Bella MacLeod's Twilight Fanfiction

Protecting Maddie

By BetterInTexas

Chapter 30:

“Bella I don’t give a goddamn if they are Mates. I didn’t paw at you on the ground when I first met you.”

“I’m serious. You don’t want to fuck with this guy. Maddie? Maddie baby, it’s Mommy. Get of the vampire sweetie. Please?”

“Listen you…” Peter started. Not helping.

“Stop! Jasper hold him back if you have too. I can handle this.”

Bella walked up to Maddie who was now currently on top of blondie. She was pulling her shirt off.

“Madison Weber! Get off the vampire now!” Bella screamed. That seemed to get through to her.

“Mommy, he’s mine. I want him. Can I keep him? Please?”

“Maddie, you don’t even know his name. It’s Alex by the way.”

“Alexander.” Blondie said looking up finally while his hands rose to her…

“You touch her there and I swear to God I will kill you.”

Blondie or Alex or whatever the fuck his name was, stopped his hands and then smiled at me.

“Of course. Forgive me. I just… In 2300 years I have never felt like this much passion for a woman I had just met.”

Whoa.

Wait.

“How fucking old did you just say you were?” I asked, making sure I didn’t hear that wrong. I knew I hadn’t but that little fact refused to sink in. My little girl was being molested by a guy older than the fucking pyramids.

“Well I was turned when I was thirty. Somewhere around what you would call 320 BC.

“Holy shit.” Bella whispered.

“She is 18. 18 fucking years old! Do you realize that? 18 motherfucker!”

“Calm down. Maddie would you please get off the hot vampire NOW!”

Hot?

“Yes Mom.” Maddie rolled her eyes and kissed him on more time. Her hand was traveling to his… oh hell no.

“Maddie!”

Maddie threw up her hands. “Sorry Mom, Sorry. But I mean, c’mon. I mean he is hot and he saved you and everything and I seriously just want to fuck his brains out.”

“MADDIE!” all four of us yelled at once.

Blondie backed up.

“Wait here, my dear Maddie.” He was staring at her like she was naked. Come to think of it she nearly was.

“Maddie, please pull your shirt down.”

“I want him Mom.”

“I know you do, sweetie. And you can have him. Eventually.”

In a couple hundred years if I had anything to say about it.

“But first we need to get out of here, okay?”

“Alexander, you will come with me right?”

“Anywhere Maddie.”

Great. Blondie was looking at her with lovesick eyes. I wonder how hard they would be to burn them out of his fucking skull.

Bella was glaring at me.

“Don’t even think about it. He just killed 14 vampires in two seconds. Literally.” Bella whispered. At least she had an arm around Maddie’s waist and was slightly pulling her away from the Gap model.

“That’s not really fair now. You killed one of them my lovely lady. And a fine kill it was. Straight for the throat. You remind me of my mother.”

“She does? Your mother killed people?” Who the fuck was this guy?

“She killed several. She was very protective of me. If she thought someone would stand in our way or they could possibly harm me they usually died of natural causes very quickly. I loved her very much.”

“Well you and Maddie are certainly soul mates then.” Both of them had unnatural attachments to their mothers. And their mother’s had unnatural attachments to them. Great.

“So you are Maddie’s mother? Of course! I see the resemblance. I thought you might be sisters. Both of you are incredibly beautiful. Strong Women. Outstanding.”

Bella was smiling.

“Thanks…” I can’t believe she is falling for this shit.

“Can we get out of here? I’m sure when those vampires don’t come back with my Mate, Aro is going to send more. I’m really not in the mood to fight an entire Volturi army with my wife and my daughter here.”

“Relax Peter, we can certainly destroy them if they interrupt us.”

“Yeah, I know but that’s not the point… hey, how the fuck did you know my name?” I turned and looked at Jasper who also had the same look on his face. He was tensed for a fight. I don’t give a damn if this ancient motherfucker thought he was Maddie’s mate. He seems dangerous, then I kill him. Simple as that. He tried to treat her as less than a lady, I kill him. I am basically looking for any reason to kill him. He was dangerous. Every cell in my body screamed that I needed to kill him.

“I have seen you in action before. You and the famous Major Whitlock behind you. During the Southern Wars. I was impressed. I have never seen two stronger fighters than the two of you. You were quite the force. Beautiful to watch. When the two of you left with that blonde with magnificent breasts, I grew bored with the wars and left. It broke my heart a little. So you are married to Maddie’s mother?”

“Yeah…”

“What do you mean you watched the Southern Wars?” Jasper asked.

“It’s what I do. A hobby, if you will. I have to keep up with the times. I enjoy watching wars first hand. That’s why I was here. I was curious if that idiot Aro planned to make any moves in the near future. If not I planned to take a holiday to Antarctica for a few weeks. Relax. Swim. Play with the Killer Whales. Have a little fun.”

