Circe was a goddess of sorcery who was skilled in the magic of transmutation, illusion, and necromancy.
Artemis: Goddess of nature, childbirth, wildlife, the Moon, the hunt, sudden death, animals, virginity, young women, and archery
It was certainly one of the most beautiful aspects of having such advanced eyesight. The ability to zone out and shut out the endless drone of sound she was forced to constantly hear without a seconds rest. By focusing on the details no human eye would be able to see, she could find a moments peace. The intricate details of every snowflake that landed on the strawberry blonde tips of her curled hair. She took in a deep breath, a crisp fresh scent of freshly packed snow. The release of air did not create even the slightest plume of smoke. Why would it when there was no warmth that came from inside of her. She copied the human action she’d seen many times over and tightened her hold on her jacket. Though it provided no actual change in her body temperature it still had a feeling of normalcy, the slight pressure change was almost enough to trick her mind that she was warming her cold body up. Her eyes looed up from her hair, landing on her gloves, and then they began to scan the horizon as they did every morning as of late, perhaps today would be the day she’d change her mind. Seen how mistaken she had been. The soft crunching of two pairs of feet on the hardened snow let her know her peaceful morning was about to come to an end.
“Tanya.”
“Don’t.”
“Tanya. We cannot survive like this.”
“You are always welcome to leave Eleazar. I’ve never forced you to stay here.”
“Tanya please, my husband means no harm. With all of the protection efforts being put in place we only worry we will attract attention.” Carmen tiptoes around the blonde, her patience growing thinner by the day.
“I will not stray from the diet. You are more than welcome to go back to eating humans but do so away from my home.”
It was an empty threat. Tanya didn’t have it in her to feel otherwise. For years life had been peaceful, perhaps sad at times when they would remember their losses but peaceful nonetheless. Then Garrett got bored. As far as Tanya was concerned this was all his fault. He had always been rather obnoxious to her, his shameless flirting had won over her sister and suddenly she became the only one without a mate. Without love. It wasnt fair. Human men no longer satisfied her, she was getting reckless. Using too much of her strength. Tanya had convinced herself that they were going unnoticed. She was a fool. With the years passing men seemed to become weaker? No. Stronger. Louder. More Aware.
。゚❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ❁ུ۪ ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ゚。
‘What are you?’
‘Why are you doing this?’
‘Please…stop’
Those words were the ones that stuck out the most. Before she could control her thirst, sure there were casualties both now… no one had ever told her to stop. She’d heard the stories from Rosalie, Siobhan, the horrors they went through. Tanya had been sick for weeks, discovering she had been no better than those monsters who had hurt her friends. How many men had done as she asked out of fear? It had been driving her mad for weeks. Had she been so blind to think they enjoyed it when she could barely feel anything at all? Then Garrett just had to question her recent lack of nightlife.
‘What’s the matter barbie? Tired of ravaging the villagers?’
‘What... did you just say?’
‘Garrett.’ Kate hissed
‘What? Are we still pretending they enjoy could ever enjoy our company that way?’
‘Would you suggest we kill them?’ Tanya scoffed at the idea, surely it couldn't have been that bad.
He shrugged, ‘I’m sure most them knew it could happen, probably would have prefered it in most cases. You can go on pretending as much as you want but just like Carlisle and his family…they can tell. No matter how much we may want we dont...we arent like them. All we do is cause pain Tan. No matter what way we come into conatct with them.’
He… knew? Did her sister? Did she care? Did she even want to know? No, not really, what Tanya wanted was an excuse. Garrett gave her an excuse. Suddenly the long peaceful days had turned into screaming matches filled with accusations, fights, threats. Every grievance aired like laundry. It was only days before they were at an impasse.
‘You need to get him out.’
‘He’s just worried. We all are. And by the way, you may have been turned first but you are not in charge of me.’
‘Kate please. We have lost too much to be at each others throats like this.’
‘Oh please. Stop. Just stop bringing it up. You act as if this is all his doing. We both know this stopped being about—‘
‘Don’t.’
Kate sighed, ‘It stopped being about "her" ages ago. You were basically her daughter, when she couldn’t replicate you with me, she turned Irina. Do you ever think I wanted this to be forced into a family I knew nothing about? It was only when Visili had come up that you even noticed a fraction of her neglect. Tell me sister, you were the one with the wonderful idea to find someone who could comfort us in our grieve... tell me how many men did you smell on me? You think I lured men to comfort myself? I’ve play along enough.’
‘You…wanted to kill them? Want to kill them? Even now?’
‘God- are you even…. Look. I do not care to hide what I am. We need food. I just played with mine a little.’ Kate shrugged, she said it so simply. A fact that everyone should know. It was something her and Irina never talked about, how Kate always seemed to leave early, never having even a hint of any man on her. Women sometimes but not in that way...Tanya blinked a few times to try and regain her composure.
‘And the women?’ She scoffed, both knowning Kate would never put herself in a position to harm another woman. Neither did Tanya, she supposed maybe deep down she did know what she was doing.
‘Better company. We all grieved differently. But times have changed.’ End of discussion. Tanya had to refocus the conversation, she wouldn't, couldnt lose another sister. Especially not because of her doing.
‘What do we do then?’
‘There’s less animals lately, don’t try and pretend otherwise. We can’t feed too much without drawing attention from the humans.’
‘You can’t be serious.’
‘I’m done arguing Tanya. There’s too many conservation efforts and the locals are noticing the alarming lack of animals. We have to get off the diet. It-" Kate took a quick breath, steadying herself in an attempt to show her sister she was on her side, "It doesnt have to be a permanent solution.'
'No.' Tanys turned away quickly trying to stop whatever conclusion was coming
'Tanya.' Kate grabbed her shoulder, causing the shorter blond to whirl back around, furious. Kate took a step back, there was a new rage building in her sister. Something she had never seen before, and certainly never thought it could ever be aimed towards her.
'I said NO!' Tanya shook with rage. This was all she had left. She needed to keep this one thing, even if just for herself. She had never raised her voice with so much venom at her sister. Her voice to something that could only be described as a mere notch above a whisper, 'If you're so worried...go.'
'Tanya...' The sisters stared at eachother for what seemed an eternity. The silence was so deafening they thought they were able to hear the snow landing on the ground. Eleazar and Carmen watched Kate seem scared for the first time in their life. Her own voice soft, laced with concern
'If you insist on changing our lifestyle. Fine. Leave. And go eat happily elsewhere."
Kates lip trembled for only a second before her steel reserve returned, her eyes darkening, 'Fine.'
Garrett suddenly tried to be the one to diffuse things, started apologizing for angering Tanya to get them to where they were now. In truth, with food this sparce they had all begun worrying. He would never live with himself if Kate lost her sister. ‘Look Tanya, I shouldn’t have—‘
But before he could say more Kate grabbed his hand. With a slight shake of her head, Garret quietly nodded and followed his mate out the door.
。゚❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ❁ུ۪ ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ゚。
Now… here it was. Only weeks later and it was Carmen and Eleazars turn. And Tanya was too numb to care. She would rather starve for eternity, petrify before having to change the diet. It had been too long. It was the only thing she had been good at. She needed this. At least thats what she was telling herself. Maybe she could join the Cullens for a while. Not likely. She knew they were struggling too and with the amount of people in the coven any food would be a fight to acquire. She sighed as Carmen came up best to her placing her hands around her arms, the touch alone was enough to almost break her.
“We will see if there’s any luck elsewhere.” Tanya just nodded, “Call us anytime.”
With a kiss her and Eleazar ran off. Maybe to join Kate and Garrett. Maybe they would actually try. She couldn’t watch someone else leave her. Not again, she decided to head inside pretend none of this was happening, ignore the gnawing at her throat and stomach. Tanya retreated to the bathroom turning on the bath as hot as it would allow her. She didn’t have to worry about it burning anyway, so why not?
Drip. Drip. Drip.
She counted every drop from the faucet. The steam from her bath dissipated, by the time she was well into the four hundred some odd drop the water had cooled. Her head turned towards the window in her room at a sudden noise. The sun was already setting in the distance, hues of orange, pink and purple painted the sky. She may have smiled at the thought of it if she hadn’t been so preoccupied with someone possible awaiting to attack her. Maybe the volturi decided it was time to pick her off. She sat up too quickly at the thought. The water splashed around as she sat up, drowning the noise.
“Shhh!” She hushed her self immediately, not quite believing she had actually tried to quiet water. She heard something she knew she had. While she could smell nothing but her own candles and perfumes she held out hope it was one of her coven mates. She quickly dressed and rushed towards her bedroom window. It wasn’t her family. It wasn’t anyone she had ever come into contact before.
She saw a figure walking away from her home, head full of ebony hair, braids woven into random strands.
Who was she? And what the hell was she doing here? Tanya thought to herself. She rushed faster than she ever had out to the front of her home, by the time she reached the deck the woman was gone. She saw her a mile in the distance, no human being could move that quickly, but when the woman turned it was clear she was not like Tanya either. Tanya’s hand gripped at the railing of her porch, the wood crackling at the pressure as she continued to stare at the retreating figure walking away.
