"Thank god Rosalie you got her."Tanya mumbled when she noticed Rosalie leading Bella out of the forest to the Cullen coven leader wasn't completely convinced that Bella would help them at all and knew she would have to thank Rosalie later for persuading walked slowly towards the couple stopping a few feet in front of the pair and bowing."Your majesty it is an honor to see you again."
"Hmm."Bella looked over the blond vampire noticing not much had changed since she last saw her.
"Be good."Rosalie knew that Bella would be unhappy being around people but had hoped that she would at least be polite to seemed that that hope was for not and when she noticed Edward rushing towards them and various guests that were at the house staring at them Rosalie prayed that no one would say anything stupid.
"Who are you and why can't I read you mind?"Edward demanded as he got in Bella's face.
"How dare you speak to me like that!"Bella growled as she lunged at Edward and grabbed him by the throat.
"Bella!"Rosalie quickly ran to Bella trying to stop her from killing Edward."Bella don't kill 's an idiot but I'm sure that it is just because his family is in danger that has him acting so rudely."
"You better think before you speak again boy because family or not I will end you."Bella squeezed Edwards throat once more then threw him to ground.
"Edward!"Jessica Edward's mate ran to Edward checking him over frantically."Are you alright?"
"I'm fine she didn't hurt me."Edward glared at Bella flinching when Bella took a step towards him.
Rosalie grabbed Bella's arm to stop her from going after Edward again."Edward apologize to you did was uncalled for."
"Me?I should apologize?That woman attacked me!"Edward wasn't going to apologize to some stranger with an anger problem.
"Edward if you don't apologize to Bella then I will take the entire Denali coven and go back to Alaska and wash my hands of you and your family."Tanya wasn't going to deal with people being rude to dragon was their only hope to save Irina and if someone pissed her off enough then Tanya had no problem believing Bella would leave them all to their death and go back to her keep.
"You wouldn't."Edward was aghast that Tanya would even threaten to leave.
"Oh I would."Tanya promised.
"Son apologize."Carlisle wasn't sure exactly who this newcomer was but as he moved to stand next to Edward he realized that she was very red eyes with the dancing orange flames was enough warning they didn't want the woman Bella as an enemy.
"But Carlisle she was the one."Edward began only to be cut off by Carlisle.
"I don't ."Carlisle wasn't going to let Edward leave until he did.
" I am sorry for the way I acted."Edward said through gritted teeth.
Noticing that Bella wasn't going to say anything Carlisle held out his hand hoping to defuse the Bella made no move to shake it he dropped it and smiled awkwardly."Welcome name is Carlisle this is my son Edward and his mate Jessica."
"This is my mate Bella."Rosalie told them and just like she predicted she was suddenly surrounded by people all asking questions.
"Everyone calm down."Tanya yelled to get control of the crowd.
"What do you mean calm down?Rosalie has a mate someone you obviously know and no one told us about this."Kate was surprised that Tanya kept this from them.
"How wonderful Rosalie we are so happy for you."Esme made a move to hug both Rosalie and Bella together but quickly stepped back when Bella growled at her.
"How long have you had a mate?"Emmett was his best friend he thought if Rosalie was mated she would have told him.
"I met Bella a year after I was turned."Rosalie told them.
"Why didn't you introduce us?"Carlisle was hurt that Rosalie didn't feel comfortable telling them about her mate.
"Bella doesn't particularly like being around others."Rosalie decided that would be her go to answer to any of the where has Bella been questions.
Tanya laughed earning confused looks from the her throat she spoke."Sorry inside joke."
"My love you promised me food."Bella reminded was over spending time with these people and was hungry.
"Of course, I'll make you something."Rosalie was happy to have an excuse to leave the group although she knew that they wouldn't be leaving her and Bella alone for long.
"You know how to cook?"Rachel Emmet's mate asked in surprise.
Rosalie rolled her eyes at the wide eye looks of surprise she was getting."Of course I know how to else would I feed my mate?"
"It's just you have never shown an interest in it."Esme said coming to Rachel's defense.
"No I've never had a reason to cook for anyone other than Bella that's all."Rosalie corrected."Also you will need to send someone to the store for more groceries."
"We have plenty of food here I promise."Esme said.
"After Bella is done eating you won't have enough food to make a snack let alone another meal."Rosalie told her as she led Bella into the ignored all the occupants and made her way into the kitchen."What are you in mood for?"
"Surprise me."Bella liked when Rosalie made her human was a rare treat as usually Bella just hunted in her dragon form and didn't take the time to cook.
Rosalie looked through the refrigerator and freezer."It looks like we have a lot of beef and some is also some fish if you are feeling adventurous."
"I would enjoy whatever you cook for me."Bella told her.
