⚠️mentions of sexual assault and death⚠️
The whole flight to Italy, Isadora sat on Caius' lap and got butterflies every time her mates looked in her direction.
Caius held her tightly as the plane decended into Italy. As Isadora stepped off the plane, she was hit with the heat of Italy and stumbled backwards into Aro, who was looking over his shoulder to Demitri, who smashed a antique glass.
When Aro walked into Isadora, he instinctively wrapped his arms around her.
"Are you alright Mia amore?" He asked, searching for injuries.
"Im fine, it's just a big tempriture change" she said. Aro smiled and followed her out of the aircraft and into another black car.
Isadora watched out of the windows as the Italian county side zoomed past. Marcus smiled fondly at her curious nature.
The three mates growled as they went flying over a speed bump which had caused Isadora to go flying around the back of the car.
"Easy on the road Santiago" Caius snapped
"Sorry C dog you too little human" Santiago said, making Caius growl
"You will show your Queen and I respect." He snarled.
"Caius, calm yourself" Aro insisted as he looked to Isadora, who was unbothered by the reckless driving.
"Enjoying the view?" Marcus asked his wide eyed mate.
"I've never been out of the states" She shrugged. Marcus couldn't help but grin at her.
Around a half hour later, they were driving under a tunnel and into a garage filled with expensive cars.
"Rosalie would love it in here" was the first thing Isadora said. Aro chuckled and held her hand as they walked into the castle.
Marcus wrapped his cloak around her as they walked. He remembered a few of the human workers telling him how it gets cold in the castle.
The first place they took Isadora was to their private offices, then their private library, which only the kings and now Isadora were allowed to enter. The next place they took her was the throne room. She was in awe at the beauty.
Caius decided that Isadora had been walking too much and picked her up and in a swift motion, put her on his back. Isadora wasn't complaining, she wrapped her arms around him and kissed just under his earlobe. He made a small noise, which made Isadora smile.
"I think I found you weak spot" She giggled as they walked
"It's only fair that I find yours" he smirked as they came to a halt.
"Tesoro. This is our room, only we are allowed in here. That is the one thing we are stern on. We allow people to enter our library, but they don't ever enter our room." Aro spoke with a firm voice, but he still had the loving look on his face.
As Aro opened the door for Isadora she was hit with the masculine smell of her mates and she loved it. She looked around in awe. The room was more than she expected.
Her mates watched as she walked around the room, looking at everything. She loved the room, mainly because it smelled like her mates, but also because it fit them so well.
Caius lead her to the bathroom and she laughed at how big it was.
"So luxurious" she smiled. Caius held her hand with a smile as she walked around
She walked towards Marcus, who was standing beside another door. He opened it up to reveal a large closet. She gasped at the space. It was bigger than her room at home.
"Aro, I think we broke our mate" Marcus said as he watched Isadora look around in shock.
"I never thought anyone could have a bigger closet than Alice and Rosalie until I walked in here" She told them. Marcus chuckled at her then took her hand.
"So mia amore, what would you like to do?" Caius asked her while Aro tucked her hair behind her ear.
"Well what do you usually do?" She asked
"Read, feed, attend trials, meetings oh! Sometimes we play who can annoy Caius the fastest" Marcus suggested. Caius growled lowly at Marcus
"Yes! I won" he said and was tackled by Caius, who wrapped his arms firmly around his mate and kissed his cheek.
"Behave yourself mio re." Caius hissed as Marcus pecked his lips.
Isadora giggled at her mates as Aro's hand rested in hers.
"I am so glad you are here my love." Aro smiled and kissed her head. Isadora blushed heavily and rested her head on his shoulder.
"I am as well. It feels like home here." Isadora said. Aro let out a hum of approval
"That's a good thing. This is your home now mia amore" Aro said and rested his head on hers.
"Why don't we go to the beach?" Marcus suggested as he lay on the floor, his head in Caius' lap as he stroked his hair.
"That sounds like a great idea! How does that sound, cara?" Aro asked as he looked down to her. She smiled and nodded.
"Sounds good to me, but there is a slight issue."
"What?" Caius asked, looking over to her.
"Sunny." she said pointing out of the window
"Disco balls" She pointed to her mates. Aro laughed at her explanation, while Caius glared at her and Marcus just smiled.
"Ti amo mia Regina. Please never change." Aro sighed with a smile.
"I'm glad you find that amusing Aro." Caius mumbled.
"What was that Caius?" Aro asked. Caius sighed angrily and exited the room, making an unsuspecting Marcus's head hit the floor.
"Such a drama king" Marcus sighed.
"Where has he gone?" Isadora questioned.
"Probably to bully the human workers." Aro shrugged
"He'll be in the library." Marcus told her. she nodded and stood from the bed before walking off to find him.
Caius sat scribbling away at a spare piece of paper he found in the library. He was annoyed. If Isadora was any other human, he would have killed her there and then for making such a comment. He was a man that should be feared, not mocked.
Isadora knocked on the door before walking into the library. She found Caius drawing rather aggressively on a piece of paper. She walked over to the desk and sat on it, facing him.
