It's not much, but I have had a lot of requests to update this fic, so here you are.

Friend me on FB Miste Potter

Please review.

Harry watched as Daniel built a castle out of blocks with his twins. It had been four weeks since he brought the teen home and his athair had finally allowed him to leave the couch. He still wasn't allowed to do anything strenuous, but sitting on the floor with two toddlers playing with blocks wasn't considered strenuous.

"He's doing good." Jasper said as he took a seat at the table across from his little brother.

Grinning, Harry nodded his head. "Daniel is a good kid, it's a shame he had to go through what he did. I still can't believe Draco hurt him like that, he's just a boy."

Jasper scowled at the mention of Draco's name. They hadn't told Harry yet, but the elf had been sniffing around the wards for the past week. He couldn't get past the wards, but he had been giving it his best. "Daniel is safe now, he has a home with us and he'll never have to live back out on the streets."

"We just have to tell him he has a home with us." Harry chuckled. They had yet to tell Daniel that his athair and dad were now his guardians, they were giving him a chance to heal and get comfortable with everyone first. His family was a lot to take in, especially seeing as it was made up of angels, demons, elves, vampires, and shape shifters. They weren't a normal family, but they were a loving family and that was all that mattered. Everyone really liked Daniel and they now considered him a member of the family.

"Your athair said that he will be ready to return to school next week." Jasper pointed out. "He's going to need clothes and supplies."

Harry smirked. "Alice is already planning on taking him shopping as soon as my athair gives her the green light."

"Poor kid." Jasper snickered.

Harry nodded his head in agreement, shopping with Alice was an adventure. "I take it he will be traveling back and forth to school with you and Ash?"

Jasper opened his mouth to answer, but froze when he noticed how bad his brother's hands were shaking. "Harry, are you okay?"

Harry clenched his first, aborting his attempt at picking up his glass. His damn hands had been shaking horribly all morning. "Yeah, I'm just still a bit unsettled without Draco. As soon as my bond is completely broken I should get better. Right now my magic is trying to repair the broken bond making it harder for Charlie, Edward and Jacob to ground me."

Jasper reached out and took his brother's shaking hand. "I'm proud of you. These past few months haven't been easy for you, but you're keeping your head up and staying strong."

Harry looked back at his twins and sighed. "I have to stay strong for them and Nitika. If it wasn't for them I would be a hot, crying mess right now. My heart hurts so much, but I know that I'm doing the right thing. Draco is in a dark place right now and I can't help him. What he wants, I can't give him, that's just not me. I'm worried about him, but I'll never be able to accept him back as my mate. What he has done is unforgivable."

Jasper was relieved to hear that, they all had been worried that Harry would break and allow Draco back. It wasn't easy turning a mate away, and impossible in some cases. Luckily for his little brother, Charlie, Edward and Jacob were strong enough to ground him so he technically didn't need Draco. Harry still desperately loved Draco though, he didn't need to be an empath to feel that. He wished that he could take his brother's pain away, but all he could do was be there for him and support him.

Biting his bottom lip, Harry took his eyes off of his babies and Daniel and looked back at his brother. "Before you say no, I need you to listen to me."

"Uh oh, this doesn't sound good." Jasper said tensing.

Harry smiled nervously. "It's not bad," he said weakly, "but I want to see Draco before Chelsea severs our bond."

Jasper's first instinct was to flat out refuse his brother, he didn't want him anywhere near the crazed elf, but he bit his tongue and swallowed his words. Harry was an adult and this was his life and his mateship. "If I agree to this, and that's a big if, I go with you and stay the entire time. I'm not going to leave you alone with him for one second."

Harry's shoulders sagged with relief, he thought for sure that Jasper was going to give him a hard time over seeing Draco. "Believe me, I don't want to be alone with him, but I also need closure. I also need to do it before the bond is severed, not after. I don't know how much severing the bond will affect me and I want to be me when I see him."

Jasper anxiously ran his fingers through his blond hair. "I don't like it, angel, but you're an adult and Draco is your mate. I take it you don't want your athair or your mates knowing about this little trip?"

"Or my grandad." Harry added. Oh, his grandad, athair and mates were going to be furious when they found out, but he needed to do this.

