As Caius watched his bond child leave in Jane's arms face contorted in pain as she held her arm to her chest he was overcome with fury. A bond child was a very rare thing in the vampire world. He personally never met any vampires that had that bond but knew all about it from Marcus. The bond meant that the girl was also his mate's bond child and he almost felt pity for the Cullen boy because he knew as soon as she found out what had happened no one was going to be able to calm her temper. Caius walked up to the boy now being restrained by two of his guard and slapped him in the face. "How dare you hurt my child."
"Bella is not your child, she is my mate." Edward replied. Now that Jane and Alec weren't there he felt his chances of fighting his way out this was better. He just had to get to Bella first but Alice could help him with that.
Alice saw what Edward was planning and growled at him. "You stupid fool! Haven't you done enough? If you try what you are planning all of us will die not just you."
"So he thinks he can make his way out this situation. How intriguing. How was he planning on doing that Alice my dear?" Aro smiled at the small Cullen girl and held out his hand. He didn't know exactly what was going to happen as now that it was confirmed that not only was Bella Caius' bond child but Jane's mate they had final say in the punishment.
Knowing she had no other choice Alice sent another glare at her brother and held her hand out to Aro. She didn't know what the outcome was going to be of this situation as not only was Bella involved but Edward wouldn't stop his plotting. The moron was going to get the entire Cullen coven executed if he didn't keep himself in check. Now that she knew for sure that Bella wasn't his mate and Jane was she knew that if they didn't keep calm heads they both would be in a world of hurt. Alice hoped that Bella cared enough about them to plead with her mate and Caius to let them keep their lives. She couldn't imagine what would happen to Jasper if something happened to her.
Aro laughed as he saw all of Edward's future plans play out in his mind. The boy was insane if he thought he could over power the rest of the guard and get Bella away from Jane. Any want for him to join the Volturi quickly dissipated as he realized what a liability he would be. He looked at the boy in amusement. "Edward my boy I'm going to do you a favor and not tell my brother of the any plans you have made. However I am going to warn him that you are extremely unstable and have a unnatural obsession with your singer. The new Volturi princess I might add."
"Bella doesn't belong with you people. She is to pure to be a part of the Volturi. I won't let you corrupt her." Edward fought against his two guards and as he broke free he was surprised to be met with Alice's hand around his throat holding him down.
"You will not speak anymore."Alice was done with his bullshit. She turned to Aro. "Your highness as you could see I want no part in any of Edward's plans. I simply brought Bella here hoping to make him see reason and not throw his life away. I wish to formally state that I in no way align myself with Edward Cullen and any further action he takes is with no approval from myself or my coven."
Aro looked to Marcus for his opinion. He examined the bond between Alice and Edward. "The loyalty between Alice and Edward is no more. As soon as he hurt Bella their connection broke. She has more of a loyalty to us than she has to the boy."
"Not to anger you my lord but loyalty is towards Bella. If I had known of the mate bond or the child bond I would brought her here sooner. I didn't know she would get hurt or I would have protected her better. Her future is shrouded from my visions so I ask for your forgiveness in my failure to keep her safe." Alice bowed her head to Caius. She wasn't lying. She would always be loyal to Bella. Bella was the first person human or vampire to ever treat Alice like she was completely normal. She didn't dwell on her quirks or make fun of Alice in any way. She had openly accepted Alice as a best friend and never shied away from Alice's affection.
"What would you have us do brother?" Aro asked Caius.
Caius thought through his options. He believed that the seer cared for his daughter and didn't blame her for what had happened. The boy however would have to be dealt with for a false mate bond. The rest of his coven needed to be dealt punishment for revealing the existence of vampires to a human and not killing or changing her. He had to stop himself from growling at the idea of his child being killed. "I wish for you to call the rest of the Cullens here to explain how they left a human alone after revealing our secret."
Aro clapped his hands together. "Wonderful. I haven't seen Carlisle in a long time. What of these two?"
"The boys is to be moved to the dungeons. My mate will want to have a chat with him I'm sure." Caius smiled at the thought. He always found it funny when people thought he was the ruthless one when in reality his wife was the most vicious vampire he ever met. "As for Alice, as you have proven your loyalty is to my child. I will have you escorted to your own room and have Bella call for you when she is ready."
"Thank you. I ask that someone please let me know about Bella's condition after she has seen the doctor." Alice was worried about Bella's injuries.She wished Carlisle was here to check on Bella because Alice knew he would treat her with the most care.
"Of course Alice. If you need anything feel free to ask a guard." Aro motioned for guards to take Edward away. The boy was dragged away screaming nonsense about how he would prove himself to his mate. It was rather pitiful. He used to have high hopes for Edward but now he didn't think he would even be able to hold a civil conversation. Noticing that Caius was getting anxious to see his child Aro dismissed the rest of the room. As soon as the last vampire left he watched as his brother raced through the doorway that led to the royal wing. He was happy his brother found his child and knew that the other queens would be as well. Its had been awhile since there had been change in the castle and the news of a new princess was going to bring about something great. He could just feel it.
