Chapter 15

Keyria POV

It was a swirling vortex of color; the feelings that coursed through me were like nothing I had felt before. Emmett's hands burned their way along my skin as our lips melded together. My body was alight solely for him as we meshed our bodies together. His teeth grazed along my throat lightly before he bit me again, my nails digging deep into his arms.

He moaned deeply as he pushed me to the ground; thrusting inside me deeply as his fingers clawed into the earth beneath us. I bucked beneath him and rolled him onto his back, pinning his arms above his head as I bit his chest. I looked up at him and smiled.

"You're mine, remember? You do what I want when we're like this; and in return, you have control in everything else." I purred to him as I started a slow rhythm; pulsing my body around him as I rocked.

He groaned and bit his lip, struggling slightly against my hands.

"Ria, jesus you're killin' me. I'll do whatever you want, baby. Please." The passion was deep in his voice as he thrusted his hips against me.

A shock of ecstasy shivered through me and I felt my body tighten as he hit that delectably sweet spot. My eyes flew open and I felt a rumbling in my chest that I wasn't sure was a growl, a moan, or a purr. I lowered myself and my breasts pressed against his smooth, hard body.

"Right now, I want you to mark me in every way you can think of. I want every vampire that gets within ten miles of us to know who's woman I am. Do that, and I'll give you a reward later." I whispered the words against his lips as I released his arms.

He thrust himself deeply inside me once more, growling as he rolled himself on top of me. His fingers dug firmly into my skin as they trailed down my thighs. His teeth grazed along my throat, nibbling my earlobe.

"Wrap your legs around me. You're goin' for a ride, baby." His voice was gruff as I complied; the air whipping around us as he stood and pressed me into a large tree.

Just the movement was intense and my body was sent screaming to new heights as he lifted my body with every sharp stab. His nails bit into my hips as he drilled, soft screams pouring from my mouth. His lips found mine in a crushing kiss; biting my lower lip sharply as his dark, smoldering eyes locked onto mine.

"God I love it when you scream." He purred to me as one hand released my hip.

His fingers dove into my hair and he pulled sharply as he thrust once more; filling me completely as his teeth sank into my shoulder. He pulled out of me quickly, turning me around before my feet even touched the ground. I put my hands on the tree just to brace myself as he sank his length back deeply inside me.

"Jesus, Mac... It feels like... I'm gonna explode..." I panted softly between each of his deep, hard thrusts.

He growled as he moved faster, scratching his nails roughly down my spine. I heard him moaning as his arms wrapped around me, his lips at my ear once more.

"Come for me." His short command was punctuated with a deep bite on my neck.

His muffled groans matched my moaning screams as my fingers clawed into the tree. My body was responding to his words almost as fast as it did his touch. My muscles tightened around him, clenching him tightly and keeping him buried to the depth as I climaxed around him. Colors burst like fireworks in front of my eyes; the trees swirling around us as this euphoric high reached its peak.

"Emmett!" I screamed his name as he locked his body around me, his hot seed spilling inside me in bursts against that one sensitive spot in my womb.

It had a mind-numbing effect; the feeling of our releases melting together. My legs and feet were tingling as I shook, his body shivering against mine. He slowly pulled his teeth from my neck, licking over the marks slowly. Easing himself out of me, he lowered me to the ground gently. I turned to face him with dazed eyes, a satisfied smile fixed on my lips.

He smiled widely at me as he tipped my face up to his. He kissed me tenderly and stroked my cheek.

"Ria, I love you. That was amazing." His words filled my heart with even more love.

I was on him again before his fingers reached my chin.

Jasper POV

This day has been a total drain on my mind. Tryin' to get the little miss to focus on trainin' was a little harder than I though. Hopefully her suggestion would help; and if those surges I was gettin' from out behind the house was anything close to what she's had pent up, then I'd say it might be a couple of days for her to get it all settled.

Now I'm sittin' here starin' at someone I really didn't expect to see again. Not on a positive note, anyway.

"Rose, why exactly are you here? The Volturi already know that Bella is bein' changed soon after she graduates. And nothin' has changed with her and Eddie splittin' up, either. They agreed to it and it was settled quite peacefully. Now, tell us what your business here is or I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." I crossed my arms and waited.

I didn't particularly like surprises; and bein' surprised by someone tied to the Volturi after leavin' their family was even worse. She didn't look guilty of anything, but then again this was Rosalie we were dealin' with. She shifted in her seat and sighed.

"I didn't exactly choose to come here, you know. For some reason, the Volturi thought you would be more open with information if they sent me. Honestly, I'm glad to be away from them." She started off all fierce and hard; but her words were barely audible when she finished.

What I felt from her was horrible, and it almost reminded me of my time with Maria.

I relaxed a little and softened my tone.

"Rose, why did they send you?" I was straight with my question, but I kept my voice calm as I sent a little relaxation to her.

