Chapter 35 - Confirmation - Bella POV again
I clung to my father as I breathed in his snow and leafy scent with the underlying tinge of something darker. I was joyous as I wept into his arms; I had found him, after so long I had found him.
"Come my fiică, we have much to discuss; there are many questions I have that need answers." He tells me with excitement as he lifts me out of the water in one swift movement.
I let out a soft yelp as the cool air touched my wetted flesh and tail, an apology tumbling from my father's lips instantly while Thomas hands over my cloak. I knew I wouldn't have time to change into clothing before the questions so my cloak will do to hide my naked form when I change back.
Once the cloak was securely wrapped around me, we were running back into the castle towards the throne room.
Gasps echoed as everyone finally caught sight of my father carrying me into the room, though their eyes were locked onto the end of my tail. I stare at them with raised brows, causing those who had never seen it to look away.
"So it is true then?" Carlisle asks with elation as he looks at the two of us.
"Yes, she is my fiică." Father states loudly as he places me on his throne before facing the full room. There were many guards, more than before stationed all around. "My daughter has been returned to my side! We must celebrate!" he cheered causing many to holler their excitement.
"We will celebrate tonight of our lost coven member's return!" Stefan states next before telling everyone to go and be ready for tonight's celebration.
"Masters, we need to go back to Volterra. There has been an incident that needs our attention." Metri states from the door, his Volturi cloak and crest already in place.
"Yes, inform us immediately on what it is." Father orders, Metri and Lix bow their heads in agreement before casting me smiles and disappearing.
