Summary: Lucian Swan wasn't always his name. In another world, years into the future, he was an average, normal human being. Now that he's been reincarnated into Twilight as Bella Swan's cousin... normality is just wishful thinking. Add the fact that the Volturi guard keep on stalking him wherever he goes, and that he's now a WITCH! his life quickly becomes one for the storybooks.
This fanfiction will be the Volturi kings x Male OC since I couldn't find many, so I decided to write one. I hope you enjoy it! Also, although the first chapter is in first person, the others are all in third :)
Chapters with [-] have been edited since 16/05/22. Major editing underway :)
Dearest cousin
A few hundred years have passed now since we were last in contact, and a lot has happened in this massive time span. In seven hundred years, much can change, after all.
We didn't separate on the best of terms, but hear me out, ok?
How are you and your coven? Edward? Is Renesmee still faring well? She's getting on now, her age has far surpassed the expectations of many. Nahuel, after all, only made it to around eight centuries.
I heard about sweet Alice's demise and wanted to send your coven my deepest condolences. She was a cherished friend of mine when we were younger, it was saddening for me when we lost contact a hundred years ago. Last I heard from her, she was moving to England on a hunt for information about who knows what.
I know we never did hold the closest of relationships, but I wish to be present at her funeral if your coven would allow me, to pay my respects. I was once, after all, an honorary member of your Coven.
Sincerely,
Lucian Volturi
Dearest Readers
I would like you all to know beforehand that this life isn't my first. It is, in fact, my second. I reincarnated here, you see, after a long, drawn-out previous life.
This life has been good to me. It's given me power, adventure, a family to call my own, and eternal love. I honestly couldn't ask for more.
In my former, I was the perfect textbook human being. Average in anything I ever did. Apart from a few peculiarities that aren't worth mentioning, they don't really matter anymore, it was very dull compared to the one I am currently living in now.
Although, this life wouldn't have been so fulfilling and fun if I hadn't read the books about the universe in my previous one. I wouldn't have gotten caught up in Bella's mess otherwise, staying human and away from vampires as much as possible. Or rather, I would have been dead mere years into it.
I wasn't a big fan of twilight, the characters were annoying most of the time, but I wouldn't ask to be reborn anywhere else now. Perhaps the Harry Potter Universe or Naruto would be cool, though. A thought for another day.
Signed, Lucian Volturi

Lucian Swan, born on the 25th of November, 1988, was reincarnated into the Twilight universe as Bella Swan's younger cousin. He didn't know this, however, until a few years passed, and he gained his first memories from his previous life. It had left him comatose for a week, the strain of so many memories too much for his young and frail body.
When he awoke in a panic, he lashed out at everyone, screaming about the injustices of the world, and how he hadn't wanted a second chance. It took months until he was allowed to go home again.
Lucian's parents were smitten with their little boy, despite his peculiarities. They took him on trips around the country (England, which had been his former body's home as well), days out to theme parks, to every beach they could find. His first decade of life, whilst enjoyable, was a rather mundane and boring one.
The only interactions Lucian had with the main character of the world he was now in, his cousin, was a week in the summer each year when his parents would fly them out to visit them. His dad, Lewis Swan, was Charlie's older half-brother from his grandfather's previous marriage that quickly went into shambles. The two hadn't had much contact with one another during their childhood, his dad living with his mum instead, but once they grew older they got into regular contact once more.
Bella and he had a... complicated relationship in their younger years. Whilst he spent his time researching vampires, trying to find any hint of their existence, being hailed as a 'genius', Bella spent her time running around with Jacob and avoiding him like the plague.
From the age of eight onwards, she used to run away from him when he tried to talk to her and excluded him from any games that she was playing.
It's not like he had minded much anyway, he always had his head in a book, studying for the future. It got him labelled as 'boring' by his peers, but he always had had an insatiable thirst for knowledge. Despite all his research, however, he had plans to avoid the supernatural world as best he could.
His plans for normalcy changed a few weeks before his sixteenth birthday.
It was nothing he could have ever foreseen to happen. Nothing about this ever came up in the world's lore. Granted, Charlie Swan was never said to have a brother either, let alone a nephew.
He and his parents were attacked by a newborn vampire in their home one fateful night in early September. It seems that it was destined for him to have an out of ordinary life.
To this day it is still heartbreaking for him to remember his last moments with his second parents. He had nightmares for years afterwards, the night terrors only fading away once he was tucked safely in his mates' arms.
Although, the night did reveal some rather startling information.
That was also the same night he found out that his mother was a witch, and how closely connected to the supernatural world he actually was. Fuck Bella and her 'I was born to be a vampire', it seems as though fate decided the both of them to be 'special'. He swore in that moment of realisation, he could practically hear her laughing at him. Stupid bitch.
Apparently, his darling mother came from a long line of witches that had practised the craft for thousands upon thousands of years. And he had been kept oblivious of this fact for his whole life because there was only one way to trigger a male witch's latent powers.
By killing someone, accidentally or on purpose.
His mother hadn't wanted him to ever have to go through the trauma of killing somebody, but unfortunately, she had no choice in the matter. It seemed that his awakening was inevitable from the start.
Both of his parents perished that night, his father was drained of blood before his mother could protect him, and she died by exerting too much magic shielding Lucian. His mother didn't have an affinity for defensive magic, something she deeply resented in those last agonising moments of her life.
So he was left alone to fight this newborn, his feeble human self.
Honestly, it was a stroke of immense luck that he had managed to kill the newborn. And the fact that he had planned for a situation like this. It had no sense of restraint or coordination, so when he saw it stumble for the slightest of moments, that's when he chose to stab it through its eye.
Not going to go into detail about how he managed to dismember the newborn because it was a gruesome and tiresome affair, but know that he managed to finally set it on fire. He watched as it burned in his once cosy living room with no remorse.
His powers had awakened soon after.
They exploded out of him in a violent burst of pure power, destroying his surroundings, and leaving him standing in the wreckage of his formerly peaceful home.
He was later picked up by the medics that had been called by one of the nearby neighbours, dubbed as the miraculous survivor of a tragic gas leakage.
Lucian was sent to live with his maternal grandparents who knew that what happened wasn't just a mere gas leak. His grandmother herself was a powerful witch so taught him all she knew about the basic abilities of a witch and gifted him many grimoires that had been in the family for years.
For a while, his life seemed to have calmed down, but unfortunately, his peace couldn't seem to ever last for long.
His grandmother died from a heart attack a few months shy of his 17 birthday, and his grandfather followed soon after from a broken heart.
He understood though, the pain he felt, how he had to go with his grandmother even if he wished to stay and raise him. Lucian was grown enough by then.
They were mates, one could not live long without the other. Mates are beings that are destined for each other, they live and breathe for one another. And so, they die with one another.
It took a while for him to get over his grief, losing four of his closest relatives in the span of just two years was utterly heartbreaking for him.
But, eventually, he decided it was time to move on. He had made his decision. He was no longer going to avoid the supernatural world, it seemed as if he would never escape its clutches.
So, there he was. On the 31st of August, 2005, Lucian moved to Forks, Washington, to live with his Uncle Charlie and Cousin Bella Swan.
At the time he arrived it just so happened to be a couple of weeks before Bella's disastrous 18th birthday.
Well, the peace was lovely while it lasted. It was time to accept his inevitable fate.
