Chapter 3
Bella POV
I followed Aro out of the throne room and down a long corridor to a set of double doors. "This is my private office. We can talk freely in here." Aro said and I followed him inside. "Please sit anywhere you like."
I walked over and sat on one of the couches in the sitting area. Aro followed and sat beside me, taking my hands in his. "What happens now?" I asked him.
"Now? Now we need to talk. What do you know of mine and my brothers' powers?" He asked me.
I sighed. "I know that your power is similar to Edward's only different. You can read every thought a person has had just by touching their hand." I said.
"Yes. Well everyone except yours." He said.
"Right."
"And Marcus?" Aro asked me.
"I believe that he can see the relationships between people." I said.
Aro nodded. "Yes. It's kind of like reading auras. Let me ask you this… do you believe yourself to be Edward's mate?" He asked me.
I thought about it for a minute before I answered him. "No I do not believe that I am Edward's mate. If I was then I don't think that he would have been able to leave me like he did. I'm just his singer." I said.
He nodded. "Your correct. When Marcus had me read him, he showed me something. The lines between the two of us were that of mates." Aro said.
I couldn't believe it. Aro was my mate. "Your my mate?" I asked him.
"That I am. Normally the punishment for Edward's crimes would be for me to kill you. However, since your my mate…I can't do that. So you will be changed." Aro told me.
I gently squeezed his hands. "I understand. When will I be changed?" I asked.
He tucked a piece of hair behind my ear. "I'm not sure. I want you to get to know me and I you." He said.
"Sounds perfect."
