July 13th
The morning sun shinning through the small window in the room lit up the bedroom. If one was to walk into the bedroom, they would see a beautiful couple sleeping soundly, but that's only to the eyes. Bella eyes fluttered awake has the sunlight danced across her eyelids. When she tried to move her hand to wipe her the sleep out of her eyes, she found that she could not move her hand. Panicking Bella's eyes flew up and gasped at the sight of the sleeping man beside her. She noticed how her leg was thrown over his legs and how she was resting her head on his chest, and how she had her arm wrapped around his midsection and that he was holding her hand. She tried to pull her hand away from, because she was beginning to panic, but it would see that he tightened his hold on her small hand. Bella did not know what to do; the last time that she woke up to sleeping beside him was when they shared that intimate moment or moments. She tried to move again, but he would not let her go. Some how the first thing to race through her mind was if they had repeated what they had done before. She looked down at what she was wearing and wanted to scream, something about her outfit brought back what had happen the night before. She was beyond pissed at Edward, before thinking she climbed over top of him. She was sitting on him, with her free hand placed on his chest, creeping closer to his neck. She wondered if she could kill him by just choking him. She could not believe that he had shoved that potion or whatever it was down her throat.
Edward could feel someone touching him; he was barely sleeping and knew that Bella had been a wake for a few minutes. Slowly opening his eyes he saw his beautiful mate sitting on top of him with one of her hands pushing at his neck. He could tell that she was mad and that if looks could kill, he would be dead. He thought that she could not look any more beautiful than she was at that point. With her all a mess and how his shirt did not hide the fact that she was not wearing a bra. He wanted to reach up and touch her lovely breasts, but knew that would get him smacked, so he did something better.
"Morning Princess," He said with a smirk. He figured if he could not touch her, he would make her madder, by just talking to her. "How are you this morning?" He could hear how her heart rate picked up and how she took a deep breath of air before talking.
"Morning Edward…want to explain to me what I am doing sleeping beside you or why you gave me that thing last night." She said with venom in her voice.
"You needed to sleep." He spoke calmly.
"I was not ready to sleep," She bit out. "I know when I should sleep and should not…you had no right," She hissed. "I trusted you again…one step forward…and three steps back," Bella said while trying to pull her hand back away from him, but he was not letting go. "Isn't that way they say…that seems to be true for us." Bella said while still trying to get him to let her hand. "For goodness sake…let my hand go Edward." Bella yelled. She pulled at her hand again, but he pulled on it, smirking up at her.
"And if I don't?" He questioned.
"I am not in the mood for your shit today…let my hand go," Bella growled. "You had no right to give me that thing…and why the hell am I dressed this way…actually just tell me what hell gave you the right go against me." Bella wanted to scream, but she managed to say it calmly. Again she tried to pull her hand from his tight grip, but he was not letting go. Before she knew what was going on, he had her flipped over and hovering over top of her. He laid most of his wait down on her, making sure not crush her, but also making sure that she could not get away. He could hear how her breathing was becoming harder and even heartbeat was beating faster. He pressed his face against the side of her face, while letting her calm down. He did not want to over excite her, or to stress her out more that she already was. He listened carefully for their unborn child's heartbeat and had to hide the smile that came to his face when he heard the soft but strong heartbeat, beating rapidly. The baby did not seem to be affected by its mother's stress.
"Let me go Edward," Bella said while trying to push him off of her. "You had no right and you know it…get off of me." Bella said squirming has she tried to get free. Before she knew what was going on, Edward had growled at her and bit down on her neck. She could feel how her own heartbeat in her ears, it was pounding loudly at her.
"I had every right Princess…I am your bodyguard…or did you forget." Edward growled out, his lips barely touching her ear. "My job is to protect you and make sure that nothing happens to you…and if that means," He said while pausing. "If that means giving you something to sleep…I will do it again." He growled his mate growl loudly. Letting her know who was in charge. He could feel her body become stiff and then slowly become calm. "Good girl…now…I am going to get up and get changed," Edward said against her ear. "Then I am going to go downstairs to for breakfast…you can join me if you want." Edward said while placing his fangs against the mark that he had left on her neck, he could hear how it made her heartbeat speed up. It made him smile that she reacted that way to him. "But you will never question me again…I will always do everything in my power to protect you." He said before getting up. Bella laid there, not knowing if she should move or stay still. She watched has he got up and began to change his clothes. He was now wearing pair of blue jeans and grey v-neck t-shirt. She found him to be attractive standing there putting his shirt on, she was kind of sad to see his nice body disappear, but at that thought she wanted to smack herself. She should not be thinking that way about him. For one she barely knew him and another, every time she started to trust him again, he would betray her. This was not the first time he had betrayed her and she did not know if it would be the last. She was mad at him, for thinking that he could control her. She did not care that he was trying to protect her; only that he seemed to try to control her.
"When are we going to save Jacob?" Bella asked.
