Glad you liked the last one, this chapter brings out Bella's tough side. After a little messing around with Augustus, she decides she's had enough stalls.

I don't own Twilight.

Enjoy!

Bella's P.O.V.:

"Your ex-fiancé's brother?" this guy was Marco's brother? The man who abused Diana for so long and became her first real victim?

"I haven't seen him since the last few nights before I was imprisoned. Poor boy never let me live it down."

"I am far from a boy Diana, and look what I've done for myself?"

"You've killed innocent people, made an army of your own that has to be killed, and kidnapped members of my family."

"So what? You deserve everything that's happened after what you did to my brother!"

"Hey Marco earned his fate, it was his fault he was stupid. I know your family got the message I left, tell me how did they take it?" Why was she stalling? My babies were still crying but they were sniffling too, and Athenodora wouldn't last much longer.

"After you murdered Marco the entire family fell apart. My mother was so distraught she fell ill and died in two months! My father, he tried to get your sisters to marry me but they refused…"

"They were already married."

"So what? I knew you had become the monster we all feared, and after my father died I took it upon myself to find a monster to turn me. Of course I became a werewolf, but it was an immortal monster nonetheless."

"So all this time you've been plotting revenge, how long did it take you to realize I never left ltaly?"

"Oh quite a long time, centuries since you covered your tracks. You deserved to suffer as I did, so I took the liberty of paying your own family a visit." Diana's eyes narrowed.

"My family?"

"Your parents, your sisters, your nieces and nephews…it was a delicious revenge." she inched closer. "Remember your elder sister Julia? Oh she was a beauty…had three kids too, even after three pregnancies her body was so beautiful…"

"What did you do to her?" she walked closer and he smirked.

"Took her, killed her brats and husband, killed her, and then finished off the rest of your family. Little did I realize that you had a family…" he looked at me. "I thought I had wiped out your entire bloodline, but you must've had a child because now you have your granddaughter Isabella."

"My descendant actually, but she's like a granddaughter to me. Augustus, you need to stop this foolishness, I have seen your destiny if this goes on and you will die. If not, you can start another life."

"Hah! Why would I want a new life when I can take yours? Once I kill you and the others, I will have Isabella." With that he threw Athenodora to the side and jumped over Diana grabbing me by the throat. His grip was strong, he caught me off guard and pulled me aside.

"Augustus don't!" Diana held up her hands again. "Don't hurt her, I'm the one you're after."

"Bella!"

"No Marcus!" Diana held him back. The newborns held the others tight, and the rest of the wolves snarled at me. "Not yet."

"Listen to your queen there Marcus, you should just let me have Isabella. I can see why you fell for her…" his tongue ran across my cheek.

"Get off me!" I tried to get free but he was very strong. His other hand held back my arm, I could swing my other to get loose. "Disgusting pervert!"

"Ah a mouthy one too."

"Augustus leave her alone! I'm warning you now don't do this."

"Why should I, she can make many pups for me."

"You know full well that werewolves can't pass the gene to their offspring!"

"Ah, but when they are older I can make them like me." his hand on my arm moved to my chest, he groped my boobs hard.

"GAH! Let go of me!" Marcus tried to break free from Diana's grip but she wouldn't let him. Why was she holding him back?

"Take your hands off her!" Jessica shrieked.

"Leave her alone!" Angela.

"Hah! You could never convince me to stop, I've waited too long to get my revenge. Now my precious minions, kill them all!" he waved his hand and I heard loud screeches.

"NOT THIS TIME!" that voice, Charlie! Loud snarls came after that, and then I smelled dogs. Jacob's pack!

"DAD!" large wolves jumped onto the newborns and Charlie's small group of Clarinda and Joseph jump onto some of the wolves. Aro and Caius were freed, and they attacked the other newborns and wolves. Marcus jumped at Augustus but two wolves moved in front.

"BELLA!"

"No Marcus! Get the babies! Get them out of here!" I shouted and Augustus started to pull me away. "DIANA! HELP HIM!"

"BELLA!" I heard Charlie scream for me. Augustus ran almost at vampire speed with me still in his grip, I had to get away, I wasn't going to give up this fast.

"Let me go!"

"Not this time little girl." He brought me into another room and threw me down onto a mattress. "Only have a small amount of time, but I can still take what I want." He about moved on top of me, but I jumped out and landed on his back.

"You aren't going anywhere. You've just signed your death warrant dog!" I grabbed him by the head and threw him into a wall. He stood and wiped his now bloody mouth.

"Not bad…not bad at all." He lunged at me, grabbed my arms and held them above my head. "Nice."

"Get off me!"

"No, I should've taken you sooner. When you first came into Volterra."

"You've been watching me?" he leaned in and whispered in my ear.

"Very closely, Diana has taken everything from me and even if she manages to wipe out my army I will just make more, and plenty of little cubs running around for me."

"Never!"

"Oh I believe so, my brother was a fool, but after Diana ruined my family I knew I could get vengeance if I had you."

"Monster…you will regret this."

