When Isadora awoke the next day, curled up in between all of her mates, she smiled. Beneath her was Aro, on her left was Marcus and on her right was Caius. The three were purring happily as she opened her eyes.
"Good morning." She smiled to Aro, who's arms here wrapped around her.
"Good morning, my beauty" he said and placed a tender kiss on her lips. She blushed and hid her face in his neck.
"Come on now, mia bella." Aro chuckled as Caius and Marcus smiled. Marcus pulled her gently towards him. She smiled and hugged him. As he happily accepted the hug, knowing that today would be hard for Isadora especially, this was proven with her quietness
Normally with a mating bond, it hurts when one is away from another, but in their situation, if three leaves one, the one left alone hurts more as they tend to feel neglected and unwanted. Marcus resented that his Isadora would be feeling these thing.
"Ti amo mi amore" Marcus said and kissed her head.
"I love you too." She said softly. Caius came over and scooped her into his arms.
"I love you so much La mia bambola." She smiled and kissed him softly. She noticed that his eyes were no longer red, but pitch black. He held her tighter and kissed her once again, but this time it was passionate and lustful. Marcus and Aro were very similar to Caius. Their eyes full of hunger, but not for blood.
Isadora pulled away taking in a few breaths as Caius sat on the bed so she was straddling him. Once she had caught her breath, he connected their lips once again. Caius' tongue fought her for dominance and let out a lustful growl as he won. She smiled into the kiss before Aro stole her from Caius.
"He is getting so worked up." He said before kissing Isadora in the same manner Caius had mere seconds ago. Isadora once again smiled as Aro held her in his arms as his tongue explored her mouth. He held her hips as he continued to kiss her. As he pulled away to allow her to breath, Marcus took his chance and took Isadora into his arms and claimed her lips.
Isadora had accepted that her mates seemed to have dominance over her, though she had noticed that Caius was more submissive than Aro or Marcus.
Marcus chuckled as Isadora's arms went around his neck.
When she pulled away for a breath, a blush made its way to her face and she hid her face in Marcus' neck.
"Don't hide your beautiful face from us, mia piccola colomba (my little dove)" Aro said from across the room. Isadora smiled and kissed their cheeks before going to shower and change.
The kings were in a strange mood. They were so happy to be with their mate, but were so torn up about leaving her to go home.
When Isadora came out of the bathroom, Aro swooped her into his arms and held her hand as they sat in an embrace.
Marcus and Caius were talking in a language that Isadora didn't understand, so Aro would translate for her.
Every now and again Aro would chuckle at Isadora's thoughts, especially when the image of Caius looking like Lord Farquaad came into her head.
"I'm going to miss your hugs so much mia amore." Aro said with a sad sigh that made Isadora snuggle close to him.
"I'm gonna miss giving you hugs." Isadora replied. As Marcus stood up and sped out of the house. Aro smiled, knowing what he was getting.
By the time Marcus came back, Caius had Isadora leaning on him as Marcus entered the room holding a box with holes in it.
"I know what you are going to say, but we feel awful that we are going to miss your birthday, so we want you to have an early birthday present." Marcus said, placing the box on her lap
"What is it?" She asked as the kings smiled.
"Open it and find out." Caius chuckled.
Carefully, Isadora opened the box and gasped in surprise.
There was a cute grey kitten sleeping on a knitted blanket.
"Thank you so much!" She smiled. Marcus chuckled.
"It's a boy." He told her. She smiled at him
"Does he have a name?" She asked
"No you get to name him, Tesoro" Aro smiled
"Milo. He is Milo."
The kings smiled as the kitten opened its eyes and stared up at Isadora. She carefully picked him up and stroked him. The kitten purred as she stroked his head.
Caius sad beside Isadora and went to stroke Milo, but he hissed at Caius and tried to scratch him.
"That cat is a demon."
"Don't be so rude. He is a sweetheart, he just doesn't like you." Isadora said as Marcus stroked the kitten.
"Isadora is right. He is a cute cat." Aro spoke as Marcus chuckled.
"Make sure your family doesn't drain it dry." Caius said bitterly
"They won't." Isadora replied as Milo opened his eyes and meowed at her.
"Hello Milo." she smiled at her kitten.
"I think he likes you, mia cara." Aro said as the kitten purred at her.
"I think he does." The human beamed as Caius sat beside her. Well, tried to. Milo hissed at him.
