Thanks so much for this story! It was quite unique and while some points were difficult for me to read, I can fully see the whys and hows of it. I’m heartbroken for Edward, but I’m not fond of E/B pairings to begin with so I’m happy she ended up with Kai. I loved watching the growth of the characters, and everything felt very well thought out.

This story is absolutely incredible. I couldn't stop until it was done. I'm so excited by the idea of a sequel. I love that both Edward and Kai are Bella's mates in the end. I like to imagine Bella ending up as Queen of the Vampires in the end, with her mates at her side and the rest of the Cullens as counsellors. It would be so interesting, and she is so uniquely suited for it. She started this movement, this change. Perhaps it was the reason for everything. She has singularly impacted the lives of so many, and I would love to read how that will affect the future. I truly hope you decide to continue this with a sequel. If you do, I will most definitely be reading it. Thank you so much.

I didn't expect to ear from you again Asher, though can't say I'm not happy!

It has been a very long time since I gave you any reviews, mostly because I grew bored with your history at the lack of consistency and plot it was leading, I must say.

You're probably going to get mad for me saying it, but it goes: please check "A Life Once Lived" fanfic and give you opinion! Please!

Bella and Kai are finally settling into their new life and are actually able to laugh a little. Thanks for writing and sharing with us. :)

Amazing... I loved it! Thank you for writing it, and I would definitely read the sequel if you continue.

Thanks for the update. A bittersweet outcome for Edward, but perhaps that was inevitable after Kai came into the picture. He has grown emotionally, though. He is no longer that seventeen year old boy that would have been too young for Bella. I will be looking forward to the last chapter, and it will be interesting to see how this ends.

I found myself holding my breath hope Kai was still alive

i want to address all you stupid guest reviewers.

1. Stephanie Meyers Twilight is a fictional story. Douche ward and Bella didn't really fall in love and live HEA.

2. This is fanfiction where we as fanfiction authors take liberties however we wish with Stephanie Meyers or our own OC's

3 there are hundreds of thousand other stories out there to fit your small-minded needs. Grow some balls get an account and find another story and stop bashing an author that has poured her time sweat and tears into a story to give you free fucking entertainment.

I for one hate Edward with a passion. I think he and his outdated Victorian views is the only thing keeping his pretentious ass in his Victorian-esque closet. I normally don't read ExB stories. Even saying that, from time to time I run into an excellently written story such as this and think I would read a lot more of them if I dared to throw my choices out the window. Even if Bella does end up with douchward I am not gonna be mad because I got a very enjoyable and fulfilling story out of Bellas bad choice.

Hey! This is my first ever comment on a fanfic, but I just wanted to say that this is YOUR story! Don’t apologize for making people mad that Bella didn’t do what they wanted her to do. It’s your story, it’s your idea, and you shouldn’t have to defend it to anyone! For the record, I’ve really enjoyed this story. You just keep doing you!

Don't forget to check "A Life Once Lived" by micbb, and also try "The Vampire's Alliance" by The VII Duchess!

Everything is so unfair! Stomps my foot like a toddler... LOL. But really, I am still ugly crying at the whole learned truth of it all. Stupid Aro... ugh...
Sigh... I need a hug. LOL. Great chapter. Thanks for writing and sharing.

All this KaixBella shipping is nonsense. SMH to all of you. You jokers do remember that Bella and Edward are the 'actual' mated pair, and that this guy (Who could still have is own mate out there), under orders, sealed her mind away. THEN not under orders fucked her like she was his own. How does anyone think this ongoing 'rape' (Becasue im sure if the real Bella had an actual CHOICE the choice would have been her OWN MATE!. so yeah rape) is something to 'cheer' for? Wow... its really is beyond me.

But keep cheering for Kai... maybe one day somebody you care deeply for will just get his or her head all spun around, and you can call the other guy your 'hero' as he is raping...sorry, 'making sweet sweet love to your former soul mate'

Hope you throw THAT guy a parade with the same excitement you cheer this crap on with!

Thanks for the update.

I'm glad she's finally recognized Kai as her mate. If none of this had ever happened, she may have stayed with Edward, but now I think she's grown beyond him. I'm hoping that there will be at least some happiness for Edward, though.

And of course I'm curious as to what is going to happen to Aro. Maybe Edward will have something to do with that, given that he now has Bella's shield. Maybe his destiny is actually to end up ruling, rather than staying with the Cullens.

I will be looking forward to the next chapter.

Bella's mourning everything and the loss of people was ironically very much like 'old' Bella. Rose being the one who finally got through to her was expected but appreciated. She was being too mopey. LOL
I wonder if returning her memories is going to cause her to feel even more of a loss of Edward. Hmmm...
Thanks for writing and sharing.

This chapter is so beautifully written!
