"You saved my daughter… Why?" Bella demanded once the shock had worn off enough that she could speak. Alec looked over at her.
"She's a little kid! I may be Volturi, but I'm not that heartless!" He snapped. Bella looked towards her kids and then at the vampire that had saved her daughter.
"We kind of killed your coven." Bella admitted. He looked slightly upset, but he quickly covered it with a smirk.
"They had it coming."
"Since you're kind of a nomad now… Perhaps you could join our coven." Bella suggested, hesitant only because she was worried he'd disagree. He looked over at her again.
"What?"
"If you want, I mean." She said quickly.
"I just tried to kill your family." He reminded her.
"No, you just saved my daughter." He frowned, debating this.
"If I join this coven… What happens?"
"You travel with us… You're part of our family… I'm still working out the details of my family life and you'd better join before it gets any more confusing." He half smiled.
"Very well." He agreed. Bella smiled as Merci darted forward to hug him. He awkwardly returned it, obviously not used to the gesture.
"You'd better get used to that. She likes hugging." Clarke told him in a matter-of-fact tone. Bella smiled again and walked over to him.
"Welcome to the family, Alec."
