(Bella's Pov – Haven 3 – Home)

I was outside with Aiden as Riddick slept in my bed. He had fallen asleep during the trip back to the house but I didn't have the heart to wake him up. Aiden snickered when he watched me pick up his father and carry him into the bedroom. I checked his leg and cleaned the wound only to notice that the bone was almost healed and the skin was completely healed but a small area. He didn't wake up through my removing the armor which told me he hadn't been sleep well.

Shaking my head, I turned my attention back to what I was making. I had decided a few weeks ago to start making some leather pants for a man. I couldn't help but wonder if I subconsciously knew Riddick was coming thus the reason I started. It took a while for me to gain enough pieces of leather to create the pants yet the last piece had finished drying, thus I was finally able to finish them. I had left Riddick's pants on him but knew he would want different ones.

When Hope and Fury started to growl, I snapped my eyes to where they were with Aiden only to notice that Hope and Fury were snarling towards the south. My eyes finally zeroed in on what they were growling about. The sewing dropped from my hands as I swallowed. It seemed the rainy season was fast approaching. I shivered as the wind blew, bringing the scent of water, death and blood along with it. Aiden rushed back to my side as Hope followed.

Fury was backing up his eyes not leaving the large cloud that was moving, what looked slowly, our direction. I could feel in my bones that this rainy season would be different then any of the others thus I looked down at Aiden.

"I want you to go inside and pack what you'll need." I could see the confusion in his face. "We're leaving."

Aiden nodded, darting inside as I stood there. My eyes were locked on the weather that seemed to be coming close by the minute. I shivered again but this time I felt warm, thick arms wrap around my waist. I didn't need to look behind me to know that Riddick had woke up. I stood still as my eyes were fixed on the rains that were pouring down. More Water Raptors were surfacing then before which worried me.

"What's wrong?" Riddick asked his voice was right in my ear as I felt the heat from his breathe wash over my neck.

"The rains are coming." I whispered as I leaned backwards against him. "There are more Water Raptors then last time and that worries me."

Riddick hummed as his nose skimmed my neck. "You don't need to worry, Mate." The way he said that word caused a shiver to run down my spine. "I'm here now."

"Riddick..." I whispered as I turned my head only for his lips to capture mine.

Everything fell away as Riddick pulled me close. I could feel the emotions that were seeping through his side of the bond and couldn't help but gasp because of how he truly felt. I shivered slightly as I finally pulled away and looked into the goggles I had fixed for him. With one hand he pulled them on the top of his head, that way I could see into those beautiful silver eyes.

"I've been thinkin'," He whispered softly as his hand cupped my cheek. "..'bout what you said." Riddick's eyes seemed to be heated as he stared at me. "The reason I couldn't say anything was because I didn't know what these feelings were."

A lump suddenly appeared in my throat. "Do you know what they are now?"

"Yeah," Riddick smirked as his eyes started to twinkle. "I love you."

Riddick didn't waste anymore time as he captured my mouth again with his own. I whimpered as I wrapped my hands around the back of his neck and pulled him closer. His hands were on my hips pulling me as close as I could go and then some. I could feel his arousal for me but I knew now was not the time. I threw my head back and moaned as Riddick's lips attached to my throat. My hands were digging into his shoulders but he didn't seem to mind as I felt his teeth pierce my skin.

I was shaking as he took a mouth full then pulled away, licking the wound closed. He pulled away causing me to blink my hazy eyes. I looked up into Riddick's face only to see him with a raised brow as he gazed over my shoulder. It was then I heard a thrumming which told me Aiden was standing behind me. I stiffened which seemed to be funny because Aiden started to make a gagging noise. I pulled away from Riddick and turned to my, our, son.

"Something wrong?" I asked as I raised a brow at him.

Aiden wrinkled his nose. "Not wrong, just gross." He cut his eyes to Riddick. "Is Rid... er, Dad coming with us?"

"Of course he is." I answered with a frown. "Why?"

Aiden dropped his head kicking the rocks at his feet. "Just wonderin' if he's gonna stay."

"Aiden..." I whispered but Riddick beat me over to him.

"I ain't gonna leave you or your mom again." Riddick placed his hand on Aiden's shoulder. "I promise."

My heart swelled as I watched Riddick kiss Aiden on the forehead. I didn't say anything as I went back over and grabbed my sewing. I also needed to pack but I wanted to finish Riddick's pants first. I headed into the house as Hope and Fury stayed outside with Riddick and Aiden. I only had a few stitches to finish thus once I was done, I placed the pants over the back of the couch and headed into my room. I wouldn't be taking a lot with me but the things I would be taking were from Aiden's younger years.

