Chapter 19

Angelique felt something landed on her bed and when she opens her eyes, she was glad to see Gerry, her faithful dove looking at her and rubbing his head on her cheeks. Angelique woke up with a giggle and she quickly sat on her bed and let Gerry stand on her palm. "Hello Gerry. I've missed you." Angelique was busy entertaining herself with Gerry before she looked outside and her smile slowly fades away.

She realised that today was the day. She was going to get married. She sighed and her heart aches. She knows she should be happy. It was her special day after all but how can she? She was going to get married to a man that almost beat her to death. Her only regrets was not having the guts to tell her father that the wedding is what she do not want at all but she could not have the heart to disappoint everyone. Especially her father.

She walks to a mirror and look at herself. She just couldn't understand out of all the vampires or women in the world, why her? She thought to herself, Why must I do this? Why do I have to sacrifice everything just because I was too scared? Why can't I just be a normal human and live happily ever after? She turned around and went to tidy up her bed. As soon as she was holding her bag pack that she left on the floor, a picture fell from the confinement. When she bent down to take it, her heart aches. It was a picture of her in the bonfire with Paul.

She remembered when Leah asked to have the picture taken because there was a new member in the family. Angelique smiled knowing that SHE was the new member of that loving family. She remembered how awkward she was since everyone expects her to stay there forever but she knew that it's not meant to be.

They were sitting down on a huge log and Paul wrapped his huge arm around her shoulder and hold her close to his chest. Her face lit up in the picture. She felt so whole. She also felt like everything was perfect that no matter how many or what kinds of obstacles that run to their path, she could take them all down. However, she knows that it was never meant to be.

She holds the pictures in her chest and cried silently. Why does it hurt so much? All I want is to be happy with the one I love? Was it too much to ask? She got up and wipes her tears. She took the picture and kept it in a drawer. She realised that there was nothing that could stop the wedding. It was just a little too late.

Later, Angelique went down to have her breakfast and realised that her father was out of sight. Usually, he would be at the table and have his breakfast but she was surprised to see Aro was waiting there instead. He was having a glass of blood and his blood red eyes were staring deeply into hers. He was in his black coat and his long straight hair falls softly below his shoulder. He was grinning happily and that makes Angelique even more nervous.

Angelique bow down and spoke to him, "G..good morning master. I didn't know that you'll be here at this time of hour." He nods, "Well, it is your wedding today and I just got too excited knowing how you will be a part of our family." Angelique was rather hurt by the statement. "I thought I was already a part of the family."

Aro smirked, "Now, now. Don't get to ahead of yourself. Did you really believe that you were part of us this whole time? How silly you are, my dear. It is never easy to be a part of the Volturi. Especially when one of these people has canine blood in them, don't you agree? I thought you know that beast and vampire don't mix well together." Angelique was so angry right now that she could feel her fangs threatening to come out but she keeps herself calm knowing that jumping on Aro and cutting of his head was not the best option.

"I understand. However, I'm glad that my father thinks I am a part of his family. That is much more than enough than be with a bunch of vampires that things they are so high and mighty yet there is nothing different about us, master. We are all the same. As my father has said, a person true self is not judge by their blood but only by the way they act. Besides, I know in my heart that I don't need to have everyone's love . As I've said, having my father by my sides is much more than enough. "

A part of her regretted saying that because as soon as she has finish spoken, Aro was standing right in front of her and even though he was grinning, she could tell that he do not like her tone one bit, "Such fine words spoken from a hybrid. Just like how a pure and proud vampire would."

He snickered and spat out in disgust, "Silly girl. You are just Marcus's pet. Do you really think that he cares about you? If my dear sister, Didyme was alive right now, I believe that you would be dead a long time ago." Angelique staggered behind, feeling cautious that he was too close.

Aro sighed. He grabs Angelique's hand gently and said, "Now, now. I refused to upset you on your wedding day. Why don't we just forget about everything that happens just now? You have to know that your union with Alec is a blessing. I expect more in the future with both of you by the coven sides. If there's anything that you would like to ask for, then don't hesitate to tell me, understood dear?" He holds her chin in a loving manner but his touch was so cold. Angelique felt like thousands of bugs was crawling on her skin right now. She nodded and said to him, "I understand. If you'll excuse me master, I have to see my father before getting ready for the wedding. I hope you have a fine day. She bowed and left the scene.

Aro was staring at her and somehow, all he could think of was her soft skin, beautiful blue eyes that shine like the sea, her delectable pinkish lips, golden hair that flows like fine silk and her full grown body. He was amazed by how beautiful she has got. If it wasn't for her mixed blood, he would've taken her for himself rather than giving her to his unstable minion. Just the thought of how her luscious body spread out on his bed and her sweet moan kissing his ears arouses him. Even his own wife never did that to him yet this girl that was supposed to be dirty makes him feel…alive. Aro wondered, maybe one day he would have a taste of her delectable body himself…

Angelique walks slowly to the garden and saw her father was quietly seating at the round glass table and looking at the blooming roses. There was tea pot on the table and two glasses of tea on the glass table that was still looking hot. Angelique smiled and walk to her father where she gave the biggest hug that she can give from behind and earn a chuckle from her father.

