You would think being dominant meant I'd be nice to my submissives. Unfortunately, that could never actually happen. Being nice would mean that I'd have to express feelings. I can't allow myself to show weakness like that. It pained me to see Harry so scared of me. Maybe more than it should have.

"My Lord?"

I sighed. "We can resume this meeting another day."

The Death Eaters from my inner circle bowed and left. I leaned back in my chair and sighed. I was unable to focus on the task at hand. Harry and I were connected more than just as mates because he was the missing piece. My last surviving Horcrux.  I closed my eyes and attempted to reach Harry. His mind was closed off to me, but I could tell it wasn't exactly by choice.

"That little brat." I grumbled.

I left the study and made my way to Draco's room. It wasn't hard finding it since my urge to run to my mates grew stronger the closer I got. I opened the door only to find two black wings draped over the bed. "Had Draco always had those?" I shook the thought from my mind as I walked over to the bed.

Draco's head lifted off of the bed and he glared at me. Although I couldn't see it I could tell he was pulling Harry closer to him. Draco's wings even turned a strange shade of red. I rolled my eyes and then glared at Draco. My warning to him not to disobey me. His submission to me was met with some resistance, but he ultimately retracted his wings. He hadn't let go of Harry yet and it took me a minute to realise that Harry was the curled up ball of fuzz in front of him.

"Harry?"

No response.

"Harry."

The ball twitched but still ignored me.

"Harry!"

I was met with angry green eyes that was honestly a shock. Harry hissed and jumped off of the bed. Before I could do anything else he disappeared under the bed. I rolled my eyes and turned to Draco. Draco just shrugged at me.

"He's mad at me?" I asked.

"Yep."

"And scared of me?"

"Yep. But more mad than scared." Draco shrugged and then mumbled. "So am I honestly."

"Has he been like that since..."

Draco nodded before I even finished my question. I wasn't in the mood for games, but Draco had no reason to lie to me. Besides that, he was clearly upset about something other than my earlier reaction. I sighed and laid down next to Draco. I think it was out of instinct when he moved closer to me. He hesitated before curling up into my side and resting his head on my chest.

"He hasn't spoken to you either, huh?"

"Nope. How you found him is how he stayed since we left you." Draco sighed and attempted to bury his face in me.

I found it strange that he never once looked up into my eyes. It made me somewhat upset if I was honest. I wrapped my arm around Draco and he snuggled closer to my side. I felt his body relax a bit and he let out a soft sigh. His sudden calmness from me holding him made my heart skip a beat.

"Why were you upset with me?" I asked.

"It doesn't matter now." Draco hummed softly.

"I want to know why." I demanded.

"You used your power over us because you were angry. That's not right, and Harry hasn't said a word to me since." Draco's voice sounded broken almost. "I was basically left alone and it's not a very nice feeling. Especially when your mate is right next to you. Why did you have to be such an asshole?"

I noticed a piece of fluff sticking over the edge of the bed and smiled a bit. Draco was right though, I was an asshole. I didn't want to get my emotions involved, but I did just that when I had sent them away. I hadn't realised that until now. Maybe showing how I felt now would fix things?

"I... I'm sorry." I questioned more than stated.

Draco's head shot up and he looked at me. "Don't say something you don't mean."

"I truly am." I shrugged and ran my hand through his hair. "I didn't think it would..."

Draco swatted my hand away and sat up completely. I missed his warmth against me almost immediately. I could tell his own anger was getting the better of him. His eyes flashed red and his wings shot out. They were a deep shade of red, almost black. I was kind of impressed by his appearance.

"Firstly, you put a block on Harry. Which, by the way, and for your information, caused him to live his life in pain because he couldn't do anything he wanted without having to deal with a migraine. Then you don't even bother to check up on him. After all that he still forgives you! And you decide the first thing to do is abuse your power over us. All you can say is "I'm sorry." And not even mean it! You are so fucking selfish!" Draco turned away from me and wrapped himself in his wings.

I sighed and pulled Draco towards me. I had to admit he was kind of cute when he was angry. Draco didn't put up much resistance but I could feel how upset he was. Besides, he was still wrapped up like a cocoon in his wings. The little ball of fuzz seemed to grow a bit and I was sure Draco hadn't noticed it. I didn't want to acknowledge it yet either.

"Knock knock?"

Draco's wings dropped from around his face and he frowned at me. Although they still didn't drop completely.

