When the Cat Becomes the Mouse 45

Rosalie wasn’t sure how long they had been at it but when a knock sounded on the door she knew that she wasn’t even close to being done enjoying her time naked with her mate.Ignoring the insistent sound she focused back on Bella whom she was straddling from behind with two fingers inside of her thrusting in time with Bella thrusting into Victoria who was lying underneath both of them.Once she made Bella cum Rosalie had plans of Bella returning the favor and that wouldn’t happen if whoever was at the door didn’t go away.Realizing the knocking wouldn’t stop until the person was at least acknowledged Rosalie ignored Bella’s sound of protest at the loss of Rosalie’s fingers and went to the door.Making sure that no-one would be able to see anything in the room Rosalie opened the door just enough so that her head was only visible and growled.”What?!”

“I mean no harm.”Tanya said as she held her hands up in a non threatening manner.

“What do you want?”Rosalie knew she was being rude but she didn’t appreciate the interruption.

Tanya knew that it wasn’t smart to interrupt newly mated vampires but it was unavoidable because of recent events.”I don’t want to pull you away from your alone time but Emmett has come to Italy and is requesting asylum.”

“Emmett is here?”Rosalie was surprised he was able to get away from Carlisle.

“Yes and the queens would like it for the three of you to be in the throne room when they meet with him in case this is some kind of trick.They figure because you know him so well that you would be able to tell if he is being sincere or if Carlisle sent him.”It wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility for Carlisle to inflict a sire command that Sulpicia wouldn’t able to detect so they needed Rosalie to help.

Rosalie looked behind her noticing that both Bella and Victoria now had their attention on her.It seemed that the pair understood the seriousness of the situation.”We need clothes.”

“You suitcases are right here.”Tanya held up the four bags that the trio brought with them.

“Then give us a few minutes to get ready.”Rosalie told her as she reached an arm out for the suitcases making sure that she didn’t expose her naked body.

“I’ll be right outside the door.”Tanya said.

Closing the door Rosalie sighed.”I guess our time is up.”

“For now.”Victoria wasn’t discouraged.She expected them to be interrupted.That didn’t upset her that much because she knew that their rooms were probably ready for them so they would have a place to retreat to once they were done with this Emmett nonsense.

Bella stood and made her way to the bathroom.”Let’s get this over with quickly.”

“Afterwards all of us should feed.”Rosalie’s thirst wasn’t uncontrollable but it did feel uncomfortable.

“Good idea.If we feed then we can lock ourselves away longer once this is taken care of.”Victoria said as she handed Bella a towel to dry off before she took her turn in the shower.

Bella sniffed her body.”I hate that I don’t smell strongly of both of you anymore.”

“Don’t worry we will have plenty of opportunity to reattach our scent.”Rosalie promised as she made her way in the shower.

“What do you think Emmett wants?”Victoria asked as she rifled through their suitcases looking for a shirt that smelled the most like Bella.

“I think it could be a few things but the most likely is either he finally was able to get away from Carlisle or that Carlisle sent him for some reason.”Rosalie hoped it was the first reason because it would be nice to have her brother free of Carlisle’s influence.

“Well we won’t know until we see him.”Bella said as she buttoned the pair of Victoria’s pants she decided to wear with one of Rosalie’s shirts.

Victoria smiled when she noticed Bella’s choice in clothing.”No time like the present.”

“Let’s go.”Rosalie led the group to the door opening it to find not only Tanya waiting outside but Kate, Irina and a few guards.

“Bella!!”Kate cheered as she rushed to Bella and pulled her into a hug.

“Kate!!”Tanya screeched as she lunged to pull Kate off of Bella.

“Bella are you alright?”Rosalie asked as she looked Bella over making sure that Kate didn’t hurt her.

Bella waved off her concern.”I’m fine she didn’t hurt me.”

“Kate what the hell were you thinking.”Tanya scolded her sister as she held her back from the newborn.

“What I didn’t anything wrong.”Kate said.

“She could hurt you very badly Kate.”Irina was surprised that Bella didn’t.

”I’m her best friend.Bella wouldn’t hurt me.”Kate scoffed at the very idea.

“Regardless you shouldn’t be putting your hands on her.”Victoria told her.

“It’s alright.I wouldn’t hurt Kate.My shield instinctively knows she isn’t a threat so that’s why it didn’t attack her.”Bella reassured them.

Kate smiled brightly.”See, Bella loves me she wouldn’t hurt me.”

“Regardless we have an issue to deal with.”Tanya let Kate go but would keep an eye on her.Bella may be sure of her shield but she still didn’t have complete control of it yet.

Bella finally taking in the other vampires gathered around them make her way over to Tanya and gave her a hug.”I missed you.”

“I missed you to little one.”Tanya happily let herself be pulled into the hug.She was more than pleased that Bella acted positively on the sire bond.Sometimes newborns would rebel and fight against their makers but it seemed like Bella was comfortable with Tanya.It was probably because Bella chose her sires.Regardless Tanya wasn’t going to complain about Bella showing her affection.

