I Loved Her First by Heartland
Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each others face
So much in love your alone in this place
Like there's nobody else in the world
I was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one
She told me so
And she still means the world to me
Just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girl
Time changes everything
Life must go on
And I'm not gonna stand in your way
But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it still hard to give her away
I loved her first
How could that beautiful women with you
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairy tales to
And tucked into bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time
But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But its still hard to give her away
I loved her first
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first
Chapter 31: Wedding and Honeymoon
(Jane's POV)
It was three in the afternoon and we had finished setting up the garden. I was on my way to Raven's room with my dress. Heidi, Renata, Chelsea, and Chloe were already there when I arrived.
"I'll help you with Raven's hair," Heidi said when I walked in, "Renata offered to do Raven's make up."
"How about you girls get ready first then." Raven said as we helped her into her dress.
We all agreed and helped each other get ready. While I was doing up Chloe's hair I noticed something.
"Are you a natural blonde Chloe?" I asked her when I finished up with her hair.
"No I'm a natural brunette," she replied, "I dyed my hair when I was human."
"Why?" I asked and she shrugged.
"It's a long story." When she didn't say anything else I decided to let it go.
Nessie came into the room then and Heidi helped her get ready.
"What does a flower girl do?" She asked as Heidi did up her hair.
"You just walk down the aisle and throw out flower pedals." Renata said.
"That's easy," Nessie said smiling. Once Heidi was done with Nessie; Chloe took Nessie to the garden entrance while Heidi turned to Raven.
"Ok Raven," Heidi said, "It's your turn." It took forty five minutes to finish Raven's hair and make-up.
"Don't forget the tiara." Caius said coming in with his wife.
"We didn't." I replied putting the tiara and veil in her hair.

(Caius's POV)
I watched with my wife as Jane perfected Raven's hair and Dress.
"Ok," I said after a few minutes, "it's twenty to six and I'd like some time with my daughter before giving her away."
"Yes sir," Jane said smiling at Raven then left with the other women to wait for us.
"You look beautiful Raven," Athenodora said walking up to Raven, "I never thought I would see this day come."
"You and me both mother." Raven said smiling hugging
Athenodora.
"Well then," Athenodora said walking out, "I'll leave you two alone." She kissed my cheek before she left to go take her seat with my brothers.
"You do look very beautiful Raven." I said coming up to her.
"Thank you father." Raven smiled and I sighed
"I always knew this day would come," I said, "and I always thought I would be ready for it, but I can't begin to explain how wrong I was. I'm not ready to give away my little girl."
"I'm not little anymore father." She replied taking my hand.
"I know, but in a father's eyes his daughter never grows up." I said, "I guess I'm just not ready to give you to someone else."
"Oh Father," Raven said hugging me, "you will always be my first love."
I hugged her back not wanting to let go, "I love you Raven." I said before we left her room and headed to the garden.
(Alec's POV)
I was standing at the front of the aisle talking to Demetri as everyone took their seats and positions.
(Garden set up)
"Well I guess I should go get with the others," Demetri said walking towards the entrance. I noticed he walked up to Chloe smiling and started talking to her. Heidi had paired them up to walk down the aisle together. I shifted in place; being the center of attention didn't usually bother me, but today it did.
"Don't look so serious Alec," Aro smiled coming up to me; "you're getting married so smile." I tried but failed and Aro chuckled at my expression.
"I just got word that our island in the Caribbean is ready for your arrival," Aro said, "you and Raven will leave after the reception and you should get there around eight in the morning."
"Thank you sir." Aro smiled and left to go sit by his wife.
Music started playing and I straightened up looking at the entrance. Nessie skipped down the aisle smiling brightly while throwing flowers pedals; she was wearing the tiara that Raven gave her for Christmas. I smiled amused at how much she was enjoying the attention. Demetri and Chloe were the first to walk down the aisle and the others followed behind them taking their spots at the front.
The doors opened and when Caius walked though with Raven I stopped breathing. Jane was right, Raven could pass as a goddess. After Caius brought Raven up the ceremony started. Carlisle offered to play priest since that's what he was when he was human.

(Raven's Hair/Tiara)
"Vows?" Carlisle asked once he finished with the basics.
I took a breath, "Raven, I'm not the good guy; but I promise to always be good to you. You helped me learn to love and trust again. I will strive to give you the best of myself, while accepting you the way you are. I promise to love you in good times and in bad, with all I have to give and all that I am, in the only way I know how. I promise to love and care for you, and I will try in every way to be worthy of your love. I promise to encourage your compassion because that is what makes you unique and wonderful. I promise to nurture your dreams because through them your soul shines. I will always be honest with you, kind, patient and forgiving. But most of all, I promise to be a true and loyal friend to you now and forever."
Raven smiled brightly and if she could cry she would be.
