Previously…
(Damien’s POV)

For some reason, I felt a little bit off, which stunned me. I'm usually pretty put together, even if I'm a bit of a jokester. It seemed as though being surrounded by a whole bunch of vampires who I wasn't out to kill was a little weird for me.

I watched with a stunned expression as I was brought into an excited hug by Alice.

"I've been waiting forever for you. I'm so glad you're finally here!" She smiled up at me excitedly.

My brows furrowed in confusion at this, "I'm sorry if I kept you waiting, but might I ask why?"

She looked down in what seemed to be an adorable type of embarrassment. "Well, you see… you're my mate." She divulged and looked up at me with a small smile. "I've been having visions of you for a long time and finally when you made your decision to come here to visit with Tally, I saw us finally meeting." She answered.

My brows shot up towards my forehead in shock.

Oh, wow.

Chapter 25
(Crystal’s Pov)

It has been a couple of days since my brother Damien had arrived to visit me, however, he’d mainly seems to be preoccupied with his new mate, Alice. Don’t get me wrong, I really am happy that he’s finally found someone to share his life with, and bring him happiness, but it would be nice if I could spend some alone time with him. I really have missed him.  

Jasper knows that there is something wrong, but I haven’t admitted what it was. I felt guilty for feeling this way, so I simply kept it to myself. He has done his best to keep my occupied and is always doing his best to make me smile and I can’t help but to love him even more for it. But right now, he went out with Emmett and my dad to pick up some decorations for Bella’s wedding, so i am presently alone with my thoughts.

“Hey Tally,” Alice called for me as she danced her way in to the music room where I sat idly lost in my thoughts. “I need you to come and try on your bridesmaid’s dress.”

I glanced away from the music book to look up at her with disdain. “Alice, how many times do I have to try that same dress on? I’m pretty sure that nothing else needs to be done with it.” I grumbled.

She huffed at me, and I could almost envision her stomping her foot perpetually before she reached forward to grab hold of my arm to pull me up off of the bench and towards the stairway that led to her bedroom.

“Oh, stop complaining already,” She smirked as she ushered me through her bedroom doorway, “I promise that this will the last time you’ll have to try this on, then you can go back downstairs and get lost in your music again.”

I spotted Damien reclined across Alice’s bed, watching the exchange with an amused grin on his face.

Laugh it up, I thought to myself, You’re the one who will have to put up with this for the rest of eternity.
