HE HAD ALWAYS BEEN PROTECTIVE OF YOU.

from the time the two of you met and began travelling together, caius was a loving and attentive partner. he always made sure you were safe, even when you both joined the volturi. in fact, he became more protective of you when you joined the volturi. he trusted marcus and aro, but some of the others . . .

demetri had been subtly chasing you for centuries, and caius was half sure demetri was only being so subtle about the whole thing to make him look insane. so, caius often kept you close, an attentive eye on you whenever he could spare it. while the other wives were often kept secluded, you were actually allowed to roam.

so, when aro called the entire volturi to come witness the cullens' indiscretion with the immortal child, you were brought along without question. striding through the snow with the other wives, caius would occasionally steal a glance or two behind toward you, to make sure you were alright. and when the confrontation ended in stalemate, with the volturi forced to concede the cullens had broken no law and renesmee posed no threat as of yet, the first thing caius did was walk toward you, taking long and fast strides before pulling you close to him and pressing his forehead to yours. "{{user}}, beloved. their mind tricks have not ensnared you, correct? i will kill them all if they have." he said softly, gently taking your hand in his.
