Whew that was tense! I almost wish that Bella would have taken everyone out- just so the Cullen's would have peace of mind! 

Im so grateful to have found this story, and am sad to see it end...

I love it! Perfect!

That was hot! Damn!

I hope she decides to be turned - like tomorrow! Lol

Very beautifully written and quintessential Edward! Can't wait to read on!

I love Daddy C too! I hope Edward can make this work...

Very interesting start!

I know that this has been out there for a while, but I just found it and was up most of the night reading it :-)    I couldn't put it down!  

I have enjoyed the premise of this story from the very beginning. The idea that Edward was on a special task force for the Volturi checking out claims of vampire laws being broken. He'd read the mind of the suspect after they were located.  If their thoughts betrayed them, they were destroyed if not they were left alone.  New having Phil being a vampire with gift of bringing soul mates together.  Brought Esme and Carlisle together twice and now Edward and Bella.  Bella was being reviewed to be a human with knowledge of vampires.  Edward couldn't read her mind.  She was his singer as well.  Bella didn't only draw Edward through bloodlust, but also magnetic connection leading to plain lust as well.  Feelings of love at first sight for both of them.  He couldn't kill her.  He wanted both her blood, her body, and her forever.  With the help of Jacob he was able to have help overtaking Felix and leaving with Bella to head home to Washington.  It was a moving train heading for a crash course towards disaster.  Knowing the Volturi would eventually come after them for not following their orders to return to Volterra and bring Bella back with them.  Edward wants Bella for himself. Bella seeing Charlie again.  Having Charlie and all the Cullens at the wedding of Edward and Bella.  A little disappointed it was just a civil ceremony at the court house, but it worked.  At least family was there.  I liked the way Bella's powers were enhanced by her projecting her shield around others.   That was really cool.  Knew by the time they were married that Edward and Bella wouldn't be left alone by Volturi.   They were coming after them and threatening the entire Cullen family as well.  So when James and Victoria arrived was just the start.  It was pretty exciting.  I can't say I blamed Edward for wanting to attack and destroy James.  His idea of tearing Bella apart was very nice either.  I'm sure Emmett had fun tearing him and Victoria into pieces.  Having Edward and Bella flying to Italy to face the Volturi alone.  Being met at the airport and forcefullly led to the throne room in Volterra.  Edward hearing the thoughts of Aro and Caius knowing his destruction is based on the oracles prophesies of Edward taking over their power and not his behavior over Paris and Bella.  It has nothing to do with breaking laws or following orders, but fear of the brothers losing their control over the vampires.  Destroying him on the premise of one while secretly doing it to protect themselves and maintain their role of authority.  I loved it when Aro tried to listen to Edward's thoughts and Bella's shield blocked him from everything.  The two of them together are more powerful than Aro.  Stopping Jane's power was great just seeing her getting angrier and angrier.  Also stopping Alec as well.  Edward speaking out loud about not wanting to take away their control, didn't want their power or ruling at all.  He just wants tolive with his wife and family in peace.  The majority of Guard and vampires in court only thought Edward was in front of the trio in regards to disobeying orders and fiasco in Paris.  Nothing about the possibility of Edward becoming the supreme power over all the vampires and defeating the three brothers.  Power struggle to destroy Edward to maintain their control is so lame and not honorable at all.  Punishment not for betraying the laws or rules but because they are threatened of losing their control or power.  Loved the end in their own wilderness home totally homey and content.

ooooooooooooo how inventive did Edward get? ;)

that was hot and steamy great lemon!

yeah Edward's feeding on animals again!
