Duchess' POV

Running back through the woods, I was attacked by wolves.

I was covered in blood by the time I got back to the castle.

"Duchess, what happened?" Carlisle asked as soon as he spotted me.

"Nothing." I spoke.

"Then why are you covered in blood?" Everyone asked at the same time.

"Who's to say it mine?" I asked.

"Who's then?" Aro asked.

"Let's just say I said bye to Phil." I spoke rather maliciously.

"Okay." Marcus spoke gently.

"Duchess can I borrow you please?" Carlisle asked.

I nodded and followed him into the rose garden right outside of the castle.

Turning around he started to speak.

"Look, I guarantee there will be tough times, I guarantee that there will be sad times. But I also guarantee that if I don't take you as my own, I'll lose you. Duchess Swan, you are the only one that could ever own my heart, so will you do me the honor of being my wife?" He asked while getting on one knee.

In his hand was a black velvet box, inside was a rose gold engagement ring.

"Sorry Carlisle, but..."

His face was so sad.

"Yes!" I squealed "Of course I'll marry you!"

He stood up and I jumped into his arms. When he put me down, he slipped the ring onto my finger.
