Alice's POV
Two days later we were all packed into the Denali's private jet, something Bella was absolutely ecstatic about, since she still believed that we could be quiet enough for her to 'join the Mile High club' which both Rose and I knew was something that was not going to happen. Not only for the fact that two families of vampires would definitely hear, but also that there was no way for us to be quiet. Bella hit all the right spots inside of us and it was impossible for both Rosalie and myself to keep quiet with Bella ravaging us at every hour of the day.
What we could do however is cuddle up together the entire trip, which is exactly what we did as the plane took off. "Is it wrong to be a bit nervous?" Bella asked softy.
"Of course it's not wrong to be nervous, Bella. The Volturi are among the oldest vampires in existence and are immensely powerful. Sure Tanya, Irina and I are well over a thousand years old, but I believe Aro, Caius and Marcus are close to three and a half thousand years old and that makes them nearly the strongest vampires in existence. Only two vampires older than them are the Romanian Coven who have been on the run for more than a millennium." Kate said with a smile from Victoria's arms.
Bella smiled at that. "Wow, over three thousand years old. I can't imagine the things they have seen. They've seen empires rise and fall while never changing themselves."
Jasper smiled at her. "Why am I not surprised you took this to a history standpoint. We should really visit an exhibit at some point."
She smiled and nodded as she softly ran her fingers over my back, going as far as to slip her fingers below my jeans a little. "We really should do that when we get back. Perhaps we can find a way to get a museum trip in while we are in Italy."
Jasper smiled and nodded. "We'll see, we don't know how the Bella effect will affect the Volturi."
Bella only grinned at that as she slipped her hand into my jeans from behind, toying with that hem of my panties.
I looked at her with a slightly quirked eyebrow, but she just gave me a soft kiss. "Trust me love." She whispered against my lips, so soft that only Rosalie and I could hear it.
The others were again engrossed in their own conversations and it took every bit of my willpower not to moan loudly as Bella slipped a finger between my already wet lower lips, massaging the folds slowly.
I grabbed Rosalie's hand to keep myself from reacting too much to Bella's covert ministrations. I felt her squeeze my hand softly and she discretely redirected my gaze to her own backside, where Bella's other hand had also slipped into her jeans and panties. "You know we can never deny our Tigress anything, my Pixie, and I have to be honest and say that this is very hot. Just let it happen and I think you'll enjoy it."
I smiled and pulled her into a soft kiss. "How could I not enjoy this. It is new even for us." I said in a whisper.
Rosalie smiled and kissed me softly as we slid into Bella's lap, both to give her more access and that we could make sure we wouldn't get caught. "You two are so wet. I can't wait to feel all of it around my cock again." Bella said softly.
We smiled and kissed her softly. "Patience Tigress. When we are alone again we'll make love to you for as long as we all can take it." Rosalie said against her lips.
Bella smiled at us. "We all know that I can go on for longer, my loves. I distinctly remember that you two just wanted me to cover your bodies with my cum when you were too tired to go on."
"Well, I can't help it that ten hours is a bit much even for us, and I have to admit it was pretty hot seeing Rosalie covered in cum." I said with a slight huff.
Rosalie smiled at that. "As it was hot to see you covered in Bella's cum, my Pixie. We should really make a home movie just for us at some point, so we can relive those memories." She said in a husky whisper.
I moaned ever so softly as the thought of seeing Bella fuck us into the mattress over and over again made me cum against Bella's fingers.
"That was quick even for you, my Pixie. What naughty things did you see?" Bella asked innocently.
"Exactly what Rose just said. The three of us watching a 'home movie' of us making love." I said softly as I felt how Bella pulled her fingers from my pussy, although she kept her hand in my jeans, caressing my ass gently.
It of course didn't take long for Rose to cum as well, and again Bella showed no intention of removing her hand. "Then we really should do that when we are back home, I can't wait to discover where that might lead to." Rosalie said with a soft smile.
"I'm so glad I can't blush anymore, because that would have made me beet red a month ago." Bella said softly as she pulled her hands out of our pants and wrapped her arms around our waists.
We both smiled at her. "I can feel there is another reaction you're having to this, my love. I can feel your cock twitching." I said softly.
Bella smiled and kissed me. "If you don't want me to make a mess in these pants, you won't tease me right now."
We smiled at that. "We aren't teasing you, my love. We're merely stating that we are looking forward to the moment we are alone again." Rosalie said softly.
She only smiled as we cuddled into her, all three of us whispering sweet nothings to each other.
