When Dawn Breaks Chapter 4

"Why can't we go with you guys?"Alice's voice rang out through the speakers of Rosalie's car as her phone was connected to bluetooth."I mean it's not sunny and you guys are taking a private plane again so it's not like you guys don't have the room."

"Tell them as part of team Fists and Fangs we should be there." Emmett's voice yelled from the background.

Rosalie rolled her eyes at the team name."You guys aren't coming because we are already taking a couple of the wolves. We don't want to overwhelm the real estate agent with a huge group of people showing up."

There was some shuffling and grunts before they heard Emmett say. "The fact that the only backup you are bringing are a couple of wolves is exactly the reason we should. Who is going to protect you guys if shit goes down?"

"Emmett, Language." Esme's voice scolded him.

"Nothing is going to go down Emmett. We are simply going to look at some land." Rosalie told him.

"Then why do the wolves get to come?" He asked.

"Some of the wolves have made friends with the coyotes and wanted to help out with picking the property." Bella said.

"Emmett we have to go. We will be home later." Before he could reply Rosalie hung up the phone. "Why do we put up with them?"

"Because you love them and they helped us out big time."Bella said. "Did I mention you love them yet, because that's the main reason."

"I don't love them."Rosalie grumbled.

Bella chuckled. "Sure you don't."

Pulling up to the air field security gate Rosalie handed the guard her id." The next three cars behind us are with us."

"Of course Ms. Hale." He said waving the rest of the cars through.

Pulling into the parking lot the group was met with a familiar face. James Foogan the owner of the airfield they had used the last time met them at their car. "Ms. Shurlong, welcome back."

"Mr. Foogan thank you for helping out last minute once again." Bella said shaking his hand.

"Of course. Anytime you need it, we are happy to help." He assured Bella. "If your group would just follow me I'll show you to your plane."

"With the amount of money you spent chartering this plane I would be happy to help to." Rosalie mumbled making Bella laugh.

Mr. Foogan led them to a similar jet they used on the return flight home from Arizona and motioned to the two pilots and one stewardess standing at the bottom of the boarding stairs. "This is your pilot Tim. His copilot Micheal and your stewardess Rebecca. Anything you need they will be happy to help."

"If you would all follow me, we can get you settled and to Montana before you know it." Tim told them.

As they made their way onto the plane one of the wolves named Quil let out a whistle. "Whoah, we are flying high class today."

His pack member Jared gave him a high five. "Not bad for our first time on an airplane. The others are going to be so jealous they didn't get to come with us."

"I'm so having champagne." Quil said.

Bella laughed at their enthusiasm. She sometimes took for granted the life of luxury she had always lived. It felt nice giving these young guys a chance to do something they never in a million years would have been able to do. "I'll tell you what. I will allow one glass of champagne for each of you. We can't have you getting drunk on the plane."

Quil looked at her with wide eyes. "Oh,I was kidding White Tiger. We are just excited for our first plane ride."

As everyone found a seat and buckled up Bella motioned for Rebecca. "What can I do for you Ms. Shurlong."

"Once we are in the air my friends would like some champagne. That won't be a problem will it?"Bella asked.

"Of course not. I'm more than happy to provide it for your guests." Rebecca assured her.

Tim's voice came through the plane's speakers."Folks this is the captain speaking. We are going to begin take off. The flight time will be a little under two hours due to weather conditions in Montana but I promise I'll get you all there safely."

Rosalie snuggled into Bella's side as the plane being to lift into the air. "That's nice of you to let them have champagne."

Bella shrugged. "They are just kids. This may be the only time they actually get to have it."

"This may be the only time they get to ride on a plane." Rosalie said sadly. She never really thought about the lack of opportunities the wolves had before, but now she thought of them more as a part of her family,she felt bad for their situation. Some of them would never be able to leave the reservation other than to go on a day trip to a town close by. Port Angles was probably the closest they got to visiting a city. She would have to talk to Bella about it later when they were alone. There had to be something they could do to help the pack.

"Ugh." Quil said. "Isn't this supposed to go down smooth."

