"Come on, dear, we'll explain everything to you," Athenodora beamed, wrapping her arm through Luca's before sharing a smile with Didyme. Both women leaded the young man away, the three kings sharing fond smiles and following in their steps.
They soon walked into the library and Luca gaped at the sight. There were thousands of books neatly put in the bookcase, some had a ladder to pick some of the books that were too high. There was a spiral staircase that leaded to a second floor. In the middle of the room were placed tables, chairs and couches for people to sit and enjoy their readings. The queens leaded Luca to one of the couches and took place in front of him besides their husband. Aro sat besides Luca as he picked a book that was laying on the small table.
"I believe some history is in order," Aro debuted. "The Volturi coven was created a few centuries ago, by Caius, Athenodora, Marcus and myself. A century ago, I realised I missed my sister too much and I went back to her," The king shared a smile with Didyme before he continued. "When I turned her and brought her back here, we soon realized her and Marcus were mates," Luca butted in at that term. He remembered Amos calling Anastasia his mate.
"Mates?" He questioned.
"It is quite difficult to explain. A mate bond is a bond shared between two people, sometime more, that binds those people together for life. They have a relationship that is beyond understanding, it is a love bond that is so deep that if one of the people had to die, the other person wouldn't be able to live herself. The hurt and the pain that's cause by their death is beyond the one you felt when you turned," Luca gulped at the sudden memory of his transformation.
"How do you know who your mate is?" The newborn asked, now looking at the mated couples, who both shared a loving glance with their other half.
"As soon as you looked at them, you know," Athenodora started, staring into Caius' eyes. She however broke their eye contact to continue her explanation to Luca, making the blond king grumbled. "Everything of your being tugged you towards that person. She also have a distinguish smell. It is different for everyone, but it smells like home. You feel protected, safe, and you want to hide yourself in their arms for eternity," Caius purred at his wife, hiding his face in the crook of her neck. Luca almost snickered at the intimidating king that let his walls down in the arms of his wife. It was truly adorable and Luca almost longed for his own mate. But the thought quickly left his mind as it wandered to his lovely dead grandmother.
"Amos called Anastasia his mate, but she was human," Luca voiced his interrogation.
"A mate bond can be shared between a vampire and a human, but the human will not feel it as much as the vampire. The human can feel there is something, a kind of attraction or even love, but not at the same level. Two humans can be mated, but they have to become vampires for it to be a real mate bond. They will feel connected, but not as much," Marcus explained.
