I would like to apologize for the length of time it took me to post this chapter, I have been dealing with real life. This chapter is somewhat smaller than normal, however it is not me who writes this story but my characters. I am just the person who types it. I would like to say thank you to the readers of my stories without you I wouldn't be submitting today. I would also like to thank my beta, Karebear1965, without her help and suggestions I would still be working on this chapter.
CAIUS POV
We pulled up in front of the three-story house that housed the Cullen's, the smell almost overpowering now in its intensity. The family stepped out of the house, and the first thought was, who was the breathtaking brunette standing next to Carlisle, for surely that couldn't be his mate. If indeed it was I was fucked, the pull towards that magnificent creature was instantaneous and oh so strong. His arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her snug up against his body and a snarl ripped through my throat that had the rest of the guard turning towards me in shock and in Aro's case glee. Now I know what he is thinking and quite honestly, I cannot disagree with him. My beast is definitely rattling its cage wanting to mount that beautiful being.
My nostrils flare as her scent permeates the air even further, letting me know that she is not as unsusceptible to me, as she would have me believe. Her mate shifts closer to her, growling with warning. For once, I am stunned, I have never seen Carlisle act so like the vampire, he then right now. Mount, bite, mark, my beast is chanting over and over, just about bursting through the cage, I keep him locked in. My body springs like a coiled snake ready to strike, as her hand reaches up to touch Carlisle's face. He immediately calms. She pulls gently from his arms and walks to stand in front of me.
Her head lowers in a move that is purely submissive, her back straight her eyes on her feet, her shoulders back with her breast pushed out almost close enough to reach out and touch them. She is breathtaking in her submission to me; her body, mind and soul recognize me as her mate even though she has already mated with Carlisle. A growl comes from the mind reader as he hears what I am thinking, she doesn't move waiting for me to let her know she can. Carlisle eyes darken, his body shifting slightly tense, waiting to see what will come of this situation. I reach my hand out and caress her cheek, barely ghosting my hand over her skin. She shudders at the feel of my hand upon her. My fingers ghost down over her bottom lip, tracing them gently before continuing my path down over the sweet curve of her neck landing, where the pulse point used to be.
Her breathing steadily increased. Her eyes dilated turning pitch black, Carlisle starts to slowly walk towards me, not making any sudden moves. He reaches us and looks to me. Eyes dilated and black then looks to his mate, or I guess I should say our mate. I look over at Marcus, and he nods his head in agreement that this is indeed my mate. Oh crap, I cannot let Aro destroy her; I would surely die. I look at Aro, and see him greedily looking from my mate to Carlisle back to me. Rage, anger, pain, and fear all courses through my veins at the thought of Aro getting his hands upon my mate.
Edward leaned in close to Carlisle and began to whisper in his ear. I could clearly hear what he was saying. "Carlisle, Aro's thoughts of Isabella are troubling. He wants her as a member of the guard, and he would destroy all of us to get to her. He wants to break her spirit, to take her and mold her into the perfect mate for himself even though he has Sulpicia."
A roar rips through me. My eyes blacken as they zoom in on Aro, he backs up slightly fear evident in his eyes. Marcus immediately goes into a submissive pose followed by the rest of the guard. My vision starts to get a red haze, and before long I completely black out.
BPOV
The beautiful poetry of the blonde god in front of me was breathtaking. His fluid movements belied his age, his deadly intent as he bore down on Aro was masterful. The dance before me beautiful in its own deadly way, my lust skyrockets, my arousal dripping down my legs in anticipation, my beast claiming him as mine. Confusion sets in slightly as my mind wraps around the fact that seemingly I have more than one mate. I glance at my Carlisle, his eyes black as night watching the blonde god, waiting to step in. Growls and snarls fill the air as they clash; my thoughts turn to what it would be like to be claimed by this man.
The fight raged between the two of them, and I noticed that the two youngest looking members of the guard seemed to be indecisive about which leader they should follow. They started in the direction of the blond god, fighting in an attempt to stop them from fighting. As soon as they got close, they hit the invisible wall of my shield. A chuckle escaped me at the sight of them bouncing backwards. Their heads turn towards me, scowls upon their faces, a sinister grin upon my face as I look on them. A gasp arises from my family as the wind starts whipping, thunder starts crashing, and the earth starts shaking. The fear is evident upon the two guard's faces; it ripples through the air, igniting a fire within me. Sinister thoughts run through the mind of Aro as he faces down the wrath of my mate. However, he needs to fear me, so I turn my glare upon him growling out a warning before everything goes black.
CPOV (Carlisle)
Her grace and beauty as the beast within her burst forth was magnificent. Her eyes turned a brilliant blue color startling the entire family; they burned with a fire never seen before, the earth shaking scared the living crap out of everyone, including the witch twins. All I can do is, be thankful this magnificent creature is my mate, the movements of her body like poetry in motion. Her body lithe like a tiger and the natural way she was fighting, damn my cock stirred at the thought of her wrapped around me, her body like a glove. A quick flip and she had Aro pinned with her teeth at his throat, feral growl building in her chest. The wind still whipping around fiercely as Caius seemed to snap out of the haze that he was in to assess the situation between our mate and his brother.
He moved towards her slowly realizing the situation was very bad for his brother and that one false move could mean beheading for him. His hand reached out in slow motion, her eyes darting to it, her body stiffening in anticipation the snarl that ripped through her sent chills down my body. I could see the hope spring to Aro's eyes as he saw Caius trying to tame our mate.