"Ok." Jasper sighed heavily. "I guess tonight it is seeing as Chelsea will be here in two days."

Harry was nervous over seeing Draco again, it seemed liked forever since he walked out on him and the kids. He was so jumbled up and messed up on the inside. He loved Draco, he truly did, but at the same time he hated him with all his heart. He also hated himself for not being able to be the mate that Draco wanted, but deep down he knew that he shouldn't hate himself, it wasn't his fault. What Draco wants he may call BDSM, but it isn't. Draco wants absolute power and to hurt his submissive, he wants to beat on them and dominate them then leave them a bloody mess. That's not BDSM, that's abuse.

As much as he misses Draco, he doesn't miss his smart mouth, his dirty looks, or having to take a pain potion after having sex with him. He could admit to losing himself to Draco's dirty talk and rough ways, but for a long time now Draco had been too rough with him. You shouldn't have to fake sleeping in order to not have sex with your mate, and that was something he had been doing a lot of over the past year and a half. The house also just seemed more relaxed, more peaceful without Draco.

It hurt kicking Draco out of the family, but it was what was best for him and his family, especially for his new little brother. Daniel would never be able to live in the same house as Draco, and right now Daniel needed them. He didn't blame Daniel for his problems with Draco, and he wasn't mad at him for sleeping with his mate, Daniel had just been a scared and desperate boy. Daniel was a good kid desperate for a family, and he wanted to give him that family he desired. After everything he's been through, he needed someone to care for him, and he needed to just be a teenager again.

Groaning, Harry looked up at his laughing brother. "I could have apparated us right to his apartment."

Still laughing, Jasper held his hand out to help his brother up off the floor. "And risk you splinching my nutts off, no thank you."

"Touché!" Harry chuckled as he got to his feet, still feeling a bit dizzy from his trip through the floo. Looking around his sisters shop, he smiled softly when he spotted a little nook behind the counter that had blankets, pillows, and toys. Nitika loved spending time in Alice's and Rose's shop and it warmed his heart to see that his sisters had given his daughter her own little area.

"How far is Draco's apartment from here?" Harry asked wearily as he looked out of the window. It was late, but there were still a few shops open in Seattle's wizarding distract and wizards and witches were still wandering around. He may be mostly comfortable now going out in the muggle world, but the Wizarding World still terrified him. Even though it had been years since he defeated Voldemort, his name was still mentioned in the papers all the time, books were written about him, Harry Potter merchandise was in just about every store, and there was even a damn Chocolate Frog card with his face on it. He had fought the company for over a year refusing their requests to make him into a card, but he finally gave in just to get them off his back. He hated that damn card with a passion and he happily burnt every one that Emmett brought home.

Jasper took his brother's hand and gave it a squeeze, he knew that he was terrified that someone was going to recognize him and swarm him. "Once we exit the alley he's only a twenty minute walk." Harry had been to visit the shops his family owned, but always after hours and he never ventured out into the alley.

Squaring his shoulders, Harry took a deep breath. "Do you promise not to let no of my hand?"

Jasper rolled his eyes. "Do you even have to ask? You know that I have you."

Harry smiled softly as they exited his sisters closed shop. It was amazing that after all these years Jasper was still there for him, his support and loyalty never wavering. "So how long do you think we have before someone comes looking for us?"

"An hour tops, or until your fire demon returns from work. Charlie isn't as gullible as Edward and Jacob, and we just lucked out that your athair had locked himself in the basement to brew. He never would have believed our lie that we were just going to the bookstore."

Harry snickered. "It's a totally believable lie, everyone knows how obsessed you are with books, especially history books. Let's just hope my granddad doesn't flash in to check on me and notice that I'm blocking him again."

Jasper gave Harry's hand a squeeze when they came to Draco's apartment building. "Are you sure about this? It's not to late to turn around and go to the bookstore for real."

Harry could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he gave his brother's suggestion some serious thought. Did he really want to do this, did he really want to see Draco? He didn't even know what he was going to say to Draco.

Jasper waited patiently, he could feel his brother's emotions as they fluctuated from fear, longing, anger, sadness and anticipation.

