Chapter 23: Wedding
Before 800 AD: Alec and Jane: 18 years old
(Alec's POV)
"Brother," Jane said walking up to me from the house while I worked in the field, "I brought you some food." I smiled at her and took the half loaf of bread.
"It's not much," she sighed, "but it's all I could get."
"Did you eat?" I asked and she looked at the ground.
"Jane did you eat?" I asked again and she shook her head. I sighed and gave her the bread.
"I will be fine sister." She sighed but didn't argue. Jane watched me work while she ate the bread.
"I heard that Coraline is getting married to Mathew." I looked up at her from my spot on the ground.
"I heard." I muttered looking back down at my work.
"So," she said rocking on her heels, "do you have an eye on anyone?"
"Why are you asking me this sister?" Jane shrugged.
"Women are becoming less available Alec." I rolled my eyes and huffed.
"Sister you know we can't live that life."
"I know," she murmured, "but if we could would you still want to get married?" I shook my head.
"Why?" Jane asked confused and I stood up.
"You're the only woman I love Jane," I said, "I won't ever fall for someone let alone marry them."
~Present time~
I was beyond panicking as I held Violet while she stared at the ring in her hand. I'm a stupid fool; this wasn't how I was planning on asking her. I had intended to take her to the Eiffel tower this evening but those damn mutts just had to show up. The silence drug on between us and with every passing second I got more worried. I shouldn't be this panicked because she already belongs to me; we're just not married. I snapped to attention when Violet finally spoke.
"If you had asked me that a few years ago I would've said no," she said and I froze, "but now I'm ready for that, so yes Alec I will marry you." I smiled brightly and pulled her in for a deep kiss after she put the ring on.
"So I guess I'm going to need to start to plan a wedding then." Violet said after breaking the kiss. I gave her a guilty smile and she raised her eyebrow.
"Jane is already planning it." I said sheepishly, "she's kind of been waiting a long time to see me get married." Violet laughed and was about to kiss me again, but a knock came at the door.
"Yes?" Violet asked and Vladimir walked in while she stepped out of my hold.
"The sun is going to be coming up soon," he said, "you two should be safe to leave now."
"Thank you." Violet smiled and grabbed my hand. We walked out after she thanked Stefan then left.
~Two Months Later~
(Jane's POV)
"Hurry up Violet!" I shouted while banging on hers and Alec's door, "we have an appointment for your wedding dress shopping." I heard Alec grow loudly at my intrusion.
"Don't you dare growl at me Alec I am your sister!" I heard Violet laugh and a few minutes later she stepped out of the room ready to leave.
"So is it just us two?" she asked and I smiled while nodding.
"Aro is paying," I said, "he said you can get whatever you want."
"He doesn't have to do that." She said but stopped when I glared at her.
~2 hours later~
"I don't like that one either." I said while sitting in a set looking over the dress Violet had on. She sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Isn't it my choice?" she said, "it's my wedding after all." She got me there.
"Just try on the next dress." I said and she rolled her eyes and walked back into the dressing room to change.
"How is she doing?" a lady that worked at the shop asked.
"Not so good," I replied and she frowned, "do you have like a catalogue or something?" she smiled and grabbed a catalogue from the counter and gave it to me.
"All the dresses here are in the store." I nodded and flipped through the pages then glanced up when Violet walked out in a big puffy dress.
"I feel like cupcake." She muttered and I laughed. Violet grabbed another dress and went back into the dressing room. When she closed the door I returned my attention to the catalogue only to freeze.
"Hay," I said to the lady and she looked up at me, "this dress." I said point to the dress. She looked at the picture and looked back at me.
"With the Veil?" she asked after hesitating and I nodded.
"It's our most expensive dress." She said and I glared at her.
"That won't be a problem." I said and she quickly walked off to get the dress. I sat in the my chair nearly bouncing while Violet put on the dress I choose. She walked out and my eyes lit up with joy.
"Well?" I asked jumping up.
"This is the perfect dress."
~Three Months Later: Day of Wedding~
(Aro's POV)
"I hear that you're giving Violet away." Carlisle said walking up to me while covens around us talked and gathered in the garden.
