Disclaimer: All Twilight characters belong to Stephanie Meyers, while I'm just teasing and bending them for a bit. No profit is being collected from the fiction contained within.

The storyline and non-Twilight characters are my creative fault and mine alone.

This storyline has women loving women. If this kind of love scares you, well darling turn around and go back the other way. There are plenty of splendid writers who delve into straight couple relationships; for the most part, I'm just not one of them.

The rating is M just to be on the safe side, do to the language and the possibility of the sex scenes becoming a bit graphic but no promises in that area. Oh, there will also be mention of threesomes and 'gasp horror' vampires and other supernatural creatures getting it on with each other.

All boo boos, snafus and misdeeds within the story are all mine and mine alone.

Author's Note: As the location has moved to Europe, I've made the creative decision that when one becomes a supernatural the rewiring of their brain allows them to understand and communicate with other supernaturals even if their native languages aren't the same.

(Scene Alice and Bella have gone to their suite, Leah, Sian and Gabi in the hallway)

After watching the two smaller vampires disappear into their room, Gabriella chuckled lightly, "I don't think we'll be seeing those two for a while."

"Darling I would say you're spot on from the look in the wee one's eyes." Sian smirked as peered into the huge room, "well, I must say your friends certainly know how to dress a room up for guests." Her twinkling blue eyes gazed wickedly at the huge king size bed.

"They're a tad unconventional in that they like having guests and entertaining. Sacha can be an aristocratic shit but harmless and" the lithe vampire replied with a smile and a slight tick of her head seeing where Sian's eyes were fixated. "Vanya, well she loves expensive things and making her guests happy."

"And of course, you'd know them," she stated ruffling her fingers through Gabriella's hair. "You do seem to be acquainted with the most interesting of creatures."

Turning and tilting her head, Gabriella kissed Sian's lips softly, "Indeed I am, my dear cat." She then turned her attention to the younger woman and leaned in and kissed Leah's cheek, "that includes you as well, my dear wolf."

Feeling the cool lips against her cheek took her by surprise, it was the first kiss she had received from with either woman. The kiss was as chaste as could be but Leah felt a flood of desire towards the lithe vampire that caused her to blush.

"Enough lollygagging let's check out our boudoir," Sian remarked as she picked up Gabriella and carried her over the threshold.

Recovering from her shock Gabriella gave a mock glare to Sian who was laughing as she placed her on the bed, "why do you cats feel the need to tote me around like I'm a bale of hay? My wounds have recovered enough for me to walk as I just proved." Waving her hand towards the hallway, they had come from.

Ignoring the vampire, Sian's brilliant blue eyes glittered, "Leah be a dear and close the door, I don't want that Russian tomcat," her lips curled slightly and the tone of her voice made it quite clear what she thought of Ivan. "Getting any more ideas by seeing you," touching the vampire's face. "Naked. I came this close to scratching that bloody smirk off his face." Scottish woman grumbled as she began to undress Gabriella.

Having closed the door Leah felt a thrill of excitement and nervousness weave around her, 'I'm going to be sharing a room with these two beautiful creatures! Fuck, I'm truly going to do this.' Leah breathed in and out trying to settle her nerves as her mind batted that thought around. It would be first time she had been completely alone with the two women in such an intimate environment. Her eyes locked on the oversized king bed that Gabriella was sitting on, while Sian began to undress her. 'Nope can't get more intimate the that,' she swallowed moving over towards the bed.

"His behavior was quite abhorrent," Sian her Scottish burr getting thicker as she continued her rant as she pulled the vampire's boots off. "Bloody ass fool, knowing what we'd been through he goes right ahead stirring our beasts for his own perverse pleasure."

The wolf in Leah agreed wholeheartedly with its mate's views about Ivan and human part of her as well. Yet, hearing Sian whom had remained relatively quiet throughout the whole encounter, becoming so heated about it was, well damn sexy and making her insides quiver. From the fiery look in her blue eyes, to the twitching of her muscles under the tawny warm flesh to the way the woman trilled her "r's" it all added to the sizzle happening within Leah.