When she was at the edge of the forest she finally turned, smiling and waving at Tanya before continuing deeper into the wilderness. The woman could only be described as ethereal by Tanya. She wore clothes that couldn’t possibly keep her warm, as if only for appearances. Just like her. She quickly made it to where she was just standing, her footprints already disappearing with the fading light and continuous downfall of snow.
Tanya listened as hard as she could, she heard a soft voice. She could also smell the sudden appearance of blood. A deer. There hadn’t been one near the house in months. Her hunger clouded her judgement, her sole priority to feed on whatever poor creature decided to return.
There was only a small clearing but enough to see the giant caribou, her eyes focused on the deer. Why wasn’t it running? Tanya could taste the warm pool running down her throat, finally, something was going right. She hissed at the animal, give it a chance to run. Make this more exciting. A warm laugh erupted from behind giant creature. And the woman stepped out from behind,
“I should be somewhat offended, but I guess he is really beautiful isn’t he?” Tanya let out a snarl, a warning. This woman needed to back away unless she wanted to become a casualty herself. She didn’t even flinch. She continued to pet the wild creature and laughed, a warm beautiful laugh. Tanya stared at her sepia brown skin, it shone in contrast to the white surrounding her. Her voice made Tanya snap to attention, “you won’t be eating this one.”
“Oh I’m not? Are you going to stop me?”
“I guess not. But I will help out this little guy.”
Before Tanya could ask what she meant the deer began disappearing before her eyes, “No!”
“Tsk. Tsk. We should be careful with earths most precious resources.”
“Bring. It. Back.”
“Why? So you can eat? There’s an overpopulation of humans for you to feast on. If you want them to survive so badly it would actually benefit you to put the smallest dent in some of them.” She took a few steps closer to Tanya. A lopsided smirk on her face as she almost skipped across the snow with her arms behind her back, she stopped right before Tanya, tilting her head as close as she could, “Your eyes. They’re darker than the night sky.”
Tanya growled, swinging her arm towards the girl in front of her. She disappeared as quickly as her arm went up. Suddenly reappearing next to a tree, she leaned against it holding waving one finger, “I thought we were getting along, tell me Tanya of the Denali coven, how long will it take for you to go back to a regular diet. I’m growing tired of these enchantments.”
“Who are you and what do you want?”
“You don’t listen very well do you? I need you start hunting humans, like you’re supposed to. Hunt the rich ones, or the evil ones so you appease whatever guilt you have.”
“I—who are you?”
“Aspa. Lovely to meet you.”
Tanya fixed her hair, trying to regain her composure, “so you’re the one behind all the missing animals.”
“Yes…and no. There really has been a problem. Humans…they’re greedy they take too much, destroy too much. They have been destroying this world since they were allowed to walk around….but they’re smart. No animal means no resources from them to take. So if enough of them disappear for a while they begin making an effort. An actual effort, if only to ensure they survive.”
“So how long until that effort pays off.” Tanya spit out
“You surprise me Tanya. Your extended family broke so quick it was almost too easy.”
“You mean—“
“Oh yea. The Cullens have long been off the diet, the doctor and blonde were difficult to convince but wow the younger guy, he broke instantly. All it took was for their youngest to feed on a poor classmate trying to walk her home, like dominoes really. But you… you want to starve yourself.”
“I would rather not actually.”
“Does it help?”
“Help what?”
“You’re guilt? Does it take it away?”
“I don’t…”
“Please. I had to observe all of you for years to know how to best accomplish all of this. It won’t change what you did to those men.”
Tanya choked back a sob, “I didn’t think—“
“Why? Because no one ever said anything? You knew. Deep down you knew.”
“I get it okay? I’m a monster, I just—I wanted to think they cared about me enough to say nothing. I thought they—forget it” Tanya turned to walk away, but Aspa reached out and grabbed her arm
“So then be better. If you really didn’t know then stop and just continue to not do it. Besides most of those men approached you with less than good intentions anyway.” Tanya shook her off, she had no idea what she’d gone through
“But…”
“Just do better. Find your own person.”
“Where did you even come from?”
She clicked her tongue, “well that’s not very nice is it?” She waited for Tanya to look away, embarrassed. “My birth mother I suppose. She was a hunter and follower of Artemis. A god took a liking to her, she said no, he didn’t care. You know know how it all goes in those stories. Artemis took pity on her, let her give me up so she continue following the goddess. And then little me well… she took me to an island gave me her blessing and I was raised by a wonderful enchantress, my adopted mother I suppose.”
“Goddess? That’s impossible.”
“Why?”
“There are no gods like that. They….aren’t real”
“Maybe to you? They’re plenty real to me. I’m sure the caribou you were thirsting over would be shocked to learn about something like the pudu in South America.”
“Are you equating me to an animal?”
Aspa laughed again, “you love to purposefully avoid what people are trying to communicate with you. Is that why your sister decided to go back to the original meal plan?”
“No I just— I don’t understand.”
Aspa leaned forward, stopping centimeters from Tanya’s face, eliciting a gulp from the blonde, “Understand this. The animals will not return anywhere until I say so. You will not be able see, hear or touch them. No one will.”
“What about the humans? Without animals don’t you think they will outsource all of the plants?”
“Oh Tanya don’t worry about them. They will find exactly how much they need and if some must go…well. That will work out better in the long run.”
She tried to step back but Aspa stepped forward regardless, Tanya could barely breather. Aspas scent filled every cell in her body. Her blood smelled sweet, as if she was filled with the ichor of the gods she claimed to be a descendant of. Her mischievous grin slightly reminded her of Kate whenever people would doubt her abilities. Could she really go back to the old diet? Aspa reached out and raised Tanya’s chin. The heat from her touch felt as if her handprint would be permanently etched on her face. Tanya half hoped it would, before she convinced herself and this was all a dream.
“Tanya you worry too much. Believe me there are plenty of people for you to eat where it shouldn’t harm your conscious. Really, you’d be doing me a favor. You should visit the Amazonian coven, they’ve been helping me with my little homework since I began.” Somehow the knowledge of Aspa showing herself to another vampire almost urged another snarl from her lips.
“You’ve been making your rounds then?”
Another chuckle as she turned around flipping her thick hair as another rush of her scent filled Tanya nose, citrus and what smelled like some type of spirit, “I had to get in touch with your ‘kings’ so yes, you are the last on my list.”
“What?! You’ve met with the volturi?”
She crossed her arms as she made her way towards the end of the clearing, “of course. I did. Your kind isn’t the only ones I’m working with here. The fae and nymphs were the easiest to convince. The witch too but they mainly enjoy the chaos. Most of the others are unaffected. It’s a big world Tanya. You should see more of it when you have the chance.”
The clearing seemed to widen, as if the earth was ready to swallow the woman into the trees. Never to be seen again. It was too much for Tanya to process. Already Aspa had begun disappearing, except unlike the first time this evening she feared not knowing if she would ever see her again. “So that’s it?”
She turned back and simply nodded her head, “mhm. In another few years everything should be back to normal. Some places may even be overpopulated…that is if you want to go back to hunting them.”
“If I do... Will you take them away again?”
“Tch please, aside from my mother who was kind to let learn her magic. I follow the one my birth mother followed too. And she was the best huntress there ever was. There’s a fine line between necessity and sport.” She smiled as she peered behind her shoulder, “I’ll see you around, yeah?”
“Hm is that a promise or a threat?”
She stopped dead in her tracks, “I guess we’ll see. Won’t we?”
。゚❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ❁ུ۪ ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ゚。
“Tanya.”
“Go away.” Her sister voiced grated her ears, she decided to cover herself in blankets
“Tanya so help me I will shock you out of bed, you can’t lay around all day.”
Tanya continued to cocoon herself in blankets, “I can actually. What does it matter anyway I’m just laying down. It’s only been a few days.”
Kate sighed as she sat on the edge of the bed, “you’ve gotten like the past two here years around this time.”
“I have not.”
“You have. I know because around the time we had that fight.”
Tanya sighed knowing full well that had little to do with it, “I promise I’m fine. I just….I want to rest.”
Kate groaned in her protests, slapping her legs as she stood up, “Nope we are all doing something so get up.”
Tanya had no time to protest before Kate promptly kicked her off the bed, Tanya struggled to get out decidedly just tearing through the thick blankets, downing effectively covering every square inch of her room, “Kate! What the hell??”
Kate laughed, “well it worked.”
Garrett rested his arm on the doorway, “if I knew feathers would have been flying I would have been in here from the beginning.”
“I’m sure you would have.” Kate winked at him causing Tanya to roll her eyes
“Ugh. You win I’m up. Now get out, I need to clean.”
“No the point is to get out. Come on, we haven’t ran in awhile. We can go find one of those hanging lakes the humans live to visit.”
“I do hear they’re quite beautiful.” The three whirled around towards the sound of someone coming from the deck in Tanya’s room. Aspa sat on the railing pretending to inspect her nails. Kate and Garrett snarled and lunged towards her. Tanya opened her mouth to protest but Aspa disappeared into dust before either one could grab her. Garrett almost crashed into the railing towards the floor below. She reconfigured next to Tanya her arm resting on her shoulder.
“I see you haven’t told your friends about me. I’m not sure why but I think I’m slightly offended.”
“You’re….back?”
“I did say I would be.” She quickly looked over Tanya, “I’m glad you listened, the red suits you.”
