Bella's Pov
The moon light was shimmering through the window of my room in the Volturi castle. I know what you might be thinking… Why on earth is she in the Volturi castle? What happened to being safe in Forks protected by Edward and the Cullen's? All of that is now history. That good for nothing vampire left me. He said I wasn't good enough for him. What hurts the most was leaving me in the cold cruel woods unprotected. Using all the speed I had, I tried to catch up with him, but I stumbled and fell, as he disappeared into the shadows, never to be seen again.
That was when Jane Volturi found me, already withering in pain. She was wondering through the woods looking for prey.
"Bella Swan? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with that stupid Cullen that you call your other half?" She questioned with confusion. Even if she was trying to sound nice, there was still a sinister sound to her voice.
"He l...le… Left me." I managed to stutter in between little winces.
"What? After all you did for him! I might have hated you, but I had reason to. As much as it might pain you to hear this, I'll get to the point. Edward was never your soul mate. Another vampire had his eye on you since the beginning. As soon as you fell for Edward, he was in so much pain that he wanted to kill himself. He was in love with you. We are closer than you think. That was why I started to hate you because of what you made him feel." She explained. Another vampire had their eye on me? But who was it? After all the pain that happened I didn't want to carry on life.
"Yes you are going to carry on your life. You are coming with me." She argued. I didn't know I said that out loud. I tried to hold my ground, but before I knew it I was in the throne room of the Volturi castle.
"Masters I am back. I found someone that I thought will be put to good use." She had an evil smile planted on her face.
"Very well my dear Jane. Isabella Swan. It is nice to finally meet you after these years. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Aro Volturi." Even though he sounded nice, he was creepy. Before I could get a chance to speak, he snatched my hand to read it?
"Jane, this child is worth nothing. She is absolutely useless to me. I have no choice but to kill her!" He yelled with anger.
I closed my eyes to prepare for the attack, but instead of feeling the slightest touch, a low menacing growl escaped someone's lips.
"Stop!" The mysterious voice called out. Whoever owned the voice had to be a male. Whoever he was, was my life saviour.
"Alec what has gotten into you?" The blonde head asked.
I turned around to see a gorgeous vampire with a dangerous look. He looked stunning (even with a mad expression.) He had chocolate coloured hair with a fringe. His face looked like it was carved by angels. He looked handsome in the black ensemble he was wearing. What captured me the most was his eyes. They looked so forbidden and deep. I guess scarlet was the new gold.
"Masters, I ask you to let her live. She is my mate. The rules state you can kill humans who are no use, but can't kill one if it's associated with another Volturi vampire."
With heavy sighs around the room everyone was in suspense to see what decision has been made.
"Very well I will let her live. Providing you guard her and what you said has to be true. If she is your mate, you can change her. But mark my words Alec, one argument or heart break for either of you she is finished. Understood?" Aro's voice sent chill through my bones.
"I understand completely master." He bowed as a sign of respect and left the room, dragging me softly by the arm.
"Thank you for saving me." I smiled. He looked at me like an emotionless brick wall. So he won't speak to me? That's weird. After a few seconds, a smile was creeping up on his lips as soon as we were walking down with no one in sight.
"It was my pleasure. I couldn't stand there and watch you get killed." He said.
"Is it true that I am your mate?" I asked eagerly awaiting his response.
Next thing I knew was he was face to face with me, gazing into my eyes.
Alec slowly leaned in. At first I thought he was going to kiss me, but he moved close to whisper something in my ear.
"Yes 100% true. Ever since I saw you, I felt a pull towards you. Your wavy brown locks." He paused a bit to twirl a strand of my hair on his finger.
"Your petite and delicate frame." He used his other hand to pull me closer to him. I blushed a deep shade of red.
He came closer to whisper something only for my ears.
"Your beautiful blush. All these things that made me fall for you." He slowly kissed my cheek. Suddenly my cheeks got hotter than before.
All he did was smile. I stood there motionless looking like a blushing idiot.
"Follow me Isabella to your chamber." Alec commanded. I obeyed with no hesitations.
"It's Bella actually, but you can call me Isabella...If you want." I hinted. I didn't want to sound desperate, but the way he said my full name rolled off his tongue perfectly. It was the deep Italian voice that fitted the name to make me weak in the knees.
"Isabella then. It sounds like music to my ears." He grinned.
Alec led me into a massive room. It was black and white colour coded with a huge flat screen. There was a massive king sized bed that you think can only be seen on TV.
"Wow." Was all I could say.
"Thank you. This is my room, but you can share it for time being. There's extra closet space, a bathroom and… Well I don't sleep so the bed is yours.
"Ok thank you. But I don't have clothes so..." I trailed off.
He still had a grin that made me get more curious.
"Don't worry about it. That is where my sister and Heidi come in."
Right on cue was Jane and Heidi with excited expressions.
"Shopping time!" They squealed. Oh no this can't be good.
