Alice - APOV

A vision washes over me as I open my mouth to respond. I see Aro sitting in what looks like a study as the phone rings. He picks up with a smile and says: "Demetri, I was wondering when you were going to call. Did everything go as planned?" I watch as Aro's face goes through quite a few different emotions before settling for unrefined anger. His response leaves no room for interpretation. "He dared to conspire against the Volturi?! He attempted to kill the captain of my guard and to break my daughter's heart?! Bring him to me, Demetri. I will make him regret the day he was born."

Demetri - DPOV

I give Bella another soft kiss on the lips and pull out my phone. She looks at me questioningly and I say: "I need to call Aro immediately. He needs to know what happened and I can only imagine how he is going to react."

Bella gently cups my face and says: "Someone tried to attack members of his coven, Demetri. He will be furious; I know that I still am. Edward tried to take you away from me; he tried to ruin our happiness." I stop her with a passionate kiss, not wanting to hear how disastrous this day could have ended. Bella smiles softly as she pulls back. "Call Aro, Demi. I want to go home. I miss Italy."

I quickly put on my clothes before selecting Aro's number. I wait for Aro to pick up while Bella puts on her clothes. "Demetri, I was wondering when you were going to call. Did everything go as planned?" I take a deep breath and start my brief report of everything that happened today. There is a brief silence as I stop talking. I hear a low growl before Aro answers: "He dared to conspire against the Volturi?! He attempted to kill the captain of my guard and to break my daughter's heart?! Bring him to me, Demetri. I will make him regret the day he was born."

I raise my brow as Aro calls my Bella his daughter. I knew he felt a different connection to her than to the other members of the guard. I wonder if Marcus saw that bond too. Bella is looking at me; the shock and surprise are clearly visible on her face. I pull her into my side and continue my conversation with Aro. "Yes, Master Aro, we will leave immediately. The plane is standing by. We didn't get the chance to meet up with Eleazar, Master. Do you want someone to stay behind and wait for him, Master?"

"No, I'll call him and invite him to Volterra. I want you to deliver that traitor to me as soon as possible. Oh, wait until I tell Caius about this. Edward is truly going to wish he died all those years ago. Bring him to us!"

Aro ends the call before I can answer him. I stroke Bella's hair until she's ready to talk and kiss the top of her head. "What's wrong, cara mia?"

Bella – BPOV

Memories flood my brain as Aro call me his daughter over the phone. Images of a little girl playing with her dad in the backyard are followed by images of birthday parties and Christmas Eve dinners. Demetri pulls me into his side as I try to center my thoughts. God, I miss Charlie so much. I didn't realize just how much until Aro called me his daughter. Demetri strokes my hair in a calming gesture after he finishes his call with Aro and kisses the top of my head before asking: "What's wrong, cara mia?"

I pull back a little so that I can look into his eyes and say: "I miss my dad so much, Demi. I know that I would have lost him eventually, but he was ripped from my life. I never got to tell him how much I loved him. I know I'm being ridiculous. I'm blessed with the most amazing husband in the whole world. You make me so happy I could burst. You love me unconditionally and you gave me a home and a family. Thanks to you I have brothers and sisters that accept me for who I am. My life is so perfect already. I can't believe that fate would give me someone to call dad for eternity too."

Demetri kisses my forehead and looks into my eyes as he whispers: "I can't think of anyone more deserving, amore mio. You're loving and kind. You're the most caring person I have ever met. You're my own personal angel. If anyone has to thank fate, it's me. I love you so much, Bella, I would bring you the moon if you asked me too, so don't ever think you're not worthy of something, because you are."

I sigh happily as I kiss my wonderful husband softly. "You don't think that it was a spur-of-the-moment thing, that he called me his daughter but didn't really mean it?"

Demetri shakes his head as pushes a lock of hair behind my ear. "No, he meant it and I can't say that I didn't see it coming. Aro chose to send all five of us to assist Carlisle. He asked me to keep in close contact, which was strange because we've dealt with this sort of problem numerous times before and I normally only call him when we run into problems. He was more anxious this time because you are a part of the guard now. Aro never saw any of us as his child. He cares for us as the leader of the coven, but that's different from how he feels for you. He worries about you as a father should. He will be so proud when he reads our thoughts and sees how you saved me and how you handled Victoria. He will be prouder than he ever was of any of us because in his eyes you're his daughter. Aro doesn't call you his daughter if he doesn't mean it. He will never take Charlie's place in your heart, cara mia, but he can be the father figure you want so very much. He will be for you what Carlisle once was."

I can feel the venom tears pooling in my eyes as Demetri comes to the end of his little speech. He looks worried but I put my finger over his lips to stop him from talking. "These are happy tears, Demetri. I'm just so incredibly happy that I have a hard time controlling my emotions. Thank god that Jasper isn't around, he would have a field day trying to figure me out." He snickers as he pulls me close and hugs me tight. "Let's head back, amore mio. We can't keep your father waiting for too long."