"Come on. I thought that was at least a little funny." I shrugged.

Draco shook his head. "Not even a little."

"Put your wings away, would you. I can't very well get comfortable holding a cocoon."

Draco nodded, yawned and retracted his wings. Harry meowed next to me and I smiled at him. Draco held out a hand and Harry curled up next to him, on my chest. I rand my fingers through Harry's fur and I heard him purr. A more genuine smile crept over my face as both my mates seemed much happier.

*~*~*~*~* Change POV *~*~*~*~*

I never thought Tom had a good side, even if Harry did. I would have never believed he was capable of smiling either. Being a vampire means I have a heightened sense of everything around me. It's even more prominent with my mates. So much so, that just touching them allows me to feel their every emotion and sense their expressions without looking at them.

When Tom apologized I knew he was just saying it. When he wanted me to put my wings away I could feel he was genuinely upset. When he smiled at Harry the first time it was more of a triumphant smile than a genuinely happy smile. When I held Harry I could tell he was no longer angry or scared. He was happy, and even more so when Tom petted him. The final thing that rushed through my mind was my own happiness that Tom could actually be happy with us.

I woke up with a startle when it suddenly felt cold. Tom was gone and so was Harry. My heart sunk as I curled up into a ball and covered myself with my wings. I felt so stupid.

"Dray? What's wrong?"

My head shot up. "H... Harry?"

Harry smiled at me. "You seem upset."

"I... I was." I sighed.

"Thought we would just leave you?"

I huffed at Tom but nodded anyway.

"Harry needed clothes so that's where we went to." Tom said in a surprisingly gentle tone.

I was even more surprised when Tom sat down next to me. He ruffled my hair and pulled me close to him. I didn't move at first, but then I retracted my wings and hugged him, trying to bury my face in his chest. Harry whined in protest to being left out and Tom actually genuinely chuckled.

"Now be good and don't come barging in on my meeting today." Tom said sternly as he pulled away from us.

He kissed my cheek and kissed Harry on the forehead before getting up and leaving. Harry pouted and sat down in front of me. I pulled him into a hug and he started crying.

"I thought we changed his mind."

"He's an asshole." I grumbled.

Harry smiled a bit and snuggled up to me. He was still sobbing, but his breathing was more or less evening out. I didn't say anything else as I held Harry in my arms. I smirked a little as an idea grew in my mind. I couldn't exactly disobey Tom, but I definitely could make him feel like shit for being selfish.

"Harry?" Harry hummed in response. "What do you say we force Tom's hand?"

Harry looked up at me and frowned. "What do you mean?"

I shrugged. "I mean... We're all connected as mates and what we feel he is bound to feel too right? So let's make him feel like crap for being selfish."

"You're not suggesting..."

"I'm suggesting that we force him away from his plans. Make him focus more on us." I shrugged.

"You're going to do something stupid aren't you?" Harry frowned at me.

Harry was right and considering we knew each other a lot better than either of us knew Tom, well Harry knew he couldn't talk me out of it. I kissed Harry on the forehead and apologized. He frowned at me and I froze him in place. I wasn't going to let him follow me and I know he would have tried to.

I could tell Harry was struggling under the spell. It pained me a bit but I had to do something. I made my way through the Manner making sure that I passed by every single door. Honestly, I don't just pass them, I went into the rooms and messed things up badly. I stopped just outside of the study and concentrated my energy on my father. I showed him images of the rooms and I flashed a smirk. As expected, my father did not have a very pleasant reaction.

"Draco! You useless child." My father yelled and stood up.

I had already entered the room using my vampire ability to stay in the shadows. I saw Tom stand up and slam his desk. My heart sunk for a moment as I feared for my father.

"Don't. You. Ever. Say. That." Tom growled out.

My father stopped in his tracks and apologized. Tom still looked pissed off as ever. He was still glaring at my father as my father left the room. The rest of them quickly followed suit and left Tom alone. He sighed and dropped into his seat, eyes closed.

"Impressive. I didn't think you had it in you." I smirked as Tom went rigid and opened his eyes.

"Draco, why..."

"You might just want to go see for yourself." I shrugged. "Anyway. Got to go."

"Draco!"

I had faded back into the shadows and moved fast enough that Tom hadn't realised that I simply moved behind him.

"Draco! Where are you going? It's almost dawn!" Tom yelled.

