Chapter 18

All the pack members had already gathered in Paul's house and there was tension in the room. Paul was still walking back and forth in the living room with his wolf ready to come out in second. He was angry and deadly at that point. Jacob and Renesmee were huddling by each other and both were worried about his well-being since Angelique decides to leave unexpectedly.

Renesmee herself was sad because she was starting to become close to her. Renesmee felt the connection between the both of her. Even if one of their genetic species was different, there was nothing different about them. They experienced the same growth, diet and strength even though Angelique's is clearly much stronger than her or anyone in the packs or even in her family. However, she could feel the loneliness that dwell inside of her with the love that she craved at her home yet she just could not receive it. It's not a surprise since everyone in Volterra was indeed cruel and cold hearted. She felt sorry for Angelique and regret for unable to do anything about it.

Jacob spoke, "Paul, you have to calm down, alright. I know you're upset and angry right now but you got to control yourself." In a split second, Paul grabbed his shirt collar and thrust his face to Jacob with his eyes glowing in rage. He growled, "DON'T . . ! You don't understand anything." Paul gesture his other hand to the opened door, "Right now, she could be hurt and something may have happen to her. Do you know how vicious those monsters is and what they might do to her? You've seen yourself at how her own father's choices had almost beaten her to death. I'm so pissed off at her and felt like strangling her myself for doing something foolish as running away from me when I could've protected her with my life!"

Paul was breathing hard and slowly, his angers recede. He looks so upset and looks like he was hurting. His eyes were watery yet there was no tears running down his cheeks. He let go of Jacob's collar and covered his mouth, looking so defeated and just dropped on a chair, "Why, guys? Why? Why would you convince me to fight for her when all this woman ever did was breaking my heart? I love her so much yet it was never enough for her since she decided to leave me. Right now, I'm dead if something happens to her, man. I'm dead."

Renesmee felt his pain and whispered, " Paul…" Paul stood and wipes away the tears that were threatening to fall. With a determine look he said, "I can't give up on her. I got to go to her." Sam holds his shoulder and said, "Do you even realised where she is? It's a death sentence and you can't go there in this situation. You're hurt." Paul looked down and smirked, "Yes, I'm hurt but I know that I can't live without her if she chooses to live her life with Alec. She will suffer and I can't have that."

When Paul was reaching to his door, Bella, Edward and the rest of the Cullen's entered. Edward spoke, "We're going with you." Paul snickered looking at the rest of the Cullen. "Not really your business." Paul walked passed them but Bella spoke, "She's like family, Paul. She means a lot to us. We will saved her whether you like it or not." Paul stops for a while and turn to them with a smile, "Now that's what I like to hear."

As soon as Angelique arrived at the lobby of Volterra, she dropped her bags on the floor and smile as she heard the sound of her father approaching. When he was at sight, Angelique ran to hug him with all her might. He was wearing his long black coat with a deep red shirt inside and his long hair falls gently on his back. The gentleness of her father's touch was so pleasing that she could not help but cried. All the stress and pain that dwell inside of her just came out and she was glad. Even though her father was in her arms right now and she felt happy, her heart was lonely. She aches for Paul's touch and the thought of not ever going to see him again hurt her deeply.

Marcus released his hugs and wiped of the tears that wet Angelique's cheek. Sure she was smiling but the pain that fills her eyes shows her pain. "Why did you cry my love? Are you hurt? Did anyone hurt you?" He sounded worried but she shook her head and said, "I'm fine, father. I just miss you so much. I'm happy that I'm…home." Marcus smiled and signals one of the Volturi guards to bring her bags to her room. Marcus held her hand and they walked to together.

"I was surprised that you decided to come home early, love. Didn't you enjoy training and spending time with the Cullens?" he said to her. Angelique answered, "I did father but I felt that it's not right for me to be away and just let everyone else prepared for my wedding. Besides, it's only a month away" Marcus nodded and said, "Awh, you do remember." Angelique gave a soft giggled, "Of course. How can I forget about my own wedding father? I feel that I must at least be a part of the preparation and besides, I know I will come to enjoy it. Every girl does."

Marcus smiled, "I have to agree that with you. I think it's wonderful that you are excited about that." They stopped at Angelique's room and Marcus held both of her cheeks in his palm, "I'm glad that you are home sweetheart. Having you by my side as long as I can before giving you away is just so priceless. It means a lot to me, love" Tears started to formed in her eyes and she held his hands, "Father. I will always be by your side. I belong to you as you belong to me, alright?"

