Chapter 1
LPOV
"Love is a funny yet magical thing,
It's something one craves, it's something
one hates. And it's something that can
change lives. But now, my craving can't
satisfied. My hatred of it has intensified daily.
And it did change my life...it'll change yours
as well.

Carefully, I slipped the piece of parchment back into the envelope and pulled out two pictures in it's place. One photo was of Seth and I walking along one of the many trails lined around the park, enjoying each others company. The other, was a moment taken from one of Azzy and Mason's many Sunday night park strolls. They were sitting on a park bench just watching the children in wonder while they conversed amongst themselves. What caught my eye though was the shiny gleam from the sterling silver engagement ring that Mason had taken the liberty to give to her two weeks ago(silver, thin band, small circle cut diamond, absolutely beautiful).
Placing the pictures back into the envelope I thought about all that had happened in the last year. I'm now a vampire(eighteen forever people!), I'm now married to Seth and I have the best family in the world. On top of that, Mason finally popped the question to Azzy last month and I couldn't be happier. They are now in their sophomore year of college, sharing an apartment and both handling the stress of school, jobs, and a solid relationship. They're obviously still growing strong for they had made a pact to always remember what is important to them. They put mine and Seth's relationship to shame(not really but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt).
Blake and Leah are the freaking cutest thing in the history of the flippin' universe! They are now living together in Port Angeles where Leah is working as day care worker and Blake is studying to be a mechanic so him and Leah can open their own garage and settle down. Blake and I talk all the time for he knows everything so I don't have to hide anything from him. We hang out together just the two of somethings to relish in the memories of our lives from back in Portland and now sometimes we'll bring Azzy along and have some good ol' fashion fun.
"Lily! Come on, Seth will be here soon and I still need to get you ready!" My lovely sister, Alice, called from her room downstairs effectively bringing me from my thoughts.
Shaking my head at my sister's antics, I slid the two pictures back into the envelope and placing the envelope into the small cherry wood box that held all of the letters I had received from Melina and locked it before placing the key in my art bag and running downstairs.
"Alright, here I am!" I giggled, sitting on the pink desk chair, "I am your Barbie doll for the next thirty minutes. Do what you want just don't go over board or I will hunt you down like last weeks breakfast."
"Thirty?" she gasped, tossing the small pile of clothes that had resided on the bed at me.
"Yep" I chirped, "Like you said, Seth will be here soon and I don't want him to wait for a hour and a half because I'm still getting my hair done. So, release the inner all-mighty pixie powers that I know you have and I know you can accomplish this!"
Shoving me in the bathroom, she groaned, "Just change already!"
The next twenty-five minutes were spent with Alice and Rosalie adjusting my dress, curling my hair, fixing my makeup and doing god knows what else to me as I waited patiently for the torment to end.
"And, finished!" Rosalie cheered as she removed her hand from it's position on my arm to keep me from not only slaughtering my pixie of a sister, but not ruin my look by moving.
Alice twirled the chair away from it's spot in front of the vanity mirror and I popped up from the bright pink chair and stood in front of the full-length mirror inspecting my outfit for the night.
She dressed me in a purple plaid dress with a thick black strip at the waist, a black lace shrug, black Mary Janes with a small one inch heel and of course my Cullen crest necklace, charm bracelet, and my wedding rings. My hair was done in loose curls and the left was as always pinned back with a simple black rose hair clip and the only shred of make up on me was a simple stroke of lip gloss, a bit of blush and a little bit of eye make up.
"Fantastic job as always, Alice. Now unless I'm being a crazed wife-don't even go there-I believe I hear my Seth downstairs. So, bye!" I giggled before bolting downstairs into the awaiting arms of my wonderful husband.
Neither of us spoke as gold met brown, his arms pulled me closer into his embrace before his warm lips caressed mine gently. All sensible thoughts flew out the window as the kiss slowly progressed from slow and sweet to an full battle for dominance in the sea of overflowing passion. It's funny, no matter how many times I kissed him, only one thought ran through my head each time...He is all mine...ha!. As much as it pained me, we had to pull away because even though I'm able to hold my breath for long periods of time, Seth wasn't. That didn't stop us from the many thoughts going off in our heads as we rested our foreheads against one another.
"Well hello my love. Miss me?" Seth smirked, giving me one last chaste kiss before leading me out the door before my brothers found us and initiate the consequences of not following 'the rules'.
I smirked right back like the smug childish vampire girl I am, "I don't know, did you miss me?"
"More than you'll ever know" He said, his voice filled with sincerity as we got into the car we bought a few months back.
As Seth drove down the road away from our home, my thoughts centered around the one subject of the day. Mine and Seth's anniversary. The biggest milestone of our just blooming relationship and I still can't believe it's been one whole year!
This past year has been just amazing. I mean I know I've already said that but it's worth repeating considering I haven't said anything regarding my family. For instance, I had learned so much more from my family like the piano from Edward, the wars from Jasper, medicine and how to control my healing abilities from my father, gardening and some more cooking skills from my mother, shopping tips and how to tease a guy without mercy from my ever so lovely sisters, Alice and Rosalie, suggestions on good books and other things from Bella, how not to tick off a wolf from Nessie along with a few other unmentionable things-shush!-and I even learned some self defense from the guys, also known as my wolf, Seth and the knuckle head known as Jacob. I've spent some well needed family time and some friend time. I even put on an art show under a different name-Blake and Seth's idea-featuring not only some of my works but some of Azzy and Blake's as well. On a even happier note, I've had a lot of well deserved alone time with Seth-use your imagination you little nasties and fill in the blank. All in all, it was fantastic year and there's only more to come, I hope.
