Chapter 12 – Lesson in Obedience + Alliances

Bella's POV

It felt like my body was broken and I slowly opened my eyes to rapidly close them again as the sunlight seemed to scorch and sting my brain. Caius had let his monster out to play and it had, in all its pent up lust, enjoyed itself at my expense. I was lying on my back trying to assess the damage and slowly tried to sit up. As soon as I did I was helped up by a gentle pair of hands.

"Be still, I wish to help you" Caius softly whispered. I was astonished at the kindness in his voice. He then carefully picked me up and brought me to the bathroom holding me to his chest as he lowered himself into the bath.

At first the water magnified my pain and as it touched every open wound I tried to pry myself from his embrace. He would not allow it saying "I need to heal your wounds, now you know why I loathe humans; they are such a fragile species"

"Why don't you just let me die?" I moaned

"That would not serve my purpose" he answered "Anyway with the help of my blood and some ointments you will soon be better".

"To be ready for you when you wish to let yourself go?" I moaned.

"Yes, I guess you could say that, as your body and mind are mine" he arrogantly replied.

"I can't survive this, only a couple of days ago I was a virgin now my body has been used in so many ways it has aged ten years" I whimpered.

He smirked "Didn't you realize that bonding with a vampire was different than bonding with a human. We are part animal. I have lived over a thousand years and my tastes in sex have developed as such."

"I think that is an understatement" I lamented

"Do not worry, once you have become one of us you will be able to keep up and in time even like our ways" He explained.

"I can't imagine that ever happening" I said while deciding that once I was a newborn I wouldn't take this crap; I would get my sweet revenge.

He must have seen the hatred in my eyes because he then began to laugh saying "That's the spirit! As I said earlier, bedroom battles are my favorite and by the look in your eyes I will soon be enjoying many. But for now you need to take my blood" and having said this he opened his pulse and put it to my mouth.

At first I refused but feeling the pressure of his other arm and the deep growl in his throat I decided that this would only make him angry and make the animal surface. While I drank the wound seemed to close so he opened it up again for second time saying "take deep pulls Isabella!" and as I did I felt his fangs bite into my neck and heard his cries of ecstasy as he sucked a couple of mouths full. He then slowly and lavishly licked the wounds.

"Your blood is exquisite my love it is like opium and I could easily get addicted to it. I only hope that your transformation will not change the taste".

As his blood slowly started my healing process he stepped out of the bath with me still in his arms and brought me back to my bed. He then picked up a bottle of lotion slowly rubbing it into my body. He began with my legs and arms and I wondered why the pain was not so fierce so I asked "What happened to my wounds? They don't sting anymore" at this he laughed saying "we have had a blood exchange therefore they can heal swiftly".

Once he was finished he turned his attention to my torso and I pulled away saying "Please let me do the rest". He ignored my plea and slowly began to pour the lotion onto my breasts. He then laid the bottle down and gently began to massage my flesh with both hands. He seemed to be an expert in this field as the pain slowly gave way to a different burning sensation, one that seemed to melt my very core. He circled my nipples and lowered his mouth to tenderly suckle on one as his other hand skillfully entertained the other. He then looked into my eyes and to my relief I saw Caius and not his monster.

His hand slowly moved from my breast to my core as he tested my entrance. Only an hour ago my body had been broken and now with Caius's ministrations my body was asking for a second round as he primed it with his fingers. He then unceremoniously turned me around and put me on my knees and pushing my chest down towards the bed in a form of submission, he entered. I complied hoping not to aggravate him and Caius said "that's right my Isabella, you will obey me". He then moved his lithe fingers on my clit and as he did I felt the heat build and started to move my hips in tempo with his thrusts. "Good girl" he slurred and before I knew it I screamed, hitting my climax. Not even a second later the rhythm of my convulsions took him over the edge. He then curled his body around me and said "you are learning quickly my dear"

Edward's POV

As Jacob and I drove up I saw Sam standing in the field surrounded by his tribe members. When I stopped the car Jacob stepped out but I waited, respecting the rights of the tribe and their land. After Jacob spoke to him, Sam looked at me and ushered me to join them. I quickly walked towards the group and they opened their circle to allow me to go to Sam. Sam looked at me and said "I hear that you wish to help us destroy Victoria. Why?"

"Out of respect for the dead" I swiftly replied "Bella is gone but I wish to help protect the ones she loved." After a moment's pause I added "I realize that you have no affection for vampires and considering your history I can't blame you, most of them are very dangerous. My family and I are different than our sort in that we do not take human lives and therefore we are not loved by our sort either. That is why and how this vendetta of Victoria began."

"Bold words but we still have our doubts. What happened to Bella?" asked Sam.

"As I said to Jacob, she died in a car accident in Italy. If that were not the case I wouldn't be here, I would be at her side."

They all looked towards one another and then to Jacob and Sam seemingly convinced by my lie.

"Now I have something else to say" I hesitated "There is an extra complication"

"What complication?"

"We, my family and I, are soon getting a visitor and that visitor has heard of Victoria's actions. Her actions seem to have caught the attention of our lawmakers and if she is not terminated within a week they will be sending someone to help us do so." They all began to mumble their protests but I was able to regain their attention by waving my hands and then continued "My family and I are powerless to stop them so it is important that we terminate her before our visitor comes. Only then can we avoid them having any knowledge of your tribe".

Seeing their shocked faces I looked at Sam "I know you are trying your best to destroy her, will you allow me to help you?" I asked.

All of a sudden I heard the arrival of a car and the tribe was on the alert, a couple of the young ones fazing into wolves.

I turned my head to look, only to see my family's car arrive with everyone in it. I sighed knowing that I should have expected this.

I held my arms up – one towards my family and one towards the tribe trying to get their attention before this situation escalated. I turned my face towards Sam saying "They wish to help and because we have brought this problem to Forks we are to blame. They and I only desire to help you solve this" I then asked "Sam, will you allow them on your land?"

Sam hesitated but then nodded his head and I motioned to my family to come to us. They slowly walked towards us and my father respectfully asked permission for my family to join our group and again Sam solemnly nodded his head.

My father came towards me and said "I know why you have joined forces with the tribe and you are right to help keep them out of Dimitri's radar." He then turned to Sam and asked "Will you allow my family and I to join forces with your group as we both have the same mission? I promise you that we only wish well for you and your people."
