.

"Are we holding you up?" Alejandro smirked.

Loveless glared at him softly. "Watch it."

He chuckled.

"Sorry! Mrs. Carlson wouldn't let me go!" Claire exclaimed. "I didn't think she need to speak that long after last class." She shook her head. "I thought it would be quick."

"let's go!" Loveless exclaimed. Loveless paused as she listened to a group of girls passing by.

"Did you see his car!"

"Car? Did you see the guy!"

Loveless smirked. James. "Later guys!" She squealed and made a bee line out of the school.

The other students watched in shock and amazement as Loveless practically ran out of the school.

She grinned brightly as she spotted the elder male. She picked up more speed and launched herself at him. Loveless giggled and wrapped James up in a bear hug. "Oh, God I missed you!" Her arms around his neck - legs around his waist.

He grunted under the sudden force and let the car stabilize them both. James chuckled softly and wrapped his arms around her. "I missed you to Lovely." He whispered in her ear. James squeezed her tight before placing her back on her own feet. "Small town? Everyone is staring." He cocked his head to the side. "Or is this the first time they ever heard you squeal?"

Loveless pouted and smacked his chest softly. "Meanie!"

"Sometimes." James chuckled and pulled her into another hug.

Loveless cooed and burrowed against his firm chest. "It's so boring without you in my life!"

James snorted. "Everything is lame if I'm not there." An over-abundance of self-confidence was laced in his deep voice.

"Ha," She rolled her eyes. Loveless pulled back slightly, resting her head on his shoulder. "Vic?"

James pouted. "Still back home. Some loose ties to finish up first." His lips pursed. "Vic should be here late tonight or early tomorrow."

Loveless squealed. "So where are we going?"

James shrugged. "My place?" He wiggled his eyebrows.

"Oh," Loveless giggled and slapped his shoulder. She paused. "Your place? Your not renting?"

James smirked. "You'll have to wait. If I tell you everything and spoil it for Vic . . . I'll sleep on the couch till the end of my life."

Loveless giggled. True . . . but what could the surprise be?

.

"Who is that?" She frowned as her eyes narrowed, she wanted to be closer.

Edward twisted in the direction Bella was looking in. His brows furrowed. "I don't know."

Bella frowned. "You can't read him either?" What is going on? Is Edward becoming weak?

"Really?"Emmett chuckled and smacked Edward on the back. "loosing your touch oldman?"

Edward glared. "Devon can you get anything?"

Devon looked up from his phone. He turned and stared at the male. His brows connected slightly as they furrowed. "There's a connection. A deep connection."

"What's that mean?" Bella questioned.

Edward placed a hand on her lower back and guided her towards the car. "Not only can he manipulate emotions like Jasper and Jane . . . he can feel them. He can feel the emotional link between two people."

"Oh?" Bella glanced at Devon. "Can you tell what kind of emotional link they have?"

Devon shook his head. "It's hard since I can't read her." His lips pursed as he glanced back at the couple. "All I can say is . . . He's not human."

Bella's eyes widened. Not human? Her brows furrowed. That's impossible. "Then what is he?"

Devon shrugged. "Don't know - Powerful. " His eyes narrowed as he tried once again to get a read on the male. "He's very powerful."

Edward frowned. "More so than the Vulturi?" He shook his head. Impossible. He continued to sift through Devon's thoughts. "That doesn't make since." His brows furrowed and his lips pursed.

Devon shrugged. "You don't feel him, Edward. He's powerful - and it isn't dormant power. It's all active." Devon's honeyed orbs swirled as he tapped into the link shared between the two once more. And once again falling short. "He's too powerful for me - if he's hiding something I wouldn't know."

Bella pouted. That wasn't helpful. Well, slightly. Bella's head cocked to the side. I wonder just how powerful. . . If he's more powerful than the Vulturi. . . She smiled.

. . .

Loveless smiled brightly. "Let's go," She whined.

