For the past few months James and I had resided in our old room back at Tanya's house. Irina and Laurent's room had been left alone since their deaths, almost like a shrine. Other than that, everything was just how we had left it, with the addition of Garrett. He had already moved in with Kate as it were.

The first month we were back was spent just relaxing and being a family again. James and I would tell everyone what we had been doing in Yellowstone since we had left. The girls loved to hear the proposal story over and over again. I would always laugh when they asked and the men would always groan. I'm afraid Jasper was getting the worst of it though. It was partially from the mixed emotions whenever the topic was brought up and partially from the expectations for his next proposal. Alice was constantly thinking of different ways he could propose next time. Jasper would just shake his head and remain silent.

This first month was also when I started noticing Tanya's behavior. Like Kate had said, she would often leave and not return for hours, or once a few days. She wouldn't tell us anything or if she did she just claimed she was hunting. We all knew she was lying, especially since we could smell this new man on her. It was always the same smell too, so she wasn't bed hopping anymore either.

"Who is he?" Kate asked. She was getting frustrated with Tanya since her sister had yet to confess and it had been months since she had started seeing her mystery man.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Tanya said.

"Like hell you don't! Who's this new man? Where's he from? What's he do? Is he human or vampire?" Kate asked.

"Tanya, we can smell him on you." Carmen said. "We know you're lying just from that fact."

"What if I just make plans for you to meet him?" Tanya asked.

"That would be nice." I said.

"Party?" Alice asked.

"I was thinking more about going down to the club. Do you think Jasper and James can handle it?"

"Jasper went to school with me all of the time." Alice said. "We even went to prom. I'm sure he can handle a club."

"James has already been there, remember?" I said.

"He had fed a lot the night before and after too." Tanya reminded me.

"The after one is a completely different issue. I'm sure he'll do fine." I said.

So it was settled, we were going to go to the club in a few nights and meet Tanya's mystery man… finally.

oOoOoOo

The music from the club was just barely contained inside the building. Walking up, curled into James' side acting as if the winter chill was affecting me, I could feel the rhythm pulse through my body. I smiled in anticipation of the dancing. Especially since this time I would be dancing with James and I wouldn't have to worry about making him jealous.

I leaned even more into James as we entered the building. The music was flowing through us now and the urge to dance was getting stronger with each second. We had come as a family, minus Tanya. She had gone to meet her mystery man.

"Is she here yet?" I asked Kate. She already had her arms slung around Garrett's neck and was starting to sway to the beat. He was running his hands up and down her sides and moving with her.

"I don't think so. I'm sure she'll come find us when she gets here." Kate answered. Carmen nodded her head in agreement.

"I wouldn't hit the dance floor yet." Alice warned. Her eyes were dilated, but quickly returned to their normal golden state. "She's coming over in 5…4…3…2… and…"

"Hey everyone!" Tanya smiled. She was leading a pale man with golden blonde hair and slightly dark golden eyes. Everyone remained silent, waiting for introductions.

"I believe they're waiting for an introduction." The man said.

"Of course! Everyone, this is Tony Delario. Tony, this is my family. There's Carmen and her mate Eleazar, Kate and her mate Garrett, and Cerys and her mate James. The last two are Jasper Whitlock and Alice Cullen. They're friends from Washington."

"Where are you from, Tony?" Eleazar asked.

"California originally. I was in Seattle when I was changed." The fact made James, Alice, Jasper, and I stand up a bit straighter.

"Seattle? Who changed you?" Alice asked.

"A woman… I believe her name was Victoria. She was creating an army…"

"We know." Jasper said. "How did you escape?"

"I was one of the first she changed. One night I heart her talking about the vegetarians. She had killed a drunk man and was now drunk herself and rambling. She mentioned the Cullens and the Denali covens. I knew she was gearing up to go against the Cullens," Tony looked apologetically at Alice and Jasper, "So one night I left when she wasn't paying attention. I was never good at geography so I just headed north. I was feeding in the forest when I ran into Tanya. She's been helping me ever since."

"How did you find the will power to not drink from humans?" James asked. Eleazar also seemed interested in Tony's answer.

"I guess I was born… or reborn with a conscience. As soon as my newborn anger dissolved, I just hated killing humans."

"It sounds like Carlisle's case." Eleazar commented. Alice and Jasper nodded in agreement.

"We all have consciences." James said. "It's just whether or not you decide that feeding from humans is your style of life." I knew he was a bit bitter since he hadn't been able to fall into the life as quickly or as easily as this new vampire.

Once more, the group fell into silence.

"So… when are you moving in?" Carmen asked.

"We hadn't talked about that actually." Tanya murmured.

"I thought you would have by now… o well." Carmen shrugged.

"Let's go dancing!" I announced. I didn't wait for anyone's reply and just pulled James behind me. We wound our way into the crowd on the dance floor till we found a spot in the middle.

James pulled me close, placing his hands on my hips. My head fell back onto his shoulder and we started to move with the music. James would nudge my head to the side every so often and kiss my shoulder and neck. I'm sure if I still had a pulse he'd be leaving a trail of hickeys.

I surprised him by spinning in his arms so I was now facing him. I noticed him glaring at someone behind me. I rolled my eyes and formed a plan. It was nice to defend me and all, but I wanted his undivided attention completely on me. So I let my hands rest on his shoulder, but started to slide them down his chest as I slithered down his body. I heard him catch his breath as I started to make my way back up. I ended up giving him a quick kiss before turning around and repeating the action. When I stood back up this time I made sure to grind into him even more. He wasn't able to suppress his groan then.

"That wasn't nice, love." James whispered. His hands locked me against his chest.

"I don't need to be defended all the time. Life isn't as exciting then." I replied.

"Trust me… Life can be just as exciting." James growled. "Why don't we go and find a place to… cool down." James nearly gagged me off the dance floor. I tried to protest all the way to the back alley, but it landed on deaf ears. Eventually James shut me up with a mind blowing kiss.

oOoOoOo

The next morning we found ourselves talking about the final details for the wedding. James had helped me back into the club after cooling down. He was still possessive, but made sure I was getting more attention than the men around us. I was currently sitting in James' lap, resting my head on his shoulder while Alice continued to sketch out my dress. Originally Alice wanted an all lace dress, but I immediately vetoed that, much to James' complaints. I wanted to walk down the isle, not take a step then be pulled away by my would be husband. That would go over well. Alice had agreed after some persuasion to put a stark white layer below the lace.

"What kind of flowers should we have?" Kate asked.

"Some greenery I'm sure we can find that morning." I said.

"Decorations on the chairs?" Carmen asked.

"White silk. When it is tied to a chair or post, there should be more of the greenery." I answered.

"Should we do anything to the rock?"

"I think…" Alice began.

"No. Nothing will be done to the rock." I said. My voice was strong and confident.

"But…" Alice started.

"Alice…" James warned. "She said no." Alice huffed then shrugged and returned to her drawings.

There wasn't all that much left to do. Tanya and Kate were going over the seating chart. The invitations had been sent out a month after the proposal. Since then, all of the replied had been returned. James was actually surprised since we received a confirmation from some of his other nomad friends who I had yet to meet. He didn't even think they'd get the invitation. The youngest Egyptian couple as well as the Amazons and Irish covens were all to be attending. Of course the Cullens and Denali's would be at the front.

"Finished!" Alice cheered. She as smiling down at the paper in front of her. Jasper was smiling over her should and running his hand up and down her leg. Alice was beaming as she held up the sketch.

"I like it." I said quietly.

"I approve." James said from behind me.
