A/N: The chapter is taking sort of a detour off the main story. It does involve some insight of Edward's mating with Aro and Sulpicia. I got the lovely ideal from listening to Love Like Winter by AFI. Sort of fits with this chapter. The next chapter is in the process of me deciphering my notes. I think there has to be at least 30 pages of my notebook to go through.

One last thing I write for fun. Grammar might not be my bright spot but I am getting there again. Practice makes perfect and all that. Lastly this chapter does contain slash.

Once Jasper ran up those steps to claim in his mate I heard people saying to run out of the castle. Setting my eyes up to the thrones I finally realized the actual mating pull. It seemed to be pulling me in the direction of Aro and Sulpicia. Shit no way two mates and to top it off Aro and his wife. Sulpicia came up me and just wrapped her arms around me. I was at least a foot taller than her. I leaned down and captured her lips and started to kiss her. Aro came up and joined us, reading his thoughts he wanted this also.

The throne room seemed to be in frenzy with all the lust being thrown around. Sounds of fabric being ripped, moans, growls, and purring were all I heard. Knowing that today my mates will claim me in front of everyone was a bit exciting. I wanted nothing more to latch my teeth into both their necks and claim them. When Aro latch his teeth into my neck I let out a roar and proceeded to do the same to him. Sulpicia latched her teeth to the other side of my neck which made me come. I turned around and faced her bringing her into a kiss. Lowering my head I claimed her as mine also.

Things settled down and the vampires in the room were searching for whatever clothing they could. I finally understand how Jasper can be mated with two others. My mind was going through so many thoughts that Aro and Sulpicia where holding my hands. The sounds of their purrs were calming me to accept everything that just happened. Leaving the throne room to go to our chambers to redress for the trial, being away from them was making an ache in my chest.

The trial was fair to all parties around. Alice manipulated a lot of people from humans to vampires. In the midst of things she knew everything from who Isabella actually was and who my biological parents were. My father and mother told me my grandparents were vampires along with my great grandfather. All these years and I never found out about them until a few days ago. Yes I knew father kept in touch with Aro and the one time I actually met him there was a slight tug. I was 14 at the time and going through the normal hormonal changes.

Do not get me wrong after meeting Aro at 14 I sort of imagined things about him when I masturbated. It seemed normal at the time and never felt ashamed after. I wanted to search out my parents to talk to them. When Heidi came in with the fishing party I vowed than to change my diet. Sneaking into the feeding room and standing off to the side, waiting for them to let us have our feast. I scanned the room and focused on two whose thoughts were about raping a married couple a few days ago. Within seconds I was latched onto the bald guy's neck and held the other down on the floor with my foot. The taste was like the finest wine and realized how much I missed human blood. Finishing him off I grabbed the other guy who reminded a bit of Mike Newton. "Cullen what the fuck are you?" My lucky day it was him the sick fuck. "Vampire and now you're dead." I sunk my teeth into his neck and washed his blood down my throat. I heard guffawing and turned to see Emmett with bright red eyes. "You are shitting me Mike Newton was actually in Italy. The world gets smaller." He told me and still laughed.

"Emmett what the hell yes it was and the sick fuck and his so called friend here raped a married couple a few days ago." I saw Jane and Rosalie come up to him also with red eyes. I be damned they are all changing their diets.

"Damn I knew he was bad just from what you use to tell us about is thoughts about the females in the school. I never expected him here and acting out on those thoughts." Rosalie chimed in and bent over to kiss Jane. "Edward father wants to speak to you said to head to their chambers."

Wondering through the castle I was lost in my thoughts about how my father will accept these changes. The first change was finding out I was completely in love with my mates. The other change came when I went back to human blood instead of animal blood. The change in blood made me realize that deep down all humans have sinned. With the fresh blood in my system, my body seemed to be more alive. Many ways now it seemed so weird and not good at all that when I was kissing a human Isabella I was actually kissing my grandmother. The kisses we shared were not passionate but chaster but it still creeps me out. "Edward stop feeling like this yes I knew at the time but we never did more than chastely kiss. It was wrong to make you fall in love me as a human. I did enjoy our time together and getting to know you on a different level. Never feel guilty about drinking human blood either. We all have our downfalls and trust me when I say I have drunk animal blood in the past. In all honesty my theory is that with either diet we still hold onto our humanity and it is up to the person to allow that. I have met with others who are so involved with their vampire side that bloodlust rules them. Though you were told tales of how Volterra inhabited bloodthirsty and power hungry vampires it was not true. It was told to you to stay with a family who loves you. As you can tell yes we let out our inner vampire once in a while but we are still a family. Go talk to your father I warmed him up to you being with Aro and Sulpicia. Your great grandfather wants to speak to you also; he will explain bonds to you and what they actually mean. I love you." She linked herself to me when I heard the voice in my head. The longest time I just wanted to hear her thoughts. Now she allows it and I felt at peace.

I reached my father's chambers and walked in since the door was opened. He was sitting there flipping through a book on the red cushioned arm chair. I took a seat in the chair opposite him and for some reason I could not hear his mind. He gave me a puzzled look and spoke "You can't read my thoughts since I am here. Your grandmother likes to protect family so her shield expands over all of us."

"I see sorry it just feels odd only hearing thoughts of certain people here. In time I should get accustomed to it. Why, did you need to see my anyways?"