"Well I can tell you it isn't about Bella. They're biding their time on that matter. They sent me here to find out about the other one. They've already received news that you've adopted another one and were quite shocked she was still human. I take it she's newly turned since they still believe her to be alive?" There was an edge to her voice that actually brought a smile to my face.

Rose was jealous!

"I can't believe what I'm feelin' here, Rose; but I wouldn't have pegged you as the jealous type." I chuckled a little and she sneered at me.

I straightened myself and gave her an apologetic smile.

"Okay, sorry. Yes, she's newly turned, but she wasn't adopted like the rest of us. Apparently her family is related to Esme's at some point; and when her parents disappeared, she was sent here. That's really all there is to it. Why would they care about that?" I kinda knew why the Volturi would be concerned, but I really wanted to discover Rosalie's true allegiance.

"They care because they are terrified the Cullen's are going to become too powerful and overthrow them. Another reason I'm glad they sent me. They've actually talked about regulating coven sizes to ensure they remain in control by having the largest number." It was all complete honesty; somethin' I hadn't expected from her.

So the Volturi were afraid of somethin'; and naturally it concerned power.

"Key's gift ain't known to them. We didn't even know til she was here and it happened." Rose gave me a puzzled look which confirmed my thoughts.

"No, they didn't say she did but they assumed that she would. You are the only other coven so far that seems to collect members with gifts." She looked at me for a second; when no one spoke, she shifted slightly.

"If she does have a gift, and they find out about it, you can expect them to do something. Aro has his ways of finding out what he wants to know; you all know this." She gazed at everyone; her eyes heavy with a certain sadness I hadn't seen in a long time.

"So, what? You gonna run back and tell then everything they wanna know about me? That's why you're here, isn't it?" Key's voice broke through the sullen silence as she leaned against the doorway.

Emmett stayed behind her, but I'm not sure it was really by choice. They were both sportin' a few sets of matchin' bites and I could still feel some of the after effects; along with a little satisfaction from Key at Rose's reaction. I shifted a bit, waitin' for hell to break loose if Rose said the wrong thing.

"It was supposed to be, but I'm not going back. I can't tolerate what they do anymore. Actually, I'm using this as my excuse to leave them." Key was gonna say somethin', but when Esme gave her that look, she backed down.

"Where are you going to go? You know they are not simply going to let you leave. Carlisle left but they still watch him closely. They may not take your leaving like this as easily, either." Esme was in her concerned-mother mode, regardless of Rose's past actions.

"I'm not really sure just yet. I'm sure I can figure something out. I might go up to the Denali's." I could feel the uncertainty from her, but her face was as brave as ever.

"You are welcome to come back to us, if you like. We hold no grudge against you, and perhaps the Volturi would not react with such ferocity if you were to rejoin us." Esme made the offer before really thinkin' about it; or the consequences it could bring.

Key's face went blank and I felt a rush of anger from her as she looked from Rose to Esme.

Keyria POV

My nice, relatively comfy life has been turned upside down. I am now a vampire and I'm trying not to break everything I touch. I can't go anywhere yet until my human act gets better; and now my Emmett's ex is living with us.

I rolled to my side and let one finger trace idly around the fresh bite on his chest.

"I don't like it, Mac. I don't want her around you." I looked into his eyes and saw no sign of affection where she was concerned.

His face was blank and emotionless.

"I'm sorry, Ria; but I can't really tell Esme that she has to get rid of her. I'll be with you every second of every day, if I can. Besides, you're more fun anyway." He smiled as he leaned up to nip my ear.

I couldn't help but laugh as he rolled me on top of him. He was truly a sight to behold like this. His broad, muscly body naked and chiseled beneath my smooth, creamy legs. I undulated my hips and raised a brow with a smirk on my lips.

"You keep that up and you're gonna be late; and you know how Jaz is when you're late." Emmett's voice was all thick and husky, pulling at something deep inside me that made me want to ride him like an untamed bull in the wild.

But, he was right. As much as I wanted to strap him down and do whatever I wanted, it wouldn't really be worth the week's worth of ass-whippin's I was gonna get if I was late. I groaned and swung myself off him, darting quickly to our dresser.

"This freakin' sucks. Can't I call in sick or something?" I whined and stuck my bottom lip out. Emmett chuckled and shook his head, standing slowly as he stretched that god-like body slowly and with purpose.

"Sorry, babe. That would be a no. But, Jaz told me you'd actually like it today; if you're on time. He's got a little surprise for you." He had that panty-soaking smile on his face and I wished for a nanosecond that my gift had been to stop time.

"A surprise? And you wouldn't be willing to tell me what it is, would you?" I quirked my brows as I pulled my jeans on carefully; sucking in a breath as his fingers tickled along my skin as he fastened them.

"Not a chance, baby." He laughed and kissed my cheek quickly as he hooked my bra.

"Even if I told you you could do anything you wont to me later?" I whispered in his ear before he stepped back; his bottom lip between his teeth.

"As very tempting as that sounds, I still have to say no. You'll love it way too much for me to ruin it for you now." I pulled my t-shirt over my head and gave him a pouty face.

