DespicableTia

Tanya's POV

When I got to mine and Leah's clearing, the shape-shifting siblings were already there. If vampires could sweat my hands would be clammy right about now. Seth looked as though he was vibrating on the spot, like he was trying to stay in one place but rush over to me at the same time. The conflict that his body was going through was cancelled out by the boyish grin on his face.

"This is her, Lee-Lee? She's absolutely stunning!"

I like my brother-in-law already.

I could see Leah nodding dumbly at her brother while I captivated her gaze. She stood tall and proud. Like the alpha she is. My perfect match.

As I got within reaching distance, Leah automatically pulled me into her arms and kissed the top of my head.

"Hey my Queen. Missed you." She murmured softly.

"Hi Puppy. I missed you too." I could stay in this woman's arms for all of eternity and even then, it wouldn't be enough.

A gentle cough from besides us had us pulling back slightly. I was hesitant of letting go of Leah, so I spun around in her arms so that my back was to her front, still making sure her arms were around my waist as I gently rested my hands on top of her forearms and squeezed them. We swayed gently together on the spot to a tune only the two of us were aware of. A piece of music both our hearts recognised and rejoiced in. No physical music but the symphony of two hearts beating in sync. A True Mate's tune.

"Babe, this is my idiot brother Seth. Seth, this beautiful lady is Tanya Denali, my imprint." I could feel the delight rolling off Leah when she introduced both of us to each other.

It was the first time two very important people in her life were meeting and it was the first time I was meeting Leah's family. This was a huge step but the nerves I felt earlier had vanished into thin air the moment I laid eyes on my Alpha.

It was strange. I had been the leader of my Coven the moment Irina, Kate and myself had been turned but calling Leah my Alpha didn't make me feel lesser than her nor did I believe that I was superior. We are equals. Both from different ends of the spectrum yet when we meet, no in between exists. Just two people who can share their experiences, their love, their varying thoughts and yet respect each other in their given positions. The perfect balance.

I've been independent for so long but here I was, relishing in the fact that I could call Leah an Alpha, My Alpha. A sexy, ravenous and bodacious Alpha, nevertheless. And all mine.

She didn't stop me from calling her Puppy, she could have taken it as an insult, could have been offended, but she knew it came from a place of complete and utter adoration. A loveable jest. A secret running joke between two lovers.

Seth waved at me, "Soooooo… you're the one who's stolen my sister's heart and her tough-cookie persona. Nice one!"

"Watch it little Bro, I'll still kick your ass."

"Yeah Lee-Lee, try saying that without cuddling your girl."

"Shut up."

Watching the banter flow between the two siblings puts my mind even more at ease and I can feel the tension leaving my body completely.

I give Seth my signature smirk, nerves completely evaporated. Nerves? What nerves?

"I am indeed. This vampire has stolen quite a few things from your sister…but I still have a few more things to steal from her yet." I wink at Seth.

He coughs, splutters and laughs all at the same time.

"Tan! You can't say stuff like that in front of my brother!"

I laugh and tilt my head up, placing a lingering kiss on her cheek before turning back around towards Seth.

"Sorry Baby, Succubus blood remember?" I smile over at Seth, "Your sister speaks about her pain in the ass brother all the time. I don't see you being a pain, but you are quite the handsome young wolf, aren't you?"

Seth blushes hard at my compliment. Good genetics definitely run in the Clearwater household. Seth looks a lot like his sister but obviously my Puppy was completely in a league of her own.

"Aww shucks, thanks sis-in-law." Seth manages to grin out at me.

Seth calling me sis-in-law so readily has me feeling warmth spread from my head right down to my toes.

"I think he's smitten with you Babe, no need to keep on feeding his ego with false compliments."

"Awww is my Puppy getting jealous? It's okay, you're still way prettier." I completely turn around in Leah's arms, stand on my toes and kiss the tip of her nose.

"You're both so sickeningly cute and I've only seen you be a coupley for a max of 10 minutes. I don't know if I can stand to see you both together for all of eternity."

Leah dips her head down to give me a proper kiss on my lips before turning on her brother.

"Once again bro, shut up."

"You shut up."

"I swear to god Seth, if Tan wasn't here, I'd make you chase your own tail."

"Down wolves, down." I pat Leah's arms before grabbing onto the wrist of her right arm and pull her towards the ground.

"You can carry on this adorable display of sibling love in a sec, however we have a few things to go over with my new brother-in-law, remember?"

"Yeah Lee-Lee what the hell was that with Bella? Lee told me a fair bit, but I have loads of questions." Seth furrows his brow as he asks me and Leah with a cute look of confusion on his face.