Leah tried to keep her focus on Sian, but it was hard to do as she watched the woman remove the lithe vampire's loose fitting trousers. She already knew that Gabriella wasn't wearing anything underneath them expect for the bandages wrapped around both her thighs and stomach. Yet, seeing the woman halfway naked on the bed created a very pleasant buzz causing her blush to amazingly deepen and she had to bite her lip to stop the moan bubbling inside her from escaping.

'Damn, I could die from sexual overload with out even getting any." Leah thought as she felt her heart speed up. 'Two sexy imprints very fucking dangerous to one's system.'

"Sian," Gabriella her rich voice low and soft broke in only to have the tigress's fingers on her lips trying to silence her words. Of course, she wasn't having any of that kissing the fingers before continuing in a tender tone, "don't hush me woman. I want you both to listen to me."

With a sigh and a reluctant nod, Sian removed her fingers, "alright love. Speak your peace so I can finishing getting these clothes and bandages off of you."

Letting loose a light chuckle, "going to be damn hard to be taken seriously with only a shirt on, but here goes. First, neither of you has anything to be jealous about concerning Ivan. I've no interest in fucking him, none whatsoever, even if I wasn't injured." Reaching up with her good arm, she grabbed Leah's right hand and gazed deeply into those dark eyes "over my life span there've only been four beings I've desired to be with intimately and I'm not talking about sex. You and Sian are two of the four. It may not seem to be an important distinction but for me it really is."

Feeling her insides turn puddly, Leah understood what the older woman was telling her and her heart lifted. Not sure, how to respond verbally, the young woman did something she had been denying herself, leaning down she placed a kiss on the cold pink lips and then whispered, "thank you."

"It's the truth, my dear wolf," Gabriella murmured back and drew Leah's warm lips back for a longer kiss. Inwardly smiling as she heard the young woman's heart to race from the contact and parted her lips inviting her to explore further, which Leah did willingly. As they drew a part, she tenderly rubbed Leah's cheek with her thumb, "if my heart wasn't frozen it would be beating as rapidly as yours."

Not to be denied, Sian smiled wickedly leaned over and locked her lips on Leah's. It was a bold move, but after their earlier play, before everything went to hell it was it was a craving she had to fulfill. She purred with delight when the young woman ran her tongue across her lips asking for entrance.

Leah wasn't a stranger to begin kissed, hell she had lost her virginity to Sam four years ago so she had plenty of experience but she felt like a damn virgin bride the way her body was reacting to the two kisses from both woman. Pools of liquid fire were pouring through her like magma through a lava tube and settling in her core. 'Sam never caused that kind of intensity,' her mind sparked as she and Sian separated.

The pair separated panting for air. Gabriella just smiled tenderly waiting for the two to recover.

"Wow," Leah muttered in a daze as she moved a step back hoping not to fall on her ass.

Sian smiled, "indeed and though I loath to stop, we really need to so we can get cleaned up. Would you be a dear and get tub filling with water, while I finish undressing this gorgeous woman and removing the bandages."

Leah nodded not sure of her ability to form a coherent sentence. Entering the ensuite, she looked in the mirror and realized she a big goofy grin on her face that reminded her of Seth. 'Apparently, it's genetic,' shaking her head in bemusement as she went to the sunken tub and cranked the facets to full blast.

As much as her body was vibrating with need and hearing the throes of passion coming through the walls from Alice and Bella, which was adding more fuel to her own longing, Leah wasn't sure if she was ready to plunge as they say full steam ahead into having sex. Taking several deep breaths, she tried to steady her nerves, while she waited on the two beings causing her lustful desires.

While Leah was pondering her next step, Sian was having no such issues. Having stripped Gabriella of her shirt and the bandages, she was tenderly running her long fingers over the eight long slash marks. The wounds had closed up leaving long ribbons to the already scarred woman's torso.

