I overreacted, but there was absolutely no way I would let Aro summon that idiot child of Carlisle's change my Mate. She didn't even know who she was to me yet. When the idiot had come to us begging for death, I knew who he was just from the self-righteous stench coming off the idiot in waves. It was apparent who his sire was. Not many had that self-righteous air about them. It was sickening. Carlisle always judged us. All by the standards of his human God. He forgot that some of us were there when his God was Crucified. Did I hold a grudge against the fool? Yes, and I did not care if he knew it.

His God was nothing but the son of a carpenter, who thought he had a few good ideas and able to convince people of that fact. But that is beside the point.

I overreacted, my brother was ecstatic when the young human said yes to joining our guard. As I made my way toward my office to call Carlisle, informing him about the evident return of his children, I moved aside the paperwork that I was still to get too. Once I dialled, I just waited.

"Hello, Dr Cullen speaking." The idiot spoke as he answered the phone.

"Cullen. I'm calling to inform you that your children are on their way back to you from visiting us here in Volterra. It was such a lovely visit. They even left the human they brought with them here for us. Oh by the way she asked me to pass on a message to your lovely wife, Esme, daughter Rosalie and Major Whitlock, are they available?" I asked him with a smile on my face. I loved putting this vampire in his place.

"Caius. Yes. Yes, they are here in the lounge with me." Carlisle answered, sounding a little panicked.

"Good. The young human asked me to tell the three of you – 'thank you, you showed her that people are not all the same and your understanding meant the world to her.' anyway, as I said your children are on there way back to you now. Your firstborn came to us, asking for death. Your daughter brought the human, clearly thinking that she would be able to change this idiots mind. We offered her a place with our guard, and she has accepted. The change will be imminent if any of your children come here looking for death again. After letting us know that you have allowed a human knowledge of our existence and not followed the letter of the law, then you, as coven leader, will be held accountable for the actions of your wards. Am I clear enough, Carlisle?" I asked him.

"Yes, Caius. I understand fully. Thank you for spearing them and sending them home to us." the fool sounded sad to me.

"Your Majesty. I'm sorry to interrupt, but if you would be able to let Bella know she will always have the support of the Whitlock's if she would ever need it. Even if just to talk to a friend." Major Whitlock asked me. He did not sound like the warrior that I had met in battle with Maria.

"I will pass that along for you, Major." I let him know before I hang up the phone. I had felt a pull deep within my chest for a while, it actively lessened over the last couple of hours, leaving altogether when the human walked through the throne room doors. I knew what that meant. I spent a few more minutes just sitting before going back. I heard Aro and Marcus coming this way with the human girl.

"What did Aro say her name was?" I asked myself. I had to think for a second before it came to me. Isabella.

I got up and left my office to make my way back to the throne room where I would undoubtedly meet up with my brothers once they had taken the girl to her destination, as it was nearly time for Heidi to return with our meals.

Once we had finished with our meal, the three of us decided to talk about who would be the one to turn young Isabella. I wasn't sure how I would feel about anyone else turning her.

"I will do it." I offered. Aro and Marcus just smiled.

"I never had a doubt brother, that you would be Isabella's sire," Aro smirked at me. Jane came and let us know that she had taken dinner to the human and that she had made herself busy. Filing of all things. I followed the two of them to where they had placed Isabella. Which so happened to be my office. Jane had been correct Isabella was filing. She was in the process of going through all of the paperwork that I had on my desk. And from the looks of it was nearly finished.

We all waited for her to take notice of us, so we decided to sit down and just wait. Watching her doing this most simple of tasks that I had procrastinated on, was rather oddly satisfying. We all sat just watching her for about three hours. Marcus tried to get her attention a few times without any luck, as did Aro. I just decided to sit and watch her.

Once she finally finished her task and finally noticed that we were all sitting there watching her, she stood abruptly, knocking the chair over in the process.

"Your Majesties. I'm sorry I did not hear you enter." She said, sounding very unsure of herself and looking a little panicked. We all talked for a short while. We were letting her know that we had talked about who was going to be her sire. Then Aro goes and changes things suggesting to her that we could call young Edward Cullen back to be her sire.