"I don't think I will, Diana could've been mine. I had her sister, and now I have you…and I have to say the women in her family are quite delectable." He licked my neck.

"You're disgusting; Diana killed your brother because he abused her."

"He was never right, but he had her. She would've had everything all she had to do was be a good wife." I gave a light smirk.

"But she saw right through him, and after he killed her friend's child she got her revenge."

"And now I'm going to get mine." His clawed hands ripped open my shirt and tore my pants. I felt his leg go between mine and then he groped my ass.

"Get your filthy hands off me!" my left leg went up and kicked him away. He ended up going through a wall and

"GAH! You…bitch." He lunged again and missed.

"Too slow." I kicked him in the back and he fell forward. "You're not as strong as I thought, at least when you're fighting." He spat out some blood.

"So a little princess knows how to fight, how cute." I put my foot on his leg and crushed it beneath.

"Far from it." He was on top of me in seconds, but I managed to kick him off into the ceiling. When he fell I turned him over and I think I crushed his left arm.

"AGAHHH!" he screamed, it actually was music to my ears. I lifted him up by the neck, and slammed him back against the wall.

"You…will…never…touch…me…or…my…children…again!" with each word I punched him in the gut and I heard a couple of ribs break. I held up his battered body, and with a loud roar I sank my teeth into his neck draining every last drop of blood in his body. Once I finished I dragged his corpse back to the others, where many fires were lit and I could see Aro throwing the remaining newborns in new fires.

"Bella!" Marcus ran to me and held me in his arms. Oh thank goodness he was safe.

"Marcus…the babies where are they?"

"Right here Bella." Diana had both twins in her arms. I ran and held them both close, they looked up at me with their dark brown eyes and I think Aiden gave a smile.

"Oh…my babies." Marcus wrapped us up in his arms again. "Marcus…"

"Isabella." He kissed my head. "We're safe, you're safe…"

"Yes."

"I'm so glad we're all safe." Aro came over and wiped some ash off his face. "Brother, is everyone alright?"

"Yes, we stink of wolves and blood but we're all alive."

"How's Athenodora?" I looked seeing Caius consoling his wife, stroking her hair and whispering something to her.

"Shaken up but she'll be fine. Isabella I cannot tell you how glad everyone is to see this out."

"Bells!" Charlie ran over and squeezed me around the babies. "Thank God."

"Dad, where's Jake?"

"Right here Bells." Jake, Quil, and Embry all came over. "You look good, one tough vampire to kill him off." he pointed at Augustus.

"Yeah, you rule princess." Embry.

"Thanks." Jacob walked closer.

"So these are the little miracles we've heard so much about." He stared at Kyra. "She looks just like you."

"Yeah, their names are Kyra and Aiden."

"Nice, not some oddball names."

"Odd Jacob?" Diana.

"Nothing milady. So, what's say we get out of here?" I was about to speak when the Cullens came over, all covered in ash. Wait a minute were they even fighting?"

"Bella we're so glad you're alright." Carlisle.

"Thanks, where did you all go?"

"Well…after you were dragged away we smelt some newborns going behind Augustus so we took care of them." Alice. "We're so glad everyone's alright."

"Again thanks, Emmett are you alright?" Emmett had a sorrowful look on his face.

"Yeah, just don't know how I'm going to break the news to Rosalie. I still love her but…she's not the same anymore." Esme touched his arm.

"Emmett, you're still a part of our family and so is Rose. Do whatever you think is best." They shared a hug.

"Thanks mom." He said.

"Alright enough family mush we need to finish this up. Jane, Felix is everything taken cared of?" Aro.

"Yes master."

"Good, now let's head home I need to see my wife." I handed Aiden to Marcus and we followed Aro back to the castle. I wanted to get home as soon as possible, because I still had unfinished business with three prisoners.

Sometime later:

We finally reached the castle, and while everyone else went to the throne room I ran to the nursery with Marcus and we set the twins in their cradles. I sighed with huge relief, we made it out of that battle alive, now all that was left was the Cullens.

"Oh Marcus, I was so scared I might never see you again." He held me close.

"Nothing can keep us apart cara mia, not vampires, not humans, and especially not some mangy wolves with an insane leader hellbent on revenge." I laughed.

"Our babies were taken from us, I can't bear that again." The twins cooed at us. "I think they're hungry."

"One moment." At vampire speed he ran back into the bedroom and came back with two bottles of milk. "Here, I'll feed Kyra." We took some seats and held the bottles to the kids' mouth which they gladly suckled on.

"They were hungry alright." Aiden was happily holding the bottle in his tiny hands. Kyra was gurgling with her bottle, oh they were so cute. "Marcus, do you think we'll be safe now?"

"I cannot say my love, the Volturi has many enemies but they are smart enough to leave us alone. Diana is going to make sure nothing happens to us, or our friends and family."

"I know, but after tonight I still worry." He touched my hand with his.

"As long as we have each other, there is nothing that scares me anymore." He kissed my knuckles. "You are so beautiful."

