I woke up in the late morning and I remembered that I had a meeting, so I was late. I took a shower quickly and I heard Severus swearing as he got dressed. When I entered our room, he was buttoning his trousers but he looked at me and smirked.

"Our dear husband should remember that we need to sleep," Severus said and I chuckled.

"I did not hear you complaining last night," I said and he glared at me.

"Well, you know that to see you wearing your green snickers would do that to me," He said helping me to close my dress.

"I know, that's why I wore it," I said kissing him softly, "Come, we are late."

We walked to the library and we saw our friends waiting for us. Bella was talking with a very charming Tom while Sirius sulked on the side. I looked at him and he nodded at Tom who was smiling at very happy Bella. I sat with them and I was shocked to hear that they were talking about their mates.

"Felix took me to a restaurant last night; he was so nice," Tom said and Bella chuckled.

"I still remember them telling me about how heartless you were," Bella said and Tom sighed.

"I will have to do something to apologize," Tom said and I hugged him. He became a very different person after he understood that he wasn't alone. We learned about his life and how he never had a person to show him about love.

"We are here to help you," I said and Sirius groaned. "Are you ok?"

"I spent my early life in a very abusive house because they believe what Tom was telling them and is difficult for me to see that he was mistaken. We lost so many lives in this war that could be prevented if somebody would have taken care of him as a child." Sirius said and Tom looked away. "I can understand you but I lost my best friends in this war because of you."

"I'm sorry," Tom said and closed his eyes.

"We have to focus on the future and how to prevent another dark lord to try to make problems again," Severus said and we nodded. "Now, we need to study for our change."

"You are right," Bella said. "Marcus gave me this for us. It talks about the change itself."

"Good, could you read please?" I asked and she nodded.

"To start the process, the vampire must inoculate enough venom in the system of the human to change it . We usually advise using the big arteries of the neck and the arms. In some cases, when the human is close to death, the vampire could use also the arteries of the legs and an injection into the heart," Bella read. "The process will take three days more or less and it will be advisable to do it in the dungeons as the newborn could be dangerous. Also, some bagged blood could be used as the newborn will be thirsty and unstable but to give him or her some blood could stabilize their humor until a feeding could take place."

"Jane told me that they prepared some room on the dungeons but they don't know yet if we are changing together or if we are doing one every month," Sirius said. "What about the change?"

"After the venom will start to mix with the blood, the person changing will feel as if liquid fire was traveling through the blood vessels," Bella read and we gasped. I felt Severus's arms around me and I leaned on his chest. "Tha pain will be gradual and the peak would arrive at the end of the change when the heart will stop beating."

"Is there some ways to help with the burn?" Tom asked softly.

"The burn will be great and sometimes the presence of the human's mate will help. Also, Argon the Great wrote on his memories that baths with cold water and ice could help," Bella read.

"So we could try this," I said and they nodded.

"What about reading some of the books that we found in the library until it's time for lunch?" Severus asked and we nodded.

Over the next hours, I sat on my favorite chair of the library, near the window and I read about the rules of the coven. There were many types of rules, some for feeding, some for social behavior, some for interacting with the guest that came for advice and some which were for the mate of the kings. I started on this chapter and I saw that I would have to stay closed in the Tower and I was not sure if that was the kind of life that I wanted to lead. I was worried until I remembered a talk that I had with my mates when I discovered our triad and I relaxed.

I looked at Severus as he was reading a book while writing on a parchment. He had many books around him and I remembered that Aro told me that he had to start sitting with them on the trials so Severus had a lot to learn about the laws.

When noon arrived, the door opened and our mates entered the library with many trails full of food and drinks. Aro came to my side and kissed my head before calling Severus to our side. The table was full of people and we talked about everything we learned in the morning. It was interesting to see how easier was to understand the change when somebody who already passed through it recalled how they felt.

Bella called me to her favorite coach and I sat by her side. She looked nervous and I could guess what happened. I smiled at her and she blushed.

"Tell me, what is bothering you,' I said and she nodded.

"I think that Marcus is holding on the claim because he is scared of hurting me," Bella said softly and I sighed.

"He lost his wife many centuries ago and he never took a lover so he is afraid of hurting you," I said and she groaned.

"Edward never wanted to go far because he was afraid of hurting me, now Marcus is holding on me because of the same thing, or maybe it's because I'm not enough beautiful for them." She said softly and I shook my head. This beautiful girl was hurting because she believed that her mate did not think that she was beautiful. I knew that Marcus wanted to claim her but wanted to give her time to get used to him.

"Did you talk with him?" I asked and she shook her head. "You spent the last ten days waiting for him to make the first move but he is giving you time. You need to show him that you are ready."

"Are you telling me that he is waiting for a sign?" Bella asked and I nodded. "Good to know."

Bella stood and took a long breath before walking to Marcus's side and muttered something to his ear shocking all the vampires in the room. Marcus looked at her with black eyes and they were gone a second later.

"What did you tell her?" Aro asked.

"I told her that he was waiting for a sign and she sent it," I said and everybody laughed.

"She just told him that or he was claiming her or she was going to get off by herself again," Jane said laughing.

"I just won a week in the library alone, hmmm," I muttered and Sirius laughed at the frowns on Severus and Aro' faces.