Marcus held her hand and brings her to seat beside him. He spoke, "I can't believe you are getting married today, Angel. I am very happy for you." He said with a smile but his eyes were weak and Angelique knew that he was upset. "Then why do you look upset father?" She asked him. Marcus sighed, "It pains me a little, Angel that I will not have you by my side again. I fear that I will lose my beautiful Angel forever." He brushes his knuckles on her cheeks softly.

His words brought tears to her eyes and her heart aches. For the first time in her whole life, she sees tears rolled down on his cheeks and the sight pains her. She wipes his tears and hugs him. "How can you ever think of such a thing? You will never ever lose me, father." She released her hug and spoke to him with a smile even with the tears that stained her cheeks, "You are my father. You saved my life even before I could learn how to walk, to speak and how to live my life. You were there when no one wants me. You took care of me even when I'm not even your true flesh and blood. You make me smile, laugh and even brush my teeth, comb my hair, sings to me before I went to bed, taught me everything about this world, spoil me with wonderful gifts and treasures and you even protect me. You loved me like how any father would love their child and God knows how grateful I am, father. No matter what happens, I will never want to see a tear in your eyes. Do believe that whenever you need me, I will always be there for you because you mean the world to me. I love you father."

Marcus smiled and hugs her softly. He caressed her hair in a loving manner and whispered, "Thank you, my love. Thank you for everything."

"Is this necessary?" Angelique asked one of the American human woman who was currently putting on the over the top diamond necklace on her neck. "Of course it is. This beauty makes your blue eyes pop out more, Miss Angelique. Besides, Sir Alec also wants you to wear this necklace. He said it was important that every man in the wedding knows that you belong to him. How sexy is he?" The beautiful brunette giggled with the rest of the woman that was currently helping her getting ready.

Angelique gave a weak smile and nodded. She stares at herself in the mirror and stood there in the pure white wedding gown. It was a beautiful lace gown that fitted her body just like a glove. The long sleeve of the dress was also a beautiful lace with pearls beaded around her wrist. It has a huge train that gives her the bridal feeling. The waist of the dress had a diamond belt that wraps around her, giving her a nice slim fitting curves and makes the dress even more beautiful. The top of the dress was fashioned in an off-the-shoulder style and the sight of her bare chest just a little bit below her neck and shoulders made her blushes. The dress was quite sexy for a wedding even though it was beautiful.

Moreover, her hair was curled at the end and was brought to the side. The other part of her hair was decorated with diamonds and flowers jewelry. None of the appearance that she was hoping for was to her wishes. She felt like a doll that Alec could've do whatever he wants. Finally, the woman put on her make-up and she was glad that they made it natural which is to her liking. Her lips were rosy pink and one of the women put on mascara on her eyelashes for the last touch up.

Everyone backed away and Angelique took a final glance at herself in the mirror. She was right. She looks and even feel like a doll. They girls was praising her and telling her how beautiful and fortunate she was but was she? Did she feel fortunate marrying a man that almost took her life and terrorize her? No, of course not. Then, "So beautiful." Angelique body was frozen and she heard a giggling from the girls. She did not dare to turn around but she felt like it wasn't necessary as she could feel Alec's hand wrapped around her waist. He signaled the girls to leave and when they did, he tighten his hold on Angelique and planted soft kisses on her neck.

"You are so beautiful, Angel. So, so beautiful. I can't believe you will finally be mine." Angelique bit her lip, fearing that she may scream since his touch was too scary for her. Alec holds her chin and turned her around. She looked up slowly into his red eyes and wide grin. He rubbed his thumb softly on her cheeks, "No one will have you but me, Angelique. No one. Especially that no good mutt that thinks you belong to him. Good thing he is gone now." He chuckled, "It was great to have to put him down, twice."

Angelique froze. She stared at him in shock and struggle to be away from him. "What are you talking about?" She staggered back but he came closer, "Do you really think I'm a fool, Angelique? I have eyes everywhere. I don't know how he survived but I've made sure that he won't do the same this time." Angelique body shivers and tears started to fall from her eyes. She ran up to him and hit his chest as hard as she could, "What did you do? What did you do to him you monster! How could you! How could you kill him! What did he ever do to you! What did I ever do to you! I've done everything that you want me too until now! How could you do this?" She cried and her feet were too weak that she fell on her knees and cried on his feet.

Alex knelt down and shush her gently, "Now, now Angelique. We have a wedding to be done with before you're finally mine. Crying will only ruin your looks. It's no use crying for a dead man. I'll make you very happy Angelique. I swear that no one shall hurt you ever again as long as I live. You must know that everything that I do, I've do it for you. For us. You should be glad that no one would've loved you as much as I do." She continues to cry and it annoys Alec. However, he sigh and said "If you'll excuse me, I have to get ready now. Make sure you wipe of the tears on your face and make yourself presentable, understand?" He taps her shoulder, kiss her cheeks and left the room.

Angelique heart has shattered into thousands pieces. Nothing matters anymore. Nothing. She reminisces the moment she spend her time with Paul. The woods that they met, the first time she knew who he truly was, their first date, their first kiss and everything that they went through together, His words, voice and sweet scent. Poor, Paul. My beautiful Paul. I'm so sorry, my love. I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. What must I do now? How can I ever live when you had suffered because of me? Oh Paul….
