Previously on Bella's Secret
"Peter would you mind setting my wife down" He stopped and gave her one last hug she ran over to me and settled in my arms Peters face was a full blown grin
"I hear congratulations are in order" I just shrugged and grinned
"Not only that but Ive already had one of the sucubi try to claim me at her mate" Peter and Charlotte laughed as Kim growled
"How the fuck is she still alive?" Peter yelled causing Kim and I to laugh as well after we calmed down we headed in side where Peter and Char embraced Jasper and glared at the child before joining us against the far wall
"Babe when are we going to leave, I'm starting to get a little hungry" I looked down at my wife and kissed her
"Well head out in a few minutes. Chinese ok?"
"Sounds perfect" She grinned and settled back into my arms for another few minutes, finally I decided it was time to head out
"Belle" Bella looked up
"Ya what's up?" everyone was looking at us I guess no one forgot the fact that we already knew each other and were family
"Kim's getting hungry so were gonna head out for the night, well be back in the morning and you and I are going to have a little chat ok" Bella sighed but nodded. Kim didn't even glance at her but hugged Peter and Char grabbed my hand and we headed out. We reached Port Angeles pretty quickly while Kim went to grab the Chinese, I went and grabbed dinner of my own and made sure to fill a water bottle with blood for her. We met at the hotel and settled in as she ate and drank and passed out. Today had been hard on her but sadly it was only the beginning.
Kim POV
Waking up in Garrets arms is the only place I feel safe and stable right now. Coming back to Bellas rescue after last time has really thrown me through and emotional loop, not to mention seeing my brother for the first time in over two-hundred years. Garret wrapped his arms tighter around me and buried his nose into my neck planting a kiss right behind my ear. I just grinned and snuggled deeper, causing him to chuckler.
"Come on Tiger it's time to wake up and deal with the bunny munchers" Not going to lie, I groaned like a child and snuggled deeper pulling the covers over my head. I was so happy in my current area. Garret just laughed and joined me under my blanket bumping noses with me making me open my eyes and fake glare at him, he just smiled.
"Do we have to go, we could just stay here happy and warm and almost pretend it's home with the sun!"
Garret gave a small chuckle. "Yes we have to, we both have scores to settle today, and I'm pretty sure your's is going to turn physical."
"Ugh fine. Get off me you pile of rocks" I pushed him off into the floor as he laughed at my tantrum. I just shook my head at him, he can be such a child sometimes, but God do I love him more than anything. I went into the small ensuite bathroom to brush my hair and teeth. I would've taken a shower but those tend to put me asleep, and since Ill need to wear off some steam after everything I'll just be getting all hot and sweaty anyways. Pulling on a white wife-beater over my black lace bra and basketball shorts. Throwing my hot tops on after and laceing them up. Looking back in the mirror I smiled at the reflection in it. I'm not super girly, I can do the girly thing but I prefer jeans and loose fitting clothes. I walked out of the bathroom and Garret is sitting on the bed lacing up his boots his favorite jacket thrown on the tv. He looked over and got off the bed. "Ready to go beautiful?" Nodding was all I could offer in truth I just want to go home and never enter a green wet area again.
The drive back to Hell was not long enough by any means. The hiss came from both of us at the stench we still haven't figured out. We parked and about four Native Americans came out from the trees as the Cullen Clan met us at the door, as well as Petter and Char coming from the garden area behind the house.
"Bella what is that God-awful smell" I ask as I exit the car. The Native's fucking glared at me, Bella laughed and the golden eyes looked offended.
"It's the pack, they smell awful to us to, it s thing with the whole natural enemies." What the hell does she mean by pack?
"What the hell do you mean by pack Isabella?" I growled I could feel my eyes flashing a bright blue. Everyone stepped up thinking they could stop me. Peter and Char stayed back smiling, and Garett his arm around my shoulder as comfort, not in restraint. A pained look crossed my supposed sisters face.
"A pack of wolves" she muttered. The snarl/ growl thing that left me was a noise I don't think I have ever made before.
"You asked me here to help with your cross-spawn child, you never said anything about werewolves. I'm going to kill you!" I can feel the vibrations racking across my body. Bella lept off the porch and ran up to me knowing how dangerous I was in this situation but not caring. She grabbed my hands in hers,
"Kim look at me" she spoke softly and timidly knowing it was a safer bet that way. My eyes zeroed in on her newborn red ones. "I would never have asked you here if there were any werewolves, I know the stories, I know the pain, he saved me to that day. The pack are shape shifters, they can change at will or with strong emotion, not with the full moon." The only thing in her eyes was pure honesty and love. The tremors subsided and my eyes stopped their glowing. Bella let go of my hands and stepped back to make sure I was ok.
"Peter!" I yelled across the driveway as I started stripping off my shirt, my scars became even more obvious than just the ones on my arms. The gasps from everyone was palpable. I turned and kissed Garett.
"Time for you to handle shit, I'm gonna go beat the shit out of Peter and let off some steam, that I think is only beginning." Garett nodded and let go as Peter kissed Char's cheek and followed behind me into what would be garden area I guess I don't fucking know! I hate flowers. As I began my warm up stretches and breathing techniques to settle my mind, Peter decided now was a great time to ask stupid questions.
"So little tiger, are you ever going to give him back his memories?" I rolled my head and shoulders as I looked up to the sky. "I don't really know Petey Pie" he choked back a laugh at his nick name. I just looked back at him and smiled " You know why he asked me to take them in the first place, and you also know why you and Char's weren't taken" Peter nodded as he smiled "Ah my lovely mate, scary to everyone" We laughed as I nodded. After another minute of enjoying the moment we began to circle each other. The fight was on!
