Straight away Emmet, Demetri, Felix, and Mason give me wide grins and I roll my eyes at them, letting my head rest against Marcus' shoulder.
"Brother, you did not wear your little human out, I hope?" Caius asks grinning as he walks past. I look shocked after him but Marcus just chuckles.
"Don't mind my brother, my Bell." He whispers in my ear, kissing my cheek. "Now it's time for our dance." He whispers as he puts me down on my feet, with a firm grip on my waist. I rest my head against his chest as I let him lead me. We dance and I eat some wedding cake, then we go mingling with others just to end up on the dancefloor again.
"King Marcus, may I borrow you mate for a dance?" Mason asks suddenly behind Marcus and grins to me over his shoulder.
"Isabella?" Marcus asks and I nod. He gives me over to Mason, who instantly envelops me in a tight hug, I relax into his embrace.
"How come all of my brothers, by blood or not, end up as vampires?" I whisper in his ear and he chuckles, lifting me a little from the floor before we start dancing.
"I don't know, Izzy." He grins down at me and I smile at him.
"How have you been?" I ask and he sighs lightly and spins me around.
"My first year was… interesting… my creator left me unknown of everything about vampires. It was difficult but then I met a few nomads passing by, they became friends and taught me about control." He explains and I nod understandingly. "They moved on about three years ago and since then I have been wandering the world alone." He continues and I look worriedly at him, then I caress his cheek gently with my thumb.
"Have you asked Aro if you could join the guard?" I ask. He sighs and rests his head on top of mine.
"I don't know if it's a good idea, Izze." He whispers and I sigh, resting my forehead against his chest.
"Why not?"
"Because of my gift." He explains.
"Only because of that?" I ask and he nods, then he smiles down to me solemnly.
"I would love to live close to you, but…" He says and then he stops at my evil smirk. "What are you planning, Izzy?" He asks, warningly and I grin wider.
"Aro!" I exclaim and take a step back just as Mason tries to put his hand over my mouth. I laugh, running towards Aro, Caius, and Marcus. Marcus instantly catches me and glares threatening at Mason as Aro looks questioning at me.
"Yes, dear?" Aro asks and I grin at him.
"Can Mason join the guard, please?" I beg and Aro's red eyes fall onto Mason who has moved just a step towards us before he stopped because of Marcus' glare.
"Do you wish to join us, young one?" Aro asks and Mason's eyes flicker between me and Aro, then he nods. "Of course, Demetri and Felix will teach you more control over your gift and train you further in fighting. Your acceptance ceremony will be the day Marcus and Isabella come back. You're dismissed." Aro says simply, with a pleased smile and Mason looks stunned at him. I smile smugly to him and he bows his head to us and escapes into the crowd, probably trying to understand what the hell just happened. After a few seconds Aro squeels pleased and hugs me tightly, spinning me a few laps before placing me in Marcus arms again.
"Well done, my daughter. Fire! It's the best gift of all!" He quips and disappears happily into the crowd, mumbling something about being unstoppable. Marcus and Caius chuckles at their brother and Caius kisses my cheek before following him. Marcus pulls me tighter and smiles down to me, I place my hands on his chest.
"That was an effective way of getting your way." He grins and I smile widely at him.
"I couldn't let him disappear again, could I?" I question and he chuckles, sweeping me off my feet. "Let's start that honeymoon, don't you think that sounds good?" He asks and I nod pleased. I rest my head against his chest as he carries me down to the underground garage and places me in the passenger seat of a plack Dodge Challenger Hellcat. He quickly drives me out of Italy to our honeymoon…
