Verena [Paul Lahote]

0.4

Third POV

Verena thought about what Rosalie said to her yesterday.

Flashback

"Verena, that's great!"

"No, it's not Rose."

Her facial expression dropped. Why wouldn't her sister be happy that she had found her mate?

"Why not?"

"Because, Rose, my whole life, all I did was make enemies wherever I went."

Rosalie doesn't know what to say. She just stared at her sister. All the time they were together, there were times when Verena would go missing for weeks before coming back to them. They never knew what she did or where she went; no one dared ask her, not even Carlisle, who knows better than to get into her business.

"The whole time I was missing, I did something bad. I lose control. I became reckless, killing anything that pissed me off. I couldn't do that when I was with you guys.

"No matter how hard I tried to keep my dark side hidden, it would eventually come out, and I made sure none of you were there to witness it."

Verena couldn't even look at Rosalie. She felt like she was going to be judged.

"Verena, look at me."

"I tried Rose." "I tried every time, but it never lasted."

Rosalie put her hands on each of Verena's face, forcing her to look at Rosalie.

"You've tried. I understand. You did your best. I will always be there to help you be better. We always do."

Verena could feel her eyes tearing up. If Rosalie could cry, she would've been crying by now. Verena held her hand tightly.

"There's something you should know." Said Verena.

"What?"

"Remember when I said there was nothing that could kill me?"

Rose nodded. Everyone knows that.

"I lied. When my mother created me, she bound me to this spell. She knew that nothing on earth could kill me, so she did something to make sure I eventually died.

"She cast a spell that only my mate can kill me. Rose, Paul will be my downfall. If my enemies know about Paul, they will come for him. He's my weakness, Rose."

Rosalie became speechless. She doesn't know what to say. What was she supposed to say?

"Rose, say something." Verena pleaded with teary eyes.

"Do they know? The enemies?"

Verena shrugged. "I don't know; some knew, but I compelled them to forget about it."

"Then we'll keep it that way. We will protect you as you protect us. We are family."

They put their foreheads on each other. Verena was there to hear Rosalie's past, and now she returned her favour by sticking by her side. Verena will always be Rosalie's sister.

End Flashback

"Don't think about it, we love you." Emmett put his hand on her shoulder, reassuring her that everything was fine.

The family knew everything by now except about her mate, and they all accepted her.

She smiled at him, she looked at others, and they all gave her a kind smile.
