Caius had sent a reassembled Carlisle back to Volterra under the watchful eyes of Demetri and a few of the lower guard members with the order to throw him in the dungeons and to inform his brothers he himself would deal with the pathetic excuse of an immortal when he returned. Leaving Caius and Felix to settle in with the hopes of Caius actually being able to speak to the woman he thought resembled an angel. Whilst Caius was handling the situation outside , the Denali sisters had rushed Scarlett in to get her out of the cold. Although now that Caius was standing in the Denali's main living room, he had come to notice everyone was present but Scarlett. Caius unnecessarily cleared his throat and spoke. " First of all I would like to thank you all for graciously allowing me and my coven members into your home , I know for some time we are seen to be the enemy and I can only hope that in my short time here I can give you a reason to change that. Secondly id like you to know that I am completely in love with Scarlett have been ever since I saw her in Volterra, that was the first mistake of many that I made in regards to Scarlett but I will have you know that if Scarlett will accept I wish to protect her and love her both and the baby . If that means I need to step down being king then so be it , I will do whatever it takes for Scarlett to be happy even if it is without me but by the gods I will not allow another being to cause harm to her. I'm not perfect , ill admit ive made mistakes havent we all but Scarlett she made me realise I didnt have to be the angry king I always was. Just seeing everything she's been through and yet she's still going strong proves to me that whilst bad things happen I dont have to bow to them. So of course, with your permission and Scarlett's I would like to see her if thats alright with you all?" Caius asked looking around the room.
Nobody knew what to say this wasn't the ruthless king that hated mortals . He truly cared and it was vastly known that when Caius came attached to something . it was a strong connection. Kate stood "I'll go and see if she's still awake and wants to see you, her choice though Caius "Kate warned shooting Caius a glare before dashing up the stairs and to Scarletts room, only to return moments later. " Scarlett is alright to see you but she asked if when you go up could you take a cold drink up shes running a temp again" Kate informed not missing the grin on Caius's face. " yes , yes absolutely" Caius rushed out eagerly taking the drink from Kate. " oh and Caius be nice or else" Kate threatened , receiving a nod from Caius who darted up the stairs following the sound of Scarletts heartbeat. Caius knocked on the door gently and waited for Scarlett to speak.
"Come in " Scarlett spoke already knowing who it was . Scarlett had just finished brushing her teeth and was leaving the bathroom just as Caius entered. She forgot with everything that had happened just how terrifying he looked in his volturi attire. " oh , I've brought you the drink Kate said you'd asked for" Caius spoke softly just looking at her he could tell things were rough and in that moment he would give anything to make things right. " Thank you " Scarlett replied moving to take the drink from him and put it on her bedside table before climbing on to the bed motioning for Caius to sit on the chair. " Kate said you'd asked to see me, may I ask why? have I done something? we didnt exactly part on good terms did we?" Scarlett questioned. " I did ask to see you Scarlett and in all honesty I should have actually done this a long time ago , I would like to apologise to you Scarlett for everything . I want to apologise for the first time we met , for pursuing you when I had a wife although in my defence I could argue that things hadn't been good in my marriage for many years and although thats the truth , there is still no excuse it was wrong and I see that now. I also deeply want to express how sorry I am that I couldn't protect you from everything you've been through and I failed that much I have seen but Scarlett my princess I know i've said horrible things I never truly meant them , I was insensitive at a time I should have been and I'm disgusted in myself for that . I have asked to speak to you to ask for your forgiveness and perhaps in time you'll allow me to show you how you should be treated and perhaps be my wife someday although if we could just be friends I'd make do with that because Scarlett there is not a world I want to rule where you aren't at my side " Caius had moved from the chair to his knees practically begging on the floor.
" wow Caius honestly I wasn't expecting that , youre forgiven Caius everyone deserves a second chance , you are going to have to prove you say what you mean, with everything that has happened recently I'm sure you can understand when I say that actions speak louder than words and as for showing how I should be treated or being your wife someday , could we start with friends and see where it takes us god knows I could do with having more friends?" Scarlett spoke hoping he would understand that relationships weren't on the table right now . " that would be perfect , honestly I had formed in my head that you wouldn't speak to me and yet you've already given your forgiveness, there is no way I could possibly thank you enough" Caius beamed . Scarlett patted the side of the bed next to her so they could both sit and watch the movie. Only for Scarlett to gasp and raise her hand to her stomach "what's wrong Scarlett?" Caius panicked only for Scarlett to take his hand and place it in the spot hers was. Caius felt the baby kick and the look of awe on his face was the last thing Scarlett saw before she fell asleep leaning against his shoulder.
