Chapter 6-

She laid me in her bed very gently, as if she was afraid that if she didn't i'd break into a million little pieces. She looked at me lovingly begore placing a kiss on my lips. I pushed my head forwarding, not wanting her to be as timid as she was being. I waited two years to kiss her again, I'd be fucked if all i got was a baby kiss. It was chaste, but still it had perfection in it.

"I'm so sorry. I hadn't expected to stay so long..." She whispered against my lips, then leaned down to kiss them again. Had her voice always been so...smooth. Flawless. Or had i just never noticed? Dammit. And her kisses, had they always been this good? Maybe that was just the beauty of not having something in such a long while. Like picking up an old childhood toy and remembering how fun it was to play with.

"I missed you." That was all i could get out before her lips were on mine again. She cradled me close to her body as we kissed. My heart fluttered with desire. She wasted no time showing me she missed me too cause a second Later her lips were at my neck and hand were working the strings of my dress.

She nibbled and nipped at my neck making me moan in delight. I certainly wanted her too. Her kisses went straight to my core making me heated and dripping down my thighs and i swore I'd come right there if she didn't hurry up with the stupid ties already.

"I'm sorry." She says pulling away abruptly. "Is this Ok? I Should have asked first. Sex is just so tempting right now and I've been gone for so long..." Her eyes flashed to a deep purple before going back to their original brown. She paused for a second the shifted on her bed so that i was on her lap, my back facing her.

"Mmm..." she hummed. It was unreadable, i couldn't tell what it meant.

Her fingers brushed a sore spot on my back before she placed her lips to it. I knew it was a brush that had caught her attention. Actually it was a series of bruises that had gotten her eye. I looked down at my arms. The pale skin was almost unrecognizable underneath the thousands of black and blue marks.

"My love, do me a favor and rid yourself of this horrid dress and then stand so i may see you." her voice was still sweet and still loving, but with an edge. It sent a tremble down my spine as i rose and let the dress fall and flood at my feet.

Her jaw locked tightly as she examined me. All traces of brown were gone in her eyes and replaced by a glowing purple.

I knew i had lost a lot of weight due to Max's starvation trail but the bruises were another story. Each of them looked fresh and new on my skin.

She exhaled loudly through her nose. "Alice...where are your panties?" Blood rushed to my cheeks as i mumbled that i was no longer allowed to wear them. "And why aren't you allowed- you know what? That is not important. Were you punished Alice?" I cringed as i thought about it then nodded. "Answer me dear, use your words."

"Y-yes, I was punished."

"Why?" her voice was deeper, more shrilled, full of more anger.

"Because he asked me W-why my e-eyes glowed a-and I, um, didn't know why. S-so he, ah, s-said that i was lying and t-that i just trying to hide i-it from him s-so he p-punished me...e-every night." A few drops fell because I was afraid of what she'd do next. Max did say that she'd have no problem punishing me as well. Would she? Would she beat me as well?

"WHAT?" She yelled through her teeth. "What'd he do to you?"

"Something different every night one time he tied my hands up and told me to talk or else he'd have the guard men hit me. Another time he dipped my head in boiled water. Another he held my hands over a fire. But i swear to you Isabella I have no idea why. I swear. Please don't punish me as well. Please make him stop." I dropped to my knees in front of her shaking in fear. Her body was stiff as she scoped me up.

"Don't worry my Love. I'll see to it he is punished his crimes against you." she held me close to her and kissed my hair.

"Isabella...theres more."

"Hush. i don't need to hear anything else. This is more than enough to make me wanna bash his skull in. He harmed you my Love. I'll kill him." She wiped my tears away with her thumb and laid me in her bed then snuggled next to me.

"Sleep. I'll be here to protect you when you wake up." She says. i moaned and gave into my drowsiness falling into the best sleep i had for two years.

Isabella loves to sing in the shower. Or in this case hum.

She hummed her heart out as she soaped my hair and scrubbed gently. The melody was soft and beautiful. She said it reminded her of me. The tone was so sweet, so innocent...like i was.

"Your hair is so soft." She says. Pulling me a bit closer to her so she can grind her pussy on my ass. What humors me about it is that she does it like its nothing. Innocent comment followed by ass grinding, nothing wrong there. "And your ass too...really soft."

i giggled as she continued to grind on me. "Am i funny my Love?" She asks in her most relax tone. I grin and nod. "Odd, i've never been called funny before."

Gee, i wonder why. Most of the time her face was a mask thar expressed her leadership and that she was not someone you wanted to piss off.

"We should get finished. My father is dying to meet and welcome you." She washed the soap out of my hair and let it fall in wet clumps.

My stomach fell, threatening to bring up the large breakfast we shared.

What would her father, the king, the head alpha, think of me, a slave girl? Isabella aleady said it might be frowned upon, but just how much? What if he didn't approve and tore us apart forever? Even worse, what if he let Max have me?

Isabella read me like an open book as she tightened the ties at the back of my dress.

"Don't you worry too much. You'll make a fool if yourself. I already informed him he would have difficulty accepting this, but i didn't go into detail. He promised he would try. After all, I am his only daughter. He would do anything for me." With that she kissed my lips and took my hand leading me out of the room.

I had been in the council room many times before. However it looked so different filled with people. Isabella and I stood by the door. i was behind her and tried to stay as hidden as possible mean while the 36 council members babbled in chatty delight. I noticed a few other people looking very similar to Isabella and I. Other children of nobles: waiting to present their choosen mate like Isabella was. Isabella was right she was a little old. Each of them looked like they had just walked out of childhood and was now ready to be semi-adults.