"When the mutts pack gets here," Edward growled. He was getting tired of her asking about the pup. He knew that he should have killed the mutt when he got the chance. "Stop asking…you will get the same answer every time, until his pack is here."
"You know he has a name," Bella said while sitting up and crossing her arms over her chest. "Can't you call him by his name…or is it too hard?" Bella said while glaring at him.
"That's what he is…he a werewolf." Edward said while rolling his eyes at her.
"So you would like if someone called you vamp…because that's what you are?" Bella asked with a smirk at her face. She could tell that she had hit a nerve.
"Fine," He sighed loudly. He was mad that she had got one up on him. "When Jacob's pack gets here…we start planning something," Bella had to smirk at him has she watched him head for the door. "Now I am going down to the kitchen…you can come if you want." Edward said while leaving her there. She stayed on the bed for what like hours, but had only been a few minutes. She finally got up and went to look for something to change into, but could not find anything. She wanted to cry, because she wearing what she figured has Edward's shirt and boxers. She finally gave up and ran her hands through her hair, trying to straighten her hair, but that was not working either. Finally making her way downstairs, she could hear Edward and Avelina talking.
Edward was seated at the kitchen table in the small country-style kitchen. The room had rustic cabinets and huge farmhouse sink, along with a vintage style stove. There was a small table in the middle of the room. He watched has Avelina kept herself busy by cooking breakfast food.
"I did not know that you eat." Edward said while taking a sip of the drink he had in front of him.
"I don't anymore…comes with leaving for ever," Avelina said while turning to face him with a smile on her. "I only have a take a small potion that I came up with every morning and I am good to go for the day."
"Then why the food?" Edward asked.
"For you mate of course." Avelina said with a laugh. "She will need to eat and of course her food will have to be different now."
"What are you on about?" Edward asked her.
"I suppose you would not know…seeing has you were the youngest…but even your mother had to take blood with her meals…even Bella's mother had to take blood…she just may not remember it so well," Avelina explained. "Vampire babies are very different…they require not only the blood from their mothers…but also human food…its very weird, but because they require their mother's blood to survive…the mother must consume more blood to keep her body from trying to kill the baby."
"Shit." Edward said while pinching the bridge of his nose. "Then what am I suppose to do?" Edward asked. "I can't be giving her blood...it will freak her out."
"Your not…there is a way to hide it in her food or what she drinks…its like eating the food almost raw...like with meat…you let it be more bloody." Avelina explained while ejecting the food she had in front of her with what looked like blood. She had come up with a potion that come be put in food, it was like ejecting the food with blood and the person eating it would not notice.
"I can't do that to her." Edward growled. He did not want to make Bella anymore stressed that she already was.
"Your child will kill her if you don't," Avelina said while looking at him. She did not want him to worry more about his mate than already was, but he need to know everything. "That's why humans should not have vampire children…her own mother almost died." Avelina said with frown on her face. Footsteps could be heard coming down the steps. Bella walked into the kitchen and felt like she was being watched. Both Avelina and Edward were watching.
"Morning sweetie...sit down I have breakfast for you." Avelina said while putting a plate of food down on the table, across from Edward. Bella set down and looked over to Edward who staring at her. She began to eat, while both Avelina and Edward watched her.
"Do I have something on my face?" She asked while wiping at her face.
"No darling…I just wanted to make sure you like your food…I have not made food for anyone in forever." Avelina said while smiling at the young girl.
"Oh its good…thank you." Bella said while eating more of her food. They set in silence has Bella continued to eat her food, while Edward kept peeking looks at her, to make sure that she had not figured out that the food was laced with blood. Before anyone could say anything, the sound of a doorbell could be heard.
"Edward be a dear and get the door." Avelina said while taking a seat beside Bella. Bella watched has Edward got up from his seat and headed out of the room. "Bella…you may want to finish and go change." Avelina said while smiling.
"I don't have any clothes." Bella said with a frown. She did not know what she was going to do, she had no supplies and she was not sure when she was going home.
"Yes you do…I made sure Edward picked up clothes for you…check the closet in your guys room." Avelina said while standing up.
"Okay…thank you." Bella said while standing and pushing her chair in. She watched has Avelina picked her plate and carried it to the sink. Bella quickly left the room. When she got to the top landing of the upstairs, she made her way into the room she had slept in. She looked through the closet, finding a few sets of clothes. Picking out a soft pink blouse that had smocked shoulders, with an cinched neck and a slight ruffle, it was very sheer looking. She pulled the shirt over her lilac colored push-up bra that had embellishments on the front of it. Bella noticed how her breast was a little sore while she was putting her bra on. She rubbed her nipples through her bra, trying to make them feel better and when they did, she pulled her lace trim cheekini panties on. Next she pulled on a pair of shorts that had a hole on the back pocket. She was a little embarrassed that Edward had bought her clothes for her, and that he knew what size bra she wore. Finding a brush in the bathroom that was attached to the bedroom she had slept in. She tied her hair up and made her way back downstairs to where she found a group of six large men that she had seen before in Wescott while growing up. She noticed Edward and Avelina in the room, all of them were talking, a few shouting. When she entered the room, everyone became quite and stared at her.
