"I know you will see her knowledge in my thoughts in the near future, if at least to save myself, I thought I would go ahead and confess their sins."
"Please tell us more."
I sighed before continuing, "She was a simple new student at their high school, but Edward soon became aware that she was both his mate and his singer. After some time around shapeshifters, Isabella Swan discovered that the Cullens were in fact vampires. Even when confronted, Edward did not deny the accusation and allowed her to know the secret. I must say, the Cullens did not agree on this exchange. Many of them hated her knowledge."
"And why did you not stop this?"
"I truly tried my lords, I almost put Edward Cullen through a wall in the midst of the whole situation. For I knew, her knowledge would be the death of us all."
For a moment the thrown room sat silent, none of us moving or looking at each other.
"Now we ask," Marcus cut through the silence, "What shall we do?"
"Perhaps wait a bit longer before you make rash decisions," I said uncertainly, "Though it may sound unreasonable, why do we not allow this to be a test for the Cullens? See if they make the correct decision to handle the situation?"
"We all know I love a good test. Let's allow it," Aro spoke quickly.
By the heavens, let the Cullens make the correct choice.

Hello,
I assume that's how I am supposed to start these letters now. I do not exactly know what to say. Perhaps I should say everything I wish I could say. I love you darlin'. I made a mistake, a major mistake that I am now living. You're gone and now I am stuck living a lie with Alice. I know I could never truly love her, not in the way I would need to be for this "relationship" to work. I have always only belonged to you. How do I fix this Adeline? How do I even attempt to fix the hearts that I have destroyed? You are all the way in Italy, living a life you have only had nightmares and dreams about. How do I compare to that?
I worry that no one will ever forgive me. Rose always has pure hatred coming off of her in waves when I enter a room. I know you discourage her feelings, it is simply who you are as a person. Though we both know she never listens to anything anyone says. Esme is trying to pretend that she is not disappointed and disgusted with Alice and I. Though, even if her feelings were not clear to me, I can see it within her eyes every time she sees the two of us together. I've tried to talk to the boys, but they are your boys. Edward and Emmett will always be my brothers, but they are your boys. Their hearts belong to you. You are the little sister they were constantly waiting on. The missing piece to the puzzle. You are everyone's missing puzzle piece. I'm crumbling without you.
I love you darlin'.
I'm sorry you will never read these words,
Major Jasper Whitlock-Hale.

"Hello."
"I hate her, Adeline. I hate her so much," Rose groaned through the phone call.
"What did the human do now? Did something happen at her birthday?" I placed down my pen, moving from my desk to sit on my couch.
"Yes something happened. The stupid human got a simple paper cut on her finger! All she did was open a present, and she couldn't help but start bleeding. Guess who didn't have any self control? Jasper Hale, of course."
"Wait, Rose slow down please," I said suddenly interested. "What did Jasper do?"
"He attached Bella. Which resulted in World War Brothers. There was so much blood spilled in the house."
"How is Edward handling it?"
"He's making us leave!"
I sighed heavily, "Why is that the correct choice in any scenario?"
"He says that she's put into too much danger around us. Due to Jasper's slip up, we all no longer have any self control in Edward's eyes. Now we are all relocating for heaven knows how long."
"Well," I started slowly, "You are always welcome to come be a guest at court. I can pull some strings with the queen. Perhaps some royal treatment, only for my favorite siblings of course."
"I would truly enjoy that. Though Esme wants us to all stay together. Unless you want the lovely couple coming and staying at court, you may want to retract that offer."
I groaned in disgust, "You are absolutely right. Offer is no longer available," We both let out a pleasant laughter. "Though I do wish you and the big bear will come to visit me. I want you to see my life, my real life."
"Of course we will. I miss you dearly."
"I miss you most, Rose. Now get off the phone, and go help your poor husband pack up your closet. Heaven knows he can't do it all by himself. Queen's orders."
"Yes your majesty," Rose responds with pure sarcasm. "I'll talk to you soon."
With a soft click, I am alone again.
Of course I have the twins, but I can not pretend I do not miss the busy Cullen life. I would do anything to simply have Edward and Emmett walk into my room, to start bothering me. To make fun of me for being queen, having real duties. I want to go shopping with Rose, to find something to wear that is not my heavy cloak. I miss him. No, no I do not. I refuse to miss him. He is the only part of that life I do not miss. He is not worthy of my her anymore.
Yet he still holds my whole heart; no matter how much I deny it.

Hey! Okay so I am a horrible person who hasn't updated in months! Honestly chapter has gone through so many edits, and I don't even like it. I'm going to try to start writing again. Thank you for all of the love this book has been receiving lately. Words can not describe how thankful I am for all of you.
