Isabella POV

"What? No, no Alec I can't do this right now. I am really sorry give me time please." I said and then ran from the room. I couldn't look at his face I didn't want to see the pain I had inflicted on him. I had never expected Alec to be in love with me, Felix yes, Demetri maybe but Alec never! I ran all the way to the feeding room hoping I wasn't too late or extremely early. I had a feeling Alec wouldn't be feeding tonight and I knew it was my fault. I ran through the doors and saw father and my uncles looking at me worriedly. I ran right into fathers arms and started dry sobbing. What why am I crying, he loathed me two days ago, and now he decides to confess his love? No I shouldn't be crying. I thought to myself.

"Isabella dear what is the problem, has some one hurt you?" Father asked and I looked up and shook my head.

"Oh no that isn't good at all, how terrible." Marcus was murmuring I had no idea what he was talking about and I didn't care right now.

"What is the problem brother, what has my daughter so upset?" Aro asked. I was truly hoping that Marcus would just touch his hand and tell him but to my dismay he thought I should know.

"Alec and Isabella's bond is weakening, if they don't fix their problems soon it will fade completely and they will never find love." Marcus stated with horror in his voice.

"What are you saying uncle, why wouldn't I be able to find love if Alec and I aren't speaking?" I asked hesitantly.

"Isabella darling, Alec is your true soul mate. Not many vampires find love like that you need to take advantage of it. Work out any problems you have and make it work, you will see that once you let him in it will be as easy as breathing to be with him. You were made specifically for each other; if you strengthen the bond between you nothing will be able to break you apart." Marcus sighed and smiled weakly at me.

"A-Alec i-is my soul mate? He loathes me that simply cannot be correct please check again." I pleaded this couldn't be right I wouldn't let it.

"Isabella right now the color his tie to you is black, the color of heart break. An hour ago it was white the color of true soul mates. Your bond towards him is orange the color of denial, but next to the orange is green the color of need along with white which means he is your soul mate as well." He said again a little frustrated for having to go into such detail.

"I must go to him then, I have to make this better!" I said while turning for the door before noticing Heidi bringing in our super.

"Princess come sit on your throne, you must eat first." Caius said in a voice too low for humans to hear. I complied and father rose welcoming the people to Volterra, then the screaming began. Once I was finished I bid goodnight to my family and ran to my room to get cleaned up. I showered and changed into a night gown that was suitable to go out in. I walked over to Alec's room and knocked.

"Come in Princess, is there something you need?" Alec's sad voice caught me off guard. I had never heard or seen him so tore up.

"Alec I wish to love you as you love me." Was all I said before I ran up to him and kissed him. He hesitated at first and then kissed me back. I pulled away and we talked about our differences until the sun came up.

"Princess let me spoil you, let me take you shopping and buy you everything you desire!" Alec said while I was hugging him. I nodded into his perfectly molded chest and walked out of his room to get ready for the day. I knew I needed to speak with my uncle before I left, I had to make sure I had fixed everything and brought me and Alec closer. I took a fast shower and then put on an ivory colored sun dress with flowers embroidered into the skirt. I skipped all the way to Marcus's office and knocked politely.

"Come in Princess, I have been expecting you!" Marcus said cheerily.

"Hello dear uncle how our my ties today?" I asked with a smile on my face, last night was the best night of my existence!

"Stronger than ever it is a solid white with a color next to it than I cannot tell you." He replied with a sneaky grin on his face. I frowned I really wanted to know what the color meant.

"Dearest uncle I am sure you can tell me, it will be our secret." I tried but he just shook his head. I decided to let it be. I kissed him on the cheek and then skipped back to Alec's room, on my way I saw most of the guards smile. I could sense the jealousy and loyalty flowing off them, it was a strange mix they were loyal to me as the princess but jealous of Alec for stealing my heart. They must have heard us talking last night. I knocked on Alec's door and he opened it with a smile, I couldn't help but to smile back I was in love with this beautiful man before me!

Alec POV

Last night was the best night of my existence. Isabella left me broken earlier in the night and just like that she put me back together. I opened my door to see the love of my life looking as beautiful as ever I was taking her out today to buy her everything she ever wished for and things she never dreamed of.