“What about me am I chopped liver?”Kate asked.

Bella laughed and pulled out of the hug.”Of course I missed you Kate.”

“That’s what I thought.”Kate made her way over to give Bella a much calmer hug.

“So it’s me who is the chop liver.”Irina grumbled playfully.

“Of course not.”Bella denied ending the hug with Kate and moving to Irina.”I simply saved the best for last.

“Hey!!”Kate exclaimed.

Irina shot Kate a smirk.”Quite right.”

“As much as I hate to break up this moment the queens are waiting for us and I fear if we don’t go to them they will come to us.”Tanya did hate to break up the moment.It filled her heart with such joy seeing Bella interact with her sisters.It just proved to Tanya that the trio were destine to be Denali.Tanya was planning on making it official as soon as they were done with this Emmett business and got a chance to be alone.

“I am kind of excited to see my mothers.”Now that Bella wasn’t so focused on her lust her thoughts were clearer.That clarity made the ache of being away from her bond mates intensify.

“I’m sure they are excited to see you as well.”Rosalie was actually surprised that they weren’t the ones to interrupt them.”How long have we been occupied?”

“A week and a half.”Athenodora said as the group made their way into Sulpicia’s office where the three queens were waiting.

“It didn’t feel that long.”Victoria felt like it was only minutes not days of them being alone.

“Well it seemed like an eternity.”Didyme held her arms open.”Come here.”

Bella let herself be pulled into the hug.”I’m happy to see you.”

“I’m happy to see you as well.We all missed you very much.”It had taken everything Didyme had to stop herself from searching her daughter out.Knowing Bella was so close and that she couldn’t be with her was driving the queen insane.

“Yes we did.Now Di let her go.I would like my turn as well.”Sulpicia pulled Didyme away from Bella and took the newborn into her arms.She sighed happily when Bella hugged her back just as intensely.

“I missed her just as much as you two.Now I think it’s my turn.”Athenodora had been waiting patiently but wanted a chance to hug her daughter.

Bella released a reluctant Sulpicia and let herself be embraced by the warrior queen.”I missed you to mom.”

“Mom?”Arthenodora asked in surprise.

“It just slipped out.I don’t have to call you that if you don’t like it.”Bella wasn’t sure why she said it.It was out before she had a chance to think about what she was saying.

“No, it’s perfectly fine.I would be honored for you to call me mom.As would the other two queens.”Athenodora reassured her as she buried her face in Bella hair to conceal the venom tears that filled her eyes.She was so overwhelmed with to many emotions to pin point a single one.Happiness, pride, relief, love were just a few that were fighting to come forward.

Didyme let the pair have there moment before she spoke.She was happy for her mate that Bella was comfortable enough to call her mom.Although jealous that Sulpicia got to cuddle Bella and Bella had called Athenodora mom first the queen was just happy that Bella wasn’t rejecting the bonds.”I think we need to discuss our new guest.”

“Of course.”Athenodora cleared her throat and pulled Bella to take a seat on the couch next to her.She smiled when Bella reached for Didyme to sit with them.

“What exactly happened?”Rosalie asked.She knew that Bella would be pulled in many directions having so many bond mates and although annoyed with the queens knew it was only far that they get time with Bella as well.It helped that Rosalie knew what it was like to be forced to be away from Bella to emphasis with the queens when Bella had been away from them for the week and half they were occupied.

Sulpicia moved to the couch and picked Bella up and put her on Didyme lap and sat next to the pair with Athenodora on the other side them.”He approached the guards a couple hours ago.He claimed that like you he broke through the sire bond and as soon as he could came to us because he overheard Carlisle say that you and Bella were in Italy.”

“He made no mention of Victoria though so we assume Carlisle doesn’t know about the second mate bond.”Didyme told them as she adjusted Bella so the newborn was cuddled close to not only her but her two mates as well.

“He definitely doesn’t know about the four sire bonds.”Tanya was happy they had changed Bella at the villa so no-one would have anyway to know who actually sired Bella.”Since we came to the castle after Bella was changed it’s impossible to know unless we tell someone.”

“Which we will not.”Victoria didn’t want them to lose any advantage they had even if it was small.

“Other than that what else did he say?”Bella asked.

“He wants protection from Carlisle in return for him telling us everything he knows.As it is not common knowledge that I have a gift I assume he thinks that he has a bargaining chip.”Sulpicia said.

“The problem with that is even with her gift Sulpicia would not be able to see anything to do with sire commands.”Anthendora turned her attention to Rosalie.”That’s why we called for the three of you.You know Emmett better than we do.You would be able to tell if he is acting normally or not.”

“Also with Bella’s gift she would be able to protect you in case this is some kind of trap.”Didyme quickly added when she felt Bella stiffen.

“I would like to see Emmett again but I honestly don’t think that Carlisle would be careless enough for him to allow Emmett to break the sire command.Especially after I got away with Bella.I’m thinking that this is some kind of move on Carlisle’s part.”Rosalie wished she could claim otherwise but in her heart she knew that Emmett was simply a pawn in Carlisle’s game.