"I don't think we are fancy enough to enjoy champagne."Jared made a face at the glass." Sorry White Tiger, but this stuff is gross."

Bella laughed."It's ok guys. You can get something else. They also have food if you're hungry."

"Thanks. I think I need something to get the taste out of my mouth." Quit told her.

"Liam." Bella called getting Liam's attention. "I want you and your pack to know you can to get anything you want to get to eat or drink. It comes with the plane so don't worry about the cost."

Liam smiled. "Thank you White Tiger. I think we will have something to eat."

Rosalie noticed a few of the coyote shifters stealing glances at her. Liam noticing his pack explained."I'm sorry Rosalie. They heard about some of the changes you went through from being bonded to the White Tiger and are just curious.I will make sure they don't continue staring"

Rosalie waved his concern away. "It's no problem. I'm pretty much used to it now. The changes were a surprise to us also, so we know it takes some time to get used to them."

"I don't mean to be forward but the slower heart beat we are hearing is that yours?"Liam asked. The rest of the shifters turned to Rosalie anticipating the answer.

Rosalie nodded her head. "Yes, Bella's blood restarted my heart."

The plane filled with gasps and wide eyes. The woman Rosalie held while crying asked. "The White Tiger's blood restarted your heart? Do you think it could help my boy shift again?"

Rosalie sat back shocked. Could Bella's blood be restorative? Did they really want to go down that path of trying? She shook her head to rid the overwhelming number of thoughts out of her mind. "We have never tried to use her blood for anything other than the time I bit her. I don't know if it would work to help your son."

"I will look for a way to help your son shift again. I promise." Bella told the woman who just gave her a sad smile in return. Bella wasn't all that comfortable with people taking her blood other than Rosalie.

"We should look through the book of legends when we get home. It may have information on how to help." Rosalie whispered in Bella's ear.

"I don't like the idea of people using my blood no matter what kind of restorative powers it may have." Bella whispered back shivering at the thought of having her blood used as a go to cure.

"I don't blame you."Rosalie said.

After the entire group minus Rosalie enjoyed some snacks and explored and tried out all the stuff they could on the plane Micheal's voice came through the speakers."Would everyone please buckle your seat belts as we are about to start our descent. The weather here in Montana is 13 degrees with light snow showers."

The plane landed and then taxied to the hanger where the group was met at the bottom of the boarding stairs by a short woman with very fluffy hair and heavy make up. Rosalie could smell the overpowering stench of perfume and buried her head in Bella's shoulder to take a cleansing breath. The woman was bundled up in a blue coat with matching winter hat and gloves that made her bleach blond hair stand out. When she looked upon the group her eyes scanned the crowd until they went wide when they landed on Bella.

"Ms. Shurlong, a pleasure to meet you. I'm Tullah, I spoke to your representative on the phone." She reached out her hand to shake Bella's and gave Bella a once over that had Rosalie holding back from from ripping the woman's throat out. "I hear you want to look at my mountain property listing."

Bella delicately extracted her hand from the enthusiastic woman. "Nice to meet you to. My friends and I are on kind of a time crunch so if we could go to the property right away that would be very helpful."

"Of course, my drivers will take us all out there." Tullah led them to the line of SUV's waiting in the parking lot. She grabbed Bella's arm steering her towards the one in front of the line. "Ms. Shurlong why don't you ride with me?It will give us a chance to have a chat."

Rosalie growled causing Quil and Jared to come to her side to protect her from the threat. Rosalie took a deep breath and gave them a reassuring smile. It would do no good to not only have her riled up but add on the two wolves and things could get dangerous real fast.

Having heard Rosalie growl Bella extracted herself from Tullah's grasp and pulled Rosalie to her side. "Rosalie sweetheart how about you and the boys come ride with us and the rest of you can spread out."

Ignoring Tullah's narrowed eyed look Rosalie took Bella's hand. "That would be perfect. Jared, Quil come ride with us."

The normally easy going boys quickly turned serious and transformed into two intimidating body guards, walking a step behind Rosalie they stopped her from getting into the car before they looked though it only then allowing her to get in. Tullah raised an eyebrow at the behavior and turned to get into the front seat when she realized with the size of the boys and Bella's height she wouldn't be able to fit in the back with them.

