Demetri
I was in the feeding chamber two days later and my phone rang. I answered the call and my stomach dropped.
I got Bella to the showers where Jane was still helping her. When they came back out I directed them both up to the throne room. On the way there I explained what was going on to them.
Bella smiled in a way that sent chills down my spine.
I put my hand on her back and led her up to the throne room.
"Stay calm," I reminded Bella as we walked in.
"...my mate. I want her back I demand you return her to me. She's mine." Edward was shouting as we walked in.
Bella didn't look at Edward as we walked in and up to the thrones.
"Masters." we both said.
I looked back at the Cullens and they grimaced at her form of address. I almost laughed.
Edward was still bellowing. "She's my mate, Mine. I want her back now."
Felix was rolling his eyes. Jane was almost laughing. Renita looked nervous.
"I want her back I demand..." Edward bellowed.
"Dear ones. The Cullens seem to think you are here against your will and are here to collect you."
"She's mine and I want her now," Edward shouted.
"I am not a dog or a pet. I am here of my own volition and I have no need to be collected, or even speak to them ever again. Except for Jasper. I have something to say to him."
"I demand you return her to me..."
"Young one," Aro started but Edward broke and ghosted toward her.
She didn't react by jumping at him or lunging or doing anything I expected. Instead, she simply shot out her hand, and Edward was stopped in midair and surrounded by a light blue bubble.
"Magnificent Isabella," Aro exclaimed.
She stayed eerily calm. I was in shock. There was no way I would be able to keep her out of the guard now. Aro would insist. A mental and physical shield. Aro had searched for one for centuries.
"What is the law regarding mates Master Marcus."
"To come between them is death of course."
"And who is my mate, Master Marcus."
"Your Demetri, of course," Marcus said.
"Then someone shut him up please?" Bella begged.
Edward was still bellowing. "Let me down. I demand you return to me you're mine. Mine!"
The bubble around him disappeared and Edward was dropped on his face.
Jasper and Emmett barked a laugh and Aro bellowed "Silence."
Edward finally fell quiet.
Bella turned around and faced Aro.
"You had something to say to Jasper young one?"
"Yes Master, May I?"
"You may dear."
I put my hand on Bella's back just in case she lunged as she turned.
Jasper met her gaze fearfully.
"Jasper, lunging at me wasn't your fault. I never blamed you. I had cut myself and I was Edwards singer. You couldn't have resisted. No empath could have resisted. You feel all of their blood-lust don't you."
Jasper only nodded his mouth hanging open a little.
"If you need to hear it I forgive you but truly there was nothing to forgive," Bella said. She sighed seemed to steady herself and met the eyes of the rest of the Cullens. Bella turned around. I turned with her. "That is all Masters."
"Very well Bella."
"She's Mine," Edward shouted and lunged at her again. Felix was ready this time and caught him mid-air. He had him in a headlock and was holding him tightly.
"Masters I request that Edward be punished for attempting to come between me and my mate."
"Surely losing you is enough young Bella," Aro said.
"Aro," Caius shouted. "You heard the boy he'll never stop."
As if to prove the point Edward started shouting "Mine! Mine! She's mine and I will get her back she's my mate."
"In this case, I happen to agree with Caius," Marcus noted.
Edward was still shouting loudly. He seemed insane.
I didn't know what to do. I knew Aro wouldn't punish him. How did I protect my Bella?
"Hmm," Aro said thoughtfully. "Edward will be jailed until I see fit to release him. I think a hundred years will be sufficient. Felix,"
Felix began to drag Edward away. Carlisle and Esme gasped. I almost did. He punished them.
"Aro, surely we can..." Carlisle started negotiating.
"You're dismissed young ones," Aro said to Bella and I.
"Thank you, Master." Bella and I said.
I put my hand on Bella's back and led her quickly from the room. When the throne room door closed behind us Bella burst out into sobs. "Why can't they just leave me alone? They abandoned me."
I put my arms around her quickly and pulled her close. She sobbed quietly. I began stroking her back trying to calm her.
"Shhh, little one," I told her. "I'll protect you from them. They'll never hurt you. I won't allow it. Breathe Bella, I got you." I muttered soothing nonsense until she started to calm in my arms. Just as I had her almost ready to go upstairs the door behind us opened. Out walked the Cullens.
Carlisle approached Bella quickly I pushed her behind me. "Don't...move...closer Carlisle," I said and he stopped suddenly.
"Bella you have to fix this injustice. Edward is jailed!"
Bella sighed. "Yes Carlisle he is and it's horribly unfair."