Maddie was trying to get back to him. Alice and Bella pulled her back. They were losing ground though. We needed to move.

“How do you watch wars without being seen?”

“Easily Major. You live a couple thousand years you pick up a few tricks. I have seen mated vampires before. I see two pair before me now. I never thought I would find my own. I thought I would wander for eternity alone…”

“You still might…” I reminded him.

“Oh I’m afraid not. I will never leave Maddie. I couldn’t now. You understand Peter. You have your mate.”

“I think Peter is right. We need to leave. Why don’t we run over the border into France and get a hotel? We can get this all settled okay?” Bella. The voice of reason. Fucking Secretary of State. I loved her but she didn’t understand sometimes a guy needed an ass kicking to remind him of his place. And this guy definitely need an ass kicking. Any good will he had generated by saving Bella got thrown out the window when my daughter started dry humping him.

“Can I ride on Alexander’s back, Mom?”

“No Maddie, you can’t.”

“His front?”

“No Maddie.”

What the hell? Bella must be turned on by this guy. She sure smelled… oh shit that’s not Bella. Oh damn. That’s disturbing.

Bella and Alice grabbed Maddie and they took off running. Jasper and I followed. I didn’t give a fuck about Blondie.

Of course I wasn’t surprised when he beat us to the outskirts of Paris.

“An excellent race!”

“We weren’t racing, Alex.” I told him. I wasn’t jealous. If it had been a race his ass would have been choking on my dust.

We checked into a hotel room and snuck Bella in since she was kinda dirty from her run in with the Volturi. I still can’t believe that got so fucked up. She told us about it on the run. We now knew where Garrett and Char were. Our theory on the Cullens was confirmed. It wasn’t worth the price she almost paid. Alice got us a suite, of course.

We sat down on the big circle couch.

“Okay. Who the fuck are you?”

Maddie was practically in his lap. My 18 year old daughter was molesting an ancient vampire.

“Maddie!”

She jerked her hands back. “Sorry, Peter.”

“As I told you my name is Alexander. I was turned two and a half thousand years ago. I was a king in Macedonia. I…”

“”Holy shit.” Jasper whispered.

“What?” What am I missing here?

“You’re Alexander the Great.”

BPOV

Alexander smirked a little.

“Yes, that is one of the names I am known by. But seriously, just call me Alexander. I insist.”

Holy shit. Alexander the Great? My little 18 year old virgin daughter was mated to Alexander the Fucking Great. Super.

“You mean you are that Alexander the Great? He died of some unknown ill…” Peter replied before stopping.

“Yes, a Persian vampire was quite upset with me for conquering his country. He turned me, expecting me to be his slave, his weapon. Unfortunately for him, I bow to no man. I never have and I never will. I killed him three days after I woke up. I went to my palace, faked an illness, and then “died.” The only hard part was not draining my men. But I loved them all too much. We had spilled too much blood together for me to ever consider taking theirs. They deserved to die on the battle field. We deserved to die together in battle. But it was not to be. The body in the tomb was not mine. I rose from my death bed before my burial and replaced my body with that of a stable boy who had died when a horse kicked him in the chest the day before my funeral. He looked like me near enough to fool my men in death. Do you know that idiot Caligula stole my breast plate from the tomb? Off what he thought was my preserved body? I swear he was bat shit crazy.”

“So what have you done since then?” I asked. I mean this guy was a major figure in history. The things he must have done… seen…

“Oh, I hang out mostly. Try to stay current with the times. Read a lot. Travel a lot. I’ve never been defeated in World of Warcraft or Call of Duty. I play online quite a bit. Observe wars when there is a really good one to watch. Lately, I have been keeping an eye on Aro. I still can’t believe that idiot has gathered so much power. It’s unbelievable. Hitler was a lot like Aro. An evil sadistic moron but still capable of so much damage. I think this time he has bitten off more than he can chew. The Romanians look strong. I’m giving them 2 to 1 odds.”

“Okay then…”

“Let’s get to the part about why you are molesting a girl who is approximately 2300 years younger than you.” Peter said. He was not happy.

“He is mated to her, Peter. I’ve seen the connection.”

“Alice? Peter asked looking at her in hopes that I was wrong. As if.

“It’s true Peter.”

The look on his face was heart breaking. I think he thought he would have her for a few more decades. I did too.

“You are telling me in all this time you never had a mate?” he asked.

“Nope. I never have. But now I do. So if you don’t mind I would like to take my Mate to my home in Egypt and get to know her better. I’m not sure if you know this but there is a city named after me there. I know. I named it. We used to have the most outstanding Library.”