"Oh. Well if that is what you think is best." Is all Isabella had to say about the matter.

I do not think so. I could feel my beast coming forward and taking over, letting out an almost feral growl towards my brothers. I picked up my Mate and ran toward the bathroom located in my bedroom. And bit down on her main artery. I was injecting as much of my venom as I could into her system. I had hoped to give her time to adjust to the idea of becoming a vampire. But that was taken away from her. I had decided that for her.

She stayed silent for the entire three days. Aro came and asked me to go out of the bathroom or to at least let Athenodora bring Isabella some clothes to change into so that she would not need to smell her blood on her clothing. I told her to have her bring the clothes and change I would give my permission for Dora to bathe and change her clothes. I didn't mind my sister being close at the moment, but something was telling me to be wary of anything that could happen. So I was. I stayed close and kept listening out for anything that could happen. Once I was able to get back to my Mate and listen to my sister leaving my quarters, I was able to breathe more comfortably. I talked to Isabella about the things I would have loved for her to learn about before she was changed when I heard her heart speed up.

I gingerly moved her to my bed where she would be hopefully more comfortable.

Once I listen to her heartbeat beat it's last; I watched with bated breath.

At first, she just lay there, breathing in her surroundings, smiling when she must have found something pleasant before she even opened her eyes.

She was seeing every single dust particle that was floating around the room.

As she got up off the bed, I noticed that it was with exaggerated slowness, as if she was forcing herself to be this way.

"You can move faster if you want too," I said to her. Seeing her beautiful red eyes look upon me for the first time.

"Your Majesty. Yes, I am aware. Thank you." Isabella said as she just stood there looking me over.

"Are you thirsty?" I asked. I was hoping that she wouldn't want to follow the bunny diet.

"Now you mention it, yes, actually I am." Isabella smiled.

"How would you like to hunt my dear?" I asked her.

"Would it be too much to ask to be able to hunt criminals?" Isabella asked shyly. I couldn't help my smile.

Asking her to wait but a minute, she nodded, and I went to change into something more casual, so I could teach my new Mate to hunt. Taking her hand, I lead her out of the castle and toward Pisa, where she would be able to have her fill.

We found a handful of criminals in a particularly seedy area of the town, grabbing one of the men. I showed her how to feed and where to place her teeth, letting her also know that she could not leave him alive, as she was much too young to become a sire herself.

She just hung her head as if my words hurt her. As I was about to ask if she was alright; she looked up at me and sneered. Before I could discover what was going on, she ran from me.

It took nearly two hours to find her; just when I thought I had, she ran once again. By the time I was able to catch up to her. Isabella was on laying on the ground, curled up, clutching her chest.

"You're in pain; I can help if you would let me. I know what it feels like to be in pain like that; please let me help you." I asked her softly.

"Please," Isabella said I could hardly hear her; she was so quiet. I walked up to her and picked her up, before sitting and placing her on my lap.

"The pain you are feeling is from a pull; it feels like your heart is getting pulled out of your chest, it's gone now though isn't it?" I asked her as I ran my fingers through her hair. I felt her nod.

"Do you understand why that is?" I asked. She never answered me.

"It is because of the pull towards one's Mate. I never got the chance to tell you, my dear. I am your Mate. I have been feeling the pull towards you for a while now; I figured that it was you when the pain of the pull left when you walked in the throne room. Now, how about we get you well feed and back home so that we can talk and get you settled down." I asked her. I hoped that it would have an acceptable response, but she just broke down crying—dry sobbing into my chest.

I picked her up and made for home. Ready to find out what has upset my Mate so much.

As I made my way into my quarters with my Mate in my arms, still very upset. Aro came and asked to see me when I had a moment. Isabella asked it if it was okay if she went to shower and get cleaned up, showing her into the bathroom I turned on the shower for her and let her know just to leave it going. I would come and turn it off once Isabella had finished, showing her where the towels were so that she could get one once completed. As well as where some clothes were that she could change into before I went to see what it was that my brother wanted.

