Twilight Saga: Dark Moon

Ch 9: Loyalties Changed

{Tahoe, I think we are in a lot of trouble here.} James Black tells his best friend and pack mate as they head into the woods wincing at the beating they just took at the hands of Tahoe's mate.

{You think? I'm pretty sure we both know we are in trouble, I just wish I knew what Talli meant by Sienna's mate.} Tahoe remarks as they both shift to human and pull on shorts before leaving the woods.

Talli pulls on her change of clothes quickly before stepping back onto the porch with the rest of the group, "Well that was a nice change of pace." she laughs softly

Sienna smirks, "gonna doubt what I say again? I told you the wolf was still there."

Talli shakes her head, "no I wont doubt you again, sweetie. I honestly believed I had completely broke away from the group."

Sienna grins and glances out towards the woods, "here they come." she says softly in a dead voice.

Embry wraps his arms around her with a frown on his face, "They wont bother you anymore Sienna, I can promise you that."

Sienna nods and leans into his embrace, "I believe you Embry, besides I don't think they want to cross Talli again."

Tahoe and James stand at the edge of the woods for a moment before glancing at each other and walking forward.

'There's Sienna, she looks better then when she left home, and I'll wager that's her mate standing there with her. I'm glad shes found him finally, even if I act like an ass most the time.' James thinks to himself.

'The guy with Sienna looks familiar, but I can't place him. I feel like I should know him though, he looks slightly like Talli, Could he be? Our son?' Tahoe's thoughts were scrambled at the scene in front of him.

"We're here as ordered Talli, mind telling us why?" Tahoe asks in a flat voice as his eyes flash in anger,

"Lose the damn tone with me, Tahoe Call, or else." Talli snaps, hand clenching into a fist. "You two blundering morons have a lot of explaining to do, so INSIDE now!" She shoves the two towards the door where everyone else has already gone in.

Once everyone is inside Talli walks over to stand by Sienna and Embry, "now for the introductions, I'll start with the two morons first. Everyone I would like you to meet, my husband and the Alpha of the Makah pack, Tahoe Call, and his best friend and Beta, James Black." Glaring at the two she turns to introduce the rest. "From the Quileutte Packs, we have Sam, Quil, Jared, Paul, Jacob, Leah, Seth, Embry and Sienna. From the Reservation, I would like to introduce, Jacobs father, Elder Billy Black. Then from our mismatched Vegetarians, the Cullen Clan of Vampires, Carlise, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Bella, Edward, Alice, Jasper and Renesme."

Billy rolls forward, "Hello James, long time no see."

James pales some, "Billy... Hello big brother."

Billy glances at his niece before looking back at his brother, "I thought I was hearing things, when Sienna here said she was your daughter. Could have swore on the packs that you were dead, yet here you are. If Talli don't mind I'll take over the talking of this meeting, for some of the facts."

"Fine with me Billy, you probably know more then I do." Talli answers

"As far as the war with the vampires, the treaty with the Clan Cullen stands true, if not strengthened by bonds of love, Bella here is Charlie Swans daughter, and the birth mother of Renesme, whose father is Edward. She is half human, half vampire. Her birth was a unsettling time for the packs, but has since unified us all. Renesme is untouchable, as she is the imprint of my son Jacob. Even before this fact the Cullen clan has helped our packs and vice verse, simply because of Bella's tie to both groups when she was human." Billy pauses with a smile towards his son and the Cullen Family. "Our newest pack member I guess we owe you for driving away, Sienna's imprinted mate Embry is pack brother to my son, Part of the 2nd pack from the village. Upon unanimous agreement Sienna was invited to join, though I think it is also to help Leah from being the sole female of the Quileutte Packs."

"Wait Packs? Since when has there ever been more then one pack?" James asks

"Not that its any of your concern," Jacob answers, "But the 2nd pack formed before Renesmes birth, back when Bella was pregnant with her. There was some conflicts on if the Original pack should take out an unknown threat or let the child be born, Sam and his group were of the opinion to take it out before it was born, My pack and I left to protect Bella until the baby was born, my imprinting after wards was a miracle that saved us from a lot of tears." While Jacob explains Renesme comes to stand next to him, smiling softly.

"And after my birth we faced a hardship like none other, With the threat of the Volturi overshadowing our lives. But united we stood firm and survived, and now we have hope for an even brighter future, with such an amazing addition to our family." Renesme says quietly.

Sienna ducks her head before leaning into Embry's arms, hesitant to talk after such a welcoming by her new pack.

"And with Sienna here now, more puzzles pieces have fallen into place." Embry speaks up for the first time, "We know now that it will be possible for Jacob and Nessie to have a full life as a family, as well as a hope for the rest of the packs that their imprints are out there just waiting to be found. I don't care that you are Sienna's father, or my own, You hurt her again, you will regret it, I may not be allowed to kill, due to the fact it would devastate my mom and your future imprint, but you will wish you were dead when I get done." Embry's tone leaves no room for arguments from the two males.
