As we stopped in front of the doors to the throne room my hands were shaking like leaves on a windy day. All that I could think about was what happens if they don't like me? I am just a weak human living in a castle full of vampires. Why would they possible except me in to their lives?
Before we walk in Marcus turned to me and put his hands on my shoulders. "Mia Amore everything will be fine. They will adore you just as we do. Trust me." He says with a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face.
I close my eyes and take a deep breath to calm myself down and turn back to the doors. Aro was to my left and Marcus was to my right, and they each put a hand to my lower back. I look around to find Caius and before I spot him I feel his hand brush the back of my hair. I turn my head and give him a quick smile which he also returns with one of his own.
As I turn my head back to the doors they start to open and I take in one last deep breath before we walk through the doorway entering the throne room.
Walking into the throne room all I see is about 100 sets of red eyes turn and look straight at me. I know that I shouldn't be afraid, my mates will make sure I am safe. But I can't help it, I stop dead in my tracks about 15 feet from the doors that we had just walked through and start to back up. Before I could take to many steps back I bump into Caius' chest. I have a feeling he is behind me for just that reason. Those sneaky little bastards.
I turn my head around to look at him again and he gives me a reassuring smile and pressed his lips next to my ear. "Mia Isabella we promise no one will hurt you, especially not on our guard." He whispers and pulls away from my ear giving me a reassuring nudge to my back trying to get me to move forward.
'Suck it up Bella. Stop acting like a scared little girl'. I say in my head trying to will myself forward. I let out a breath that I didn't even realize I was holding and started to walk forward again. When we reach the three thrones we stop in front of them and turn to face the guard.
Aro stood tall next to my side. You could see power and authority seeping from every dead cell of his body. As I was observing this display of power he was showing to his guard I couldn't help but notice how sexy he looked at this moment.
After a moment Aro spoke to his guard. "Good morning everyone. Myself and the other masters have called this meeting so we could introduce you to a new member of our family. We would like to introduce you to our anima gemella, and you're Principessa, Isabella Marie Swan."
There where gasps of shock throughout the entire room. Everyone looked between me and my three mates in shock. But once the shock died down I was unprepared for what the guard did next. Without warning they all bowed down to me. I looked over to my mates with shock written all over my face, and they just nodded their heads at me with the biggest smile on their faces.
I wasn't sure how to react to this. I'm not royalty, I am just a small town girl from Forks, Washington. This was all just so surreal. But it was right, I do have to get used to it. So once the guard rose out of their bow I gave them the most brilliant smile I could muster up and waved to them and said. "Hello I hope with in the near future you all will give me the pleasure of getting to know you one on one."
Marcus smiled down on me and looked to the guard. "I should hope that you all realize that if you see Isabella around the castle that you will treat her with the same respect as you do us. She is also to be protected more so then you do with us since she is still human. Just remember that one day she will be your queen, so no harm whatsoever is to come to her." Marcus said with a sense of finality in his voice.
I really don't know how I fell about being a queen. Even though I know it is bound to happen. I mean I am mated to the kings of vampires. I will just have to dissect this thought later.
My mates turned around to their thrones and sat down, Marcus and Caius where on either side of Aro. Aro pulled me in to his lap to sit. As we sat there each of the guard came up to introduce themselves.
From what I could tell the guard was made up of two separate branches. There were the guards that where higher up, that took care of protecting the kings and went on the highest priority missions. I believe the where called the Protezione Superiore. This part of the guard was made up of Jane, Alec, Felix, Demetri, Heidi, Afton, Renata and Chelsea. This group is who I will be spending the most time with.
The Second group takes care of the normal day to day missions. Unfortunately there is so many of them I am unable to remember all their names.
After all the introductions where finished Caius spoke. "We will reconvene in the feeding chamber in thirty minutes. You are all free to leave now."
I shuddered at the thought of what was going to happen in the feeding chamber. But I had to keep repeating to myself that this is my new life now I have to learn to deal with it.
After everyone had left I got off of Aro's lap and turned to my mates.
"I think that went well. Everyone seemed so nice and welcoming." I said
Caius laughed and shook his head. "Didn't we tell you that everything would be ok?"
I smiled at him. "Yes you did."
Marcus walked up to me and wrapped me in his arms. "It is lunch time so we will escort you to the kitchen. We hope you don't mind making your own lunch today we need to feed. The kitchen is completely stocked so you should have no trouble finding something to eat. Once you are done we will have Jane meet you so you can go shopping for yourself." Marcus said while keeping me in his embrace.
