The Truth.

Chapter 7-Narcissa

I came to slowly, relaxed, and surrounded by the scent that was distinctly Bella. For the time in nearly a year, I slept without nightmares. I felt a weight against my side and looked over to find Bella asleep. I smiled smugly as I spotted the hickeys and bitemarks across her skin. I shuddered as I remembered her moans and screams. I had managed to reel in the need to mark her last night because even though we both wanted to, it wasn't the right time. There was something I wanted to do first. My primal side wasn't too happy but was pleased with the marking that littered our mate's skin. my skin wasn't left without a mark either. bruises, bitemarks and scratches littered my own skin and I glowed with happiness. Our lovemaking wasn't gentle at first. It was rushed, fevered and full of raw lust thanks to my bloodlust. Bella then took over and it was a repeat for her, as our magic joined and bonded. After we had satiated ourselves with that need, the pace slowed, and we made love. I felt her soul brush and connect with mine and it was beautiful. The amount of love we held for each other was unimaginable. The bond just made it stronger. We finally fell asleep after many rounds, wrapped up with each other and I fell asleep listening to her heartbeat. Her scent soothing me, carrying away the nightmares away.

As I lay there thinking, I remembered that I had blown my own cover. I was too relaxed to let the rage build. I was disappointed in myself then groaned when Lucian wouldn't be happy when he found out, though I knew he would get over it. I also knew I would have to start training even harder as whatever was coming because not only would it affect us and the wizarding world, but the Mythics too. My irritation was rising a little and I was slightly annoyed because I knew that this would separate me from my mate again, but I knew I had no choice. Both me and Bella understood the implications of being an Alpha, didn't mean I had to like everything about being responsible for protecting all Supernatural. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Bella's heart rate pick up slightly as she was waking up. I couldn't help but smile as she rolled over, eyes alight with happiness and love. "Morning my pretty." I grinned at the nickname and pulled her into my body, flush against my skin. I heard her moan slightly and peppered kisses across her neck before pecking her lips. "Morning Bella." She smiled and I was filled with happiness and sure, I knew we would have to face our problems sooner or late but at this moment, I would relish in having my mate in my arms. I released a territorial growl when I smelt another coming towards our room and pulled Bella even further into my body. I hadn't marked her yet so my primal side was screaming at me to protect her even though I knew that the person who had now entered the room would never hurt my mate.

Narcissa raised her eyebrow, unimpressed, with a slight smirk. "Good, your both awake. Tea will be ready in twenty minutes. Don't be late." With that, she walked out the door and I had to blink a little. Bella turned back around from looking at the door and released a chuckle, her hand raised to my cheek and she said, "Come on Muddy, Cissy hates it when anyone is late." My arms loosed reluctantly from around her waist and she got up. My eyes couldn't help but scan across her body. I release a growl, more of a purr of satisfaction when I saw all the marks mapped all over her body. She looked back at me and winked as she walked into the bathroom. She laughed as I joined her a second later.

When I had met Narcissa, she was blunt, cold and distant. Being from a family of 'purebloods' and married to another created expectations of how acted towards others. However, Narcissa in her own home was like another person. She was still blunt, but she was a lot warmer and extremely sassy. I can see where Draco got his sassiness from. Bella was extremely close to her sisters but most of all to Narcissa since they both had been brought up to follow a certain way and even though Narcissa followed, she truly loves Lucius and kept true to herself. We spoke to each other most because we were both close to Bella. She would tell me funny stories of when they were at Hogwarts when they were younger whenever I missed Bella and I talked to her about Draco. She had warmed up to meconsiderably quickly, but she had told me that she wanted the right person forher sister because she just wanted her sister to be happy. I understood and was thank full. She told meabout growing up in the Black's home and honestly if their father hadn't been dead,I would have made sure he was. The three sisters had a strong bond, thoughNarcissa and Bella are closer, Andromeda was still close to her sister, but couldn'tkeep contact due to being under watch by Dumbledore.

Her and Bella's back and forth playful arguments are always fun to watch. Like now. "You know that was not what happened Cissy!" I held back my laughter as I glanced at an amused Lucius and Draco. Both the sisters where sat, arguing over how Bella had blown up her cauldron in Professor Snape's class because she had been thinking of her dream woman, conveniently me. Narcissa scoffed and smirked. "Well, I remember your exact words." Bella laughed and said "Oh really? OK, so what where they then?" Narcissa grinned and I saw the humour in her eyes. She spoke in an almost perfect imitation of Bella, "Oh but Cissy, her eyes! There are so beautiful. It's like looking into a storm. I just want to find her and-" Narcissa was cut off with Bella's hand, her face flushed red but in a scowl. "Ok. I'm pretty sure your son doesn't want to hear what I said." She pulled back with an annoyed scowl and looked me in mock anger saying "This is your fault. It was your fault that I nearly failed the exam." I laughed and responded "Me? Oh, but love, I wasn't conscious of my true self. Besides, I wasn't even born then." Bella scowled and I didn't like it so I appeared beside her in a blink and pulled her flush against my body and leant into her ear, whispering, "However, I would like to know what you said. I can think of a few things to get it out of you." She shuddered and looked at me with lust in her eyes. We were broken out our trance when Narcissa scoffed saying "Merlin, you two are like a pair of horny teenaged boys." I laughed and pecked Bella on the lips. I pulled away but kept my arm around her waist. Looking up at Narcissa, she smiled but then looked serious. I straightened unconsciously and she said "He will arrive tomorrow. You will be introduced, and you will have to discuss the plans." I nodded. Things had changed drastically, and I couldn't help but grin. It was time to plan accordingly.