I pulled a small shoe sized box out from under a rock and lifted the lid. A necklace of sharp teeth were strung along on a piece of wire along with a dried skin of the said creature that the teeth came from. I felt my heart swell because the memories flashed through my mind as I held the necklace and skin. I didn't realize Riddick had come into the bedroom until I felt his hand on my shoulder. I turned my head to look at him only to find he was staring at the necklace and skin in my hand.

"Aiden's playin' with Fury and Hope." Riddick told me as he moved around in front of me, pulling the Necro pants off. "What're those?" He nodded to the necklace and skin.

"Aiden's first kill." I whispered as I felt a tear fall down my cheek. "It was an odd creature. We landed on a planet with no human life." I shook my head as I looked to Riddick, finding him sliding the leather pants on. "He has the burn in the back of his throat like a vampire yet it isn't as bad as mine. He was thirsty thus I allowed him to take off. Fury had went with him yet when he came back, he had the creature slung over his shoulder with the teeth in his hands." I chuckled remembering how I acted. "I was rather stupid because I scolded him. After a little while Aiden brought me this necklace and told me that he didn't get hurt or injured."

I stood up and walked over, sliding the necklace over Riddick's head. Riddick frowned but I just shook my head pulling him down to capture his lips with mine. He growled deep in his throat as he pulled me tighter to him. I didn't know why but just being in his arms made me feel whole. His tongue found its way into my mouth which made me swoon. Riddick pulled me tighter against him as his right hand moved down to squeeze my ass. I blushed pulling back and looking into his eyes.

"Bella..." Riddick's eyes were darker then they had been yet I knew we had things to do before we left.

I placed a finger on his lips. "Shh." I told him pressing a kiss to his lips then pulling back. "We can talk later. There are things we need to do before we go and make the call."

"Don't you have a ship?" Riddick asked me as I moved over to the trunk and pulled out some of my clothes I bought.

"No," I shook my head as I walked over to my duffel back and started to shove the clothes inside. "Boss Johns dropped Aiden and I off." I cut my eyes to Riddick. "This is a Merc outpost."

Riddick growled low in his throat as he pulled his goggles back over his eyes. "Figures."

"I can only hope that Johns is in the area and not someone else." I said as I picked up my little box and placed it on the top, after placing the skin back.

"You and me both." Riddick agreed as his eyes followed me behind his goggles. "So, what do you want me to do?"

I stopped what I was doing and turned to him. "If you would, get Fury ready to carry the things we have."

"Alright." Riddick told me, dropping a kiss on my forehead as he headed outside.

I watched with a smile on my face as I watched him disappear out of the bedroom. I couldn't help but wonder if things would be different now because of the fact he came to me. Whether he knew it or not, Riddick was being lead back to me which I couldn't be more grateful for. Shaking my head, I picked up my duffel bag, slinging it over my shoulder. Heading into the living room/kitchen, I decided to take a few things from there as well. Not many but enough in case we needed it. I couldn't help but wonder, looking outside in the distance, if the rainy season would hit us before we could get off this rock.

(Few Hours Later)

Bella clicked her tongue to stop Fury and Hope as she came to the place where they would wait for Jasper to arrive. Riddick stayed out side of the cave while Bella headed into cavern with Aiden, Fury and Hope. The sun was still shining thus they had a few more hours before the rains hit but Bella didn't want to wait much longer. As soon as she had Aiden settled for a little while, she turned her attention to Fury and Hope. She had no doubt that Johns would come searching for her if Jasper said something thus she wanted Johns to find Aiden and the two hounds.

She knew that Boss Johns seemed to be the only mercenary she came across that had some kind of honor. Making sure that things were put away where no one could find them, unless they looked, Bella stood and kissed Aiden on the top of his head. The boy frowned as he looked at his mother then out to where his father was located. Hope and Fury were sitting on either side making sure he stayed warm since night was closing in on them.

"I want you to stay here unless you see Boss," Bella told Aiden as she placed a hand on his shoulders. "Only if you see him do you come out of hiding. Got it?"

Aiden nodded as he bit his lip. "Can I tell dad bye?"

"You don't need to." Bella whispered as she smiled at him, scooping him up and giving him a hug. "You'll see us again. Just remember that until I give you the signal, you don't know us." She placed Aiden back on his feet.

He hit another growth spurt and now stood just under her breast. "You'll do fine, boy." Riddick said as he leaned against the entrance. "You have your mother and my instincts."