Bella's POV
I was very glad the plane landed when it did because I don't know how much longer I could have lasted with both Rosalie and Alice teasing me and Kate's constant prodding to spill the beans on our sexlife.
Thankfully Kate was deterred from her questions by the constant calming presence of Tanya and Natasha, who were as cute together as Rosalie, Alice and I were, and therefor were just as much the target of Kate's well meant jabs at the cuteness they were portraying.
Now that we were finally in a car with Carmen and Esme, since Carlisle and Eleazar wanted to talk science, we were very content to be cuddled up together in the backseat of the Porsche Panamera we had rented. "Alright, so now that we are alone and Emmett and Kate are not here to tease you about it, we want to know everything about your transformation and your month in isolation." Esme said as she turned towards us.
We smiled at her and I shared a quick look with my mates, who also smiled at me. "Well you all know that it only took two days, and I have to say that everything they prepared me for was not even close to the real thing. At some point I really thought I would wake up as a pile of ash with eyes and a raging boner, because as weird as it may sound, that was the only thing I could feel. I don't remember if I screamed, but I don't believe I did. There are very little, and I do mean very little things that I would ever deny my mates, but hearing me scream in pain is one of them. I'm sure you two don't want to know about the things we did, because I am sure you can guess, but that first hunt they took me on was amazing. Apparently Alice and Rosalie think that I already feed with the grace of a centuries old vampire, and we shared plenty of animals in the month we've been away. Apparently that is also a rarity, at least when one of the mates is a newborn."
"You didn't scream once, love. It was the most amazing feat of strength I have ever seen in a transitioning human. You're so amazingly strong." Alice said with a soft smile.
I smiled and kissed her softly. "That is amazing Bella. I never realized how strong you actually are. You really are a one of a kind woman, even now that you are a vampire." Esme said softly.
"Thanks Mom, that means a lot to me. I just didn't want to cause Rosie and Alice pain by screaming my lungs out, and while the pain was worse than anything I have ever felt, which by all accounts is a lot in my life, I refused to let the two women I love more than anything to share in that pain, I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I did that to them after everything they have done for me." I said softly.
Rosalie and Alice pressed a long kiss to my neck. "Your too sweet sometimes." Alice said softly.
Esme and Carmen both cooed at that. "You're such a romantic, Bella. I have never heard such a level of commitment and loving declarations from someone, but if you're not careful you might run out of things to say in your vows." Esme said softly.
I smiled at that. "Don't worry Mom, I have plenty of things to say about Rosalie and Alice for at least the coming decade, and I am sure we will be married within ten years."
"You're damn right we will be. If Alice would let us get away with eloping, we already would have, but far be it from me to rob our mate of her humongous wedding." Rosalie said with a soft smile.
"Don't act like you don't want a big wedding as well. You've been browsing dresses for over forty years." Alice said with a slight pout.
Rosalie smiled at that. "And you've been planning our wedding for how long exactly, my Pixie?"
Alice huffed adorably at that. "Only a couple of decades."
We both smiled and kissed her softly. "You're so adorable when you huff." I said softly.
She smiled and relaxed against me. "You're always adorable, so there." She said as she stuck out her tongue at me and Rosalie.
"And so incredibly mature too." Rosalie said teasingly.
"Since I know what happens when you three tease each other, I hope you still have enough presence of mind to not jump each other in this car. We would rather not be witness to the things you do to each other." Esme said a bit flustered.
I smiled at her. "Don't worry Mom, we usually do this when we forget where we are. We'll keep out urges under control."
Esme smiled at us. "We've all been there at some point, my sweets. Those urges never really go away, even for your father and I."
"Mom, we're not having this conversation again. For the sake of our sanity we pretend that you and Carlisle don't have a sex life." I said softly.
Carmen and Esme giggled at that. "There is nothing wrong with having a healthy sex life, sweetie. Everyone in our family enjoys those aspects of the mating bond." Carmen said with a smile through the rearview mirror.
I groaned softly at the mental imagery that came with that. "I'm so glad Edward isn't in the car with us and that he can't read my mind. The mental imagery will stay with me for a couple of decades."
Rosalie smiled and kissed me softly. "We'll think of a few ways to get those images out of your head, my love. We have our wedding night to look forward to and both Ali and I have a lot of ideas we can try."
I really couldn't help getting a bit hard from her words. "Please Rosie, don't do this to me now. It is taking all of my willpower not to get hard."
They smiled and kissed my cheek. "Okay love, we'll stop for now, but as soon as we are able, we will cuddle with you in a bed."
