Expect The Unexpected

Chapter 16

PRESENT TIME FORKS, WASHINGTON

"I missed you so much."Tanya told Isabella once she pulled back from their kiss. The kings and most of their allies in the guard were dead. It had taken centuries to get to this moment and now that it was here Tanya felt the urge to cry in relief. She was not only being reunited with her love but she could finally tell her family about Isabella. She wouldn't have lie to and manipulate her family to get them to do what needed to be done anymore. Tanya could finally live openly with both her mates. They wouldn't have to be apart ever again. Reaching her hand out for Rosalie Tanya pulled her into a three person hug with Isabella. Breathing in both their scents Tanya felt her body relax for the first time since Isabella had sought her out in that tavern in the 14th century.

"I missed you both."Isabella replied. Before she could say anymore she heard a familiar voice.

"Isabella!!"Colette called out rushing to her daughter.

"Mother."Isabella happily let herself be pulled out of the hug with her mates and into her mother's arms.

"My darling girl you did."Colette couldn't have been more proud than she was seeing everything Isabella had planned come to fruition.

"We all did it."Isabella wasn't going to take all the credit. It had been a group effort."Have you found Athenodora yet?"

"No I wanted to see you first and make sure you were alright."Colette had been living for centuries in a state of anxiety not knowing if Isabella was safe. She needed to see with her own eyes that her daughter was fine before she sought out her mate.

"I'm perfectly fine and I got to kill Caius."Isabella was very happy that she was the one who killed the horrible man. It would have been better for Athenodora to be the one to do it but she was needed to help the other queens.

"You and Tanya did a magnificent job."Collette had watched the whole thing and was beyond pleased with the way the pair made Caius suffer before killing him.

"Mother let me introduce you to Rosalie."Isabella reached behind her and once she felt a hand in her own pulled Rosalie next to her.

"It's nice to finally meet you Colette."Rosalie was nervous about meeting both of Bella's mothers and wished she could have met them at the same time. It would have been nice to get it over with quickly.

"It's nice to you meet you as well Rosalie."Colette looked the girl over and was impressed with the way Rosalie held her gaze. She could tell Rosalie was nervous but was putting on a strong face.

"It's good to see you again Colette."Tanya said.

"I have heard of your many exploits and I have to say that you have certainly made me proud to have you as a daughter in law."Colette had been keep up to date with all of Tanya's work throughout the years and was happy that the coven leader proved to be such an honorable vampire. Tanya had gained Colette's approval quickly.

Tanya stood up a little taller at the praise. She had always hoped to gain Colette's approval and now that she had she was very proud of herself."That's kind of you to say."

"Now then I know you three have a lot of explaining to do so I will take this chance to seek out my mate."Colette didn't want to be involved with the politics to come. Plus she wanted to finally meet Athenodora in person. The pair exchanged letters but that wasn't the same as meeting in person.

"I guess we do."Rosalie wished they could just ignore the group but knew it was up to her and her mates to explain what was going on.

"We need to take care of the Romanians as well."Isabella reminded them.
