Chapter 5,

Aro's POV,

I'm sat here day in day out doing the same mundane tasks of being a king of the vampire race. I was bored! Bored of the idiotic vampires who came here asking for help with their stupid issues I have no need to involve myself in. My mind drifting back to when that foolish child Edward Cullen entered the throne room demanding he be killed because he believed his mate was dead.

Marcus told me he had no mate, his power is to see the lines connecting people together, such as mate bonds and Edward Cullen had no such bond, I knew he was just obsessed with the poor female. Until I read his mind and found out that his obsession was due to her blood singing to him, and her mind being silent. I also recognised the young lady as a direct descendant of my family, see when I was human I had children, who had children and so on.

When I saw her in his mind I knew this is the young female my seer had seen all those years ago, I am so glad I sent Jasper to watch over her for me. When she walked into the throne room to save his pathetic ass I wanted nothing more then to beat his head into the floor, and drag her away from him but Marcus warned me that if I did that I would kill her because of how much thrall he had used on her.

If he thought telling me that would calm me down he had another thing coming, yet I let them go none the less. I really hope that she gets away from that child soon or I would have him killed. I was bought out of my thoughts by my personal cell phone ringing, I answered on the second ring after checking the caller id telling me it was Jasper.

"Hello Jasper what can I do for you?"

"Aro, I have Bella here with me, I have told her about her being your granddaughter. She has also realised that Edward is not her mate. She has chosen a wolf from the reservation, I am going to pass you over now"

To say I was happy about her finally finding out about that fake vampire not being her mate was an understatement I was over the moon until I found out she bad chosen a wolf. This would have to be discussed Caius absolutely loathed wolves he spent a great millennia killing them off. I was cut off from thinking when I heard her voice over the phone.

"Hello"

"Ah Isabella, how lovely to hear your voice my dear."

I heard her take a deep breath,

"Uh ok, so does this mean I'm going to die now because I'm not with Edward?"

This had me chuckling, of course she would think that I bet the cullens had told her how ruthless the Volturi were, of course we can be but not all the time.

"My dear, I know you have probably heard much about me and the Volturi, I can promise you not all of it is true. While we can be ruthless when the time calls for it this is not that time.

I let you leave Voltera and live not because that seer told me you would be a vampire but because you are my family. My blood runs through your veins that may not mean much to you right now but to me it means everything. I will not kill you or yours, although we will be discussing your mate being a wolf.

For right now lets just focus in getting to know one another, is that ok with you?"

I heard her take a breath, which I knew was her releasing the fear she had built up.

"Edward told me you would kill me without remorse. But I should of guessed he was lying to me as he always did. My mate being a wolf is a choice, I fell in love with Jacob because of who he is and how he lets me be. And to be fair he can't be a real wolf as your thinking as he can change at will.

Anyway I can ask Jasper to give you my cell number so we can stay in contact and get to know each other that way. Maybe one day I can visit you in Italy away from the castle"

This had me chuckling, she certainly is from my blood, I ramble alot.

"Ok my dear i shall leave the wolf alone. Jasper will stay close to make sure Mr Cullen really will leave you alone. I shall go at your speed regarding our relationship. But for now I must go I am being called to the throne room. Stay well my dear"

"Bye Aro"

With that I hung up the phone, I shall call Jasper later for a more in depth discussion about Carlisle and his idiot child.

Bella's POV,

Wow that was an interesting conversation. I gave Jasper his phone back with a small smile on my face. I didn't really know what to say to that, cause let's face it his a vampire and I'm with the wolf pack.

I looked up to Jasper smiling at him,

"You don't have to be here you know. Now your not under the pixies thumb you can go find your family. I'm sure Peter and Charlotte would like to see you and you don't have to worry about my safety cause the wolves would never let anything happen to me"

He smiled at me while nodding his head

"I'm sure they wouldn't sweetheart, but you see I want to stay around not cause I have orders to do so but because I have actually come to see you as my little sister. So you see I don't want to leave, I'm sure Peter and Charlotte would love to see me but they also understand that right now I don't want to leave.

And I can always travel to Seattle to see them so it's nothing to worry about."

