I don't own anything…

I love my beta….she rocks!

I like this chapter…lemme know if you do to…

It's been three days since I showed Jasper our new room, and he hasn't let me leave it except to train in the mornings with him. Training with Peter only took a few more days. He helped me control my demon so that I could bring her out to play at will, but once I got the hang of it, I was good.

It's now Major's turn to train me, he hasn't seen me fight yet. "Isabella!" he called "Get in a fighting stance and spar with me. I want to see what you have learned already."

I instinctively dropped to a crouch and the Major did the same. I summoned my demon. I call her "Athena" the 'War Goddess'.

What like the Major is the only one that gets a cool name? I don't think so.

She is excited to finally get to fight Ares in battle.

Major and I circle around each other taking in each others form, looking for holes and weaknesses. We sized each other up and unbelievably he was the one to lung first. He came flying at me and I barely had time to step out of the way. He came back at me again and this time as I stepped out of his path. I grabbed onto his arm and used his body's momentum to send him flying across the field. You could tell this shocked him. He recovered quickly though and soon we were circling each other again. I lunged this time but instead of following my bodies path, I stopped just before I connected with where he was suppose to be and I moved myself to where he stepped to dodge my advance. I had him pinned to the ground and I took his moment of shock to gain the upper hand. He tried to struggle from my grip and although he was strong, I was more calculated. If he moved to try and flip my body I would center my weight so he couldn't. If he tried to break my grip I would lean forward adding extra weight so he couldn't escape. In one swift movement I grabbed both his arms pinned them to his back and shoved him on his knees I then put my mouth to his neck. A sign that I had won. To say he was the only one shocked would have been a understatement.

"Isabella, where did ya learn to do that?" The Major asked.

"I honestly don't know, sir. I just acted upon instinct and tried to stay one move ahead of you." I said honestly hoping he wouldn't be upset that I had won.

"That was very well done. In all the years I have been trainin' people how to fight, no one has ever gotten the upper hand on me in battle. Hence why I am the most feared. Yew truly are a worthy mate." The Major said, pride ringing out in his voice.

"Thank you, Major." Taking the complement with stride. I may be the only one he has ever complement on their fighting abilities.

"Let's try again make sure it wasn' jus' beginner's luck." He said with a smirk. "I will hold nothing back Isabella, yew do the same."

This time, instead of dropping to a crouch, he just pounced on me, using the element of surprise to gain the upper hand. Once he had the upper hand I should have just called it.

We rolled around on the ground for a few moments, me trying to gain the upper hand but he would use his strength to pin me down again. He would also use his thigh muscles to squeeze around my waist until my concentration was broken giving him time to take advantage of my weak state.

He knew all the tricks and like he said he held nothing back. After a few minutes, he pinned me to the ground used his legs to pin my legs and his arms to pin my arms. I was completely at his mercy and so turned on I could hardly stand it.

He smirked brought his lips to my neck and growled. "I won that time, Isabella."

Well of course he did, after about two minutes of the Major rubbing up against you and you being completely at his mercy, you would lose concentration to. What did he think I would be able to resist him? Please, he is sexy as hell, I would have to be blind to not be turned on.

"Just take me Major, you won, but I need you now." I begged.

"No." he said, getting up and allowing me to stand up.

"Excuse me? Did you just turn down a chance to have hot sex with me?" I said because I KNOW he did just refuse me.

I couldn't help but feel a little rejected.

"It ain't that I don' want ta have hot sex with ya, it's that ya don' deserve it 'till ya c'n win against me more than jus' once on a lucky go. I will not sleep with ya. Jasper might, but I won'."

That made my demon mad; he was holding back something I wanted over something as stupid as him winning one fight, when he knows that I kicked his ass the first time.

Without thinking, I tackled him took him to the ground, face down head in the dirt, and had him pinned with his hands behind him, my foot resting between his shoulder blades.

"Lets see who is better at this shall we?" Athena roared in anger

"That is twice now I have taken you down with little to no effort. Don't think for a second that just because you have see more front line action that I wont hesitate to come in a knock your cocky ass down a few notches." I all but growled out in his ear.

I let go of him and he stood up and faced off with me.

"That is what I want from ya! I want ya to be fierce like that all the time. Never concentrate on anythin' else but the fight. Use what you felt then and make it push you harder, faster. Use it ta make ya stronger." he said. It had all been a ploy to get me mad and anger so that I would lose it.

Sneaky he was. I growled and grinded threw my teeth "Let's go again. I want to hand you your ass again!"

He smirked I knew if I actually took his advice and used and channeled my anger, I could kick his ass. I was Athena the 'War Goddess' it just so happened that I was fighting Ares the 'God of War'. We should be pretty evenly matched. His strength gave him the advantage but my quick thinking gave me one to.