"Caius, I wanted to talk to you about Isabella, you will need to gentle with her, there are things from her human life that she will see morn, young Edward Cullen made the mistake of using this particular item against her when they broke up. If you can get her to tell you, that would be better; I received information that Major Whitlock is on his way here with Captain and Lieutenant, they have requested to came and be of assistance you with your Mate. It seems that the Captain knew her significance already." Aro said to me; this had me somewhat confounded. What could it be that would cause my Mate such sadness at such a tender age? I went to my office and picked my laptop before returning to my bedroom and waited to hear Isabella exit the shower. While waiting, I searched up anything that I could find about my Mate. I would, of course, wait for her to tell me, but I wanted to get prepared.

What I found had me wanting to leave and find her ex and make sure that he would never again get seen.

"You know, don't you?" I looked up and saw Isabella standing in front of me.

"What is it that you think I know?" I asked, attempting to smile at her.

"Not many have that look on their face unless they have found out what happened. I've seen it before. So why don't you tell me what you know? I'll try and fill you in on the rest." Isabella said, and she sat in front of me, for the first time I noticed that she had dressed and the shower already off.

"I'm used to being gentle around things. I figured it out." Isabella said to me. I just nodded.

"Aro let me know that you would be in mourning, but not the why, he also told me the Major and his Captain and Lieutenant are on their way to help you. I'm sorry, but I wanted to be prepared for when you told me what has you saddened." I said to her.

"It's okay. I don't know who that is sorry. But as you found out, my ex-boyfriend raped me, what the report didn't say, was that it resulted in pregnancy, I have a three-year-old daughter. My mother; who meant to be helping me look after her; decided to ship me off to Forks to live with my father. Leave my daughter with her. After a while, I went to a baseball game with the Cullen's; and that ended up with me getting placed in the hospital; my mom came and told me that she didn't think that I gave a damn about my daughter. Not long after that, on my birthday, which happens to be my daughter's birthday as well, I got adoption papers from my mother, she had sited that I was an unfit mother who had abandoned my daughter and was not providing for her." Isabella told me. I couldn't believe it; she was already a mother; at such a young age, the only thing that went through my mind at that moment was that I wanted to meet her.

"Did you have any photographs on you of her when you arrived here?" I asked her. She smiled seconds before a look of panic crossed her face as she patted herself down.

"If you're looking for your belongings they are right here," I said to her as I grabbed her purse off my nightstand, the smile that I received made that moment. I hoped to have many more.

She opened her purse slowly, trying to be a gentle as could be before she turned it around and showed me a picture of a beautiful little girl in her arms.

"This is Olivia Cassandra Swan. I never gave her father's surname, when I told him that I was pregnant, I ended up back in the hospital, he beat me in an attempt to get me to miscarry. It didn't work, and he ended up in jail. Dead six months later. He got stabbed while in prison, he was celebrating what he had done to me. When you told me, what you did about not wanting to be a sire at my age, I didn't expect to be so hurt by it; I got to thinking about what you would think if you knew I was already a mom. But I guess it doesn't matter now anyway." Isabella said to me as she got up from the bed. I grabbed her and once again just held her.

"I would love to meet her. If it were possible, I would have loved to have raised her with you." I told her quietly.

"Thank you," Isabella replied, wrapping her arms around my waist.

We talked for hours after that, until a knock on my door interrupted us. I got up and opened the door, on the other side was a woman I had never met. Before I could ask her name, she was on the ground, and Isabella was growling from behind me. I wasn't exactly sure what was going on.

"Hey Bella, Calm down darlin' Aro told us we could come and say hi to you, this is Charlotte, behind me is Peter, he's just going to stay out of your sight for a second, do you remember me darlin'?" Major Whitlock asked as he came around the corner so that she would see him.

"Jasper? Hi, what are you doing here? Who are they exactly? And why is that woman, getting friendly?" Isabella sneered as she grabbed my arm and pulled me behind her. She was seeing this woman as a threat. I just raised my eyebrows at her actions. Both the Major and I smirked, both of us knew what she was doing.

