Aro POV
The moment we hear Bella yell at Edward for touching her we all laugh. She has a backbone now, she is no longer the quiet human Edward once knew. This is excellent.
When he tells her Victoria was never a threat to her I can't help but growl. I have already gotten the full story from the Major about what happened to my Mate. I am happy he killed that wretched woman saved me the trouble of having to do it myself. I look over to the Major who is also angry with this. When we hear Alice slap Edward for Bella we are laughing again. I know my Mate probably wanted to do that to him herself but I wouldn't want her to hurt herself. Hearing her call Felix "big guy" I cant help but feel bad for him, he doesn't show it but I know that he is insecure about his height.
Seems that Bella is very observant about this because she reassures him about this while also taking another jab at Edward. When I hear the doors open I can't contain my excitement at seeing my Mate. She is beautiful more so than what Edwards memories allowed me to see of her. She looks healthier than she did in those memories. I see her studying the room. I swear she was made to be a vampire. When she takes off and jumps into the Majors arms I can see every ones shock. No one dares touch the Major because they are all so afraid of him, but this little slip of a human jumps into his arms williningly. When she hugs his Captain and Leutenant this increases the shock felt in the room even I am surprised at her boldness. She is talking to them like they are old friends. When she turns and see's everyone in the room staring at her she eases the tension.
"What can't a girl hug her brother?"
This causes my brothers and I to laugh drawing her attention to us.
"Oh so you all must be the Volturi kings, it is so nice to meet you Edward has told me so much about you." This causes Edward to growl at her. I can't suppress my growl which instantly shuts him up.
Cauis is the first to speak, "And what exactly has he told you sweet human." He is glaring at Edward who shrinks back under his gaze. This causes Peter and Jasper to laugh. Bella just smirks at Cauis.
"Well lets see, you are Cauis you are known as the warrior king; nice work with the children of the moon by the way. Some of my closest friends are shapeshifters that happen to turn into wolves so lets not kill them 'kay." All he can do is nod at her.
She then turns to Marcus "you are Marcus, I am so sorry about your Mate, you have the gift to see people's bonds."
Marcus surprises us all "Thank you sweet child, I already see that you and I have the bond would you like to know what that bond is?"
She is smiling nodding her head eagerly.
"You and I have the bond that of a father and daughter." Bella is shocked and I can see her eyes well up with unshed tears. All I want to do is take her in my arms but I fight that urge not wanting to scare her away.
"That is amazing Marcus," Bella walks up and hugs Marcus to my surprise he stands gathering her in his arms. "I don't have a relationship with my father never have."
Marcus just smiles down at her, "you no longer have to worry about that my daughter."
She releases Marcus and stares at me. The moment we make eye contact I hear her gasp and then smile. I can't hide the smile that makes it's way onto my face.
She starts walking to me slowly, "you are Aro you can see every thought and memory just from touching them. I did not know about how handsome you were though, and if I am not mistaken you are also my Mate."
Edward starts growling again when she says this. I place her behind me in case he decides to do something stupid. Before I can address him this beautiful creature behind me speaks first.
"Oh stop growling Edward I already knew I wasn't your Mate. Jasper and I already had this talk, if you were you would've never been able to leave me in the first place." Edward glares at Jasper before he lunges to attack him. Jasper being the more experienced fighter has him pinned to the ground in an instant. He then looks up at my Mate.
"Great moves there Major."
"Good to see you again sugar." The Major just winks at her making her giggle.
I turn to look at her in awe, even the Major is protective of her. I need to get to know this wonderful Mate of mine who not only befriended the Major, but also seems to have already gained friend in three of my toughest guard members and my brothers.