"Is he in there?" Harry asked nervously.

Jasper cocked his head yo the side as he concentrated. "There are too many people, too many heartbeats for me to be able to pick his out. I also wouldn't put it past him to have wards now that Beliel has paid him a few visits."

"Draco's wards won't be able to keep grandad out." Harry smirked. "Draco isn't powerful enough to keep him out."

"You ready to do this." Jasper asked, they had been standing outside Draco's apartment building for over ten minutes now.

Even though he shook his head no, Harry took a step forward. "It's now or never. Charlie is probably home now drilling Edward and Jacob on where we went."

"That demon loves you something silly." Jasper admitted fondly. He really liked Charlie, not only did the demon truly care for his baby brother, but he also cared for the kids and both Edward and Jacob. Draco put up with Edward and Jacob, but he never really cared for them and he was always jealous of them. Charlie was so different from Draco, he cared deeply for everyone and so far he hadn't felt any jealousy from the fire demon.

"Good! Hopefully he'll remember how much he loves me after he finds out that we snuck out to see Draco."

"You're an adult, Harry." Jasper reminded. "It's not like you're a naughty teenager sneaking out of the house. At least you were smart enough to bring me along this time. I don't think Draco will hurt you, but I also don't trust him. He's a desperate elf and desperate people do stupid shit."

"I brought you along more because I don't trust myself." Harry confessed shyly. "I don't know what I'm going to say or do when I see him. I have envisioned a few different scenarios. In one scenario I curse Draco to hell to spend eternity with my grandad, and in another scenario I forgive him and allow him back in my life. I don't want either scenario to come true, I just want closure so I can more on with my other three mates."

Jasper couldn't stop Harry from welcoming Draco back into the family, but he could stop him from cursing Draco to hell, but he probably wouldn't. As far as he was concerned Draco deserved hell. After what he did to his little brother and Daniel, even hell was too good for the elf.

Harry stopped outside Draco's door, remembering the last time he was here. He had been set to to tear Draco and Daniel a new one, until Daniel opened the door looking half dead. Not only did he look half dead, but as soon as he saw him he knew that Daniel was just a boy. So instead of tearing Daniel a new one, he brought him home and made him his little brother.

"He's home." Jasper said, shocking Harry out of his thoughts. "And he's alone, incase you were wondering. I also only scent him so he probably hasn't brought anyone else home since Daniel."

"Thanks." Harry said shakily as he reached out and started knocking on the door. There was no turning back now.

Harry had to knock a few more times before the door was finally wrenched open by a pissed off and disheveled looking Draco screaming "What?" in his face. Not only did Draco look a fright, but he also reeked of alcohol.

Stepping forward, Jasper started growling. "Watch who you're screaming at elf." He warned dangerously.

Draco's eyes widened and his mouth dropped open in shock. "H-Harry?" He cried out in disbelief, not believing his eyes.

Harry moved closer to his brother when Draco stepped forward to embrace him. "You look like shit!" He said, scrunching up his nose from the stench of alcohol pouring off his mate.

Draco frowned, aborting his attempt at hugging his mate. "I haven't seen you in over two months and that is the first thing you say to me?" He wanted to snap at his submissive and tell him he looked like shit too, but Harry looked gorgeous. Was his absence not affecting him at all?

"You smell like shit too!" Harry pointed out bluntly.

Draco's nostrils flared as he took in his submissive scent. "You don't smell like me anymore?" He said, his voice cracking. He could smell Weasley's stench all over his angel and that made him want to scream and rage. Harry should smell like him and only him.

Jasper tensed, he had been monitoring Draco's emotions closely and he didn't like the anger that was pouring off of the elf. His brother's mate or not, if the crazed elf made a move towards his brother, he was going to snap his neck.

"You walked out on me and your kids, of course I don't smell like you." Harry snapped angrily. Well, it looked like his first scenario was going to play out, the one where he cursed Draco to hell. Looking at his mate now, all he could see was a broken and scared teenager suffering from life threatening injuries that his mate was responsible for. It was Draco who whipped Daniel until his back was a shredded mess, and it was Draco who shoved something down Daniel's cock causing him to piss blood for over two weeks.

