Judging by the look that was on Peter's face, this wasn't something he had foreseen. Apparently this was something from a worst case scenario book. Both Peter and I were full of steam, carrying Robyn deep into the forest for us both to calm down. Once Robyn was safely away from the current threat, the Major gave me back the reins which was odd. The anger that forced him still fueled me. I could barely see past the red haze that governed my thoughts. Despite the Major pacing the back of my mind, his anger hadn't cooled.

Even Peter was pacing the ground in front of us. His emotions were filtering too quickly for me to a get firm hold on them. Robyn carefully stepped closer to me, resting her hand on my shoulder. It was enough to glimpse past the red haze of anger. She looked at me in concern, her now golden eyes showing signs of sadness. Immediately I pulled her into my arms. She never should feel sadness with us around. It was our job to keep her happy, to make sure that she received nothing but happiness forever.

As she buried her face into my chest, breathing me in, I did the same with her. Peter's scent was fused to every piece of her. I couldn't smell where she began and he ended. Suddenly Peter was behind her, his arms slithering around her waist to hug her from behind. Maybe I had unknowingly been projecting. As he rested his head on her shoulder, I suddenly smell her scent glued to him. The lust that surrounded me projected into my mates became overwhelming. This time it wasn't fueled by Robyn's gift at all, that much I could tell.

This want was fueled by over-protectiveness to make sure both of my mates were safe in my arms. Robyn was the first to react, reaching up and slamming our lips together. I could feel Peter peppering kisses along Robyn's neck.

The rest of the forest filled with our cries of passion for the night.

When we finally came out of the lust, I knew we needed to head back to the house. Peter had taken Robyn hunting again while I hunted separately. It wasn't that I wanted distance from my mates, but it was more of trying to wrap my head around our current complication. It was obvious by Peter's omission that we still needed the Denali's. Maybe Triad's were known for other things than just power, instead bringing complications to everything.

I only hoped with our display in front the Alaskan coven, they wouldn't doubt our love for each other. That was one of Eleazar's stipulations even if he didn't voice it. Being part of the Volturi, he understood more about Triad's than anyone besides the kings. He doubted, deep in his gut, that what I had found was truly a triad. If we managed to convince anyone hopefully it was Eleazar and Kate. We needed them on our side not only against the Volturi, but to help Robyn control her power.

If she could only use that power in a significant way, we'd turn the tides against the Volturi. There was no way in hell Peter or I wanted to rule the vampire world, but if the Volturi gave us no other option, I didn't see a good outcome. We couldn't exactly put the Romanian's back in charge because according to some old vampires Carlisle knew, they were sometimes worse than the Volturi themselves.

"Could you please thinking out loud?" Peter's voice cut through the eerie silence of the forest. "You're almost giving me a headache."

When I turned to look at him, I realize I had been pacing the ground. There was a thick line in the forest floor from my in depth inner monologue.

"I'm sorry." My voice is a whisper as I hang my head. "That didn't go according to plan."

I hear Peter shrug before he's at my side. "I didn't know it would to that extent, but something was going to happen. My feelings were no help, I guess because I was involved more thoroughly than I should. I thought it would have been Eleazar that was the problem, by not accepting our Triad. Considering that I didn't see Irina as a threat until that moment, I guess you know that I don't see her as she sees me."