His yell was quickly drowned out by a few others. I smirked and really left Tom alone this time. He was right though, I haven't eaten in a while and the sun was coming up. If I was caught in the open I would be at risk of actually dying. My plan was pointless if I didn't risk everything to force Tom's hand though.

The damage I had made would take at least 3 days to fix. Tom would have 3 days to figure out what he wanted more. His mates or his war. All I had to do was survive for the time being. I was silently hoping that he wouldn't take too long to decide because I wasn't sure how long I would last outside without proper food.

*~*~*~*~* Change POV *~*~*~*~*

I was stunned, to say the least. Draco had actually pushed me into a corner. When his presence left my reach I had no choice to go looking. He had all but destroyed  Malfoy Manner. I had figured he had retreated back to his room so that's where I went. Only I didn't find Draco, but a frozen Harry. I sighed and undid the spell. Almost immediately Harry turned into his kitten form and retreated under the bed.  I didn't have time for this. Draco was seriously walking on thin ice with me.

"Fucking bastard." I growled and left the room. 

I walked to the least destroyed room and repaired it. Moving one room at a time to worse and worse rooms. My power was drained by the fifth room. I almost collapsed to the ground and if it wasn't for Lucius and Severus I most likely would have. They took me to Draco's room which actually surprised me.

"Yeah, I know." Lucius deadpanned. "He doesn't listen to me and I am aware of his creature."

"Harry?" I managed to say.

"I don't know..." Severus stopped mid-sentence.

"Harry."

A soft whine came from under the bed. Harry wasn't coming out and I knew it. I just wanted him to be next to me though. Severus and Lucius stared at each other.

"Harry, come out will you."

I was answered with a hiss and an angry meow. I sighed and tried to reach under the bed. My hand was swatted and scratched in protest. I didn't understand what was wrong with him. All I wanted was my little kitten.

"Harry! Get out from there and talk!" I demanded.

The kitten version of Harry struggled against my command as he crawled out. He hissed at me and meowed in pain. I remembered that he would be standing in from of Lucius and Severus naked in a second if I didn't do something. Harry was fighting his transformation and my command because he knew what was going to happen.

"Severus. Cover him. Now." I said.

I couldn't move because I was still drained of energy. Severus frowned and I glared at him. He did what I said although with noted protest. A second later we all heard a relieved sigh. Harry's head popped out from the blanket and he glared at me.

"Now what happened."

"This is your fault. You selfish prick. Just leave me alone!" Harry's voice cracked and he whimpered.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Nothing. Just... Just leave me. Just Go! Like Dray did." Harry sobbed and shook his head.

"Harry..." I stopped as Harry changed back.

He dashed under the bed again before I could catch him. I sighed and sent Lucius and Severus away. I didn't say anything as I laid on the bed. An empty feeling filled me because neither of my mates were by me.

It had taken me a full day to recover from my energy drain, but I took an extra day to rest more. Harry still hadn't come out from under the bed. Not even to eat and that worried me. The other rooms were still in the process of being repaired. And Draco was nowhere to be seen.

I was extra moody and pretty much snapped at everyone. I couldn't understand why my mates would do this. I never treated them badly... Again. I apologized for the time that I did. I was trying not to think about it so much though. I had meetings to dictate over.

"Tom."

Harry's voice surprised me. I looked at him as everyone else looked at me and then him. He stepped forward and swayed.

"Tom. I don't feel..." Harry stumbled forward again. "Something's wrong."

I was out of my chair and in front of Harry faster than I had ever moved. Harry basically collapsed into me. My heart was racing along with my mind. Had I really been the cause of all this?

"Leave. All of you. Now."

Neither of them protested as they left the study. I picked Harry up and went back to my chair. Harry's skin was like fire.

"Harry. Where's Draco?"

"Don't. Know." Harry whined.

I knew that Harry would just get worse the longer he's away from both me and Draco. Being a Neko submissive he was actually going into a heat. If Draco wasn't here there wasn't much I could do on my own. As strange as it sounds, Harry is still angry with me and he has made it clear that he wants nothing from me if Draco isn't here.

"Harry, I'm so sorry. I'll have to leave you for a bit."

"No!" Harry cried. "Please don't."

"I promise I'll be back as soon as possible. I need to go find Draco. It'll be like 5 seconds."

Harry whimpered and nodded his head. I kissed his forehead and set him down on my chair. I walked outside and pulled out a time turner. There was no way I'd be able to find Draco if I just went looking he was already out of reach.

