Velocity is BACK and has genuinely never looked better :3

[cozza-frenzy]

Systober Day 15 - A Family - Velocity (She/They) (Left) & Holiday (She/Cake) (Right)

Noooo don't turn our alters into marketable plush toys! (/j) Seriously though - I honestly could have drawn anyone in the system for this, because most of us consider each other family. But Holiday and Velocity are one of our longest-standing parent and child duos, and have in-sys appearances that I love to draw, especially Holiday's chocolate hair and whipped cream back ridges. Both of them went dormant during our "Forced Mass Fusion" disaster, after the stress of everything caused them to lose hope. And though Velocity was first to return, she never gave up hope, waiting nearly four months for her mum to wake up again, and staying with her Uncle Martin in the interim. She's 16 in-sys, so she's capable of looking after herself to some extent, but she needs the emotional support of a family to navigate life's complexities.

And speaking of complexities; despite a caregiver and occasional mood booster, Holiday's also a trauma holder. Her stress-baking habit means every surface in the realspace kitchen will end up covered in sweet treats, if cake's at front during hard times. But she's slowly getting to know her own limits - and can trust in her extended family to step in and talk to Vel when she can't handle it. They've both got a little growing to do, and that's something they work on together. - Terry

⚠️FLASH WARNING & MAJOR SPOILERS⚠️

i didnt expect myself to take up editing as a hobby this winter yet here we are, trying my hand at velocity edits lmao

i kinda prefer editing like a music video, normal cuts or whatever, but this is pretty fun to puzzle together : )

[patchdotexe]

Double and Copy are also not immune to the "man i need to touch up these guys" beam. specifically these are their Classic versions!

or uh, using "classic" rather loosely here. as far as timeline goes, Sik debuts in Zero Gravity, Double debuts in Shadow the Hedgehog, and Copy debuts sometime between then and Unleashed. so despite how i'm referring to these designs, it's not "true" Classic, it's just. their initial designs before they fully establish themselves in the story and get their "Modern" redesign. does that make sense

anyway. um! their whole thing is that they're two versions of the same person, so there's some design stuff that stays the same between them with slight variation - they both have glasses (Double has square sunglasses, Copy has round eyeglasses), they have the same shirt but with their individual accent colour, same pants, and similar shoes! and also have the same markings and hair style. also a lot of split shapes with two points (markings, bangs, tail)

aaand there's also some callbacks to their original incarnations! Double has his sunglasses on his forehead and is wearing a jacket (although it has different colours and he gets a more "faithful" one later), and Copy has a headband :D

they're also going to get Modern and Future designs like Sik, i just don't have them done yet so watch out for that

It's been rattling around my head recently that Discworld is almost anti-whimsy, and I mean that in a good way.

Whimsy, as I define it, is when something magical is put in just to wow the reader. A magic thing that doesn't really effect the story, but its fantastical. Pots cleaning themselves? Moving paintings? A fantastical creature used as set dressing? A spell that does something cool but we'll never hear about it again? What do they mean? Why are they there? Doesn't matter, we're moving on.

But Discworld always applies Logic to these things.

e.g. The old idea of all dwarfs having beards? Ha ha, even the women have beards. How silly.

But that means all dwarfs are men. But there are female dwarfs, right? Are they happy being men? What if you gave one the chance not to be a man? Oh, sure, they'd still have the beard, the helmet, the axe, those are cultural, but what if a dwarf wanted to be a woman? How would other dwarfs react? Would there be biting insults? Snide remarks? Jealousy from other female dwarfs trapped in their society? What if the Low King were a woman? What then?

Pratchett always had this tenacity to follow a whimsical idea until it was ground down in its own grim reality. It's like those old conversations about what would really happen if Superman caught you falling from a high building. You'd smash on his arms because you're still hitting something indestructible at terminal velocity. But the comics would never show that.

Pratchett shows that.

Introduces a werewolf? She has a constant identity crisis and feels like a dog sometimes, between human and wolf, and she's discriminated against in places for being undead. A conman running a bank? Forces everyone to realise how useless gold really is in a scathing indictment of economics. Death becomes Santa? But WHY DOES THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL NEED TO DIE? WHY THE UNFAIRNESS IN THE WORLD? WHY?

What can the harvest hope for, if not the care of the Reaper Man?

It's what sets these stories apart from so many others. Magic is never the solution, reality is usually the solution. And little is introduced without Pratchett delving the idea to its depths, sooner or later.

