Loving a beast

One step forward

Once we landed and entered into our castle I booked it to my study. I first requested Angela be settled to rest and eat in a room in my wing but I would not see her fit like this. My anger was raging at this moment and I was going to snap if I didn't get away. 

I slammed my heavy oak door that it shook the stone walls. I snarled going straight to my sleek leather chair behind my desk. I twisted to face my window where it out looked the darkening sky over the gardens. I pinched the bridge of my nose and shook my head. I had made it through that flight without going on a rampage and killing all in my way till I found her attacker. I right now wanted to but I would not risk the guard. Plus I'd most likely kill them too. 

"Marcus, you need to calm down brother." Aro's voice came ringing through my room.

I turned violently to glare at my brother. I growled low baring my teeth a bit. 

"Do you not know of closed doors brother." I seethed.

Aro just chuckled as if I was a little angry kitten. I snarled out raged at his blatant disrespect towards me. He just shook his head as he came around to my desk.

"One more step Aro and I'll have your head rolling on the ground." I hissed my final warming losing patience.

"Oh calm yourself Marcus, I'm not going to harm you." Aro tsked. 

He came to the front of my desk and I snarled. "Aro!" 

"Oh brother why do you bellow so much? In two thousand years you have never uttered such anger. Tell me why now? I know Angela brings life to you but what has caused your fury?" Aro inquired. 

I sighed heavily, "Some vampire attacked her Aro. My mate, I will kill who ever did this to my beloved." 

He smirked a bit and came forward. "Ah, I see you are in protective mode. Go to your mate Marcus and discuss this with her. She might also calm you down." 

I nodded a bit and sat down. "I am sorry brother. I am over reacting I know, but this is so overwhelming. I haven't had a mate since Didyme, and knowing I can love again is baffling me. But also the fact someone harmed my mate is infuriating me. I am at loss I do not know what to do. It has been over two thousand years I do not know what to do Aro," I sighed.

"I know you don't brother, but first I suggest you go to her. She is in a foreign place a familiar person would settle her considering the fact she is your mate." He pressed firmly. "Now speaking of mates I have mine to attend Caius wants to me. So go brother."

Aro flitted away with that. I sighed heavily and went to my wardrobe. My study was a level below my rooms but I still felt as if I needed to change. 

I stripped from my dress ware, I looked in the mirror across on the wall. I looked over my chest and face. I hadn't been one for vanity, but for some reason I felt as if Angela deserved the best. I pulled a dark navy button down shirt off the hanger and quickly did it up. I slipped some normal Armoni black dress pants. I slipper my black leather oxfords on and quickly ran a thin comb through my matted hair. When was the last time... Never mind. 

"This will have to do," I exhaled an unnecessary breath. 

Soon I was the one running threw the halls silently to my own rooms. Oh heavens, my metaphorical heart is racing. If I was human I'd no doubt be soaked in my own sweat. Thankfully being a vampire I can cover things well. Once I reached my rooms I slowed down listened.

'Thump, Thump, Thump,'

The wet beating heart could be heard out here indicating she was in my third smaller room. I flatten out my shirt and quickly lift my hand to knock on the door. but as I was about to the door squeaked open.
