would need to talk to Seth after the babies are born, but how we are going to arrange all of this. I would also need to talk to Seth when he does have someone romantically in his life. He would need to reveal the secret to that individual because I doubt the girl would be able to understand why he feels a need to protect to a child. He might get misunderstood and it would cost him his relationship. Thankfully, Jacob is lenient and understanding. He won't make it hard for Seth to date and to tell the secret to his romantic partner. I know the council..once they find out that Seth imprinted and my daughter is going to be the new peacemaker, they might try to push Seth to only focus on protecting her. However, I disagree. Seth deserves as much of a life than anyone else."

Paul listened quietly, and he said, "If you feel that you need to talk to Seth about this, then I trust you Ale. I understand where you are coming from. I wouldn't make Seth to focus all of his life with protecting my daughter. You guys already have me as their wolf and a spirit warrior to protect y'all. If anything, it would only irritate me and my wolf spirit if he does that. It just rubs us off that he doesn't trust me to take care of my own kid."

I said warmly, "I can see where you are coming from, carino. I am glad to hear your honest opinions about all of this even when you understand why the spirits assigned Seth to our daughter, you are still allowed to feel upset about it. It doesn't make you doubtful, just human."

No matter how much a person understands someone's actions and thoughts, they are still allowed to feel what they feel without judgement. Paul is still human even if he is a spirit warrior.

Paul hummed lazily in agreement. We stayed silently in our arms just feeling each other. Paul was massaging my shoulders and my lower back, and I moaned in happiness. It felt so good, and Paul asked, "So, were you able to find your dress, hon?"

I said with a cheerful smile, "Yes! I did. I got them on a discount. I got myself a veil and a hair ornament too thanks to Alice."

He said with a smile, "I am glad honey. I haven't seen the dress. It is still in the trunk of the car, and I will ask either Leah or Seth to pick it up."

I said quickly, "Oh, uh, it will be better if Leah picks it up.." I was reminded of the lingerie that Leah made me to buy at Victoria Secret. I don't want Seth to be seeing that.

Paul nibbled on my ear, and said seductively, "Hm..do you have something 'special' for me?"

I said teasingly, "uhh, maybe?"

He chuckled and gave me a lick around my earlobe. I squirmed in surprise, and he said as he was purring, "we can't wait to see it in soon."

I nodded sleepily, and I said with a yawn, "I have more things to do for the wedding with Leah tomorrow. I think this may be the last time I see you until I see you in the ceremony? You'll be getting out of work late tomorrow, and by the time you get out, I would already be at Leah's house."

He paused as he realized that this may be the last time I would see him. He said, "I might see you in the afternoon for an hour for break at work, then I will go back to finishing up before we have our wedding ceremony. I would finally be able to devote all of my time with you as you get closer to your due date."

He hugged me a little tighter as he nuzzled me at the check. He pulled the baby-making blanket to cover me, and we fell asleep in the same position.

Author's Note:

It was a bit of a filler's chapter, but I thought it would be necessary for Ale and Paul to talk about how they feel about Seth and the imprinting like a couple to practice honest, open communication regardless of their imprint bond.

Next chapter, it will be a wedding. After the next chapter, I have a surprise for you. That chapter is already in works, so I am trying to figure out how to transition from this point of the plot to that chapter. That is why even though I promised I would send a longer chapter, I am breaking it down into individual chapters.

Hope you guys liked this chapter,

As always, reviews are very much appreciated.