“We think the same thing.It’s our belief that Carlisle sent Emmett because you are the most friendly with him.His hope most likely being that your trust of Emmett will somehow give Carlisle the chance to contact you to implant a sire command to force you and Bella to come to him.”Sulpicia explained.

“It makes sense.The sire command can be enforced through one’s voice so if Carlisle was able to get you to hear him he would gain control.”Kate mused.Not that she would let that happen.Rosalie was her sister and Kate protected her family.No way was she going to let Carlisle anywhere near Rosalie.

“Was he searched?”Victoria asked.

Didyme nodded.”A full cavity search was done as well as sending him through a scanner to see if something was implanted in him.He was all clear.”

“The main problem I see is that Carlisle lived in the castle for over a hundred years when the kings were in charge.During that time he was one of their most trusted confidants.He has a better understanding of the castle than even we do because the kings kept us very secluded and we were not allowed to roam around.We didn’t make them tell us every secret the castle holds before they were killed.Carlisle could have a way to enter the castle undetected with the help of Emmett that we don’t know about.”Athenodora hated the fact that their enemy may have a way to breach their stronghold.

“That’s not good.”Irina wished they were back in Alaska because at least they knew the area as they had lived there for centuries.

“So that means we have to worry about not only Emmett but any of Carlisle’s allies that live in castle.”Rosalie didn’t like learning this information.She thought the castle was safe but now she was learning it wasn’t.

“Yes, however we have picked out some of the elite guard that were involved with cleaning house when the kings were killed that will be shadowing the three of you.”Sulpicia told them.

“How do we know we can trust them?”Victoria didn’t want to trust Bella and Rosalie’s safety with strangers but they didn’t really have a choice.

“The ones we picked were under the influence of Chelsea.Three of them were being forced into false mates bonds.One was even kept away from their mate so they have no reason to align with Carlisle.”Athenodora had hand picked them because of their loyalty.

“That’s good.”Tanya felt relieved that Bella would have such good protection.As her newborn it was Tanya’s priority to keep Bella safe.

“With that said we should meet with Emmett.”Although reluctant Didyme stood up and put Bella on the floor.She smiled brightly when Bella snuggled into her when she was on her feet.

“What is going to happen is when we get to the throne room I want the three Denali to stand with the guards.”Athenodora began only to be cut off by Kate.

“No way we are standing with Bella.”Kate wasn’t going to let Bella stand more than an arm’s reach away from her.

“Kate.”Tanya scolded.She didn’t want Kate to push the queens and have them forbidden from being in the room at all.

“It’s alright.”Athenodora assured her.”If you had let me finished you would have heard me say that I want the three of you to stand with the guards next to the thrones because Bella and her mates will be standing next to each of our thrones.”

“Oh, yeah we could do that.”Kate would prefer to stand next to Bella but standing next to the thrones would make it so they could get to Bella in time if something happened.

“I want the three of you near us for numerous reason but the most important is that Sulpicia is going to have to touch Emmett.If he tries something then my hope is Bella will be able to disable him as Jane won’t be there because she is on a mission right now that she can not be pulled from.”Jane was dealing with a newborn problem that Athenodora and her mates found highly suspicious.The timing of the incident was a little too close to Carlisle sending people to Alaska to be a coincidence.

“I’ll keep you all safe.”Bella promised.Even if her gift failed Bella would fight tooth and nail to make sure nobody got hurt.

Didyme cooed at how cute Bella was when she was in protective mode.Not able to help herself she pinched Bella’s cheek.”I know you will sweetheart.We believe in you.”

“Thank you mother.”Bella stole another hug from Didyme.

“I believe in you as well.”Sulpicia said hoping to get the title of mother.She wasn’t disappointed.

“I know you do mom.”Bella would have to figure out different names for each of her mothers.She would think of it later maybe the others could help her.

Athenodora smiled at the happiness she felt through her bond with her mates.Before Bella came along the queen thought that she would never be as happy as she was with her mates.Now with Bella there and accepting the bonds that happiness grew tenfold and Athenodora couldn’t wait until this nonsense was done with so she could finally get some time to bond with her daughter.”Since everyone knows their roles let get this done with.”

“Yeah the sooner we finish the sooner we can go back to what we were doing.”Victoria said.

“We will see about that.”Didyme hoped that when they were done with Emmett she would get a chance to spend time with her daughter.Holding back a growl as she followed the group out the door she cursed Carlisle for all his stupidity.If it weren’t for Carlisle they would have a chance to enjoy their time with Bella without having the constant anxiety something was going to happen to the newborn.His involvement may have sped up them meeting Bella but the queen knew that an introduction would have been made eventually as fate wouldn’t keep them apart.As the doors to the throne room were being opened by a guard member Didyme vowed that she wouldn’t rest until everyone of the people aligned with Carlisle in his scheme to overthrow them was killed.It was after all a mother’s duty to make sure their child was safe and Bella wouldn’t be safe until Carlisle and his allies are dead.