Yuuji Itadori: Ass Fixation

Aged-up! Yuuji Itadori (So that the sensitive ones do not cry wolf) @murderofravens I have seen your Yuuji posts of smut, so this may intrigue you.

Warnings: rimming, fingering, mentions of sex

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Yuuji Itadori is a man of wonder. A kind, compassionate, virtuous and easy-going guy with a straightforward and honest mouth. A guy that treats you like a princess with everything he does for you, to which Yuuji considers the bare minimum thanks to his unwavering love for you that towers like a raging inferno within his heart.

But...Yuuji is also a wolf in sheep's clothing. Obviously his perfect muscular physique, his attractive face and undercut pink hair, and sex appeal is far bigger than that of any man. You should have known sooner from the naked girl posters he once had decorating his room. He was a pervert, but the kind of pervert behind closed doors and did not shared this with you for fear of scaring you.

Yes, you lost your virginity to him, and the mind-blowing sex he gives you is pure euphoria, and you have seen him do the filthiest of things with you, to depriving you of oxygen from his kisses, the way his tongue would explore and claim your cavern, to the lovebites he leaves on your neck and sternum, to the countless gropes and smacks he leaves on your ass, and finally eating you out with fervor like a dehydrated man until you're cumming 2 or 3 (or 4) times before he pounds your velvety walls like an Alpha.

But other than your beauty, intelligence, heart, lips and womanhood that he loves, your ass is the one thing he worships the most. The way he'd have you on your stomach, praising you "good girl" and "fuck cutie, you're beautiful like this" before he kisses your globes, his tongue leaving wet trails all over them like ice cream he can just continue to taste. Then he dives in to your puckered rim and devours it like it'll disappear.

The gasps and moans you make from rimming you and worshipping your ass makes his cock twitch. Each time his tongue slides up your puckered hole, you shiver in pleasure, and you would feel his spit slicked mouth smirk as he continues his pleasurable ministrations on your ass. He'd leave you aching for more when he goes back to your ass globes, marking them with his teeth, and licking them, kissing them, groping them, spanking them. He does this while you're at his mercy, no thanks to his nigh-inhuman strength.

It's when he digs his skillful tongue inside your rim, does things get interested. Just like how he tongue fucks you in your pussy's velvety walls with suck velocity and filthyness, he has no shame doing the same to your back hole, not caring how nasty and how much saliva passes inside there as long as he can tongue fuck your hole for it to be fucked and bred by him as he as breeded you before.

He focuses on rimming you, while his calloused and long fingers enters your pussy, fingering you at the same time while your body submissively let's him. The tightening of your core and your rim hints at your building orgasm as saliva drips from your ass and your slick leaks down your legs in rivulets. He hits that spongy spot with his fingers that makes you reel, but that final tongue prodding in your ass is what makes you spiral upward and wither in his captive hold, squirting like a waterfall.

Yuuji switches go your core to lap up your slick he eagerly wants to taste while still keeping you upright on the wall. The sight of you falling apart from his tongue in your ass and his fingers in your pussy has him much more fired up to do it again as his neglected cock is still erect. The marks he leaves on your ass, alongside the wet trails of his tongue made him groan.

"Hey cutie," he rasps out, pressing a kiss to your ass once more, making you twitch, "can you be a good girl and give me one more? Pretty please?" His innocent question being a dichotomy to his debauchery actions. You barely get the chance to say "yes" until his tongue is sliding up your rim once again, making you arch your back and moan his name which has him smirking against your ass.

How can you say no to this man?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I can definitely see Yuuji with an oral fixation kink and an ass fixation/ass worship kink who would also love anal rimming😝😝😍😋

This is the Crescent nebula it is located in the constellation Cygnus. This nebula is the result of the center star first becoming a red supergiant and ejecting some of its outer layers of gas in space, that gas cloud was then shaped into a bubble by the stellar winds emitted by the central star when it later turned into a Wolf–Rayet star.

The resulting gas bubble is heated and ionised by both the UV rays edited by the start and the stellar winds causing it to glow. Wolf-Rayet stars are the final step of some of the most massive stars before they explode into supernovas. In the case of the crescent nebula, the central star is expected to go supernova within the next few hundred thousand years (We probably still have quite a bit of time left before we observe that).

When a star goes supernova, some of the matter that composed the star is blasted off into space at extremely high velocities (up to 10% of the speed of light). This matter will then slowly (few hundred to a few tens of thousand of years) slow-down and cool-down to for me vast clouds of interstellar dust and gas. This second photo is a part of such a gas cloud, the veil nebula (the center of the western veil, also known as C34). In short, this is the photo of what's left of the corpse of a star that exploded about 10 to 20 thousand years ago.