Tanya looked away at the compliment. Kate looked between her sister and the stranger, in all the centuries between them she’d yet to see her sister ever get flustered like this. “Yo-you know her?”
Aspa wiggled her fingers, scrunching her face in a smile. “Oh we’re acquainted. I promised to pay Tanya here a visit.”
Tanya shrugged Aspa off, wondering what it meant that she was finally back, “so it’s done? It’s all balanced?”
“Since last year actually, I just wanted to see if you would go back. You never even checked.”
“I found ways to appease my guilt.”
“You’ll have to tell me about them sometime.”
Kate started to protest before Garrett wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her into him as he slightly nodded and winked, “come on Katie. I thought we were going to race. Let’s let Tanya and her… friend catch up.”
Kate looked up at her mate, a conversation passing through them before she nodded and the two disappeared from the cabin. Aspa was mouthing a goodbye to the pair as Tanya spun to face her new guest fury climbing at her.
“Why are you here?”
“I told you I would come.” She shrugged, “isn’t that why you asked me about the promise?”
“What you couldn’t communicate earlier than today?”
“I didn’t know you wanted me to.”
“We both know you are smarter than that.”
Aspa softened tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, she trailed the back of her hand down her cheek and until she hand chin in between her thumb and pointer finger, “you’re right. That was rude of me. Can you forgive me?”
She pushed her hand away from her face, “ugh. No.”
“No?” She stepped away a pout starting to form on her face
“No. You have to do better than that.”
“Okay well I know of a few places I doubt even you’ve stepped foot on, would you like to see them?”
“I guess seeing as I have nowhere to be.”
“Oh don’t be like that. It will be the best date you’ve ever been on.”
“Who says it’s a date?”
“I do. Come on. I’ll show you a great time.” Aspa extended her hand, Tanya hesitated for only a second before grabbing it. “Ready?”
“Where are we even going?”
“Somewhere warm, where you don’t have to worry about hiding yourself.”
“I doubt anyplace warm can offer that kind of freedom.”
“You doubt me?”
“I—no. It’s just…”
Aspa interrupted Tanya with a kiss in the corner of her lips. “Don’t worry it will be perfect.”
“You’re right. It will be.”

Hi👋🙂
I want to say I love your page, you have so much stuff for the Denalis and the Egyptian Coven(I love them both so much so I love reading your work) anyway, I saw your Aumn kisses HC and I was wondering if you could do headcanons on kissing Eleazar.
Have a nice day.
Awe thank you so much! I do love the Egyptian coven and as no one writes about my boy Amun nicely i enjoy making him seem kinder than what we saw in the movie and books. The Denali are not my favorite coven but I do enjoy making them more than an extension of the Cullens! I hope you enjoy the headcanons ♥️
•Denali Kisses•
Tanya
I think Tanya is for the most part the most likely to emulate a humanistic relationship
Or what she thinks is a normal human relationship
She she will kiss your cheek or do the French kiss where they more so kiss the air next to your cheek when she says hello or goodbye
I think the first time you two kids will be the most passionate. I imagine the two of you are dancing together and she is trying to avoid eye contact because her heart is metaphorically beating out of her chest
She’s used to luring people in but they didn’t look past the surface level, not like you anyway. You’d actually tried to know her and I mean actually know her before you even thought about dating and Tanya is never going to forget that
Kate
Kate’s kisses honestly I feel like you’d never want them to end (and same tbh)
She is big on those kisses where it’s like on the verge of making out
You know where they don’t pull away for a few seconds
Probably bites your lip a little as you finish kissing her
Much more feverish when you’re both alone
Irina
Honestly whatever you like is what she’s doing
Big people pleaser this one
Carmen
Depends on the mood but with Carmen it’s more absent minded
You’re holding hands? She’s lifting your hand up to kiss it
You’re cuddling she’s going to look up and kiss your neck or cheek
It’s very natural for her to be affectionate and she’s very good at it
She tends to put her hands on your chest when she kisses you more deeply, if it starts to get serious she will wrap her arms around your neck
Eleazar
You know something about this man kissing just 😮‍💨
The first time he kissed you he asked if it was okay to do so and let me tell you…he used that permission to the fullest
He placed his hands on each side of your face, gently gripping your hair as he brought your face to his
The kiss itself was soft but grew quickly and made you hungry for more tbh
Now when he kisses you he enjoy to lift your chin so he can take in your face before he leans down to kiss you
His kisses don’t linger as long as Kate’s but he takes his time

Tanya Denali MASTERLIST
Tumblr media Tumblr media
People, or if I were being super precise: humans, vampires and werewolves, started slowly filling the forest avenue. Carlisle with Esme welcomed the guests at the entrance suggesting to them, I should note a very expensive, glass of champagne.
Your own glass of bubbly drink was twisting in your hand as you stood leaning against one of the wrapped in what seemed like dozens of lightbulbs tree. You didn't particularly enjoy the champagne but it was a day for celebration: so one glass couldn't damage my taste buds too bad.
In the meantime, the rest of the Cullen family's women were stuck adding the last touches to their outfits and Bella, of course, while Emmet was finishing his last quest of perfecting the wedding scenery that Alice requested. Who would have thought that from all the Cullens precisely Emmet would be the one who, as Alice phrased, had a vision of how this place was supposed to look like. And, of course, Edward and Jasper were attending to the already-arrived guests enchanting them with talks, or what I like to call chitchats, about the weather, the duration and the success of their trip here.
Eh, I dreaded the small talk.
That was one of the few reasons why you were instructed to stand somewhere in the back during the reception, trying not to draw too much attention to yourself. I won't lie that it didn't make much sense as if somebody would ever give more attention to anyone but the golden-eyed supermodels that walked and moved so gracefully it seemed like they were practically flowing through the forest scenery.
All of a sudden a light shiver bites washed over your shoulders, that feeling only visited your body when somebody was watching you, intensely and secretly. As unnoticeably as possible you wiggled your shoulder blades trying to shake the sudden sensation.
As you were pretending to make yourself more comfortable against the hardwood of the tree, your eyes scanned the forest scene and its already gathered guests. Your sight stubbled upon Jasper, who was standing across the alley from you, deep-dived into a small talk with a group of people.
Your eyes started to frame the group members person by person and it became more and more clear what those pale faces were. As your eyes finally settled on the blonde curly-haired woman, who unnaturally quickly turned their attention back to Jasper, it made the shivering sensation in your shoulders almost completely fade.
"What are you doing?" Emmett's voice pulled you out of a trance, you shook your head realizing you were stuck staring at the golden-eyed vampire for what you hoped was only a breath of a moment and not an embarrassing few minutes.
"I-... Emmett is that what I think it is?" you asked him, hardly breaking your attention from even back here incredibly stunning light-haired woman.
Not even glancing at the muscular vampire you could feel him smirk as he followed your gaze to the vampire clan. "Oh, Y/n, that's a forbidden fruit for you, my friend" he chuckled putting his hand on your shoulder.
His words confirmed your already pretty strong suspicion. "That's Denali Coven.."
"Mhm," an even bigger grin crossed Emmett's face as he clearly knew to who this whole conversation was turning. This was one of the few things that you liked about Emmett. He enjoyed mischief, teasing and sometimes even breaking the rules. So wasting no time he feed your curiosity and faded all your doubts by stating, "The woman that you cannot stop staring at is their leader, of course"
Before you could even realize that the words were escaping your lips, you heard yourself say, "Tanya Denali".
"You still gawping, you know" he added leaning into you.
You shook your head," No, I am not... I am just admiring"
"Whatever you call it, buddy" he chuckled pushing off you ready to continue his duties, but you grabbed him by the bicep stopping him in his tracks.
"Wait, what are they talking about?" you asked.
"I thought you do not like chitchats," Emmett teased while you just ignored his comment, "And by the way, can't you like," he wiggled his fingers in the air, "read their lips or something?"
You gave him an unimpressed look, "Even if I can, I can't read the back of Jasper's scalp, can I? Could you just please listen?" you asked nicely.
He chuckled at your courtesy, "Okay, let's see." He concentrated his attention on the group, "They are exchanging pleasantries and..."
For a split second, those golden eyes of Tanya's Denali's met yours as she mouthed a question you couldn't concentrate enough to read of her, what you imagined were incredibly cool and soft, lips as Emmett released the "Oh, damn it.." sound.
Before you could even ask what happened he speed-walked away leaving your attention running between the group and the walked-off Emmett not concentrating on anything in particular. Until your eyes met not Jasper's honey-blonde curly crown anymore but his covered with slight surprise eyes.
Jasper lazily parted the answer to Tanya's question, looking straight at you, clear for you to read 'This is Y/n,' the unnecessary slow response gave you a nagging feeling that with his thoughts he was searching for Edward.
Your heartbeat quickened with your gaze slowly slipping from the Cullen to connect with Tanya's Denali's, even from here, mesmerizing amber eyes. You swore you felt the air vibrate around you as Tanya spelt your just learned name. You noticed how her eyes shadowed, that one emotion that Cullen's family hoped to avoid, intrigue.
Keeping eye contact with you she lifted her champagne glass into the air like greeting you. You imitated her gesture leaning your head slightly to the right, you could not neglect the basic courtesy, after all. Even if that decision was one of the most dangerous and yet one of the best I made that night.
