POV

Aro sat in a plush, crimson red armchair in his office, his crimson red eyes staring at nothing in particular. He rubbing his right hand's fingers together. His left hand stroking the arm, lazily.

It was the third day. Bella was supposed to wake up today. Aro was anxious. His mind replaying the way he had pounced on Bella. Surely, Bella tasted amazing but he still hadn't asked her about her agreement.

Two light knocks echoed through Aro's office. "Come in," Aro's croaky, dead voice echoed through the silent room. The creaking of the door was followed by heels clacking against the wooden floor.

"We have organized everything. The only thing is-" Aro stopped Jane by a raised hand. "You can leave now. Inform me when Bella wakes up," Aro ordered. Jane nodded and went out of the room.

The clacking of Jane's heels faded off after few seconds. Aro was, yet again, surrounded by haunting silence. Aro sat like that until another knock was heard. "Come in," Aro said, sounded bored.

The door creaked and followed by it was the sound of leather shoes slapping against the floor. "Aro, there are matters which should be discussed," Marcus' voice boomed in the silent room.

"Later," he replied, his voice showing no interest in anything. "It is important, Aro," Marcus insisted. "Nothing is more important than my mate," Aro replied. "Unfortunately, there is something more important than your mate. That is, our duty to our kind."

Aro rolled his crimson eyes and stood up. His aura becoming dangerous as he strided his way to Marcus; but Marcus wasn't afraid. He knew that Bella means a lot to Aro and he will rip off every single person's head if Bella is in danger.

Aro extended his hand, staring intensely at his 'brother'. Marcus placed his wrinkled yet smooth hand on the extended hand, letting Aro look into his mind. Aro's eyes widened as he took in the information.

Before Aro could say anything but a knock echoed around the room. Both the Volturi kings looked at the door. "Come in," Aro's voice boomed in the room. The door opened and Aro's eyes found Jane standing there.

"She has waken up," Aro only needed this one particular sentence to be out of the room and rushing through the corridors of the castle. Jane and Marcus followed the king as he passed the Secretary.

Aro threw opened the big doors to his chambers. Jane and Marcus were surprised by the fact that the doors were still on their hinges. Aro walked into his living room, his eyes immediately trying to find Bella.

"She is upstairs, feeding," Jane informed the impatient king. Aro nodded to himself and walked upstairs, entering his bed chambers.

There stood she. The person Aro wanted to see. Her back turned to him, crouching down while her pale hands gripped her first victim's grey dress. Her long and straight, dark brown strands surrounding herself.

"Mio amore," Aro called. His voice soft, filled with admiration and love. The newborn vampire was quick to stand up, turning around to gaze at her mate, while Aro admired her escalated features.

Her flawless face, pale as the moon with crimson red eyes sparkling in the light. Her pale skin contrasting against the black, off-shoulder dress; like the moon against the dark night sky.