You know, it's interesting to listen to fiction podcasts that center around time-space. I work as a pharmacy technician, so I spend my whole day listening to podcasts. It creates this really intense lens to look through, experiencing someone's story at terminal velocity, all at once.

I get these absolute epiphany moments where I feel like, just for a second, I understand things that were previously outside my mental grasp. And these moments aren't truly about physics or any of the science behind these shows, but more because of this semi-scientific narrative.

Like listening to Wolf 359, and hearing about the law of conservation and realizing that it can absolutely be another interpretation of death. A more expanded, but still rudimentary understanding of energy and life.

There are so many of these moments but they're all so abstract in my mind. Putting them into words feels impossible.

Reference sheet of Shichiro! Inspired by the JJK character animation references ❤️

Realized I didn't include his grading, but he's a current grade 2, future grade 1 sorcerer(maybe eventually even special grade?)! Up until the point he is able to fully optimize his ability, he remains a grade 2, too held back by the scarring and exhaustion caused by his technique.

More about his cursed technique below the cut ✨

Cursed Technique: "Beastial Convergence"

Description:

"Bestial Convergence" is a formidable cursed technique that allows the user to partially or fully transform into a wolf-like beast. These transformations grant the user immense physical capabilities and specialized abilities. However, each transformation exacts a toll on the user's body, causing scarring and damage, particularly in areas where the cursed energy is most concentrated for the particular transformation. Partial transformations, the most used method, causes scarring around the wrists and ankles.

Key Features:

- Transformation States:

Partial Transformation: The user can selectively transform parts of their body, such as their arms, legs, or head, into those of the beast form. This state grants enhanced strength, speed, and heightened senses while maintaining some human characteristics for versatility in combat.

Full Transformation: The user completely transforms into a massive wolf-like beast. In this state, the user gains immense physical power, unmatched speed, and feral instincts, but at the cost of higher energy expenditure and more significant physical damage.

- Enhanced Abilities:

Strength and Speed: Both partial and full transformations grant the user superhuman strength and speed. For example, partial transformation of the feet grants heightened speed and jumping abilities, while partial hand transformation grants heightened strength and damage.

Heightened Senses: Transformations enhance the user's senses, allowing them to see in the dark, detect scents over vast distances, and hear minute sounds, making them formidable trackers and hunters.

Drawbacks and Scarring:

Energy Cost: Each transformation requires a significant amount of cursed energy, proportional to the level of the beast form taken. The higher the energy expended, the more severe the physical toll on the user's body.

Scarring: High-energy parts of the body, such as the arms, legs, chest and back, develop deep scars after each transformation. These scars accumulate over time, marking the user with a distinctive pattern of eye-shaped injuries. However, if treated quickly with RCT, the damage can be minimized post-transformation.

Pain and Exhaustion: Transforming causes pain, and prolonged use can lead to severe exhaustion. The user must carefully manage their energy and transformation duration to avoid incapacitation.

Special Techniques:

Feral Rush: The user channels their cursed energy to temporarily boost their speed and agility, allowing them to move in short bursts of incredible velocity, making them a blur to the naked eye.

Hunting Instinct: The user temporarily heightens their senses to track and predict the movements of their prey, making them exceptionally difficult to evade.

Pack Call: The user can summon spectral beasts made of cursed energy to aid in battle. These spectral beasts are not as strong as the user but can overwhelm opponents through sheer numbers and coordinated attacks.

Strategic Use:

The user must balance the power gained from transformation with the damage it causes. Strategic planning and precise execution are crucial to maximizing the benefits while minimizing the drawbacks.

The scars serve as both a testament to the user's resilience and a reminder of the cost of their power, shaping their fighting style and approach to combat.

"Beastial Convergence" is a cursed technique that embodies the primal power and versatility of the animal kingdom, granting the user a range of formidable abilities at the price of their own physical well-being. The technique's effectiveness lies in the user's ability to adapt their beast form to the demands of the battle, making them a fearsome and unpredictable opponent.

Domain Expansion: "Whispering haunt"

Description:

The Domain Expansion "Whispering haunt" transports the target into a haunting, foggy forest of birch trees. The atmosphere is perpetually dark, with an eerie luminescence that only heightens the sense of dread. The birch trees, tall and slender, are covered in ghostly white bark, each one marked with sinister eye patterns that seem to come alive, following every movement of the target.