Your essence probably would have been glued to Tanya's face for all eternity if Edward hadn't interfered by suddenly appearing in front of you, blocking your figure from the crowd.
"I thought I taught you, that it's not nice to ears drop on conversations and especially ask somebody else to do it for you," Edward commented giving an all-knowing smile.
"I guess I am very persuasive," you bit back. ''And you are the one to talk... reading everyone's minds 24/7'' you pointed out.
Edward chuckled and signed simultaneously, the combination of emotion only he could do. "You always were.. sometimes it makes me wonder if venom would gift you the ability of compulsion because of it".
There was hardly anything ever left unsaid between Edward and I. Of course, it wasn't that we shared absolutely everything with each other or that we didn't avoid particular topics. No, it was that we said what we were truly thinking, fighting off the filters and the sugar coatings. That's why quite some time ago we made a pact, that as long as we stayed truthful to each other, he will try his best to pretend that my thoughts to him were just a white noise, though he wasn't particularly successful 100% of the time at it.
"Ahh, you need to get out of my head, Edward, you know I can feel you digging," you wrinkled your nose at the sensation.
"I apologize," he said seriously, for a moment glancing at the vampire clan across from him, "But what did I tell you about Denalis..."
"Which time?" he rolled his eyes at your comment. "Edward, what do you want me to do? You wanted me to be here, but you also seem to want me to magically combust too."
Edward shook his head looking down, "That's not-"
You ignored him continuing, "I get it, my presence is dangerous wherever I exist", his eyebrows narrowed disapprovingly at you as you emphasized the word 'exist'. You turned away from him to stare at Carlisle and Esme standing next to the "white palace" house not wanting to see his eyes cross glints of sadness.
That word 'exist' didn't bother me anymore. It described exactly how I lived my life these past years, I could almost feel that it probably summed up my whole existence on this earth. Luckily there were a little bit more than a few moments where I did feel alive, like I was truly living and not just surviving. So I didn't complain, no, I wouldn't dare, I treasured those memories and I kept pushing.
You tensed your jaw taking a deep breath, "But it never stood between us," you looked back at him meeting his attentive gaze, "It never stopped us from protecting this family," you gestured to the house as an example.
"But now", you noticed how his eyebrows once again narrowed at your words, "I get it, now with Bella in a picture, you have so much more to lose. So I will step away-"
"Stop," Edward cut you off, grabbing you by the shoulders. "Are you done?" he asked or more stated, his eyes filled with frustration. As you expected he did not wait for your answer before declaring, "You are not going anywhere..."
Edward closed his eyes like collecting his thoughts, and when he opened them again, his look was soft and with flickering glints of guilt, "I don't care about the danger that you bring," he shook his head, "No, that's not true, I do care, but that risk never stood between you and me. Between our family, because you are right we always fight for the people that we love," he clenched his fingers holding you tighter in a place like trying to indicate that if you didn't listen to his words before you should really listen to these ones. "You are part of this family, Y/n, it was never the same without you here. And for that-" He fossilized in the middle of his sentence, you only saw how his eyes suddenly filled with so much apology and sadness.
After a moment Edward came alive, narrowing his eyebrows, "For that I am sorry, Y/n," you looked at him confused. "You have been away from home for too long. I am sorry, I didn't find you earlier, as an older brother I should have, I should have gotten you back sooner. Forgive me-"
Before he could finish his sentence you cut him off by embracing him. You could tell Edward was shocked by your action, it was incredibly rare that the two of you showed any type of physical affection to each other. But he hugged you back just as tight.
"It is not your fault," you whispered to him and gave him a tight squeeze to affirm your words. "It is not, it never was," it was your time to place your hands against his shoulders making him meet your eyes, "Please, do not suffocate yourself with this guilt." he nodded giving you a small smile.
"Okay?" you asked not settling for his inaudible answer.
"Yes," Edward said, a little grin reappearing on his face.
"You know, officially, I am an older sibling'' you pointed out teasingly.
Edward laughed, it seemed to brighten the mood and bring the light of joy back to his eyes. "But only officially," he smiled, you just rolled your eyes chuckling.
"Now, could you please help me with something?" he asked.
"Of course, oh brother of mine" he chuckled shaking his head at your phrase. To this day I couldn't say if this comment annoyed him or not.
Wasting no time, Edward grabbed you by the forearm dragging you with him. Not leaving any chances for you to stare at the Denali coven's leader any more than you already did. Which, even if I would never admit it out loud, was probably for the better.
*later that evening*
It wasn't people that were filling the forest avenue after the ceremony anymore, it was the music. It slowly mixed in the air and with the help of the alcohol or just the buzzing emotion of joy, it started to loosen up the guests. That made the scene in front of you fill with more and more dancers with every passing song.
One of the rules, Alice's rules, was that every third or so song had to be slow and romantic or totally heart-wrenching, her words, not mine. I won't lie the creation of that soundtrack was so deeply engraved in my brain that I am afraid it will take more than a couple of months to erase it from the memory.
As you heard the trembling, loud and pumping song come to its climax, your eyes spotted no other but Tanya Denali, hidden from you by the crowd. She stood in the back of the dancefloor across from you with her sister Kate. As you believed, she was seemingly overlooking the stage and its dancing partners: Carmen and Eleazar, Alice and Jasper and so on, with the sign of longing and some light-hearted innocent envy desire.
You downed your drink in one gulp and stood up finally making up your mind, or maybe more courage. You took a step towards Denali's leader and your mind flooded with memory from last night's family 'meeting'.
*flashback*
"Okay, I let or more like made, Bella go home and get some sleep", Alice said entering the kitchen. "Y/n, are you done with the music?"
You sat in the chair next to the kitchen island, making the last changes in the playlist, "A second," you pressed the saved button twice just in case, "Yes, I am done," you said looking up at her. "Please, don't make me go over it again... I can barely remember what is like to listen to a song for pleasure."
She laughed at your wrinkled from displeasure nose, "I believe you."
In a matter of seconds, all the Cullens appeared in the kitchen, ready to listen to tomorrow's agenda, "So the guests should start to gather around five, " Alice informed.
"What about Denalis?" Carlisle asked.
"They will be here just before the first guests," she answered, 'human guests' you pointed out in your mind, which made Edward chuckle, you looked up at him narrowing your eyes and added, 'get out of my head, brother dearest', he lifted his hands in defence apologizing.
"So they wouldn't drag amm-" for a breath moment Alice stopped like she was thinking what kind of words to use. But you got a sense that she saw a vision because, from the corner of your eye, you noticed Edward's jaw tighten for a split second, but then like nothing happened Alice simply continued, "as much attention while entering".
Alice shooked her head smiling walking towards the window, "Now, let's move to the garden I wanna go over some parts of the ceremony," everyone except Carlisle, Esme and Jasper grunted while the three of them giggled at the other vampires' responses, but all of the Cullens followed the raven-haired woman outside.
You caught Edward by the arm before he could leave, "What was that?"
"What do you mean?" he asked with a completely clueless expression, you could tell he was faking it.
"Do not play dumb, what did Alice see?" you asked him narrowing your eyebrows.
Edward was quick to answer, too quick like he was revising it beforehand like he was expecting this whole conversation, "Nothing, just some last checkups on the weather tomorrow by the look of things it could be more sunshine than we expected".
You gave him an unimpressed look, "You serious right now?"
"What's? It's nothing to worry about, we are lucky that the ceremony will be held in the forest shade," you rolled your eyes at his nonsense. You had a feeling there was no way to get Edward talking today, ahh he could be soo stubborn sometimes, so you just let it go, for now.
*later that evening*
You collapsed onto the couch exhausted after listening to Alice's full briefing about tomorrow's wedding. There was some good news, you were given a green flag not to get involved in unwanted small talk topics in exchange for saying 'yes' to any Alice request that may or may not occur during the wedding. There was no way this won't come back biting me in the ass with something much worst, but I had a slight hope that Alice would just forget it or there wouldn't be any need for my possible talents.
Rosalie interrupted your train of thought as she settled next to you on the couch while Jasper took a spot on another couch to your right.
"Okay, I have a few suggestions", stated Edward standing in front of the TV so everybody could see him but he looked directly at you.
"So you have rules for only me," you re-phrased.
"It's suggestions," he corrected giving you a pointed look.
"Right..." you glanced at Rosalie mouthing 'rules' to her, making her chuckle, from the corner of your eye you even noticed Jasper's lips ghost a small smile.
You heard Edward sigh, "Please concentrate".
"I am listening brother, shoot it," you turned, giving him your full attention.
"First, it'd be better if you wear contact lenses," Edward suggested waiting for your reaction.
You sat silent for a moment, may or may not purposely making them wait, "It's for obvious reasons of course," Jasper added because even with the ability to sense emotions in a room, you got a feeling that he couldn't particularly decide if you were surprised, confused or absolutely unaffected by the suggestion.
Finally, you nodded your head simply saying, "I was going to either way, the less people notice, the better". Edward and Jasper nodded approvingly.
"Second, there are gonna be a lot of "eyes" during the wedding and some of them could possibly notice you. So it's best to avoid any type of suspicion," Edward continued his bullet point list, emphasising the word 'eyes'.
