*3rd Person POV*

Growls echoed from each member of the Olympic Coven once they registered the king's words, but no growls were louder than those that came from Bree and Alice Cullen.

"Don't you dare talk about my sister like that!" Alice snapped at the king.

Her immediate defence caught Pearl by surprise. As she too had once said something similar about the hybrid. Even though the pixie had previously apologised for her words, the jab still occasionally took refuge at the back of Pearl's mind.

"Learn some respect!" Cauis admonished the pixie.

Bree glared at the blonde king with fury in her gaze, and using her gift, she forced the guards away from Jasper and Alice and levitated her siblings, bringing them over to the Cullen's side. Now fully separating the Volturi from the Olympic Coven. Her interference startled both Alice and Jasper, as well as the Volturi members.

Aro then turned his attention to the small teenager that stood by Pearl. "Who are you?" He asked in a venomous tone.

Usually, Bree would shy away from such hostility, but feeling protective of her mate and family, she replied with confidence. "I'm Bree Cullen. And the fact you just insulted my MATE, pisses me the fuck off!" She snapped.

Pearl turned her head to admire her imprint as she stood up for her. The confidence Bree was radiating reminded Pearl of herself when she gets angry and protective over those she cares about.

Aro's eyes widened at her words, and he clenched his fists at his side. In a quiet voice, Marcus spoke up to ask, "Brother, what did you learn?" As Aro still hadn't divulged to his followers what Pearl was, the rest of the Volturi were left in the dark about why he was suddenly being so aggressive towards the female vampire.

"She's a hybrid." He bluntly answered his brother.

"Like the child?!" Cauis questioned in surprise and growing rage.

"No." Aro corrected him calmly. "This creature, is both a vampire, and a shifter." He announced in a disgusted tone.

Cauis snapped his head towards where Pearl stood and snarled dangerously at her. Pearl stepped forwards and growled back, intending to meet his challenge.

Carlisle spoke up to try and calm everyone down to avoid a fight, but his voice went completely unheard.

"This being, must be disposed of." Aro uttered quietly to the witch twins and his brothers.

Marcus looked to Aro is disbelief but didn't say anything against him, while Cauis and the twins nodded in agreement. Without warning, Cauis charged towards Pearl with the twins flanking him. The blonde king's sudden advance caught the rest of the Volturi by surprise.

Pearl growled deeply and ran forwards to meet them and engage in combat. At her movements, Emmet, Leah and Seth leapt forwards to join her side.

The hybrid struck Cauis in the face and forced him backwards, while Emmet and Seth both charged at Jane consecutively. Alec's fog emerged from his hands towards Leah, so Pearl turned on her heels and bashed the male witch twin in the head. Beheading him in one blow, before his gift could reach Leah's wolf. Leah advanced and finished Alec's body off, whilst Pearl refocused on the blonde king, who was returning for more.

Jane used her ability to inflict great pain onto the youngest Clearwater, so Emmet tried to grab her while her gift was already occupied. Much to his surprise and horror, with her gift still active on Seth, Jane turned it to attack Emmet as well. Collapsing to the ground, Jane managed to render both Seth and Emmet incapacitated at the same time.
