Jasper's arm was tight around my waist as we congregated around the reception. "Jasper!" An accented voice called causing us both to turn around. Two vampires, all golden eyes staring back with kind looks. The girl that stood out of me, in particular, looked an awful lot like Noah. I look up at Jasper to see his smile glinting at the girl.
"Clarissa," He greets moving from me to give her a hug "Eliza," He moves and hugs her as well less tight than Clarissa but still affectionately, "This is Lilith, my mate," He introduces I watch both vampires clasp hands glancing at each other with love in their eyes.
"It's so nice to finally meet you, Jasper has told us so much about you. You're just as beautiful as he described," Clarissa says, letting go of Eliza's hand and taking mines in hers as she greets me.
"Yes, as my mate said, you're very beautiful," Eliza says, not moving forward like her mate did, but giving me a kind smile.
"I wish I could say the same. Jasper hasn't told me much about you," I admit moving back to Jasper and Clarissa moves back to Eliza as we continued to talk. I laughed at a few of the comments that Eliza made when I sighed "I should go check up on Bella, I can feel her anxiety from here. It was so nice to meet you," I say, and Clarissa pulls me into a hug and Eliza followed. I turn to find Bella.
"Bells," I squeal, pulling her into a deep hug, "You're hitched," I point out teasingly before looking at Edward and giving him a hug. "Who would've thought you'd be married first, the hermit," I say, and she pushes me playfully while blushing.
"Lilith, this is Eleazer, Carmen, Tanya, and Kate," Edward says, introducing me "Our cousins from Alaska," I smile at them
"It's good to meet you," I say Eleazer watches me carefully
"You're the one with the offensive talent Carlisle was telling me about," I shrug
"I guess," I offer, and he hums obviously, not wanting to get more into it at the wedding. I smile, noticing the blonde vampire's reclusiveness to the conversation as she stares off at Seth and Billy across the room. The angered look on her face reminding me too much of Victoria causing me to slightly tense.
"Irina, come meet the twins," Carmen prompts her putting a name to the face. Irina's gaze snaps back to us.
"I can't do this," Irina says her voice laced with an untouched and dark emotion.
"You promised," Tanya points out her eyes wide with authority
"They invited one," All of the Denali's gaze fleeted to Seth
"He's our friend," I defend, still slightly tensed at Irina's behavior
"They killed Laurent," She accuses
"Laurent tried to kill Bella," Edward points out feeling the need to defend Seth, who was nothing more than a boy.
"I don't believe that," Irina said, scorned getting close to Edward and Bella, which made me tense more. "He wanted to be like us, to live in peace with humans. With me,"
