A/N: Sorry for the slow posts of the chapters been busy with moving to another state and looking for work.

Disclaimer: I still don't own Twilight that's all SM but I do have fun with the characters. I do own Seph as much as I do.

A/Q: Okay to answer some things from my reviews. First off I am not changing my beta and if you can't handle this then don't read my story. Second to answer this guest comment Bella is not Leah at all. Bella is the daughter of a goddess. Leah is Sam's imprint in this story. Again Leah and Bella are not the same person. Leah will appear soon as will the other shifters. Just bare with me on this story.

Chapter 7: Learning of family history part 1

Bella POV:

I know that I'm a goddess, but I'm not sure if I can actually use any of my powers. Mom's able to travel, but I don't know if I'll be able to do any of that. My beautiful mate Emily blew me away when she offered to let me ride her in her wolf form back to the meeting hall. I'm sure that if we walked it would take too long especially with how clumsy I am.

"Bella, would you like to see my wolf? If you want you can ride on my back to the meeting hall since we're pretty far away." Did Emily just ask me if I wanted to see her wolf and then ride her? A naughty thought entered my mind.

"Sure I would love to see your wolf babe. But ride your wolf? Now that is something we need to talk about it. I didn't think we would do anything like that before our first date." I say trying to joke and flirt with her at the same time.

"Bella I hope you are joking about that?" Em asks looking at me like I had a second head. I saw Emily gently shaking her head to clear of some thoughts. She looked like she was enjoying those thoughts to. Emily focused back on me and tried to figure out what to do next.

"Em, I hope you know that I'm just teasing you. Though I can see that you liked what I said." I say teasing Emily again. I just really hope that we can keep this up once we become an official couple.

"I didn't know for sure if you were joking or not. Anyway do you still want to see my wolf Bella?" Emily asked me again just to make sure I still wanted to see the other half of my mate. I could see that she was honestly terrified that I might change my mind once I see her as a wolf.

I walk up to Emily, and gently placing my hand on her cheek as I caress it. Emily leans into my hand as we lock eyes. "Emily, I would love to see your wolf if you trust me enough to see her." I hope Emily could see from my eyes that I won't be changing my mind about us.

Emily slowly steps far enough away that she think I'm safe from her hurting me. I could see that she didn't want to hurt me by accident somehow enough though she could never hurt me. Emily quickly slide off her clothes not even concerned about being shy around me. She quickly fold her clothes and hand them to me before she close her eyes as she allowed her wolf to take over and the transformation to take place.

As soon she opened her eyes, she look to see me looking at her in amazement. Slowly I held out my hand and walks towards her. Emily meet me halfway so I can run my fingers through her fur. Emily walk closer so she can nuzzle into my neck as I pets behind her ear. "You look so beautiful Emily." I whispers softly.

Em nudge my shoulder as she slowly started to lie down. I got the hint as I slowly walks over to stand behind her before cautiously throwing one of my leg over Emily's back and gently sitting down. She stands up slowly as she begins to walking towards the meeting hall. As we continue Emily gradually get faster until I gets the hint to grab onto her fur as tight as I can while still holding her clothes close to me.

Before Emily even have time to get up to top speed we're already standing just on the outskirts of the meeting hall. Emily slowly lies down letting me know that it's safe for me to get off of her now. Emily groan softly as she allow her bones to shift back to normal. Emily smile as she see the fierce blush on my face as I hand her clothes back before turning around.

"You know you're going to have to get used to me being naked eventually." Emily's say as she quickly slide her clothes back on. "You can turn around now." Em lean over to grab my hand gently.

"I'm sure one day I will get used to it, but not today I guess. Come on I don't want mom and the others to get worried." I says as I laced our fingers together and we start walking towards the meeting hall. Hopefully this will be over soon so I can spend some more alone time with my mate.

We both walk in the meeting hall holding hands and both of us were smiling. Everyone was looking at us like something big happen but to us it was something normal. My mom was smiling as she saw us walking in holding hands and I could swear that she was able to read my thought about what happened earlier between Emily and I in the forest.

As Emily and I walk into the meeting hall holding hands and smiling we're meet with a look of shock and surprise. I feel like I can hear what everyone was thinking about us. I had to say something about it.

"Yes Emily and I are mates, I'm her imprint. What did you all think Emily was not going to tell me who and what she is and that I would not accept her. Well I did accept her like she has accepted me as a goddess." I think I just shock everyone with what I just said. My mom nodded her head at me knowing that I am about to step into my role which I still don't know.

"About time you both saw that and accept what your destiny is." Of course my mom had to say that. My mom was the first to congratulate us and making everyone congratulating us on this new step for us as well.

"Emily, does this mean we will get a show of Bella and you in a hot steamy sex?" Quil asks wiggle his brows in a matter that had the guys wolf whistle at us till Sam slap him behind the head, "Quil that's my cousin and I don't need to see that and neither should anyone else."

"Don't worry about that Sam once they mate fully and mark each other, Emily won't be able to show anyone her thoughts." We heard another round of growls and gasps from everyone in the room. Emily slaps her forehead like this conversation was already discussed before hand but it looks like it did not sink into everyone's minds yet.

"Hold on, I already explain this before about Bella having fangs and that she can't kill Emily or change her. Everyone listen to me as I explained this before that my father is not really Zeus like everyone thinks. My real father is Erebus, the God of darkness." My mom said to everyone about this.