We dropped down ready to go again. This time we both lunged at the same time, you heard our bodies crash and we went down. You could hear us growl and snap at each other, still mindful not to hurt one another, but enough to get our point across. After a few seconds when he thought he was gaining the upper hand, I channeled my anger and pushed myself harder. I grabbed him by his head and swung him around. He went flying and flew into a tree breaking it in half. He was back by my side in a instant. This time he tried to take my hands and throw me, I was faster and quicker so when he reached out to take my hands, I ducked and swung around behind him using his body weight that was making him fall forward. I grabbed him by the hair and pulled him back upright. Pushing him down onto his knees I grabbed his head and he knew he was done for.

"Wow. Major, ya got yer ass handed ta ya by yer mate." Peter said from across the field somewhere. Jasper growled and said,

"If ya don' want ta have her wrath next I suggest ya shut the fuck up, Captain!"

I released the Major and he stood up. "I think yew will do fine in battle, Darlin, as long as ya don't let yer emotions get in yer way." He smirked. I wanted to slap that smirk off his face. I was still pissed that he rejected me earlier.

"Whatever, Major." I said in a dismissive tone and started to walk back to the house I was done I had proven myself to him that was all I wanted.

I guess no one had ever talked down to the Major because in a flash he had me on the ground hovering over my face venom dripping from his mouth.

"If ya ever disrespect me again, I swear I will fuck yew all day and all night, get my release over and over and hold ya back from yers.

"Don' mess with me, Isabella, I am yer superior officer. Ya may be good and ya may be equal to me in fights but I have the experience. Yew don' so ya listen ta me no matter what and don' disrespect me EVER. Do I make my self clear?"

Although I was still a little upset I understood his point and he was right. He did it knowing I would get mad not because he didn't want me. He did it so that I would use it and become better during the fight. He also had tons more experience with battle than I did. He lived it for years, and I had a fuzzy memory of when Victoria attacked and the other night with Maria. Neither of them actually counted because I didn't do any hand to hand combat. I felt so bad for disrespecting him especially in front of Peter.

"I'm sorry, Major. It won't happen again, I swear." I said not looking into his eyes. I was to ashamed.

"Go back ta the house, Isabella, and get into position. Yew are being punished for yer disrespect here today. If ya do as I ask, maybe at the end I will reward ya for yer fight here today."

I didn't even speak I just nodded he released me and I took off towards the house. I arrived ran upstairs to our room took off all my clothes and sat kneeling on the bed with my hands in my lap and my head down, just like I did the first night the Major came out to play.

I knew that I had to be punished for disrespecting him like that, he was far more knowledgeable than I was and if we had been in real battle I could have gotten myself, or someone in my family, seriously hurt by not following orders.

After about half an hour enough, time for me to rethink and rethink my actions, I finally heard the front door open and the Majors boots on the stairs as he made his way up them.

He took his time and I pushed as much guilt and apologetic feelings at him as I could so maybe he would know I was sorry.

He got to the door and stood standing against the frame. "Yew are still being punished Isabella NO ONE, not even my mate, can disrespect me the way ya did and get away with it. I understand that yew have had time to think about it and that yew are sorry, but ya need ta be taught a lesson."

He walked over to the chair I had put in the corner of the room and sat down. "Come an' lay over my lap, Isabella."

Was he going to do what I think he was going to do? Surely not, I'm not five, I don't need to be spanked.

"Yes, Isabella, I am goin' ta spank you." he said reading my emotions "Now every second ya keep me waiting is ten more."

I couldn't believe this, but did as he asked, afraid if I didn't the consequences would be worse.

I laid across his lap "Count em out, Isabella." he said and the next thing I knew you heard the sound of his hand across my ass.

"One." I said weakly. He hit me again "Two." I said feeling resigned I knew I was wrong and I was going to take whatever punishment he wanted to give me.

As he spanked me for the last time, I said "Thirty." He then sat me up on his lap and used put his hand under my chin to move my head so that I was looking at him.

"I'm sorry, Isabella, that I had ta do that. I have never been sorry for executing a punishment before, but that truly hurt me ta do."

"I want ya ta be aware that the moment I take over from Jasper and the moment that yer demon starts to control yew, I am in charge. I want to keep ya safe, I need yew in my life. Yew have no idea how in the short time that we have been together, yew have mended some of the scars on my heart. If something happened to ya I would go right after ya I could not spend another day on this earth without ya." He said he was truly speaking from the heart and it was sweet. He did know how to be something other than the dominant, ruthless killer his reputation made him out to be. He just never let anyone see it.

"I'm so sorry, Major. I just wanted it so badly and when you said no, I just felt rejected. I knew you were doing it to teach me, but in that moment I didn't care why you were doing it I just thought that you didn't want me anymore." I told him honestly.

"Isabella, that will never be the case, Jasper and I will both want ya for all eternity, but if ya do somethin' stupid and get yourself killed then neither of us can have ya."

