TAINTED BLOOD (Aro Volturi X Reader)

Familiar Face

***WARNING*** Mention of triggering subjects***

 Y/N was with Athenodora in the ballroom on the far side of the Volturi fortress. Athenodora continued telling Y/N stories about all the balls they hosted within these halls. Y/N was so mesmerized by the murals that decorated the walls and ceilings. Every intricate color contrasting the Golden Arches.

"Y/N" a familiar female's voice echoed through the grand hall

Y/N turned her head to see where the voice was coming from

There see saw Jane standing in the ballroom entrance. Her crimson glance placed on Y/N.

"Aro seeks your presence in the trial room now" Jane spoke.

"Hurry Y/N, Aro does not like to be kept waiting" Athenodora giggled.

"I'll catch up with you late" Y/N indicated as she left with Jane down the corridors on her way to the Volturi trials.

While everyone waited on Jane to retrieve Y/N. Aro was pacing in front of the man and his companion.

"Is she being summoned from the dungeons?" the man questioned. His voice almost sarcastic.

"no actually. She is free to roam these halls" Aro indicated as his gaze shot to the mans.

"Ah, so she's been your pleasure whore." the man spat.

"I am many things, but I do not place my hands where they do not belong" Aro stated. His pacing now to a stop. "I have seen you in her mind. How you helped her escape." he continued.

Aro could tell his statement made the man relax a bit. his shoulders no longer tense as they were before.

"Yes, we fortunately left the northern coven to find solitude" the man spoke.

"Y/N mentioned a few things about her past. Mostly with me delving into her mid. But I don't have an idea about some other things that might've happened there." Aro's eyes softened.

The man noticed Aro's demeanor change. His eyes became soft, though they kept their crimson glare.

The man caught on to what Aro was asking of him. That is when he released a deep breath and held his hand out. Gesturing for Aro to see for himself.

Aro was intrigued by this man and his action.

"Out" Aro hissed as everyone in the Volturi room exited. only leaving the man, his companion and Aro in the room.

Caius and Marcus were not pleased. Aro could sense this. Especially Marcus gave an astonishing huff as he walked past Aro and slightly shoved him with his shoulder as he briskly left the room.

After everyone exited and Aro heard they were far he let out a shaky breath.

"It's hard to make proper introductions when there are hunters watching" Aro stated.

"I couldn't help but agree" the man agreed with Aro with a slight smile.

Aro then placed his hand upon the mans. As if giving a strong handshake. Aro's eyes looked upon his hand as his eyes searched.

"She has endured much in her life; from the time she was a child and now as a woman" the man said with a low growl.

"I have seen much of her past. It truly is horrific" Aro stated as his eyes searched in worry.

"Horrific? coming from a blood thirsty vampire? You drain mortals to satisfy your hunger. I know what those red eyes of yours contain" The man spoke with certainty. Aro knew this Lycan had a grudge for vampires. He could sense it all over him.

"I cannot lie for what I am." Aro gave a quick glance up to the man. "I see all I needed" he continued as he gave one quick tap on the man's hand and let go.

Aro seen more than he liked. He seen things from a different point of view. This man has helped Y/N countless times. From a young girl to a full-grown woman. She also helped him as well. This man kept Y/N out of trouble and taught her how to survive among the vampires. Especially teaching her how to fight after she was a victim to rape within the coven.

This explained why she was somewhat tense around Aro. Even though she loved him, she still seems scared. Now Aro understood, now he understood she was not just a woman, not just a witch, but also a survivor.

Aro also learned something else as well. This man was Y/N's friend. He was Lucian.

That is when the trial room door opened, and Jane came in with Y/N.

Both Aro and Lucians eyes darted in that direction. There stood Y/N.

Y/N entered the room, and her eyes scanned her surroundings until they landed on Aro. Then she noticed his eyes move to the man next to him. It was him. Her dear friend from the north. Her friend that she thought she would never see again. It was Lucian.

Y/N quickly ran from where she was standing, Lucian coping her every step until they embraced each other. In a much-needed hug. Her feet just barely touching the ground.

Aro watched from afar. Witnessing the long-lost friends embracing each other. A part of him was happy and another part of him was jealous. His eyes stayed on them continuously.