"Sian," Gabriella murmured as the woman stroked her thighs.

"These are healing nicely after the bath I'll put the salve on them." Standing up the tall woman quickly removed her own clothes but instead of moving towards the ensuite, she straddled her legs across the vampire. Loving how the cool silky skin felt on her own heated flesh. "Gabi," she purred out leaning forward so their breasts touched. "I want to feel you, taste you, have you writhing under me, but I don't want to aggravate your wounds."

Swimming into those deep blue eyes Gabriella smiled, "only my arm is out of commission but it is healing we'll just have to be careful not to tear what is mending, because I want you too." Laying a kiss on the woman's chin, "but what of Leah, this might be too much for her."

"She's a big girl. She can leave, watch or join I don't care which she chooses. I've got my needs and I'm selfish enough to indulge in them." Sian's voice was as firm as her touch was soft as she ran her fingers along the woman's back.

Not willing to deny her own desires, Gabriella nodded, "you're right my love she can make her own decision." Then tilted her head so Sian could easily kiss her.

Sighing as the kiss ended, "let's get cleaned up before you and I get to lost in each other." Sian smirked as she shifted herself off Gabriella's lap and then helped her to stand up.

Maybe it was the lighting in the ensuite but Leah was totally thunderstruck as Gabriella and Sian entered to ensuite completely nude. Gazing at the vampire, she didn't see the eight angry long welts running down the vampire's torso and thighs. No, what she saw was a willowy dancer who was the color of the moon and moving fluidly towards the tub.

As her eye's trailed from Gabriella over to Sian, Leah was unable to censure herself and let out a very breathy, "fuck me."

The woman's golden skinned toned body reminded Leah of some kick boxers she had seen, thick cords of muscles rippling with every movement Sian made. Of course, the muscles only seemed to enhance the tigress's lovely shaped ass and firm breasts, that Leah found herself being drawn towards.

"After the bath darling," Sian purred out and lightly patted the young woman's blushing cheek as she went to assist the vampire.

"Incorrigible cat," Gabriella chuckled as the tigress eased her into the sunken tub.

"Absolutely." Grinning from ear to ear, "Leah, my love, I'm teasing you. We've both promised to go at your pace, now you can join us in this very large tub or not the choice is yours." She said with a satisfied sigh as she slipped into the tub filling with steaming water, "I promise to place my hands only where they're welcomed."

Leah's eyes widened as she watched exactly where the Scottish woman's hand were welcomed as Sian lathered her hand with soap and preceded to wash Gabriella's body. It was perhaps the most erotic thing she had witnessed, causing her center to pulsate. Licking her lips, Leah couldn't tear her eyes away as Sian's sudsy hands fondled Gabriella's breasts causing the vampire to arch into her with a soft sigh. She felt like a voyeur watching the two women.

'Fuck me that's as sexy as hell.' Her mind sung out.

The wolf in her was all for diving into the tub and joining in the two but Leah still hesitate until the sound of Bella's screaming Alice's name resonated into through the wall. It was like a siren call for to Leah's libido as she practically tore the clothes off her body. The moment young woman stepped in to the tub she felt two hands one cold and one warm caressing her as she sank into the water.

"It's only the beginning love," Sian gave purr so strong it sent ripples through the water.

(Time shift several hours - location Alice and Bella's suite)

Bella was in euphoria. The muscles in her were humming quite pleasantly, but most importantly, her mind no longer carried the images of the imploding wolf. No, her mind was quite cheerfully reviewing everything she and her pixie had been doing for the last several hours. Every kiss, touch, sensation and position they had shared was rolling merrily around in her brain. Of course, having Alice's enchanting fingers stroke her stomach brought new scenarios to her mind that the two hadn't done and her lips spread into a smile and she sighed out deeply.

"What are you thinking sweetie?" She asked nuzzling her nose into Bella's neck.

"How wonderful you are, how you know exactly what I need to relax and how beautiful you are when you sing."

