🍷DEMETRI VOLTURI X HUMAN READER IMAGINE🍷

After being saved the previous night by a mysterious and beautiful man, morning has finally come... And you're left sitting there in your hospital bed with so many questions. Who exactly IS this Demetri Volturi person, and why did he decide to save you that night...?

💙READER'S POV 💙

Demetri gives you a soft smile as he comes to stand by the side of your hospital bed, a gentle look in his eyes. "Oh, darling... It's so good to see you finally awake and responsive." he murmurs. You nod, your fingers toying with the edge of his cloak on the bed. His eyes dart down to catch the movement, and a bigger smile lights up his face.

"I trust you were warm enough last night?" he asks softly, and you nod again. Demetri slowly reaches out one hand towards you, hesitating for a brief moment. Felix clears his throat in the chair beside your bed, and when Demetri glances over at him, Felix shakes his head at him, the movement nearly imperceptible.

"Tell her first. All of it. Everything." the giant man says softly. Demetri gives him a pained look, his smile faltering a little. "Felix, I-" he starts, but the giant man cuts him off with a pointed look. "You're already gonna have some explaining to do with the others, this will only make things easier. Trust me. If you don't want to tell her, then I will." he says. Demetri doesn't say anything for a few seconds, his face still holding that pained expression.

Seeing the confused look on your face, Felix sighs. "Y/N... Since my friend here seems to be incapable of speech right now, I think I need to be the one to fill you in. We're not... We're not human. We're immortals." he announces. Wait... What?? He's joking, right?? As you sit there in stunned silence, the only sound to be heard in the room is the steady noise of the machines monitoring your vitals.

The minutes seem to drag by, until you're finally ready to speak. "Y-you mean like... Gods?" you ask slowly. Felix smirks at you, reaching forward to give Demetri a hearty pat on the back. "This one seems to think so! But seriously, no. What I mean is... We're both vampires, sweet girl." he tells you. Oh, now he's really got to be kidding! There's no way...

Felix's smirk falters a bit, as he slowly reaches up towards his left eye with one hand. "Maybe this will convince you, little one." he murmurs. As you sit there watching, he removes something from his eye, revealing a bright red iris. You let a small, shuddering gasp slip past your lips, your heart beginning to race within your chest. Demetri quickly shushes you, placing a hand over yours on the bed.

Another gasp leaves you as his skin makes contact with yours. His hand is ice cold to the touch, almost like that of a dead person's. With wild, frightened eyes, you look up at him. "Shh, sweetness... I promise you, we're not going to hurt you. Felix, do the poor girl a favor and put your contact lens back in. Now look, Y/N... I would never hurt you, okay? Never." Demetri says softly.

Part of you wants to pull your hand away from his, but there's another part of you, a much bigger part, that would much rather stay as close to him as possible. And yet, you're not entirely sure why...

Swallowing hard, you give Demetri a pointed look. "You... But you eat people, right? You live off human blood?" you ask. He nods, a solemn look on his face now. "That is true, yes. But I have no desire to hurt you. While your blood may be the most intoxicating scent I've ever come across, I could never bear to see you get hurt. Y/N, darling... I think we're mates." he answers.