He just laughed and held up a pair of shoes. I shook my head.

"Nah, they'd just get messed up anyway. I kinda like doin' this barefoot, actually. Better traction." I giggled and trotted in place.

He barked out a chuckle and smacked my ass playfully out the door.

We joined everyone else and my smile faded; a low growl starting deep in my chest.

"What is she doing here, Jasper?" It ain't enough to have to live with her, but now she gets to watch you beat my ass too?" I leaned in close as I whispered with my eyes locked on the sneering blonde.

"Actually, Little Miss, I thought she could be your sparring partner today. You're still pretty rusty and she needs to get back into the swing of things." He gave me a slight wink as he moved away.

So this was my surprise? From that wink, and the way Emmett looked like he was gonna explode from trying not to laugh; I figured this wasn't just a training day. He was doing this on purpose. He knew I was getting better with my fighting, so he must have told her I wasn't very good so she would agree.

That's when it dawned on me. Of course! Jasper's giving me a free chance to put her in her place without it being obvious!

I smiled at him quickly then shrugged my shoulders.

"Alright, bubby. You're the boss. So, when are we gonna start?" I tried to keep my face as normal as possible.

"Whenever you like, Little Miss. As long as Rose is good to go." Jasper nodded to both of us and moved to the side; standing rather close to a now-blushing Bella.

The smell was still horrible, but thankfully I could push it to the back of my mind.

Rose raised her perfect little brows at me and I nodded with a smile.

She bared her teeth and lunged straight for me; mistake number one. I pranced prettily out of her way, twisting quickly as I grabbed the back of her shirt and jerked her down to the ground. She grunted loudly and flipped herself back to her feet, sending me skidding away from her slightly.

I growled when her eyes darted to Emmett and I went for her. She threw her arms out, ready to stop me before I could get her down. But right before I got close to her, I dropped to the ground and slid right between her legs. I jumped up behind her and threw her face-down on the ground; straddling her back as I took one hand and balled it into her hair.

"You'd better listen very carefully, Rose, cause I'd hate to see what would happen if you don't." I bent close to her face, holding her body beneath mine.

"Stay the hell away from my mate. I swear to whatever that if I even think you're thinking about him, I'll rip your arms and legs off and ship them to opposite corners of the Earth. If you look in his direction, your pretty blue eyes will become my favorite pair of earrings. And if you're stupid and lucky enough to actually touch him, the flames that turn your body into ash will keep us warm that night." I pulled back on her head, smashing it with all my strength into the ground.

"Make myself clear, princess?" I asked her sweetly, just starting to remove myself from her when something smacked into me and sent me sailing into the trees.

"What the fuck was that? Someone is gonna die if I don't hear some damn explaining!" I rushed back through the trees, being grabbed quickly and crushed against Emmett's body as he crouched around me.

Jasper had Bella behind him as he growled and I peeked out from under Mac's arm to see what was going on. There was a man helping Rose to her feet as he looked at all of us; a low growl rumbling in his chest. Jasper, of course, was the first of us to make a move for him. He didn't try attacking the strange vampire though; he just moved slowly toward him. Almost like he was trying not to scare him or something. A soft rustle brought attention to Carlisle and Esme's presence; and they were the only ones smiling so far.

"Eleazar, I'm glad to see you've made it so quickly. However, would you mind letting your friend there know that we are all friends here? I don't want my children being harmed simply from a lack of communication." Carlisle smiled warmly at the man as they embraced each other quickly.

"Of course, Carlisle. Dominik, please. These are our friends; they are the ones I needed your help with. They train and spar often; but there is no threat here between them." Eleazar spoke softly and the man regarded him closely for a second before relaxing.

He pulled Rose close to him though, and she was smiling ear to ear.

"Forgive me, Eleazar. I was simply surprised to see a human having the upper hand against a vampire. Of course, upon seeing this lovely creature and feeling I had found my mate; I acted instinctively, thinking she was in real danger. Why didn't you tell me this human of theirs had strength to match our own?" Well, that would explain his over-protectiveness of Rose, wouldn't it?

A soft wave of laughter broke our from everyone and Dominik looked even more puzzled. I untangled myself from my Emmett robe and moved closer, keeping my own mate at my heel.

"Sorry, Dom. They ain't laughin' at you, I promise. I'm not a human. Haven't been for a little bit now, but I know I kinda look like it. It's my gift. I guess now we really know how good it is, too. I'm Keyria, by the way." I smiled softly at him as he relaxed further and grinned.

He loosened his grip on Rose, but she didn't move anywhere. This was the nomad that had the same problem with humans I did. Which meant we were going to be one step closer to getting me back to some type of relative normalcy. Provided, of course, that Rose and Dominik could stop ogling each other long enough.

Not that I wasn't ogling a certain bulky, Norse god myself.

A/N: There it is, folks. I do hope you enjoy it and of course, let me know what you think!