James chuckled. "Cool it!" He laughed and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. Pulling her flush against his side. "You've gotten curvier since out last bodily meeting." He wiggled his eyebrows. He smirked boyishly.

She grinned. Her arms wrapped around his waist. Loveless rubbed against him playfully. "I look good huh?" She wiggled her eyebrows.

James's grin morphed in to a predator like smile. "Good enough . . . better in my bed." He winked.

.

Bella frowned as she watched Edward freeze. His eyes widened as he glanced back at the other two. "What? What did you hear?" Her lips pursed. She crossed her arms and pouted as he replied with 'They are just talking."

Rosalie's shoulders slumped. Here she goes. Her eyes narrowed as Edward growled at her. Rosalie glared. You know I'm right!

"Edward," Bella whined. Her hands fanned the air. "What did they say?"

Edward heaved a human sigh. "They are just talking."

"I don't talk to Alice like that,"Emmett smirked. "More like they are sexing." He wiggled his eyebrows while sending a smoldering gaze towards Rosalie.

Edward's face twisted as images passed through his brother and sisters minds. "Guys!" He shook his head. "I don't want to see that."

"Sorry," Emmett smirked. He wasn't really sorry.

Bella yanked on Edward's sleeve. "Pay attention! Are they together?" Her eyes were wide in fake innocence.

Edward shrugged. "It's hard to tell. We can't read their minds."

Bella gave a jerky nod. That was not the answers she wanted.

. .

Loveless laughed brightly. "I like the outfit too. Vic chose it?"

James smirked. "I do look good don't I?" He was dressed in black skinny jeans, a deep blue and white striped silk dress shirt - tucked in, a plane white belt, and Adidas canvas high dark blue and white shoes. It was the normal James look.

Loveless snorted. He was such an ego guy. "James~" She whined.

"Spoil sport." James heaved a sigh. "Fine, let's go get something to eat. Where too?"

Loveless pursed her lips. "There's a sad excuse for a dinner two blocks from here . . . Forks is small - not that many restaurants." She shrugged. "I've been told that Sue's Diner in La Push is better," her eyes narrowed as she trailed off. "But I'm not sure where the house is."

James nodded. "Would you rather go to Port?"

"No, not this time." Loveless shook head. "I'll wait till Vic and I drag you shopping."

James groaned. "Now that just unfair."

"So?" Loveless skipped to her side of the car and waited for him to open the door. "Today low life."

James arched an eyebrow. "Forgive me, my eminence." He bowed dramatically and opened the door.

"Yes," Loveless heaved a sigh as she melted against the buttery leather. "This time only low life."

James snorted. An affectionate smile on his lips. Only Loveless.

.

"Wow, Vic would rather wear pink then come in here." James smirked. He shook his head. It was going to be interesting with Vic here.

Loveless snorted. "I know!" She whispered. "You should have "kidnapped" me when you had the chance."

James chuckled and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Alright. Either they haven't seen someone as good looking as me . . . or its you."

Loveless glared. "Most of them go to my school. They are like vultures!" She exclaimed while letting James steer her to a booth. She slid in and watched at James slid in across from her.

"Okay so who are the overly white people over there?" James questioned while obviously pointing at them.

Loveless glanced over. Her nose scrunched. "That is Isabella Swan and her followers." She growled out. A sneered adorned her face as her lip curled up in disgust.

James arched a brow. "Relation?"

"Therapist - they've talked." Loveless snarled once more. "Isabella is named after her dear aunt Annabella." She sneered both names, neither held any respect form her.

James scowled. Bitch. "So, what is my Lovely going to eat?"

Loveless rolled her eyes. "A cheeseburger with fries, a sprite, and a slice of apple pie." She grinned cheekily and waited for his approval.

James smiled. "That's my girl." His smile disappeared as he looked at the booth over her shoulder. "And the group of steroid induced, very hormonal, overly tanned group over there is?"