"Alec," Raven started, "In your eyes, I have found my home. In your heart, I have found my love. In your soul, I have found my mate. With you, I am whole, full, and alive. You make me laugh. You let me cry. I believe in you, the person you will grow to be and the couple we will be together. With my whole heart, I take you as my husband, acknowledging and accepting your faults and strengths, as you do mine. I love you for your beauty, your intelligence, your kindness...and for the way you always know how to make me feel so special. So on top of all the other vows that I will make to you on our wedding day; I also vow to always appreciate how lucky I am to have someone who makes me feel the way you do and to continue to try as hard as I can to make you feel as special as you make me feel. On this day, I give you my heart. My promise: that I will walk with you hand in hand; wherever our journey leads us. Living, learning, loving, and being together forever."
After we kissed and exchanged rings we left for pictures while everyone else went to the throne room for the reception.

"Are we done yet?" Raven asked sounding tired. Jane made us walk all over the Volturi's large garden. She made sure to take pictures of us in every spot the garden had.
"Sister," I said, "everyone is probably waiting for us and keeping Caius from his dance with Raven isn't a good idea."
"Fine." Jane muttered leading us back to the garden.
Raven and I started off the first slow dance to: A Thousand Years. I couldn't help but laugh because this song was perfect for vampires. When that dance was over Caius danced with his daughter to a song he chose. He chose I loved Her First by Heartland and through the song I couldn't help but feel guilty for taking Raven form him. For the rest of the evening, Raven danced with pretty much every vampire in the room. I stuck to dancing and talking with people in my coven. I got extremely nervous when I had to dance with Lady Athenodora; she can be more intimidating than Caius.
After several hours couples start to disappear form the room and Raven and I had to leave to the airport; our luggage was already on the private plane and it was scheduled to leave in a couple hours. We said good bye to everyone and Raven took extra time saying goodbye to her father, mother, aunts, and uncles. Caius made sure to give me the father 'if you hurt my girl' lecture. As we left in the limo he glared at me, but it wasn't cold or hateful like it usually was and I was happy that I was finally off his 'hate list;' at least for now I was.
"Jane put a change of clothes for us in this case." I said when we got onto the plane holding out a small carryon bag. "When we get to the island it will be morning so we can look around. Chelsea told me about some great tide pools that always have lots of sea life in them."
Raven smiled stepping into the back room to changed and came out a second later in a black sundress with a bathing suit on underneath. I was wearing a black t-shirt with black swim trunks on. During the flight we played games and watched Pirates of the Caribbean on the plane's movie screen. Surprisingly, Raven really enjoyed the moves in the series. I didn't expect her to care for them that much.
Just like Aro said, we arrived at the island around eight in the morning. The house we were staying in was a large house by the beach. On the other side of the small island was a smaller house for some lower guard members. Caius sent them to keep the island safe and prevent nomads or other vampires form coming to this island. They took our stuff to the house and unpacked for us so we didn't have to spend time on that.
The first thing we did was 'hike' up the small mountain on the island so Raven could see the whole thing from a high view. We explored the four beached on the island and I gave her a tour of the house we were staying in.
We walked along the tide pools and Chelsea wasn't kidding when she said there was a lot of sea live in them. There were eels, starfish, fish, crabs, and we even say an octopus. There was a medium size aquarium back at the house so Raven picked out several fish and star fish to put in it while we were here.
We swam in the ocean along the beach in front of our house. I taught Raven how to surf, but she preferred the boogie boarding. Because Raven is a kid at heart, we built tons of sand structures and I enjoyed burying her in the sand. By the time we were done there was only two hours before sunset. Raven and I went back to the house to wash off all the sand and dirt. I took the first shower because Raven had the feeling she would be taking a longer shower; she was right.
"I keep finding sand on me!" Raven complained after being in the shower for thirty minutes. I couldn't stop laughing as I listened to her complaining about sand. After another thirty minutes she was cleaned up and had her hair dried. Raven was dressed in black pajamas pants and long sleeved shirt. I was dressed in black pajama pants and a buttoned up shirt.
"The sun is starting to go down," I said leading her out to the bedroom patio.
"Sand is fun," Raven said as we watched the sun go down, "but it's a pain after a while."
"Since it annoys humans and vampires I guess sand wins as the most annoying thing on this earth." I replied laughing remembering how much she muttered to herself while in the shower.
"Sunsets here are incredible." Raven said after the sun had gone down.
"The ocean makes everything incredible." I replied turning her in my arms so I could kiss her.
"So we're married now Alec." Raven said breaking the kiss.
I smirked knowing what she wanted, "yes we are," I replied, "your point?"
"It's not funny to mess with your wife Alec." Raven pouted then walked into the bed room and I followed. I grabbed her by the waist and spun her around then kissed her again.
"Was I messing with you?" I asked innocently, "I thought I was just asking a question."
Raven laughed and wrapped her arms around my neck pulling herself closer to me. She kissed me again and I was going to continue to tease her, but when she opened her mouth for me I decided it wasn't worth it. I pushed her back until her legs hit the edge of the bed, by this point Raven had pushed my shirt off. I took off her shirt and noticed her black bra.
"Now if you want this so badly," I said breaking the kiss for a moment, "then why are you wearing that bra?"
Raven sighed innocently, "I figured you should work for what you want."
(Rated Mfrom here on. Don't Read if you don't like lemons scenes!)