Tullah turned in her seat to talk to Bella as the driver took them to the property. "Now Ms. Shulong if you don't like this property I'm sure I can find you something even better. Heck even if you do like it I can find you an additional property. We have many exclusive living areas around here that have beautiful homes for sale. Why I have just the perfect one for a young heiress….."

Rosalie rolled her eyes as Tullah went on and on about how Bella would just love this or just love that. She was sure the only thing Bella truly loved was her and cats. As Bella replied in all the right places and provided proper feedback, Rosalie wondered how many times in her life Bella had to deal with people trying to sell her things she didn't need or want. Bella was only 17 and this woman was trying to get her to spend millions on top of the hundreds of thousands Bella was planning on spending today. Yeah a couple million meant little in the grand scheme of things in Bella's world but that didn't mean Bella was just willing to buy anything presented to her. Rosalie tuned back in when she noticed they had started driving on a dirt road covered in snow.

"… after we leave here we can go there."Tullah was saying.

"My main focus is this land. I'm afraid I don't have time to look at any other properties today." Bella politely declined causing Tullah to frown.

"That's perfectly fine. How about we drive around the property a bit and we show you all the main points. The ground is frozen this time of year so we can stay in the cars to go on our tour." Tullah told them fake smile back in place.

"That sounds great." Bella said. From what they had read online this property seemed perfect for the coyotes but as they drove past a partially frozen wide river and tall rock mountains with numerous caves,she knew for sure that she was going to buy it. By the hand squeezing Rosalie was giving her she knew her imprint felt the same.

As they came to the main road Tullah offered. "Why don't we take your group back to my office where I can offer you a conference room and some refreshments for you so you can discuss the property amongst yourselves."

"Thank you." Rosalie said. When they pulled up to a small building she couldn't stop herself from rolling her eyes seeing Tullah's picture right in the front window. It looked like one of those horrendous glamour shots from the eighties women used to get. Getting out of the cars they all followed Tullah as she led them into a small room that was barely big enough to hold the group.

"Well I'll just be in my office when you are done talking." Tullah told them as she left the room. They waited until they no longer heard her at the door to speak.

"How did you like the property?" Bella asked Liam.

Looking at the rest of his pack and receiving nods of approval Liam spoke."It's perfect White Tiger."

"We think so to, right sweetheart?"Bella asked Rosalie.

"Yes, we couldn't have found a better place."Rosalie agreed.

"Let's do the deal then. After we sign the papers you can move your pack right away if want. We have trailers that can be set up for you to live out of for now." Bella told them. "When the ground thaws we can begin building your houses."

Liam was confused."Our houses?"

"Of course your houses." Bella said. "You didn't think Rosalie and I would just buy the land and let you fend for yourselves did you?"

"When we came to find you I honestly didn't know what to expect but White Tiger the land is all we need, anything else is more than we can accept." Liam told her. "I mean no disrespect."

"Liam, as a shifter you are family to us and we take care of family. It wouldn't be right to only help you out part of the way. Let Bella and I help your pack. We can more than afford to do this for you. Please let us." Rosalie pleaded. A few months ago she would never have believed someone if they told her that one day she would be not only calling shifters her family but begging them to let her help them.

Liam's eyes filled with tears. "I don't think we are ever going to be able to repay you both for this kindness."

Bella smiled." Of course you can. You can repay us by living. Lately you have just been surviving, take this chance and live."

"Thank you White Tiger, Rosalie." Liam choked out around his tears now freely falling down his face.

"Let's get Tullah in here and take care of this land." Bella said." Then I have a man I'm going to put you in contact with that will be able to help you get the trailers set up with electricity and running water."

Liam just nodded as one of the women in his pack rubbed circles on his back as he cried. The rest of his pack were in similar states with tears running down their faces. Rosalie looked at the group and then towards her mate. How had she gotten so lucky to be matched with someone so amazing? She didn't know but that didn't stop her from thanking fate everyday.
