Taking my book from Rose I sit it in front of Zelena opening Regina's story "read out loud" I order tapping it before sitting down as Victoria steps up to turn the pages when ready.
Not getting her to do it Rose steps up forcing eye contact with her while leaning closer, I fight back my jealousy while watching her seeing how she uses a breathy tone before Zelena looks a little dazed "will you read it for me?" She asks stroking her face in a flirty manner.
"You have such a beautiful voice, I'd love it if you would read this for me" she adds.
Seeing her nod before cutting her eyes down to the book I raise my brow watching her slowly start reading "what did I do wrong?" I whisper to Dimitri.
"You haven't learned to use the full glamour, your way works for weak minded people that only notice looks, but there's different strengths, the stronger the mind a person has means you have to adjust to hit any weaknesses to get them to obey"
"Why wouldn't mine work?"
"She's mentally strong and stubborn, Rose is using scent, affection, and seduction to get her to listen
"She's insecure and wants to be loved, her scent lures her in better, the affection touch draws her closer because it's something she craves, and the tone with her touch adds the seduction making her feel desired" he adds.
Nodding I watch as Rose leans against her pressing her face closer to her neck from behind while her hands move to rest on her stomach "perfect, keep going beautiful" she whispers before stepping back slightly till she's put a respectable distance between them.
Seeing her completely release her I stiffen watching as Zelena frowns looking at the page I know involves Cora coming for her to save Regina, I hope she keeps reading I'm not sure I can handle Rose doing that again.
Sometime later
Seeing her sitting at the table with a blank expression before she snarls I raise my brow waiting to see if this will fail "she loved me?" She mutters under her breath and we act like we didn't hear or notice.
"Cora took her away from me and took my memories of someone who actually loves me" she adds louder.
"How do you have this?" She demands glaring at me.
"I found it, in the world Regina cursed everyone too I have a connection to this world and been trying to help them with revenge, you came up in the book as a possible threat so I decided to try changing it"
"In our world you could find a happy ending, it's not set to good or evil it's shades of gray, Maleficent's daughter is classed as villain but she's found true love that means you could as well" Rose adds.
"You could stand by your sister's side and if Cora comes for her, she'll have to face the realization that she failed to separate you two" Victoria says.
"Regina can't remember you yet but she needs her big sister to watch out for her, I know I need my big sisters to protect me even when I go off on my own against their wishes, I'd hate to see my life if I didn't have them, so instead of focusing on the wrong person you could direct your anger at the right one" I add.
"What's wrong with your eyes?" She asks frowning at us.
"It's complicated we'll answer that after you decide if you're willing to come with us"
"Where are we going if I come?"
"Well I have to stop back at our leaders for some tests then we'll go hunt down two others that need to answer some questions for us, by the time we head home it'll be a year I've been gone" I answer.
"I'll go" she finally says after a moment.
Victoria frees her and I watch as she walks off with Zelena to help her pack.
Emma pov back in Forks
Sitting at the computer I frown tapping my nails on the table looking at the screen with Ingrid "we need somewhere closer to Maine eventually, I'd prefer somewhere with weather similar to here but it's not a must".
Humming I nod "how about New Hampshire near the state line?" I ask "We could buy some land have it built and we can set it up as a preservation area for tax deductions, I'm sure we could find other ways as well".
Seeing her nod I smile as she grabs the keys while I call Dad to let him know what we're doing as she goes to get Esme, they'll make the trip and find a good area, Esme will be our architect to make the house big enough, she's gotten everyone's desires and started making plans for it and will account for the supernatural needs.
With the Cullens dead she took over the accounts belonging to that coven including houses that she's been selling off in areas none of them liked, while dividing up the ones that they did if someone wants them.
The Forks house will eventually be sold to the Queens, while our house will be sold Drake, Rose's house is going to the Queens as well and all three will be used as rest stops for vampires, our old home will be neutral ground so vampires or shifters can stop in for meetings, rest, or to eat during trips.
Watching them leave I smile shaking my head while moving to get the twins in the bug to take them to the Rez.
Pulling up I smile seeing Emily, Kim, Rachel, and Claire come out before Rachel comes up helping me get the twins out "hey Emma" she greets holding Harald's car seat with two hands.
"Hey Rach" I respond lifting Geoffrey's before following her to the house.
"We have a problem" Kim blurts out as I sit Geoffrey down.
"With?" I ask only to see them points to the water.
"They're here and refuse to speak with anyone but the Alpha"
Rolling my eyes I point to the twins before motioning Emily to follow me out, stopping just before the water I cross my arms seeing a head come up frowning "where is the Alpha?" She demands.
"Busy, we're their mates" I answer motioning between myself and Emily.
Seeing a body land in front of me I raise my brow seeing Jane raise up soaking wet hissing at them, I grab her shoulder making her stop before she lunges at them "your pet leech has been trying to convince our daughter to come on land".
Frowning I look at Jane seeing her eyes on the mermaid around her age before the one speaking moves between them causing her to snarl again "Jane, what's going on?" I ask.
"Mine" she snarls.
"Mate?"
Seeing her nod I squeeze her shoulder before moving her behind me ignoring her growling "Jane imprinted on your daughter, she's not a threat to her and would never hurt her she's trying to be closer to her mate".
Seeing her arms cross I raise my brow watching her glare at Jane "this is her home not land" she snarls.
Rolling my eyes I motion to myself "the sky is my mate's home while mine is land, the woods are her mate's home while hers is with humans" I say motioning to Emily at the end.
"Jane's not trying to take her away, she wouldn't stop her from being home" Emily adds.
