Wild Souls || Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn [2]

S E V E N

A series of months passed after Bella's arrival into her new world and in those months change was adamant.

For one, Alessia and Jacob seemed to be adjusting to their relationship, although calling it a relationship was generous. She viewed the time they spent together as trust building exercises, of which she was thoroughly impressed.

Every morning they would have breakfast together, which mainly consisted of Jacob devouring whatever Esme had kindly brought for him while Alessia sipped a warm coffee and they spent the short time either talking about the plans for the day or anything that filled their heads. Alessia learned that Jacobs favorite color was a red and his least favorite was yellow, while he learned that she loved swimming particularly in cold temperatures. They learned many details about one another, and throughout it they remained as platonic as possible.

Jacob wanted nothing more to kiss her, to touch his lips to hers every morning and watch a smile grace it afterwards... but he respected her. He needed to respect her more then he loved her at the moment and so he chose to withhold his urges.

When the peace between both wolves calmed he brought her to officially meet his father, and took her to the bonfires. He didn't hold her hand though, he simply stood by her side and whispered jokes into her ear to watch the smile spread.

Alessia in turn slowly gave him leeway, she responded the best way she could. She smiled, grew closer and slowly began telling her own tales. She left out the worst of it all, the things that would turn him away but still she kept most of her life there.

"Renessme," Alessia hummed to her niece, the three month old who looked somewhere between a toddler instead of a newborn as she held her aunts hand and skipped across the rocks and away from there home. She was beautiful, a strange mix between the mother and fathers families but so breathtaking to simply see her brought a smile to anyone's face. Like now for instance her strawberry blonde tint was eerily similar to her aunts but the wild curls in them were all her mother. And her lips were shaped in that same full effect like both her father and aunts but her coffee eyes were strikingly similar to Bella's human ones.

Alessia looked up to the other side of the child and found her sister in law smiling tenderly at the child. They were heading out for a short hunt, snow was just beginning to fall for the season and Renessme acted like anyp child would, she was ecstatic.

Once they were far enough into the forest Renessme let go of the hands holding her and looked between her aunt and mom, silently questioning wether she could run. Bella nodded, patting her shoulder softly, "go, have fun."

Alessia laughed, watching as the child barely needed to hear the first word before she was off, leaving only her footprints implanted on the fresh snow. A warmth spread throughout the left side of her body and she found Jacob in his wolf form patting his nose to her hip, in turn she awarded him with a gentle rub of his fur.