I ducked into a corner as Draco walked out. I was impressed with how he used his shadow ability. A small smile crept onto my face as I followed him. He moved fast and kept to the shadows even as the sun started to rise.

"Draco Lucius Malfoy!" I yelled.

Draco stopped and stared at me with wide eyes. He looked at the sky and then ducked into something. I ran over to where he was and was surprised that there was a hollowed out tree. I walked into it and Draco was just sitting there.

"Expansion charm?"

"Yep. So you made that decision fast."

"No I didn't. Was this your plan all along?"

"Yeah. You were supposed to choose." Draco shrugged.

"Choose what?" I frowned.

"Us or your war." Draco frowned.

I sighed and sat down next to him. "How am I supposed to pick if you never gave me the choice?"

"We did. Harry and I told you to stop and you said never."

"Draco. I don't understand why that is such an issue."

"Can you seriously not see how you're hurting Harry?"

I shrugged. "I can now, but you are hurting him even worse."

Draco frowned. "What? How?"

"I told you that I didn't make a decision? That's the truth. I used a time turner to find you because Harry is in pain. Two days from now he goes into a heat. He doesn't eat for two days and he just stays under the bed in his cat form. The first real time he speaks to me is when he is in pain." I sighed.

"You're lying." Draco huffed.

"I am not. I can only go back in two days because that's how this works. But you can go back now."

"I'm not leaving until you make a choice. Even if it kills me." Draco huffed. "Besides the sun is out now. I'm not stong enough to travel in the day."

"You haven't fed yet have you?"

"Nope."

Draco yawned and curled up next to me. His head rested on my lap. I sighed and ran my fingers through his hair. I was really going to be the cause of my mates' death. I still didn't understand why they were so against what I was doing.

The day passed and night came but Draco didn't wake up. I couldn't say I was surprised. If a vampire doesn't feed every second day they going into a hibernation like sleep. I couldn't go back early that was my main problem.

"I'm sorry Draco. I really am." I sighed.

The next day came and went. I had to be back before dawn and Draco had to be awake. I took my wand and used it to cut my hand. The second my blood touched Draco's lips he sot up. His eyes were red and looked about ready to attack me. He covered his mouth and moved back.

"It's okay. You need to feed. We have to get back." I sighed.

"You haven't made a choice." Draco sighed.

"Do you think I would be here if I haven't made my choice? You and Harry are more important okay. Merlin you're such a dunce. I wouldn't care if it was anyone else okay." I shook my head and sighed. "Now can you please feed so we can get back to our kitten?"

Draco nodded his head. When he was done feeding we left. The walk back seemed longer than it should have. I only realised why when Draco came to support me. That missing piece from my soul was really putting a lot of restrictions on me. Thankfully we got back just in time to see my other self fade into nothing. I smiled a bit and pushed open the door to my study. Harry didn't even wait for us to enter.

"Careful there kitten." I smiled.

"Sorry." Harry purred.

"Maybe we should go up?" Draco shrugged.

Harry jumped onto Draco's back and I had to admit I felt a little jealous. I took Draco's hand and lead the way to his room. As long as I had both my mates I didn't need anything else. We got to Draco's room and then it clicked.

"Harry."

He jumped off of Draco's back and smiled at me. I know I wasn't mistaken about his heat, but there was something else. Something that I didn't really pay attention to earlier.

"Harry, why..."

"I might have drank something bad." Harry stepped back. "I just wanted you to find Dray. Before it got worse."

I sighed. "So you basically poisoned yourself. Harry you shouldn't have done that."

"You needed to find Dray! I'm sorry." Harry cowered back.

I shook my head and hugged him. "You could have just told me you were in heat. I know enough about yours and Draco's creatures to know what will happen to you both."

Harry snuggled into my hug and sighed. Draco stepped closer to us and I pulled away from Harry. We all laid on Draco's bed, Harry in the middle. Draco stretched his wings out and I was a bit taken aback by the colour. They were a light red almost pink colour. Draco looked at his wings and then me.

"They'll turn white if I feed from Harry too. It's like a mark."

I smiled a bit. "So basically you're still my bitch it's just more permanent and prominent now."

Draco huffed and I laughed. He took my hand and looked away from me. I raised our hands and kissed the back of his. Harry was trying really hard not to laugh as well. He turned to Draco and snuggled closer to him. Draco's wing rested over all of us as I pulled them closer to me.

"I... amm... I love you. Both of you." I whispered.
