{Alcides POV}

Erica and I got in the car to head on our way to deliver Bella's note to the Cullens. I could only hope they would accept the news and move on, but I knew that this wasn't going to be the case.

In what seemed like minutes, there we were. Parked in the driveway of the Cullen's house. I hesitated for a moment before I stepped out of the car. "That's close enough wolf." I heard a voice say. I looked up to see Emmet, next to him Carlisle.

"I've come to deliver a message from Bella." They both glared at me. I saw someone else appear. "Damn" , I thought to myself, "it's Edward."I couldn't hear their whispers, but in a flash Emmit was gone and just as fast he was back with Jasper. From what little bit Bella has told me, Jasper could control feelings. I'd hoped he be on top of his game, by the look in Edwards eyes he wasn't looking to "talk".

I stepped forward, Edward seemed to crouch down fists clenched. "Now just hold on there little fella, I'm just here to drop this note off and I'll be on my way." I glanced at the other three vamps, "You outta keep that one on a leash or something." Ok I didn't say it out loud, but I sure as hell thought it. "Don't kill the messenger." That I did say out loud.

Erica at some point had shifted to my side and her demeanor was like Edwards, she was ready and waiting. I reached out my hand to give the note to Carlisle. Edward had reached to take it from Carlisle to no success. They continued to stare at us.

"Well, my job is done here. If you're smart you will do as it says."

On that note I nudged Erica and we got back into the car to head home.

After Godric and I had finished, I laid there restless. I couldn't stop thinking about the letter, Alcide gone to deliver it, and if the Cullens would heed my warning and not try to find me. It felt like hours before Erica and Alcide returned. I eased out of the bed and threw on a robe, careful not to wake Godric. He was going to find out eventually about the Cullens, but it wasn't going to be now. I raced down stairs to meet them at the door. "Tell me, what happened. Did they read it, say anything to you, Alcide!" Alcide's expression on his face said it all, "You should be so lucky to be rid of them Bella. That Edward, he's like a rabid dog. He should be put down. Before I even had a chance to explain, he crouched down an started hissing at me. Ass. He…" Alcide trailed off. I was tapping my foot all the while Alcide was talking. Even though we would never be together again, deep down, I still cared for them. The Cullens were, past tense, my family. "Save your personal opinions to yourself, now what exactly happened?" I asked him again. "My sincerest apologies, I gave the letter to Carlisle and then we left." I let out a deep breath, "You made sure no one followed you, no ones gonna come knocking on my door, right?" Alcide looked at me quizzically and shook his head no. "Good, no one is to know of this. Do you hear me?" Again he shook his head.

I was back in my room now, with Godric. I watched him quietly. I was still thinking about the letter, about the Cullens. So deep in thought, apparently, I

hadn't noticed that Godric was on his knees in front of me staring into my eyes. "My love, is there something on your mind?" Even his voice made my body quiver. He could of said "Bella, that dress makes your ass look fat" and I would tremble. I found it hard to control the laughter thinking this. "Oh, I was just wondering how I got so lucky." Nice cover, now wasn't the time to explain. "Bella, it is I who is lucky. You don't know how long I've waited for you." He spoke and I knew his words rang true. "Shit. Damn. I have to tell him sometime" I thought.

I bit my bottom lip, "I do need to tell you something." I almost couldn't muster up the courage. "The people I was with before, the Cullens, well they might come looking for me…" I continued my story, telling him everything about Edward and his family. I glanced down to Godric. "I will take care of him myself." he said through his teeth. At that point I had crawled down onto the floor next to him. "I sent them a letter. Told them to never look for me or try to contact me." He wasn't looking at me, he was looking anywhere but at me. "Godric, should they come, I will take care of them." I would rip both Edward and Esme limb from limb. I would burn each appendage one at a time and make them watch and I would enjoy every minute of it.

When I awoke, I saw her sitting in the chair in the corner of the room. I went over to her. She was lost in her own mind. I would hope that she wasn't keeping anything from me. She was of me now and I of her. I could feel her angst and asked her "Is there something on your mind?" She laughed and said she'd wondered how she got so lucky. Why did she think she couldn't tell me. Our bond was strong. I could feel her emotions so strong, I could almost read her mind. "I am the lucky one." With every fiber of my being I meant it.

When she reluctantly started to tell me her story about the "family" she once had my anger was rising. The boy, Edward, the dead boy is more like it. "I will take care of him." She told me she would take care of them herself, but I wanted to. I turned to her and held her face in my hands. "Bella, what's done is done. If they don't abide by your request, I cannot guarantee anyone will survive." I should find him right now and end this. Her face was somber and I started to calm down as her emotions enveloped me. Everything about her, I loved. This day had a rough start, there was only one thing I could think of that would make it better.

I loved him. My longing for him to be with me, to make love to him was so strong. I often wondered if it was me feeling that way or the bond we shared through drinking each others blood. "I love you" he whispered into my ear. He swept me into his arms and onto the bed. His lips caressed every part of my neck. He slowly opened my robe. He ran his fingers down my chest, his thumbs rubbing on my nipples. My body convulsed. His hands continued down onto my thighs, and spread them. His tongue wavered over my body, tasting every inch. I closed my eyes. "Open your eyes, I want to look into your eyes" he said.

I could only hold them open for so long. I was like a piano and he used his fingers and tongue, he new every note to hit. I arched my back again and moaned. He made his way back up and slipped inside. "I want to make love to you" I managed to say. That's it, its not the blood, I do love him. In the beginning it was fucking. I mean come on, a handsome vampire, heat of the moment, throws you around and rocks your world. The sex wasn't like this before, nor were the significance of our feelings.

I never felt this with Edward. He wouldn't let me. Fuck him. Godric was the one I loved, I would never leave him. I saw a smile pierce his lips, "It will always be with love." We continued on for hours. I couldn't stop myself to have a bit of fun. Caught him off guard and flipped him over. He was now my instrument, I imagined he was drum set, I hit every symbol, snare and even the base. He couldn't keep eye contact with me, his body was arching and he was moaning. We were laying next to each other and I understood everything now. It was so clear. I didn't need his blood, I needed him.

He rolled onto his side to look at me, "I have some things to do, I will be back soon." I didn't think anything of it. I kissed his lips and let my hand run down his stomach. He was ready to go again. I smiled.

Just then we heard a knock at the main door to the house. We could hear Eric talking to someone, "You've got a lot of fucking nerve showing your face here." Godric and I threw on some clothes and went down. "Son of a bitch, I knew it." I thought. Standing in the doorway was Edward, behind him was the rest of the Cullins.