"What do you want?" He asked, clearly annoyed. To any other vampire or human, this would be a warning, but to Isadora, this was her mate being dramatic.
"Caius, you know I was only joking, right?" she asked softly. He looked up at her with a blank face.
"I didn't mean to upset you, love." she said, cupping his face in her hand.
Caius kissed her hand.
"Besides, I love my three disco balls." Isadora smiled. Caius stood up silently and looked into her eyes
"Do not try me, sweetheart." He said lowly, almost a growl, his eyes were now black. Isadora's eyes widened as the other kings came in. They moved forward, but Isadora held a hand up.
"Caius Volturi. Stop that growling right now. I am not one of your human staff and I am not a guard." She said sternly, he was growling now.
"Caius. Stop that." she said, standing her ground. She moved her hand back to his cheek, but he slapped it away and began snarling.
She ignored his slaps and cupped his face.
"Calm down love. I'm not here to anger you. I'm here to talk." she said calmly. he slowly began to calm down.
"That's better love." she said as he lost the black eyes and his ruby red ones were back. He hugged her tightly. Aro and Marcus left them alone for a while.
"Now, tell me what is wrong with you. You have been short tempered all day." she said, stroking his hair as he purred.
"I just need to feed, that's all" he dismissed.
"You sure?" her angelic voice asked. He sighed
"I keep losing control of Donovan." he said. Isadora frowned
"Donovan?" The human girl asked.
"You know how Jasper has The Major?" Caius queried, looking up to her. She nodded as he looked down.
⚠️TW starts here until the end of the chapter⚠️
"Donovan is my Major. My inner beast. He demands respect. So much so that he will attack almost anyone. It's why Marcus and Aro came in here, they were afraid of Donovan. I'm afraid of Donovan." he started
"My father was the leader of our town, a very respected man, but he was far from a good man. Growing up I had always been angry. I watched my father beat my mother to death in front of the town because he believed her to be unfaithful. Athenodora was completely destroyed by our mothers death. Pretty much immediately after our mothers murder, father began to abuse Athenodora, but she never told me, but I knew.
"I had just turned sixteen when my father told me that Athenodora was going to marry a man from Egypt. He was older than our father and merely wanted a young woman to pray upon. Athenodora refused the proposal, insisting that she was in love with another man, his name was Bastian, He was kind to Athenodora, but he was a poor man. My father wasn't happy that Athenodora had embarrassed him in such a way.
"The bastard waited until I was training with the soldiers when he attacked her. This time it wasn't just a beating. Father had raped her. Once again she didn't tell me. One night father believed that I was out with some friends and I heard Athenodora's screams. I walked into her room with my sword and caught him in the act. I finally let all of my rage out. His death was satisfying. Deep down I enjoyed hearing his agonising screams and I enjoyed wearing his blood as I left his body tied to a post in the middle of the town to be eaten by the vultures.
"The town celebrated his death and made me the Captain of the guards. Athenodora married Bastian. Donovan became mad with power and demanded respect. He is like an alter ego. Whenever I lead my men to war, he would come out and kill and torture as many people as possible. Athenodora became frightened of me because I was blood thirsty and full of hatred. She and Bastian ran away to another town, where Aro was. She told him about me and Aro was intrigued. He and Marcus were only just married at the time, Marcus was a Vampire and Aro was still human. She stayed there for years with Aro, Marcus, Didyme and Sulpicia they took her in as their own while I was quenching my thirst for blood, but not in the way Marcus and Aro were. I missed a lot of my sisters life. I missed the pregnancies. I wasn't there when she miscarried all of her children. And I wasn't there when Bastian died.
"When Aro and Marcus found me, Aro was just out of his newborn phase. They told me what they were and that we were mates, I ran away like a coward. I Believed I was a freak because I wanted to peruse a relationship with two men, men that were married. I hid for a few days until Aro found me. The only way he could calm me was by turning me, he stayed with me until I woke and we completed our bond the second I saw him. sadly, Athenodora walked in. She ran off, embarrassed and then Marcus joined us.
"Since then we started the Volturi and Donovan has been calm until he was needed. Now he is back and I am scared to be near you just in case he hurts you. I refuse to let him."
"The anger is overwhelming and it frightens me that when it is out, I enjoy hearing my victims, so i named the beast after my father. Donovan. The thing is, he knows that Aro and Marcus are mated to me, because our bond is complete. He can vaguely since our bond, but he is on edge because he thinks I am playing with my food. It annoys him that he cannot harm you." Caius explained. Isadora held Caius' hand.
"Thank you for telling me, Caius. I cannot imagine what it could've been like" she said in a sad voice. He kissed her cheek
"It's alright my love. I just need to keep myself fed so he can't get out as easy" Caius spoke and looked into her eyes.
"I am so sorry I lost control over a name" Caius said sadly. Isadora kissed his cheek.
"Do not apologise, my love. Donovan is part of you and regardless of whether or not he wants to rip me to shreds I love you. Every part of you." Isadora told him, looking deep into his eyes.
Deep down, Donovan knew that she was theirs and he couldn't help but feel guilty
