AN: I'm super sorry it took me that long to post a new Chapter, I seriously hadn't realized how long it had been until some of you asked me if I was still continuing this. I am, I just had so much on my mind that I hadn't the time to write anything for any of my fics but I promise I will remedy that.

Bella POV

Charlie's face had resembled a raging storm cloud the moment I entered the house that evening. Alice had been reluctant to leave my side so soon after getting me back and telling me I was her mate but her visions had told her how it wouldn't have been such a good idea for her to accompany me inside. Then Charlie apparently would only see her as a bad influence on me.

This way I still had to endure his mild fury and worry he tried hiding behind it but at least after some ranting on his side and being grounded for the unforeseeable future I was able to tell him what had happened and how I hadn't been able to contact him in time and then simply forgotten.

He knew about Cori from stories I had told him over the phone the years before and only required he meet her the next day after school. I tried telling him that Cori probably wouldn't be immediately joining us in school due to the fact that it was nearly the end of the year but my father didn't care and stated that if she wouldn't be attending that she would have even more time to prove to him that she was as good a friend as I had told him before and that me disappearing suddenly without telling him wouldn't be a recurring thing.

I was short of falling asleep on my feet when Charlie finally let me go upstairs and into my room. There surely would be another reminder of my behavior the next morning but I figured that wouldn't be so bad if I got some sleep beforehand. That thought soon turned into a small problem after reaching my room and falling into my bed. My body had gotten accustomed to Alice being near me while I slept and so after I tossed and turned for quite some time I heaved a deep sigh and fumbled for my phone in order to text my pixie vampire and get her to come into my room without Charlie noticing. Before I even managed to find the damn phone I heard the window open and close and then the familiar scent of Alice reached me as I felt the bed dip slightly behind me.

"Sleep now my sweet Bella. I'll be here as long as I can without Charlie noticing, I promise."

Satisfied I snuggled into her smaller body and buried my nose into her shoulder. Falling asleep the second I felt truly content. Her arms cocooning me into a save space and her small purr relaxing me fully.

Cori POV

I couldn't help but feel nervous as I exited the car just behind Rose once we reached their quite impressive mansion in the middle of the forest. It would make it tremendously easy for me to change into my wolf form whenever I felt the need to let her out and run besides the nights of the full moon I was still forced to change into my wolf form no matter where I was.

Carslisle told me about the pack of wolves on the reservation nearby and I knew I would need to talk with their Alpha before one of them categorized me as a threat to them. But all those things weren't as pressing as the fact that I was about to enter the mansion where I would be living for the coming years in a room together with my mate. All my life since I discovered my wolfish nature had been spent alone and I was kind of anxious about that fact changing so quickly. There was no doubt that I wanted to spend the rest of eternity together with my mate but her family was a whole other deal that I didn't yet feel all too comfortable about as I feared I would somehow mess things up and make my mate angry at me which no doubt would lead to me being kicked out and having to live in the forest.

"What has you thinking so hard, hm?"

Rose had snuck back to where I was still standing, staring at the mansion and engulfed me into her arms with her head resting just above my slowly beating heart.

"I'm not used to living together with so many people and I can't help but worry I will do something wrong and end up on your bad side."

I felt instantly relieved when Rosalie simply chuckled at that as if the thought of her getting mad at me was that preposterous. Instead of saying anything else she simply grabbed my hand and started dragging me towards the house and then upstairs to where her room was no doubt. I had barely time enough to marvel at the elegant interior design of everything around me before I found myself in a big room that smelled purely of my mate. It held a large glass front from where one could overview the forest. There was a large bed pushed to one side of the room, a large walk-in closet stood open next to it and there was a large desk with an installed drawing board that told me my mate liked to draw and according to the various car parts lying on the desk was a mechanic. I couldn't help but smile at that, my mate wasn't the primly feminine lady she appeared to be on the outside but so much more and I couldn't wait to get to know her better. My own love for art would fit perfectly well with her own even though I was sure our art was completely different from each other. There was enough space on her walls left for my books as I hoped she wouldn't mind them too much as I couldn't see any of her own.

"Shouldn't we have brought my things with us if you already brought me to your room?"

A small purr and my arms full of Rosalie was answer enough as to what she had in mind when she steered me directly into her personal room. The thought of us getting to know each other better intimately was exciting but reminded me that I still needed to tell her about my additional part and I would be well advised to do so now before I scared her away with it should we keep going.

Slowly pulling away but keeping my hands firmly on her hips to assure her I didn't intend to reject her I searched for her deep gold eyes to make sure I had her full attention.

"There is something I need to tell you now Rose before we continue with everything as I think that as my mate you have the right to know about it."

She blinked slowly in confusion but nodded her understanding and listened to what I had to say. Taking another deep breath of her scent to calm my nerves I guided one of her hands down my body until she was cupping my already slightly hard dick in my pants. I waited a short moment until it dawned on her face what she was holding in her hand.

"The nature of my wolf is male which is quite uncommon for any kind of shifter and it had some side effects on my human body no one knew of before I shifted at the age of eighteen. Instead of possessing the normal female reproductive organs my body changed to the male ones and while not many know about it I need you to know and I need to know that it doesn't bother you or I will stop immediately if you don't feel comfortable with it."

For a moment my mate just stared at me with wide disbelieving eyes, than her hand gently squeezed and I couldn't help but let out a strangled moan. This was definitely not the best time to get so aroused as I wasn't even sure yet if it had been intentional but I couldn't help my reaction. Any fears were wiped away when Rosalie started purring slightly and pressed herself back against me, her hand still firmly cupping my dick, gently fondling it from time to time.

"You don't have to be awkward about it Cori, that part of you doesn't bother me in the slightest."

Her eyes began to darken further and I felt my breath hitch when her hand quickly disappeared inside my pants and cupped my straining penis directly. Her cool hand was soothing and so smooth, different from any sensation I ever felt and I already knew I would never miss another's touch or my own again with my mate around. The fact that my best kept secret that took me years to lay out to Bella was so well accepted made me feel absolutely ecstatic. The fear that my mate might reject me over my anatomy had always been one of my greatest fears but obviously, they had all been for nothing when Rosalie kissed me soundly on my lips, her tongue slipping into my mouth and her hand gently stroking and squeezing my twitching member in the tight confines of my jeans.

I was panting slightly, my hands firmly wrapped around her ass as she slowly steered us towards her bed, when a persistent knock on the door interrupted us. Rose spun around with a loud snarl as the door opened seconds later without her consent and of course it was Edward who had been naïve enough to believe himself above the primal instincts of our species. I had to suppress a dark chuckle when he was tackled straight out of the room the second Rosalie reached him and smashed into the opposite wall. The mood between us had sufficiently been ruined and I couldn't yet decide if I was glad or disappointed about it. I usually required more time to adjust to emotional and physical changes and suddenly gaining a very sexy mate was one heck of a change I would need to get used to as fast as possible.

As Rose ripped Edward a new one in front of our room I thought to myself that I couldn't wait to meet this Alec who was Edward's true mate. Everything in that regard promised to get very interesting besides his involvement with Bella and Alice.