"Well my handsome brother-in-law let's start from the beginning…"

We sit huddled on the ground, me between Leah's legs and Seth sitting opposite. He leans forward in eagerness for the whole two hours of us going through the details of the prophecy, the mission and finally mine and Leah's meeting. Seth and Leah fill me in on Rosalie visiting Bella (She did what?! Her feelings for Bella must be progressing more quickly than I thought they would, that sneaky little Ice-Queen!) and we generally answer any questions any of us had for each other.

"My mind is officially blown." Seth whistles lowly, sitting back on his hands as the conversation finally comes to a stop.

"Tell me about it Bro, when this fine lady told me about all of this, I couldn't believe it was true." Leah squeezes my hands before dropping a quick kiss to my temple.

"It sounds like something out of a fantasy movie but it's all true." I reaffirm as I feel a small smile creeping up onto my face from the small display of affection from my Puppy.

"Oh yeah! I forgot! I have to do something." Seth suddenly exclaims before looking very stern and staring right at me.

The smile that was forming on my face becomes quickly wiped off. Oh shit, what did I do now?

"Me and you need to have a talk. A serious talk, Tanya." Seth's glare becomes even more heated and for the life of me I can't figure what the hell is happening because a happy person like Seth going all serious seems unnatural.

"Er-Sure?" I hesitate whilst tensing in my mate's arms. Leah glares right back at Seth.

"What the hell little bro, knock it off!?" Leah shouts over at her brother but he just ignores her.

"If you ever, I mean evhorr! Break my sister's heart I will find you. And end you." Seth's threat comes out in a low tone. I relax again in my alpha's arms and outright laugh. I mean full on belly laugh.

Seth lets out a whine at being laughed at. "Hey! I mean it sis-in-law!"

"Seth, I couldn't leave your sister even if I tried, she's mine. But great 'talk', it was really menacing, it would have really scared the crap out of me if I had been a human and not a vampire who had happened to find their mate." I emphasise the word 'mate' so that he understands the whole embodiment of love and trust that that word symbolises.

"You're an idiot Seth," Leah grinds out before her voice softens, "But you're my idiot brother so thank you for looking out for me."

Seth grumbles a bit before smiling and returning back to his jovial self. His smile though is ruined by a massive yawn that seems to take over out of nowhere.

"Damn, I am tired. Right Ladies, I am going to love you and leave you because I need some sleep." Seth gets up and leans over me to kiss Leah's cheek but to my surprise he ducks lower and kisses my cheek too. If I could blush, I would be. It was nice to be so readily accepted by someone who is so important to my mate. I felt myself purr in contentment.

"Love yous!" Seth shouts just as he jumps in the air, transforms into his wolf-form and totters off in the direction of his home.

"Love ya too!" I shout out after him, happiness evident in my voice. I'm just about to address my sexy alpha when all of a sudden, my world if spinning and I'm laying on my back with a beautiful lady hovering over me.

"That went really really well, my Queen!"

"It did, Puppy. Seth… is the most kindest soul ever, he seems to ooze sunshine, right?"

"Yeah, don't tell him I told you this, but I could never ask for a better brother."

"Your secret is safe with me, Puppy."

Leah leans down and kisses me slowly but softly. She tastes like honey. I used to adore honey as a human and had a real sweet tooth, it's no surprise that my love would taste just as sweet. Leah's kiss warms me from limb to limb, like slow burning charcoal, but I want more of this stunning creature.

Using the many skills that I possess; I roll us over so that I am now the one on top. Mmmmm my alpha feels perfect beneath me. I up the tempo of the kiss and push into her harder. I want more of my wolf. The kiss becomes desperate and needy, both of us are groping and groaning and I don't know how or when, but Leah manages to get her hands under my top and is scratching hard down my spine. Fuuuuck that feels so good. I gasp loudly at the pain/pleasure and pull away from her lips. If we don't stop now, I'll end up taking her here and now and no, that wouldn't be right.

Our first-time making love would not be in the middle of a clearing on top of unkempt grass and uneven ground. When it happens, it'll be in the sanctuary of a place where there is no threat of prying eyes, where there is comfort galore and the place is adorned with the light of a thousand candles. I can already picture the reflection of the flames dancing of the sweat that would drip down my wolf's body as pleasure courses through her body courtesy of my tongue and fingers. Jeez, I need to stop!

I can't believe the words that are about to come out of my mouth, I mean I'm part succubus for god's sake, but it seems like I have finally gained some sense of control. Damn you matureness that comes with mating. I inwardly pout.