"Sister!" Someone called over the crowd. Isabella straightened up but didn't smile. I froze as he approached us, wearing a light hearted grin. I gripped tighter to my mates hand making her give me a questioning look. Max took her right from me though lifting her up to hug her. "So good to finally see you again. Two years is far too long. But your eighteen now so no more disappearances. I might even be joining you in battle."

Isabella finally cracked a smile at the mention of battle. Oh how eager she was to fight. "Yes. I can't wait Actually. This is the year. Next full moon i finally become a fully recongized alpha with a pack and everything. I can't stop counting the nights." She says matching his enthusiasm.

"I can't say i blame you. Oh dear, foegive me. I forgot why you were here. Let me see her would you sister? Let me see your mate." I let out a shrilled cry of plead with Isabella tried to push me forward. Everyone in the room silenced and turned to look at us.

"My love what is the matter? It's just my brother, his name is Max. He is a good man a member of the council even; an elder. Show some respect and step forward. He just wants to see your beautiful face." her voice us commanding. Like the night she spanked me. Everyone waites for me Expectantly. I couldn't. I could not do it. "Alice!" Isabella whined, becoming embarrassed.

"It's him." I said lowly, my voice failed me and would not go higher.

Max's face darkened at the sight of me. "This can not be sister. I'm sorry i'm afraid you've made a tragic mistake. Young Alice here is mine. I claimed her while you were gone. If you don't mind, I'll take her off your hands now." The silence was ended by gasps when he reached out for me i inched behind my mate even if i hadn't her iron grip still caught his hand in hers and swiftly she shoved him backward.

Her face was different now. Her features darkened, more animalistic. Her fangs bared at her brother. She looked ready for that fight she was eager for.

"Isabella...it's him. Don't let him hurt me. I'm begging you please..." I cried out louder, mire like a scream.

"I believe you." she said simply.

"Sister move out of my way. She is my mate. I can punish her if i please." Instead of moving she stalked closer to him.

"I think it's you who has mistaken. How dare you? How dare you put a hand on my mate? How dare you treat her like an animal. How dare you attempt to make her yours? I'll kill you Max. I am going murder you! Who are you to touch whats mine?" her claws showed themselves. Despite being much shorter than he is she sunk her nails into his neck and picked up like a rag doll. Blood gushed down her hand. She threw him hard and far. Making him crash into the wall beside the elders thrown like chairs.

In the blink of an eye she was by his side ready to smash him into the wall repeatedly.

She had barely even touched him and yet he was already bruised and blood.

"If it's a fight your looking for it's one you'll get." Fear drove through me as he got a hold on her, fling her into the chairs. They crumbled at impact. She was so much smaller than him. How easy would it be for him to crush her? I knew nothing about battles but i knew when a person was out stronged. In this case it was Isabella.

"ISABELLA. PLEASE STOP! STOP IT. PLEASE..." I begged, hot tears streaming my face and the fear of losing her in my heart. My cries were ignored as she stood up, quick to retaliate.

Her claws dug deep into chest. She twisted her hand and then pulled out only to do it again quicker and deeper. The quiet room filled with Max's cries of defeat.

"Isabella what is it you think you are doing?" a man with brown hair flowing down his back asked. He placed and over sized hand on her shoulder and forced her down to her knees.

Isabella bowed face down on the floor at her lowest. A few other bends their knees to show respect as well. "Trying to kill him Father." She glanced at Max who too was on his knees arms slung around his wounded chest.

"And why is it that you choose to this the night everyone is here? What is the meaning of this? Are you trying to embarrass me even more so Isabella?" The man howled at her. For the first time i saw some fear in her eyes. Her father...she was afraid of her father.

"No father. It's just he abused my MATE! he treated like an animal. I had to do something to defend her." Isabella explained, her head hanging so she didn't look him in the eyes.

"LIES!" Max spat. "She speaks lies father!"

"I am not lying. I speak the truth. Undress her. You see the proof for yourself. He abused her." Isabella said her tone harsh but low. I doubt she'd raise her voice at Her father.

"I interrogated her Father. She isn't human she is a witch. Her powers are strong and she insulted my intelligence by telling me lies. She deserves to be punished." Max said. Blood spilling out of his mouth with every word he spoke.

"Then why would you want to mate with a witch?" Isabella spoke back quickly. "If that is what she is."

"Her gifts are strong. And she is beautiful. If she bares my child it too will beautiful. And strong." isabella growled at this.

"He raped her father!"

"Enough! The both of you! How dare attack and member of the council Isabella? I expect more from you! When we trained together on the battled ground i saw a leader in you. If this is how you behave when you get devastating news then you are not at all ready to be a leader. If this were your pack you'd put them all on the line for a girl?" his voice is harsh and i can see Isabella start to shake.

"No father-"

"Yes you would their fight is your fight and vice versa. You'd get them all killed for a girl Isabella. How stupid of you! I've made a mistake in judgement. Next full moon you will NOT be recognized. You will not become an alpha. You've embarrassed me enough." I saw the tears fall from her eyes as she stood accepted her fate and stalked away. A woman grabbed her hand and pulled her into a hug.

"And you max! You should be ashamed. Letting your younger sister kick your ass like that?" he shook his head in disgust.

"No sir. I just went easy on her!" max started.

"So you broke the code then..."

"No sir i-"

"Max, what is the code?"

"Show no mercy sir!"

"And did you show your sister mercy?"

"no sir!"

"Then?"

"She kicked my ass sir!"

Isabella smirked a little, then took my hand and lead me out.