I giggle as I say: "You're quite right, Demi. Angering your father-in-law isn't the best idea probably. But then I guess fucking his daughter is already enough to piss a father off." I laugh out loud as Demetri groans at my words. "You are pure evil sometimes, cara mia. Thank god, we don't live in Volterra anymore. I can't imagine making love to you, knowing that Aro is down the hall in his study, hearing everything." He shivers at the thought and kisses my forehead. I take a look at the little town of Forks in the distance and sigh. Demetri looks into my eyes and says: "Do you want to visit Charlie's grave before we leave?"

Demetri - DPOV

I already know the answer to my question as I see how Bella's face lights up at the thought of visiting her real dad. She nods and we make our way to the cemetery at vampire speed, hand in hand. Bella leads me to a grave at the far end of the cemetery and kneels in front of it. She puts her hand on the stone and whispers:

"Hey, dad. I'm sorry that I didn't come to see you sooner. A lot of things changed for me in the last few weeks, but I can tell you that I'm happier than I've ever been. You would have really liked Demetri, dad. He will love me and protect me like you used to do. I'll never want for anything; I can't ask for a better man. I love him with all my heart. We avenged your death; the woman that took you away from me paid the ultimate price. You can rest in peace now. I'll come and visit whenever I can, know that your little girl is happy. I love you so much, dad."

I watch as my mate talks to her father and my love for her grows even more. She is so much stronger than she gives herself credit for. She is right, I will love and protect her for eternity. Bella takes my hand and looks at me, her eyes filled with venom tears, and love. "Thank you, Demi. I needed this more than I realized." I gently cup her face and kiss her softly. "I would do anything to make you happy, tesoro."

"As would I, Demi. Let's go home."

We run back to the Cullens' house and find everyone packed and ready to leave. I notice that Edward is being held under Alec's gift and I raise my brow questioningly. "It's just a precaution, captain. The trip will be easier this way." I nod in understanding and say: "Master Aro is expecting us. The sooner we get to Volterra, the happier he will be. Jane, is the plane ready?"

"Yes, captain. It is standing by, waiting for our arrival. We can depart immediately."

"Nice job, Jane. Let's get moving."

Everyone gets into the cars and we're driving toward Seattle at very high speed in no time. I'm driving the rental car, seeing Alec and Jane are escorting Edward in what I believe is Edward's car, with Felix driving it. I look over to Bella and find her looking at me with a smirk on her face. "What are you thinking about, amore mio. Do I need to be worried?"

"Not at all, Demi, I was just reminiscing. A memory of the outward flight popped up in my mind and I quite enjoyed it."

I groan at the memory of taking my Bella hard and fast on the desk in the small office of the jet. "Tesoro, you're going to be the death of me. I won't be able to think of anything else now. You really are evil sometimes, Mrs. Volturi."

"I know just how to distract you, Mr. Volturi. Please allow me."

I gasp for unneeded air as Bella unzips my pants and her hand slips around my member. I can feel myself hardening instantly. She softly moves her hand up and down, and I shift in my seat to give her better access. I can smell her arousal as she leans down and runs her tongue from base to tip before swirling her tongue around the head. I grab the steering wheel even tighter as she takes me into her mouth and wraps her hand around the base as she slowly swallows me as deeply as she can, moaning around me. The vibrations shoot right through me and I groaned: "Fuck, Bella!"

I drop my head back against the headrest and try to keep my eyes focused on the road, while Bella speeds up her pace. It's getting impossible for me to form a coherent sentence. This woman is simply divine. "Tesoro, please, don't stop… I'm… Bella!" I cry out her name as she pushes me over the edge, and come into her mouth. Bella moans as she swallows everything I gave her and licks her lips as she moves back into her seat. I growl softly and pull her to me for a passionate kiss. "Come here you. You're mine."

Bella pulls back a little and says: "Only yours, Demi, for eternity." I smile and kiss the top of her head. I keep my arm around her for the rest of the drive softly stroking her side while Bella softly draws circles on my thigh with her hand. We're the first car to pull up next to the Volturi jet. I quickly check my pants and shake my head at the smug look on my wife's face.

Bella – BPOV

I can't help but feel extremely proud and good about myself as Demetri zips up his pants again and checks them for stains. I'll never forget the look on his face as he realized what I was up to and how his voice cracked as he released in my mouth. I moan softly as I recall his taste. My husband tastes divine. I move to the back of the car and pull our bags from the trunk. I bring them to the plane as Demetri waits for the others to arrive. I move into one of the front seats, knowing that Felix and Alec will probably move Edward to the back of the plane.

I stare out of the window as the rest boards the plane. Felix and Alec lead Edward to the back of the plane as I thought and I sigh happily as Demetri plops down in the seat next to me and pulls me close. Seconds later the plane starts moving down the runway. I lean into Demetri and move my head to rest on his shoulder. Hours pass by while Demetri strokes my hair. I close my eyes and listen to the whispered conversations of the mated pairs around us. No one is looking forward to the meeting with Master Aro that much is clear. I wonder if he will let me call him 'dad' or 'father'.

I open my eyes and ask for Demetri's phone. He looks at me questioningly and I motion to the text that I'm typing. He snickers and kisses the top of my head. "I would love to see the look on his face when he reads that text, amore mio. It's a good thing that he can't die of a heart attack anymore." I giggle as I read the incoming text and quickly delete it before Demetri can read it. He pouts when he notices what I did and says: "What's so funny, cara mia?"