Loveless frowned and twisted. She groaned and slouched as she turned. "Fucking Natives." She hissed. Her hands curled into fists. They ARE EVERYWHERE!

James arched a brow once more. "Lovely . . . so are you."

Loveless scowled. "I'm less annoying - more tolerable. Besides I'm not one of them." She hissed.

"Relation?" James questioned with a cock of his head.

"Uley." She sneered the word as if it had actually left a nauseatingly bitter taste on her tongue.

James chuckled. "Be nice Lovely."

Loveless pouted. "I don't wanna~" She whined. She was tired of playing nice. It wasn't in her nature. And by Heavens! She shouldn't have to!

.

Embry frowned. "Wow she really doesn't like us."

Jacob rolled his eyes. "No shit." He snorted and rolled his eyes once more - stupid.

Embry scowled and glared at the other. "I mean I know there was an extreme dislike . . . but damn. That was frigid - dry ice dipped in acid, frigid."

"She likes me!" Seth exclaimed. He grinned cutely and did a little dance.

The others rolled there eyes.

"Wrong." Jacob shook his head. "She tolerates you."

Seth pouted. Meanie.

Embry rolled his eyes. "I wanna know why she eat full course meals for him . . . so easily. While Paul has to bribe with apple pie."

Paul growled. His hands clenched into fists as they began to shake.

"Boss...you gonna be okay?" Brady asked. His dark brown eyes caught every shiver as he shook.

Paul grunted out a reply - inhuman.

Jacob raised an eyebrow. "Dude, I've got just as good hearing as the next wolf . . . but even I didn't understand that."

Jared smirked. "He said he's fine." He was the Beta...for a reason. He had always been able to understand the Alpha. Which was a good thing.

Paul frowned. He didn't like how close they were. His wolf didn't like it either.

Quil frowned. "There's something different about him."

Jared nodded. "You noticed too?"

Paul begrudgingly tore his eyes away from his imprint and glared at his pack. "Speak."

Quil flinched slightly. It didn't have to be an alpha order for him to feel the force of the word. "I'm not sure, but . . ." His brows furrowed. "There's something off."

Jared nodded and noticed Paul began to shake more. "No, no. We don't mean like he'll hurt her, just off."

Paul relaxed slightly. His dark brown eyes went back to Loveless.

.

Edward heaved a small sigh. "Bella, we shouldn't be eavesdropping."

Bella waved him off. "I just want to get to know her." She stared up at him using her puppy eyes. "Can't I make a new friend?"

Emmett snorted. "She doesn't want to get to know you."

Bella glared. "Don't be rude. She's just shy." She replied indignantly.

Rosalie arched a perfectly shaped eyebrow. Shy? Bitchy - yeah. Shy - no. What is with Bella recently . . . it's like she's . . . she's different.

Edward frowned slightly as he listened to Rosalie's thoughts. It was true. The other had never come off shy. Cold and cruel. But never shy. He glanced down at the human in front of him. What is she thinking?

"I'm gonna go see Jacob." Bella smiled and patted Edward's hand. "I'll be back."

Edward nodded and watched as she left. His eyes turned back to James. He didn't like them. His Bella was fixated on James and Loveless, not him. He didn't like that.

.

"Oh God," Embry groaned. "Bella is coming over."

Jacob heaved a sigh and dropped his head onto the table. "Not here."

Quil snorted. "Like that is going to hide a 6 foot seven inch werewolf." He muttered under his breath. "You need to fucking imprint already. I'm tired of her hanging around - she still thinks you love her."

Jacob kicked the other and shifted to glare at him.

"Hey guys!" Bella smiled and tucked a strand of brown hair behind her ear. "You haven't been answering my calls Jakey . . . is everything okay?" She blinked innocently.

Jacob heaved a small sigh. "I've been busy." He watched as she pouted. Jacob cocked his head to the side. I use to think that was cute? "What'cha need Bella?"