"You will be like fresh meat for them" you heard Emmett joke as he entered the room taking a seat on the armchair to your left.
"Thanks, dude, not creepy at all," you shook your head at his comment.
"No, Emmett has a point. Edward, do you really think it is wise for Y/n to keep away if we want to avoid intrigue about her?" Rosalie pointed out the obvious.
"People are gonna talk either way," Edward shook his head, "but humans will be too intimidated to approach her on their own when they find out she is a Cullen", Edward explained.
"Werewolves will stay in their own circle and only interfere if provoked or in danger," Jasper added in his observation.
"What about Vampires?" Emmett questioned, a silly smile settling on his lips.
"Excuse me, I am still here, you know..." you waved your hand trying to get their attention, "The one yall are talking about", four pairs of glowing gold eyes that belong anywhere but in this mundane world of ours, pierced at you.
You narrowed your eyebrows feeling like you have been treated like a total child since the beginning of this conversation, "All of you know it's not my first rodeo, right? It's literally my life. I know how curiosity for mystery works. I know how to handle it. How to handle myself". You didn't even need to look at each of their faces to know that as the last sentence left your lips, they shadowed worry of the past, what Carlisle liked to call, 'interference' flashbacks. "Look, I learnt how to break them off "
Everyone in unison leaned forward at this new information suddenly presented to them, but Rosalie was the first to talk, "It's an anchor, isn't it?" as she seemed to realize, on some level identifying your 'interferences' as vampire's thirst for blood.
You glanced at her giving her an approving smile, "Yes, it's a unique sensation. Could be a touch, a voice or a simple memory... It's a reminder of reality," You turned back to Edward who seemed to be deep in thought, "I know how to do it, you saw it yourself".
Edward shook his head. You could read from his face that he was doubting the efficiency of your method. You couldn't blame him, you didn't completely trust it too. "I believe you, it is not you that I do not trust, it's the others I worry about," he explained.
Emmett's little smirk didn't go unnoticed by you as Edward added, "And that brings us to the last point. Denalis"
You narrowed your eyebrows in confusion, Jasper definitely should have felt that surprise emotion blast from you, "Beware of the sisters" Jasper translated.
"Or beware them of you," Rosalie casually suggested the alternative, which may or may not was closer to Edward's thoughts but we will never know.
"So basically you already decided that they are going to draw my attention, but I can't theirs," you mumbled hardly believing the words of your technical and not siblings.
"Oh, they will capture your attention," Emmett seemed to particularly enjoy this rule of Edward's, possibly because he had a pretty good feeling you will be searching for a plothole for this one, looking back he was right, "And knowing you, Tanya would be drawing a lot more than just glances from you," Emmett teased.
You rolled your eyes, "I swear, if yall going to make a bet about this... I will remind to your vampire ass's what nausea feels like", Emmett lifted his hands in defence chuckling.
"Look, just stay safe," Edward said. "You better than anyone know that humans are humans, werewolves are werewolves and-".
"Vampires are vampires" you finished his sentence.
He nodded, "Desires, nature and especially curiosity win over logic and common sense too often".
One thing that really bothered me about Edward's words was his sudden awareness of Denali's coven. Even if I have never met them, to my knowledge, the Denali clan was the closest vampire coven to Cullens. Their family was the next thing Cullens trusted after their own and that was an incredibly huge deal. They had a history and a particularly strong bond. Both families shared too many similarities in how they saw the world and what role they wanted to play in it. That's why for Edward to refer to them so suspiciously was alarming. Something was happening in the bigger picture and I needed to find out what it was.
You were starting to get annoyed with only half the information presented to you. And Edward noticed that but to his relief, Alice suddenly burst into a room, "Hey, I need your help." Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper stood up clearly knowing it was them that overly-excited vampire referred to. "Y/n, you need to go get some rest, I need you bright and smiley tomorrow and Edward do not dare to peek outside."
"Yes, ma'am" Edward and you reported in unison.
*end of the flashback*
"Hello, ladies," you said approaching the two Denali sisters with a welcoming smile, but your eyes lingered on Tanya Denali just a little longer, unconsciously earning for her to stab her eyes at you.
The moment Tanya looked up settling her golden eyes upon you, you felt how the air was knocked out of your lungs. 'Whoah..' was all your mind could comprehend at that moment. She was even more stunning up close.
Tanya returned you a sweet smile that dulled your senses even more. Even for a vampire, she was breathtakingly beautiful and you couldn't help but wonder how magnificent she probably looked in the sun.
You were brought back to earth by Kate's comment, "Ahh, finally the mysterious, Y/n," she said excitedly. You could feel Kate's curiosity brewing by the seconds as her eyes ran between you and her sister analyzing this new and divine atmosphere between the two of you.
You just nodded your head approving that it was indeed you. You mentally scrunched your nose, there wasn't really anything mysterious about me, just unwanted secrecy.
As unnoticeably as possible you took a deep breath, powering up the courage that you had stocked up, hoping your voice wouldn't fail you, "Tanya Denali, would you dance with me?"
Your senses weren't as fast as vampire's, so you could never be 100% sure if the sudden cover-up question of hers was to hide the shock that ghosted Tanya's face because of your question or if it was just your imagination, but what you could state for a fact was that Kate was wearing the biggest grin on her face.
"Didn't Edward warn you for some bizarre reason not to interact with us?" you heard Tanya say. The melody of her voice mesmerized you and yet somehow it didn't feel like it was the first time you heard it, it felt so familiar, so comforting, so senses diminishing. You believed she could sweet-talk you into anything and everything. And those were not good news, not for a person like you, not with so much to hide.
You didn't realize you were holding your breath before the chuckle escaped your lips, Cullen's weren't exaggerating about how attentive Denalis or at least Denali's leader was. You smirked at her, "Well, he is no boss of mine, is he now?"
That made both of the sisters laugh, leaving Tanya's lips spread an enchanting smile that you just had to innocently add, "After all, it's just a dance, isn't it?"
"Tanya if you won't go dance with her, I will", Kate said jokingly, you could sense that she was already starting to like you.
You laughed at the comment, only for a split-second glancing at the vampire, not wanting to leave Tanya's eyes unattended. "So what would you say?" you lifted an eyebrow in question, stretching your hand towards her to take.
You would be lying if your heart was listening to your brain screaming at it to calm down, at that breath of the moment before Tanya's lips spread the most charming smile as she took your hand and said "Yes".
You led her a little bit further into the dancefloor. You could feel multiple pairs of golden eyes piercing every part of your body as shivers ran through your spine. But you didn't care about any of those looks, the only iris eyes you were curious about were the ones secured on your face so close to you.
"How are we-" before Tanya could finish her sentence the fast-pumping song came to an end and its place took a new track perfect for a slow dance.
She saw a satisfied smile appear on your lips at her surprised expression. "Just trust the process," you whispered, bringing your right hand to Tanya's back while her's settled on your shoulder and your other gently gripped her left hand bringing it into the air.
You danced like that for a moment, slowly swinging in the scene. Enjoying the sensation of electricity surrounding both of your bodies due to closeness and touch.
That enchanting smile engraved on Tanya's lips, which some part of you wished was only reserved for you, made you fall for it more and more with every passing second.
"So tell me about yourself?" you broke the comfortable settled in silence, minus the music, of course.
"What would you like to know?" Tanya asked so simply as if she would reveal anything you'd wish to know but only if you knew how to ask it.
"I want to hear everything you'd like to share... Your thoughts and your dreams. Your favourite era, art form, sex position, blood group-" you started naming.
"A what now?" she interrupted surprised but a little smile played at the corner of her lips.
"Yeah, you're right, I do not really care about your favourite blood type," you joked shaking your head slightly.
She laughed at your answer, making your heart swirl at the sound. You unnoticeably gulped at the feeling, Tanya was moving mountains in my heart quicker than I thought possible.
"You're so different," another enchanting smile crossed her lips as she stated.
"Ahh, am I doing a bad job at keeping a mystery of me," you teased trying to hide the fact that Tanya's smile kept dulling your senses.
She chuckled, "Can I be honest?".
"Always," you said more seriously, truly wishing to know what was happening in that mind of hers.
"There is such a thick fog around you, Y/n. Every time somebody looks your way you can feel Cullens hold their breath. And yet you are the one suffocating from that mist, from that, what seems, unwanted secrecy," Tanya stated. It took all of your strength not to tense your body at her words and betray that she was actually pretty accurate.
She continued, "You are so charming and sweet and I believe the list could go on and on, but?"
"But?" you asked your eyes narrowing at her sudden cut short sentence.
"But as far as I noticed tonight, people that you love are incredibly important to you," you nodded approving her words, but not completely understanding what she meant. "So that intrigue that is following you like a magnet everywhere you go is your biggest asset and yet your biggest downfall. That is my thoughts", she smiled genuinely technically answering your first question.
Tanya was starting to read me like a book with those attentive eyes and an incredible mind of hers. But I couldn't tell her that she was right and yet I didn't want to lie to her either. I couldn't tell her the truth and damn her for a lifetime of holding her breath because of who I was. So I played it off like I do, like I always do.
You looked at her absolutely amazed, "Hmm, so you think I am charming," you joked narrowing your eyes at her, only to be met with Tanya's chuckle.