Key Features:

- Environment:

The ground is soft and damp, muffling footsteps and adding to the sense of isolation.

A thick, cold fog clings to the ground, obscuring vision and creating an oppressive atmosphere.

The air is filled with faint whispers and unsettling rustling sounds, as if the forest itself is alive and aware.

- Sure-Hit Attacks:

Claws from the Trees: The birch trees can suddenly sprout long, sharp claws from their trunks. These claws are as hard as steel and move with terrifying speed, aiming to slash and tear at the target.

Maws of the Forest: The trees can also open wide maws filled with jagged, splintered teeth. These maws can appear on any part of the trees and will snap shut with a vicious bite, attempting to maim or consume the target.

Sentient Surveillance:

The eye markings on the trees are not just decorative; they actively follow the target's movements. They can detect even the slightest shift, ensuring there is no place to hide within the domain.

The eyes can also communicate silently with the claws and maws, synchronizing attacks to corner and overwhelm the target.

Psychological Warfare:

The whispers in the air are not just random noises; they carry taunting messages, preying on the target's fears and insecurities.

The fog can occasionally take on the shape of ghostly figures, adding to the psychological torment by creating the illusion of additional threats.

Escape Mechanism:

The only way to escape the "Whispering haunt" is to break the caster's concentration or defeat them directly. The domain is a manifestation of the caster's cursed energy, and as long as they maintain it, the forest remains an inescapable nightmare.

This Domain Expansion is designed to disorient and terrorize its target, combining physical attacks with psychological horror to create a relentless and inescapable assault.

(AI used to further work out the writing. Basic ideas were made fully by me, text edited by me.)

If you came this far, the reason he likes camping and hiking is specifically for the quiet and calm. He prefers going completely by himself. He's very sensitive to stimulants, and the city life definitely overstimulates his senses. Eventually, in the future, he goes AWOL and kinda disappears into the mountains for a while. Little fun fact as a treat ✨❤️

Current status of my entry for the sci fi ttrpg oneshot game jam; deadline July 2.

[densewentz]

you kissed a bear???

Also, how did a wolf chip your tooth?

I've actually gotten to kiss a handful! A fun mix of adult and cub Kodiaks and black bears. (All hand-reared, well-socialized bears born and raised in captivity please dont try to kiss wild bears guys. I shouldn't have to say that but this is tumblr so I am)

The thing about bear kisses is that they are great because the whole time you're struck with the awareness that the only reason you're getting away with it is because the bear likes you and is letting you. Granted the bear cubs got kissed whether they wanted to sit still for it or not. It's good socialization to be cuddled and waddled around by a strange woman who keeps smacking kisses on your face.

(as for the wolf, her name was Twister and she got so excited to see me once that she launched up to give ME kisses and my short ass arms were no match for her determination. Wild enthusiasm + Wolf Velocity + Short arms = Chipped Front Tooth from Excited Baby desperately trying to lick my face. She's been the only Wolf Launch I wasn't able to intervene in time lol. In addition to chipping my front tooth she also smeared just. SO much mud onto my face that I was basically unrecognizable) Thank you for the ask!

You thought your mother would never relinquish you from her bear-like hug. This was the first time you were leaving your parents to go somewhere with people who were complete strangers to them.

They were putting a lot of trust in Sam’s words reassuring them that you would be able to handle anything.

Being the people that they were, they agreed knowing it would ultimately be for the best. Sam revealed everything to them except for you imprinting on Edward.

That would be for you to tell on a day of your choosing.

Hastily you pack essentials into a backpack. You were initially surprised when Edward told you the drive wouldn’t take too long.

Now you understood.

His car must have been a blip on the road from how fast he was driving. Carmen and Eleazar didn’t reciprocate your shock, in fact they seemed to be used to it and were chatting casually with you.

Eleazar sat up front with Edward while you were in the back with Carmen, your arms wound securely around your backpack to keep yourself anchored against the velocity. Eleazar mentioned something as out being uncomfortable out in the daytime but that timing was imperative

They hardly encountered anyone on the road by some miracle which also helped to reduce travel time.

“You can really do that?” Astonishment lilting in your voice.

Eleazar chuckles and nods. “Yes, much like Alice and Edward, Kate and I have special abilities.”

“Which leads me to some important tips.” Carmen nods, her gold eyes flicking toward you. “Do not let Kate touch you. Her power can only harm you if she is able to get into contact. I don’t think she’ll try to hurt you, she’s the more level-headed sister. But on the off chance she does, just keep out of reach of her hands.”