I nodded and smiled as they relaxed against me again, while Esme and Carmen smiled their usual motherly smiles at me, and thankfully the conversation turned to more neutral topics, like our wedding, for the rest of the trip.
Rosalie's POV
The moment we drove into Volterra, Bella was getting increasingly more restless, which was obvious by the way she kept lightly dragging her nails across my back.
"Don't worry love, the Volturi will love you and I am sure the Bella effect will show itself today. You have enamored every vampire, save one, who ever crossed your path and today will be no different. We'll all be there by your side." Alice said softly once we had gotten out of the car.
She smiled and kissed us softly. "I know, but I just can't help but be nervous. I don't know how to act in company. Family is easy, but this is way out of my comfort zone."
Esme wrapped her arms around our young mate and pressed a kiss to the top of her head. "Just be yourself today, sweetie. Aro will see everything the three of you have been through in Alice and Rosalie's mind. He has a gift similar to Edward, but with the big difference that he can see every thought you've ever had with a single touch, although we are sure that he won't be able to read you because of your shield."
Bella smiled and relaxed in her arms. "Thanks Mom, that means a lot to me, and I know everything will be fine, but I can't help the nerves."
Esme only smiled at her and kept Bella enveloped in her arms until the others arrived, while I mirrored the pose with Alice.
It took another ten minutes before everyone was here and Bella was once again in our arms. Bella was very touchy feely with Esme and we both knew it was something she craved from a mother, and Esme never had any objections in obliging her, and we surprisingly didn't mind them having such a close mother-daughter bond. We knew Esme wasn't a threat to our relationship, and Bella needed a mother after going so many years without one.
"What are you two thinking about? I can almost see the wheels in your head turning." Bella asked with a soft smile.
I smiled and kissed her softly. "Nothing much love, just thinking about how sweet you always are with Esme. It warms my heart that you finally have the mother you deserve."
Bella smiled at that as she relaxed against me. "You both know that you mean everything to me, but especially in the early years, I will need a mother, and again I have you two to thank for giving me everything I have ever wanted. I have felt more loved in a few months with your family than I felt in any other time in my life, and that is not anything negative to my grandmother, who gave it her all, but I really missed that motherly love and the ability to talk to someone when life got too much for me."
I smiled and squeezed her waist. "Thanks to Alice we knew a little of what would happen when we revealed everything to you that Saturday, but before that we saw how withdrawn you were at school, and in one of her visions. We also saw how you blossomed after just one interaction with Esme."
"You guys made that easy. There was so much chaos in the house that I couldn't help but be myself. I have always thrived on chaos and to be honest it doesn't get much more chaotic than our household." Bella said with a soft smile.
Alice and I smiled at her. "That is most definitely true, we've always been a chaotic family, even more so when you joined us, but we wouldn't change any of the things, because it also brought us the love of our lives and it has given Esme another daughter." Alice said softly.
Bela smiled and kissed us as Carlisle and Eleazar came back. "They are ready for us, and I hope I don't have to remind everyone to be respectful today." He said kindly.
We all nodded as we followed them in, since they were the ones that used to live here, which was part of the protocol the Volturi upheld.
Alice and I walked hand in hand with Bella, who had a look of wonder written clearly on her flawless features. "What's wrong love?" I asked softly.
"This castle must be thousands of years old. Imagine all the ages of history that must reside within these walls." She said softly.
I smiled at her, but kept quiet for now. History was hardly my forte, and I am sure if given the chance she could wander these halls for days with Jasper in search of history to uncover.
Alice merely giggled at our mate's exuberance over something other than sex, or anything else that had to do with us. This, along with her love of music and writing was so uniquely her that we couldn't help but smile at her.
"I know you don't like to hear it, but you are pretty adorable when you're so excited." Alice said with a soft smile.
Bella smiled and pecked her cheek. "Thanks love, but I don't mind it in this instance."
Alice and I smiled and kissed her softly as we came to the double doors that led to the Throne Room, and we both gave Bella a loving squeeze to let her know we were here for her.
Bella's POV
As we walked into the called Throne Room, I was awed with what I saw. Six thrones stood next to each other with about a dozen robed vampires around the room.
The man in the middle throne smiled brightly at us and stood before walking towards us. "Ah, the Cullens and Denali's. Welcome once again to Volterra. I see both Coven's have expanded since the last time we saw you all."
Carlisle smiled and nodded. "Yes Aro, allow me to introduce you to our youngest daughter, Bella. She is Rosalie and Alice's mate."
"Ah, young Bella. I must say immortality suits you very well. Carlisle and Eleazar have told me much about your gifts and history. May I see?" He asked with a smile.
