It's already February, the day Jasper returns with the coven from Denali. Garrett has been hiding a snicker and a smirk since we came back in the dead of night from a hunting trip that nearly took the entire two days Jasper was gone. We chose to ignore it, showering together and joining Garrett in the sitting room. I try to ask a few things about the Denali coven, but Peter has been tight lipped. Garrett, however, goes full blown into his description.

Apparently the coven was originally just three vampires sisters. They became sisters after a female vampire turned them. They've been sisters ever since. Tanya is traded back and forth the role of leader with Eleazar, but she and her sisters, Kate, and Irina are tight and close. That's when Garrett's story about the sisters takes a turn I didn't expect. According to Garrett, they are known as succubus, having sexual encounters with not only vampire men, but a few humans as well. They haven't been turned down often and when it happens, it's a big deal for the sisters. All blonde and statues, I start to worry that we sent Jasper into the lion's den. Though I know he already knew about this having met them with the Cullens.

Then Garrett mentions Peter's interactions with the sisters. The smirk on his lips is pointed at Peter who avoids both our gazes. I reach over taking his hand in mine. "They aren't gonna be a problem, right?"

Garrett immediately snickers. "Only their pride. You gotta remember, sweet pea," Garrett says pulling my attention back. "Peter went through centuries thinkin' Jas was dead and that he would never have another chance at love. That also meant anything sexual. The sisters were only intrigued more by him when he refused them. After their first meeting, I think Peter went out of his way to avoid them. Probably the reason he would call out of the blue asking me if I'd seen those sisters. Always made me laugh because it was like he knew when I'd seen them last. His calls came within a week of seeing them."

I look over at Peter who hesitantly meets my gaze. "Guess I got one thing to look forward to." Instead of asking, Peter gives me a questioning gaze, one eyebrow lifting. I giggle reaching over and kissing the tip of his nose. "I get to show off. Show them what they missed out on."

Peter laughs along with Garrett as he pulls me into his arms.

A day later, I'm sitting in the corner of the couch carefully reading from a book Peter had stashed away for me. Garrett has somehow gotten suckered into playing a video game with Peter. I probably should have questioned that considering this is the fourth time, in a row, that Peter has beaten Garrett in their match. It's a miracle as I read and listen to their bickering how they can keep their cool without destroying the game system.

Just as I turn another page, Peter's phone vibrates from his pocket. He doesn't need a ringer considering we could all hear it when it shakes in his pocket. Immediately answering, he jabs at the pause button, pushing to his feet.

"Jas? Where are you?" Peter's voice sounds a bit relieved. Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett didn't run into any trouble on the way to Alaska. We saw it as a good sign that we managed to either get rid of Maria's scouts completely or at least took them all by surprise with their departure. I'm almost certain Victor had been honest about the scouts he told us about. If any other scouts show their faces, I have to guess that it would be the Volturi coming out of hiding.

Peter is quiet as Jasper talks quickly. I don't listen too intently, but I do notice that Jasper must be running as the wind is loud in the receiver. They are on the phone for a couple of minutes before Peter ends the call shoving the phone into his phone.
