Chapter 1.
I glanced up in shock, dropping my meal I'd just finished to the floor, after seeing the doors bang open, causing us all to freeze in surprise and the remaining humans to scurry into a corner, terrified, from us and the bang! And there in the doorway, to mine and my brother's throne room, is the most beautiful human I have ever laid eyes upon in all of my, almost three thousand years of living on this earth. She lookes rather beautiful, her eyes ablaze with fury, as she walked in, stepping over or around dead bodies, and stoppes at the steps to our three thrones, and turned to face us all.
"I want to speak with the three kings or one of you, if you are available?" She asked, not at all bothered or sorry she'd interrupted our dinner time. Felix and Demetri had closed the doors when she walked in, so none of the humans could escape. Believe it or not, we don't miss a thing, and they will not have made it very far.
"How is it a human knows of our existence?" I asked her, and when her beautiful brown eyes met mine, the throne room disappeared and all I can see is my woman, my soul becoming alive for the first time in decades, as it reached out to hers, wrapping themsleves together and vanishing as our bodys united in mind, body, soul and spirt, we will always know where we are or if the other is injured, seperation will be a bitch as well from.what I have witnessed frok other mated pairs. All of a sudden, it stopped as quickly as it started, and she blinks and blushes prettily paints her heart shaped face, moving her long choclate brown locks behind her rght ear, and her eyes flashed with anger.
"I was made a fool of, used, and dumped like I was yesterday's trash. I have come seeking revenge for my father's murder and help for my shifter, wolf-pack family, who do not know I am here." It's a good job she said shifter... I am now standing directly in front of her.
"And what evidence do you have to support your claim? You have risked everything coming here, including putting the vampire's you once associated with, on the firing line." She sneered, when I mentioned the Vampires, our eyes never breaking contact, she surprisingly walked up the steps and sat on my throne, Aro and Marcus now stood close and I growled at them suddenly, not liking how close they are to mine, even though I know they are no threat.
We all watched as she pushed up her jumpers sleeve and held it out for me to see. I put her bag down on her lap and took hold of her hand, feeling the tingles and comfort. I knew she felt it, too, as she gasped. I brought it up and leaned in shock. I look at Aro and Marcus, who have taken a step back!
"A vampire has indeed attacked her, but how are you still alive, Ms...?"
"Isabella," she said, glancing behind me in the direction of the humans, then whispered. "I prefer Bella, though. I'm Bella Swan. I can't remember all of your names, but I did see a painting of the three of you, in the coven's home I frequently visited till they left."
"Which coven do you speak of Bella? You should not be alive, or you should be a vampire, from that bite mark on your wrist. Will you let Caius sniff it to see if he can recognise anything at all? How does it feel?" Aro asks.
"It's fine and warm at times but mostly cold as ice. The Vampire family I thought I was apart of, the one who told me I was his mate (I growled!) And introduced me to your world and alternate lifestyle choice, sucked the venom out of me from a Vampire, we learned is named James Hunter. His coven came across the one that lived in my town whilst they played baseball, during a thunderstorm, and decided to make me his next victim of the chase, but they had underestimated the skill of this coven... and we made it to Phoenix, Arizona, when he tricked me into thinking he had my mother at my old Ballet studio. She used to torture me with going to when I was younger." She paused, and I leaned in to sniff and surprised her by licking the cresent shaped marks. Her arousal spikes, and I felt my dick hardening under my robes. I felt angry and aroused at the same time for different reasons, she tased and smellsso fucking good, and it is taking me alot of effor to not fuck and mark her, right here on my throne.
"And what happened, Bella? I have a strong scent of Carlisle Cullen venom laced with something else... has he created any vampires in the last 200 years, Cara?" I ask her.
"That is the coven, I feel used by. Yes, his mate Esme was the first. Then he turned AssWard, the one who told me I was his mate, and then he turned Rosalie and then her mate Emmett. Jasper and Alice joined the coven. Edward sucked the venom out of my system. Personally, I wanted to be a vampire and felt confused as I lay in the hospital with a broken leg, a few cracked ribs, and glass after a being throne into a wall of mirrors. And I had a lot of time to think about why my so-called mate didn't want me to be like him." She paused.
"The day after my eighteenth birthday a week ago, he dumped me, in the forest knowing full well that theres a deranged she-devil still after me because THEY killed her mate, Victoria!" Pain and anger flashed in her eyes.