"I am," I replied with a smile, "she let me adopt her as my daughter." Carlisle smiled while Esme walked up to us.
"I'm glad she did." He said and Jane pulled me away saying it was time to get Violet.
(Alec's POV)
"So I'm guess that since I'm your best man," Demetri said as we stood at the front of the isle, "I thought you hated me."
"Oh I'm still planning out your murder," I said with a smirk, "but since you became my first friend, despite how much I tried to avoid you." Demetri chuckled.
"Well you couldn't avoid me while you were locked in the dungeons for the majority of your newborn phase." I huffed instead of responding. During our conversation people took their seats letting us know that the wedding was starting. I stood at the front with Demetri on the step below me.
"Here comes the bride." He said with a wink making me roll my eyes. The door opened and Aro appeared with Violet while I stopped breathing. Just when I thought she couldn't get more beautiful.

Violet smiled while grabbing my hand and standing next to me. I looked down at our hands and noticed that she was wearing the promise ring I gave her on her right ring finger. I smiled down at her and she winked at me. We stood there as Carlisle read and made us repeat vows. As he read my mind drifted off.
I walked along a path on the outside of town to go get water from the nearby stream. Jane was back at the house making us some dinner. Today was our nineteenth birthday and one of our father's house keepers got us a lot of food. Mai has been the house keeper since Jane and I were born; she was the one person in this town who actually saw us as people.
"Look who it is," I was pulled from my thought and looked up to see Mathew, William, and George walking up to me. They were my age and sons of the three wealthiest men in the village; excluding my father.
"It's one of the witch twins," William smirked, "where's that witch sister of your?" I glared at him.
'Don't lose your temper Alec.' I chanted in my head. I crossed my arms and clenched my fists.
"So tell us," George said, "how many women have turned you down on a marriage proposal?" I glared and continued to walk down the trail while sidestepping them.
"There is no woman in this world that will want to be your wife and there never will be." Mathew called after me.
Carlisle pulled me from my thoughts when he finished speaking and looked at me.
"You may kiss the bride." Violet laughed when I blinked a couple time dazed due to my previous occupied thought. I turned to her and pulled her in for a kiss after we exchanged rings.
"Will you tell me what you had distracted later?" she whispered so only I could hear.
"What do I get in return?" I teased and she laughed then brought her lips back to mine. Everyone broke off to go to where the reception was being held; in the throne room. Jane bounced up to me and Violet.

"Pictures!" she said smiling with Alice right behind her with a camera. Violet and I groaned in union while the two drug us around the garden. After several hours the reception died down and Violet and I got ready to leave for the airport.
"The bags are loaded up." I said walking into the room where Violet was changing into something more comfortable. She smiled and took my hand as we walked out of the room. We said goodbye to everyone before walking out of the castle. Felix dropped us off at the airport where the private jet was waiting. I loaded the jet while Violet said goodbye to Felix who sped off. We were boarding the jet when Vladimir and Stefan appeared on the run way.
"Hay." Violet smiled running up to them and gave them a hug.
"We wanted to give these to you before you took off." Vladimir said and they each handed her small wrapped boxes.
"Sorry Violet," Stefan said, "but we can't stay any longer." With that they each gave her one last hug and ran off. Violet and I sat in our seats as the jet took off. She opened the gifts Vladimir and Stefan got her. They each gave her a bracelet with purple gems which she put on right away.
"So what were you thinking about when Carlisle was speaking." Violet asked and I shrugged.
"Just some things that happened in my human life." I said and paused, "just I spent my whole human life and a lot of my immortal life believing that I would never get married." I turned to her and kissed her deeply.
"Thank you for being mine." I said breaking the kiss for a minute. She smiled and brought my lips back to hers. I tried to pull up her shirt, but she stopped me and pulled away.
"You're going to have to wait." She said with a smirk and pulled out her sketch pad. I huffed and looked out the window and after a while I allowed my mind to drift again.
"Well you two have gotten past the newborn phase," Aro said as Jane and I stood in front of him, "on top of it you two were responsible for the defeat of the Romanians. I'm very proud of both of you." Jane smiled and I held back my own grin. Two years ago Aro saved us from being burned alive; we've been loyal to him every since.