"Baby, we need to slow down, otherwise you and I will be getting grass all up in our lady gardens."

Leah blinks up at me owlishly as the heat behind her eyes simmers down and she realises that her hands are painting my back with her marks.

"Oh shit, erm sorry Beautiful, I got carried away…. In my defence! It's your fault."

"My fault?"

"Yeah, you're just so damn irresistible to me."

"Trust me Baby, I feel the exact same, but I don't want our first time to be rushed. You deserve the best."

"You're the best."

I laugh and roll off Leah but not completely as I end up cuddling into her side. "I love you Baby."

"I love you too my Queen." Leah kisses my forehead and plays with my hair. I purr gently in response.

Leah continues to stroke my hair, but I can feel the peace that was starting to form around us start to disperse for me as she starts talking about the progress between Bella and Rosalie.

"I can't believe Rosalie actually went to Bella, that was fast work!"

I start nibbling on my bottom lip with worry. I'm going to have to tell her about my flirting. I can't keep things from my wolf.

"Yeah it was a bit unusual and reckless of the usually stoic Ice Queen but erm…I may have kinda kickstarted that by er….teasing and flirting with Bella."

I duck my head into Leah's neck. I can feel her body tense up at my revelation.

"You…flirted with and teased my sister?"

"To make Rosalie jealous! I swear Baby it was just to rile up Rose, I swear I just put my hand on her knee and maybe kissed the back of her hand. In front of Rosalie."

Leah lets go of me, stands up and starts pacing, growling, clenching and unclenching her fists.

I sit up but stay still as a statue watching her pace for a few moments.

"Baby…"

She stops pacing but turns sharply towards me with fire burning in her eyes. Her body rippling with the strength of her muscles and the anger that seems to be rolling off her.

"You can't do things like that Tan! I'm… I'm so close to phasing right now, running to Bella and tearing her a new one. Do you get that? I want to hurt her because picturing your lips on the back of her hand is making me want to hurt!"

Ah, the rippling of her body is her stopping herself from phasing.

I stand up quickly and blur over to my wolf, cupping her face in my hands. There's a teardrop falling from the corner of her right eye. Ahhh damn I just promised her brother I wouldn't break her heart, why am I like this? I whimper and stand on my tiptoes to rest my forehead against hers, wiping away that single teardrop. Never again.

"I didn't think Baby, I was using my usual succubus charm, I wasn't thinking and went to my default settings. I'm sorry baby, I'm sorry." I pepper kisses all over her face. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Leah's anger seems to deflate, and she hugs me fiercely to her. My body melds to hers and I hold onto her just as hard.

"I forgive you Tan… and I'm sorry too, all these emotions, they're new to me and just thinking about anyone else near you…makes me flip. I get that you doing… that… with Bella was important to make Rose jealous but just give me the heads up first of what your part of the plan is so I don't murder my sister."

I slightly pull back from the hug so that I can rest my forehead against Leah's again and look deep into her eyes.

"I'll keep the flirtatious manner to a minimum from now on Puppy. I promise. Just know that you get all of my real teasing and flirting. That's all for you. I'm yours."

"Yes Beautiful, You're mine."

Bella's POV

Sweet baby potatoes, I think I've been run over by a truck is the first thought that enters my mind as I wake up to the sound of my alarm. On a fricking Saturday. I must have forgotten to turn it off last night. Dammit.

My back, dear sweet lord my back, is in agony! And my head. Don't get me started on my head. There's a pounding right behind my eyes and I swear the biggest regret of mine is opening my eyes this morning because my head and my back are about to kill me. I groan as I roll over onto my back in the hope that it will help me move that one step closer to actually getting up but all I can do is stare up at the ceiling.

This is definitely not period pains. It's nowhere near my time of the month for your fyi. Right, I need to get up onto my feet. That would be a great bit of progress. With a heaving groan I manage to swing my leg over the side of my bed and sit up. The swivelling motion has made my room start to spin and yup… I can feel last night's dinner deciding to make a reappearance.

Ignoring my pain, I manage to run to the bathroom just in time to… taste my dinner again. Gross.

Urgh, I feel like shit. Maybe a shower will help? I manage to crawl back to my room, grab a change of clothes and crawl back into the bathroom and into the shower. The moment the lukewarm water hits my back, relief washes over me. Fuuuuuuudge, the water feels so so good. It's like it has cooled down the intense burning of pain to mere background noise.