"The very same day, I was found by friends of ours in the woods and went back to my god fathers house in La Push, who is also a Chief but not a Police Chief, the next day Alpha Sam and Paul drove me home, only to find my father had been having sex in his living room, but his head had been removed with a bloody note pinned to his pennis... I had heard a few noises coming from his room, whenever the Cullens had gone hunting, but never imagined it would be with the person who wants me dead! To be honest, it confused me even more that she hadn't killed me. I have photographic evidence, and the note in my bag and that Paul, who is second in charge of the pack, removed it. They have no clue I am here. It was his funeral yesterday, and I said I wanted space but drove straight to the airport and brought clothes a bag and suitcase there. The human authorities are baffled and are putting it down to an old enemy of Charlie's in the Mafia crime world." She finished, closing her eyes and leaning her head back.
I scooped her up, making her make a cute, surprised noiseand ran out of the throne room to my private chambers when the need to protect took over. I heard Aro and Marcus come in with Bella's bag and then I remembered she said she brought a suitcase, and clothes at the airport, so as I led her to the chair by the lit fireplace, I asked her.
"Where is your suitcase, Bella? Aro and Marcus have just brought your bag in that I am about to go and get. They know not to approach me when I am like this..." I say.
"I left it with your human receptionist, Gigi, Gi, Gianna or whatever her name was, I wasn't really paying attention, wh-" I was gone before she coud blink and ordered Heidi to bring her suitcase to Aro and Marcus.
I placed Bella's bag on the chair and found her looking through the new glass windows, where we can see out but people can't see in at all, they look out onto the gardens, with a view of the fields and forest behind Volterra. I wanted this end purely for the sunsets, and it is a little quieter than other parts of the castle.
I couldn't resist, I wrapped my arms aroind her from behind and she didn't flinch or shy away from me, as we just enjoyed the peace and each others comfort, as I rested my chin on her shoulder, she is the perfect height for me.
"Am I imagining things? I came hear furious and hurt, but now I feel calm and like I belong here which I wasn't expexting to feel."
"Gianna should have called one of us... You looked like a beautiful angry goddess, standing there between two doors you should not have been able to push open... you also managed to do the unthinkable and shock a coven full of powerful vampires. How did you know where to find us?" Probably a stupid question, Gianna.
"I asked Gianna and she told me, after I left my suitcase with her. I think she was too shocked, and I didn't even touch the doors. I was so angry and hurt and relieved that I finally made it here, there was a few rough moments on the plane that freaked me out a bit. I felt relieved it isn't all made up crap from AssWard and the other Cullens. I didn't even care you lot where munching on humans, just glad I made it here. The pack is probably blowing up my phone. I haven't turned it on since I left, Forks Washington." I felt a little guilt coming from her.
"You have nothing to feel guilty about, Bella. You have been through a lot in a short space of time. Nobody deserves to go through what you have, I am also angry that the Cullens left you so unprotected and isolated in our world. How many shapeshiters are there?"
"Um, five at the moment, but I know the boys are keeping an eye on some of the tribe's locals because they were starting to show signs of phasing into a wolf. How did you know I was feeling guilty, and what happened back in the throne room?" She asked, turning around to face me, placing her hands on my chest, and looking directly into my red eyes with no fear. My woman is simply an amazing creature.
"It is called a mating soul-bond, which is much stronger, unbreakable, and rare amongst my kind. Not even spells or those with gilts that could damage bonds of covens or mated pairs can break through ours. The only other's I have heard of is my brother's and their wives, and Eleazar Denali and his wife, Peter and Charlotte Whitlock, are another. Marcus has the gift of reading bonds, and in all of our three thousand years, he's only ever come across these mates, with the blessing of the soul-bond. Marcus confirmed it to me when you showed us your bite mark!" I explained to her.
"I never felt anything close with AssWard. Looking back, he didn't even treat me the same as the others did their mate's. I'm glad I've made this split second decisions and decided to come here without telling anyone. The boys probably would have kidnapped me or talked me out of it, maybe even both." Our foreheads are now touching, her arms aroind my neck.
Our lips touched, and sparks flew when a nervous knock on the door broke the spell of our monent... it better be important.
Note: Bella will be showing them the evidence in the next chapter or third, I'm going with the flow so everything that happens is a surprise for me to, as well as you all who kindly join me on my first writing adventure :-)
P.S - Thanks for pointing out the mistake of Eleazar's name. I have now changed it :-)