"Now that you two are in control," Aro continued standing up, "I'm comfortable telling you that we have several of your former villagers here."
"What?" Jane hissed a little and Aro sighed.
"When we saved you we also took several villagers as servants. We gave you some for your first meal, but the others have been living in the servants quarters on the other side of the castle."
"Is that why we weren't allowed over there?" I asked and he nodded.
"We've also restricted them to that part so you two wouldn't come across them. Now we will are having them come here and work where you two will be present." Aro sat back down.
"You two are at the top of the guard now so you are allowed to use them if you need," he leaned back and his look became serious, "however we need servants here so please don't go killing them all; if you wish to kill them ask me first." We both nodded and he dismissed us.
"What are you smiling about sister?" I asked as we walked back to our rooms.
"Aro said we couldn't kill them," she said with a smirk, "but he never said we couldn't torture them." I smirked at her words.
"True." I replied.
"Alec, Jane." Demetri said walking into the library, "Aro needs to see you in the throne room." We nodded and walked to the room only to stop at the closed doors when we heard heartbeats. Jane huffed and I opened the door for her and followed her in. The second we entered the room we heard several gasps. I took a quick glance at them to see who Aro kept as servants. I noticed William, George, Mathew, Mathew's wife, and several other younger men and women from the village.
"Jane, Alec," Aro said in his cheery tone making us look at him, "don't pay attention to the servants we have a trial to get over with." We stood next to each other in our usual spot by the stair near Caius. Right on cue Demetri walked in with a male vampire and a human girl.
"Well," Aro said, "Luck have you changed your mind on turning Lucy?"
"No," Luke hissed, "I will not change her." Aro sighed and looked at me then motioned me to grab the girl. I flashed next to her and grabbed her arm with one hand and held her neck with the other while she tried to struggle. Luke tried to fight against Demetri who had a strong hold on him. I glanced over at my former villagers to see them backed against the wall clearly terrified over me and Jane; however, Mathew's young wife looked deep in thought at the moment.
"Luke," Aro said making me look at him, "you broke laws and for that your sentence is death; Jane." Aro looked at my sister who smirked and used her gift on Luke to make him stop struggling. The human's heats picked up in pace at what they saw and a second later Demetri dismembered Luke and set him on fire. The girl struggled against my hold clearly knowing what was going to happen next. Aro turned to the servants then.
"You have things to do-" he was cut off when the girl under my hold started to yell. All eyes were on us and I looked at Aro waiting. However he ignored her and continued to talk to the villagers.
"You will be cleaning up the wing where the elite guard stays," he said, "you will do what they ask and keep their room spotless, but don't bother them when they are present." Aro was going to continue, but an angry Caius growled out.
"Alec silence that woman!" he growled making the other humans jump. I glanced at Aro who sighed then nodded.
"Don't kill her Alec," Aro said, "I still have a few more questions." I was annoyed, but obeyed his orders and allowed my black mist to take away her sensed. The girl went limp in my arms and the people gasped again. Aro dismissed everyone and I followed Jane to where our rooms were.
"I was looking forward to killing her." I muttered and Jane snickered. I walked down the hall after Jane walked off to see Demetri. The hall I turned into was occupied by William, George, Mathew, Mathew's wife and a couple more young girls from the village. I was going to completely ignore them and walk into my room, but Mathew (stupidly) stopped me.
"Alec you must have Aro let us go." He said and all eyes were on me. I narrowed my eyes and glared at him making his heart race in fear.
"Why should I do that?" I hissed and he backed away, "why should I help the vermin who wrongfully burned me and my sister alive and make our lives hell for nineteen years." Mathew's wife stepped forward a little.
"What can we give you to help us?" she asked fluttering her eyelashes and I glared then smirked and looked at everyone then back to Mathew.
"You don't understand do you?" I said with a death glare, "for nineteen years you people tortured me and my sister calling us the 'witch twins.'" I stepped closer to Mathew who looked beyond terrified, "well you got what you wanted. Jane and I have become the witch twins you believed us to be." With that I continued to walk down the hall towards my room.
I jumped when Violet poked me and she started to laugh. I relaxed back in my seat as she cuddled up to me and turned on a move. I kissed her forehead and smiled happy that she was my wife.