I shared a quick look with Alice and Rosalie, who smiled at me. "Of course, Lord Aro, but I hope you won't be disappointed when you see nothing. Edward can't read my mind either."
"I will not be disappointed or offended, young Bella. I am merely curious." He said as he held out his hand for me to take.
I placed my hand in his and waited as his eyes fluttered closed. "I see⦠absolutely nothing. It seems you truly are an enigma. I look forward to seeing your gifts develop."
I smiled and bowed. "Thank you Lord Aro. According to Eleazar my gifts were unique because they were active even when I was human."
"Yes, you are quite unique in our world. Tell me, how did you come to meet the Cullens and Denali's?" He asked kindly.
I smiled at him. "Technically I met the Denali's first. I have lived in New York for most of my life with my grandmother because my birth parents wanted nothing to do with me. When I was fifteen I took a job waiting tables at a local strip-club which was owned by Tanya, Kate and Irina. I quickly befriended them, but I never realized what they where. It was only after my grandmother died and I was forced to move back to Forks to live with my father and I met Alice and Rosalie at school that I started to have my suspicions. I heard the legend of the Cold Ones from the native Americans that lived on a reservation near Forks since I was little and was visiting my father. He was good friends with one of them and I recently learned that they were shifters. I started reading up on that after that first day and Alice and Rosalie revealed everything when I was there that weekend. Because of the circumstances it was impossible to turn me immediately, but I am sure you know those circumstances from Carlisle. I moved in with them that day, mostly because I was done waiting for my father to kick me out, which he had threatened to do since I was four years old and was going to do as soon as I was eighteen. I merely thought ahead and the Cullens were kind enough to offer me a place to live. After that it all went rather quickly and I was turned just after my birthday a little over a month ago, but not before we ended one of the shifters because he thought he had a claim on me and my father because he threatened to kill me."
"That is quite the story, and I must say that I am happy that you have found a loving family. But I do have to ask about these shifters. Do you know when they were able to shift. Was it during a full moon, or were they able to shift whenever they wanted?" Aro asked kindly.
"To be honest I have only seen one of them shift, but it seemed he was able to willingly shift, or be forced to when his emotions got the better of him, which with being the hothead he was wasn't that difficult. But I am pretty sure they can shift at will." I said honestly.
He nodded and smiled. "That is good news. They seem to just be shifters and not actual Children of the Moon, but if you don't mind, I would rather see everything that has happened to you since joining the Cullens. Young Alice, may I see?"
She smiled and nodded as she came to stand next to me and placed her hand in Aro's, and again his eyes fluttered closed. "I see, I admire both of your strength and willpower not to end her father immediately. I am glad you are finally complete. The change is noticeable."
Alice smiled at him. "Thank you Lord Aro. I will admit it was a surprise to find Bella so willing and relaxed about everything. Even her transformation surprised us."
"Yes, two days is indeed a miracle." Aro said with a kind smile.
"I'm sorry to intrude, but your bond sings to me like a song of angels. May I see?" One of the other kings asked.
"Of course Lord Marcus, we would be honored." Rosalie said as she came to stand next to us.
I am sure the look on my face was puzzled, but I trusted them to know what was going to happen. "Marcus can see the different bonds in people. It is because of his relationship with his wife Didyme that the mating bond is held in such high regard in our world." Rosalie said softly.
I nodded at that. "Amazing. Your bond is so vibrant and almost seems to pulse with life. Thank you for sharing."
All three of us smiled and bowed before he made his way back to his throne. "Now that we have gotten the formalities out of the way, feel free to stay as long as you like, although we would appreciate it if we could have some time to talk to the Denali's separately. It is high time we clear up the bad blood between us." Aro said kindly.
All of us bowed before taking out leave, Tanya and her sisters staying behind for a bit longer.
"Well, that could've gone a lot worse. I am very proud of you for telling everything so candidly, Bella." Carlisle said with a smile.
I smiled and gave him a hug. "Is there somewhere we could freshen up a little? It has been a long trip."
He nodded at that. "We've been given rooms for the duration of our stay, come, I'll lead you to them."
We smiled at him and I couldn't resist wrapping an arm around both Alice and Rosalie's waist. "We're also very proud of you love. It couldn't have been easy to retell everything again." Alice said softly.
"It wasn't easy, but things rarely are easy in life. I had you two close, so that made it easier to retell everything." I said softly.
They smiled and rested their heads on my shoulder as we walked, all three of us content to spend an eternity like this if we had to.
