"Yes," she whispered in shock, her eyes glistening with tears that'll never fall. I slid the ruby diamond, sitting on a real gold band, onto her ring finger, stood up, and pulled her in for a deep kiss as we bounced feelings between each other. We didn't need to speak to one another about our feelings, which is a blessing as I am not one of those kinds of men.

"I know it's so soon, but it feels like you've always been here, my Queen, my mate, my love... and I'm a selfish and possessive, overprotective man. And want to mark you in every way I can, not just with my venom and our beautiful soul-bonded mating marks."

"Mmm, I want to make it obvious you are mine too. Even though I can scent us on each other, this does make me feel more secure. I think reds become my new favourite colour, I love my ring, by the way, but I love you more than life its self, our love and your voice is what I kept hold of during the change. I believe you said nobody can break a soul-bonded couple? I like the idea of being tied to you as well, in every way we can." I kiss her hard, sending her love through our bond.

"I do have a few more gifts for you, Cara." I kiss her lips and lead her to them, and open the Swan necklace up. She gasped, and venom tears came to the front of her eyes, making her blood red, newborn eyes, shine.

"It's so pretty and the detailing!" She whispered in awe, her hand going to her throat suddenly, and eyes widening, an oh, coming from her lips. I took hold of the hand holding her throat and led her to the humans, sending her calm.

"Congratulations, master on your soul-bonded mating, and engagement to mistress," Heidi said. Bella had her free arm wrapped tight around my arm, that is holding her hand. She has anxiety, hunger, and other things rolling off of her. I nod to Heidi in acknowledgement.

"Before you leave, has the idiot arrived?" I ask them before they did, feeling annoyed but sent Bella calm still and love, feeling her control slip.

"It has arrived in Volterra but has not been given permission to enter yet, master. Felix and Alec are keeping the drama queen at bay."

"Who is here?" Bella croaked out, and unable to control her thirst any longer, latches onto the closest human woman who screams, and my beautiful fiancée moans, as she tastes the fresh blood for the first time, causing my dick to harden at the sight, as Demetri steps back after she hissed beautifully at him, when he went to remove the body from her clutches, only she wasn't done yet.

"Tell him he can have an audiande in two hours, try to block your Queen out of your heads," I said to them.

"That shouldn't be a problem master!" Demetri said smugly and pulled Heidi behind him as Bella latched onto the man next. You'd think she had been doing this for years, not a single drop of blood on her, just stained lips.

"It can not hear us! Alec is having way too much fun with that little bit of information."

"Interesting..." I say, as I feel Bella's blood lust spike on the last woman, she drains her quicker than the others, and if I didn't know better, I'd say that woman was her singer. If that is the case and judging by the moans my mate is making, as she enjoys her blood, my line of thoughts is correct. At least she will never have to worry about that, if I'm correct.

Heidi and Demetri left with the bodies as soon as Bella wrapped her perfect body around mine and our lips locked in a heated kiss. I could hear them trying to talk a few more things to me before they did truly leave, only I had a gorgeous vampire queen that is all mine, wrapped around me. Needless to say, it wasnt long until we were in a hot hard fucking bubble! And we didn't slow down until we felt like it, and I made love to my fiancée.

I loved the fact we didn't need to breathe and could snog for hours if we wanted to. The fact I can feel my mate makes pur coupling even more special and unique, and I love the fact she can feel me too. We now lay in a tangle of limbs, holding onto each other tightly, occasionally kissing as our bodies still recover from the most intense release I have ever had.

"I know it's not a dream, but I feel like it is. I came here seeking revenge, hurt and grieving, only to find the most sexy, amazing and handsome Viking King, that is all mine as much as I am his, and to experiece what we have these past three or four days, I've lost count... makes me feel a little foolish and stupid forever, believing the 100 something year old virgin asshole. If I ever see that asshole again, I am not sure how I will react." I kiss her.

"Mmm, I never expected to find my true mate either, Cara. But now I have you, I can not picture my life without you in it. I don't speak of my feelings very often, so I'm rather grateful that our epmath bond works both ways. I love you more than life itself, and I will kill anyone who lays even a finger on your perfect body the wrong way. Regarding said asshole, I'm glad you chose sex instead of talking, Bella, but the Cullen brat has come here, to Volterra to end his patheric existence, due to being wrongly informed of your death." She growled, and we both moaned when my dick hardens inside her, tight cool core. That's now my favourite place to be, I'll never tier of this feeling with her.

"I was hoping I wouldn't have to see any Cullen so soon..." I kissed her and rolled us over, so I am on top. I rolled my hips into hers, and she moaned, tangling her fingers into my long hair. That's halfway down my back.

"You do not have to, Cara. You are my Queen, soon to be my wife, and their you will become our people's queen. My brother's and I can handle the Cullen brat. You can stay in here and get yourself settled into our chamber's, and when you feel ready, you can be introduced to Didyme and Sulpica, Aro, and Marcus wives. They rarely leave the tower unless it is for main events and always heavily guarded," I explain to her. She leans up and kisses me, I felt her acceptance of my words.

"Make love to me, Caius. I think I will stay here this time. I want to surprise them at our wedding, which I am assuming will be a big event?" I nod and lean down to capture her lips and take my time with my soul mate.

The rest of the world can wait.

Hope everyone is having a fab weekend :-)

Note: Thanks for reminding me about Aro's wife :-) I have changed that, now :-)
