"Kyrell!" Antonette called out to him with an anxious look on her face as she found him stood next to Elizabeth and a vampire by the name of Kate with fond smiles on their faces. "Excuse me but I need to borrow him- both of them,"she jerked her head to the side and the two instantly got the hint.

Tanya was no longer with them and stood across the room speaking with Rosalie and Alice though she perked up when her sister walked over with furrowed eyebrows. Kate pulled her away from the Cullens with an apologetic look before she whispered in her ear. Their heads turned to the trio of old vampires who quickly turned a corner off the dance floor and to the back of the house.

"What is it?" Elizabeth asked as she looked back at the wedding with her eyes trialing over in search of a certain blonde.

"The women you were both just with, i know what coven they're from," she rushed out and looked urgent but the two that stood across from one another shared a glance of worry for Antonette.

"And the problem is?" He drawled out with expectant raised eyebrows.

She looked around and leaned close to them as if paranoid anyone would interfere, "they are the Denali coven."

His mouth fell open and Elizabeth's eyes widened in shock before they looked at one another in surprise and slight fear.

"Holy shit," Elizabeth said in an exasperated scoff before grabbing the two vampires by their arms in a hard grip that made cracks appear on their skin. "You don't think their the ones with the you know what?" Her question accused the coven who were hidden under the many bodies of humans that gathered round the middle of the dance floor.

"What did we ever do to them again?" Antonette retorted with a unbothered look to which Kyrell wiped off of her face when he turned to her with a serious glare.

"Since I was the one who ordered the Volturi to kill their mother." He sneered and raised both of his hands to grip his face in frustration as he clamped them over his eyes.

"Oh shit," Antonette gaped and turned to Elizabeth who kept muttering how fucked they were as she paced with a hand on her head.

"Well what are we going to do?" The brunette cut the silence that eluded the three with only the chatter from the background being the only noise.

Kyrell turned sharply to her and grabbed both of their forearms with a harsh grip forcing them to look at him, Elizabeth had gloss shining over her eyes as she thought of Kate and what she'd put her through. Antonette was filled with dread as she thought that if the truth were to come out she would have to leave her mate- or take her herself.

Whilst he had the blonde with tantalising gold eyes in the back of his head and his teeth chewed at the inside of his mouth as he thought of a lie. "We are going to do nothing we will pretend that they don't even exist. They," he pointed to the crowd were numerous bodies were stood in a cluster, " could have the one thing that could kill me and then what would they do to the two of you?" His voiced had lowered significantly and so had his grip.

The girls looked towards one another before prying off his fingers and holding their hands together making a makeshift circle. "It's alright brother," Antonette soothed as she rubbed her fingers over his knuckles.

"We are not going to let them find out," Elizabeth swore before she sighed, "as much as it will pain us to avoid them we must keep our guard up for our family."

"And then once the wedding is over we go straight to Carlisle, no talking to the Denalis for as of now they are officially a threat," Antonette said making the two around her nod.

"Come, the wedding shall end soon and I would like to get a head start on things," he said before walking back to the crowd with the two girls on his tail.

Upon stepping onto the grass he felt immediate eyes on him but instead of responding to them with an icy gaze he ignored them.

"Jake stop!" Bella's voice sounded loudly, to their enhanced hearing, and they saw Edward rushing to where she shouted. Kyrell nodded his head for the two to follow him and they came across a stench of sweat and mud.

"Jacob! I think it's best you leave," Edward held an arm wrapped around Bella's waist as he warned the werewolf.

The boy tried to rush at the vampire only for Kyrell to speed in front of him merely pushing his chest with one hand that sent him flying into a tree trunk. "I think it's time for you to leave dog," the elder held no respect for shapeshifters no matter how respectful they appeared to him they would always be second best in his opinion.

"Walk away Jake," a younger boy with a smart suit stood in front of them though it seemed Jacob wasn't going without a fight until a deep voice stopped him in his tracks.

"Enough!" The four vampires turned to see a tanned man with short dark hair and a stone face that never once wavered as he stared down Jacob.

"He's gonna kill her!" Two more wolves had followed after the man and stood in front of Jake with their shoulders tense.

"It's not our concern anymore- don't start something that we'll have to finish," he warned lowly. With one furious look thrown to Edward he stormed off but not before shoulder barging the man who huffed.

The rest of them shortly followed after but the youngest boy seemed hesitant on leaving until the tanned man's voice called to him, "let's go Seth."

Seth gave a small smile to the happily married couple before quickly following after the rest of the wolves.

