Chapter 3 - The reasons revealed

CPOV

Aro had asked me to join him and Marcus in the library so that we could further discuss that vile human who was living in my quarters. Both were already in a deep discussion which almost automatically stopped as I entered the room.

"Aro" I said "What is the meaning of putting the human in my quarters? You know that I hate humans and putting her in my rooms is not helping to improve my mood".

"I'm not worried Caius, you always have a foul temper so putting a human in your apartment can't make it much worse" Aro answered.

"Don't try me big brother!" I warned.

"You will behave and train Isabella" he growled "you have no choice"

"Oh yes I do" I jeered "I refuse to have her in my apartments".

Marcus then turned and mumbled "Caius listen, you cannot avoid this"

"What the hell are you talking about?" I snarled "of course I can, just watch me"

"Listen Caius" Marcus said "She is destined to be your mate!"

I looked a Marcus as if I had never seen him before and shouted "What the hell are you talking about? What kind of trick is this? She, that….human my mate! You must really be going crazy"

Then I heard Are softly say "I saw it in the mind of the sear called Alice and believe me, she wasn't happy to reveal this to me"

This really shook me and I mumbled "It cannot be; I do not believe in these things"

"Just because you do not believe does not mean it is not so. Many do not believe in our existence and yet here we are" Marcus explained as he spread his arms to prove his point.

"I will not have her!" I said but even I could hear the desperation in my voice.

"You have no choice" Marcus explained "fate has decided differently"

"I will not be guided by fate Marcus. My path has always been made by myself and no other."

"Do not deny fate for if too long. If you deny it, it can have a nasty habit of leaving you with a want you will never fill." Marcus warned and I heard danger in his voice "Look at the boy; it is undeniable that he feels for her and she was his future until now; through his stubbornness and stupidity he has lost her. Now she is destined to be one of us and if you take her Aro believes you will have a mate with many special abilities".

"Aro guesses" I shouted "he does not know for sure".

"Maybe that is so but if not, we may lose a special gift indeed."Aro said "I advise you to think about it little brother and see how she develops once she is changed".

I was furious! Why me? I had no wish for a mate and especially not a human one. I was about to leave the room felling that neither of them were listening when it came to me. Since they were both enthusiastic over this bond why didn't one of them make a bond with this girl.

I then turned towards Aro and sneered "Aro, you are always looking for these talents in your guards; why don't you take this girl?"

Looking into my face Aro said "I will not go against the fates"

Marcus then spoke "Caius put aside your prejudice of this human and look at the girl inside; after all we were once, all of us, human".

As I left the room I heard Aro ominous voice behind me saying "Be careful with Isabella she may just be holding your future in her hands".

I stormed towards the room where she was staying and quietly opened the door so that I would have the element of surprise. She was in her bed and her eyes were red and puffy; god how I hated humans. She had become restless in her sleep and I saw the fear, that she had been able to hide from me earlier that day, cloud her features.

I would give her a chance but promised myself that I would show her no favoritism. As I was making this decision she began to scream; her eyes were still closed but she was panic stricken. I shook her to wake her up and as soon as she caught a glimpse of me she moved herself back towards the headboard of the bed and her eyes studied me.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

I laughed in her face and told her "You seemed to be having problems sleeping and began to scream so I woke you up."

"Thank you for your concern but I am alright now" she answered.

After a long silence she looked at me and motioned with her head towards the door. It felt like she was dismissing me so I ignored this.

She then said "I hope you won't mind me asking but, could you please go?"

I was furious, how dare her! "No one tells me when to leave my own apartments!" I shouted and I gave her a slap across the cheek putting actions to my words for I was determined not to tolerate this kind of behavior.

She slowly turned her face back towards me and gave me a blank stare saying "I know you are unhappy with my human company and I don't wish to bother you more than is necessary that is why I asked."

As she spoke I was fascinated by a small trickle of blood slowly forming along the corner of her mouth. I sat down beside her on the bed and held her face between my fingers forcing her to look into my eyes. As she watched I licked the blood off her face enjoying the rich taste of it. She tried to pull back but I would not allow that as I wished to taste more. I pulled her body towards me taking in her scent and although she struggled it was like a fly struggling in a spider web. Her back was now pulled towards my chest and as I held her with one arm, my free hand moved over her body trying to feel the contours of her figure. The more my hands wandered the more she struggled; I could get to like this game! I held her tight to make sure there would be no escape and I slowly sank my teeth in her neck. She then began to scream but I quickly silenced her with my hand while I pulled in that sweat taste and let it linger in my mouth. I had to admit she had a lovely bouquet full and sweet. I took my time savoring each pull and as I pulled for the fourth time I felt a hand on my shoulder warning me to stop.

It was Aro and he whispered in my ear "You can taste her but she cannot be turned yet, we need to make preparations for that."

As Aro left the room I slowly let go of the sweet morsel liking the wounds with my tong. Turning my face towards her I put a finger on her lips warning her to stay quiet and slowly took my hand off her mouth still keeping her pinned against my body. "Now my love" I said "your turn" and bit my pulse opening it up and forcing it towards her lips. At first she tried to fight but I roared "NOW" and she began to drink. I put my lips to her ears and whispered "Four pulls, my love and make them count!"

Once she was finished l let her go and she scurried as fast as possible to the other end of the bed constantly watching me, her body was rigid but I knew she was ready to jump if I came any closer.

I looked into those chocolate brown eyes and snickered "Now you see human; I make the decisions and if you taunt me you will regret it".

I then paused to say "I am actually glad that I had to discipline you as it allowed me to taste your blood. The Cullen boy wasn't exaggerating when he said your blood was exquisite; having you in my quarters will allow me to enjoy this rare treat once in a while"

While standing in the girl's doorway to my room I said "Tomorrow I will pick you up for our first training and will send a couple of servants to wake you and give you something decent to wear. You will obey their every instruction and meet me at the exact time required. I hope I don't have to remind you about tardiness? Disciplinary actions will be more server as your training progresses. Do you understand?"

She nodded her head as reply.

I then left her room going to my chambers. "Now get some sleep, I will be in my room next door!" I shouted.
