Bella POV

I was sitting on my throne, just simply watching everyone rushing about with their early morning business, when Marcus walked into the throne room. If I was still mortal I would have gasped at his handsomeness. He had beautiful dark chocolate hair; his eyes were the loveliest shade of red I had ever seen. As I was watching him I realized something… I loved Marcus. I loved all of him, from the tip of his head to the end of his toes. But I was afraid. Why would one of the most important vampires in the whole world. One of the kings of Volterra, ever love me back?

I didn't want to ponder on the thought too much, so I decided to go and see Aro in his chambers.

As I reached the black mahogany doors of Aro's room I found myself face to face with Aro himself.

"La Mi Bella, whatever is the matter?" he asked as he saw my expression.

"Aro, I was wondering if I could talk to you about something." I asked shyly.

"Sì, naturalmente, mia carissima bella." He spoke in perfect italin which i somehow understood.

I followed him into his room.

"Aro, i-i think i love Marcus!" i blurted.

Aro paused for a moment and then said "complimenti, la mia bella!"

Which i understood as congratulations. I was shocked. Why would Aro be congratulating me? He wouldnt unless... Marcus loved me back.

" Aro. Does Marcus love me back?" i asked

"sì il mio angelo che fa e che sarà così felice di sapere che lo ami troppo." He said.

this was the happiest moment of my life! The man i loved dearly loved me back.

Marcus POV

I was in a happy mood so i decided to go see my brother. Aro. As i whent to open his door i heard him speaking to Bella. She was asking if i loved her back! And aro had said i do. I was shocked. Bella loved me? I was immensly happy now.

I hid as bella left the room, following her at a safe distance. She went to the library. I decided to confront her so i walked up to her on the love couch reading shakespear.

"godere la vostra bella libro?" i asked her.

" very much thank you marcus." She said returning to her book.

"carissima bella, i want you to know that i heard your conversation with Aro earlier." I stammered.

Bella looked up at me, shocked.

" you-you did?" she stuttered.

" yes la mi bella. And i wanted to tell you in person. ti amo bella!" i said

I looked her in the eyes and saw that the red in her eyes slowly changed into a nice pink colour. The colour of love
