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

The Denali coven was first.

They drove for over half a day, from Washington to the coldest points of Alaska. The Volvo was packed to the brim with Renessme, her parents, Alessia, and Jacob. Although it wasn't necessary for Alessia and Jacob to come along they couldn't seem to help it.

Alessia knew the sisters had experience with the immortal children and explaining to them would not be easy so she needed to be there for assistance. Jacob didn't need to hear another word as he was quick to agree with her.

As they arrived to the large compound Edward turned her way and the twins nodded silently. Jacob stared at his imprint as she unbuckled and went to do the same when her hand blocked the buckle. She eyed him and shook her head.

"We have to prepare them."

He understood why she spoke solely into his head as Renessme looked between them. He nodded and turned back to the young child with a smile while Alessia and Edward got out of the car.

"Think they'll take it well?" She asked, eyeing her brother as the walked through the snow. This was the first real moment they had to themselves.

"Would you?" He answered and silence filled the rest of their walk as she contemplated the answer.

If she was being honest no, not at all.

The Denali coven came outside as they neared the house, all of them but Irina awaited curiously as their faces gave away nothing.

Tanya, a blonde who once had a thing for the brother was the first to speak. "Edward, is everything all right? Why didn't you tell us you were coming?"

Carmen didn't give either sibling a chance to speak as she questioned. "Is it lrina? Have you heard from her?"

Edward pursed his lips, meeting Alessia's eyes and knowing he needed to speak before the situation got worse, yet he didn't know how to exactly phrase what was happening. "Not directly."

  "Why is your bride waiting in the car?" Eleazar was the next to say a word.

"And why have you brought a wolf with you? I can smell him from here." Kate muttered, lip slightly turning up in disgust at the smell.

Alessia attempted to not take much offense to the word although she wasn't quick enough to stop the words from leaving her lips. "He's with me... he is my mate."

Tanya raised an eyebrow to this, much like the rest of her clan. "I trust that isn't the only reason you came all the way here?"

Edward cleared his throat, taking a step near his sister to appear stronger as he spoke up. "My family is in danger. I need your help."

Carmen seemed concerned as she looked between them. "What's happened?"

"Irina happened." Alessia vaguely answered although that left them with more question then answers as the Denali's looked between one another with confusion.