"Hello beautiful" I said as I leaned in to kiss her. I knew I wanted to spend the rest of eternity with this amazing woman I just hoped she felt the same about me.

"Hello Alec are you ready?" she asked me. I nodded and grabbed her hand today was going to be the first day of forever and I could be more happy. We walked at a human pace to the garage, it was cloudy today and perfect. We didn't have to hide from the unsuspecting humans who walked the streets of Volterra and that made my plans for the day that much easier.

"Where would you like to go first my love?" I asked while parking in a secluded area. I thought walking would be best we so rarely got to leave the castle.

"Anywhere is fine with me so long as I am with you." She answered. I loved how perfect her voice was, and how she perfected her grammar to sound more like a princess. I knew she was still working on it which made it cuter when she slipped up. I guided her into a jewelry store and let her free to roam, lucky for me this store was large I had a few things I needed to get that she didn't need to know about just yet. I heard her gasp and walked over to see what she was looking at.

"Isn't it beautiful Alec, I would never expect you to pay so much for a necklace but it caught my attention." She said. I looked towards the man at the counter and asked him to put it behind the counter for me in Italian. I would come back for it another day when she was preoccupied doing something else. He nodded and as he was about to reach for it I asked him to wait until we had left the store because it was a surprise. He nodded and then pulled another necklace out to cover for our conversation.

"What do you think of this one Isabella?" She looked down and touched to cool blue stones that formed a moon in the middle of the chain.

"I love it Alec it is utterly beautiful." She said while admiring the necklace I gestured to the man to ring it up along with the two other items I had showed him when Isabella was distracted. I was worried she wouldn't like the things I had gotten but pushed the though into the back of my mind, right now it was all about her.

"Shall we go to another store?"I asked and she nodded while taking my hand. I thanked the man and then walked a few blocks to a clothing store. I once again left Isabella to roam; I was looking at a couple things when my phone rang.

"Isabella I am going to step outside for a second stay in sight please." She nodded so I left her alone. "Hello Jane what do I have this pleasure?" I asked.

"Brother I was calling to let you know I am going to be gone on a mission for a few days, a man in Texas has exposed us." She said obviously in a hurry.

"Good luck sister take care of yourself please." I said a little tense I didn't like when she had to go off on her own.

"I will brother take care." Was all she said and then hung up. I walked back into the store to see the princess looking at a few dresses.

"Try them on, we can get them all if you like" I said. She walked into the dressing room and came out a few seconds later modeling a beautiful gown. It was a deep purple that was tightly fitted against her slender figure, it was backless and elegant. I nodded and she went back into the room, only to come out in a dress more beautiful than the first. This one was a deep burgundy and it was floor length, it was tight fitting at the top and then flared out at the bottom. I nodded again and she disappeared for the last time into the little room. She came out in a deep blue cocktail dress that tied around her neck in a halter. It was about knee length and absolutely gorgeous on her.

"Which one is your favorite?" She asked while handing me all three dresses and then coming out in her original attire.

"I insist on all three" I replied and walked up to the counter to pay the woman who had already rung up the dressed. I thanked her and escorted Isabella outside and back to the car. It was about five and the sun would set in two hours. I needed to go and pick up my three items from the jewelry store. I brought the princess back to the castle and walked her to her room.

"I will see you in two hours I promise." I said and leaned in to kiss her cheek. I walked away and back into the garage. I drove to the store in a hurry I still needed to talk to Aro before I saw Isabella again. I walked into the store and the man smiled, I could tell he understood what I was doing. I paid the man and thanked him before leaving once again in a rush. I pulled into the garage and looked at the time I had exactly a half an hour before it would be too late. I ran at full speed to Aro's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in Alec, what has you in such a hurry?" I walked in and explained everything to him. He was overjoyed and sent me on my way. I ran right to Isabella's room and she was waiting. I took her hand and led her to the court yard.

"This has always been my favorite place when the sun was setting." I said while looking at her.

"It is beautiful, I am surprised I never noticed before." She said completely entranced by the sun. I knew this was the perfect timing to catch her off guard. I slowly knelt in front of her trying not to catch her attention.

"Princess Isabella Volturi, I have loved you since the first day I laid eyes on you as a human. I know we have just realized we loved each other but I refuse to lose you. Will you marry me?"
