A Cullen Loves A Hale Book 3

Chapter 16 Training Surprise

A/N THE CHARACTERS MAY SEEM A LITTLE OOC IN THIS CHAPTER. BUT YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT ALL THOSE HORRIBLE THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE SERIES DIDN'T HAPPEN IN THIS STORY. SO THEIR PERSONALITIES ARE DIFFERENT.

There were only four days to get ready for the battle with the newborns, and it was essential to wake Peter so that he could help. So, Talia decided when she went to visit Peter that night; she would bite him and turn him into a Lycan. The Lycan venom would heal the remaining injuries Peter was suffering from; his body was now at the point that he could handle having the amount of venom that Talia would need to give Peter, not only to heal him but to get him caught up on everything that has happened over the years.

That was probably going to be the hardest part for Peter to grasp and realizing that he lost five years of his life due to the coma. Talia would probably have to send the rest of the pack ahead of her and Peter so that she could help him adjust to his new form. She was positive that her brother would adapt quickly, especially with the thought of seeing his mate and daughter again as an incentive.

Talia waited until visiting hours were over, and the nurse had done her last check on Peter for that evening. The nurse wouldn't be back into the room until closer to the morning, so that gave Talia more than enough time to bite Peter and have the venom do its work. As soon as the nurse left the room, Talia snuck in. Peter was no longer on a ventilator but was placed on oxygen instead; this showed that his condition was improving.

Talia walked over to the bed and smiled down at her brother, “It's time for you to wake up, Peter. We need your help.”

Talia's eyes turned a misty blue, and her teeth elongated. She bent down and bit Peter hard in the junction of his neck and shoulder. Peter's eyes popped open, and he gasped. Talia held Peter down as her jaws clamped down onto Peter's shoulder, and she pumped more venom into his system.

Peter tried in vain to pull Talia off of him, but he was too weak. The pain seared through his body from the bite and the venom spreading. Peter's back arched and his mouth opened in a silent scream as his body transformed from a human to a werewolf to an eight-foot-tall Lycan. While this was going, Peter's mind was being bombarded with memories that were not his own. He could see what had been happening for the past five years with his wife and daughter and the rest of his family.

Peter saw how Liz and Alexis sat in his room for weeks waiting for him to wake up and how eventually they were convinced to move away. He saw that every summer, Liz and Alexis would return to spend the summer with him, and he saw his daughter growing up before his eyes. Peter saw everything that he had missed.

The images were so overwhelming that Peter passed out again. Once he passed out, Talia released her grip on him and sat down to wait for him to wake up. She watched at the bite she had given Peter began to heal over, and the damage that was done to him from the fire also began to heal. While that was going on, Talia called her husband and told him that they should go on ahead to Forks without her and Peter that they would catch up. Seth agreed and informed his children what the plan was. So, they packed up and headed to Washington.

In Washington, Alexis and Ambrus decided to stay with the Cullens since her cousins were coming, and they would need the bedrooms, and the Cullens had more than enough room to accommodate Ambrus. Liz and Alexis were informed that the pack would be arriving in the morning and that after they rested, they could begin training for the battle.

In the meantime, Alexis and Emmett spent the night in his room in each other's arms, making love. It had been the first time since school ended that they had the chance to be together, and they needed time to reconnect and strengthen their bond. In the early hours of the morning, Alexis fell asleep in Emmett's arms.