“Mom can we go? I want to go to Egypt, Mom. I won’t be able to get sick this time.”

“I was thinking of maybe the two of us going alone, Maddie.” Alexander told her. He must be confused.

“Oh.”

Yeah, like that was going to happen. He wasn’t taking my baby anywhere.

“I don’t go anywhere without Mom.”

“I’m sorry. What was that?”

“You heard me. You may be my Mate but me and my Mom stick together. Wherever we go, we go together. That’s a deal breaker.”

That’s my girl.

“Are you serious?”

“Yeah, she is serious. Trust me. You can’t separate them no matter how bad you want too…” Peter commented rolling his eyes. I gave him a dirty look. He looked away. He knows better.

“Well, I can certainly appreciate being devoted to your mother. I mean I was certainly devoted to mine. I guess I will be hanging out with your coven for a while. Who is the leader of this coven anyway? The Major?”

“We aren’t a coven. We are a family. We don’t have a leader. We have each other.” I told him. May as well make this clear to him.

“Well I guess I will be part of the family. Outstanding. I, of course, will lead us.”

“Whoa whoa whoa, there cowboy. You are gonna want to hold up on that shit. We just said we don’t have a leader. We are family. You want to hang around my girl there are going to be some ground rules.” I didn’t think Peter was going to get along with Alexander.

“Ground rules? I don’t do rules. I told you who I am.”

“Yeah? Well maybe I need to show you who I am.” Peter stood up. We really didn’t need to draw attention to ourselves. The kind of attention that destroying a hotel would cause.

“I know exactly who you are Peter. As I said you are an amazing fighter. I have great respect for your abilities in war. But you aren’t known to the whole world as Peter the Great are you?”

“Hey fuck you, you pretty boy sumbitch. You may have conquered the known world but you ain’t had my boot up your ass yet!” Peter stood up. I stood up and got in front of him. Alexander stood up. Maddie stood in front of Alexander. She put her hands on his chest. And they were moving lower.

“Maddie!” Not the time Maddie.

Peter was getting very angry.

“Sorry Mom.”

“Look can we all sit down and talk in a calm manner? We obviously have some things to work out.”

“You can’t hurt him, Alexander.” Maddie whispered.

“Of course I can Maddie. No vampire in the world can…”

“If you hurt him, it hurts me. If not for Peter, my Mom and I would be long dead or worse now. You will respect him. He is a father to me in every way that matters.”

Alexander did not look happy about this revelation. I was proud of Maddie. Even if she was turning into a hormonal nymphomaniac before my eyes she kept family first.

“Okay. I apologize. I’m not usually this much of an ass. I promise. But this mating thing. It’s bringing out strange emotions in me. This woman…”

“Girl.”

“Woman, Peter.” Maddie replied glaring at him.

“I have never had this happen. I’m not exactly used to new experiences. Forgive me Bella, Peter.”

“Of course Alexander.” Damn he was charming. Peter didn’t look impressed.

We all sat back down. Jasper was still staring in wonder at Alexander. If I read his mind he would probably be thinking about how to ask for an autograph. Jasper was big into military history.

“So tell me Bella? What were you doing in the Volturi Castle?”

“I was getting powers. Unfortunately the vampires I wanted were not there.”

“The witch twins?”

“Yes.”

“So you can absorb others powers. Fascinating.”

“I can too!” Maddie spoke up quickly.

“Very impressive Maddie.” Alexander smiled at her. They were holding hands now. Great. “What sort of music do you like to listen to?”

“I like hip hop, rap…”

“I love rap music.”

“You love rap music?” Jasper asked with doubt in his voice.

“Of course. I wish we had it when we were fighting the Persians. It would have made a nice background noise to slaughter them by. All we had though was the sound of those stupid drums they beat and the roar of the elephants.”

Speaking of slaughtering.

“What do you feed on?” I had to ask. I mean I had nothing against human eating vampires for the most part. Hell, Garrett and Char used to be before Maddie guilt tripped them into animals. But I would be damned if my daughter was going to be one.

“I feed on blood, Bella. Same as you.”

“Animal or humans? Your eyes are sort of a mix.”

“Well the last time I fed was one hundred years ago. It was a human. He was a particularly evil man who was petty in his dealings with others. I didn’t like him but he did tasted delicious. Fifty years before that I fed on a lion. Quite a large one. Probably why my eyes are a mixture as you say.”

“Did you just say you fed one hundred years ago?”

“Give or take ten years. I don’t actually put it in my diary.”

“How do you get away with feeding once every hundred years?” Jasper whispered, fascinated.

“You have a diary?” Maddie asked.

“The older you get the less you need to feed. I am very old. And no Maddie, that was a joke. I don’t have a diary.”

“Which brings us to our next point. Maddie is very young.” Peter commented.

