ANYTHING FOR YOU

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

CARLISLE CULLEN WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR HIS FAMILY. He loved Esme deeply, and each new addition to their coven made him feel more complete. Edward was the first—forever holding a special place in his dead heart. Then came Esme, who quickly became the love of his life. A few years later, they found Persephone Hope—a beautiful nineteen-year-old from a wealthy family whose life had once seemed perfect.

That perfection shattered the night her family was robbed at gunpoint. The killer forced her to watch as her parents bled out on the floor before stabbing her in the stomach and leaving her for dead.

Edward Cullen was taking his nightly walk when a strange man bumped into him. He caught the scent of blood and read the man's thoughts—horrific images of the murder still fresh in his mind. Alarmed, Edward rushed to the Hope estate, where he found Persephone barely clinging to life. She had crawled to her parents' side, clutching their hands as she bled out.

Her thoughts were fading fast, but Edward could feel it—she wasn't ready to die. In desperation, he bit her, hoping to turn her in time. But it might have been too late. Unsure whether it worked, Edward gathered her in his arms and fled to Carlisle's, pausing only to retrieve the diamond necklace from Veronica Hope's neck.

Carlisle and Esme were alarmed when Edward burst through the door with a dying girl in his arms. But seeing the terror in their son's eyes, they sprang into action.

Persephone's transformation was... strange. She awoke after just two days, but displayed human traits despite her vampirism. She could eat human food, sleep, cry—and her eyes weren't red.

At first, Carlisle assumed her "gift" was her ability to retain human characteristics. But they soon discovered something far more powerful: Persephone could compel both humans and vampires to obey her will.

Though Carlisle and Esme hoped Edward and Persephone would become mates, their bond remained more sibling-like. Still, they were close and together, they tracked down her parents' killer. Persephone took back her family's heirlooms, and in doing so, claimed her first and only kill.

Later, Rosalie joined the family, followed by Emmett. The coven continued to grow when Alice and Jasper found their way home.

Decades passed and by 2005, the Cullens had settled in Forks, Washington—unaware that everything was about to change.