“Don’t scare her before we even reach home.” Her mate teases.

She laughs and bumps her arm against your’s. “(Y/n)’s tough. This isn’t going to scare her off.”

“I have seen her decapitate many newborns during our fight with Victoria’s army.” Edward knowingly chimes in.

“Impressive.” Eleazar cocks an eyebrow and looks to the rear view mirror at you. He truly meant it for going up against newborns was no easy task to take on. Working in the Volturi, Eleazar had to tel with many unruly newborns. How he survived for so long in a hostile environment, you had no idea. The Eleazar you had met was kind and docile, speaking in a tender tone constantly. You couldn’t imagine him living in a dangerous coven like the Volturi. He found his way out though and decided to lead his life peacefully with no more violence. 

“Of course avoiding conflict never works.” He finishes off. “There will always be others who want to destroy tranquility.”

Carmen reaches her hand out to rub her husband’s shoulder. “We will fight when the time comes. Be assure of that. We love Edward and the Cullens. They are our extended family and we’ll protect that extended family even if Kate and Tanya side with Irina.”

You didn’t want there to be inner conflict in their coven. Didn’t want them to divide because of this. Allies were needed though and you’d have to take whoever was willing.

*

By the time you reach the border to Alaska, the sky was already pitch black with a multitude of stars. Having dozed off at some point, you check the time on your phone. It was a little past midnight. 

The dirt road that wound up the mountain was beautiful even in the dark. Large expanse of the land easily viewed from the window of the car.

“You and your pack would have a marvelous time running around here.” Carmen hums delightfully, happy to finally be home. 

The wolf in you shivers in agreement, your limbs suddenly getting an itch to run. To toss aside your human skin and jump into your furs. Only then would you truly be able to immerse yourself with the nature around you. Inhaling large gulps of burning cold air that would be even fresher than back home. Even less humans populated this part of the state as it was basically wilderness. In your fur you’d even be able to somewhat understand the songs that came twittering from birds. 

Sam’s pack would most likely never venture this far away from Forks. Their purpose was there, to protect and watch over everyone, not to frolic around. It was nice to think about though. The younger wolves would especially have a fun time in Alaska.

When the car reached the Denali house, there were already three figures waiting. Three blonde haired women, each more beautiful than the next. 

Piercing eyes follow your movement as you get out of the car; Edward heaves your bag onto his shoulder and carries it for you.

Carmen goes to hug each sister and give them kisses on the cheek. Their smiles are strained as they return her affection. Bodies rigid at your unwanted presence.

“Be nice girls, this is (y/n). She’s part of the Uley pack and has come here to personally get to know you and show her pack means no harm.” Carmen brings you closer by gently leading you by your shoulders. “(y/n), this is Tanya, Kate and Irina.”

You muster your best friendly smile. “It’s nice to finally meet you. I’ve heard so much from Carmen and Edward. I hope. . . I hope I can help mend things between your coven and our pack.”

“Only because you need us.” The vampire Carmen had introduced as Irina points out haughtily. 

Not wanting to argue, you nod because you did in fact need them. “Yes. Yes we do. My pack my be large and strong but we still lack numbers necessary to fight off the Volturi.”

You notice Tanya flicking her eyes behind Carmen to Edward who stood silently watching the exchange. Whatever thoughts going through her head made Edward scowl slightly, his grip tightening around the strap of your backpack. 

Kate coaxes Irina back and offers you an apologetic gaze. “Welcome (y/n). We’re excited to get to know you. You must be tired. Our guestroom has been prepped and is ready for you. We’ve also prepared some food too if you’re hungry.”

You quizzically raise a brow. From your expression, Kate laughs. “Don’t worry, it’s human food. We may not need it for nourishment but that didn’t stop us from learning how to cook for human guests.”

Part of you wonders what happened to those human guests. From the looks of their eyes, the Denali coven appeared to be vegetarians like the Cullens. Varying shades of gold dusted the trio of blondes’ irises.

“I can show her to the guest room.” Edward makes his way forward, taking a protective stance next to you. His face challenges Tanya who almost opened her mouth to say something but it was Carmen who saved the day. 

“Of course. Go show your mate where she’ll be staying.”

A furious blush claims you at Carmen calling you Edward’s mate in front of everyone. You were pretty sure even Edward would have blushed if his cheeks were capable of it from the way he ducked his head with bashfulness.

“I wouldn’t say we’re mates.” You hastily go to correct her.

“But you have. . . What was the word you used Carmen? Imprinted? Yes, but you’ve imprinted on him which means you’ll ultimately become mates.” Tanya icily says.