After finishing the shower and getting dressed, I slowly make my way to the kitchen and pour myself a bowl of cereal and tuck in. As I'm slowly eating whilst still half asleep, bits of what happened last night start to flash before my eyes. Wait…What? My spoon stays hovering in the air like a Nimbus 2000. Auto-pilot switched off.

Was… was I dreaming things last night? Everything seems to be in my dreams these days.

There was this light…in my room. It… it reached out towards me. And it spoke! What did it say?

I drop my spoon into the bowl and milk sploshes over onto the table.

"Sleep my child, the pain is over now."

That voice. That was too powerful and too clear to be a dream. And my room. Regardless of my haze from this morning, in the back of my mind, I had picked up a strange scent in my room. Discarding my breakfast completely, I run back upstairs to my room, taking the stairs two at a time. As soon as I enter my bedroom, the smell hits me. Musk. Cinnamon. Spearmint. Roses.

I've officially become the definition of teenage obsession. I can smell her in my room now. This is beyond ridiculous.

I lean against my door, my hands on the side of my head as I hold on, trying to gather my thoughts and take things in.

Firstly, before I even came to Forks, I was dreaming of this mysterious woman. Nearly every damn night.

Secondly, this woman turns out to be real. Real! I mean how is that even possible how? How? How?

Thirdly, this woman of my dreams (literally) makes me feel like without her in my life I'll die. It's dramatic and sounds intensely stupid but it feels so very true.

Fourthly, she is in a relationship with a very huge and very male dude however her brother is interested in me. And because of that little itsy bit of info, I'm contemplating using that avenue, also known as Edward, to get close to her. Sounds very horrible of me but like I said, I need her in my life.

Fifthly, I feel ill. Really ill. My back feels like it's about to crack down the middle and split me into two pieces, there's a motherly voice echoing around in my head from last night which sounds too realistic to be a figure of my unconscious mind. And I can smell Rosalie in my damn room.

This is all way too freaky.

I can feel my breath starting to quicken, the edges of my vision starting to get blurry, there's not enough air in this room, I need… need to get out of here. God, can't the room stop spinning for a second. My fingers tremble as I hold onto the door frame and support myself up. This is so weird. I can't think clearly in here.

I stumble my way down the steps, blindly grab for my coat that's hanging by the door and make my way out the door on shaky legs with shaky breaths.

I need air. Why is there no air?

I don't know where the heck I'm going but I allow my legs to lead me anywhere they want.

This is insane, what is going on with me? This can't be real. Right? Having dreams of people before knowing they actually exist. Weird forms of light flashing in my room, flashes that fricking speak. A beautiful, absolutely stunning woman capturing my heart the moment I lay eyes on her, how can that even be real? Love at first sight. Yeah fricking right. It only exists in fiction.

Thoughts are swirling round and round in my head, like a merry-go-round. Each thought is making my head spin like I'm on a merry-go-round as well. I can't breathe.

I turn my head left and right. Oh no. Where am I? There's… green everywhere. I stumble over a branch. I need to get out of here. I… I can't breathe. My back is pounding with that fierce pain and I just want to claw at it.

I break out into a run as all rational thought goes flying out the window. Maybe running will help all of it.

There are trees everywhere. I can't get out of here. My vision is so blurry and I can feel tears cooling my cheeks as I run past and the cold morning air hits against them.

Where the fuck am I?

I need to get out. I need air. I can't breathe. I need…to…breathe…need to stop…

CRUNCH!

I end up tripping over a root and fall over, scrapping my elbow against a tree trunk as I go tumbling on to the ground. The stinging of my new wound helps me centre myself a bit.

I manage to pull myself up until I'm sitting and I hold onto my knees, resting my head against them and trying to stop the tears, the shaking of my body and evening out my breaths.

What's going on…. I can't stop… my back is hurting so bad. I feel…I feel like I'm dying.

Subconsciously I start to rock back and forth from my spot on the floor. Why won't it stop…

CRACK!

The sound startles me, and I look up from my spot on the floor right into the eyes of a gigantic grey wolf.

Forget me feeling like I'm dying, I am actually about to die dude.

The scream that was about to come shrieking out my mouth gets stuck in the back of my throat as the wolf steps towards me. I scurry back on my hands, tears pouring down my face.

Fuck, fuck fuck, fuuuuuck I'm about to get mauled to death!

The wolf is bigger than a normal wolf. It's fucking colossal from where I'm sitting.

I look at the wolf, my eyes wide and fearful but I'm trying so hard not to make a sound. I need to find an escape. I look behind the wolf to see if there's any form of escape there. My eyes dart all around until…

Wait a hot minute… is that… is that clothes tied around one of its hind legs?