"Dad..." Aiden whispered as tears started to fall, only for him to lunge and wrap his arms around Riddick's neck in one leap.

"Oh Aiden." Bella whispered to herself as she smiled sadly to Riddick who held the boy as he cried against the convicts shoulder. ….He's worried you'll leave and wont come back... Bella told Riddick through their link, mentally.

Riddick cut his eyes, hidden behind the goggles to his mate and gave her a curt nod. "Don't worry, your mom and I will be back. Until then, keep Hope and Fury out of trouble." He ruffled Aiden's head as he set the boy down. "I wont leave you twice."

"Ok." Aiden nodded as he wiped his tears and moved back over to wrap his arms around his mothers waist. "Keep dad safe mum." This caused Riddick to raise a brow at his son's back.

"I will." Bella chuckled as she kissed his head once more then pulled away. "Remember, only if you see Boss Johns, Dahl or Jasper do you come out. I know those three wont hurt you."

Aiden frowned. "What about Lockspur and Moss?"

"Just Johns, Dahl and Jasper." Bella told her son with a shake of the head. "They're not afraid of Hope or Fury." She chuckled seeing Riddick's smirk. "Moss and Lockspur don't like Hope or Fury and are afraid so they wont listen to them. Just those three ok?"

"Ok." Aiden nodded as he watched his mum and dad take off out into the fading sun.

Be careful mum, dad. He thought as he sat down and leaned his head against Fury's side as Hope layed her head in his lap.

(With Riddick & Bella)

Bella and Riddick moved quickly and quietly over the uneven terrain as they headed to the Merc outpost. Neither of them spoke as they kept their senses open in case of an attack. Bella could hear something in the distance and noticed that the rain was about 24 to 30 hours away which gave them about a day and a half before it hit. A shiver of dread went down her spine as she turned her focus on Riddick. She could see him limping as he ran beside her.

"You need to feed." She told him as she turned her eyes back in front of her, sniffing the air to find any 'food' source.

"No I don't." Riddick growled as he felt the thirst rising in his throat. "I'll be fine."

Bella couldn't help but snort as she jerked Riddick to a stop. "Either you feed now, or you feed from one of the mercs that come." Her black eyes showed she also needed to feed. "Remember I can feel your emotions through the bond, Riddick."

"Sorry, babe." Riddick had forgotten about that, as he pulled her close. "Do you smell anything that can tide us over?"

"Hold on," Bella told him as she closed her eyes and breathed in the air around her, as well as taking in the scents.

Riddick felt as Bella tensed as the thirst from their bond grew more intense. He knew immediately that Bella had found a food source. Releasing his mate, Riddick followed silently behind her as they traveled over the terrain to a large watering hole. His eyes, even behind the goggles, could see the large Water Raptors that Bella talked about underneath the murky water. He turned his attention to Bella and waited for her to make the first move.

Riddick stayed as still as he could as Bella crept closer to the edge of the water with her hands bent in a claw shape. In a flash, a tail popped up out of the water and started to swing back and forth as if it was trying to hypnotize her, yet Riddick could see the smirk in her face as she kept her eyes darting from the water to the tail. She slammed her foot into the water and slide it forward. She chuckled as the tail came at her only for her to slash it with her nails.

The water Raptor then popped up and snapped its fangs around her thigh which caused her to hiss out in pain before she grabbed it around the top and bottom jaw and removed its fangs from her leg. She then flipped it around, latching her teeth onto the thin skin that was on the underside of the creatures neck. Riddick felt himself hardening in his pants as he watched his mate feed. Her black eyes flashed a topaz color before turned black as she dropped the Water Raptor on the ground.

"Now your turn." Bella purred as she licked her lips.

Riddick growled as he walked over, jerking Bella into his arms. "My turn." He murmured as a vibration rippled through his chest and into Bella's body causing her to shiver. "Pick one for me, mate."

Bella nodded, almost hypnotized, as she moved forward towards the pool of fresh water. It didn't take her long before she pulled a big Water Raptor out of the water by the jaws. It stinger had tried to hit her yet Bella was quicker and looped her arm around the back end where it wasn't able to pull away. Her black eyes darted towards Riddick as she tossed the creature further away from the water. Riddick didn't waste anytime as he latched onto the thin skin over the blood vessel he was aiming for.

Bella stood back as she kept her senses open in case of an attack from one of the other creatures yet they seemed to realize that two predators were around. They must have decided it would be safer if they stayed hidden since Bella walked right into the water and drug the bigger of the Water Raptors out without much problem. They may look as if they were a dumb animal yet they were able to tell from prey to predator. Bella kept her eyes locked on Riddick, which sent a flush of heat through her body.

