"Sister?" Tanya asked sitting straight up in Leahs lap as she stared at her sister wide eyed alongside the other vampires.

"Tanya you know what things were like back when all five of us were still human. Women were married off as young as fourteen, and I was already 23 when you two and mom found me." Irina said smiling slightly sadly at her eldest sister who nodded in understanding and seemed to look rather glum as she remembered those days.

"Back when we were all still human…most women were simply objects for men. They were sold off to either a husband or a brothel for their parents or oldest brothers profit. If they were lucky enough then they were not sold off and instead courted properly, others were merely arranged to be wed to the highest up person in the food ladder that their parents or brother could manage. Some would be put up as prizes in fights, the winner gets the girl as you would say." Eleazer explained gently to the teens, making the two girls growl in anger at this while Seth was confused.

"But why? Girls are just as good if not better than guys. Hell anything I can do Leah can do in high heels! Bella probably could too if she wasn't so clumsy. And what's a brothel?" Seth asked confused and causing the women to giggle or snicker a bit at the part about high heels.

"A brothel is what is now called a whore house." Tanya muttered softly, wincing as she said the words. She hated her past, despite being a Succubus she didn't lie with anyone that moved or propositioned her. She actually made sure they were either bad people who no one would mind being killed, or she made sure that they were good people who she refrained from killing. She genuinely liked a good many of the people she had slept with during her Succubus days.

"That really sucks." Seth said crinkling his nose and causing Kate to give a small snort.

"Yes it did and most of the women who were stuck in there became really good at that." Kate said wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.

"Kate!" Irina snarled, noticing Tanya flinch ever so slightly and curl into Leah more. Spotting Tanya's reaction made Kate wince and look apologetic.

"What a horrible thing to say about those who didn't have a choice." Bella said glaring at Kate who winced again and looked even more sheepish and apologetic.

"I was just trying to lighten the mood and didn't think first. I'm so sorry Tanya, you know I didn't mean it." Kate said moving over to her older sister and taking one of her hands, rubbing her cheek against it and purring slightly apologetically.

"I know you didn't Kate but today…it's one of my bad days and talking about it brought up some things I'd rather forget." Tanya said smiling slightly at her sister while Leah stiffened as she tightened her arms around Tanya.

"You were forced into one of those awful places?" Leah asked softly, worriedly as she held Tanya close.

"It's not as straightforward as it seemed. I had been married off at age of sixteen to a blacksmith, he died shortly after our daughter turned five so I was forced to move back in with my father who had fallen into debt. To settle his debt he either had to pay with me or my daughter since we were the only females in the family and he had no money. I…I couldn't let them take my baby girl to be raised in a whore house so I offered myself in her place. They agreed, after all I was older and my husband had already 'broken me in' as it were and it wasn't likely that I would have fallen pregnant again…although that last bit was proven to be false when I gave birth to twin boys a year after having been in that…occupation. I couldn't let them be raised in that kind of environment so I spirited them away to my father to be raised alongside my daughter. Before I lost track of them due to plagues and wars, my daughter had been able to get married to a kind and caring man while my sons were strong young men in the army with children of their own." Tanya explained tears welling up in her eyes and causing Leah to growl, which made Tanya flinch and bow her head thinking that her mate no longer wanted her.

"I swear if I was able to go back in time I'd rip apart your father for falling so far into debt that he had to sell you or your child. I don't blame you Tan, and I could never hate you, I just hate what you had to go through." Leah said softly when she felt her mate flinch, letting out a rumbling purr sound as she nuzzled Tanya's hair. The purr caused Tanya to relax a little bit and made her sisters watch in amusement and a bit of disbelief as their fearless leader calmed down and snuggled closer to Leah, purring a little after a moment of getting comfortable.

"Well at least now there's someone able to help Tanya through her bad days more than Irina and I ever could." Kate said smiling at the sight of the two purring super naturals before glaring up at Leah.

"You may be my older sisters mate and my mate's older sister but I swear if you don't take good care of my sister I'm going to show you a whole new meaning for the word 'fear'. Do you understand me?" Kate asked her voice almost a hiss as she glared at Leah who looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

"I understand where you're coming from but by her being my imprint, it automatically means that I won't and can't hurt her. Her being my imprint means that I'll be whatever she needs me to be, whether that's a friend, sibling, protector, confidante or lover it doesn't matter. I'll do anything to make her happy and be whatever I need to be." Leah said calmly as she held Tanya close, gently kissing the smaller womans forehead and not looking away from Kate for one second.

"Aww aren't you sweet." Tanya cooed jokingly to Leah, leaning up to kiss her jaw which made Leah grin goofily and hold her close. Seth and Bella were snickering as they saw Leah's goofy grin from a simple kiss to the jaw.

"I wish I had my camera right now. Leah is never going to live this down." Seth said snickering and making Bella nod in agreement before looking at her brother confused.

"Seth why didn't you tell us you imprinted on Kate?" Bella asked confused and causing everyone to freeze as they all looked at her.

"But I didn't imprint on Kate?" Seth asked more than said as he looked at his sister confused.

"She said that Leah was her older sisters mate, and her mates older sister. Leah only has two siblings and that's the two of us. Since I know it can't be me, she must mean that you're her mate." Bella said looking confused while Leah nearly groaned aloud as she glared at Kate, who was looking startled and a bit put out at this.

"Well she doesn't mean me. Why can't she be your mate?" Seth asked looking at his sister confused. Her next comment had most of the Denali's passed, Irina actually roared in anger, while Kate rushed over and gathered the girl in her arms trying to purr to sooth her while Leah and Seth both growled.

"Oh please. After what happened with Dickward and how plain I am I doubt anyone would want me, much less be stuck with me. Remember? He told me that I'm not good enough to be anyone's mate, only a distraction."