"Bella come sit...your friends pack is here." Avelina said while patting the seat beside her. Bella came walk into the room, taking the seat beside Avelina. She looked around the room noticing Mr. Ateara and Mr. Lahote, along with Mr. Cameron. They were the only three that she really recognized. Mr. Ateara was Quil's father, and Mr. Lahote was Paul's father, and Mr. Cameron was Jared's father. Quil, Paul, and Jared were friends with Jacob throughout high school.
"Miss Dwyer…your mother is worried about you." Mr. Ateara said with a smile. Bella smiled at the older man. He was not that old, around the same age has her own mother, maybe just a little older.
"Oh don't go sweet talking her…it's her fault our Prince is in trouble." Mr. Lahote hissed while glaring at Bella. Edward growled back at the man who was glaring at his mate. Bella did not understand what was going on.
"Michael you know are Alpha has written a law that says we are to protect her," Mr. Ateara hissed. "You wouldn't want to go against our Alpha." Mr. Lahote still hissed. "Michael…if you do not quit…I will have to pull rank as Beta and have you removed." Mr. Ateara growled at Mr. Lahote.
"You are allowed to stay here…but if we have any problems, you will have to be removed…I will not have Bella in danger," Edward said while growling has he stood up.
"Understood…tomorrow we will head out." Mr. Ateara said while standing and shaking Edward's hand. "For now…lets plan what we will be doing."
"Sounds like a plan…Bella you and Avelina should go for a walk while we are talking business." Edward said while offering Bella is hand. She took the hand that he offered and stood.
"Why do we need to leave…Avelina would be able to tell you where he is at and I do not need leave either…I want to help get Jacob back too." Bella said while crossing her arms across her chest.
"You will not be coming." Edward growled. A few of the men in the room began to laugh.
"Having trouble?" Mr. Cameron asked while laughing. He like the rest of the men in the room could smell that Bella was Edward's mate and that she was pregnant. They found the situation to be funny because they would be doing the same thing with their own mates.
"Back off," Edward growled at Mr. Cameron and then looked down at Bella with unreadable look abound his face. Bella stood her ground with him, making the men in the room howl with laughter. "Princess," Edward said while snatching her arm and dragging her out of the room. When they were out of the room, Edward slammed Bella against the closet wall. She trembled has her body hit the wall, her back hurt a bit, but nothing too horrible. He pressed his body against hers and pressed his face into the crook of her, breathing in her scent. Trying to calm him, before he did anything horrible. "Don't ever make me look weak in front of people again," Edward hissed against her ear. It sent shivers down Bella's spine, she was nervous about what he would do. She knew that he would not hurt her, but she was afraid that he might get pissed enough to leave her again. "You will not like the outcome…I can promise you that." Those words scared her.
"But…I want to come…why shouldn't I...give me a gun or knife and I will be fine." Bella rambled.
"No…I will not have you getting hurt…because I gave into you," Edward growled. "You are too important…your friend will be saved and nothing will come of you." Edward said while kissing her cheek and pulling back. He would not risk her life or their unborn child's life for the mutt. He did not care if it pissed her off. "Go take that walk…Avelina will be waiting by the front door for you." Edward said while running one of his fingers along her cheek.
"You can't control me Edward." Bella growled, which got a chuckle out of Edward.
"Leaving the growling to the men sweetheart," Edward smirked when he saw Bella glare at him. "Now go," Edward said while motioning towards the front entrance of the house. Bella stood there not moving, biting her lip. She was mad at Edward for telling her what to do, like he owned her.
"And if I don't?" Bella challenged.
"I will throw you over my shoulder and carry you upstairs…then I will tie you to my bed…to where you will stay until we are done," Edward said while smirking. "Don't challenge me." Bella kept on glaring at him, while stepping away from him. He could tell that she was trying to get away from him, like she wanted to run. He stepped closer to her, snatching one of her arms and pulling hard against him. He bared his fangs at her and she began to squirm, trying to get away from. It only made him laugh, he placed his fangs against the mark that he had left on her neck, digging his fangs into her skin, and he spoke clearly. "Don't challenge me Princess." She stopped squirming and tried to push him away. He wrapped his arms around her small waist and growled loudly at her. It made her stop and look up at him. "Now that you have pissed me off," He said while throwing her over his shoulder and carrying her towards the entrance where Avelina was standing. Edward could tell that she was smiling at him, almost laughing too. "Take her for a walk," Edward said to Avelina, while putting Bella back down on her feet. "Now be good Princess…if I hear that you have ran away…you will not like it when I have found you." Edward said while kissing the top of her head roughly before leaving the room. Bella stood there shell shock.