I scurry back a little bit more and as I do the wolf lays in front of me and whines.

What the…

Before I can react, it runs away out of sight to my right and in literally 10 seconds, fricking Leah Clearwater emerges from the same place.

"L-Lee?"

Leah's POV

I'm leisurely making my way back home after leaving my Queen in the early morning when Bella's scent mixed subtlety with Rosalie's (yeesh, she stinks) hits my wolf nose.

CRUNCH!

What the hell is Bells doing in the woods at this time of the day?!

I follow the noise and her scent and find Bella on the forest ground sitting and holding onto her knees, her head resting against them. She's rocking back and forth, her breathing fast but shallow with tears dripping down her face.

What the heck happened here?

I feel anger seep through my body, who the hell upset my sister so bad that she's on a literally dirty floor, lost and crying her soul out?

CRACK!

Bella's head shoots up and she stares right at me, her eyes wide with full on fear.

Ahhhh fish.

As I take a hesitant step forward, she shuffles back on her hands, her mouth opens as though she's about to scream.

A whine leaves my mouth. Shit, I'm going to have to reveal myself to the poor girl.

I internally sigh before running off behind the nearest tree, I change into my simple black tank top and denim shorts before re-emerging in front of Bells.

"L-Lee?" Bella stutters out.

"Hey Bells, yeah it's me." I kneel down in front of her but keep a bit of a distance. I don't want to startle her even more. She looks like a rabbit caught in headlights.

"T-there was a wolf! Right there! And n-now you're here! I don't…I don't understand?" Fudge, Bella's hyperventilating.

"Hey Bells, I need you to listen to my voice okay? Just…let's get your breathing steady first, I'm just going to talk to you if that's okay? Tell you random shit. Just focus on that. Then I'll tell you everything, mkay?

Bella nods and I start spouting off stuff to her about me and Seth. I tell her about my favourite things and Seth's and ask her questions in between, at first she just nods or shakes her head but the more I talk and ask her things the slower her breathing gets and she's eventually able to answer the mundane questions I throw at her verbally.

Finally, her breathing is back to normal and the tears on her cheeks have dried.

Once she's completely calm, I ask her, "why were you in the woods Bells, what happened?"

Instead of answering Bella launches herself at me and hugs me tight.

Fucking hell, I don't even hug Seth. Urgh. I swallow the uncomfortable feeling of being emotional (Tanya is my one and only exception) and hug Bella back.

I awkwardly pat her back. There…There.

"You're safe Bells. Tell me what's up?"

Bella pulls back, her cheeks red. There's my sis Bella. She looks down embarrassed.

"It's a long ass story dude. It… it doesn't even make sense to me and… I'm scared." She whispers the last part out quietly.

"Well… we've got the whole damn day so start from the top. I'm not going anywhere."

Bella sighs before she starts from the beginning.

Right from the point of when she started dreaming about Rosalie, seeing the Ice Queen at school and fainting, all the way to last night with the flashing light in her room and the voice she heard, the excruciating pain in her back and smelling Rosalie's unique scent (she could pinpoint all the notes in her scent, the way only a supernatural can).

Whilst Bella was in the midst of explaining, she had managed to get up off the floor and was pacing backwards and forwards. Up and down. Up and down. You could see how restless she was. She was talking as though I wasn't even there and that she was just summarising things for herself out loud.

As Bella was in her zone, I sent off a text to Tanya telling her that she needed to get to here ASAP.

Leah: Follow my scent my Queen, you'll find us.

Tanya: Okay Puppy, see you in a few. xxx

Just as Bella had finished, my beautiful imprint made an elaborate entrance by emerging from the trees like a supermodel.

Bella stops in her tracks and blinks over at Tanya.

"T-Tanya?"

"Hello again, Isabella." Tanya smirks at Bella before walking over to me, sitting on my lap and giving me a soft kiss on the lips.

"Hey again Baby." She mutters against my lips.

Bella is just staring at us wide-eyed like her head is about to explode.

"Can someone, anyone, please tell me what the actual hell on Gods good Earth is going on?"

"Take a seat Bells, we've got some explaining to do." Tanya pats the ground in front of her like she's ordering a child.

Bella warily sits down.

"Can you tell me about the wolf please? Because I'm trying to kid myself into thinking it wasn't real but what the hell do I know anymore, I'm clearly loopy. Leah… you're a-a werewolf?"

Tanya just giggles at Bella's question.

I sigh. I'm not an effing werewolf.

It was time to tell Bella everything.