"Who invited the dogs?" Antonette asked with a hand in her hip and she scrunched her nose up at the smell of them. Edward and Bella turned to them with Edward glancing down to his wife before scarcely looking away making Kyrell smirk.

"No matter they're gone now," the Greek said with a smile and clasped his hands together, "Bella I do not know you but when you return from your honey moon I would be delighted to get to know you," he said sincerely and it made the bride look to the floor before grinning shyly at him.

Elizabeth and Antonette did the same before excusing themselves and sharing a look with Kyrell, "I wish you both a happy life together," Edward shook hands with him.

"Carlisle talks about you so much I feel as though we already know you," Edward said but was simply waved off at with a small laugh.

"Trust me there's a lot you don't know," he said to the pair before bidding them goodbye and sauntered off back into the house.

The newly weds had been applauded as they walked out of the house hand in hand with big smiles on their faces. Elizabeth and Kyrell stood in the house looking on through the large glass windows as they waited for the guests to leave so it was just family.

"Do you really think they have it?" Elizabeth asked with a frown as she stared at the straight haired Denali who was talking to Tanya.

"I hope not but if they don't have it then who does?" The dagger, a black handle that had a large red ruby in the end along with a silver top was something small but it was the very thing that could kill Kyrell. The first vampire could be murdered in cold blood again, whoever killed him would no longer have to bend to his rules and would be the Kaiser in the vampire world, they'd have his abilities and rights to whatever they wanted.

Not even the Volturi would be able to stop them or the Volturi wouldn't have to allow themselves to fear Kyrell. Everyone was a suspect.

As guest were filing out of the Cullen residence , taking home slices of cake and thanking the family for such a lovely reception he noticed the Denalis were no where in sight. Where they in the house? Waiting for the perfect moment to strike to kill him- a creak of the door made Kyrell spin round and hold the person to the wall with his power.

Shadow manipulation, he could control a persons shadow like a marionette with a puppet, he could even tear off their shadows. Everyone has a black hue that followed them around, it's another version of yourself meaning if he could control them he can control you.

"Kai!" Elizabeth shouted before slapping his hand down harshly making the person he'd been strangling drop to the floor.

"We'll I wasn't expecting that," Carlisle said as he dusted himself off from the floor as he rubbed his neck.

Kyrell's eyes had widened but he kept his hands behind his back before using a hand to brush a stray piece of hair out of his face. "I apolagise," he pulled at his collar loosely.

"Not a problem," Carlisle heaved himself off the floor and pulled at the sleeves of his suit jacket, "what is it you wanted to speak with me about?"

Elizabeth looked to Kyrell but he had his head turned to look out the window with his back to the Cullen. "Carlisle you have been one of my most trusted friends and I think of you as a son," a soft smile played at Carlisle, "so imagine my surprise when I find out that you might have the one thing that can kill me."

He turned to the blonde man with his eyes cold and hard but he was met with a confused face, "I would never!"

Carlisles voice almost never raised but it did now and it only seemed to anger Kyrell, "then why did I hear rumours that your clan was harbouring it!"

He shouted back louder with his eyes now ablaze, even if his closest family appeared suspicious his paranoia would double. Luckily Elizabeth placed a hand on his chest and fed him a warning look that spoke only one word- stop.

"You know I would never father," Carlisle walked up to him with his voice soft again.

"Forgive us Carlisle it has been hard to trust anyone ever since word got out about the weapon," she stood beside Kyrell and rubbed her hand up and down his arm.

"I understand," he said and Kyrell instantly felt bad, "but I promise you that my coven had no idea.

The elders of the three looked at one another and nodded before saying, "it has to be them."

Cars like made a confused face, "who?"

Elizabeth and Kyrell grimaced before she said, "the Denalis."

"No! They are our most trusted friends it could be- I speak of you so often they wouldn't dream-

"Yes! Yes they would Carslile because I had their mother killed."

Carslile stood still and silent with his head to the floor, "oh," was all he could manage out.

"Oh indeed."

"Kai I can only hope that they were not the ones who started this, have you had any other disagreements with other foes?"

Kyrell and Elizabeth looked to one another with humour, "if you count nearly the entirety of the vampire world then yes, there are a couple," she mockingly said.

Carlisle sighed and rubbed a hand over his face before he momentarily froze, "the Volturi."

Kyrell narrowed his eyes, "you believe them to want to kill me."

"Not all of them but you have to think of it as a possibility, they are hungry for power and you are a very powerful man."

He looked to the floor with a grunt before nodding, "it is true but I will not rule the possibility of it being the Denalis either." Carlisle sighed before nodding his head but he didn't expect the next words to come out of Kyrell's mouth, "we leave tomorrow for the Denali's."
