(Aro)
I was having a bad day. After Isabella accepted to come home as my mate, everything happened fast. We packed our clothes with Dora while my brothers prepared the jet to the flight home.
We arrived the next morning, and we asked the guards to come to our meeting room to introduce her.
"Dear ones, you may remember Isabella Swan who came to us three days ago with the young Cullen," Caius said, and some guards were hissing. I heard Renata growling soft near me. She could be a problem for Bella's safety.
"She will be part of our family and she deserves the respect that her position gives her. She is from now my daughter, and I will punish with death the vampire or the human who would dare to hurt her," Marcus said.
"From today, she will be my sister. I will not only kill her aggressor, but I will make sure that he or she will beg for death to come" Caius said.
I was happy hearing my brothers talking like this, and I smirked. I saw some of the guards smirking as well, maybe thinking that I would not consider her family. As the leader of this coven, I could kill her on the spot if I would want it. My smile was bigger, I would enjoy this. I stared at my brothers, and they nodded to me. I whisper into her ear telling her to trust me.
I took her to the middle of the room, and I started to circle her. The guards were anxious, Jane, Demetri, and Felix were worried, but I winked at them. They saw me, and they relaxed their posture.
"We have here a human that dared to humiliate me in front of the entire guard and our guests. She went two days to our private island with my brothers blessing," I paused, and the guard waited for me to go on, " I was not asked for my consent for this, and I went to the island myself trying to find solace from my public humiliation. Do you guest what did I find?"
"You found her there and you brought her to face her trial. She cannot humiliate one of our leaders!" The entire guard answered.
I pressed Isabela's body next to mine, feeling her back on my chest. I pushed her head to the side, brushing off her hair, bringing my lips to her neck. I saw some of the guards smirking, expecting me to drain her and maybe to share. Renata was glowing. I closed my eyes, and I kissed her neck softly.
"I went to the island to find peace form this human that was hunting my life and in exchange, I found my soul mate. Therefore, I will say this: she is from now Isabella Volturi. You are not to touch her or harm her in any way. I will protect her from you, and even from my brothers if I think that harm would come to her. She will be my queen and my partner in life. You will not talk about her with anybody outside our coven, and if you have to talk with the young Cullen, you will protect your thoughts from him." I said calmly, holding her in my arms.
"You can leave now. Jane, Alek, Demetri, and Felix, from now you are her guard, and I do not want you to leave her alone." Caius said, coming next to us and caressing her hair. "Aro, I need to talk with her, she will meet you in your room at noon. Meantime, you can make up the two days of work that you missed."
Caius took Isabella from the room while talking Marcus who have followed them. I had some work to do, and I had some meetings to take care of. At noon, I went to my room hoping to see her and spend some alone time with her, but she was with her computer chatting with her wolf friend. I took a book and I sat on the couch. After some minutes, I stood next to her, trying to see what she was telling him.
Jwolf: So, you are sure that you will be safe with them. Bella, they are leeches, they are not supposed to take humans mates, just kill them. (stupid mutt, I will never harm her)
Bells: Yes, Jake. I will be ok here. They are nice and I love this place. (so, what about me? She loves the place, right.)
Jwolf: What about the freak? Do you like him? (I want to know this)
Bells: Jacob Black, this is not your business, and I am not alone here so I will not answer! (What?)
Jwolf: ok, I hope you know what you are doing there; just remember that I love you. (she is mine, pup)
Bells: I love you too, Jake. Just take care of Charlie for me, bye. (You must be kidding me, she told him she loves him!)
I was in a bad mood, and I went to the couch and pretended to read. She came next to me and gave me a soft kiss before going to pick up her bag and disappearing into the bathroom. She returned some minutes later, and she said that she would call Carlisle in the office because she needed some privacy. I told her that she could stay in the room, and I went hunting. I needed to run and to think about everything that happened in the last days. Oh, God, I am losing my mind to an eighteen-year-old human.
