Rosalie *SLOW UPDATES*

Chapter 27

After hearing the talk of Klaus and Elijah go against Finn and the others, I went back to the bayou to see Jackson.

"I agreed to marrying you so our people can be free. When is it happening?" I said,

"It can't just be an agreement, Skylar. You have to be devoted, no secrets, not anything that is worth hiding. Which means every deep thing has to be shared." That made my heart skip.

I couldn't let him know that I was in love with Kol, but mostly. . . I wouldn't and I couldn't tell him about Rosalie.

"It has to be a real marriage." I started fumbling with my hands, thinking about the consequences of what would happen.

Aiden shown up a few hours later with intel on the wolves and the news about the witches.

"The wolves are freaking out, they know it must be an insider who took down Vincent seeing as no one could have been anywhere near him." He said, panic in his voice.

"Anybody suspect it was you?" Jackson asked,

"No. Not yet unless they figure it out, which means I'm screwed unless we come up with a plan."

I was annoyed by this time. I hadn't seen my daughter in months, I am in love with a man that I can't be with, and on top of that, my pack is being led by the people that cared for me.

"Okay, fuck a plan. Call the whole pack, a meeting tonight. If they're being bitches about ditching Esther, maybe we can talk some sense into their brains." I covered my mouth with my hand, thinking about what would happen.

"She gave them moonlight rings." He said, showing the ring on his hand.

"Those rings make you slaves."

"No, they allow us to be better, stronger, faster, and bigger than the vampires. She's given us a gift."

"No, she's turned you into her bitches. I didn't think you would ever be someone's bitch, Aiden. It looks like people do change." My fists balled, showing the hidden anger.

"They make us powerful! The vampires are scared of us. No one, including me, is going to walked away from that just because — " Jackson cut him off,

"Set the damn meeting." He grabbed his beer and stared Aiden in the eyes, almost stone cold.

Jackson walked to the dock, opening another beer and looking out into the bayou. We were waisting time, we needed to prepare for the assembly.

"So, are you going to work on a rousing speech or just get day drunk?" I asked, clearly agitated.

"Little bit of both."

"Jack, get off your ass. It's 10 a.m."

"You know," he said, walking over to the book Ansel gave him before Klaus killed him, "I wrote down every word Ansel said. The whole history of our people. If only I knew he was Klaus's father, I would've asked him a hell of a lot more."

I stayed quiet, listening to what he was saying, so he didn't grab another beer and rant.

"I was up all night, looking for something to help our people."