Giggling softly Alice tilted her head back, "only for you will I sing like that."

"Damn right," Bella remarked as she lightly kissing her mate's nose.

"I love you Isabella Marie Swan. If my heart wasn't frozen it'd beat just for you."

"I love you too, Mary Alice Brandon."

"Well, that was altogether drippy sweet," Gabriella's rich voice came through the wall. "And before you all get real gooey, I just wanted you to know I'm moseying down to chat up Sacha and Vanya about the ancient."

"I take it, Sian and Leah are asleep," Alice stated turning towards the wall.

"Yep, all tuckered out and nestled together like two peas in a pod."

"Gabi," Bella began scrunching her face slightly. "Uh, I would like to talk to you about what happened today er, yesterday."

"Okay, now or after I talk with Sacha and Vanya?"

"She wanted to talk to you before I dragged her away," the pixie chimed out.

"Yes, but I'm not as stressed as I was then." Bella remarked.

"No, I image you're not," her deep chuckle sounded through the wall. "Well, knowing Sacha and Vanya, I could be with them a while so how about we talk before I see them."

Bella nodded forgetting that the woman couldn't see her so Alice with a giggle said, "come on over."

With vampire speed the two managed to pull on some clothes before Gabriella lightly knocked on their door.

Alice flitted over to the door and let the lithe vampire in the room. Seeing Gabriella's right arm still bound tight to her body she frowned.

Reaching up she tenderly touched the arm, "this should've healed up by now."

"Yes, well as they say some times all the precautions in the world can't keep accidents from happening when making love." Giving them a quirky smile, "and no matter how limber my karamsutra kitty is you throw in a few extra limbs, things are bound to get a bit tangled." Tilting her head slightly, "especially in the throes of passion."

Smirking Alice shook her head, "you couldn't wait a few more hours until your arm was completely mended?"

"Hmmm, let's see a beautiful naked Sian sitting on my lap, purring out wicked words of want into my ear, yeah that would be a no on the waiting." Kissing Alice's cheek softly and then turning her attention to Bella, "how about we get on with what you all wanted to tell me."

"Not yet," Alice said grabbing Gabriella's free hand and dragged her over to the settee in the room. "What about your other wounds? Have you been putting the salve Sara made for us?"

Shaking her head slightly, "the slashes have healed and yes, Sian put the salve on before she and Leah retired to bed." Then smiling impishly and waggling her eyebrows, "would you like me to drop my drawers so you can check it out for yourself?"

"Tempting," Alice teased back, "but what would your girlfriends think?"

"Leah might glower for a few seconds until her mind caught up with her emotions realizing it was just you." She answered grinning and leaning back in the settee, "And Sian well she would laugh then assist you in taking them off."

Alice gave a mock pout when she heard Bella giggle, "I think I should be mildly insulted about now."

Laughing Gabriella just shook her head and motioned Bella to join them on the settee, "tell me what's on your mind Bella."

Still giggling Bella took her place on end of the settee on the other side of the older woman, like Alice she curled her legs under and leaned into Gabriella without even thinking about it.

"The two mutts who attacked us had shifted into their human form, they didn't perceive Alice or I as a threat." She smiled when she heard the lithe vampire snort in disdain and muttered stupid ass sniffers, "they thought they could rape us but they learned differently very quickly. Both realized their mistake and started to shift," pausing she took an unneeded breath, "Gabi, the one I was fighting, I felt the heat of his energy and I knew if he shifted he could be deadly and I stopped him, well sort of, inside he was changing into a wolf but outside he stayed human. I finally tore his head off."

Humming softly, Gabriella didn't say anything for several minutes as she thought over everything she had been told. She had hoped Bella wouldn't have to go through such a horrible learning experience with her gift.

Touching the young woman's hand she sighed, "Bella, the first time I teleported I ended up halfway inside a giant redwood, not my finest moment, thank the lord, the only one to witness that was a couple of golden eagles." Chuckling as the two girls beside her sniggered at the image, "you can image my relief that I was able to teleport out of the tree, I really didn't want to become Dryope."