Riddick's eyes were a dark silver yet with his goggles covering his eyes, Bella was unable to see the heated look. It took him no time before he drained his food supply. He dropped it at his feet and stepped on it's head as he stalked forward to where Bella stood. He slide his goggles up which allowed Bella to see the heated look he was giving her. She shivered in desire as she smirked, backing up until her back hit a rock. Riddick thought he had her until she crouched then jumped onto a ledge.

Riddick growled but followed after her, finally pinning her to the wall as his fangs latched onto her neck. Bella shivered as she turned her head but she wasn't giving up just yet. Pushing with everything she had, Bella was able to send Riddick flying backwards. He flipped a few times and landed on his good leg as soon as he touched the ground. His dark silver eyes locked on Bella as he growled deep in his throat demanding his mate to submit.

Neither of them realized they were going through the courting dance of a Furyan male and female.

Yes, they had already mated, yet they had not fought one another because of the tight spaces. Riddick was also unable to prove his dominance over Bella because of his cowardice before. He knew instantly what was going on when his Furyan side reared his head and demanded to make his mate submit. A wicked grin spread across Riddick's face but soon disappeared when Bella jumped over him and took off in the direction of the Merc outpost.

(Bella's Pov – Running Towards Merc Outpost)

I didn't know why but watching Riddick feed from the Water Raptor caused my body to heat up more then it ever had before. Even more when I watched Edward take down a dear or elk. I shivered as I cut my eyes over my shoulder as I ran only to see that Riddick was closing in rather quickly. I turned my eyes back ahead of me and spotted a cave high up in the side of a rock formation. To me it seemed the rocks fell just at the right angles to create a shelf with a roof.

With one leap, I landed on the side of the mountain and started to climb up to the shelf with ease. When the rock vibrated under me, I knew instantly that Riddick had caught up to me. I snarled loudly as I landed on the shelf and spun around just in time to move out of Riddick's grasp. He growled low at me, which made me want to submit in some ways and in others I wanted to fight him. I could remember from long ago when I did the same thing to Edward.

Shaking my head, I pushed Edward's image out of my mind because this would be very different then the fight with Edward. Riddick knew how to fight and so did I. This would only be a battle of wits instead of strength. I crouched, ready for anything Riddick threw at me, only he lunged straight for me. I was able to duck and roll to the side, swiping his feet from underneath him before I rose back to my feet. Riddick growled at me as he stood and turned to me.

His goggles were around his forearm that way he didn't lost them or for them to get lost in our scuffle. I smirked as I held my hand out, beckoning him forward. I wasn't disappointed as he came to me but he must have known what I was going to do because in a flash, he grabbed my right wrist and pulled me to him. His left hand holding my left wrist as his right held my right wrist. My arms were crossed over my chest and it was a rather difficult position to get out of.

I wiggled around only for fangs to latch onto my neck. I stiffen, hoping he would loosen his grip which he did. For that much I was grateful because I slid from his embrace and kicked him in the stomach, sending him backwards and making him release my wrist. I chuckled as his eyes grew wide when he flew over the side of the steep cliff. I moved over to the edge and noticed he flipped around in air and landed on his feet. His silver eyes narrowed as they moved up the side of the hill until they found me. I couldn't help but smirk as I tilted my head, flipping my hair over my shoulder.

"What's a matter, honey?" I purred as I looked down at him. "Getting soft in your old age?" I batted my eyes as I watched him launch himself on the side of the hill but I jumped over him and landed in a crouch on the ground, only to take off again.

My laughter echoed in the air, along with his deep pissed off growl, as I ran from my mate because so far I had been able to defend myself. My vampire side wanted a strong mate and if Riddick couldn't pin me and make me submit then there was no way I could have him as a mate. My vampire side wouldn't allow me. I was also proving to Riddick that I could take care of myself thus he didn't need to worry about me getting in the way.

I was a good mate and would do anything to make my mate happy. If only, he would catch up. I could hear him gaining on me thus I turned back to look only to find he wasn't there. I stopped with a frown but soon realized my mistake when two solid arms wrapped their way around my arms, pinning me to his body. Riddick's breathe brushed across my neck which caused a shiver to run down my spine as I heard his chest vibrate as he chuckled.

"Do ya really think ya could get away from me?" Riddick asked me quietly as he allowed one arm to hold me as he grabbed a hand full of hair and pulled my head back exposing my neck. "Did ya?"

"I..." I couldn't speak because of the fact Riddick's lips were attached to my neck.