"Well, you are incredibly spellbinding yourself," you said with a charming smile clearing the air, receiving an intriguing look from her that only could mean you were given a green flag to continue.
You tightened your hand around Tanya bringing her closer, just to start leaning her back, "And incredibly insightful and intelligent," you whispered with your lips nearly touching the smooth ice skin of her neck, making her eyes flutter shut for a moment from your hot breath.
As you slowly began to return both of you to the previous position, you continued "And yet I feel that behind that serious leader mask is a playful soul."
She lifted her eyebrow at you, "So you think I am spellbinding," she imitated your playful answer earlier.
You laughed and just let yourself get lost in her bright amber eyes, believing that you could admire Tanya for all eternity.
"What are you thinking about?" she suddenly asked making you come back to the planet Earth.
"Being honest?" you imitated her question
"Always," she said with your favourite enchanting smile.
"What colour your eyes were before your transformation," you said simply as if it was the most casual thing to wonder about. Tanya looked a little bit taken aback by the question. And with that a terrifying feeling washed over you, "I am sorry, I didn't mean to-".
"No," she cut you off. "It's alright, I- Just nobody ever wondered about it, ever," she explained looking away from you to the crowd of people.
Your heart melted and at the same time stung at her words. How could possibly nobody ever wonder that?
"I don't even know that I remember it myself," you saw her smile shyly still not meeting your eyes. All of a sudden you got a feeling that nothing really takes Tanya aback, that nothing really makes her shy. And you couldn't help but grin to yourself like a maniac for it.
You freed your left arm from Tanya's soft grip and gently lifted her chin with your fingers so the two of your eyes would meet again. "I imagine them as the deepest ocean. The watercolour blue," you said having her full attention back to you.
You wrapped your left arm around her fully trapping her in your lap, making Tanya melt against your warmth. "That freezes you to your bones when they are angry and surrounds you like the warmest embrace when they are in love," you spelt it firmly to make sure she knew that you meant every word. "They are the colour blue that makes you get lost in them and still makes you feel at home. And yet I think it is in general your eyes that make me feel this way. That is what I think''. The softest look flashed on Tanya's face as she brought her free hand to touch your cheek.
She suddenly gasped realizing that with her action she was starting to free half of your face and tried to remove her palm. But to her surprise, you quickly caught her hand bringing it back to your skin. The touch did chill your face muscles and made electricity settle in and yet you loved every part of it.
You could tell she enjoyed the warmth slowly spreading into her palm. "Who are you? Who are you to them? Where have you been hiding all this time?" Tanya whispered to you her eyes filling with adoration, relief and may or may not hope. The kind of hope that you buried deep inside yourself long ago.
You were about to say something, completely unaware of what was about to leave your lips when Alice appeared in your peripheral vision, "Sorry, to interrupt, but I need that favour, Y/n" You quietly signed frustrated by the interruption but a promise was a promise.
The two of you released one another from each other's grips and just before Tanya could move further from you to make some space, you caught her right hand in your own.
From the corner of your eye, you saw a slight surprise at first settle on Tanya's face as she looked down at your interlocked hands but then a bright smile spread her lips
"Yes, what will it be?" you asked Alice. You didn't really give much thought to your last action you just didn't want to let go of Tanya just yet but it seemed to stunt Alice for a moment, that's a first, shocking raven-haired vampire was incredibly hard. "Alice?" you re-asked.
She shook her head, "Ah, yes, I need you to sing this," she handed you the papers that you just now noticed she was caring.
You sighed worriedly looking down at the notes. "Wait, you can sing?" you heard Tanya's shocked voice.
You looked up at her but before you could answer, Alice beat you to it, "She does, Edward isn't the only one with a musical gift. Y/n has a really great voice."
"She is exaggerating," you protested giving Alice a pointed look.
"No, I am not," Alice said, brushing away your warning look.
Like sensing that you were about to protest again, you heard Tanya say, "I love to hear you sing," you turned to her as you felt her squeeze your hand in support.
You smiled at her softly, but teased, ''You should really reconsider".
Tanya chuckled, giving you that enchanting smile of hers, "Not a chance".
You laughed lightly but sighed too, "Alright, then," you turned to Alice reporting.
As Alice happily jogged away, you felt Tanya's intoxicating scent fill your lungs as she leaned closer to whisper "Find me afterwards".
You gulped turning to her, "With pleasure" you said feeling completely out of breath.
She smiled at your answer winking at you and turning to walk towards the crowd of people that was ready to settle to their tables again.

Tumblr media
Felix’s POV
I sat in my room, again, doing nothing in particular. Lately, nothing would excite or even interest me enough to occupy my mind for more than a few minutes. I didn’t know if I was going through a phase, or if that was my actual everyday life before the incident.
I didn’t think I could actually remember anything distinct before the incident as if crucial parts of my memory were wiped off. My life couldn’t be that boring, that meaningless. I hadn’t found a mate; I hadn’t changed a job for over 2000 years; I hadn’t done anything remotely fun. I wondered what my life came to, or how I even got here in the first place.
As much and as hard as I tried to remember, I couldn’t remember a single thing. For some unknown reason, I could only remember that Aro found me, brought me here, and turned me, just how he did with the Twins. Yet, I had a deep pain inside me that I couldn’t comprehend; it was like a pain caused by loss, a loss I had never experienced.
The only thing I could do was walk around the castle aimlessly, looking at the faces of the other vampires around that seemed to have successfully returned back to their usual routines, not having questioned anything for some time now. After Aro’s visit to the Egyptians, he laid the issue to rest, not looking for any answer afterward.
And so, our usual, boring life continued as such. Sometimes we would have to leave Volterra for our routine check-ups on other vampires and covens or to take care of some vampires’ disobedience and destruction tendencies. Other than that, there was nothing I was interested enough in.
The Twins and Dem would frequently occupy either the Common Room or the library. The Twins enjoyed challenging each other on chess, or they would call the other guards when they wanted to play other board games they had brought over from abroad, such as ‘Clue’, ‘Guess Who’, and ‘Monopoly’.
This particular day, just like every other day, I sat on a couch at the library, doing nothing in particular, as Demetri was looking through his history books a few meters away from me, and the Twins were arguing with each other at the other end of the room. I didn’t pay too much attention to them, but I, unintentionally, did catch a few words here and there.
They were talking about Freud’s “Death Drive” Theory, and how he theorized that people would tend to repeat traumatic events, even if they caused them distress. Unconsciously, that put me deep in thought for a few minutes, as I, myself, would put myself in a painful situation when I was trying to remember what happened to me, as a way to comfort myself that I really tried to find an answer to my questions.
Demetri was still too deep into his studies, so he didn’t pay attention to anyone and anything but his books. That left me alone, wandering around the library corridors, trying to find something that would interest me enough to pick up and read. I didn’t have a particular interest. Well, I did like anything related to fighting, so I supposed that wars and history could be the closest to my interests.
There were several books about wars and history that reached all the way up to the tallest shelf. The Kings - more like Aro and Caius - loved everything related to history, but most of all, anything related to wars. Though we were consuming human blood, there was nothing that pleased Aro and Caius more than seeing humans die, especially if it was by another human’s hand. They claimed that humans thought they could actually conquer the whole world, and, as long as they did, vampires would always manage to rise above them.
As I was browsing through the titles, my eye caught a deep purple book on the lowest shelf. I bent down to grab it, but I could almost swear that the book was pulled back - if I wasn’t alone here, I would think that it was Afton or someone else, but I couldn’t smell anyone. Once again, slowly and steadily, I went to grab it from its shelf; this time, the book did not move.
I started browsing through the pages, but the more I did, the less I understood. The book was written in a language I did not understand - was it French? German? No, there were no Latin characters indicating to any of these languages. I quickly ran to where Dem was, for he must know, having studied many languages throughout the years.
“Demetri? I need your help.” I tossed the book on the table, by Demetri’s readings.
“What?” Dem grumbled as I interrupted his study.
“I need your help with this book. I found it just a few minutes ago, but I cannot understand its content. It’s written in a language I cannot understand.”
This perked up Dem’s interest, who grabbed the book, scrolling through it, and smiling smugly. I knew he knew what it was about the moment he smiled.
“It’s Greek, but it’s not something I can actually comprehend. Must be one of the Kings’ books. They are the only ones who keep books in Greek anymore. Even I, myself, do not recall having any books in Greek left.” He tossed the book back at me, having quickly lost his interest, and returning back to his studies.
“You don’t see anything wrong with it?”
“What do you mean wrong, Felix? What could possibly go wrong with a book? Is it one of the “forbidden books” or something?” Dem mocked.
“No, but what if… What if it’s a magic book?”
“Fe, don’t be ridiculous. There’s no such thing as a “magic book”.”
“Why not, Dem? If we exist, why cannot magic and magic books exist?”
Demetri looked taken aback and had to think for a while. “Well, I suppose, if you put it that way, there could be magic. But, do not take my word for it. We don’t know what that book is about, whether it is magical or not. It’s not something you have to occupy your mind with, anyway. I know you’re bored and you have nothing better to do, but don’t stray too far from the others. We need you here. Present. If you think about imaginary things or things that didn’t happen, you will lose yourself in the process. So, please, don’t give in to such things. Stay focused here.”