"Things are changing not only in our lives but for everyone else. You're mated now to Aro and Sulpicia, I also finally came to the realization that I missed being here. Changes are a good thing son and know this I am happy with how things turned out for you. The smile on your face and the look in your eyes when I mention your mates tells me everything. Though I did try to keep you from them it was inevitable that you would find them."

"Dad I am happy in so in love with them. It does not make sense just how fast I fell for them. The whole three mates seemed odd but it works out. I felt the love rolling off in waves when I ran into Jane, Emmett, and Rosalie. It is so strong like 3 pieces of one soul coming together. Is it even possible for one soul to be spilt into three?" I questioned him and he looked deep in thought.

"It is possible if a love is so strong in a past life it can spilt into halves, thirds, and even fourths. The strength of the love is the main thing. That strength is passed down when the soul is dispersed into the next person. What I am saying is that the piece of each of your mate is inside you. They all complete each other like an intrigue puzzle. Vampires feel this more than humans being a relationship with three people." The way he explained it put my mind at ease and knew than I needed to find my mates. "I love you son no matter how things turned out."

"I love you too dad. You explained things to me that made me realize that this is normal for us. I just have one thing to add go speak to your mother she seems to be a bit confused or something. Not sure what is bothering her but she seems troubled. I talk to you later need to go find Marcus now." I got up and moved out of the room in search of Marcus.

Passing by Demetri he turned back around. "Master Marcus is in the throne room, he told me to tell you to go there if I saw you."

"Thank you." I ran there and before I know it I was bowing my head to him.

"No need to bow son you are part of the royal family now." He told me in his soft voice.

"Sorry, just a habit I will learn to break."

"I sent for you to explain some bonds to you. This will help with some of the questions. The bond between Aro and Sulpicia is very strong. It is a bond of soul mates, lovers, and mates it cannot be broken since you all have completed the bonding. The bond to your family is strong as well. The bond between your parents and grandparents are growing stronger. There are also interweaving bonds of friendship to those here in the castle. My bond to you is that fact that I am your great grandfather and that I am your so called guardian. This means that my role of guardian is to make sure you are not harmed in anyway. Though your bond to Jasper is that of brothers it will change over time to look at him as a grandfather also. Do you realize how much you presence in this castle changed people?"

"No I did not notice. I am still a bit of shock about the bonds. Over time I shall get use to them more clearly. Thank you for telling me all this and for understanding things I seemed to miss." I honestly was grateful in the way in treated me as an equal not of a servant.

"Edward you are quite welcome. I would suggest that you go see your mates and just love them as they love you. The bond between you three is growing more since you are finally accepting being loved and receiving love in return."

I thanked him again and headed up to the west wing to my mates chambers. In all honesty I can see myself clearer with all the information being told to me in a short time. Nearing their room I saw Aro in the hallway. He nearly tackled me down on the ground peppering kisses all over me. "I love you so much and so does Sulpicia never forget that." He told me in between his kisses. These kisses were getting more passionate and aggressive. "Sulpicia is out with Athenadora so it is just the two of us."

"Won't she get jealous of just of us alone?"

"No don't worry she will have you alone also and there will be times when all of us are together. Let's take this in the room before we have spying perverts." I chuckled at his freeness in tone around me. He was not so uptight like he used to be. He actually had a soft side only few people were allowed to know about.

Once in the room he attacked me once again. In this midst of things clothes were being thrown about until we were both naked in front of each other. I fell to my knees and licked the tip of his cock that was weeping with pre cum. The moan he gave let me go on with my exploration of his cock. Licking it from his balls all the way up had him shivering. He tasted like a combination of oranges and mint it only spurred me on more when I engulfed him in my mouth and down my throat. I knew he was close when he threw me off and turned me around. Feeling his hands on my ass and pushing my cheeks apart he grabbed on and dipped his head down to my ass. At first he licked my balls and went up and passed my puckered hole. When I thought things couldn't get better he started to work his tongue into my asshole. God the feel of it was indescribable and I trusted back some. I needed more and he knew it he just his fingers to help prep for the onslaught of his cock. "Hold on that bar there in front of you this might hurt some."

The tip of his cock was finally in and now with one quick thrust he was completely in me. "FUCK!" He slowed down some to let me adjust to him. When I started to move with his thrusts he started speeding up. "Aro harder fuck me harder." I whispered to him into between grunts and his thrust of his cock in my ass. He wrapped his arm around me and grabbed my cock and started to jerk it off. The sensations were overwhelming me.

The thrusts started to get quicker and the same with his hand around my cock. He was hitting a spot in me that was going to make me come hard. "COME WITH ME EDWARD!" He roared and I swore I saw stars as my eyes rolled into my head. Aro came after a few thrusts and pulled out slowly. I felt his cum dribbling down and knew then I could do this a million times over.

"I love you so much Edward. That has been a long time coming for both of us." I knew he was right and found his lips.

"I love you Aro. We need to do this again soon." He chuckled at me and I felt his cock harden once again. "Ready again already."

"Always ready. Up for round two. This time I want to make love not fuck." We did just that for hours loving each other in ways only lovers can. It was slow and very sensual. Sulpicia had returned and we found her fingering herself in the chair in the corner. I reached my hand out to her and pulled her into bed with us. All three of us made love and fucked each other over a week. No one bothered us considering we were a newly mated couple. There were times where I was alone with her and Aro watched and times were it was just her and Aro.

I can learn to love staying here and learn to be loved by two people who completely love me.