"Oh, I don't know I think you would've made an excellent dryad." Alice snickered out.

"Yes I do have rather nice nymph qualities about me," smirking slightly. "Anyway, I did learn something from that miscue, I realized I had replaced the physical matter of the tree with my own." Tilting her head and capturing Bella's liquid gold eyes with her own, "but even with that understanding I still had several other miscues with my gift." Closing her eyes for a moment Gabriella sighed slightly, "I've also inadvertently killed with my gift and not just those I was hunting."

Bella gazed at the older woman and her heart clenched at the thought of killing an innocent accidentally with her gift. As gruesome as the mutt's death had been she didn't feel remorse but with a shudder, Bella realized she could've by mistake done that to Jake. Considering all their horseplay and his interest in her gift, it was a strong possibility.

"Neither one of us have instruction manuals, trial and error along with maturing is how we learn to use our abilities." Gabriella continued softly, "Bella what happened in the field is a demonstration of your growing ability. As you mature so will your gift, right now you're probably just seeing as the say the tip of the iceberg in regards to what you can do."

Sitting up straighter Alice touched tapped her chin in thought, "so with time my Bella might be able to stop a shape shifter from changing completely just by touching them."

"Yes, of that I'm certain and perhaps with development as your ability deepens you will also be able stop them from shifting without having physical contact," the older woman added shrugging her shoulders.

"You're joking," Bella's eyes widened in astonishment at what the older woman said.

"Considering what you can already do, no I'm not, but again I don't truly know child only time will tell." Reaching up she grabbed Bella's hand, "but I don't want either of you mentioning this while we are here. For now the fewer who know about this the better."

"I wasn't planning to but why?" Bella asked her eyes widening a bit at the vehemence of the older woman's request.

"Because you're like a super vampire, sweetie," Alice providing the answer, "just like Gabi is a threat to the Volturi you would be as well. If they found out about your gift, they'd want to get their hands on you. Either they'd force you to join them or kill you if you refused."

Bella's eyes flitted from her lover back to Gabriella as she digested that bit of information, "is that why you work for them, because you have to?"

Gabriella frowned slightly at Alice's statement concerning the Volturi not sure where that view came from, "first, no I chose to offer my unique services to them. As far as the Volturi I doubt they'd want you dead, unless my petite one you had a vision or a premonition saying otherwise but Aro and his brothers would definitely court you as well as Alice for your gifts."

Reaching over and taking her pixie's hand in hers Bella asked softly, "did you have a vision Ali."

"No, a feeling hit me when Gabi said not to tell anyone else. Not as strong as the other two times but it was still there."

"Hmmm, I still doubt the Volturi would sanction Bella's death unless they felt she was a menace to their rule but that doesn't mean others wouldn't want her dead," Gabriella remarked running her fingers through her hair. "But there is also the possibility that others might try and force you into using your gift."

"No one could force me!" Bella hissed in outrage at the idea.

Alice shook her head, "oh but they could my love. You'd do anything to protect those you care about."

As Bella's mouth opened slightly, as the implication dawned on her Gabriella nodded her, "and that my dear is why the less who know about your expanding gift the better."

"Don't worry Bella," Alice said getting up from her position on the settee and kneeling down in front of her lover. "We won't let anything happen."

"Bella, with Alice's gift of future seeing and now her developing premonitions, you really don't have to worry. Besides," smiling brightly at her. "You also have three kick ass friends whom no one will want to mess with in the future. Speaking of the future, I really should go and talk to Vanya and Sacha, I don't want to stay here too long."

"Because of Leah being a shape shifter," Alice added standing up and laying a hand on Bella's head.

"Yes, it's not that I don't trust Vanya and Sacha but the others who reside here and visit I'm not so sure about. In this part of the world, the animosity towards shape shifters runs deep and I'd hate to be a bad guest and kill someone under their roof."

