What an interesting twist!

What a great start!

Great chapter!

Rescued! Edward has seen sparkling angels. ;-) Good riddance to Crazy Lorena.

Oh, no! Edward!

Thanks for explaining why there was no guard when Edward was kidnapped. He got bonked on the head. Poor fellow. And there was a patron with a heart attack that provided distraction for crazy Mama. Yeah, Jasper’s gifts came in handy for the interrogation and for calming Bella.

Lauren’s Mama is totally nuts. The Elite Guardians dropped the ball by not having anyone guard Edward as he left the stage!

Now that a Bella realizes that she loves Edward, she will be even fiercer to protect her mate from the wackos threatening him. Is Mama M, Victoria?

You are right, Edward's stalker -Lauren!- is definitely creepy and so is her mother. Your writing is spot on. Thank goodness, Jessica called in Elite Guardians in time. Thanks for writing.

I am glad that the nomads lives' ended without any collateral damage.

I like Seth too. he was one of my favorite characters from the Twilight Saga.

I love hearing your daughter's thoughts. As I am reading this in 2019, I assume she is now 21 and you have survived the teen years!

I think the elders will side with the Cullens.

I love that he woke up fine just as canon Bella did.u

I can’t wait to see newborn Edward kick nomad ass.

I have always loved Alice. She is one of my favorite vampires! And maybe Emmett will open a restaurant...