“She seems to be grown in my eyes.”

“You try to fuck her and I will end your existence.”

“PETER!” Maddie and I both yelled at the same time.

“Just layin out the truth here, darlin. Maddie, you don’t even know him.”

“Yeah well, you didn’t know my mother when you first met her but it didn’t take you long, did it?”

Ouch.

“Not the same Maddie. Your Mom was a grown woman and I was…”

“Two hundred years older than her?”

“Not the point. You keep missing the point. Why can’t you get the damn point? Maybe if you would get your head out of the damn gutter…”

“Peter, she is a newborn.”

“Really? How long?” Alexander asked.

“Couple of months.”

“Amazing.”

“Yes, she is, isn’t she?” I smiled at my daughter with pride. She hadn’t been tempted by the humans in the hotel at all…

“Don’t get excited Bella. The only reason she isn’t going after humans is because she has stronger urges on her mind.” Jasper commented.

I shot the finger at him. She was doing great.

“So are we going to hang out in the hotel all afternoon? I haven’t been in France in a while. I would like to take Maddie around the city if that is alright. I think I saw a sign for an indoor pool and hot tub when we came in. That would be fun. Maddie do you have a swimsuit?”

“She hasn’t been around humans that long Alexander…”

“Yeah, take her around the city. We will be right there with you. You are not taking her anywhere without one or more of us there.” Peter responded.

“A chaperone? I am to woo her? What is this, the Victorian Age?” Alexander smirked.

“Yeah, you are going to fucking woo her.”

“Actually we kinda need to get to Romania. Our friends are being held there and we need to break them out.” Jasper said bringing us back to the whole reason we were here.

“Seriously? Outstanding! I haven’t had much fun the last few hundred years. Let us go kill some Romanians!” Alex was smiling. Oh boy. Maddie got another Peter with a slight European accent and a few thousand years on him.

“Bella can I talk to you in private? Jasper do not let her… no, you know what? Maddie come with us. All three of us need to talk. Now.”

Maddie reluctantly pulled away from Alexander and we walked to the bedroom. Peter slammed the door behind us.

“Everyone whisper. This is between us okay?”

We both nodded.

“Maddie, you need to keep your hands off of him. You are acting like a harlot.”

“A harlot?”

“Yes.”

“Isn’t that a fancy word for a whore?” she asked.

“No!”

“I think it is Peter.” Yep, pretty sure it is.

“I didn’t mean it like that Bella. Listen if this guy is your mate, God help us, then I realize you two can’t be kept apart. But Jesus Christ girl, make him work for it!”

“I want him! Why are you standing in my way Peter? I didn’t try to stop you from being with Mom.”

“Yes you did!”

“Not really. I told you once before, if I had wanted you gone you would have been gone.”

“Maddie, I can’t just let you throw yourself at him.”

“Why not? It’s not your business!”

I should probably get involved in this conversation. Peter wouldn’t let me though.

“Maddie, I heard you tell your Mom once that you thought your Dad sent me to take care of you and your Mom. I don’t know if this is true or not, but I like to think it is. I don’t want to let him down by standing aside and letting you throw yourself at some guy you just met, mate or not. I may die one day. I could be killed. Especially considering the shit storms we get ourselves into. If it ever happens I would hope that I have done enough good to balance out the evil I have done and God let’s me into Heaven. When I get there I want to look your father in the eyes, shake his hand and tell him I did the best I could.”

Damn.

Maddie had tears in her eyes. So did I. They wouldn’t fall but they were there. She ran a hand across her eyes and looked at Peter.

“I’m sorry Peter. I just…”

“I know kid. You have had a lot thrown at you. Being a newborn and now having a Mate thrown at you. But you got to have the same discipline with him that you have with blood. He has to show you respect and love, not just lust. When he does both, I will happily stand aside and not get into your way. But wait. Don’t be in a hurry.” Peter wrapped her in a hug.

“Okay.” Maddie whispered.

She took his hand and they walked back into the living room area.

God, I loved this man.

I followed them in and saw Jasper engaged in some sort of conversation with Alexander. Alice looked at me and smiled. I guess she saw the conversation. She had glistening eyes too. Maddie sat by her and laid her head on Alice’s shoulder.

Alexander stood up.

“So. Are we going to go kill some Romanian scum or what? I’ve never invaded Romania. This should be fun.”

Yeah, he and Maddie are going to get along great.

“Alice, I guess you need to get another private jet. We are heading to Transylvania.”

“Oh good. I have the perfect dress for you picked out Bella! It will be perfect for Transylvania. I can get Maddie and I dresses that will nearly match you. We are going to look so cool! I will go shopping right now! Jasper get the jet arranged. I have work to do!”

Shit.
