Sophia's POV

I groaned letting my head fall back in anguish as Chelsea prattled on pointing out things on her mood board that she'd put together, it's been just a week since Demetri purposed but it's already felt like a lifetime especially since Chelsea had me spending my every waking moment planning some component of our wedding and sometimes even Jane joined us and I just listened to them prattle on about this flower or if those flowers would look better since I'd been no help having no real care or ideas of my own since as long as I married Demetri it was all I cared about.

"I'm telling you, red roses" Jane argued with Chelsea.

"You really think that's a good idea after what happened" I frowned at that one. "The white Calla Lilies are beautiful"

"But they're so plain" I sighed standing up from my chair.

"We could so both, in a small bouquet"

"That's actually not a bad idea" Jane replied and I rolled my eyes since I wasn't as completely hopeless as she believed. "It'll look nice with her dress" I frowned with the reminder of the dress that they were hiding from me deciding for me that I should be surprised.

"I'll ring the flower shop and get them delivered for tomorrow" I sighed hating our fast they were planning the wedding, I was to be married tomorrow and I was beyond nervous about it.

The entire castle was already abuzz and preparations have been started in the ballroom which I hadn't even realized the Volturi had until Chelsea had shown me the room stating it was the perfect place to host the ceremony.

"Now seating arrangements" Chelsea cheered happily and I looked up confused since who the hell were we gonna invite, I heard them start rattling off names that had to be vampires that were in affiliation with the Volturi who she'd already invited and I started to get overwhelmed since I didn't know any of these people even though I knew I'd eventually become a vampire and that I'd probably get to know all these different people it was hard to come to terms that I was going to be in a room full of vampires undertaking a very human custom.

"Okay that's it, I'm stealing my fiancé away" I turned watching Demetri walk into the room and I couldn't help the smile at hearing him call me his fiancé.

"But we're not done" Chelsea complained.

"Please it's not like she's helping" Jane argued and I smiled thankful for her negativity for once.

"Fine but I need her back in five hours Demetri, we have to stick to tradition" I raised an eye in question to that.

"Whatever" Demetri shrugged before I found myself in his arms and being sped out of the room which made me a tad dizzy from the suddenness of it and I swayed a little when I found myself in our room.

"You gotta give me some warning before you do that" I complained steading my feet after he'd put me down.

"Sorry" he chuckled before cupping my cheeks and kissed me making me forget all about my dizziness.

"What was that for?" I asked when he pulled away.

"I missed you" I couldn't hide my face in time to avoid him seeing me blush and his smile grew.

"Your not cute Demetri"

"I beg to differ mi amore" I felt his hands start tracing down to my hips before they settled there while he lowered his head towards my neck starting to leave kisses and my head immediately leaned to the side giving him better access, this was extremely dangerous for us but we'd been doing it a lot more trying to build up his tolerance to the scent of my blood but neither of us could get too distracted knowing that all it took was a second for a mistake to happen.

"Demetri" I wanted feeling his grip tighten on my waist a little, he sighed knowing the warning and leant back pressing his forehead against mine instead.

"Soon you'll be mine and we won't have to be so careful" he admitted and my eyes widened.

"You mean..." I gulped feeling anxious all of a sudden. "Your going to turn me?" I asked and he frowned moving out of my arms and sat on the bed.

"I know we haven't spoken about it"

"Well we have and you refused" I argued sitting down on the bed beside him and took his hand in mine wanting some form of contact with him if we were gonna finally discuss the inevitability of my future.

"Things are different now" he sighed reaching out with his other hand and brushed the few strands of my hair that had come out of my ponytail behind my ear. "I don't ever want to lose you and while I'm terrified especially since I could still lose you if something happens"

"It won't" I reassured him since his control lately had been amazing, he was bold as hell when kissing my neck and I never felt scared. "Besides you don't have to be the one to turn me if you don't trust yourself"

"That's not an option, if we're doing this than I'm the one turning you" he argued almost possessively which made me smile a little.

"Sounds perfect then" I told him and moved closer to him, his hands fell to grip my waist and pulled me to straddle his waist.

"I love you Sophia and I want you to be tied to me in every way possible"

"Then it's a good thing we're getting married" I smiled at him before smoothing my hands over the sides of his face bringing his lips into mine allowing them to meld together, his lips felt hard against mine from his hard granite skin but I never minded. "I love you Demetri, more than life itself" he smiled and pulled me even closer.

"In two days you'll be mine and I am never letting you go" I frowned a little leaning back.

"Can we wait to turn me until after the wedding, I want to enjoy at least some of my life for just a little bit longer"

"Anything you want mi amore, it's yours" I smiled before placing a quick kiss to his cheek before I stood up out of his lap knowing that my next ask was going to either be a hit or miss.

"On that note, I want to ask you something?"

"Oh this sounds promising" he smirked which made me frown.

"What's it going to be like after I'm turned, will I still feel like me?" I asked and watched his smirk fall a little.

"It's difficult to know for sure, your emotions will effect you more strongly as you have no idea just how much more and deeply you'll be able to feel things, anger can quickly become rage, sadness becomes despair but more importantly is the bloodlust, the subtlest smell of blood can force you into a frenzy and nothing can stop you from quenching that thirst, you'll do anything for blood" he told me, not coddling the answer and my frown grew with the knowledge that I'm going to have to hurt people since I doubt I could become an animal blood drinker living with the Volturi.