I smiled at Jasper because as much as I didn't want to be involved with Vampire's anymore I knew he would stay regardless of what I said and I knew that Aro would be in my life whether I liked it or not.

"ok well we're gonna go back to the beach and finish our picnic, it was nice seeing you Jasper and thank you for protecting me from Ego Emo and the Psychotic Pixie."

He smiled at me,

"Your welcome Darlin, just remember your worth it sweetheart I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to be. Even with Aro ordering me to do so. I'll leave you to your day but ring me if you need me"

With that he left, I felt Jacobs arms around me, so I turned my head to smile at him. He looked down at me with so much love in his face it took my breath away. I leaned up on my tip toes and placed my lips against his softly.

Before we could get carried away someone cleared their throat, I pulled away from Jacob to look over to Paul who cleared his throat. I was expecting my normal reaction of reddened cheeks, but thankfully this never happened so I raised my eyebrow in question.

"Jesus hells Bells you got the king vamp on speed dial, remind me to not piss you off"

With that I burst out laughing, not just because of what he said but the way he said it and his face while saying it. I knew being part of the pack would be different than being a member of the Cullen family, but I also knew I was going to be a lot happier here with the pack, because they didn't treat me like I was inferior they treated me like I was equal to them.

I was bought out of my happy bubble by Sam,

"Ok guys let's get back to the beach, I'm sure Emily and Kim are anxious to see what's going on."

With that Jacob pulled me onto his back, piggy back style and off we went. This gave me chance to think about the conversation I just had with Aro, I had always thought he would be ruthless and kill without reason just for the fun of it but then this is what Edward had told me. This had me thinking about whether Edward knew about Aro being related to me, he must of heard it in Aro's mind when we were there.

I knew Edward would do whatever he wanted to protect me or think he was protecting me, the way I saw it was literally this he lied to me in his own warped mind this was him protecting me, because in his time women were nothing more than glorified housewives and couldn't handle much. I knew Jacob would never treat me this way, he would never keep things from me even if he knew they would hurt me.

There was so much I didn't know about Edward and I was only grasping this now, how closed off he kept himself how whenever we talked it was all about me never about him. He kept so much from me that he ended up making decisions for me because I didn't know how truly wrong things were or how dangerous. Like the whole me becoming a vampire, did I really want that or was that something he put into my mind? I could never decide truly on becoming one because I didn't truly know what it meant to be one.

I wonder how much Carlisle truly knew about Edward using his abilities against me, or if he truly cared either way as long as the golden child was happy I suppose Carlisle didn't care.

Then I remembered all the times Rosalie had spoken to me with the bitchy attitude and how she kept telling me to think for myself, it hit me then what Rose truly did for me. She kept telling me to think not because she thought I was making the wrong choices but because she knew I was being thralled and the only way to beat the thrall is to think for yourself push through it.

I hope I would get to see her again just to say thank you, I would never want any of the Cullen's in my life again but to say thank you to her would mean everything.

Before I knew it, I was being put onto the ground, and I felt hands cupping my cheeks. I looked into Jacobs eyes and knew no matter what I would be happy from this moment on.

"What has you thinking so hard there baby?"

I smiled softly at him leaning into his hands,

"Just thinking about how happy I am right now in this moment. And how from this moment on I'm always going to be happy because I'll be with you"

He had so much happiness in his eyes when I said that, he leaned down and pressed his lips against mine softly. I sighed in happiness this is where I belong.

We pulled apart, grabbed his hand and laced our fingers together we walked down the beach to catch up to the rest. When we got there Emily was handing out food and drinks to the guys while Sam told her and Kim what had happened. Me I pulled Jacob down to our towel pushed him down and sat between his legs, he wrapped his arms around me and held me tight to his chest. I could hear laughing coming from the ocean so I looked to see Embry tackle Quil and push him under this had me laughing along with the rest of the guys.

This right here is our happy and no one can take this from us no one can pull us apart. I knew all who tried would either get squished like a bug or die by the packs hands.

Bring on tomorrow and school, maybe I should get Jacob to take me on his bike now that would start the gossip girls.

AN,
