Bella - BPOV

So much has changed in the last six months. After Edward left, my whole life was turned upside down. I was catatonic for months; Charlie didn't know how to fix me and asked Renee and Phil to come over. They agreed but never made it to Forks; they died in a car crash on their way over.

The only good thing to come out of that was that it made me realize that there are worse things in life than being left behind by a family that didn't love me. It took losing my mother to see that, a lesson learned the very hard way. I pulled myself out of my funk and that made Charlie very happy.

But like they say bad things seldom come alone. One month after Renee's and Phil's funeral Charlie was killed while investigating a break-in at Newton's Olympic Outfitters, the store owned by Mike Newton's parents. With that, I lost the last person on this earth that mattered to me.

Everyone in town did their best to support me and help me, but all it did was feed the anger inside me, anger towards Edward for thoroughly screwing up my life. The day he left me, he set all of this in motion and I would never forgive him for that. I can't believe I ever thought I loved him.

Six months after Edward left, I set out to find the meadow that once was so special to me. I had found all my birthday presents that were stashed away under the floor in my room and I was going to burn them there. It seemed like a fitting end, I needed to let go so that I could move on. I was going to college and I was leaving Forks behind for good.

In the meadow, I ran into Laurent, who tried to kill me and he would have succeeded if it hadn't been for five giant wolves, scaring him off. I made it back home, only to find Alice in my living room, questioning me why I was still alive because she saw Laurent trying to kill me. I explained the whole wolves-coming-to-the-rescue bit and thought that was the end of it.

But no, of course not, Edward decided to believe Rose when she said I was dead and that's how we ended up in Volterra, saving his ass and finding my true mate. Well, at least one good thing came out of it.

My gorgeous Demetri, that is carrying me to his quarters with quite the cheeky grin on his face. I can't help myself from leaning into him and inhaling his scent. Hmm, he smells like fresh bread and olive oil, very Mediterranean, yummy! He enters a room and puts me down, his hands never leaving my hips. The tingling feeling, that courses through my body, is slowly driving me wild. I never felt anything like this with Edward. They had me fooled real good, making me think he was my mate. He wasn't, this hunk of a man is. Thank god, I'm a confident woman now. I look up into his eyes and put on my most innocent smile when I say:

"Don't I get a kiss?"

Demetri - DPOV

I carry Bella over to my quarters and put her back on the ground in the living room. I can hear her inhaling my scent and I can feel myself getting harder. Fuck, this woman is going to be the death of me. I can't seem to let her go; my hands can't seem to leave her hips. It's becoming harder and harder to resist the mating pull, I'm hanging on by a thread.

"Don't I get a kiss?"

That's all it takes to make me lose control. She's mine and I'm going to show her right now. The moment our lips touch is earthshattering and I know right there and then that I'll never love another woman like I love Bella. It's like our souls connect never intending to let go. My hands start roaming her body and Isabella jumps up, wrapping her legs around my waist.

I press her back up against the wall and press my hard member against her hot center. The moan that escapes her lips makes me even harder. God, this woman drives me wild. I start kissing her neck and suck hard at her pulse point, making sure I leave a mark. I can't bite her yet, that would be too soon, but she'll wear some sign indicating she's mine. I move over to the couch and sit down with Bella straddling my lap.

"Look at me, cara mia. Show me those beautiful eyes."

The moment she looks up into my eyes, I'm lost. I can see my own love mirrored in her eyes. We're two parts of one whole; she will complete me as I will complete her, for eternity. No one will ever take her away from me. She's mine and I'll fight to keep her safe and sound in my arms. Bella moves one of her hands to the hairs at the base of my neck and starts stroking me. A purr escapes my throat and I can see Bella smiling at the sound. I hate myself for making such a ridiculous sound, but if it makes her happy, I'll gladly do it again.