Dem was right. I was trying too much, and so hard to hold onto little things - anything that would bring my memories back, that I started to lose track of what is real and what is not. I was the only one who was still so obsessed with finding answers where there were no questions left, that I lost the meaning behind everything. Instead of spending my time training the lower guards or interacting with Demetri or the Twins or Heidi or Santiago, I spent my time self-loathing about something that may not even exist.
And though the book had sparked my interest and curiosity about the possibility of a magical world existing, I still could not find a starting point to start my research from, so I just gave up eventually. It took me a few days, but I was finally able to fully recover from my previous state. I had so many human feelings that I almost forgot I wasn’t human.
I was a vampire, the Volturi executioner, and I should act more like that, instead of feeling. I wasn’t here to feel; I was here to follow orders, and tear others apart whenever I was asked to. From that moment, I had finally decided that I would turn my life around, and be myself again - the executioner that everyone feared.

(Y/N)’s POV
After New York, Louvel and I traveled to Toronto. Then, we had to pass through Canada, and, it was only when we reached Vancouver, that there was the issue of how we would travel up to Alaska. There was also the issue of me feeding without Louvel finding out about me.
I struggled to be as discreet as I could, hiding my eating habits, though I still ate small portions of human food. In the end, I was forced to reveal my true identity to him. I thought a lot about it, about the consequences and what that would mean for our friendship in the long run, but I decided that letting him know would be the right thing to do. Surprisingly, he was not as shocked by my revelation as I thought he would be.
For some inexplicable reason, it was the exact opposite. He seemed to accept it too quickly. He wasn’t shocked or skeptical; he didn’t need some time to think about everything; he accepted reality too easily. That put me in deep thought about whether I should trust him or not, and made me question what his true intentions were. I decided I would have to trust him for as long as I needed him; after all, even if I was pregnant, I could still get rid of him pretty quickly, and I would if he proved to be disloyal.
On a positive note, letting him know what I truly was helped me to finally not be so discreet about my need for blood. Louvel would even help me for as long as we were in Vancouver, bringing unsuspecting humans over for me to drink from. He had a sort of talent for manipulation, and they seemed to trust him quite easily and quickly, which was why they would follow him without asking questions.
He was rather attractive for a human, with his fluffy, but carefully styled hair, and his charming-looking eyes, which helped him a lot when he brought humans to me - among other things he did in his life. He was a natural charmer, and he would surely have me mesmerized if I wasn’t pregnant with the love of my life’s baby. Even Louvel’s charm could not take Felix’s thought away from me.
Speaking of my pregnancy, though I still had 3 or 4 months ahead of me before giving birth, I could feel the baby getting anxious, as, lately, it moved more than usual. It was as if it could sense that we were getting closer and closer to freedom, and it couldn’t wait. I personally couldn’t wait. All this time spent traveling had absolutely exhausted me, and I only wished to sit down and relax, so I just couldn’t wait for the moment I went to Denali.
There was only one issue left, which seemed to be the one that set us back a few days. We had to find a way to reach Alaska, without having to ask the Cullens for help. I wanted it to be sort of a surprise, but also I wanted them to slowly realize the reality of my pregnancy, without being forced to understand the process and nature behind it. I wanted everything to be absorbed by them slowly, without forcing them to understand anything they couldn’t. I would already owe them if they accepted me, so I didn’t want to force them to come down here and pick Louvel and me up.
We were making plans for a week straight, asking people around, and looking out for any information that could probably indicate a way for us to leave from Vancouver. It took us a week, but we finally managed to find a way, through the Alaska-Canada highway, which was actually built a little less than 20 years ago. The issue was that the highway started from Dawson Creek, which was over 1,200 kilometers away, and ended at Delta Junction, which meant we still had a long way to go between Vancouver and Denali.
The easiest part for me - which Louvel was and wasn’t opposed to, at the same time - was to steal a car for us to drive up to Alaska. Stealing was easy; the difficult part was to find a car that could stand the long way up to Alaska. I settled on a cute, black Volkswagen Beetle, which seemed pretty reliable for the time being.
We maxed up the tank and took a few bottles full of petrol with us, just in case we ran out and there was no petrol station around. I had filled up with blood the day before our departure, so, really early in the morning, we loaded the car and left.
I decided I would be the one to drive the majority of the way because I didn’t trust Louvel driving us up there - I may not have been so different from him, but I was still more capable as a pregnant tribrid than he was as a human. Louvel himself didn’t try to oppose me after I hissed at him out of instinct. The route was supposed to take as long as three days, but with my need to hunt and still sleep, it took us over a week.
Finally, after 4,000 kilometers of driving, we were close to the Denalis’ residence. It was a completely different scenery from what I had seen so far. Though it was around the middle of autumn, everything around was covered in thick layers of snow that gave out an eerie atmosphere. Yet, the air was crisp and clean, and I could finally breathe, letting go of all my anxiety. I felt that I could finally relax; that I was finally away and safe from Volturis' influence.
I felt excited at the prospect of a new chance in life; a life that was not associated with the Volturi; a life that had me leaving my human self behind. If everything went well and the Denalis agreed, I planned to stay with them permanently. The Cullens were only living there temporarily - I knew that because Carlisle himself never settled on one place for too long, so it was a matter of time until they left again.
But the Denalis were permanent residents of the area, so the probability of them leaving was none. I could easily come to terms with staying in that place forever. Besides, I had spent almost 3,000 years living in one place, so I didn’t think it would be impossible staying here for just as long, even more. The seclusion of this place meant that it wasn’t easy for others - humans or vampires - to notice or get close.
The Denalis’ house was deep between the snow-covered mountains, beyond the vast plains covered with trees. A lodge-like building that looked as warm as luxurious, its aesthetic matching perfectly with the surrounding environment. It was so different from what I imagined. I thought, like the Volturi, they would prefer a house made out of stone; a house that looked more like a cave. But the Denalis’ house was nowhere near that. The warm wood the house was made of, gave a sense of luxury, familiarity, and a welcoming feeling.
I saw the house from afar, but as we got closer and closer, I would drive more and more slowly, unsure of what they would think if they saw me all of a sudden. I, myself, was unsure and would have never imagined what they would feel like if they saw me. I continued driving slowly, as they finally noticed me and came out of the house. I stopped about 40 meters away, to give them space and distance between us.
First, it was Tanya and Kate who came out, followed by Irina, Eleazar, Carmen, Carlisle, and Edward. They looked shocked when they saw and realized who it was, but took a few steps forward, waiting for me to get out of the car.
“Is that them?” Louvel asked me from the passenger’s seat, without taking his eyes off of the vampires in front of us.
“Yeah, that’s them. Stay in the car, please.” I opened and shut the door quickly, walking towards the Denalis.
“(Y/N)?” Carmen and Eleazar were looking at me, shocked to see me in front of them, after all these years.
“(Y/N)? Is that you?” Carlisle looked just as shocked at me being there. His mind was mostly blank if I could ignore the many questions he had at that moment.
“Yeah, Carlisle. Hi.” I smiled at them. Though I had many powers - vampire and witch ones, I still felt powerless in front of everyone. I could not see what they would do or how they would react, as they seemed emotionless.
Suddenly, a petite girl came running out of the house. “Hi, (Y/N). I’m Alice. I was waiting for you. Is everything alright with..you know?” She looked at my belly once, and I could immediately tell she was the only one who knew without me having to tell anyone.
“Uhm, yeah, hi. I... I haven’t met you before, have I? Sorry if I had. My brain has been a bit fuzzy right now.”
“Oh, I totally get it. Come on in. Tell your friend to come, too.” Alice grabbed my hand and led me into the house, as I turned around and nodded at Louvel to follow us.
Alice brought me in, and I was right to think that the house was just as warm and welcoming as it seemed. It had huge windows, some of which started from the ground and went all the way up to the top. Other walls were completely covered with a mix of wood and stone. The lit fireplace was radiating its warmth through the house, and I felt my insides slowly adapt and absorb the warmth around me.
“What brings you here, (Y/N)? You are too far from home.” Tanya looked worried but also saddened. She didn’t seem to have anything against me per se, but she wouldn’t stop recalling the last time she saw me - the day the Volturi destroyed Sasha.
I decided to be open and honest to them from the beginning if I wanted them to accept me. “I decided to leave. I wanted to leave. It was for the best for both of us.” I placed my hand on my belly, rubbing it, to comfort both the baby and myself.
Tanya’s eyes popped wider. “So, it’s true. You are pregnant.” I now knew that Alice had informed everyone else about my situation.
“Yeah. And I had to get away to save the baby. And myself. I wouldn’t bear it if the baby had to go through what I went through with Aro. I couldn’t think of anyone else to go to than you, Carlisle. I am so sorry that I didn’t warn you beforehand.” I looked at the kind doctor with guilt.
“It’s okay, (Y/N), really, don’t worry about it.” He took a few steps towards me and kneeled in front of me. “Can I?” He moved his hand and stopped a few centimeters away from my belly. I nodded at him, and he put his hand on my belly, feeling the baby.