"I just wanted to know how much Nicole knows about the pack." Bella blinked innocently and smiled at a glaring Paul.

"How is that your business. . . leech-lover." Paul sneered.

Bella smiled. "I just thought we could share info."

The pack frowned.

"What info?" Jared - being of fit body and more level headed mind - questioned.

Bella tsked.

Jacob frowned. "Either you tell us or you leave."

"Well," Bella returned to pouting. "You're not any fun." She heaved a dramatic sigh. "Her little friend . . . He's not human." She smiled and wiggled her fingers in the form of a wave before sauntering back to her table.

Paul snarled deeply in the back of his throat. "I'm gonna rip that leech-loving, cock sucking, necrophiliac bitch to pieces."

The pack flinched.

.

Loveless heaved a small sigh. "Can we get it to go?" She gave him her best puppy eyes.

"Really?" He heaved a dramatic sigh. James rolled his eyes. "Fine. Let's go to the counter."

She smiled brightly. "Imma go use the restroom."

"Kay," James nodded. "Stay safe."

Loveless rolled her eyes. "It's a bathroom, Jame."

A smiled that crooked smile. "Hurry back baby."

She blew him a kiss and sauntered off.

"Hi!"

James twisted slightly. His nose scrunched as he breathed in. She smells like them. "Hello."

"I'm Isabella Swan. Are you a friend of Nicole's?" Bella smiled brightly. "Everyone calls me just Bella."

James arched an eyebrow. Lovely calls you Bitch . . . not Bella. "Go back to your pale friends."

"Um," Bella frowned. Why did he call them pale? Does he know? "I just wanted to get to know you. . ." She used her puppy eyes. "make a new friend."

James coughed out a laugh. "I have friends." His stomach turned. Acid. She smelled like rotting flesh covered in acid. She needed to leave.

"Always room to make more." Bella smiled. She egged and cajoled.

James turned back to the counter and took the bag and his change from the waitress. "I'm leaving."

Bella pouted. "Already." She blinked. Why wasn't her charm working. It always worked.

James nodded. "I go where Nicole wants to go." It was as simple as that.

"So you're her boyfriend from the city?" Bella questioned. Brown orbs wide and hungry for gossip.

"Jay! Let's go." Loveless called from the entrance of the dinner. She glared at the back of Bella's head. The Bella-Bitch needed to learn her place. And it wasn't anywhere near her James.

James smirked. "Later Darlin'." He tipped his head in Bella's direction before leaving.

Bella pouted. That was useless, but he was a twang . . . Her lips pursed. She trudged back to her seat next to Edward. "The only thing I learned was that he has and accent like yours . . . Jazz."

Jasper nodded. "I heard."

"I think that might really be her boyfriend. He was vague, but the things he said." Bella's lips pursed as she thought.

Rosalie frowned. "Why would it matter?"

"Rose!" Bella glared at the other momentarily. "I just wanted to make friends. Edward why is she always so mean to me?!" She turned with shimmering orbs to her boyfriend.

Edward glared at Rosalie.

Rosalie scoffed. You know as well as I, it was just a question.

Edward gave a curt nod in acknowledgement. What was going on with his little Bella?

. . .

"I heard you use the twang." Loveless cracked a fake smile in the car. She bristled slightly. Her hands clenched into fists.

James nodded. He glanced at the girl beside him. "You okay darlin'?"

"Yeah." Loveless nose scrunched and she rubbed her chest. "It's like I have heartburn or something. I'm shaking too."

James's lips pursed. "Is this the first time?"

"Sorta, not as strong as this before." Loveless shook her head. "Though, it didn't start until I came to live here. Maybe God is telling me I don't belong here."

James chuckled. Not even close my Lovely. Not even close.

Alright my lovely readers. I have developed more of the minor characters. Escpecially Bella. Whatcha think? Can you tell what Bella wants?