"Darlin', this is my sister, Charlotte, she is Peter's Mate and wife, she's not interested in your Mate darlin' she was just excited about meetin' you. That all. Can you put her down?" Major Whitlock asked Isabella.

"I don't know how." She said, starting to panic a little.

"I think now's the time, Major," I heard another male say. I could only assume that it was the Captain. The Major just looked behind him, asking to give Bella a chance to do this on her own.

Isabella tried to release the woman, Charlotte, instead, Isabella nearly crushed the woman.

"Fine Pete, can't seem to get through to her anyways." the major said looking a little disgruntled. The Major got given a phone then, placing the caller on speaker.

"Hey there, Mrs Dwyer? Its Jasper Hale here, I met you a couple of days ago. How's everything going?" the Major said into the device.

"Hi there, yeah everything is great. Were your brother and sister able to home safely?" The woman, on the other end, asked.

"Yeah they did, they wanted to thank you so much they have never been happier. But I just had to ask, why was the Chief not to know about the transaction?" the Major asked, asking if we could make our way into my office. I just nodded. In Isabella's confusion, she had let the woman down from her place on the wall.

"Do you think to tell a cop that you sold his granddaughter would have gone down well?" The woman asked. I looked over at Isabella Just as she ran out the door. As I went to take off after her, the Mayor stood in front of me.

"Fair enough, alright Mrs Dwyer, you have a relaxing holiday in Mexico. Bye." the Major hung up before the woman could speed.

"Just listen. Please." the Major said. I did as I walked out the door.

There stood my Mate, staring at who I could only assume to be the Captain who was holding a babe — Isabella's.

"She is not your child, put her down and step back," Isabella growled. She was drawing the attention of my brothers as well as their Mates.

I heard my sisters gasp when they saw the child is the Captains arms.

"Do it, Pete." The woman Charlotte said with a smile.

As he placed the child down Isabella crouched and extended her arms, but never once had she taken her eyes off the Captain. The child instantly ran to Isabella and started crying.

The Captain backed up with palms raised, as Isabella backed up towards me, slowly.

When I was in front of Isabella; She slammed the bedroom and office doors. She was barricading herself in the room.

"Brother, what is going on?" Aro asked me.

"I suggest you talk with the Major, I need to be with my Mate right now," I said as I announced myself as I opened the door.

Isabella was sitting on my bed playing with the child.

"Isabella, would you care to introduce me to this beauty?" I asked,

"Why do you call me that? I would prefer Bella if that's okay. And this is Olivia, my daughter. Caius, I want them killed. They brought my baby. I want them killed. I want Renee and Phil killed too for selling her so that they could go on holiday." Isabella said. I considered it.

"Okay, how about Isa instead? We should talk to the Major first, discover what is going on before we go and kill anyone. Not that I would not do so for you. It's just I think there is more to this than what we know. Would this be acceptable?" I asked her. She looked down at the child and nodded.

"Did you mean what you said?" Isa asked softly. "Yes. if you will let me." I replied, stepped a little closer.

"Then meet your daughter, Olivia. Livi meet your new daddy." Isa smiled at both of us. I grabbed both of them, holding them as tight as I dear.

"Well, we should probably introduce her to her Aunts and Uncles. What do you think?" I asked. Isa just nodded.

I could hear them all still in my office. I let Isa know this. She was still slightly angry that someone dared purchase her daughter, but I hoped that she would be willing to listen.

I couldn't blame her for her anger. She handed me my Olivia, saying that she wanted to have her hands free in case she needed to kill anyone. I just rolled my eyes, not that I doubted that she would if need be, I just didn't think she would if we heard the full story. Before I opened the door, she grabs my face and kisses me — our first kiss. Not even a full second later, I heard laughter coming from my office. I just looked down at my Mate, pulling her to me and kissing her, before she pulled away from me, saying that we needed to find out why the vampires in the next room shouldn't get burned in our fireplace.

"Alright then, let get everything sorted then shall we," I said, attempting to remove the smile that had plastered on my face.
