Made For Them
Chapter 8: The meeting
And its Saturday again and here's another chapter. Hope you all enjoyed/will enjoy bonfires :)
For the first time there was no annoyance faced at Bella for adopting the annoying knickname whilst working, no Jane barely processed Bella's words. Her words didn't matter, the only thing that mattered was the handsome man that stood before her, tall, strong but not imposing in the slightest, She felt no urge to bring him to his knees in pain but rather with pleasure. She knew that she would protect this man from everything and anything, this wasn't love, not yet, but she knew in her very being that very quickly it could be. Neither stared, just staring at each other, seeing nothing of their surroundings. Not the great windows that gave an impressive view of the gardens, not the great mahogany bookcases in the corner, and not the eleven people surrounding them. But slowly but surely the people around them were becoming restless, Bella and the Cullens though happy were annoyed that their bonding session had being interrupted. Finally Emmett cracked, but then that wasn't surprising, it was bound to be him or Alice, quite easily the most impatient of the two.
"Are they going to just stare at each other all day? No introductions?" A giggle escaped both Bella and Alice, inherently amused by Emmett's antics and the two new mates were shocked out of their moment. They startled visibly as they returned in hind to the room. They had both just caught Emmett's words and it hit both very suddenly that they had no idea who the other was. Jane wasn't entirely how to apprach a mate, her mate. Did she hug him? A kiss to the cheek perhaps? Finally she settled on a cordial handshake, it was standard procedure to her, some common sense in all this confusion.
"Jane Volturi." His eyes widened before he chuckled. Of course he recognised who she was with straight away, who wouldn't recognise the Volturi? But having it confirmed, to know his mate was so incredibly powerful and feared, was slightly terrifying and he wasn't afraid to admit it. He grasped the outstretched hand, tugging her towards him so they were chest to chest. She looked up at him, crimson meeting crimson and she had to fight not to kiss his oh so tempting lips. He towered over her tiny stature as she melted against him. Nothing had ever felt quite this right to her before, she had only ever felt this safe in her mother's arms but even that didn't compare to this. He broke all her barriers she set around people and she didn't particularly mind. She was positively vulnerable in the current situation but she couldn't find it in her to care.
"Well hello little miss, I'm Garrett." And that was introductions. Simple but sweet and straight to the point. Neither felt any need to elaborate, explain, that would be saved for private. Their introductions were a bit like the people behind them. Although they moved out of the intimate position they were in they were still touching, needing the connection desperately so new was their mating. No longer was the only thing she could see was him, rather he wrapped a possessive arm aroundher shoulder and both faced the others in the room. It was definitely strange for the Cullens to see the usually scowling Jane, beaming. Seconds later Bella was glaring at Garrett in warning. This was her little girl he was mated to and she would be damned if anything happened to her. He noticed her glare and attempted not to shiver, she may look innocent at first but she was god damned scary.
"Welcome to the family, you hurt my little girl and I rip your dick off and feed it to you after I've drenched it in skunks blood." A shiver ran through Garrett, although he tried once again to fight it, at the threat as Jane laughed at her mothers threat. It was amusing the assumption that Jane couldn't punish a wayward mate herself especially with her power. But she also loved her mother for it, to know that she would be so willing to fight for her.
"I'll keep that in mind ma'am." And he would, he remembered the greeting he had received from the deceivingly nice hybrid, he didn't doubt she would keep to her threat. A nod was all the reply he received but for Bella with outsiders it was terribly nice.
"I'm sure mama still wants to get acquainted with her mates and I'm sure Jane wishes to become more acquainted with Garrett so why don't we all leave to hunt?" At Alec's suggestion all the Cullen's bristle with a slight fear. They knew that they were the only vegetarians here and that if the Volturi hunted around here that it may be at a detriment to their lives.
"Is their a problem, Carlisle with hunting around here?" The question was asked with an icy tongue. The great thins looking at the obviously shifty Cullen's with suspicion. Carlisle was hesitant to inform the Volturi about the neighbouring wolved, worried that they would go in all guns blazing and obliterate the threat. However not telling the Volturi would mean keeping things from his mate and that was much worse than the possibilities as to what might happen to the wolves.
"In the neighbouring Quileute reservation there is a pack of shape-shifters?" Aro rose and eyebrow at Carlisle. His friend had being hiding things, important things. Where Aro was curious Bella was fuming at her mate's consideration for the abhorrent animals, not because there job was to kill vampires but because of how they treated the youngest wolf. In her first week she had moonlighted as a human and visited the reservation, she could move around freely and quickly learned the inner workings, and it made her want to kill. She had become close to only one wolf and using her gifts she had done what she could to protect and avenge him without anyone knowing. She was Enyo for a reason.
"I'm surprised they allow you to live in sich proximity." Aro crossed his arms, his crimson eyes like a fire as he practically interrogated the Cullen's.