I smirked, "you're good." She laughed and kisses me again while I removed her pants and pushed her onto the bed. She scooted to the center before I got on top of her only wearing my underwear.
I kissed Raven while her hands explored my bare chest. I slowly moved to her neck and found her sensitive spot making her moan. When she lifted her hips to grind on me, I moved my hands to her hips to stop her.
"Not so fast," I said looking at her smirking, "I make the first move tonight."
Raven pouted, "that's not fair." She said and was going to continue but stopped when I nibbled on her neck.
"Ok then do what you want." She gasped as I licked her sensitive spot again.
"I was hoping you'd say that," I murmured. I moved my hands up her body and removed her bra loving her moans of pleasure. I kissed down to her breasts while she held onto the comforter. When I took her right nipple in my mouth she arched her back and moaned loudly. For the next few minutes I slowly worked on her breast, nipping and licking. Eventually I decided to move on and continued to kiss my way down to her stomach. When I reached her belly button I softly blew cold air onto it making her squirm and giggle. I peppered kisses on her stomach and hips while I removed her under wear. The smell of her arousal engulfed me and I growled lowly parting her legs.
I kissed her right inner thigh and rubbed my thumb on her left hip to calm her nerves which were clearly starting to show. Once she was calm enough I moved my hand from her hip and softly placed my thumb on her clit. She inhaled sharply as I started moving my thumb in circles along her most pleasurable spot.
"A-Alec." She gasped then moaned loudly. She was so wet and I couldn't hold back anymore. I removed my thumb and quickly replaced it with my tong tasting her. I licked her clit enjoying her taste and moans as she lifted her hips closer to me. When I knew she was so lost in the pleasure I decide to move on and quickly inserted my index finger into her. She jumped a little startle by the feeling as I slowly moved my finger in and out. When she started moving her hips in the same rhythm I inserted another finger pumping them in her faster.
As I pumped my finger in her I moved back up to be level with her face again. I kissed her deeply and she moved her hands to my hairs moaning aginst my lips. I moved my lips form hers to whisper in her ear.
"Come on Raven, come for me." A few seconds after I spoke I felt her walls tighten around me and she screamed my name as her orgasm took over. Raven arched her back and I quickly removed my fingers form inside her to hold her close to me. When she finally came down from her high, I moved my arm from around her back to cup her cheek while I supported my weight on my other arm. Raven was panting unnecessary breaths while I leaned in to kiss her other cheek.
"Wow Alec." Raven said breathlessly and I kissed her again. While I kissed her she moved her hands to remove my underwear and I helped. She moaned feeling my hard dick against her thigh. I slowly lifted her and pulled the bed sheets off from under her. I laid her back down and pulled the sheets over her then kissed her softly. Raven was a virgin I could smell her innocence. Male vampires could tell if women were virgins or not and because of that I knew from day one how innocent she was. I moved my hands down to her waist and allowed my black mist to surround her waist down to her thighs.
"Are you ready?" I asked her breaking out kiss and looking into her eyes.
"Thanks to you, yes." She smiled referring to me using my gift. I kissed her again and quickly entered het taking away her innocence. Thanks to my gift she didn't feel anything and neither could I because my mist was surrounding me as well. I kissed Raven and explored her mouth for a few minutes before slowly removing my mist from around us. Once she got her feeling back Raven gasped and I groaned when I felt her shiver.
"Are you ok?" I asked after a moment.
"Yes." She replied and I looked into her eyes for a moment. I pulled out then slammed back into her causing her to moan. After a moment's pause to give her time I repeated moving slowly for her. When she started moving her hips up to match my thrusts, I took is as my cue to start moving faster. I moved my hands to her waist and started to mover fasted causing her moan louder than I've ever heard.
"God Raven." I moaned nuzzling her neck while she dug her nails into my shoulders.
"Faster Alec, please." She gasped out and I lifted my head to look into her eyes smirking. I kissed her and moved my hand to her right thigh. I moved her right leg further up my waist making me go in deeper and she actually growled in pleasure. Her growl sounded like a little kitten's growl, but I felt accomplished because I was finally able to make Raven growl. I moved faster and she moaned and growled at the same time.
I moved both hands to cup behind her knees and pushed her legs up spreading them wider for me. I moved even faster by slow enough to enjoy this moment. I felt her walls tighten around me and I released her leg and fell forward supporting my weight on my arms as my chest pressed into hers.
"Come on Raven." I hissed clenching my teeth together. I felt her muscles spasm and in the next second she screamed out when her orgasm hit her harder than last time. I moved in her a few more times then growled as I released inside of her. During her orgasm and my release, I move my mouth to the base of her neck and bit her; officially making her mine for forever.
After I bit her I laid my head over her dead heard and wrapped my arms around her lower back; while pulling out of her. We both laid there in a comfortable silence. Raven slowly moved her fingers through my hair as if brushing my hair slowly; the feeling made me smile and purr.
I moved so I could look into her eyes, "I love you Raven." I whispered moving down to kiss my mark on her neck.
"I love you too Alec," She replied then moved my face so I was looking at her again, "you know we still have several hours before sun up." I smirked and kissed her deeply ready for another round with my wife.
