Bella POV

Chapter 21

Aro and I walk into the thrown room where everyone is waiting for us. Caius walks down from his throne to greet me.

"Ah sweet Isabella it is so wonderful to see you awake young one." With that he takes me in his arms hugging me tightly.

"It is wonderful to see you Caius." Next I turn to Marcus who is waiting for me with open arms. I rush into his arms relishing in the feel of the man I see as my father now loving me more than even my own human father.

I feel venomous tears running down my face. I reach up to wipe them away confused.

"Uh, I thought I wouldn't be able to cry once I was turned." Everyone else is looking at me in wonder.

Jasper steps up "you're not suppose to be able to cry Bella, seems like you are going to be unlike any newborn we have ever seen."

With that he takes me into his arms "it is wonderful that I will be able to have you in my life forever sister." I snuggle into his chest. I wouldn't have it any other way my brother.

Peter clears is throat drawing our attention. "I have a feeling Bella is just going to be full of surprises." He gives us his knowing smile, I know better than to ask him what he knows because he never gives you a straight answer. Charlotte is just beaming beside him. I walk up to them both hugging them tightly.

"I cannot wait to see what my new sister has in store for us." Char says while Peter kisses me head.

Alice is waiting beside them bouncing on her heels in excitement. She pulls me into a hug no longer being able to wait.

"It's good to see you too Alice." She just giggles at me before turning serious.

"Bella I am so sorry I didn't see that Edward would do something like that. He knows better than anyone how to get around my gift."

I hug her again, "I don't blame you Alice, Edward would've found some way to do what he did. If it wasn't in the throne room he probably would've found a way to get me alone and do what he wanted. He was determined even I could see that." She just nods in response.

I giggle at her. Jane, Alec, Felix, and Demetri are the next to hug me.

"It's good to see you all too."

I see the Cullen's all huddled together, I walk up to them. "Hello Cullen's"

"Bella it is wonderful to see you. You make an amazing immortal, we are all sorry for what Edward did to you, we really thought he was okay with you being Aro's mate and meant you no harm. We know he must be punished and we will not fight whatever you all choose for that punishment." I can see how painful it is for Carlisle to possibly see his first son destroyed. I don't know what his punishment should be.

"If I am being honest Carlisle I don't know how he should be punished, but I think the first step would be to talk to Edward try to get some answers and we can discuss his punishment after he has been questioned."

Carlisle just smiles at me, "you are going to be a wonderful queen Isabella."

Esme steps up next to Carlisle. I didn't have a chance to talk to any of the other Cullen's before Edwards attack so now I am nervous to confront them all.

Before I can say anything Esme is already tearing up. "Bella, my sweet Bella, I am so sorry for abandoning you. I want you to know that none of us wanted to leave you, but at the time we caved and went along with what Edward wanted and for that I can never forgive myself. I saw you as my daughter and I just left you what kind of mother does that?"

I take Esme in my arms, "You are forgiven Esme. I loved every single one of you and I can't say I'm not hurt by your abandonment, but I just want to move forward and start new."

Esme just nods and snuggles into Carlisle's side. Rosalie is the next one to approach me. I take a deep breath not knowing what to expect. She did the last thing I ever thought possible. She hugged me tightly and cried into my shoulder. I just looked up to Emmet who shrugged his shoulders. He obviously has no idea what is going on.

When Rosalie has finally collected herself she pulls away looking me in my eyes as she speaks to me. "I am sorry for the way I treated you before Bella, I had my reasons which when we have time I would like to tell you in private."

"I would like that Rosalie, even though I thought you hated me I always liked you and only wanted to get to know you. I am happy we will be able to that now."

As soon as a finish that sentence I am being picked up and swung around. "I missed you Belly bean I am so sorry for leaving you, I have been a horrible brother and will spend the rest of my existence making it up to you." I can't help but giggle at Emmet's actions.

"I forgive you Emmet and now we have forever together." He just laughs and puts me down where Aro is there waiting for me. I snuggle into his missing his arms around me.

He kissed the side of my head before talking to the Cullen's. "I am so glad you all will be here. After your 100 years in the guard I would like to extend the invitation for you all to stay so that My Mate can have all of her family together."

I just squeals in delight before hugging Aro a little to tightly. "My sweet Mate you are strong than me now." I pulls away quickly ducking my head in embarrassment. Aro just laughs at me.

"It is alright sweet Bella no harm done." He kisses me lightly on the lips. I can't help but want more and Aro can sense this.

"Well you have all seen my Mate and know that she is well, so if you don't mind I would like to spend sometime alone with her reacquainting ourselves." He winks at me and I giggle. Everyone else also laughs.

Aro throws me over his shoulder and runs off to our room. He lays me down on the bed hovering over me. I stroke his cheek admiring how handsome he is, my human eyes did not do him justice.

"No my sweet Mate I am going to make love to you and fully claim you as mine." I can't help how much he turns me on and I know he can smell my arousal because he just smirks at me in response.

I can't wait for him any longer I rip his shirt from his body wanting to feel him.

"Impatient are we?" I just nod not able to speak right now.

"Very well, I am not going to take it so easy on you this time my love." I just moan in response.

We spend the rest of the day and night in bed not wanting to separate from one another. When we first fully mated we bit each other's neck during our climax fully cementing our bond.

I run my fingers along my mark. It feels amazing to claim one another. Aro kisses my mark make me tingle all over.

"You are mine for eternity my sweet." I smile at him in response.

"I love that I am yours forever Aro I wouldn't have it any other way."

Knowing this wonderful man wants me forever feels amazing. Knowing that I will have my Mate with me forever makes me so happy. He has also made it to where I can have my family with me for eternity.

"We must dress now My love and head to the throne room, I think it is time to speak with young Edward."

"I agree."

I dress quickly happy that I can actually control my strength and dress myself. Seems like I won't have to rely on the others to take care of me. I am nervous to deal with Edward though. I don't know what he has to say for himself. This should really be interesting.