"You drove me away." Draco growled. "Why couldn't you be a normal submissive that only needed one mate, and a mate that did as he was told? I'm the dominant, you're the submissive, I tell you what to do and you obey."

Jasper was going to take up for his brother, but closed his mouth when he heard Harry start laughing.

Harry couldn't stop laughing, Draco was fucking delusional. "Merlin, can you hear yourself right now? Me, do as I'm told? You have known me since I was eleven years old, when have I ever done as told? On that note, when have I ever been normal?"

Jasper smirked, his brother had a point, Harry has never done as told and he has never been normal. Hell, no one in their family could be considered normal.

Sighing, Draco ran a trembling hand through his greasy hair. The past few weeks had been hell, his elf was demanding that they get their mate back. Everyday he spent hours trying to breech the wards around his old home, but he couldn't even catch a glimpse of his mate and children.

"When was the last time you showered?" Jasper asked, he was used to seeing Draco clean cut and in dress clothes. He was still wearing dress clothes, but they looked like he had been wearing them for at least a week.

Draco wanted to throw himself at his mate's feet and beg for forgiveness, but he was a Malfoy and Malfoy's didn't beg. He also hadn't done anything wrong as far as he was concerned. He had been a good mate, but he just couldn't take all the drama that came with Harry anymore.

Harry sighed. "Look, can we come in?"

Throwing the door wide open, Draco turned and stalked back into his apartment. "I would offer you a drink but all I have is Fire Whiskey."

"It smells like that's all you have." Harry said in disgust. He didn't know this Draco, his Draco never drank.

Draco spun around to snap as his mate, but he choked on his words when he saw how absolutely beautiful Harry looked standing in his apartment. "Merlin, you're beautiful." He blurted out before he could stop himself.

Harry's heart skipped a few beats, for a split second he could see his old Draco staring back at him. It only lasted a second though before Draco's eyes hardened once again.

"I take it from your stench that you mated with Weasley?"

"You're one to talk about stench." Jasper growled.

Harry placed his hand on his brother's arm in an attempt to calm him. "Charlie and I mated while at Disney World. It was an amazing vacation, Nitika had so much fun."

"We all had fun." Jasper added warmly as he looked to his brother.

Draco clenched his teeth together. "I guess you're a big boy now, defying your dominant mates and doing what the hell you want. You don't need me anymore."

"You're right, I don't need you anymore." Harry said, trying not to lose his temper. "But I never needed you to tell me what I can or can't do. Despite with you think, I'm not some weak, sniveling submissive who can't function without their mate telling them what to do."

"You weren't ready!" Draco bellowed. "I was only trying to protect you."

"But I was ready, you didn't want to listen to me. You didn't even give me a chance. I went, Draco, and I did those parks everyday with thousands of people and I didn't have a single panic attack. But this isn't just about me going against you and picking Charlie as a mate, this has to do with sex and what I can't give you."

"Don't bring Daniel into this, that little shit is nothing but I lier. I didn't do anything to him that he didn't want me to do. I don't know what lies the little bastard has been sprouting, but I did not almost kill him."

Harry had to close his eyes as his vision started to bleed red. He was so furious that he wanted to lash out and hurt his mate. Feeling a cool arm snake around his waist, he took a couple of deep breaths then opened his eyes. Looking to his mate, he was surprised to find Draco's face a bright red and wet with sweat.

Jasper chuckled nervously. "Your demon magic got away from you there for a minute. It's hotter than a sauna in here."

"Harry?" Draco called anxiously.

Harry held his hand out when his mate made to move towards him. "I was the one who found Daniel half dead. I came here to see you to see what I could do to fix our relationship and instead found a fifteen year old boy so sick that he could barely stand without passing out. I had to force him to go with me because not only did his master order him to stay in the house, but he also ordered him not to get healed."

"I..."

"Shut up!" Harry roared as tears started to stream down his face. "You are going to listen to me. Daniel, the fifteen year old orphan boy who you had sex with, had blood poisoning from infected lacerations on his back...lacerations that you gave him. But that wasn't the worst of it. From you shoving something down his penis, you tore his urethra and he had a severe kidney and bladder infection. Daniel couldn't even piss for weeks, someone had to magically vanish it for him."