Marcus nodded with a smile dropped his hands, "I think you must be tired with all that travelling. Why don't you rest and we'll meet at the evening for our meal. Is that fine with you?" Angelique nodded, "Yes, thank you." Before he left, Marcus placed a kiss on her forehead and walked away. Angelique entered her room and felt so restless. It was as if all the strength in her body has been used up and her bed looks like pure heaven. Before she was able to lie down on it, pair of hands just wrapped around her body and she froze. The scent, touch and breath on her, she knows it everywhere. The same hands that tried to kill her and might will do it again.

"God, how I miss you, Angel." Alec whispered gruffly. He was kissing her neck passionately. Angelique was overcome with fear and her thoughts keep drifting to the violent event that happens in Forks. "Why won't you speak to me? Do you fear me?" He asked and slowly turned her around. Her tears poured from her cheeks and when she looks into her eyes, it was fill with evil and gladness, knowing how much she fears him. He kissed her tears stained cheeks and lick his lips in front of her, "Your fear always arouse me, Angel. You must know that you should not defy me or else, things will get ugly for you." Angelique tried to turn away but he held her chin roughly and tightens his hold on her body. She moaned, "Don't you ever do that. You belong to me and you must obey and respect me. Do you want me to hurt you like before?" Her body shivered and she could hear him snickered, "I don't think you do. It truly hurts Angelique that you would have the hearts to try and create an affair with a mutt. God thing we will not be seeing that filth again don't we?"

Fear crept up her spine, worried of what Alec might do to Paul if he knows that Paul was still alive. Then, out of nowhere, Alec kissed her roughly and forced himself into her mouth. His tongue here was everywhere, tasting and slithering like a snake. She tried to push him away but his hold was too tight. After a while, he let go of her lips and nip at her bottom lips until small trail of blood oozes down her chin. He licks it up and whispered in her hair, "You will learn to love me Angelique. Everything I do, I do it for you. There's nothing that can take you away from me. I'll kill every one of my enemy if I have to just to keep you by my side. I rather have you dead than ever letting anyone take you away from me."

He moved to stare at her face and said, "Get some rest. WE will have our meal with Marcus." He lets go of her and walked out of the room. Angelique ran to her door, lock it and fall on her knees. She wanted to cry and she did just that. The pain that she had to go through because of the monster was unbearable but there was nothing that she could do because if she were to cancel the wedding, the whole coven will go to a fit since they adores Alec so well. What can she do now?

"Can't believe we're in Italy huh, Paul?" said Jared while looking excitingly out to the window in the back seat as Edward was driving and heading towards Volturi. After all the discussion that they've had, Paul was very sure that Angelique will not stay by the monster side but only at his. She was his mate and leaving or letting her go wasn't an option. Jared, Seth and Leah was in awe with the view from the outside and it's not a surprise since they never been to Italy before.

Jacob sat next to him while Renesmee was resting her head on his shoulder. Bella was sitting next to Edward and both were holding hands but worries itched on their face. Looking at these people around him while the rest of the wolves and Cullens was in the other vehicles makes his chest heavy. What if something were to happen to them? Was it right for me to sacrifice everything for her? He thought to himself. Questions after questions swam through his minds. But, he shook his head and focuses on everything that was ahead of him. Angelique was and still his world. Not even death can separate them, Angelique herself has proven that and now, he must do the same thing.

Angelique was silent. As Marcus was busy entertaining himself and Alec with their tea, she looked passed the rose garden, wondering about what is going on in Forks. Are they looking for me? Are they thinking of me right now? Her thought was cut off when her father spoke to her, "What's wrong sweetheart? Are you not feeling well right now?" She smiled and said, "No, I'm fine actually. I was just looking at the flowers. I realised I never got the chance to look at them often and they are beautiful."

Marcus smiled and holds her chin, "You are much more beautiful than the flowers, Angel. Don't be upset. You will have a lot of time admiring them when you're free." Alec spoke, "Master's right. You'll have much time to spend after the wedding. Considering the task that Master Aro has given me, our time will be quite short but I'll make sure that I'll get everything done fast so that we go on with our marriage life with ease." He grinned. That smile always gives her the creep yet her father was too kind to see that. She smiled to him, "I understand."