Riddick chuckled as he spun me around to where I was facing him. "You what?" His hands were on my hips as he walked me backwards. "You thought you could out run me? Or did you want me to catch you?"

I couldn't speak as I looked into his eyes. The look he was giving me caused me to shiver in want and need. Not to mention, the way his hands gripped my hips made me believe he could protect me but I wanted to see first hand if he could take me down. With a smirk, I raised up and pressed my lips to his which caught him off guard. I was able to push him backwards until he fell to the ground with a grunt. I straddled his hips as I ran my nails down his chest.

Riddick's silver eyes grew darker as his grip on my hips grew harder. I chuckled as I grabbed his hands and pulled them away with ease. Riddick growled but I was quick on my feet as I was able to dodge him, getting up and moving a good distance. His eyes narrowed but I could tell he knew what I was up to because of the flare of his nose as he took in my scent. If possible, his eyes grew almost black as he started to stalk around me. I kept my eyes and ears open for any movement he may make.

The look in his eyes were of a male trying to win over his female which caused another swell of heat to blossom through my body. Riddick must have seen an opening because he lunged towards me. I was able to dodge him as I nicked him with my nails drawing blood. I brought my fingers up to my lips and licked the blood off my fingers which caused Riddick to snarl but I noticed that his leather pants were straining against him as he stood there.

"Problem?" I cooed, my voice rather husky.

Riddick smirked as he tilted his head. "Nope."

In the blink of an eye, I was suddenly pinned to the ground on my stomach with Riddick pinning me. My eyes grew wide as I suddenly realized he was playing with me all along. His chuckle in my ear proved me right because of the fact his thigh was shoved between my legs as his right hand held both of my wrist behind my back. I couldn't move even if I wanted to. I struggled for a little bit because I didn't want to just lay down but after a few minutes, I felt the fight leave me as I tilted my head to the side and whimpered.

"Hmmmm." Riddick hummed as his nose trailed along my neck up to my ear then back down. "Such a feisty woman." He paused for a moment to place a open mouth kiss on my pulse point. "I like it and I love you."

I gasped as I felt his teeth find their mark as they embedded into the skin on my neck. As his teeth were embedded in my neck, his left hand was pulling me up just a little bit where he could pull my pants down around my knees. I was grateful that I was kneeling on my pants but gasped when I was suddenly impaled on his harden pulsing length. Riddick pulled me up to where I was able to use one hand to hold myself as he kept a hold of the other, while his free hand was wrapped in my hair.

His thrust weren't passionate but dominating which made me feel protected. I couldn't stop the heat boiling in me even if I wanted to and before long, I was flying over the edge as Riddick finally released my other hand and grabbed my hip as his picked up his thrusts. It seemed he didn't have much longer when he finally released my hair and pulled me up against him as he kept pounding away. I whimpered because his mouth was on my new mark he made as his hands were busy gripping my breast.

Soon his teeth latched back onto my neck as he shoved himself as far in as he could as his arms gripped me tightly. I felt his seed pull in my womb only to dribble down my legs and onto the ground. I sagged in his arms as he sat back, still impaled on him. Riddick pulled his teeth free as he licked the blood off the wound. I shivered even though the sun was shining because of the after effects of our mating. All to soon, Riddick pulled out of me and helped me to stand, pulling up my pants.

Before he could even pull his own up, I launched myself into his arms and latched my own teeth into his neck. He gasped as his arms wrapped around me tightly, holding me in place. I smiled as I pulled a mouth full of his blood, swallowed then pulled my teeth free and licked the wound to seal it. When I pulled back, Riddick crushed my mouth with his as his tongue fought for entrance. I shivered in happiness as he finally pulled back, his silver eyes shining down at me.

"Happy?" He rumbled as he placed me back on my feet.

I felt a purr coming from my chest. "Very."

"Good," Riddick kissed my forehead before he pulled his pants up and retied them. "Now we need to call for a ride."

I just nodded as I let Riddick scoop me up in his arms and take off towards the Merc outpost. I couldn't believe he had chased me as far as he did because I could already see the outpost in the distance.

Author Note – I'm sorry that its been a while since I posted but here is the next chapter. My muse is not playing fair with jumping from one subject to the other. GRRRRR... Now, how do you, my readers, like how things have progressed.

For my Riddick fans, how do you think I interrogated Bella and Aiden into Riddick 3?

For my twilight fans, how do you like how Bella still remembered Edward yet knew that it was time to let him go.

For both, how do you think things will go? Dahl and Jasper are on their way but will they be the only ones? Til the next chapter, keep reading and reviewing...