"He could have used his safe word." Draco defended weakly. Had he really hurt Daniel that badly? Had he truly only been fifteen years old?

"Daniel is a fifteen year old boy who lost his parents in a potions accident. He had been living on the streets and he was desperate for a safe place to stay. He would have allowed you to do anything to him as long as you gave him a roof over his head and food in his belly."

"I didn't know he was underage?"

"That didn't sound convincing." Jasper said, his eyes bleeding black. Daniel had been his student before his parents died and he had always cared for the shy boy.

"I'm sorry that I couldn't be the mate that you wanted, that I couldn't play your sex games. I don't like to be tied up and whipped, and that will never change. I'm also sorry that I need multiple mates to ground me, but I love Edward, Jacob, and Charlie and I wouldn't change what we have together for anything."

"Not even for me?" Draco asked, more like pleaded.

Harry shook his head no. "No, Draco, not even for you. I love you as much as I love them, but I'll never be able to give you want you want."

"Then let me take on a submissive." Draco begged desperately. "Give me one night a week, just one night to be with someone who will give me what I want. I promise that I will never pressure you again and I will be the best damn mate. We can make this work."

Harry was shocked, he couldn't believe what he was hearing. He could tell by the tense arm still around his waist that Jasper couldn't believe it either. "Are you fucking serious? You want me to allow you to cheat on me?

"It's only fair, Harry." Draco said tensely. "You are fucking cheating on me with three other men. I have been faithful to you since we were teenagers, and I love you more than anything else in this world, but it is only fair that I get to sleep with other people seeing as you have never been faithful to me."

Harry felt like his heart was being shredded into a million pieces. He knew that Draco never liked sharing him with his other mates, but it wasn't as though he was cheating on him. They were all his mates, fate had put them together for a reason. It wasn't his fault that he needed three, now four counting Charlie, mates.

Jasper's arm tightened around Harry's waist. "Come on, angel, he isn't worth it." He couldn't believe that Draco had the nerve to ask to take on a submissive, to cheat on his mate. Harry wasn't unfaithful to him, Edward, Jacob, and Charlie were every bit Harry's mates, just like Draco.

"Harry, we can make this work." Draco pleaded. "I can get what I need sexually what you won't do for me from someone else, but we can still be a family. I love you, Harry."

Harry felt like his world was crashing in on him. "I love you too, Draco, so very much, but we are never going to work out. I want a loving family, and you want to torture and hurt your sexual partners. You are not the kind of role model that I want for my children, or the kind of father that I want for our daughter."

"What are you saying?" Draco asked, his eyes narrowing in anger. Why couldn't Harry just give him this one damn thing? He was only asking for one fucking night a week.

Harry took a deep breath then wiped away his tears. He was done crying over Draco...at least for now. He didn't want to give Draco the satisfaction of seeing him crying. "I'm saying that we're through, that you are no longer my mate."

Draco snorted. "Right, Potter, like you have a choice. We are destined mates, you need me."

Harry sadly shook his head no. "Our bond is almost dead, Draco, it's been decaying for a while now according to Marcus, but when you left that's when the bond truly started dying. I have agreed to let Chelsea completely sever our bond. My magic is still trying to repair the bond and it's making my magic wonky and putting a strain on Edward, Jacob and Charlie. I just came here tonight because I needed closure."

"No!" Draco cried. "No, you can't do this, Harry. I won't let you, I won't let you sever our bond. You are my mate!"

"I was your mate." Harry clarified. "But you lost that title when you took advantage of a fifteen year old and had sex with him. You could go to jail for having sex with a minor, Draco. You need help."

"You can't do this! You are my mate and Lyra is my daughter. You can't keep her from me."

"So now you remember that you have a daughter?" Harry scoffed. "Where have you been for the last few months? Draco, I don't want to keep you from Lyra, but right now I don't trust you with her. You are unstable and unpredictable and you will probably get worse after the bond is severed."

"You legally can't keep me from her!" Draco raged. "She is my blood, my heir."

