The Life of Julie Swan Book III

Chapter Eight

I had decided to ride with Bella and Edward to the clearing since Jasper and Creed where the ones teaching the others. We come to a halt and I smile seeing Emmett being flung across the air flailing as he lands hard on his back. He immediately sprung up to face Jasper who threw him. 

I giggle climbing out of the Volvo walking over to Rose who pulled me close to her side as we watched our mates spar. 

"Again." Emmett says.

"They're here." Edward says from about two feet behind us. 

I look into the tree line and see eight giant wolves walking out wary and on edge. I noticed Emmett and Paul's eyes meet and they both have determination in their eyes. 

"What's with Paul and Em?" I whispered to Rose.

"When you, Bella and Edward where in Florida we were hunting Victoria and they both got into a fight because Emmett jumped the treaty." She replied.

I nodded while playfully rolling my eyes.

"Two more have joined the pack." I heard Bella whisper to Edward.

I turn to her. "They're my god sister and brother." 

"A girl?" She asked shocked. 

"It came a surprise to us all." I chuckled. 

Carlisle walked over to Edward.

"They don't trust us enough to be in human form." Edward says reading the wolves minds. 

"They're here." Carlisle says kindly. "That's what matters." 

I smiled at Paul who stood beside Jake they both gave Bella and I wolfy smile with their tongues lolling out the side. I let out a giggle as Sam gave them a sharp look making them focus. 

"Will you translate?" Carlisle asked Edward.

I watched as Carlisle moved slowly towards the pack. Sam stepped forward. 

"Welcome." Carlisle smiled kindly. 

"He says, they'll watch and listen, but that's the most we can ask of their self-control." Edward translates.

"That will be fine." Carlisle says. "Jasper has experience with newborns. He'll teach us how to defeat them." 

"They want to know how these newborns differ from us." Edward translated. 

"They're a great deal stronger than us, because their own human blood lingers in their tissues." Carlisle explained. "Our kind is never more physically powerful than in our first several months of this life." 

Carlisle nods to me? I turn my head and jump seeing Jasper smirking while standing beside me. I slapped his arm before he stepped forward. 

"Carlisle's right." Jasper says. "That's why newborns are created for armies." 

"One of them, Quil." Edward says. "Wants to know how many vampires constitute an army. He seems to be made nervous by the term." 

I let out a giggle along with Jasper as Quil's wolf looks embarrassed. 

"Army is an expression for a large number of newborns." Jasper explained. "The good news is, they are not in the thousands, like a human army. The bad news is, no human army could stand against them. But they're untrained, and their thirst will make them wild. Volatile. That can work in our favor." 

I watched as Jasper walked to the center of the field going rigid, commanding. 

"The Major's coming out to play." I smirked.