"I know and I understand now. I wont disobey or disrespect you again I promise." I said and sent him my sincerity.

"Now that that is cleared up, we have a few hours before Peter and Charlotte get back from their hunt. How about I give ya a reward for winning against me?" he asked in a low seductive voice I couldn't help but shiver.

I nodded my response. In seconds he had me pinned on the bed with him on top of my dominating the kiss that he had me locked in. I made a move to unbutton his shirt but he stopped me, and ripped it off himself along with his pants. All that was left was the dog tags I had given him that hung from around his neck. In the next instant he had my clothes ripped off and throw in a pile of fabric on the floor. That one move excited me and I felt myself getting wetter by the second.

"Oh, yew like that do ya?" he observed. "Let's see what else ya'd like my hands ta do." He moved his hands down to my aching center. He ran a finger up my slit coating it with my arousal. He pushed on finger deep inside my pussy I hissed at the feeling it was wonderful. He slowly pulled it out and pushed it back in. I was moaning arching my back which caused my to push myself deeper onto his finger. He pulled out again and this time added another. He finger fucked me fast and hard until I was just on the verge of bliss. He leaned down and bit my clit. That action right there threw my off the edge. I climaxed hard I'm sure he felt my walls clenching against his fingers, he didn't even wait till I had come down off my high before he pulled his fingers out and shoved his hard cock in. He then brought his fingers up to my mouth and said "Taste yerself, Darlin, taste how good yer juices are." Without hesitation I opened my mouth, took his fingers in, and sucked his fingers of my arousal. He moaned at the sight and started thrusting into me at a slow but hard pace. He would pull Almost all the way out before thrusting back in so hard that I'm sure if I had still been human it would have killed me. He continued relentlessly.

"Faster, Major! Faster!" I moaned out he did as I asked and began thrusting into my cunt fast and hard and without mercy. I reached out and grabbed his hair needing something to hold onto. He never missed a beat and I was holding onto his hair so hard I was sure he wasn't going to have any left when we were through.

After a few more thrusts I came again. He just rolled us over so he was laying on his back and I was now straddling him. I took it as a sign he wanted me to ride him. I impaled myself on his long thick cock, and threw my head back and moaned. This was a new thing for us it was amazing. I rocked my hips back and forth setting a rhythm that we both liked. I put my hands on his chest for leverage and rode him like he was a bull and I was about to get bucked off. He grabbed my hips and threw me down on his cock so hard it was a fantastic feeling he brought his hand up to my clit and rolled it between his thumb and forefinger. I was chanting his rank "Major, Major... Ohhh Myy Godddd!" I screamed as I came for the third time today. He didn't stop though, he kept going keep bouncing me up and down on his dick. The way he felt moving in and out of my pussy was euphoric. I was nearing the edge again and this time the Major was coming with me. As we both got close I leaned over and did something neither of us were expecting, I latched my teeth onto his neck right were his pulse point should be. The sensation of my teeth in his neck and the sensation of me marking him sent us both over the edge.

I laid down on his chest coming down from the mind blowing orgasm I had just received. He stroked my hair in his own way this was as sweet as he got he didn't do the whole cuddle thing after sex so this was unexpected and new, but I enjoyed every minute of it.

After a few minutes of laying there we both decided it was time to get up and get dressed we had topics we needed to discuss as a family and Peter and Char were due back and minute. As we walked down the stairs we heard Peter and Char in the Kitchen discussing something, as we got closer we saw them sitting at the table with a white envelope between them it was addressed to Major Whitlock.

"Captain, Report!" Major ordered.

"Sir when Char and I arrived home this was sitting on the porch jus' in front of the door. It has a vampire sent to it but no return address Its addressed to ya, sir, do ya want ta open it?"

Major sat down at the table and studied the envelope like it held all the answers.

He then flipped it over and opened the flap. He pulled out a letter on written on expensive paper.

It read;

Dear Major Whitlock.

I hope this letter finds you and your coven well. I have waited a long time for you to show yourself in the south. I heard that you and your family took down Maria, a feat not so easily accomplished. I must congratulate you on finding a mate. From what I hear she is very beautiful, I'm sure in time I will get to see for myself if that is true or not. You may not know me but I know quite a bit about you. I'm prepared to offer you a deal. In exchange for your services leading my Army, I will spare the lives of your mate and coven. If you decline my generous offer, I'm afraid I will have no choice but to destroy everything you hold dear to you. I want you to be a part of my Army, together we can conquer The Americas and from there maybe even the Voultri, once I am ruler of the vampire world I will allow you to live with your mate in peace only to be called upon if needed. I will await your reply I will send scouts for the answer in 3 days time.

Until we meet,

Alexander Nelson.

Was this the same Alex that Garrett warned Major about? What are we going to do from here? We all looked to the Major for the answer.

"Looks like we need ta call in reinforcements and figure out a plan." The major said

I knew that our happiness would be ruined with something.
