The rain hammered against the windowpane, mimicking the relentless pounding in Bella's chest. Two months. Two months since Edward had ripped her world apart, leaving her with nothing but the hollow echo of his absence. She stared at her reflection in the dusty window, a stranger staring back. Gone was the pale, doe-eyed girl who had once worshipped the ground Edward walked on. In her place stood a woman forged in the fires of heartbreak, a woman who had learned to survive without him.
Her eyes, once soft and vulnerable, now held a steely glint. The once-frail frame was now lean and toned, sculpted by hours spent pushing her body to its limits. Her hands, once clumsy and hesitant, now moved with a practiced grace, wielding a katana with deadly precision. The scent of leather and sweat clung to her, a stark contrast to the sweet, floral perfumes she used to wear.
Bella had traded her soft sweaters and floral dresses for ripped jeans, combat boots, and a leather jacket that whispered of rebellion. The girl who had once been afraid of her own shadow now walked with a confidence that radiated from every pore. She had become a warrior, a survivor, a badass, and a quadbrid. And she was ready to face the world little did she know that when the Cullens got back she would be drawn to a beautiful blonde and a certain pixie.
Twilight is not mine it belongs to Stephenie Meyer only the story line is mine.
The ice surrounding his heart could only melt in the right hands, but you can't blame him if those hands are the hands of a werewolf.
Winter
After being left for dead in the cold snowy forest I was offered a choice. A second chance, or a cold numb death for animals to scavenge. I chose the first.
I was never the same. I built a wall thousands of feet tall and as cold as ice. Nobody has ever seen the true darkness that lurks within me besides Carlisle, if only because he was front and center to watch it unfold. Now I lock it up. Stuff it in a box that I refuse to open.
Many years later, when my family has grown and flourished, the border that the treaty prevents the Cullen, my vampiric family from crossing starts to call for me like a moth to a flame. I try to resist it, but soon I no longer can. That's the day that I see him.
Jacob
When wolves turn 18 we gain the ability to scent our mates. When my birthday hits, I know she's close by. I can practically taste her smell on my lips. When I follow the delicious scent that's supposed to lead me to my future, I'm not expecting what I find.
My mate.
Not a gorgeous woman. But the most beautiful man I've ever laid eyes on. We stand just a few feet from each other, but we can't touch. Can't feel. Can't mate. Because it stops us. The border that separates the Cullen's, a family of "vegan" vampires, and my pack. We are mortal enemies. So how is he destined to be mine?
