OMG! My story has reached 13k views! I'm so happy! Thank you guys for your support!
All my stories are unbeta-ed so every mistake is mine!
In this chapter, we'll get a glimpse on what everybody thinks of Bella, and viceversa. Please pardon the multiple and maybe confusing POVs, they were needed in this chapter. In the other ones I'll do my best to keep one POV per chapter, two POVs at most!
Enjoy!
CAIUS POV
The human surprised me.
Her ferociousness and anger are something I didn't anticipate. I still don't understand why Aro requested her presence here, but maybe she will be useful in some minuscule way.
Bringing a human in the South with us is not an idea I think will benefit us in a way that we can win, but alas I was outvoted.
Despite how clever the human might be, she is still too weak to fight with us, and her brain is less evolved than ours, so I truly can't see the point in taking her with us. She might have been able to plan an escape plan for that other tracker—James—but Maria is no laughing matter. She is immune to all mental gifts, but it won't be useful if she cannot project that immunity over others.
"What has you so deep in thought, brother?" I hear Aro ask me.
I shake my head, "I'm still wondering why you requested her presence here. The human won't be able to help us."
He laughs, "How blind you are, brother Caius. Her mind is creative and clever, she has a different point of view. When young Cullen came here asking for death I looked into his mind and I saw that, despite our many differences, sometimes we act just like humans would. Who better than a human to foresee these kind of actions?"
"She is also quite beautiful. She has already ensnared many of the Guard. Did you hear Major Whitlock's warning words?" Marcus interjects.
I study him as he says that. It has been centuries since he last showed any emotions, and now here he is, smiling and with his eyes sparkling. Can it be that the human caused this changes?
"Ah, yes. Such a beauty she is! She was already very pretty the first time she came here, but now she is a blooming flower in all its splendour. The rooms we assigned her suit her magnificently" Aro sighs dreamily.
"They do, indeed. She looks like a winter goddess in those rooms. I still cannot fathom why you invited her here, Aro" I say.
"Ah, my brother. I trust that she will be able to help us defeat that she-devil. Furthermore, I'm positive she will bring… spice, to our coven. Don't you think, brother Marcus?" Aro asks, smiling brightly as we enter our private quarters.
"Yes, I do think so. Felix has already developed a bond of friendship with her, and Demetri is on the path to do the same. Many unmated males—and even some females—lust after her, as Major Whitlock confirmed, but I'm quite sure that that attraction will soon turn into affection in the form of friendship and familiarity."
"I truly hope so. It wouldn't be beneficial for the mission to have our guards distracted by her body" I grunt.
My brothers laugh heartily—even Marcus. "Don't worry. The Major will keep everyone in line, as will you. And I'm quite certain Isabella will be able to fend for herself" Aro says, before slipping into his chambers to join his mate.
Marcus nods to me and slips into his own chambers, probably to read, since he lost his mate long ago. I sigh and walk into my own chambers, ready to lose myself into my mate for a few hours.
DEMETRI POV
As I bid goodbye to Felix and Alec, before speeding toward my chambers, I think about Bella.
She sure changed a lot. Not only physically, but also her attitude changed. She is more woman now, more warrior.
I open and close the door to my chambers, and see that Gianna is asleep, nursing her broken wrist in her other hand. I sneer. The bitch though she could use Marcus to climb our society and become Queen. Ha. As if she could ever entice one of our kind. She doesn't even taste all that good. The only thing she's good for is being a plaything, but I will dispose of her before we go in the South, or leave her to be eaten by some other guard.
Some might think it's too harsh, but she should be glad she didn't fall into Caius' hands. Then she would have been screaming non-stop.
I snarl and shake her body. She immediately wakes up and locks eyes with me. She's so stupid: she still hasn't realised that I—like every other vampire—can enthral her to make her feel lust and attraction toward me. Obviously that soon turns into pain once I'm buried in her cunt.
Her green eyes—framed by black bruises—widen, and she starts breathing more shallowly. I can smell her arousal pool in her legs, and I smirk.
The fun is about to begin.
Without waiting for her to get completely wet, I bury my cock in her pussy. She screams, in pleasure or pain I don't care. I set a punishing rhythm, and she soon starts begging for me to stop.
I start to tune her out. My movements are mechanical, and I can tell I'll last a long ass time—a testament to how bad she is in bed. I decide to think about the recent events to take my mind off this ridiculous fuck—another testament to how unsatisfying this is.
Bella Swan is definitely an interesting human, and even the protectiveness of the Major towards her is another thing to carefully consider. Granted, she is a beautiful and hugely desirable woman, but I think I'll stick to being friends for now. I don't want to have to face the Major. Besides, I think Bella will be a great friend. She seems funny.
JANE POV
I knock on Heidi's door just as she is putting on blue mascara, as I see when she opens. I also see that she has left her bathrobe on the bed, so that her assets show. She looks disappointed to see me. She was probably expecting some horny male. She still doesn't know I will reward her just as much as a male would.
"What do you want?" she says.
I elbow my way in her room and sneer, "For starters, I want you to cover yourself. Then I have a proposition for you. Regarding Isabella Swan" she spits the name.
