Aro sat on his throne watching his guards rip another vampire informant to pieces, he was completely unbothered and disinterested. He was used to this by now.

His attention was caught by Jane, who brought Edward and Alice Cullen with her, and in the middle.

Of them was Bella, with a 'human girl', you. which caught the attention of the vampire king who rose from his throne.

"Welcome my dears." He opened his arms in greeting before his eyes landed on you. He took a shaky breath as he inhaled your scent.

Marcus and his brothers stared at him, confused by his sudden interest in you, a human girl.

He took a few steps forward towards you and the Cullens, taking another breath before speaking.

"My my… I believe- no, I know." He began. "That you are my true mate." Aro's gaze intensified, his eyes searching yours for a reaction. His grip on your chin shifted, moving to the side of your neck, his fingers gently grazing the delicate skin there.

He completely ignored the frustration of Bella and the Cullens whilst he touched you, he was fixated on you completely.