(Bella)
I was chatting with Jake, telling him about my life in Volterra and trying to make him feel better about me being here. I felt Aro walking around me, anxious and trying to read what I was writing.
Jwolf: So, you are sure that you will be safe with them. Bella, they are leeches, they are not supposed to take humans mates, just kill them. (Is he going to use his brains someday? I am not alone in the room)
Bells: Yes, Jake. I will be ok here. They are nice and I love this place. (I will try to be vague about this.)
Jwolf: What about the freak? Do you like him? (Not answering this with Aro nearby)
Bells: Jacob Black, this is not your business, and I am not alone here so I will not answer! (Was Aro cringing?)
Jwolf: ok, I hope you know what you are doing there; just remember that I love you. (Ok, I will try but I am so paying for this after)
Bells: I love you too, Jake. Just take care of Charlie for me, bye. (Now, I must think about how to calm the very jealous vampire standing behind me.)
I closed my laptop, and I saw Aro sitting in our coach. I kissed him and I went to take a bath. This could help me relax before talking with him. I knew that from this morning, we did not have a minute alone and he was craving for this. Me too. I put a silver dress and I went to the living room. I was nervous and I thought that if I call Carlisle, he could help me with this.
"Aro, I will go to the office. I need to call Carlisle. As you may remember, I promised him yesterday that I would do it. He is like a father to me." I told him softly.
"I prefer that you stay in the room, I need to feed so I will go for a hunt. See you later." He said, kissing me before leaving the room.
He was not ok, and I needed to talk with him about how we are going to organize our life now. I wanted to know his expectations, and if I have a role in the palace.
"Bella, I was waiting for your call. You can speak freely because I am in my office. Alice promised that she will not look and if she sees something she will block this from Edward." Carlisle said.
"Dad, I just so confused. Everything happened so fast. I am in Volterra, living in Aro's room, not knowing what he wants from me. From this morning we did not have the chance to talk because Caius wanted to learn, and Marcus wanted to show me the palace." I told him.
"I know that this could be weird, but what were you doing yesterday when I called you?" Carlisle asked.
"Hmm, I was sore, and he took me to his room for a bath. I felt better after that, and I could sleep for a while." I said, blushing.
"So, if I'm correct, you are his mate and they introduced you to the guards today." Carlisle said.
"Yes, it was tense because the guards were rather angry about a human taking this place on the royal family. I was introduced as Marcus's daughter, Caius's sister, and Aro's mate." I recalled.
"How about Jane?" Carlisle asked.
"She is nice to me, and we spent some time together on the island." I said, smiling.
"How do you feel about this? Especially about being Aro's mate?" Carlisle asked.
"I'm feeling ok; I think he could be challenging but protective," I answered.
"Just be careful because he can be a little possessive too. What do you want to tell the family about this? I would love to tell them, but I am not sure if you want Edward to know about this yet. He was ranting about going to save you." Carlisle said.
"If this is not annoying, I would love to wait until I see how this is going to work out before we'll tell them. Eventually, you can say that Marcus told you that I'm happy learning the laws." I explained.
"Geez, wait a minute. Yes, Edward, how can I help you? (He was talking with his son, I hope that he did not listen who in on the phone with Carlisle) I'm talking with Marcus, and he said that Bella is ok, learning and preparing for the change." "Carlisle, you have to be kidding, she will never be ready for that, and she needs a human life. I love her and I can give her that."
I felt somebody moving behind me and I hope that was Jane coming with some clothes for me as she promised me. Nope, and I found out who was extremely fast.
"ISABELLA! WHY ARE YOU TALKING WITH HIM? Aro yelled.
"Carlisle, I'm sorry, I have to leave you again. I will send you an email with a plan for my family. Said hello to everybody." I breathed slowly, and I looked at Aro's eyes. He was mad at me.