"You'll find out soon enough, Demi. Patience is a virtue, you know?"

He growls and his eyes turn pitch-black instantly. "I'll remind you of that later and I promise you that you're going to wish that you never said that to me." Oh god, I can feel the arousal pooling between my legs and moan softly as I see the smug look on his face. Fuck, he's so hot when he's bossy. He kisses me passionately and I mentally slap myself as I realize how much I'm going to regret saying that. He snickers as his fingers caress my inner thigh. I press my legs together for some much-needed friction but Demetri stops me with his hand. I hiss and say: "Now who is pure evil, Mr. Volturi?"

"It will be worth it, amore mio. I promise." His promise has me shivering and I pull him close for another kiss. We break apart as the plane starts its descent into Florence airport. I squeal in delight. We're almost home. We make our way out of the plane and into one of the three black SUVs that are waiting for us. They speed toward Volterra immediately. I sigh happily as I look at the beautiful Italian countryside. I can't wait to watch the sunset from our terrace at Villa Bella.

We reach Volterra in record time. I look at the Cullens as they get out of their car. I can see the unease on their faces. I don't need to have Jasper's gift to know that they're worried. Demetri is talking to Jane who nods and makes her way out of the garage at vampire speed. I walk over to my mate and stand by his side as Alec and Felix guide Edward out of the car. Demetri looks at them and says: "Bring him to the holding cell on the ground floor and escort the rest of the family to the reception."

Demetri takes my hand and leads me toward the palace. He leans down to whisper in my ear and says: "You need to feed, tesoro, your eyes are so dark. Let's see if there's someone in storage for you to lessen your thirst. "My hand moves to my throat as I realize that he's right. I give him a quick kiss and hold out my hand as I say: "I love how you care for me, Demi. Join me?" He nods and we run to the storage room at vampire speed to feed.

I let out a soft moan as the blood quenches the thirst as I drain some dark human. I sigh as the blood runs out and look up to see Demetri holding another one. "Share with me, tesoro." I rush to his side and stare into his eyes as we bite down on opposite sides of the human's neck. I can feel my lust rising and battle against it, knowing that now is definitely not the time to drag my husband to our old quarters. As the blood runs out, Demetri drops the body to the ground and pulls me close against him. He kisses me passionately and says: "Ti amo, Bella. I can't wait to take you home."

I place another kiss on his lips and say: "I love you too, my husband. Let's go see Aro. The sooner we get this over with, the sooner we can go home." We run to the reception and find Felix, Alec, and the Cullens waiting for us. Demetri turns to Gianna who bows her head and says: "Welcome back, captain. Master Aro is expecting you. He told me to let you through immediately."

He gives her a nod and turns to Carlisle. "You are here as our guests, Carlisle. We will show you your rooms after we meet with the Masters. We shouldn't keep them waiting any longer. Lead the way, Felix."

Felix nods and leads the Cullens toward the throne room while Alec, Demetri, and I follow closely behind. The Masters are sitting on their thrones as we enter and I immediately notice the angry looks on their faces as they look at the Cullens. Jane is standing on the dais and I realize that she already showed Aro everything that happened in Forks.

I look at Aro and see how his expression changes to relief as he looks at me. I look at the man who wants to be my father for eternity and run toward him. "Papà!" He gives me a soft smile and opens his arms to hug me. I can feel that everyone is staring at us but I don't care. He hugs me and kisses my hair. I can feel the venom tears pooling in my eyes as he says: "Bella, my daughter, I am so relieved that you are back home. Jane gave me a full mission report. You make an old man proud. Your gift only confirms what we already knew. You are exceptional, my daughter. Demetri is a very lucky man."

"Grazie, papà. It's so good to be home."

Demetri - DPOV

I watch as my mate runs into Aro's arms and smile as I see the relief on Aro's face now that Bella is back home. Everyone in the throne room is stunned into silence as they watch the interaction between Master Aro and my Bella. I must admit that it will take some getting used to. A few minutes pass as Aro asks Bella a few questions about the mission and tells her that Eleazar will be arriving tomorrow to determine the true nature of her gift before leading her back to me. Aro looks me straight into the eyes as he says:

"I hope that you realize just how lucky you are. If you ever hurt her…"

"I would rather die than ever hurt Bella, Master. She is my life."

"My daughter doesn't deserve anything less than your total devotion. This makes you my son-in-law, captain. Make me proud."

Bella hugs me tight as I nod to Aro in agreement. I look at her face and I can see the mischief in her eyes. I bet this little display has something to do with the text she sent on the plane. I shake my head as I kiss her softly and whisper: "You will be the death of me, Mrs. Volturi."

The whispers start as Aro walks back to his throne at human speed. He turns around with a murderous grin on his face as Emmett whispers: "Bella is Aro's daughter?! Oh boy, Edward is so fucked." Aro truly looks like the devil as he hisses: "I will make him regret the day he was born, young Cullen. Nobody messes with my daughter and walks away from it."