Her interest is piqued, and I can see her quickly put on her fuchsia robe again, covering herself. She sits on her bed, and motions for me to speak.
"Isabella Swan has been given the Winter Rooms" I begin, and her jaw drops.
"What?! How is that possible? She's just a puny human!" she gasps.
"I know, and I agree with you. Those rooms should be mine" I snarl, "But instead, she has them. She stole them from me."
Then I look at her dead in the eye. "I want them back. And I want her gone" I hiss, "Isabella Swan is no more than a nuisance, and I want her blood to stain the floor once and for all."
"Then we are on the same page. I hate her, too. She is stealing my men" she says. Yeah, as if her men have ever been hers, but whatever. This way, she is easier to manipulate.
"Your men are all concentrated on her. She is beautiful, but she's just a human. We can easily take her out. But we must do so after she returns from the mission. I am going to the South with her" I say, "So I'll personally ensure that an.. incident, happens, but I need you to prepare the guards to play into my hands. I want them to be horny when we leave. A human wouldn't be able to sustain vampire sexual intercourse, so we just need to play our cards carefully and ensure that a guards slips, and fucks her to death."
She smiles cruelly, "Consider it done. The guards will have one hell of a boner, trust me."
I smile back, and step closer to her, letting my eyes darken in lust. Yeah, I am bisexual, and while I never desired Heidi, to have her believe that I sexually need her and find her attractive might help my plan. Besides, it's been a long time since I last enjoyed myself.
"Well, well… someone needs a reward" I purr sensually, removing my shoes and black stockings. Heidi follows my movements and I can smell her arousal. She leans back on her elbows, enjoying the show I put on for her.
I remove my dress and undergarments, leaving myself naked in front of her. Then I kneel on the bed, leaning over so that I can slide the bathrobe off her body.
We blissfully lose ourselves in each other for a couple of hours.
As I lie on the bed, looking at the ceiling while she pleasures me with her mouth, I moan, and think about how to destroy that bitch Swan. I smile sadistically and push Heidi's head more firmly between my legs, leaning up to fiddle with her nipples.
Isabella Swan will die.
BELLA POV
When I wake up, I immediately realise I am not in my bed. It takes me a moment to remember everything that happened yesterday and the day before.
I yawn and stretch my back, hearing some bones creak back into place. I get out of bed and look around. I can't see Jasper, so he's probably in his room. I make a quick pit stop at the bathroom, and then I walk back into the huge walk-in wardrobe that would make Alice's panties wet.
This time I take my time studying every small corner of it. It's a big rectangular space, with many shelves and a lot more clothes and shoes and everything. The left wall is completely occupied by many black dresses and clothes; the right one houses many clothes of varying colours, the main ones being every possible shade of red, white and green, like the Italian flag. The wall in front of me is occupied by a massive mirror and a couple of dressers. I open the drawers and I see that they are filled with jewels and accessories of every kind, along with a couple of drawers that hold my underwear. The wall behind me has—along with the door—several shelves full of every imaginable kind of shoe, from flats to sky-high heels.
Everything is lit up by countless led lights that make everything shine.
I decide to keep it simple, and head for the black sector, grabbing a halter neck sleeveless shirt. Then I grab a pair of forest green palazzo pants. I quickly put them on and grab a pair of black ballerinas to go with the look. I brush my hair and pin it with a hairpin I find in the drawer beside the mirror. It's a simple silver pin, shaped like a leaf.
When I come out of the wardrobe I see Jasper sitting on the sofa, with a tray of food in his hands.
"I love you" I groan, immediately realising how hungry I am. I dive for the food as Jasper chuckles.
"Glad to hear that, darlin'. The fam says hi, and that everthin' is fine. By the way—Bella, don't choke yerself, the food isn't gonna disappear" he laughs.
I look up and see him trying to hold in another chuckle. "I can't help it. This is too delicious!" I say, stuffing another piece of bread, butter and honey in my mouth.
He finally caves in and breaks down into a full belly laugh. I smile, too, seeing him so carefree and happy. I also noticed lately that he has been talking more with his southern accent that usual. I love his southern accent.
As I gobble down the last bites of my breakfast, finishing with the fresh juice, I ask "So, what do we do today? Do we start training? Do we ask the Kings for maps to study the territory? Do we—"
"Hey, sugar! Calm down! If ya fire questions at me like that, how can I answer?" he chuckles, patting my head. "Yeah, we'll ask for some maps and then, after ya have memorised the structure of the territory, we'll train. It might not be today, or even tomorrow, but I'll do my best to train ya."
I smile brightly "Thank you, Jazz! Now, let me brush my teeth and then we'll go ask for the maps!"
Excited, I jump up and run to the bathroom, hearing Jasper laughter behind me.
I brush my teeth in record time and use mouthwash. I check my appearance and bolt outside. The sooner I learn the configuration of the territory, the sooner I'll train and the sooner we'll kill that bitch Maria. As I reach the couch, I can see that Jasper's still sitting. "Well, aren't you coming?"
He chuckles and gets up. However he is too slow for my liking, so I grab his muscular arm—I never noticed how muscled he is!—and drag him outside.
"Let's go! Move your southern ass, I need to learn!"
Please, review and tell me what you think about this chapter!