"We're here!" Seth announced as we pulled into the First Beach parking lot.
After getting out of the car, I was met by the huge mass of sandy gray fur that is my husband. I climbed on his back with a grin and he took off in the direction of our clearing.
'You look beautiful by the way' Seth's voice filled my mind and I instantly became mush at how smooth it sounded.
"And you look very handsome in both in wolf form and in human form" I stated, taking in the glory that is my wolf running in the breeze.
Sense Seth was a relatively fast runner, we made it to the clearing in record timing. Our clearing was still as amazing as the first day Seth brought me here on our first date after the bonfire down on First Beach. The trees still kept the clearing enclosed in a perfect circle, the multicolored flowers still scattered beautifully across the grass and the small opening in the trees where you could see the stars for long periods of time was still existent. New to the marvelous scene in front me, though, was a large picnic blanket with a small picnic basket that sat on top of the blanket. Among the basket, were two large bean bag chairs, one blue and one purple.
"Bean bags, very original" I grinned, pointing to the two chairs before finding my spot on the dark purple one.
Seth's chuckle filled the air as he sat opposite of me on the blue chair, "Well you know, we aren't your typical couple so why not be different?"
We sat on our bean bags, Seth eating the small dinner he packed while I watched him, because for some reason, he is mesmerizing to watch as he scarfs down his food. Gazing upon the food Seth had packed, I knew he had had Esme cook this for his cooking skills weren't the best. Oh Esme's cooking, how I missed it but now that I was a vampire and along with the intensified strength, hearing and speed, came my sense of smell being extra sensitive towards food and make it smell absolutely horrid. I like to think of it as a small price to pay for spending eternity with my Seth and protecting my family from harm.
"Lily?" Seth's voice jostled me out of my thoughts. I turned towards him as he gestured for me to join him on his cozy looking dark blue bean bag, to which I happily obliged to with a bright grin.
We snuggled close together gazing up at the magnificent view of the the brightly shinning moon and the dancing stars, each of us enjoying each others company. Quietly and carefully, I reached into my bag and took out the neatly wrapped package.
"Happy anniversary, mi queirdo" I handed him the present with a grin.
He took the gift in his hands and carefully unwrapped it. There amongst the wrappings was a small 5X7 frame that held a picture I had drawn to resemble the photograph that resided in his wallet. The picture, I believe, was taken when Seth and Leah were little and their father was still very much alive. His father-who Seth seemed to resemble greatly in his features-stood tall and proud next to his wife, with his arm wrapped around her small frame. Both his parents smiling wide and full of happiness while his mother's right hand sat on the little girl's-Leah's-shoulder and his father's left hand sat on top of little Seth's shoulder. In front of the happy couple, Leah stood almost as tall as her mother, her hair was down to her waist, but pinned back into a braid held together by a ribbon. Her eyes were bright and filled with happiness that up until recently was only a rarity, and she smiled wildly. Seth, though stood just below Leah's shoulder, his dark hair in need of a hair cut as it hung in his bright chocolate eyes that held a gleam of childlike innocence, and of course, being as young as he was in this photo, he smiled his wide toothy grin, showing off his missing front teeth-I like to believe he spoke with an adorable lisp. Overall, the picture was a sweet family portrait that I loved out of the two in the wallet-the other one was taken at his mother's second wedding with Bella's father, Charlie, and let's just say that there is huge difference in Leah's expressions and well, I thought this was a better interpretation of Leah's character.
"Lily" He breathed, stroking the glass carefully, "How?"
I shrugged, "I found the picture in your wallet, do you like it?"
Instead of a reply, I received a passionate kiss that I can happily assure you was not a yes, but hell yes.
"Thank you so much, it's beautiful and of course I don't like it. I love it. Just like I love you" He gave me one more chaste kiss before reaching behind the bean bag and pulled out a small white bag with pink tissue paper sticking up, "Happy anniversary, My Lily"
Beaming, I removed the tissue paper to reveal my stuffed wolf, Wolfy, that Seth got me for my sixteenth birthday. Wrapped around Wolfy's neck was a new blue ribbon with a small charm attached to it. The charm was beautiful. It was a purple half sphere with two silver tulips twirled up only to be attached by a small loop for it to connect to my bracelet.
"Oh my Seth, it's beautiful! Thank you so much, I love it!" I flung myself into Seth's arms and assaulted him with numerous kisses.
After parting, Seth helped me attach my new charm to my bracelet where it would forever reside with my other charms(My mother's rose charm, my Cullen crest charm, and my Quileute charm).
Snuggling back in his embrace, I sighed, "Can you believe it's already been a whole year?"
He rested his head on top of mine, "Hmm, it feels just like yesterday I was awaiting you at the end of the alter thinking how my life was about to be completed"
I grinned, "And I was thinking about how for once in my life, I was finally getting my happily ever after"
He tightened his hold on me as he buried his face in the crook of my neck, taking in my scent, "Hmm and after the best year of our lives, I can officially say we did get our happily ever after. There are so many words to describe how I'm feeling, I'm so happy, no, I'm overjoyed, heck there are so many other words, but there is only one word that can describe you"
"And what is that?" I asked, running my hand through his soft black hair.
"Mine" he growled, giving my neck a small kiss.
I giggled, "Yep, all yours and your all mine. No one, absolutely no one is going to change that. Ever."
"Precisely, no one is taking you away from me. Not jealous men, not jealous women, not anyone. And especially not Melina." I froze for a quick second, then nodded.
Have I forgot to mention that Seth knows nothing about the letters? Yes? *sighs* Thought so.