"It would be a rather social gaffe to kill one of their other guests or," tapping her chin. "A certain male servant."

Pushing off with her good arm, Gabriella stood up, "yes, it would be," kissing each of them on the top of the head. "This may take awhile, Sacha could talk the ear off a mule before every getting to the point of the conversation. He'll be all a flutter about having a party, which I shall dissuade him from throwing and hopefully Vanya who is quite a practical woman will get him to see reason."

Bella scrunched her nose trying to image what kind of party a group of vampires might have considering their food choice and then her lips curled in disgust.

Chuckling at Bella's expression, "don't worry Bella, Vanya would never allow blood and gore in her home. She like's her art too much for that, no it would be dancing and the like. Now go back to your canoodling," she said before leaving the two alone with a smile.

"Sian's right Gabi does know some of the oddest creatures," Alice giggled out. "Now," her amber eyes took on a predatorily glow as they swept over Bella, "I think we should follow Gabi's advice."

"Hmmm, I always heard it was wise to listen to your elders," Bella purred out as her eyes matched her mates in desire.

"Definitely," Alice nodded wrapping her arms around her mate and drawing her into a kiss, which curled Bella's toes.

(Time shift several hours-Location Sian, Leah and Gabriella's suite)

Leah's mind was stuck in that zone between being awake and being a sleep, when a person isn't actually sure what is and isn't real, not a bad place to be at times. For several minutes, Leah was sure she was dreaming that the warm body draped across her was one of those soft cruel dreams she use to have after Sam left her for Emily. Her eyes snapped open when she felt her stomach and side being kneaded by two hands.

It only took seconds for Leah to process that it wasn't a dream, she wasn't alone in her bed and that there was indeed a person draped over her. No, not just draped over her, but also tenderly massaging her and softly purring into her ear.

A small smile tugged at her lips as not only her mind but the muscles in her body reminded her quite pleasantly why she had a warm purring Sian cuddled up against her. As Sian sweet lemon grass scent infused her senses as she inhaled deeply, Leah felt a moment of panic when she didn't detect Gabriella's spicy dark chocolate scent in the room. Then she remembered the lithe vampire had told them before they had drifted off to sleep that she would was going to talk to their hosts.

'Damn miracle I can remember that after last night,' she thought with a silent snort. Then the smile on her face widened as the memories of her night with the two women sprung forth. 'Thank God, I'm no longer a member of the pack,' she thought with a blush. 'There's no way in hell I'd want their pervy minds seeing that.'

Even in her sleep Sian moved with grace as she shifted her limbs around, replacing the hand that had been kneading Leah's belly with a leg. With a touch as soft as a whisper so not to wake her sleeping mate, Leah stroked the leg that was now lying on top of her.

'Even in her sleep she's so damn fucking flexible,' a tiny quiver of desire ran through Leah as she remembered just how flexible and the various positions, they had achieved. 'Karamsutra kitty in deed.' Chuckling softly at Gabi's nickname for Sian.

The amazing thing for Leah, after all her worrying about making love to a woman, well two women, was for naught. She found the experience had been beyond enjoyable. In fact, she couldn't even begin to find the right words to express how beautiful it had been. Of course, she realized it all had to do with Sian and Gabriella; they had been extremely loving and soothing. They had taken her not only to new sexual heights; they had made her feel loved and worshiped. She hadn't felt those kinds of sensations, since Sam had left her. Even when the two had been together, their lovemaking hadn't been very grand but they were both young and stumbling through sex.

Three things happened nearly at once to disrupt Leah's serene thoughts. She heard the door to Bella and Alice's suite open. Sian in all her naked glory leapt out of bed fully alert. Then a vomit-inducing odor penetrated her nostrils, letting her know that more then one human drinking tick was outside their door. The Scottish woman was in a protective stance in front of Leah who had also gotten out of the bed. Neither gave a thought about being nude if someone did walk in on them, they were only concerned with guarding their lover.

