"Bella is going to get mauled by that stupid mutt!" Edward growled at Carlisle, "He's going to get angry and shift right in front of her!"
"You don't know that for certain, and you need to calm down. This is what Bella wants." Carlisle tried approaching his son slowly, but he just sprinted away.
Edward looked down from the tree, "She belongs to me."
"Bella belongs to Bella, no one else." Carlisle shook his head sadly, where had he gone so wrong? How had Edward gotten this far away from the sweet young man he once knew?
Growling, the younger vampire jumped down to challenge his father, "She. Is. Mine."
"She is no one's." Carlisle refused to back down, "You want Bella to be happy, right?"
Begrudgingly, Edward nodded.
"Then let her go." With that, Carlisle turned and ran away.
Edward flew around and punched a tree, sending it flying. His breathing grew ragged even though it didn't have too.
Bella was his. She always would be.

"You do know how mad Bella is going to be when she wakes up and finds you're gone?" Brady called, running after the beta.
"She'll understand why I had to go. The pack needs me." Jacob looked back with sad eyes, "Take care of her?"
Brady stopped and nodded, "Of course."
Jacob gave a quick nod before shifting. The large head of the red wolf looked up to Brady.
"I promise." Brady said.
Jake nodded and then took off.
Brady pulled at his bangs as he watched Jacob run away, "She is going to kill me."

My eyes fluttered open as someone gently caressed my temple.
"Brady?" My hoarse voice asked.
He smiled down at me, his amber eyes bright, "Morning, beautiful."
I blushed even though I was freezing.
"You know I would wait forever for you?" Brady tilted his head to the side, his eyes just gazing into mine.
I had to turn away; the red was blanketing my entire face.
Gently, Brady turned my head to face him again. He rested his forehead against mine, sighing, "I love you."
"I love you too." And I did. Nothing felt forced, nothing felt abnormal, it just felt right.
It felt perfect.
