Chapter 7

Demetri POV

The moment she whispered his name his head snapped towards her and his eyes blackened. He took a deep breath of her scent and the idiot must have forgotten where he was because he actually thought he could get past us. He leaped off the ground towards Bella, I saw Caius move from his seat and pull Bella behind him and Aro on the throne, but before Laurent could get even a foot from where she stood I close lined his ass and pinned him to the ground with my foot.

"You must be out of your fucking mind if you think I'd let you get anywhere near my mate asshole." I growled down to him and Felix hauled his ass off the ground and held him kneeling on the ground in front of me by his dreadlocks.

"What? I don't understand. I thought she was the Cullen boy's mate?" he stuttered and I shook my head at him.

"Nope. My mate. And you'd do well to keep that in mind before trying to get at her again." I hissed and he nodded but I did noticed how his eyes kept darting from me to where Bella was still standing Between Aro and Caius.

"She still smells as good as I remembered." He commented wishfully and I growled.

"Jane." I ordered.

"Of course." She replied before locking eyes with the fucker. I watched in morbid fascination as I always did as he screamed in pain, begging for it to stop.

"So that's what her power does?" Bella whispered watching.

"Yes she creates immense pain." Aro whispered pain. Waving my hand Jane stopped the pain, leaving him panting on the ground.

"Piccolo how exactly do you know this Vampire?" I turned and ask her, she gave me a sexy smile before replying.

"He was with James and Victoria when they came across us back in forks a few months ago. He left not wanting anything to do with James plan and Carlisle sent him to live with their friends in Denali. I haven't seen or heard of him since." She told me and I nodded.

"So, here is my issue with you. We find you hanging around forks where my mate use to reside. This leads me to believe that you were up to know good. Why were you there and what would you have done if she was still living there?" I ask him. At first he clamped his mouth shut and refused to answer.

"Jane." I said again and again he screamed out in pain.

"Please. Ok." He yelled and I waved for Jane to stop. I was in my element here. Yes the masters were in charge around here but I was head of the guard and they normally let me control the interrogation. They didn't like getting their hands dirty if they could avoid it. Aro would always read our victims at the end to see if there was anything else they were hiding before we ended them.

"Well?" I ask impatiently, slapping him across the face as he lay panting on the ground.

"I was sent to Forks to see if the human was still there." He told me.

"By whom? The Cullen's?" I ask and he shook his head.

"No. Victoria." He said and I nodded.

"Why did she want to you scope out my human?" I ask and I could tell he was shaking in fear. Pathetic excuse for a Vampire.

"She…um." He said and I knew he didn't want to give any info to us but he had another thing coming if he thought that shit would fly here.

"Your loyalty to this red headed bitch is going to get you killed. I suggest you give me what I want and quickly, I'm not a patient man." I hissed. Glancing over towards my human I wanted to see what her reaction was to seeing me like this. To my surprise when I looked into her eyes I was shocked to see her looking back at me with lust swirling in the brown depths. She also gave me a fabulous blush when I winked at her.

Turning back to my subject I saw he had decided to heed my warning.

"She sent me to Forks to try and snatch the Human for her. She couldn't get around the wolves. She thought the Seer would be watching out for her but not me. She wants the human. She plans to torture then kill her. Mate for a mate." He said, a deep menacing growl escaped my chest at the thought of anyone daring to try and harm my Bella.

"If I may?" Aro said standing and walking over towards Laurent. Holding out his hand he reluctantly with a hard nudge from me placed his hand within Aro's. Aro closed his eyes for a moment before dropping his hand with a sneer.

"He was planning to help his old friend Victoria with Isabella's torture in hopes of being able to taste her sweet blood. He had grown tired of life as an animal drinker. When he saw that you seem to be no longer living in Forks he planned to drain your father in anger before heading back to meet with the red head and giving his report, though we stopped him before that could happen. He doesn't know anything of what she may plan to do now though as she too is trying to stay out of the seer's radar now that Laurent has told her how all their gifts work. He hasn't seen the Cullen's since that initial meeting but he knows there Alaskan location due to the Vampire he's been fucking, Irina is her name. Friends with the Cullen's. Where Eleazar now lives. They too knew about Bella but left it to the Cullen's to handle. You've been a very bad Vampire my friend. And for one as old as you, you should know better." Aro told him tisking and my anger had reached an all-time high. He was going to die. The look of horror on my mate's face at what Aro's reviled about him wanting to kill her father sealed his fate.

"But she's just a human. She's means nothing." Laurent argued which was the wrong thing to say to me.

With a loud growl I ripped him off the floor from Felix's grasp by the neck, spun him around, and kicked him hard in the back causing him to drop back to his knees in front of the throne where Bella was watching. Standing behind him with one hand on this head and the other around his neck I looked to my human, eyes black with anger.

"She is not just any human, but my human, my mate. She means more than your own life to me and is also going to be the decider of your pathetic fate." I hissed in his ear.

"Tesoro. Your call." I told her. I saw her pause to think of what she wanted. Everyone in the room was waiting to see what she would decide, it would determine in their minds how see would fit in with the guard. But I knew my mate. I knew she was more like me than others gave her credit for.

"Kill him." She said with a spark of blood lust in her eyes. Oh yes my mate would fit in very nicely, I thought as I snapped the head off the asshole that dared to even think of harming my human.