"Marcus…" if only I could blush right now. The babies finished their bottles, and after we burped them I turned on their mobiles lulling them to sleep. Marcus pulled me into our room and shut the door; our lips connected and he pushed me back onto the bed.

"Isabella, allow me to make love to you tonight." I reached up and stroked his hair.

"As long as we don't wake the children." He smiled and kissed me again, and somehow our clothes just disappeared.

(I wanted to add a lemon scene but decided against it for now.)

Diana's P.O.V.:

Now that we had returned things quieted down rather fast, Felix and Jessica had run off along with Demetri and Angela but I could just hear and imagine all the noises they were making just upstairs. Aro had gone to see Sulpicia and Caius went to finish consoling Athenodora, while Bella and Marcus went with the twins, and Charlie and Rena went with Jacob and the others leaving me alone in a small study just near the throne room.

I could not believe I let this happen, how could I not suspect this in the first place? I had left Marco's family alone, they knew what he had done to me but Augustus had to seek revenge by almost killing my last descendants. Not to mention my elder sister…Julia and her family…my parents…oh no what had I done?

I didn't even realize I was crying, or that I had fallen onto my knees and had my face in my hands until someone walked into the room. I straightened up and saw it was Galen, but he was cleaned up from the ash and stink of werewolf.

"Forgive me milady." He made to leave but I stopped him.

"No, no it's alright." I moved my hair from my face, I wasn't used to showing my emotions like this. "Galen, when did Heidi start luring you into her tricks?" he looked down.

"Almost a month after Isabella came to us." That tore my undead heart apart.

"You couldn't tell me?"

"Her power was strong, she prevented it. Forgive me my queen; I never wanted to betray you. I swear it is the last thing I would ever do."

"I can't tell you how betrayed I felt Galen, when Renata told me you were the traitor. I almost believed it, but then you…Heidi said she made her say that and then…I don't know I was just hurt by it all."

"It wasn't your fault milady, it was mine for letting her get to me." he walked over to me. "Milady…I know you don't wish to hear this, but I must confess once again how much I love you."

"Galen…stop." I held up my hand. "I know how you feel, and I must admit that I…I wasn't in my right mind when I saw this. I had thought that we were not destined to be together…but I have come to slowly realize that…I cannot see my destiny."

"You must make your own milady, I know you cannot see it, but I feel as if we are meant to be."

"Galen, I do know you love me, but after Marco…" before I could finish he pulled me into his arms.

"Marco is dead, rotting in hell with his brother. I would never hurt you like he did, you are too strong, too brave, and too beautiful to be hurt. Diana, I love you more than anything. I will do anything for you, and I will follow you until the ends of the earth. Please…please let me love you." I froze, he had just confessed more than he should have. Galen loved me, he swore to be loyal to me, he's…he's in love with me. Marco had hurt me, and I had never trusted another man like I trusted Galen.

He did love me, he fought for me, he protected Bella, he says he would follow me everywhere, so maybe…maybe I did love him. My arms circled around him, and I don't know how long we stayed that way. He moved away slightly and took my chin between two fingers.

"Will you let me kiss you Diana?" I thought for a quick moment, did I want him to kiss me? Yes, yes I did.

"Yes, yes." He leaned in and kissed me gently. It was so tender, sweet and loving. His hands went in my hair and I pulled him as close to me as I could. We kissed for possibly several moments, and then I felt my leg creep up his own.

"Diana?" he looked at me, and I had a feeling that made me want him…badly.

"Galen, do your duty to your queen…and take me." he smiled gently.

"As her majesty wishes." We kissed again, and he set me up on the table. I opened my legs and let him remove my pants and tear off my shirt. I ripped off his coat and opened his pants, and then my legs went around his waist. "Milady, let me make love to you."

"Do it." He slowly kissed me and moved down my jaw to my neck, and then he took my breast into his mouth. "Ahhh…" dear God he was good. His fingers moved down my sides and went to my core, massaging the sensitive area.

"You are so wet." He whispered, and then his mouth ended up in that same place.

"HAHH! G-Galen…" where did he learn this? I felt myself coming close…it was so hot I felt like the whole room would burst into flames.

"Milady, I'm going to take you now, are you ready?" I answered him with a rough kiss.

"I've been ready for thousands of years." I was no virgin, but this was the first time a man actually showed his love to me. He spread my legs wider, and then it began.

Bella's P.O.V.:

"Did you hear that?" after Marcus and I got done with our little intimate activities I heard some strange moaning sounds, and it wasn't Jess or Ange.

"I think I did."

"Do you think…?" I looked at him and he nodded.

"I believe our queen has finally let someone love her beyond anything." He pulled on his robes. "Now shall we check on the twins?"

"Oh yes." Diana had finally let Galen love her, he would take good care of her I knew it. Now all that was left for me was to take care of three little issues still sitting in the dungeons.

Hope you liked it! Just two more chapters to go.

Showdown with Rosalie, Edward, and Tanya in the next one; after that comes the epilogue. Like how Bella got tough with Augustus?
