The Rejected Imprint, The Accepted Mate. (Cover Is Made By My Bestie)

Later that day....

Lexi's P.O.V

We all were confused by the news of me having more than one power, but that confusion was pushed the side when we sensed someone on our lands that wasn't meant to be there. Rushing out of the house to where we sensed The Intruders we saw Jacob and three of his newest pack members.
Looking up we saw on the edge of a small Cliff two men one with completely white hair and red eyes and the other with dark hair and red eyes both staring at me. I looked to Carlisle and confusion wondering who these two men were.
"Vladimir, Stefan, your a long way from home." Carlisle spoke looking at them.
"What the hell are they doing here?" Kate hissed quietly.
"We heard the Volturi were moving against you, but that you would not stand alone." I'm guessing, Vladimir spoke, his Russian accent thick.
"We didn't do what we were accused of." I stepped forward.
"I do not care what you did dear girl." He smirked.
"We have been waiting a millennium for the Italian scum to be challenged." Stefan grinned.
"It is not our plan to fight the Volturi." Carlisle stated.
"Shame. Aro's witnesses will be so disappointed." Vladimir mocked.
"Yes, they do enjoy good fight." Stefan smirked.
"Aro's witnesses?" Eleazar questions stepping forward.
"Aww." Vladimir cooed mockingly. "Still hoping they'll listen?"
Soon we were all back at mine Jake's and Edwards home, spread out throughout the living room.
"When Aro wants someone from another coven, it's never long before some evidence comes up proving that coven committed some crime." Eleazar explained as sat with baited breath.
"So he's done this before then?" I questioned looking past him out the window watching as the children played on their swing set in the garden.
"It happened so rarely that I never realized it was a pattern." Eleazar sighed.
"Apparently he always pardons one person whose thoughts he claims are repentant." Carl spoke up from his spot on the window seat.
"This person always has a special gift and they're always given a place with the guard." Eleazar continued.
"This is all about Alice, he has no one like her." Edward added after realization hit.
"Which is why she left us, of course..." I sighed running a hand through my hair.
"But why does he need witnesses?" Jacob questioned.
"To spread the word that justice has been served." Alastair answered stepping forward. "After he slaughters an entire coven."
Silence all over the room the only thing that could be heard was the laughter of the children playing in the garden through the windows.
The first person to make a noise was Amun, leader of the Egyptian coven.
"Benjamin, Tia, we're leaving." He spoke making his way to the door.
"And where will you go?" Edward question glaring at him slightly. "What makes you think they'll be satisfied with just Alice?"
"What makes you think they won't come after Benjamin next or Zafrina or Kate or anyone else with a gift!?" I added standing up.
"The goal isn't punishment, it's power, it's acquisition. Carlisle might not ask you to fight but I will not just for my family but for yours and for the way you want to live." Edward rubbed my back.
I think felt Jake stand up and grabbed my hand, kissing my cheek before turning to address the group.
"The packs will fight you know they will we've never been afraid of vampires." He smirked lightly, causing my dad to grin.
"We will fight." Carmen smiled as she Kate and Tayna stepped forward.
"This won't be the first time I fought a king's rule." Garrett grinned coming to stand beside Kate.
"We will join you." Benjamin spoke up lacing his fingers with his mates Tia.
"No." Amun panicked gently grabbing Benjamin by the shoulder.
"I will do the right thing Amun, you may do as you please." Benjamin looked at him.
"We will stand with you." Senna spoke as she and her tribe sister Zafrina stood.
"So will we." The Irish coven stood. Looking towards Peter and Charlotte I noticed they were looking right at me and then they gave me a subtle nod letting me know if they would be joining us as well.
"That didn't take much." Vladimir mumbled to Stefan.
"Let's hope it doesn't come to that." I spoke up leaning into my mates and watching my children through the window.
"We shall see won't we." Alastair spoke to Carlisle.

Everyone showed courage. Though we knew that Aro's army was moving against us, soon we face dark gifts of Jane and worse the paralyzing vapor of her brother Alec.
Who could rob you of sight sound and touch.

The next day....

"Aro will want us incapacitated before he attacks. Jane and Alex will try to take me out first because I can anticipate their moves." Edward spoke from his spot at the island in our kitchen.
"Too bad we don't all have your shield." Garrett spoke wrapping his arm around Kate.
"Doesn't help me fight though." I sighed as I laid Rosalie's, mine, the packs, and the children's breakfast on the table. "Breakfast is ready!" I called moving back into the kitchen too quickly clean up the dishes.
"No but you could help protect the rest of us, if you could project it." Tayna spoke as she started helping with the dishes.
"What do you mean?" I questioned handing her a plan to dry.
"I mean showed someone other than yourself." She clarified. Soon all of the dishes were done and I turned to look at Carlisle.
"Is that even possible?" I questioned astonished.
"Gifts can be developed, over time." Carlisle smiled lightly.
"At first mine was just in my palms. Now I can radiate it all over my body."  Kate explained.
"How do you do it?" I a questioned eagerly.
"Well..."
"Show me!" I quickly grabbed her hand, preparing to track her out of the house into the garden.
"Ow." She smirked before following me outside. "You need to visualize it. Picture how it flows, what color is it. Now envision it expanding beyond you."
I did actually instructed, close my eyes and I envisioned it. Okay how does it flow? Does it come from all sides or just from the front? What color is it? Then I felt it, I felt it crashing inside of me against the barriers of my body like waves, and then I saw it sheer blue almost transparent like a clear ocean. And I knew.
I focused on sending it out in front of me first, I focused on my mates and the need to protect them and I felt my shield stretch beyond me. But just before it reach them it collapse back inside of me.
"I think she needs a motivator."
