After the tense conversation with the rest of the coven had drawn to a close I had taken Bella up towards my room, not being about to have resisted not to take her as I made sure she knew just who was in charge. I knew she loved it when my major side took over and I knew she was aware that I neededto assert my dominance over her. All of this talk of Alice wanting to kill my mate had left me feeling more than a tad possessive over her.

I was also fully aware of just how much she was enjoying my suddenly protective nature.

After our love-making, or fucking depending on how you wished to call it, we had simply laid naked on my sheets. My arms were wrapped around her slim form, my fingers running up and down her spine as the both of us went into downtime mode while we got lost in our own thoughts.

It seemed we both had a lot to think about.

I knew that the coven wouldn't forgive me for destroying Alice which was what I fully intended to do, but it had to be done. She was a threat not only against me but my mate which was not acceptable in the slightest. She needed to be protected; she needed to stay safely by my side. I didn't want to constantly be looking over my shoulder.

While I knew she was fully capable of defending herself, hell she had more experience that I did at that aspect of her life, I couldn't help how I felt. My inner beast was only serving to fuel my urges to make sure I was with her 24/7, to be there encase any harm or threat came her way. She was everything to me. I would not, and could not, live without her if it ever came down to it.

I knew deep within my heart that if somehow Bella did meet her end then I gladly would follow her. I felt deep down how it would pan out as if I could see the future better than the pixie bitch claimed she could. I would destroy all around me, create utter destruction, before following her wherever she had gone so we could always be together.

God, I was such a sap.

While I did not like the thought of a world without Bella, I knew she would do the same if the situation was mirrored. She had told me bluntly to look after myself, that if I did not she would only serve to end her own life as it would be worth nothing without me.

Bella had always had a way with words, but fuck if it made me stop taking risks which could bring about my death. I was much more cautious than I had been when I was a newborn, when life didn't mean much at all since my creation.

Bella was my life.

"You're thinking too much."

Smiling I tilted my head to face my mate, watching her as she turned to move onto her side before shooting me a wide smile. If I had been human my heart would have skipped a beat, I was sure of it.

I suddenly turned serious though. "You agree with me about the Alice situation, correct?" I wanted to be sure even if I planned or doing it anyway.

Thankfully, she nodded. "I trust your judgement completely, and I trust my own when it tells me it is the only possibility we can deal with in an effective manner. But you know you could lose them right? Your family?"

I knew she was talking about the Cullen's but to look at it from a clinical point of view I had a proper coven, my own. It had me, Bella, Peter and Char and it was family.
