Bella POV
The moment that Paul started shaking I knew that there would be no way for me to calm him down. All I could do was make sure everyone was out of the way.
"Everyone move!" No sooner did everyone get away did Paul shift.
I walk up to him and swat him in the nose. "Seriously Paul, Sam still hasn't trained you." All he can do is whine. All the vampires gasp while the shifters are just laughing at our display.
"Don't worry she does this all the time. Bella is the only one that can put Paul in his place and get away with it." Sam tells the others around us. I guess to anyone who isn't use to our antics would be shocked at me swatting Paul.
I look Paul in the eyes. "What the hell Paul Aro couldn't control that I was his mate just like you all can't control who you imprint on.
The pack just nods their heads in understanding. I never explained what vampires finding their mate was like, but comparing it to an imprint seems to make them understand it better.
"Now shift back Paul and talk to me like an adult and not some rabid animal."
He just nods his head at me and shift back. I cover my eyes so that I don't have to see him naked….again. When I hear him zip up his shorts I uncover my eyes.
"Damn B, you act like you have never seen me naked before." He just winks at me as Aro growls. I can't help but roll my eyes at his antics. I turn and glare at Aro.
"There is no reason to growl he didn't mean it like that. Dumbass over here," I point to Paul, "phased in front of me the first time I met him and just like you witnessed today I put him right in his place and he phased back human, but at the time I didn't know he phased without his clothes so I wasn't prepared like I am now."
Jasper is just laughing, "you forgot to mention how you slapped him and this is what caused him to phase in the first place."
This causes Caius and Marcus to start laughing and Aro to be even more worried.
"He deserved it."
"Looks like you have your hands full Aro." Caius is laughing so hard making Aro growl at him.
"Oh but Caius this is why he has two hands." I smirk at him causing Aro to laugh now.
I turn back around and growl at Paul who has the decency to look ashamed.
"I'm sorry B, I just wasn't prepared to hear that you were mated to a vampire."
I hug him. "It's alright Paul can't say I was prepared for it myself but I am happy about it." I can't help but smile at Aro who is smiling in return.
"Paul you need to know that I am moving to Volterra with Aro. We both know I don't have anything here for me anymore except for the pack. I don't even see or hear from Charlie anymore."
The pack his looking at each other.
"Seriously guys what's going on?"
Jacob is the one to step forward.
"Bells we thought you knew, but Charlie got married before you left for Italy."
I can't believe what I am hearing he got married and didn't even have the decency to tell me that he was. Couldn't even tell me to my face that he never wanted to see me again. Before anyone can stop me I am running into the house destroying everything in sight. When the living room is completely trashed I run up to Charlies room just to find the only thing that was left in there was his mattress and nightstand. On the night stand sat a photo of us when I was a baby sitting in his lap.
I grab the photo and just stare at it. I knew Charlie never wanted me but Renee refused to end her pregnancy. She always wanted to be a mom, I don't know what she thought being a mom would entail but she was never a mother, she always just cared about herself I practically raised myself.
Aro takes me into his arms and sets me on the couch. I look up to everyone else who is just looking at me utterly heartbroken. Aro refuses to let me go.
Jasper takes my hand "Bella I know what you're feeling but after today you will never have to feel that way again. You have a family that will always be here for you. You are wanted and I hate that the people who raised you made you feel so unwanted, but even if it's the last thing I do I will make you feel loved and wanted again." All I can do is nod.
Aro is the next to speak. "Cara listen to him, I speak for everyone here when I say we love you and will take care of you. I know you just met some of us but you got us to love you without even opening your mouth." Caius and Marcus are laughing but nod in agreement to what Aro said.
"Yeah B, and I already told you I would be there for you even after your heart stopped beating nothing will change that.
I get up and hug him. "You know I am going to miss you so much."
"Who say's your gonna miss me?"
I let go of him and look him in the eyes.
"What do you mean Paulie?"
"B, you know I have no one here except for the pack, but in such a short time you have become my family I can't lose you now. I am coming with you."
"Are you serious?! Sam is going to allow this?"
I look to Sam who is smiling at us.
"Yes I am allowing this. You're the only one who can keep Paul in line he is even starting to fight my alpha command. You are the one who has his loyalty not me. But you both must visit from time to time."
I run up and hug Sam as tight as I can.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you."
I turn and look to Aro. "I will be able to visit right?"
He takes me back in his arms. "Oh Cara I would never dream of keeping you away, they already know the secret so I don't see the harm."
I can't help but feel excited. I turn to Aro and hug him tight. "Thank you, you don't know how much this means to me."
"I think I do my beloved." He kisses me forehead.
"You have a strong bond with this one my daughter. His bond is just as strong as the majors and Caius'"
"Only I would have this many bonds with the supernatural in such a short time."
Everyone is just laughing at me now until Paul clears his throat and hands me some note.
"This was on the kitchen table it's from Charlie."
I open the note and read aloud.
Bella-
I've remarried. My wife and I have bought a house together and plan on starting our own family. I need you to be moved out in a month so that we can sale this home.
-Charlie
Everyone in the room is growling. I kiss Aro's cheek and get out of his embrace.
"Well you heard him people lets get packing."
I walk upstairs with Caius, Marcus, Jasper, and Aro following me. I walk to my closet and start throwing all my clothes into my suitcases.
When I turn around I see that they have already packed up the rest of my room and Aro is just lounging in my bed. He just smiles and opens his arms up to me. I crawl into his embrace snuggling into his chest.
"Are you ready to start our new life my beloved."
"Very much so. Come on let's get out of here I am ready to be rid of this place."
He just nods and grabs my suitcases before I can even say anything. We make our way downstairs to see everyone gone.
"They went to Jaspers place to get your room ready. We are going to meet them there." All I can do is nod and make my way out the door.
This chapter of my life is over. It's time to move forward with my new life and family.