We spent the next hours sitting like that, enjoying each other's company and talking about our lives. She tells me about her mother and father and everything that happened the last year. I let her cry when she needs to and hold her in a comforting embrace. I tell her about my human life, my change, and the most important facts of my vampire life up till today. Her fingers trace the scars on my arms and I feel the happiest I've ever been in my whole existence.

"When do you want me to change you, Bella?"

"As soon as possible, I don't want to be weak anymore, there's no one left of my human life to miss me, so I'm ready for it."

"Glad to hear it, tesoro. Why don't you get ready for bed and then I can go and talk to the masters while you get some sleep. You look rather tired."

Bella nods and makes her way to the bathroom, I take out one of my shirts for her to sleep in and put it on the bed. Then I leave my quarters to find Master Aro and ask his permission to change Bella tomorrow. I find him in his office with Marcus and Caius.

"Masters, Bella wants to be changed as soon as possible. Do I have your permission to do so tomorrow?"

"Yes, you do, Demetri, for several reasons. We assume that Edward won't be as accepting of this bond as we would like him to be. He'll try and convince Carlisle that we kept Bella against her will, even though Alice has seen otherwise. Carlisle has a strong bond with his eldest son and tends to indulge him too much. We need to consider that.

Changing Bella will give us an advantage. It will make your bond grow stronger. You're relieved from all guard duties during her change and until Bella is in control of her thirst. Be there for your mate, Demetri. The bigger the love you share, the stronger you are as a couple. Edward will try and take her away from you. Be prepared for that, but know that Bella is one of us now and we won't let him."

"Thank you, Masters. I will change Bella the moment she wakes up."

"Perfect, you may go now, make your preparations."

I bow and leave the room. I started processing everything that has happened today. The initial euphoria of finding my mate is clouded after the words of Aro. Could that mind-reader really be that delusional and think that our bond wasn't real? Didn't he read my mind? I must have called Bella my mate over a dozen times in my head. Marcus confirmed the bond; even his sister saw it in one of her crazy visions. Maybe the saying is true and love does really make people do stupid things.

I can feel a tug at my heart, telling me to go back to Bella but I need to hunt first. I'm not going to risk my Bella's life by not hunting beforehand. I quickly run out of the city for a snack and hurry back to my quarters. I find Bella in my bed fast asleep, she looks like an angel. I sit down on the bed next to her and stroke her hair. She surprises me by rolling over and pulling me against her. I hear her whispering in her sleep:

"Demi… mine…"

I let out a little chuckle and whisper in response:

"You're totally right, my Bella, I'm yours and you are mine. No one will ever change that, not even that idiotic ex-boyfriend of yours."

Bella - BPOV

I wake up in a strange room and it takes me a second to realize where I am. Volterra… Demetri! I sit up so fast that I feel dizzy. I hear someone laughing and look straight into the most beautiful red eyes of the world.

"Are you trying to give yourself a whiplash, cara mia?"

I swat him playfully and give him a quick peck on the lips. He puts his hands around my waist and pulls me closer.

"Now, is that how you treat the love of your life, tesoro? Let me show you, how it's done."

He leans down to kiss me and my insides turn to goo instantly. God, this man knows how to turn my world upside down. I break away, panting for air. He pulls me to my feet and I can see him checking me out. I look in the mirror and suddenly realize that I'm only wearing his shirt. A blush instantly colors my cheeks. Demetri kisses my neck and whispers:

"So beautiful…"

I turn around and sway my hips while walking to the living room. The small groan he makes has me smiling. It's good to know I affect him too.

"How about we get a last meal for the human? I'm not dying without my last portion of bacon."

"You're right, tesoro. Just sit down and I'll go out and get it for you. Anything else to go with that bacon?"

"American pancakes, maple syrup, and orange juice"

"Your wish is my command, Bella, I'll be right back."

And the next moment he's gone. Damn that vampire speed. I take the time to go through Demetri's closet and pick out a pair of sweat pants and a T-shirt. I make quick work of my hair and put the clothes on. I might as well get comfortable if I have to endure three days of pain. I walk back to the living room, right as Demetri is putting down my breakfast on the coffee table. He looks at me and his eyes turn pitch-black. He swallows hard before saying:

"Damn woman, you look hot in my clothes."