"How long until that parts over, can I still feel love...compassion?" I asked him hesitant.

"Again it's difficult to know, everyone's experience and tolerance is different but the standard is a couple of years at most" I frowned at that information, a couple of years would seem like a lifetime especially if my bloodlust meant I stopped feeling what I feel now. "You don't have to worry though I'm going to be with you and I won't let you get out of control, I promise" I nodded my head smiling softly since I know he'd be there for me but it was all bitter sweet since he just might not be either after this war with the Olympic coven.

"I want to wait" I suddenly admitted and watched him frown in confusion. "Until after you come back"

"Soph-"

"I just...I don't want to be turned only to lose you in the war and be forced to live eternity alone, if you die I fully intend on following you because there's no point to living my life without you in it"

"Sophia I'm not going to die"

"Then there's no harm in waiting is there?" I argued and watched him shake his head, a small amused smile on his face.

"Okay, I see your point" he nodded agreeing with me.

"Think of it as extra motivation for you to stay alive" I told him and he rolled his eyes before he was in front of me in a blink of the eye.

"I already have my entire reason to remain existing in this world, which is why I mean it when I tell you that I'm not going to die because you mi amore are what'll keep me fighting and strong"

"Your such a sap" I laughed before I wrapped my arms around his neck and planted a kiss on his lips.

"Just for you" I rolled my eyes at him but saw him suddenly with a frown on his face.

"What?" I asked confused.

"I just had a thought, it doesn't matter" he said playing it off.

"Demetri" I pressed squeezing his hand and he sighed.

"If we wait to turn you we can't complete our marriage" I frowned confused until my eyes fell on the bed and understood what he meant.

"Well not entirely" I argued and his frown deepened. "I trust you Demetri with my whole heart, I know you won't hurt me on purpose but I won't pressure you since we don't have to take that step directly on our wedding night if you don't want to"

"It's not a matter of not wanting to, I've wanted you from the moment I begun to fall in love with you but I don't want to hurt you and I'm not just talking about losing control, I could accidently crush you from just getting over excited, every move I make with you is with a thousand tiny movements just to avoid breaking you" he argued running the back of his hand down my cheek gently and slowly as if proving his point.

"You won't" I argued grabbing his hand. "You won't hurt me" I spoke more forcibly letting him hear the complete and full trust that I have in him. "We can always try, if it doesn't work then we'll stop and wait until after" he sighed deeply before nodding his head.

"We'll try" I smiled at him and he smile back before pulling me into his embrace...

"Okay that's enough of that" Chelsea suddenly barged into the room without even knocking. "Sophia needs her beauty sleep"

"Go away" Demetri protested holding me tighter.

"Don't make me bring in the muscle" she glared at him and I laughed suddenly seeing Felix appear. "You'll be seeing each other tomorrow and after that you'll never have to spend a moment apart"

"Exactly I'm already a creature of damnation so why bother with silly human customs that are supposed to protect the soul when I don't have one" he argued making me frown since he had a soul.

"But Sophia does and she doesn't need the bad luck" I sighed and slowly removed myself from his arms.

"She's right, knowing my luck I'd trip at the alter and break my neck" I told him hearing Felix laughing behind me.

"Yeah come on mate, besides you got your bachelors night to attend while little kitten gets the last sleep she'll ever have" Felix added making me turn around towards him since I didn't know Demetri was having a bachelors party

"Excuse me, I never agreed to a bachelors party" I protested turning to glare at him.

"Too bad, I gotta keep this one out of the castle so he doesn't break into your room and watch you sleep like the creeper that he is" I heard Demetri scoff behind me.

"Whatever, let the boys have their fun Soph...now let's go" Chelsea argued and I suddenly found myself being pulled away from Demetri.

"Wait, can't I have my kiss goodnight from my fiancé?" I asked and saw her roll her eyes before she let go and Demetri was smirking as he walked towards me quickly wrapping his arms around my waist and bringing me into a slow and passionate kiss.

"I'll see you tomorrow mi amore"

"Yeah" I nodded at him, my breathing heavy from the force of the kiss before Chelsea was grabbing my hand pulling me away from him and I watched as Felix and Demetri left the room shoving and laughing like immature boys. "No strippers Felix" I yelled knowing he'd hear me and heard his laughter from the hall.

"Whatever you say little kitten" I heard him call back before they were gone and Chelsea led me out of Demetri's room to one of the spare rooms, luckily this one wasn't complete white and I was actually gonna be able to get a proper good nights sleep but first Chelsea, Jane and a couple of the other female Volturi members had a small girls night, getting our nails and pampering done before Chelsea had pretty well ordered me to sleep.

I laid in the bed, the only light source coming from the lamp on the bedside just staring at my ring, it was so beautiful and I loved it especially since the wedding band I was going to receive tomorrow was designed to fit beneath the engagement ring as I compact but beautiful set...I hadn't seen what my band looked like but Demetri had told me the function seeing as my engagement ring had two silver bands beneath the three stunning square cut diamonds.

I'd chosen a simple silver men's band for Demetri since he hadn't wanted anything flashy or over the top and I had agreed since his wardrobe was always crisp and well-presented that he didn't need a flashy ring...I sighed rolling onto my side and flipped the light off closing my eyes and finally let myself drift off with the knowledge that this time tomorrow I was going to be married to the love of my life.