He stayed like that for a few minutes, trying to understand, possibly figure out my pregnancy with his own medical knowledge. Everyone was standing around us, looking at Carlisle’s hand and my belly, as if they were waiting on a verdict. Carlisle smiled and looked back at me, with his hand still on my belly.
“Can you feel the heartbeat?” He asked me quietly, to which I nodded. “It’s strong and rapid. I don’t want to come to rapid conclusions, but I don’t think it’s just one baby.”
I looked at him dumbfounded. “What do you mean it isn’t ‘just one baby’?”
“I think you’re having twins. Explains why your belly is that prominent, and why the heartbeat is so quick. I think there are two different babies inside of you.”
“How... How could I not feel them, then? You know, I should have known, I should have felt them. Shouldn’t I? How couldn’t I feel that there were two babies?” I was slowly panicking at my incompetence to realize there could have been two babies inside me instead of one.
“I don’t really know the answer to that, (Y/N). Maybe..maybe because they are part of you. Maybe because you were changing and getting more vulnerable by the pregnancy? How have you been feeling during the pregnancy?”
“Well, I was getting more and more tired by the day. I needed to sleep way more than I usually did. I craved blood way more than I usually did.”
Everyone gasped quietly, looking at the only human around, with shock, worried that I revealed our secret to him. However, Louvel, standing close to Carlisle, but not as close as the others, seemed unmoved by everything that was happening in front of him.
“It’s okay, Louvel knows everything. He was the one who helped me the last few weeks with my hunger and need for blood, actually.” I smiled awkwardly, as the others kept staring at him, still not trusting him.
“You know, your family doesn’t like it when humans know about us, so how are you going to explain it to them that you, yourself, let a human know?” Kate frowned her eyebrows, questioning my actions.
“I simply won’t tell them about any of that. Louvel is open to get changed anyway.” I pointed my hand at my friend. “Besides, my “family”, as you call them, won’t even remember me. I made sure of that.”
“What do you mean? What did you do, (Y/N)?”
“Relax, Tanya. I didn’t kill them, or anything, even if that’s what most of you would hope for. I just made them forget about me.”
“You can do that?” Kate’s eyes popped, and I was worried they’d fall odd of her.
“I’m still a witch, Kate, and I’ve been training hard, ever since I got to meet my parents. However, now, they don’t remember me, and neither do the Volturi. None of them knows I ever existed, and though I wasn’t totally happy with it, it was necessary for me to make them forget. I’ll move on with my life, and live with that from now on. I feel safe the farther away I am from Volterra, and the farther away I am from Aro and the others. I was just hoping I could stay here with you, away from everyone who may have ever known me. But that is only if you want me here, of course.”
“(Y/N), we may have had our differences with the Volturi, but that doesn’t mean we have anything against you per se. You were just a pawn, part of the coven. Of course you can stay here. But, we need to know about your current diet. We can see your red eyes, sweety.”
“I know, Tanya, and thank you for accepting me into your family and coven. I only need to feed with human blood for as long as I’m pregnant. That’s what my mom did she was pregnant with me, and that’s what Sulpicia did when she was pregnant with my mom. After I give birth, I will go back to animal blood.”
“So, such a pregnancy is not uncommon within your family?” Carlisle asked me.
“No, it’s not. Aro got Sulpicia pregnant while she was human, so my mom came out as half-human and half-vampire. When my mom got pregnant, she turned my father, so he could help and take care of her during her pregnancy. As long as someone is human - it doesn’t matter if they are partially or wholly, they can carry a vampire baby. Both Aro and my father eventually had to turn Sulpicia and my mother, because giving birth to vampire babies - even if they are half-vampire, or a quarter vampire, can actually kill someone. The babies are too strong for a human’s body to handle. That’s also part of the reason why I came here. Carlisle, when I finally give birth, I’ll need you to turn me, no matter what happens.”
“I will try, (Y/N), if that’s what it takes for you to stay alive.” He smiled sadly.
“Thank you.”
I could suddenly sense four more figures coming closer and closer to the house - two men and two women. I didn’t recognize their scents, but I could sense their connection to the vampires in front of me. Within a few seconds, two blondes and two brunettes entered the house. The blonde woman was gorgeous, and she was holding hands with the brunette man. I knew who they were, even though I never met them personally. Just like I knew Edward and Alice.
“Carlisle? Who’s this?” Rosalie asked, still clinging to Emmett’s side, unsure of what was going in front of her.
“That’s (Y/N). The one I told you about.” I was honored that Carlisle talked to his family about me.
“That’s (Y/N)?! What is she doing so far away?” Rosalie was a mix of worried and angry, but I couldn’t distinguish one over the other.
“(Y/N) will be staying with us from now on. (Y/N), we’ll take care of you and your babies, don’t worry about it.” Tanya smiled and caressed my cheek.
“So, you are pregnant?” Rosalie smiled, letting go of Emmett’s arm, and walking to sit by my side.
“Yeah. I’m surprised you all somehow know, but I’m guessing Alice told you?” I smirked playfully at the small brunette girl, who smiled back widely.
“She told us you were pregnant, and that we should expect you, but she didn’t know when exactly. Her visions kept changing.” Esme replied from Carlisle’s side, as they wrapped their arms around each other.
“She didn’t tell us you were bringing a human, though.” Jasper looked like he was constipated, but he was actually trying to restrict himself from attacking Louvel. He’s been a vegetarian for just a few years, so having humans around was extremely difficult for him.
“Don’t worry, man. I don’t plan to stay human for too long. I’ve talked with (Y/N), and I plan to get changed.” Louvel answered back, as Jasper kept staring at him.
“Are you sure you want that life for yourself? As much as I thank Carlisle for saving me, I wouldn’t want that life. Damned for all eternity.” Edward was brooding again, looking sad and regretful.
“I know I want this. Why wouldn’t you? It’s the start of a new life, full of so many possibilities. I think it’s a chance to become a better version of myself and try to evolve.”
“Whatever you say, dude.” Emmett patted Louvel on the back and almost knocked him off, making me laugh.
After the initial conversation, it was a matter of where I would stay, where Louvel would stay, and what we would eat. Irina and Kate were willing to run to the Anchorage, which was a couple of hundred kilometers away, to make sure Louvel - but mostly me - had enough food to last us for a couple of weeks, until the next time they’d have to go.
Rosalie was set to take care of me during my pregnancy; she always wanted to have children of her own, and she saw a great opportunity in, at least, helping me with my own. I could tell she would have been a great mother; her movements and touch were so delicate, trying to make sure I was fed, I slept at least 10 hours a day, and I was taken proper care of.
In the meantime, Louvel was slowly adjusting to living around vampires, some of which would try their best to not attack him. He was careful with his existing and moving around the house, trying to avoid most of them. As he was the only one - apart from me - to not handle the cold weather well, he would spend most of his time inside the house, trying to be as much of a help as he could.
As for me and my pregnancy, everything was going quite smoothly. Apart from the constant blood cravings and the endless sleep hours, I got enough free time to practice my magic. Some days, energy would pump my whole body and I felt like I could move mountains; other days, I would feel so drained of life that all I wanted to do was lay down, close my eyes, and wait for the time to just pass.
But I would still derive energy from the ones I loved the most - my babies and the thought of Felix. Thanks to both the Denalis and the Cullens keeping me safe and calm, I managed to improve my magic to the point where I could easily travel through space, even with the babies in my belly. And though I had a curiosity to test my ability to travel through space, I wouldn’t take that risk as long as I was pregnant, but I would definitely want to test the waters after I gave birth.
It had been about two months now since the day I arrived at Denali, and all I could think about was the fact that my supposed due date was coming closer and closer, but I still couldn’t tell exactly when. My belly grew absurdly fast within a month and a half, almost two or three times the size it was when I came to Alaska, and I couldn’t explain why. Carlisle was even more clueless than I was on the matter, but he reassured me that, as long as the babies seemed to grow normally and sound healthy, everything would be okay, so I took his word for it.
It was just another day, walking around the Denali territory, being too bored to stay in the house, and feeling too much energy pumping through me to just walk around the house. I’d rather run a bit through the mountains, enjoying the crisp air, and the vastness of the snow-covered trees down at the plains, as the winter was slowly coming to an end, but not in Alaska. Here, it was still snowing pretty heavily, and though I could feel the cold in my bones, it also managed to comfort me, reminding me of Felix’s cold touch that somehow was filling my existence with warmth and endless love for him.
Everything happened too fast for me to realize what was actually going on. One moment I would be standing on a small snowy hill, looking over the cold nature around me, and the next I would be in complete pain, feeling every part inside me numb as the pain was concentrating on my abdomen and back. I could only feel my body fall, and I remembered looking towards the sky as I fell. I let out a scream of pain, trying to catch my breath and realize what was going on.
That was until I felt the wetness coming out of me, and I could smell the blood in the air. That was when I finally realized that I was going into labor. I was about to give birth, and I was up here, all alone, writhing in pain, and full of hopelessness. I didn’t know that this was how I would give birth; I didn’t know this would be how I would probably die.
In-between my screams and the streams of tears that stained both my face and the snow around me, my only wish was that I would be able to see Felix once again; that I could fall into his arms and never let go. And as my vision narrowed around me and I started seeing black, I could only hope that my babies knew how much I loved them, and how much I would fight for them if I made it out of here alive.