Any previous excitement you might have felt was deflated. You still held onto a compliant smile. “Yes. . . That’s true. But we’ve barely started getting to really know each other.”

“How cute. They’re in the puppy love stage.” Says Irina dryly. It makes your spine tingle and you have a quick vision of your wolf snapping Irina in two.

You had great control over anger that triggers your transformations but by no means had you mastered them. You were still a young wolf yourself after all. And you felt that anger bleed into your veins, making your left hand tremble.

“Okay!” Edward cuffs your elbow and steers you to the front door. “I think I should show you to the guest room now.” He sears Tanya and Irina with a glare before turning his face forward. When it’s just you two trudging up the stairs Edward apologizes offer them. “Pay no mind to what they say. They’ve always had sharp tongues toward newcomers.”

You were grateful Edward got you out when you did. Taking a deep breath, you collapse on the bed and put your head between your knees. Ears burned and you were all too aware of the hairs on your arms prickling.

He’s quiet as you calm down. Listening in on your breathing as an indicator.

“I’m sorry.” You finally say.

“Don’t apologize. You showed excellent self control. What they said was out of line.” Edward sits next to you on the bed. “Are you okay? Do you need me to get you anything?”

Your muscles were finally starting to relax and untighten. “No, thank you. I’ll be okay. This just happens sometimes. One of the cons is that wolves are highly emotional.”

“It’s better than feeling nothing at all.” He murmurs. “Many vampires forget their human lives over time. Not just that but they also forget human emotions too.”

That would be scary indeed to not even retain an ounce of your humanity. In your wolf you felt feral so you could understand on a basic level. While you saw it as an inconvenience, you’d make sure to appreciate your humanity more.

Setting your belongings down on the bed, Edward shyly glances at you. “I’ll be downstairs if you need me.”

You offer him a smile. “Thank you. I’ll holler if I need you.”

He chuckles before leaving.

Closing the door to the guest room, Edward feels any gentleness on his face he saved for (y/n) turn to stone as he walked back down the stairs to find everyone else in the bar/lounge area fitted with sleek, black leather couches.

Tanya and Kate occupied the couch that faced the bar while Irina, Carmen and Eleazar were speaking in hushed voices at the counter.

Seeing him, Tanya pounced to her feet and stalked over to him. “Are you insane? It was bad enough when you wanted the human girl as your mate but now you’ve switched to a dog?”

“Don’t talk about her like that.” Edward snapped, his body bristling. 

She didn’t back down. Instead Edward’s own rage fueled her’s. “Are you just going out of your way to hurt me?”

“Tanya-” Carmen starts.

Darkening eyes pierce into Carmen who relented with a weary sigh. Tanya goes back to Edward .

“This isn’t about you.” Edward hissed. “You think I asked for any of this? Since Bella arrived in Forks I find myself being constantly blindsided. For someone who can read minds, I’m utterly clueless to the inner workings of fate and matters that are completely out of my control.”

Tanya advanced to Edward’s spot so they were now face to face. “You wouldn’t have had to go through any of this if you. . . If you had just accepted me.” Her anger was fizzling out to the true despair she was experiencing. Pain surfaced in her voice that made Edward calm down. 

The last thing he wanted to do was hurt Tanya. But he had told her so many times that he did not return her feelings. It would have been easier had he accepted her and taken Tanya as his mate. He wouldn’t be going through any of this mess. Early on, Carlisle attempted to push them together much like he tried to push him with Rosalie. 

Decades had been spent trying to win over Edward. Tanya hadn’t even managed to scrape the surface of his walls though. 

Her jealous thoughts bulldoze him in a vicious flood. Jealousy, resentment, regret. . . They all banged against his mind. 

“I’m sorry.” Edward simply told her. “Sometimes, even for creatures like us, life isn’t rational. I didn’t bring (y/n) here to cause you pain, Tanya. She isn’t here for any other reason except to mend the bridge between the wolves and the Denali coven. That is all.”

Pursed lips made Tanya’s face tighten. Kate comes up from behind her and gently coaxed her adoptive sister back to sitting down. Edward met Irina’s burning glare, reading her mind like an open book. Hate and fury were on the forefront of her thoughts. He saw her desire to rip off (y/n)’s head in the same fashion the wolves had done to Laurent.

He’d make sure to keep an eye on her. If Irina decided to go through with her desires, he knew (y/n) wouldn’t just let her harm here so easily. It would become a bloodbath and risk their mission of peace.