(Scene Shift- Location-Tallinn, Estonia)

Edward and Meryatum were looking quite pleased with themselves as they relaxed in the parlor area. Both were seated in high wing back chairs, smiling as they discussed the success of the day. All they needed were a couple of cigars and brandy snifters to give off the appearance of two Edwardian gentlemen visiting at a social club.

"Yes, I'm quite pleased with the results," Meryatum stated as his eyes drifted from Edward towards the floor. "George and Laura's quick obedience to us really was quite satisfying and of course, Mina is quite taken with you."

Edward smirked crookedly at the mention of Mina; her thoughts on waking had been like the others delirious to ease the burn of her thirst until she saw him. To know that her desire for him nearly supplanted her bloodlust had given him a hard on; he hadn't had since that day in the ballet studio when he nearly drank Bella dry. He truly wanted to fuck the woman who resembled his Bella.

"The only one who is still struggling is Annika," Edward remarked as he parked all thoughts of Mina to the side for the moment. He had asked Gerda to get the young woman cleaned up so he could visit with her later.

Rubbing the bridge of his thin nose with his right hand's index finger, the ancient vampire nodded, "I'm not worried. She'll come around fairly quickly. Her need for a fix as Gerda said will be all we need to train her. She'll be, for lack of a better description, our Pavlovian dog with blood being the bell substitute."

Chuckling lightly, Edward nodded; he had to agree with his mentor, the young woman certainly had come around when the human had been brought before her. "Perhaps next time it should just be you or I bringing her next serving. Unlike the others, Annika's mind was still filled with loathing towards the werewolves even after she finished."

"I agree, besides it will help her bond with us quicker. The girl will recognize we are the ones who will take care of her needs."

"Are we still looking at the same time frame for our next step?"

Meryatum nodded, "yes. The only thing that might change it would be the weather hampering us to take off in our jet. Gerda is keeping an eye on the weather patterns. She'll let me know if we need to move sooner"

"Excellent," Edward clapped his hands together in glee. Very soon, he would return to Forks with a wonderful surprise for his ex-family and the putrid mutts. "Thank god, Gerda has her own private jet. Transporting these newborns would be rather troublesome any other way."

"Gerda, for a werewolf, has some very positive attributes," Meryatum chuckled. 'More then I'll be sharing with you,' he smiled as he shielded that thought from the bronze haired boy. "Unlike the others she is a thinker and can see beyond her cravings." Touching Edwards's knee lightly, " speaking of which, why don't you go and see Mina, I'm sure she's ready for you now."

Giving the ancient a crooked grin, Edward stood up from the chair, "I think I will." Licking his lips lightly as he thought of the mahogany haired woman, "it's been awhile since I've allowed myself to indulge in desires of the flesh."

"Good boy," Meryatum smiled and waved Edward away.

Getting up from his chair, he moved towards the large window and saw Gerda in the yard directing her boys in loading up the remains of the humans. Studying the woman whose blond hair reminded of the sun he smirked slightly as the four men obeyed her every command.

'Such a strong intelligent woman, if she were a vampire I would make her my queen along side Annika.' Chuckling softly and shaking his head, 'I do so like women whose hair is the color of the noonday sun.' Rubbing his chin lightly and pursing his lips together, 'pity she's a wolf. We would've made a formidable couple, but I have her counsel and her bed from time to time and that will have to suffice.'

As if sensing Meryatum's thoughts, the flaxen haired woman turned her head and looked towards the ancient. She gave him small knowing smile, which he returned before she went back to supervising her men folk. The ancient's eyes crimson eyes sparkled as he made his way outside. What Edward didn't know, because Meryatum didn't want him to know was he truly enjoyed the werewolves, well Gerda's company and actually found her scent to be quite scintillating. It was just another white lie for the young man to help keep him in tow.

XXXXXXX

It's just a real thrill to see others taking time to read this creative endeavor and I thank you all very much.