Garett POV
Everyone watched in shock as my wife stormed off by a giddy Peter. They have always had a blast sparing. The evil grin on Chars face was a little unsettling as she set off behind her mate and little sister to watch. No one spoke for a minute until Bella spoke up. "Alright Garett let's get this thing over with" I nodded and went to lead her over to the car, when Carlisle spoke up "You're welcome to use my study it's sound proof" Bella just waved him off " Not needed but thanks Carlisle". With that we walked past the car and to the edge of the driveway still fully in the zone of being heard that is until Bella closed her eyes and it slowly got to where I couldn't hear anything outside of our breathing. I just grinned as she opened her eyes. "Looks like Uncle Aro was right, you would become both a mental and physical shield" She only nodded and smiled. "Let me have it Garett I know I deserve it." I shook my head at her "No Bella you deserve to be dismembered and burned for everything you have put her through. " I could feel my anger rising at the thought of what a person I have called family has put my mate and wife through. "That piece of shit left you in the dirt like the dog he no longer fucking wanted! You were frozen in yourself until Charlie called her! She didn't even know you were fucking seeing someone after that dick in Arizona! She traveled here and helped you get better! And what did you do you left her high and dry and ran after Fuckward all because Alice said to!"
"I had to Garett he was going to kill himself!" I rolled my eyese "Oh bullshit Isabella it was a fucking ploy to get you to go back to him and be oh so grateful he was alive! And you fell for it hook line and sinker!" She was shaking her head as venom tears clouded her eyes. "Then after you leave her high and dry, she fucking called her dad and her uncles and family and begs them to hide their thoughts of you to keep you safe! And you wanna know what fucking happened that stupid cunt licker of a stepmother of hers found out! Two days later we received a package, in that package was every picture that he had of her with a note basically saying he no longer want's you to contact him in anyway! Kim nearly died from that! She thought she had lost the last of her family! Her fucking father!" Her head snapped up at that reveal "I didn't know, I would have been there for her!" "Oh bite me Bells you would not have you were to fucking busy kissing Edfucks ass!"
"Would you stop calling him names! He is my husband and the father of my child" I felt the red slip from my eyes with in a second and leave nothing behind but a flat black. "He has never offered me, you, my wife or anyone he deems beneath him any type of respect. You need to watch yourself Isabella your only a newborn and you won't win" Bella only stared at me as she took a deep breath. "I'm sorry Garett I know he is a touchy subject for you and her. And with good reason. I know I should've been a better friend, I know there's something she's hiding from me now but Peter and Char know, I also know how hard it is for her to be here with her brother not knowing who he is, and knowing there's a chance she will have to face her father and family. Did you guys bring your cloaks?" I snorted "Of course we did Bella." She only nodded. Neither of us spoke for a few minutes. "Bells you're my little sister, you have been since I met you guys when you were only thirteen, her dad and I have protected you time and time again, and she has literally murdered for your protection and could have cost herself her father for you. You want things to change, you want her to tell you what she's hiding, you want the best Aunt your little girl could ever ask for then you need to talk to her, apologize and mean it and mend the rift that you and only caused." Bella nodded and closed her eyes again, slowly the sounds of the world came back to be, the snarling of Kim as she spared, the laughter as Char cheered her on and the concern in the faces of the Cullens watching me and Bella as we argued in her little bubble. With a last look at Bella I turned and left heading over to the sparring happening.
As I approached Kim jumped so high that even I was impressed and kicked Peter down sending him through the trees and about 6 feet into the ground, she stood there heaving and smiling a very care free smile. Peter came back dusting himself off and laughing. "Alright, Alright, Alright I give I give" Kim's smile only got wider and I'm not sure there has ever been a more beautiful sight. Peter glanced over at me, smirked and winked before grabbing their shirts off of the tree branch and passing her's to her as she walked into my outstretched arms. The kiss I gave her was full of want and desire, she eagerly responded stretching up on her tip toes to make the kiss deeper. There was a throat clearing that broke us apart. Kim glared while I just looked at Carlisle and Esme. "What the fuck do the parents want?" Ah my wife always the one with the words.
"Language young lady" Esme admonished. I just stepped back, my girl had a mother and she doesn't need or want another one. "Esme I'm going to be polite but clear ok, I had a mother, she died a long time ago, she is the only one who could or would have any type of parental power over me. You keep your fucking mouth shut when it come to me or you'll lose your tongue until I leave" Esme gasped and covered her mouth with her hands in surprise. Carlisle the ever calming one tried to make things better. "Now you are a guest in my house currently at the request of Bella, I believe you owe my wife an apology and us information on who you are"
"I owe you nothing" She growled. Carlisle was about to speak when Bella stepped into their view. "She owes you nothing Carlisle she's here at my request. This is who she is, you need to back off. The only person around here who anyone owes anything to is me to her. " Bella looked at Kim "I truly am sorry for everything I have done and how selfish I've been. I took advantage of our relationship and the relationship I have with your father. You have always been and always will be my sister and my best friend, my other half. I truly am sorry"
The tension could be tasted in the air as we all waited for Kim's reply. My lovely mate just simply nodded and kissed Bella's cheek. To Kim this was the most she would offer in a form of weakness in public but it basically means she forgives. "Bella is there any food in the vampire nest or should I go out again?"
"No there's food I was actually about to start fajitas for Nessie and the Wolves, wanna help?"
"What recipe?"
"The one from the neighbor in south Phoinex with the dog that hated me"
"Fuck yes! Let's go!" With that statement the my girl and her sister were inseparable again and headed into the house and the kitchen to start dinner!
AN* I hope you enjoyed this chapter. The next one will start up with Kim and Bella in the Kitchen and the Wolves will finally start to make themselves known fully! I'm going to do better on updating!