Marcus said, "I can see everything is at its place and the wedding will be tomorrow. I hope th_" Angelique was shock and turned quickly to his father. She didn't realise that she stood up, "What? That fast? I thought that it's going to be in a few more weeks?" Aro was surprised with her reaction and turned to Alec but Alec was staring back at her with a deadly gaze. "Angelique, I do think it's very rude for you to act like that with your father. Do sit down love." Angelique felt a chill crawling on her bones so she sat and sighed, "Forgive me father. I was just surprised. It's just that after the trip, I might have a time alone to relax. I didn't know you have set the date that fast."

Aro nods, "I know sweetheart but Alec thought that it will be better for the wedding to be held soon since he felt bad that he might not have much time to spend on your honeymoon and a new life so he came up with that idea. It's also gives you more time to get to know him well. Are you alright with it Angelique?" Angelique look worried and turned to see Alec staring at her with an evil smile. She knows that if she were to refuse him, she's dead. "I'm fine father. I think that is, uh, a great idea."

Marcus clasped his hand and said, "Well, that's done. I hope that everything will be done by then. Why don't we have more tea?" While Angelique was helping Marcus pouring the tea for everyone, guard came to Alec and whispered something to him and Alec's eyes glowed. He stood and bows his head to Marcus and Angelique, "Pardon me, Master and Angelique. I have a task to do and I apologised for not being able to finish this with you. I hope to join you for the dinner later if you don't mind." Marcus nodded and said, "Of course. Take as much time as you need." Alec nodded and in a blink of an eye, he was gone.

The villa look amazing at night and the lights of the town was glowing with lights. The Cullens decided to put the wolves in a villa near a hill where they owned and from here, Paul can see the huge historical buildings where Angelique stays if he just watched them from afar. The place was big alright and from the balcony, he can see some Volturi guards walking around and everyone one of them looks like they were ready to pounce anything that tried to endanger the place. Knowing that three most powerful vampires in the world including Angelique's father herself was supposed to give him the cold feet but he didn't care. He was sure being there was the right choice. He knows Angelique must be upset right now being forced to marry a monster and it was up to him to save her from that.

He walked into the room and see some of his pack member was resting on the sofas while the others was busy checking out the room. The decoration in the villas was exactly like the ones you can see in a castle and everything spoke of elegance. Meanwhile, Jacob, Renesmee and the Cullens were at town, looking for some friends that might hold on some information that they need for the wedding. If it was up to him, he would just charge in, takes his girl with him but he knows that in doing so, he would endanger his family and friends so he had to do the one thing that he's been fighting all of his life for. Patience.

Sam walk into the room after finished putting his stuff in the bedroom and sat on the sofa, "You're okay." Paul smirked, "Better now. Knowing she's here and close to me feels better than nothing. Just can't wait to have her in my arms again, you know." Sam grinned and pats his shoulder as he stands, "Sure, brother. Whatever makes you happy." All of a sudden, the lights went off and everything was quiet except for the footsteps of the wolf heading to the living room.

"What's wrong? What's with the lights off?" Said Seth and Jared snickered, "Something tells me the Cullens forgot to pay their bills." The rest of the wolf laughed but Sam was quiet. He shushed them softly and looked around him. It was dark and quiet. Too quiet.

"I just don't understand all of you animal. You don't know when to stop do you?" Paul knows that voice anywhere. He turned around to the balcony and saw Alec standing with a few of his guards behind him. They were grinning wickedly and it's obvious that him coming here wasn't a good thing.

The rest of the wolves' growl and Paul can feel his wolf wanting to jump out and lunched at him. The thought of shredding his face to pieces will soon be reality. Alec sneaks closer and Paul was getting ready to fight. "I don't know how you survive when you should've rot in hell by now. This is too absurd." Alec holds a vase that he took from table and crushed it with his hand into fine dust. "However, right now, I'm going to make sure that you'll stay dead. I can't wait to rip your throat and crushed your heart with my hand. It will be such an ecstasy." He smirked, "Any wish, beast?" Alec said and rolled his sleeves. Paul could hear the sound of footsteps coming near him from every inch of the house and it was obvious that they were outnumbered. Nevertheless, killing every one of the bloodsuckers isn't impossible.

"You're on motherfucker." Then, hell break loose.