I giggle and sit down to eat. I moan when I taste the bacon, which has Demetri leaving the room with the message that he'll be taking a very cold shower, while I finish breakfast. I snicker and focus back on my delicious breakfast. After I'm finished I walk over to the enormous window and look out over the city. It's a beautiful view.

I don't notice Demetri entering the living room until he steps closer and hugs me from behind. He plants a kiss on my hair and inhales my scent.

"Are you ready, amore mio?"

I nod and he leads me back to the bedroom. I lie down on the bed and Demetri looks me deep into my eyes.

"Remember that I love you. I'm yours and I'll be here when you wake up."

"I love you too, now bite me."

He chuckles when he leans down to my neck. I can feel him kissing my pulse point, right before biting down. I can feel the venom entering my body and the fire starting to rage inside me.

Edward - EPOV

This flight home seems to take forever and I'm getting sick of Alice's thoughts. I don't care how much lovey-dovey visions of Bella she shows me, Bella isn't Demetri's mate. It's all a set-up to get her to join the guard. Alice should know better, she knows that Chelsea can form and break emotional ties.

I'll stop this whole charade, Bella will remain human and when she eventually dies, I'll find another way than asking the Volturi, to end my life. Her soul is so pure, it will not be sacrificed to let her live this damned life. I'll take her away if I have to.

I can see Alice shaking her head at the vision in her head and hear her think. 'You're being a complete moron, Edward. Bella was never meant for you. Why can't you accept that?' I growl, just loud enough for her to hear. The plane lands in Seattle and I get out quickly, Alice only a few feet behind. At the exit, we're greeted by the family. Esme pulls me into a hug, while Jasper runs over to Alice. Carlisle looks behind us and I can see the worry on his face.

"Where's Bella?"

Before I can say anything, Alice states that we need an urgent family meeting, because of what happened in Volterra. I scowl at her but reluctantly agree. This is not something we can discuss at the airport.

When I enter the house I can see that Alice is hellbound on telling the story first, so I let her. I'll make the family see it my way, no matter what Alice thinks. I sit down on the couch and listen to her version.

"As you all know, Bella agreed to help me rescue Edward. She made it very clear before we left that she was doing it for us, even though we abandoned her all those months ago. Edward told her that he didn't love her and that she was just a distraction for us the day he left her. I tried to set the record straight, but Bella refused to listen.

When we arrived in Volterra, I saw that Edward was about to expose himself to the humans and I had Bella running up to him to stop him, knowing he wouldn't be able to hear her coming for him. She got to him in time, but Felix and Demetri were standing close by with orders to bring Edward back to Aro.

When I ran up to them I was struck by a vision. I saw Bella as a vampire, she is walking through a garden and she is happy. I see a man hugging her from behind, kissing her hair, and telling her that he loves her. She smiles at him and tells him she loves him too. The man in my vision is Demetri Volturi. He's Bella's true mate."

The shock on everyone's face is almost hilarious and I start clapping.

"Well done, Alice, what an entertaining story, but there's no way in hell that Demetri is my Bella's mate. Your visions are wrong. She's mine!"

Alice sighs and starts talking again.

"I know my vision of Bella getting killed by Laurent was incomplete. It was incomplete, Edward, it wasn't wrong. This one isn't, it can't be altered by any decision, and it's set. Marcus confirmed their bond. Didn't you see the love in her eyes when she looked at him? Didn't you see the pure adoration in his eyes when he looked at her? Bella will be happier than she ever was with us and even though I'll miss her, I'm glad that she'll be loved like she deserves to be loved."

"Loved?! By that monster? I'm telling you, Chelsea must have altered our bonds, Bella still loves me and I'm going to get her back. Carlisle, please, I need your help."