I pulled back from his embrace and went over and hug both Aro and Caius. "That's fine with me." With that said my mates escorted me to the kitchen to make my lunch.
As I was finishing up my lunch Jane walked in with Heidi. "You don't mind if Heidi joins us do you?" Jane asks. "Not at all, the more the merrier." I said. It was nice seeing Jane and Heidi out of the guard uniform.
As I reached to grab my plate to wash it, it was already gone. I looked over to the sink to see Jane and Heidi finishing up washing the dishes I made. "In the year that I have been around vampires I still haven't gotten used to the speed. Thank you for doing up the dishes for me that was very kind of you." I said
"It's no problem Isabella we don't mind at all." Heidi said. "If you are ready Alec and Felix are waiting for us in the garage."
"Yeah I'm ready let's go." I started to walk out of the kitchen but realized that Jane and Heidi where not following. "Is everything ok?" I asked.
Jane kind of had a sheepish look on her face. "No everything is fine I was just wondering if you would like me to carry you. It is a very long walk to the garage?" Jane asked
My cheeks started to heat up a little bit. "Oh course Jane, if it is that far of a walk I guess a lift would be fine." Jane reached down and picked me up bridal style. It just seemed weird that a girl smaller then me could pick me up with such ease.
"Hold on tight Isabella." Jane said and then shot off down the hallway. We made left turns and right turns. We took a set of stairs up and a set of stairs down. I felt like I was on an extremely fast roller coaster. And I was having the time of my life, I was laughing so hard tears where falling down my face.
We stopped in a very large garage that held at least 50 different cars. As Jane was setting me down on my feet I couldn't help but notice Jane and Heidi both laughing. "I take it you enjoyed the ride?" Jane asked laughing.
"Hell yeah I did that was fun. We need to do that again." We all started laughing. Along with our laughing I heard two different laughs that were more masculine. I turned around to see Alec and Felix leaning against a beautiful Black Mercedes-Benz.
It was a long drive to Florence but eventually we made it. We pulled up to a strip mall called The Mall, but it was all high end stores. Before we got out of the car Jane handed me a black credit card with my name printed on it. I just looked at it and rolled my eyes.
The first store we went into was Gucci and I had no idea what I was doing. All four of them took off to start shopping. The girls turned around realizing I didn't follow them and came back over to me.
"What's the matter Isabella?" Jane asked me.
"I know this sounds silly but when I was growing up we didn't have much money so I never really did much shopping. And when I met the Cullen's Alice took it upon herself to do all the shopping for me. What I am trying to say is I don't know what the hell I am doing here." I said with my head down and a blush on my face.
"So what you're saying is you are a shopping virgin." Heidi said. I looked up at Jane and Heidi and they had huge mischievous smiles on their faces. I just shook my head yes. "This is going to be so much fun. You are in for a crash course lesson on shopping Volturi style. You ready Professor Jane?"
"Yes I am Professor Heidi." And with that we were off.
5 hours, 10 stores and a credit card that is $40,000 lighter, we were finally done and heading back to the castle. We ended up having to get a lot of it delivered to the castle because there was too much. I ended up falling asleep on the way back, I was just so exhausted from shopping with four vampires that never get tired.
I woke up to the feel of a set of stone arms lifting me up. When I opened my eyes to see who it was I was met with a set of beautiful read eyes that belonged to Aro. I smiled at him and buried my face in the croak of his neck. He smelt so good like new leather and rain. I inhaled deeper trying to absorb his scent.
Without even realizing what I was doing I put my lips to the underside of his jaw and kissed. But no I didn't stop there I kissed along his jaw towards his lips. Once I reached his lips I looked into his eyes and kissed him. His arm that was holding me around my waist tightened slightly as he kissed me back.
This kiss was very sweet. Our lips where still connected when all of a sudden his lips parted and I felt his tongue slide across my bottom lip asking for permission to enter. I didn't even hesitate to open up to him. The moment his tongue entered my mouth I let out a throaty moan, he tasted amazing, almost like peaches. I let Aro dominate the kiss and he did a wonderful job at it. His tongue hit just about every part in my mouth.
Unfortunately the kiss ended to soon due to someone clearing there throat to get our attention. I opened my eyes as we started to pull our lips away from each other but decided to give him one last peck on the lips. The smile that lit up his face could have melted the polar icecaps.
I hadn't even realized he had stopped walking tell I turned around and seen Marcus and Caius standing in front of us with matching grins of excitement on their faces.
"We are sorry to have disturbed you and Aro, Isabella, but we were wondering how your shopping trip went." Caius asked.