"You can see her, Draco, but not until after you are better"

"I will fight you for custody." Draco threatened darkly. "I will win and I will take her from you."

Harry started laughing. "What court would award you, a Malfoy and now a pedophile, custody of a little girl over me, the Savior of the Wizarding World? If you fight me for custody, it will come out that you sexually abused a minor and almost killed him. You will be spending years behind bars."

Jasper shoved his little brother behind him when Draco lunged at him. Grabbing the elf around the throat, he picked him up and slammed him onto the ground. "Please give me a reason to kill you."

"Get off me?" Draco growled as he clawed at Jasper's hand. The vampire had a vise like grip on his throat.

Leaning down, Jasper whispered into the elf's ear. "You're a pathetic piece of trash who never deserved to be Harry's mate. I didn't like you from day one, the fates made a mistake when they chose you for my brother. Obviously they realized their mistake and made Charlie my brother's mate. It should have been Charlie from the beginning, not you."

"Stop!" Harry cried weakly. "I don't want any fighting, I have had my say. Draco, I will keep in touch with you and as soon as I know you're safe I will let you see Lyra. I know your elf is going to give you issues for losing your mate, but I know you're strong enough to survive this."

With a snarl, Jasper released the struggling elf. "You stay away from Harry, the kids, and Daniel."

Draco got unsteadily onto his feet, his eyes wide and full of tears. "Please don't do this, Harry, I'm sorry. We can work through this. Once a month, just allow me once a month."

Harry slowly shook his head. "You need help, Draco. What you did with Daniel wasn't healthy. You may think that it was BDSM, but that was nothing more than abuse. At least Voldemort had me healed after he was done playing with me, you left that boy bloody and dying and ordered him not to seek help. No, Draco, I will never be able to accept you back. We are finished."

Tears started streaming down Draco's face. "I will die without you."

Harry was hurting, but after everything that Draco had said it wasn't hard to harden his heart against his mate's pleas. "My athair was strong enough to get over losing his mate, you can do this same. You had to have known when you brought Daniel back to your apartment that this would happen."

"But you need me. Please, Harry."

Harry held his hand out to Jasper. "I'm finished, I have had my say. I have three mates and my babies waiting at home for me."

"You need me!" Draco cried out desperately. "I need you." He added weakly.

Harry turned his back on his soon to be ex mate. He was finished, there was nothing more to say. Hopefully Draco would survive this and be able to find happiness, but he would never accept him back. He couldn't worry about Draco now, he had a family that needed him. Draco made his choice the night he took Daniel home, now he had to live with those choices.

***HP

Harry wasn't all that surprised to find Charlie lurking outside Draco's apartment. "How long have you been here?" He asked, rushing into his demon's arms.

"Almost as long as you." Charlie said as he crushed his mate to him. It had been hard not barging into the apartment and killing Draco and dragging his mate home, but he knew that Harry needed to do this. As soon as he returned home and found Harry and Jasper missing, he had known right away where they went. He had been expecting this for a while now.

Jasper nodded to Charlie, he had known that the fire demon was outside the apartment and he was grateful that he hadn't stormed in making the situation worse. Draco truly hated Charlie and he would have lost his shit if he had known he was here.

"Are you alright?" Charlie asked as Harry clung desperately to him.

Harry shook his head no, his face buried in Charlie's neck. "Can you please just flash us home, I don't want to walk back through the alley? I just want to go home to my babies and snuggle with them and my mates."

Charlie's arms tightened around Harry when a loud crash was heard from inside Draco's apartment. "Grab my arm, Jasper." He instructed, wanting to get his mate far away from Draco. He didn't know Draco that well personally, but elves could be very dangerous, especially when losing their mate. He wasn't worried for himself, he could easily wipe the floor with the bastard's feathery ass, but Harry didn't like violence and he didn't need to see his mates beating the shit out of each other. And he would beat the shit out of Draco...happily.

Harry flinched when he heard another loud crash come from Draco's apartment. He knew how volatile Draco could be so more than likely his apartment was going to be totally trashed by morning. He wasn't going to change his mind though, even if Draco begged, pleaded or threatened. It hurt, but as far as he was concerned, Draco was no longer his mate.