I must've had a shock look on my face by what my mom just said about who my grandfather really is. "Mom, really Erebus is your father? So Zeus is not your father at all but the books say that he is." I was shaking my head at this new information. Great is there anything else that I need to know.

"Yes Bella he is. So as I was saying he is the God of darkness and he is also a vampire a true one that when the sun comes out he will burn. No the garlic and the stake in the heart doesn't do anything to him. Nor does the holy water or any other thing the humans can think of. The reason I don't burn or Bella is because of who my mother is and she is a goddess. I on the other hand am not only a goddess and vampire but also a Chthonic deity."

I had to sit down as I listen to my mom explain not only who she really is but also who I am as well. I am learning of my family history, well my mom's side anyway. I turn to look at Emily and to my shock she is still holding my hand rubbing it with her thumb. Emily looks down at me and smiles like it not a big thing in the world. I knew I had to ask her,

"Em, you're ok with this information?" Emily kneels down in front of me and caresses my cheek, "Yes Bella I am, your mom explain this to us earlier but as you can see everyone has forgotten this conversation." I have to say I have to be lucky to have such a wonderful mate and understanding about my family history.

I was smiling that Emily was good with this information. I look at Emily more as I nodded my head agreeing with her. "Yea I guess that they did forget that but this is all new for me." Emily rubs my hand that is still in her hand and whispers to me "Don't worry hun I am here with you every step of the way."

I was shocked to say the least and that she will be with me on this journey that I am on. "Thanks Em for this. So mom explain more please." I pull Emily up and onto my lap wrapping my arms around her waist. We both sat there ready to listen to my mom.

"Like I was saying. A chthonic deity is one that can rule both this world and the underworld. We can bite our mates when we mate fully and not kill them when we bite their necks or change them into a god or goddess unless Bella marks Emily with a tattoo that will be burned on her arm by touching her and a tattoo of my mark will appear on her arm. Yes it like the one she has on her arm from your tribe. I have one as well and Bella will have one as well but it will be different between Bella, Emily and myself."

"Let me explain the tattoos and what each will mean. When I mark Bella arm it will have my torch and a shaft of wheat because she is my daughter and the tattoo will wake up her powers that are in her. When Bella marks Emily it will have the shaft of wheat and will have a wolf head as well. This mark will make Emily more of immortal even if she stop shifting into her wolf form. It's their destiny and there is nothing we can do to stop this from happening."

Who would have thought that this is what I was able to do and then one day rule two worlds granted it I have never thought it that this would be me. I was wondering if we could have this conversation more private not where everyone can know about this. This is really making me feel odd and I hated this. Emily turn to face me like she could sense something was off with me, look at my mom and both nodded.

"I think this is enough information for everyone and Bella needs times to spend with Emily and then more time with me as well. Charlie you don't mind if we stay at your place?" My dad nodded his head. Emily stands up, offer her hand for me to take so we could go home.

We both started to walk to the door and my mom followed behind us smiling like she knows something is about to happen. Em and I were outside waiting for my mom to come outside when we felt a gust of wind and then saw the leaves swirl around as my mom appeared in front of us laughing.

"Mom you do know that the mortal world don't know that you are not real anymore. What if they saw you?" I was shaking my head at what my mom just did. "Oh Bella live a little. So what the mortals wouldn't know the truth if it slap them on the face. Come let's get home and yes we will travel that way because it is faster."

With my mom's help we get home to start this conversation about who I am really and what my role is. Also what is Emily and my destiny is and what we need to do. I also needed to know more about this mating thing and I just hope that I will not hurt my mate at all.

We enter my dad's home finding that he is not home which is kind of good because I don't want him to hear about the mating part. "We should wait for your father to get home since he is driving here unlike us." My mom was laughing like it was nothing big that she is a goddess in a world where mortals think she is not really anymore.

I walk Emily into the living room and pull her onto my lap as we sit on the couch. Emily turns so she is sitting sideways on me so she snuggles into me as I wrap my arms around her waist.

SPOV

After pacing a moment I walk to the window, letting the sight of the leaves moving with the wind calm me before turning to look at my daughter and her mate. I stay by the window, unconsciously putting some room between us as I begin to tell her of my, and her, heritage. "Well, to begin, you already know my mother is Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, and my father is Erebus, the God of night and Vampires. He's also mated to Nyx, goddess of the night." Bella gave me a look of shock and curiosity.

"Wait, so he has two mates?"

I nod. "Yes, he has two mates, just as I do, and just as you will." At this Emily let out a near thundering growl, the sound quite shocking coming from such a small woman, and wrapped her arms tightly around my daughter. I look at the wolf, raising an eyebrow and holding my hands up to show I meant no harm by the comment. "I'll explain, I swear, but please understand it is part of your prophesy."

"Now wait just a minute, mom," Bella cut in, eyes panicked and wild looking. "You're telling me not only do I have to be good enough for Emily, but now I have to be good enough and impress someone else?!" Her eyes were still frantic even as Emily did her best to reassure her. "What the hell, mom?!"

I cleared my throat and rubbed the back of my neck, averting my eyes. "Well, you see… The apple doesn't exactly fall far from the tree, as the mortals say. I suppose I should tell you about your other parent."

Bella blinked before yelping out a loud "... WHAT?!"

A/N: new beta and co-writer is Sk8rgrl69, the reason behind it is I work too many hours and my best friend decided to help me out and put in her two cents (yo I think I did more than two cents, thanks), and informed me I needed some fucking help. (It's so true tho…)