"Yes it is Bella surely you must see..."
"You misunderstand!" Bella shouted and Carlisle silenced. Bella continued. "It's horribly unfair cause he should have been killed. Do you want me to go fix the problem?"
"What happened to you?" Esme asked.
Bella's voice was so cold it gave me shivers. "You did. You said you loved me. You called me daughter. You acted like you cared. Then you left and Edward dumped me in the woods. Now stay out of my life. Don't look at my future. Don't talk to me. Don't come around me. Stay out of my LIFE!" Bella shouted.
"Now Bella." Carlisle started.
"She's a newborn Carlisle and I won't stop her," I informed Carlisle.
"Neither will I," Jasper agreed.
"Jasper this is your Family!" Carlisle exclaimed.
"Bella is right. What we did to her was wrong. I suggest you heed her warning and leave her the hell alone. Emmett and I told you at the time it was wrong and I haven't changed my mind."
"Language Jasper." Esme huffed.
Jane and Felix exited the throne room. Felix said, "You were told not to talk to Bella, Carlisle I suggest you follow that order. Or should I inform Aro you are disobeying...again."
Carlisle glared at Felix you just smirked.
Carlisle turned around scowled at Bella and left. Jasper muttered, "Sorry Bella," as he walked by.
Felix turned and went back into the throne room. Jane stayed standing beside me watching Carlisle leave.
"What did you ever see in any of them."
"I don't know," Bella admitted. "I think I was dazzled."
When Carlisle had time to leave the building Jane went back into the throne room.
Bella
I was exhausted and jittery after the confrontation with the Cullens. "Can we go up to our rooms for a while? I feel...off."
"Of course Bella. You handled that exceedingly well."
We walked up the stairs and went to our rooms. "What would you like to do?" Demetri asked me.
"I want to sleep, or pretend to sleep."
"Very well my love this way."
I was guided into the bedroom and climbed onto the bed. Demetri climbed in beside me and I put my head on his shoulder and sighed as he put his arms around me and pulled me closer. I breathed deeply and pretended to sleep with all my might. After a while, I had reached almost a meditative trance. We laid there for hours and the tension seemed to slide away
As time passed my mood seemed to settle and I leaned over and kissed Demetri. He reacted fiercely, kissing me back and making my toes curl. I moaned.
"My Bella, are you ready to be mine completely?"
I moaned again and realized surprisingly that I was.
"Yes Demetri, Please make me yours."
Demetri took my shirt off gently. I slid off my pants. By the time I looked back up Demetri was standing and gloriously naked.
I reached up and touched his chiseled chest tentatively. He climbed back into bed and gave me another toe-curling kiss. His lips moved back to my neck and he licked and nipped my neck. Another moan escaped me.
He ran his hand over my body stopping at my breasts. He lowered his mouth to my left nipple and trailed his hand between my legs
He moved to my right nipple and my legs fell open. His fingers penetrated me and I gasped then groaned. It felt wickedly delicious.
His fingers stroked and plunged and rubbed and I writhed.
I felt momentarily shy as Demetri knelt between my legs. "Relax Bella." He said he spread my legs wider and lowered his head to my wet center. The feel of his tongue on me caused a loud moan. "Yes." I sighed.
His fingers plunged inside me and he sucked on my nub. I called out as I saw heaven for the first time. Demetri murmured, "That's one."
And went back to sucking on my nub and fingering me with amazing talent.
He moved back up and kissed my lips and I tasted myself on his lips. It was oddly titillating. I felt the head of his impressive erection against my opening. "Ready," He asked me.
I nodded nervously.
He plunged into me, tearing my barrier. I cried out. "Sh" he murmured. "Tell me when I can move."
I nodded and he began to move inside me. He plunged into me and I met each thrust. I wrapped my legs around his waist and we began to move in an age-old rhythm. It wasn't long and my muscles clenched and milked him. He moaned in my ear and that excited me even more.
"Two," he said and started pounding into me long hard, and deep. I couldn't keep up with the sensations my body was experiencing. I kept my gaze locked on Demetri's and just enjoyed the sensations. I moaned, writhed, wiggled, and moved with Demetri's frenzied thrusts. This orgasm built strongly and I cried out Demetri's name over and over.
He plunged all the way into me and I could feel him emptying himself. I cried out Demetri's name loud and long. He bit down on my neck and I could feel his venom pumping into me. It sent me into one final orgasm and him into a frenzied rhythm. When we were still and I was panting he purred and licked my neck closing the wound. Leaving me marked as his mate forever.
I was his.