"He doesn't like you Caius." Isadora said as their mates laughed at Caius being rejected by a cat
"I can see that my love." Caius said grumpily
Isadora giggled
"He probably thinks that you are an evil man who wants to kill the human race." Isadora replied with a straight face. Caius chuckled and picked Isadora up bridal style and ran out of the house with her. He took her to a meadow and placed her on the ground.
"No, I am a man who wants to kiss my beautiful mate." He said before pressing his lips to hers. She squealed in surprise, but melted into the kiss. It wasn't as heated as earlier, this was just a loving kiss.
"You brought me all the way here to kiss me?"
"They don't call me the king of drama for no reason mia amore" he chuckled
"My drama king" she giggled. Caius smiled and held her in his arms, resting his chin at the top of her head.
"I wish you were coming with us." He murmured, but Isadora heard him. She looked up at him.
"I do as well, but I need to stay here and finish school, then I'll be in Volterra. In less than a year." She said, cupping his face in her hand.
He kissed her nose.
"That is still a long time." He grumbled. Isadora kissed his nose, copying his actions.
"And during that time we will speak everyday and Aro mentioned coming to visit any time you want." She smiled. Caius grumbled and finally let out a smile before taking them both back to her house.
Getting back, Isadora seen the Kings luggage by the door. She smiled sadly, but put on a brave face for her kings.
Upon seeing his owner, Milo ran over and jumped into her arms. She caught him and kissed his head.
When Milo seen Caius, he hissed angrily. Isadora looked shocked, this cat really hated Caius
"It's alright tesoro I love you." Marcus said, wrapping his arms around Caius. This made Caius grin happily. Marcus and Caius looked to their two other mates and looked at them expectantly. Aro raced over and Isadora placed Milo down and walked over to them and hugged them.
"You all are so warm, considering you are supposed to be ice cold." Isadora said, enjoying her three mates purrs.
Aro and Caius chuckled as Marcus kissed her head.
Their moment was interrupted by a knock at the door. Caius growled, causing Milo to hiss at him. Caius hissed back at the kitten, making Isadora giggle.
Caius pulled the door open so hard it almost came off it's hinges.
"What do you want?" He demanded at Santiago.
"Yo, calm down dude. Cars here to take yall back to ancient Volterra" Santiago said with his hands up in surrender. Caius rolled his eyes as Aro gave him a warning look.
"Thank you Santiago, we will be down in a moment." Marcus said. Santiago bowed and went away.
Aro held Isadora's chin in his hand and kissed her lips. When he pulled away he removed his Volturi crest.
"Here. I want you to keep this until you get your own. If you are ever in danger with a vampire, show them this and tell them that you are the future Queen of Volterra and any form of assault towards you is treasonous and will result in their death." Aro said, putting it over her head
"Until you get your own, I ask that you never take it off." He requested. Isadora felt completely honoured that Aro was trusting her with his crest. Not knowing what to say, she smiled and nodded then kissed his cheek.
Isadora sighed, remembering that their car was waiting to take them from her.
"Come on, I'll walk yous out." She said as they grabbed their luggage.
Isadora stood beside Emmett and Jasper as the kings stood in front of them, saying goodbye to Athenodora who was staying in Forks to be with Edward.
"Carlisle my old friend, thank you for your hospitality." Aro started, smiling at Carlisle before turning his gaze to Isadora
"This trip has truly changed our lives. So much so that it hurts to leave." He said, his gaze soft upon Isadora. He wrapped his arms around her when he seen tears in her eyes and her lip tremble.
"Oh mia amore." He chuckled and kissed her hairline while Marcus and Caius came over and held her as well.
"Il mia bella fiore. Non piangere queste lacrime. Mi addolora vederti versare lacrime. Per favore non piangere. (My beautiful flower. Don't cry these tears. It pains me to see you shed tears. Please don't cry.) You will see us again in a few weeks." Marcus spoke softly. She hugged them all individually before they kissed her gently. Aro held her in his arms as he spoke to the guards.
"Santiago, Demitri, Felix. We trust you to protect your Queen. If I find out my mate has sustained any sort of injury, I will personally rip your head from your body and throw you in the fireplace." He threatened with a snarl, quiet enough that Isadora couldn't hear what he said.
The guards nodded and bowed to their kings. Jasper walked to the kings and gently pulled Isadora into his arms. She smiled softly at her lovers as they got into their black SUV and departed.
They haven't even left the property yet and Isadora wanted nothing more than to run after them. She missed them already.
