"So let me get this straight. You love me and Bella but you are choosing Bella?" I said closing my eyes. I didn't want to see his expression as he delivered the words that would cause me to leave. I kept waiting for the answer but instead I felt his lips crash down on mine.

"No Aurora, I'm choosing you."

Chapter Ten – Acceptance

Aurora's POV

The sun streamed through the window and sparkled brightly off our naked skin.

I smiled as I stared at him, he gave me a crooked smile in return.

"Good morning." He whispered and I rolled over stretching reaching to find his lips. I placed a soft chaste kiss on his marble lips, I couldn't fight the smile.

"Yes, it is a good morning." I replied smiling. The bag I packed last night laid on the floor still packed and surrounded by an assortment of clothes.

Both mine and Edward's.

Edward's phone bleeped from his trouser pockets and I leant over to get it, carefully clutching the sheet around my exposed skin.

"It's Alice." I said passing the phone to him and he snapped the phone open.

"Good morning Alice." He laughed into the receiver and I snuggled close to him. His arm flopped over my shoulders and he began to rub circles into my arm.

"We would like to come home now; you and Aurora had your fun."

I tried not to laugh at Alice's reply.

"Of course." Edward smiled and at that point the door flung open.

"Good, 'cos we're home." Alice sang standing before us. I clutched the sheeting around me tighter, up to my chin to be exact. How did I not smell her? Or at least pick up on her thoughts? Alice laughed.

"I saw you'd be paying no attention so I had to try it." She giggled and Edward growled.

"Uh A-A-A-Alice!" I stuttered out feeling extremely self-conscious. I'd never felt self-conscious before.

"Get used to it, it'll be happening a lot." She laughed and Edward through a pillow. Somewhere in the house I heard Emmett's booming laughter and Alice danced away.

"I guess that means you're sticking around." Edward smiled as he pulled me back into him, he wound his arm around my waist and locked his grip.

As much as I hated to admit it Edward was stronger than me – I wasn't going anywhere not that I wanted to of course.

"I guess that means I am." I smiled, I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply. Edward's scent swirled around my nose but I smelt something else, something familiar.

My nose wrinkled in disgust as I tried to remember that scent. My eyes snapped open and I launched up in the bed.

"What's wrong?" Edward asked I leant forward. I inhaled again and the same smell was present.

"Do you smell that?" I said panicked. That's when hisses and growls filled the house. I turned to look at Edward whose face was a cold mask.

"The wolves." I choked as we started scrambling to get dressed, clothes flung everywhere as we scrambled into something to wear. Edward just shoved trousers on and flew out the door. What was going to happen? My breathing increased as I scrambled around the floor.

"Where the hell is my top?" I hissed to myself. Giving up I grabbed Edward's shirt and followed Edward out of the door.

"She was on our land." I heard a gruff voice as I stood at the top of the stairs, I looked over the railing to see a copper man pointing at me.

My eyes narrowed.

I opened my mouth to speak and noticed Edward and a wolf locked eye to eye. His name was Jacob.

"Bella is in Florida Jacob." Edward said and Jacob looked at me. I walked down the stairs and took my place next to Edward. Every Cullen was stood defensively.

"Stay out of my head bloodsucker." He hissed back.

"There is no need to be rude." I hissed and Edward squeezed my hand, Jake's eyes looked at our intertwined fingers and I increased my grip.

"Stay out of it leech." The leader screeched and my eyes narrowed. He started to flinch as Jane's stare slowly leaked out.

"Aurora don't." Edward warned putting himself in front of me. Sam, the leader stopped flinching. I watched as they wolves took in Edward's protective stance over me, and what I was wearing. Put that together with the way our hands were together, I was sure they would put the pieces together because I'm sure they could smell him all over me.

They weren't idiots although just children and animals.

Moronic dogs to be precise.

"Does Bella know what you have been up to?" Jake taunted to Edward and I flinched. Even though Edward has chosen me over Bella, he still loved her. I couldn't compete with that.

"No need to discuss personals what are you doing here?" Carlisle said stepping in. I breathed a sigh of relief that the subject of my love life was off the radar.

"Carlisle, do you not remember the treaty? No Cullen is to come onto our land." Sam growled and Carlisle nodded.

"I remember full well Sam, after all I was there. Aurora is not a Cullen." Carlisle spoke calmly. The words stung me. He was right, I wasn't a Cullen.

"Aurora?" he asked pointing to me.

"Well done doggy, next we learn how to sit." I taunted and Sam growled.

"What do you mean she's not a Cullen? She's not a vegetarian?" Another wolf demanded and I looked down at the floor.

"She's not a Cullen yet, and she's converting to vegetarianism." Edward spoke. My heart panged at "yet". A whole new future built inside my head, all built off that three letter word.

Not yet.

"We won't stand for this Carlisle." Sam spoke and then he left followed by the others. The room was silent. This was all my fault, I nibbled the end of my nails nervously.

"It's not your fault." Edward said suddenly turning to face me. "You helped us."

"Don't blame yourself dear, we need to go hunting are you coming?" Esme said putting a hand on my arm.

"No thank-you. I need to get dressed." I spoke politely and then I excused myself from the room walking slowly back to my bedroom. I was suddenly pulled through a door.

"I'll be back soon." Edward purred in my ear as he pushed me against a heavy carpet that hung of the wall. My breathing was hitched as he leant in to kiss me, our lips brushed and then he pulled away. "Emmett is getting impatient." He laughed.

"What did you mean about a Cullen yet?" I asked quickly.

"We'll discuss it when I get back." He said and then he left the room. I stared around the room that was filled with music.

This was Edward's room.

My hand ran across the hundreds of CD's on the wall.

This was going to be an interesting discussion.

Somewhere in the distance a phone rang.
