Expect The Unexpected

Chapter 18

"The Cullen children looked pretty dejected when we left. What did you say to them?"Kate asked Tanya. The pair along with the rest of the Denali Coven, Isabella, her mothers, the former queens and many prominent members of the royal guard including Jane and her brother Alec were all traveling to Italy on the former kings' private jet. Kate had enjoyed the treatment her coven got as soon as they left the Cullen's house. Guards immediately surrounded them and didn't let anyone approach them. The mostly deferred to Isabella but Kate had noticed it was Tanya who acted as the mouth piece of the mated trio. The coven leader was the one who addressed the allies Carlisle had gathered to help and took care of the Cullen children. Seeing the way the four vampires looked like someone killed their new puppy in front of them Kate didn't think that they took the rejection well.

"I simply explained to them that we had no interest in accepting them into our coven. Emmett inquired about being a guard member but I politely informed him he wasn't someone we would be willing to recruit. Alice tried to use her gift as a bargaining chip to get a place in the castle. I then reminded her of Isabella's own gift and its superiority to hers. She tried to argue with me about its usefulness but I shut that down. Harriet tried to play on my sympathies and claimed they had no other place to go. I of course was unmoved. It was at that point the Irish coven offered to mentor them. They accepted even though it was obvious they would prefer joining us."Tanya told her.

"Emmett wanted to be in the guard?"Jane laughed at the very idea.

"Emmett has it in his head that he is the strongest vampire that ever existed. He constantly brags about his strength and fighting ability."Victoria wasn't completely comfortable being so close to all the guard members but her gift was telling her they were safe so she tried to push down her nervousness. She figured it would take a little while to get into the mindset that they were there to protect them not capture them.

Felix flexed his muscle."He thinks he is stronger than me?"

"Emmett is convinced that his strength is superior to not only vampires but all other supernaturals as well. That strength also giving his an advantage during fights."Carmen said.

"I should have challenged him to a fight."Felix hoped that he got a chance in the future to show a Cullen how weak they really were. He along with all of Isabella's other allies hated the coven. Carlisle was a fool who thought he was better than everyone else and took every opportunity he had to lord the fact he never killed a human over all of them. It was only because he was needed to overthrow the kings that he hadn't been killed centuries before.

"I would have liked to see that."Kate would love to see Emmett put in his place. Having the guard at her beck and call being another thing she wished she rubbed in the Cullen's faces before she left.

"I have a feeling you will get a chance at him sooner than later."Irina didn't think the Cullens would last long with the Irish coven. They would probably irritate them after a few weeks and get kicked out of their territory .

"Have you seen anything Isabella?"Alec asked.

"I haven't cared to look. Is that something you all are interested in?"Isabella hadn't even thought about looking into the Cullen's future.

"How does your gift work? Do you just pick whose future you want to see and then you get a vision?"Eleazar was very interested in how Isabella's gift worked. He had only been around Alice and it was beyond obvious that Isabella's gift was a lot more powerful than the small black haired vampire's.

"It's little more intricate than that but that's basically how it works."Isabella told him.

"So you can just decide whose future you want to know about at anytime and your gift will tell you?"Anne had never thought that Tanya's contact had such control over how the future would turn out. It was humbling to know that Isabella had been watching out for them all these centuries and they didn't even know.
