Disclaimer: It's a fanfiction site, so I'm obviously not Stephanie Meyer. If I was, I would make Alec leave the Volturi and join the Cullens, have a wolf imprint on him and live happily ever after. But because I can't, I'm writing it here.

Previously in It Started in Volterra

"Embry imprinted." Edward informed all of the vampires and humans present and Aro stiffened and grasped Alec's hand.

He let it go with a smile and then grabbed Marcus' hand. He grinned widely.

"Alec, it appears that you have a soul mate."

Chapter 3. Twin bond

"Soulmate?" He asked, confused.

Jane growled. "The dog?" She was disgusted.

"Jane, he is your brother's mate." Aro chastised her.

"Yes, yes, he is. But he is …" She regarded him coldly. "He is 16, perhaps even more and Alec…" She trailed off.

"Sister, perhaps we should go hunting." Alec hinted. Embry grew concerned for his imprints' safety.

"Where are you going? I'm coming with you." Embry tried to step towards them, but Jacob and Sam held him back.

"You are worried for our safety?" Alec asked amused. "Surely you've heard of us."

"Whatever, brother. Let's go." Jane grabbed her twin brother's arm impatiently.

"Embry, we are the Witch Twins." Alec smiled menacingly. "We are the Volturi."

Embry bit his lip. Every instinct was urging him to protect his imprint. "Can't I go?" He pleaded, making eye contact with him.

Jane growled and then sped off with Alec. Embry growled and his entire body shuddered as he felt the urge to protect his imprint grow.

"They'll be fine. They go on occasional hunting trips when they need to discuss something with no one interrupting them. They are twins." Aro explained fondly. "They are powerful, and feared."

Embry relaxed slightly.

"They will come back soon. I suspect Alec is trying to calm Jane and make her accept the idea." Marcus remarked, bored.

Embry reluctantly agreed to wait for his imprint and his twin.

Alec and Jane Volturi

They stopped as soon as they reached their usual clearing. Jane sat on the rock and Alec leaned against a tree nearby.

"Does this change anything between us?" Jane broke the silence.

"What would change, sister?" Alec asked, puzzled.

"You and that…shape-shifter." Jane pursed her lips. "Will you still spend time with me and care for me and keep your promise?"

"This does not change anything, Jane." Alec reassured her. "You're my twin sister. We've been together for centuries. I will not abandon you, not now nor ever."

Jane smiled, not her sadistic 'I will make your life living hell' smile, but a genuine smile she reserved for her brother.

"Let's head back. You're missing the…Embry, right?" Jane teased. "Race you back to the castle."

They sped off, sometimes Jane had the advantage, sometimes Alec did. But they arrived at the castle, with none the wiser or winner.

They sped into the throne room, and found the Cullens and the packs and imprints in the throne room, looking quite alert and bored.

Embry smiled, relieved, as soon as he saw Alec.

Aro took Jane's hand, and smiled before taking Alec's.

After a minute, he let go and turned to the guests. "Alec and Jane shall escort you to your chambers. Alec, Embry shall have the empty room next to you."

Alec and Jane nodded, and turned towards them.

"We shall give you a tour of the castle. Felix, Demetri, Afton." She glanced at the vampires mentioned. "Take their luggage to their rooms. And put Embry's next to Alec's."

When Chelsea opened her mouth to protest, she fell to the ground screaming. "Do you have something to say?" Jane asked in a sweet but malicious voice. Chelsea shook her head and got up in a flash, yet she did not dare to retort.

"Good. Follow me." Jane glanced at Alec and then at Embry. "Alec." Her voice held a warning tone.

Alec glanced at Embry before taking Jane's offered hand, but Embry took control and walked towards the feared Witch Twins and took Alec's free hand. Alec stiffened visibly at the warmth, yet did not let go. And so, the twins and Embry led the guests.
