Chapter 2: Treaty Lines
With the upcoming union comes more redrawing of the treaty between the Quileutes and Cullen clan. Jacob and Carlisle worked out many of the details. Jacob still was the Alpha, but he listened to both his elders and the current pack. It was decided upon that the treaty would remain in place in case something drastic happened. It would make everyone feel safer. The Cullen's would be allowed onto La Push, but not to hunt. The Quileutes still agreed to not reveal our secret, partially because Nessie is part of the secret and would be a major part of them, a chief's bride. They also knew the weight of their own secret and knew we meant humans no harm and they felt somewhat at ease with us now.
One thing was added, rather than amended. Should the need arise we could each call upon one another to defend against a common foe. While this had been done once before, it was approached differently and was an exception rather than the rule. Jacob, Leah, and Sam would be the ones serving to decide this for the Quileute pack, but they would listen to the others. Carlisle and I would serve as representation for the Cullen's, though we almost always consulted with the rest of the family. The treaty stood to protect both groups. We would put aside our differences, maybe not become one big happy family, but we would work together. The treaty would be considered in effect once Jacob and Renesmee exchanged their vows, two days from now. The reception would follow at First Beach, a sign of the change in the treaty, two hours later. We would work to be the best in-laws to one another. Funny. Considering we used to be the bitterest of enemies, we were planning to be the best of in-laws.