"We have a treaty from the last time we visited, as long as we continue to feed on animals and not harm humans they allow us to live, it was very generous of them." Aro nodded, though annoyed at the secrecy understanding the wish to not go to war with an unknown enemy. Bella snorted at the term generous but kept her thoughts to herself on the vile creatures. "If it would not inconvenience you too much would you mind hunting in Port Angeles whilst we set up a meeting with the Alpha." A grumble rolled through the Volturi at havin their huntng around dictated but at a harsh look from Aro they promptly ceased. Aro turned to Carlisle.
"It is a great inconvenience but we shall do this just once." Carlisle nodded and all but the Cullen's and Bella left. For the first time in a long time Alec would be hunting alone and it was a foreign thing for him, right from the start he had hunted with his sister or his mate, however his sister was with her mate and his was back home. He sighed and raced towards his destination.
"Samuel is not going to be happy about this." Jasper spoke somenly, running a hand through his honeyed locks. He was not looking forward to this confrontation in the slightest. The wolves were feral at best, intolerant at worst. Where the Cullen's looked hesitant to be going into this meeting Bella looked excited. Jasper could practically feel it rolling off of her and it confused him. "Isabella it is unlikely that this meeting will go slowly, it is nothing to be excited about." Bella simply rose an eyebrow in response to Jasper's reprimand.
"That, my mate, is because you don't know what I know of the wolves. You see what they showed you, I have seen the truth behind the mask and I wish to see their demise." Oh that was sign that she was definitely Volturi, only they became excited at another's demise. Howver the Cullen's were curious as to what their little mate knew, what made her so obviously despise the creatures.
"Will you tell us why you hate them so?" Esme was sad to see such hatred towards another creature whatever they may be. However she also some creatures deserved the hatred inputted onto them. One example would be Rosalie's hatred for Royce and his mates that were long dead in physicality but would live forever in Rosalie's psyche.
"I will, after the meeting." They conceded and let their mate keep her secret for a while longer.
"Carlisle you should call them as patriarch of our coven." CArlisle nodded and pulled out his phone. One thing he would never expected a few years ago would be that he had the phone number of a wolf yet alas here he was pulling Sam Uley's number out of his contacts. He sat nervously as the phone rang, partially hoping that they wouldn't answer, but luck was rarely on a desperate man's side.
"Cullen, what do you want?" He didn't attempt to start with a pleasantry, rather jumping straight to business. He had no wish to become friendly with the leeches. It was bad enough that he couldn't kill them because of a foolish treaty set up by his ancestors.
"We would like to call a meeting, as to inform you about some temporary visitors we have." A huff was sounded across the phone, Sam hated being in the presence of the bloodsuckers, they stunk to high heaven.
"Be at the treaty line for midnight." And without even a goodbye he cut the call. The Cullen's all looked at the disconnected phone, although the young wolf had being hostile they had achieved what needed to be achieved.
"And now we wait to go dancing with the wolves." Bella smirked as she made her comment, business was dealt with for now so what was left but pleasure. Alice screwed her nose up at Bella's words.
"I'm not dancing with them smelly things for nothing?" Bella pouted at Alice, her eyes becoming akin to a puppies as she looked as her inky haired mate.
"Not even for me Ali?" Alice stood up, danced over to Bella, placed a playful kiss on her cheek before shaking her head. THough she was lying, she would do anything for her mate, anything and everything that was asked of her. If Isabella Volturi asked it of her she would kill her brother, she would kill Edward for this pretty brunette. And in a way that scared her, for one person to have so much power over her. Edward snorted as he heard Alice's thoughts.
"You're scared? You're the one who just said you'd willingly kill me!" Alice bit her lip as she forgot that Edward could hear every thought that passed through her mind. She didn't want him to hear that because she loved him dearly and it would hurt a great deal to see him dead. Well that was comforting at least to Edward.
"It's going to be awesome when we meet the wolves! Their going to have wolfy seizures when they find out who I really am!" The Cullen's shook their head at their mates enthusiasm, they failed to see how this meeting could be good in the slightest. It would either end in further animosity or further or full out war.
"If this doesn't go well Isabella we could be facing war." Aah that wasn't daunting in the slightest! They'd be dead before they shifted if it came to that. They would be dismembered before they thought to breathe, she was Enyo!
"And it shall be a war shall surely win!" There was so much belief in her beautiful chocolate eyes that her mates couldn't help but be inclined to believe. She settle down on the couch finally, her human weaknesses catching up wih her slowly but surely. She sprawled haphazardly along the length, leaning her head against the arm and lookng up at the roof. She wanted to get a couple of hours of sleep but she didn't want to lose her mates attention for anything, especially not something so mundane. It was Carlisle, so used to the behaviours of a human who noticed her exhausted state.
"Do you wish for a bed dear?" Bella shook her head already half asleep much against her will. So they left her there sleeping as they went to hunt, only dispersing after a tender kiss to her forehead.
