The Truth.

Chapter 17-Jealousy

The months passed in a blur and soon, we were halfway through the year. Winter was approaching as the snow slowly started to cover the ground. I had found that Harry had the Half Blood Prince book. Harry refused to give the book back its rightful owner though I had my own suspicion even if there was no way I could confirm it. I had also concluded that only Dumbledore knew what I truly was, and it seems that he had Obliviated Harry...again.

Despite knowing that Harry was irredeemable, I still wanted to try even if it turned out useless. It also seemed that Harry had begun to notice Ginny though she was with Dean Thomas and Lavender's advances seem to be increasing with Ronald and I knew it wouldn't take long for her to take her next step. I also seemed to, for some reason, have my own admirer, which not only irritated me but pissed Bella off. She had threatened to come onto the school grounds and torture the lad once I had told her what he had said.

Flash back

Being in our mindscape was the only comfort I had of being close to Bella as I possibly could without detection. We couldn't meet at the Shrieking Shack anymore because the protection spells had been upgraded. No one could get on or out of school grounds without the headmaster explicit say so. It also made it harder for me to transform in the forbidden forest, but I always managed to get out undetected. I didn't have to transform but I would become increasingly irritable if I didn't and if I couldn't sneak out of grounds then I had to settle for the room of requirement.

I felt Bella's presence and sunk into Bella arms as they wrapped around my waist. Relaxing as her scent soothed me. "Hello my pretty." I was contemplating on telling Bella about Cormac because I knew how she would act but she spoke before I could decide. "I can practically hear you thinking muddy." I sighed and replied, "Promise you won't get mad?" She looked down at me questionably but nodded. I then told her of McLaggen advances towards me, I could feel her rage increasing as I spoke about the time that he cornered me before I hexed him. Even after hexing him though, he still kept trying and couldn't get it into his thick skull that I wasn't interested. "Bella, love, calm down." I could see the rage in her eyes as she said, "I am calm." I smothered the snicker that wanted to escape my lips.

My mouth dropped open as I sensed something unexpected under her anger. "Bella. Are you...Are you jealous?" Her head snapped in my direction and she scoffed. "No. I have no need to get jealous." But even as she said that, I could feel her jealousy. I laughed and twisted so I was now straddling her. "Bella, there is no reason for you to be jealous of an arrogant, self-righteous little boy who I hold no interest for." I grabbed her face firmly and stated "You are mine as I am yours. My mate. I desire no one but you." Her pupils where blown but not in anger. "I really wish you were here in person muddy." I pecked her lips and whispered, "As do I Bella."

Flashback end

The ache in my chest expanded but was immediately soothed by Bella sending assurance and adoration through our bond, immediately distinguishing my pain. We were so in tune with one another and we knew what the other was feeling and despite not being next to one another, we could soothe one another by each other's presence in our minds. Our bond grew stronger every day and we both knew that when our bond was complete, it would be unbreakable. If I told anyone, not that I ever would, that Bella was a huge softy, they would laugh. No one knew the real Bella other than her sisters and me. Sure, Bella had her sadistic side and looked and acted insane to others but me and her sisters.

By all means, due to the darkness in the both of us, we didn't need to be sickeningly sweet, though sometimes it we couldn't help but reassure each another with little touches and sometime just to shock others we would act lovingly towards another but it wasn't something that we had to do all the time. Both of us were possessive of one another, Bella more so because she couldn't be here with me and me because, well my wolf craved her mate every second of the day and not being able to touch her was driving me insane, but we had to be patient. "Soon muddy."  I sighed. This year couldn't end quick enough. 

Hope you enjoyed!
