"Lizzy's back!" Jacob literally screeched within our collective mindscape. His mental projections forced their way into our hive mind along with him feelings. The picture of an awkward teen with mahogany hair became the forefront of our collective thoughts as she stood next to Charlie Swan, the chief of police. The smell of lilacs and freesias with a hint of strawberries teased our senses followed by the faint smell of beach and blood.

The words "Beach and blood" echoed through our minds as one though reigned over the others.

"She's been in contact with those Leeches?" Paul sneered.

"We need to place those Bloodsuckers under subjection before they break the treaty" Sam's voice resonated through all of us like a swarm of angry hornets.

"But they haven't don-"

"It matters not what you think they did or didn't do, as your alpha you will obey me!" his words pressed themselves onto me, binding me like a chain attached to an anchor. This is way I always chose to stay behind to guard the Rez with Seth and Quil. My head was forcefully pushed down as I had no will but to submit to his command.

"Now let's go. Seth and Quil, you're coming too so that we can hit them head-on at full force" he barked as his black hide disappeared within the dense woods with Paul right behind him. Embry, Jared, Jacob, and Quil speed past me as I hung to the back with Seth. Anxiety bubbled inside the pit of my stomach as my body propelled itself towards our destination. They closer we got to the Cullen's house the denser the air felt, so much so that we slowed to almost a crawl. Blood clung to the wind followed by a hunger for destruction. The moment we entered the Cullen's yard I wanted to turn tail and run the other way.

There standing between us and the Cullens was a tall, toned woman with muscles like a thick bundle of cords. Her lithe body was covered only by a green and white sports bra, baggy black pants, and combat boot. If it wasn't for the pungent smell of death the emanated from her, the height, and the eyes I would have thought Liz had finally got taller, a tan, and some muscles.

"Who the fuck is that? She doesn't smell like a leech but her scent is too strong to be human" Paul said in annoyance, scrunching up his muzzle in degust. I moved to shield Seth with my body as she slightly raised her eyebrow and smirked. She arrogantly marched towards our pack, the closer she got the more the fur on our necks started to raise causing her smirk to widen.

"I'm lord Nyx and you just walked into the wrong yard bitch" she said, her voice reeked with authority and dominance which didn't sit well with Sam and Paul. I curled tighter around Seth as he pressed his body into my fur; I was seconds away from ushering Seth back to towards the Reservation when Sam ran into the woods only to return a man.

"What are you? Why are you here?" he fired off, infusing as mush as his alpha will into each question as he could. She just looked to him with her red-violet eyes and gave him an open mouth smile showing her eight sharper than normal teeth.

"You of all people don't have the right to ask such questions…" she started before a pale hand touched her left bicep, her vision shifted towards its hidden owner causing her eyes to lighten briefly. "But I know Carlisle is a…pacifist so to keep the peace I'll give you your answers. I'm a Shifter and my family's here so why wouldn't I be" she answered.

"If you're a shifter then why are you around the Cullens? What self respecting shifter would willingly defend those filthy LEECHES!?" Paul projected angrily, the hate and aggravation for this Lord Nyx double.

"I said I was a shifter, I didn't say I was an arrogant wolf shifter"

That was the last strike for Paul as he rushed her without warning, from her grin we could tell that this was the reaction she wanted. His dark silver fur spiked as he neared her only to be brushed aside by two gold and silver blurs. Paul flew across the yard causing grass and dirt to trail behind him.

"How dare you!" Sam yelled as the two blurs revealed themselves as tall humanoid wolves of semi monstrous proportions. One of the wolves had golden strips like a tiger all over while the other was the exact opposite of him. The two toward over Paul's downed form like gods. One by one Jacob, Jared, Quil, and Embry launched themselves towards the werewolves.

"Stand down"

The two great werewolves fall onto one knee with both hands to the ground while another silver werewolf with golden paws and spots handed Lord Nyx a stack of papers. The rest of the pack including Sam and I were forced to the ground by thick invisible chains. She flipped through the forms in quick secession before setting them a blaze in blue flames.

"Yale, go help Warren scout the perimeter, Vlad I need you to take Elizabeth home and stay with Zayn until I call you back. Thanks for the information Xzavier, can you make sure that we don't have any unwanted visitors lurking within the woods."

The golden stripped wolf (Yale) nodded before disappearing into the woods joined by the wolf with golden paws (Xzavier). Leaving the silver stripped wolf (Vald) to lead Lizzy away from all of the commotion.

"Sam Uley, Jared Cameron, Paul Lahote, Embry Call, Quil Ateara V, Jacob Black, Leah Clearwater, and last but not lest Seth Clearwater. I now know everything about you all, so how about we talk inside like people or I can get imprints involved and I don't want to do that…unless you want me to?" Lord Nyx said with a cold look in her eyes. She stood as still and strong as an oak but her eyes at that moment was that of a snake.

"There's no need for that" Sam announced, you could hear the fear in his voice. He was no longer the proud Alpha but the scare lover.

"Good, I would rather never touch another person's mate" and with that her eyes lightened to a lavender and the natural smell of lavender and Chamomile started to over power the aroma of dead blood. With a nod towards Carlisle we were all free to walk toward the mansion like house to "talk" with this mysterious person.
