Chapter 6
Bella POV
The days seemed to fly by since I was brought to the Volturi. I had gotten to know almost everyone in the immediate guard and I couldn't believe how much I got along with them. I was worried at first based off what the Cullen's had said but I promised to give them a chance and I'm glad I did. They were so much cooler that the Cullen's. Even the masters, which I had taken to calling them just like everyone else.
They didn't pretend to be anything they weren't. They were feared and respected for good reason but inside these walls and to each other they were a family like any other. Strange and sometimes dysfunctional but still a family none the less.
And Demetri. Well let's just say I was having the time of my life getting to know that fine piece of Greek male. OMG did he get my blood boiling and he knew it. We hadn't moved past just spending time with each other but it was still great. He was so sweet to me and went out of his way to take care of me. Just as I noticed all the other mated males did for their mates and it made me feel special. He'd do anything for me, kill for me if I ask for it and I was liking that power I had, that feeling of knowing I had a strong male that would be willing to go to the ends of the earth for me if I ask it. Something Edward never would have. I was falling for Demetri hard and fast and it was scarily exciting.
Demetri came after I finished breakfast and was dressed for the day from my new wardrobe that Heidi brought to me he took my hand and kissed it.
"You look ravishing pet." He purred and I blushed bright red.
"Thank you. What's on the agenda today?" I ask and he smirked.
"You are going to join us in the throne room for an interrogation. Your first one. You were saying you wanted to see more of what we do, yes?" he ask and I nodded. Actually excited to see my Vampire in action, making others fear him. It gave me a sick satisfaction that I was mated to someone so feared and powerful.
"I will warn you that you may know this Vampire. And make sure you stay where I place you and don't try and stop anything that goes on, no matter what ok?" he told me and I nodded as he led me down the hall towards the throne room.
Demetri POV
I led my human into the throne room and placed her near where the brothers would be sitting, leaving a kiss to her cheek as I walked away. They had insured me that they would make sure no harm came to my mate as I was working. I trusted them to a certain degree since Bella had won over everyone here in the main guard as well as the Masters I knew they would all help keep her safe. I also knew she wanted to be here. She wanted to be involved to see what being part of the Volturi meant.
She and Jane smiled at each other as Jane and Alec took their spots near the masters as well giving me a nod that they too would be protecting Bella and that eased my mind more.
"Ah here we go." Aro said as we came in. We were the last to arrive.
"Felix, bring in our guest." Aro ordered and Felix nodded before pushing open the door and allowing the Vampire in that we requested an audience with. He bowed and he came to a stop in front of the Masters.
I knew the moment Bella recognized him when she gasp and Whispered his name causing him to snap his head to look at her.
"Laurent."
