"Yuki…Onna?" Bella asked furrowing her brow, something about that name called to her. It was like something inside of her recognized that name and was bouncing around excitedly.
"Yes and don't worry, being excited at first hearing the name is normal for any Ice Spirit, especially one of our family. It is what we're called in Japan after all so technically it's like learning our name for the first time and understanding it." Irina said smiling over at Bella who nodded slightly in understanding before glancing up at Kate who was still nuzzling her and purring.
"Um…are you high on something?" Bella asked confused and curious and making everything stop, even Kate's purring and nuzzling. Bella instantly went red when she realized that she had asked that out loud.
"Vampires can't get high. Why do you ask?" Kate asked after staring at Bella for a second in confusion.
"I didn't mean to say that out loud… You kept purring, it sounded like Leah did when Seth slipped her cat nip once." Bella said quietly, knowing that everyone would still hear her loud and clear.
"I still have the video of that somewhere." Seth said instantly snickering as he remembered his sister high on cat nip. Leah blushed but scowled darkly as she glared at her siblings who both were snickering by now.
"I thought I destroyed that!" Leah snarled glaring at Seth who gave her a grin as he held his hands up in surrender.
"You destroyed some copies that Bells made. We still have the original and no less than four copies." Seth said causing Leah to glare at Bella now who giggled slightly as she looked at her sister.
"You didn't think I'd let you get rid of prime blackmail material like that did you?" Bella asked causing all the vampires to freeze before Kate began grinning while Irina giggled and Tanya, Carmen, and Eleazer groaned. Laurent just rested his head n Irina's shoulder with a snicker of amusement.
"Great you're Irina's mini-me in all but looks." Tanya groaned as she rested her head on Leah's shoulder, causing the teens to blink and look at the Denali's.
"Kate will probably enjoy that won't you sister dearest? You had a crush on me for the first one hundred years after I was turned after all." Irina said smirking at Kate who looked like she'd blush if she could.
"It was just a brief infatuation and you know it, however I do admit that if you weren't my sister I would have tried my hardest to get you to give me a chance. Although…I'm perfectly happy with Bella here, I do prefer brunettes after all." Kate said causing Bella to blink and tense a bit and scowl as she pulled away from Kate and closer to Seth.
"So you only want me because I remind you of your sister? I should have known." Bella said softly, trying to deny and hide just how hurt she felt at that, as she slid closer to Seth who was glaring at Kate alongside Leah who was as tense as a board with Tanya still on her lap with a hand over her eyes. Irina and the other Denali's aside from Kate were in various stages of face palming and anger.
"Wait no that's not how I meant it." Kate said quickly trying to reassure the brunette who glared at her with icy cold blue eyes.
"Pardon me but I need to go to the store and then start making some lunch for my siblings." Bella said getting off of the couch, grabbing her truck keys, and bolting out of the door with her pocket book in hand in less than a minute. The door slammed shut behind her, frosting over quickly as the girl ran for her truck.
"Bella!" Kate called trying to go after her mate only for Seth to knock her on her ass while Leah gently moved Tanya off of her lap and onto the couch as she got up and held Kate down with a snarl on her lips.
"Oh Kate you screwed that one up big time." Irina said sighing as she stared at her sister who looked confused and upset.
"I didn't mean it like that." Kate said beginning to struggle out from under Leah who growled at her with Seth echoing it.
"Congratu-fucking-lations. You screwed up and hurt your mate, who happens to be my little sister." Leah growled out at Kate who froze at this for a moment before beginning to try and struggle harder.
"Get off of me! I have to go to her! I need to fix what I screwed up." Kate said hissing as her instincts began to take over, demanding that she go to her mate and comfort her.
"How about you calm down first Kate? You really screwed up with what you said to her and letting your instincts take over won't help." Tanya said standing and moving over to help her mate pin down her sister.
"I have to apologize! I need to make it right! I need my mate to be happy and safe! I have to make her happy again!" Kate said struggling harder against the two women pinning her.
"That's ENOUGH!" Irina snarled as she stood, the floor under her feet beginning to frost over as Kate froze in place almost literally. The other Denali's flinched slightly, as did the Clearwater siblings. Irina didn't get mad often, because usually when she did her Ice Spirit powers started getting out of control, but when she did get mad… run. The Clearwaters didn't know that, they only knew that Irina reminded them of Bella and whenever Bella gets pissed even their wolves get scared.
"Snap out of your instincts and think with your head instead of your instincts and libido before you damage whatever relation is left with your mate permanently." Irina said the frost around her feet spreading and leaving a trail as she stormed over to her sister.
"My little mate is hurt by my words Irina. It's my fault she's in pain…I got to make it right." Kate whispered brokenly in Ancient Slovak, causing Irina to soften some. Tanya relaxed a little as well at hearing how broken her sister sounded in their mother tongue, something no one except them knew anymore.
"I know sister. As an Alpha you feel the need to protect your little mate from everything and anything, including yourself if you must. You want to keep her safe, happy, and healthy but this is a very delicate situation. A child claimed that he was her mate and then broke her almost beyond repair." Irina murmured in the same language as she motioned for Tanya to release the no longer struggling Kate, causing the eldest sister to nod and pull Leah off of the straight haired sister who whimpered slightly as she looked up at Irina before curling up as the most motherly of the three sisters bought her into a hug.
"I need to help her 'Rina. How can I help her if she doesn't trust or want me anymore?" Kate whimpered out as the frost around Irina receded a good bit but not fully. Irina only hugged and soothed her sister as she murmured the answer into the long corn silk blond hair.
"You give her time sister. Time, and a friend at first. Her pain needs to lessen and her heart needs to mend before she can let another in. You also should watch what you say, she would probably be very insecure now… most of all…just be there for her."