"I'll get some steaks going so you have something to hold you over while I make you a proper meal."Rosalie enjoyed cooking for her mate and was happy she had a chance to use an actual kitchen because usually she cooked over an open fire in Bella's keep or got take out food for the dragon if they were amongst civilization.
"Do you want me to grill the steaks?"Tanya asked as she entered the group had already started off on the wrong foot with Bella and the coven leader wanted to fix things before Bella decided to leave.
"That would be nice thank you."Rosalie said.
"I'll be back."Tanya told them.
"So Bella where is it you are from?"Carlisle asked as he along with Esme made their way into the was decided that Edward stay away from the woman until a better relationship was formed.
"She is a nomad."Rosalie wasn't going to tell them anything about where Bella actually wouldn't be safe for others to know.
"I have never seen anyone with eyes like yours you mind me asking what type of species you are?"Carlisle asked.
"It's none of your business what Bella is."Rosalie shut that down right one was going to find out Bella was a dragon.
"I see."Carlisle didn't understand why Rosalie was answering for Bella as the woman seemed more than capable of had a feeling that finding out information on Rosalie's mate was going to be didn't dissuade him however because he felt that it was important to know if Bella was a threat to everyone."Are you here to help with the Volturi?"
"Yes, she was nice enough to come when I asked."Rosalie told them.
"Does that mean you are going to train with us?"Carlisle asked.
"No she will not be training with us."Rosalie was going to keep Bella far away from any love would not hold back from killing anyone who challenged her.
"So you are here as a witness?"Carlisle could accept Bella not wanting to himself hoped that this whole situation would be resolved without any violence.
"She is here as a favor to me."Rosalie wasn't going to explain that Bella was probably going to be the one that saved all of them because it wasn't anyone's business what Bella's relationship with the queens was.
"Well we are thankful for any help we can get."Esme said stopping Carlisle from asking anymore was obvious that Rosalie wasn't going to tell them anything about her mate and Bella didn't look like she would even speak to them let alone answer any of their questions."Rosalie would you like some help making Bella's food?"
"No, I'm fine."Rosalie enjoyed providing for her mate and making Bella food was a way that she was able to do that.
"Are you sure?"Esme wasn't sure how great Rosalie's cooking was and wanted to make sure that Bella was given something edible.
"This isn't the first time I've cooked for my a matter fact I cook all her meals when we are together."Rosalie understood Esme's concern but it was somewhat insulting that people doubted her skills.
"Sorry, It's just a new experience seeing you in the kitchen."Esme was expecting that they were going to have to get used to many new things with having a mate and being a chef just two of them.
"Cooking is something I enjoy doing for Bella.I am not inclined to waste the energy doing it for anybody else."Rosalie told the ingredients ready for the chicken curry she was making Rosalie turned her attention to Bella."Bella do you want to try some chips?"
"What are chips?"Bella asked.
"You don't know what chips are?"Carlisle wasn't sure what to make of Rosalie's woman was a complete unknown but not knowing what chips were when she obviously ate food made him even more suspicious of what kind of supernatural she was.
Rosalie ignored Carlisle question as she opened a bag of chips and handed them to Bella."They are potatoes that are cut thinly and fried in oil."
"Thank you my love."Bella tried one of the chips pleased with the way they tasted."These are very good."
"They come in different flavors so the next time we go shopping I will get some different kinds for you to try."Rosalie would have to somehow convince Bella to go grocery shopping with originally wanted to send someone else but didn't think they would actually get enough food to cover Bella's meals.
"Here are your steaks Bella."Tanya said as she entered the kitchen with a platter piled high with ten large steaks setting them in front of Bella.
"You are going to eat all of those?"Carlisle asked in surprise.
"How about we leave Rosalie and Bella alone while Bella eats."Tanya grabbed Carlisle and Esme's arms and led them out of the kitchen not even waiting for them to she was walking out she looked over her shoulder and gave a small smile to Rosalie as she mouthed the words thank you.
"I think we have some steak sauce you can put on those."Rosalie offered.
"They are fine like this."Bella told her as she lifted the steak with her hands ignoring any utensils and ate large bites barely chewing before swallowing.
Rosalie smiled lovingly at her mate as she grabbed a napkin and wiped some steak juice off of Bella's chin."You are so messy."
"It's lucky I have you to help keep me clean."Bella quipped.
"I'm the lucky one in this relationship."Rosalie told simply hummed in reply and went back to eating her wasn't kidding when she said she was the lucky was an extraordinary being and Rosalie was humbled that fate had chose her to be the dragon's fact that Bella being as isolated as she was even took the time to spend with Rosalie was amazing but the way Bella treated her like she was the most precious treasure she owned made Rosalie feel loved and cared back to work on her chicken dish Rosalie Bella would get through this situation without losing her patience with the whole group of already had the Volturi to worry about they didn't need a pissed off dragon as well.