"I was talking with Carlisle when Edward came asking from me. Carlisle asked me to stop talking and wanted to tell him some news and make him leave. Now, Edward knows that I called Carlisle and that I am in Volterra. All of this thanks to you." I said angrily.
"What?" Aro asked confused.
"I wanted to see how this work out before telling the Cullen about me here. I was preparing to fake my death for my parent's sake. Now, I am sure Edward will now about this. Why can you just think before talking?"
Bells: Carlisle, are you there?
DrCullen: Yes, Bella, I am alone in my office. It will be better to chat and not talk.
Bells: Did Edward hear me? Did he hear Aro?
DrCullen: We were lucky because he only heard Aro yelling so he thinks that he still angry because of you.
Bells: Do you have some advice for me? I have a mad vampire in the room, and I must deal with him.
DrCullen: Just be patient, he can be a great man, but he is not perfect.
Bells: Until tomorrow, same time dad.
DrCullen: yes, baby girl, till tomorrow.
Bells: Bye.
Aro was sitting on the couch, looking at me angrily and I went to sit next to him.
"Why do you need to talk with him every day, Isabella? Are you not happy with me?" Aro asked sadly.
"He is like a father to me. He was always nice and helped me with my decisions. My father is not a person who talks about feelings or would give advice. Carlisle was there every time I needed him. I cannot lose him now that I would have so many changes in my life." I told him, putting my head on his shoulder.
(Aro)
I heard her words, telling me how my old friend helped her when she needed him. How he protected her and healed her. She told me about James and the accident in the ballet studio. Jasper's attack on her birthday. I could see that he loves her as his daughter. I needed to call him and ask him to come alone. We needed to talk. I was lost in my thoughts, holding her in my arms, caressing her hair and I did not realize that she was sleeping. It was a long day for her, and she needed a nap before diner. Great, that will give me time to prepare something for tonight. Maybe we can talk about our future and us.
"Nice to hear from you, Aro?" Carlisle said.
"Dear friend, I needed to talk with you and ask you something." I spoke.
"I listen, how I can help you?" Carlisle asked.
"Do you think that you can travel to Volterra alone and stay here for a week?" I asked.
"Yes, I could say that Marcus needed me to learn Bella some of the laws and that he wanted me to come alone, to make her decision for the change easier." He said calmy.
"Brother, you are smart as usual. When could you arrive?" I asked.
"I will confirm the time, but I will be there tomorrow. Do not tell Bella about this, I want to surprise her. See you brother," Carlisle said.
I went to the kitchen, and I took some food for her and some blood for me. I prepared our table with fine linen, and I put some candles to have a romantic ambiance. When everything was ready, I went to our room to wake her up.
"Love, wake up, your diner is ready," I said softly.
"Hmmm, five more minutes, please," she begged, half asleep.
"Please, I want to show you something," I told her.
"Ok, I'm coming with you." She spoke.
She was wearing a black nightdress, and she looked so hot. I took her to the table, and she saw our diner. She was smiling, and I was happy to see her like this. She came near me and kissed me while I help her sit in her place. We talked and after diner, I took her to the middle of the room, and we started to dance slowly. I felt her body next to me and I could smell her, she was like vanilla and honey. She was like a perfect wine made just for my taste.
I kissed her hard, caressing her back and holding her next to me. She was responding and I taste her mouth with my tongue. I sat on the couch, and she straddled me, grinding her core to my cock. We were moaning while I started to undress her. I bit her nipple while she unzipped my trousers, pulling them down with my boxers, freeing me. I ripped her clothes, and I entered her pussy in one thrust. She was riding me hard and fast while a sucked her breast and gripped her hips moving them as I liked. We reached the edge together and we screamed our names before she collapsed over me. I started to lap her neck, preparing her for round two when I heard somebody chuckling outside my room.
"Yes, brothers? Do you need anything?" I asked annoyed.
"We wondered if we could come in. Could you put some clothes on before we enter?" Marcus asked, and I took my love to our room while cursing my dear brothers for interrupting our especial night.
