Bella's Pov

"Nice to see you again, Alec" I nodded. "And you Jane."

It was amusing to say the least as I took in everybody's reaction. I mean when I confessed that I had been in the path of the Voltouri before did they simply assume that it wall all bad? I had said that it didn't end on the best of terms, but that was when me and Jasper refused to go with Aro and become just another puppet for the guard. That was the last thing either of us had wanted.

Smartly Alec and Jane simply nodded, not speaking in case they angered Aro any more than they had already. But what I was feeling coming off him wasn't anger per say, but rather shock and a strange sense of delight which was intriguing. What did he have to be delighted over?

It was Carlisle who snapped his head in my direction and asked the question I knew everyone must have been thinking.

"How do you know Alec and Jane, Bella?" he raised both his brows.

Shrugging I decided to answer honestly. "I was still tracking down Jasper when I came across them during mid-mission. I was curious when they did not attack me outright even though it would have been an expected reaction from two of the Voltouri guard" I replied simply.

"And…"

"And we got talking. Their dislike for humans was a shared passion you could say" I winked towards them. They seemed to fight the urge to smile and I knew just where they were coming from.

Jasper on the other hand was simply shaking his head. "Leave it to you Darlin' to make nice with the Voltouri."

I rolled my eyes. "Two," I glared. "I do not mind two of the Voltouri guard. Get your facts straight," I pinched him on the arse causing him to jump.

I could tell that our playful nature in such a situation was a shock to most, but it was just how we were. Hell in the past we would fuck on the battle field once we had won if we couldn't wait to get into the forest quick enough, it was just how we were. Passionate.

We were brought out of our intimate conversation when Aro's voice cut through the clearing. "Oh, isn't this wonderful" he gushed causing Jasper to protectively stand in front of me. I raised a brow, clearly having missed something.

"This does not change anything, Aro" my mate spoke tensely. Yep, I had clearly missed something.

Aro waved him off dismissively. "Of course it does, Alec and Jane will tell you how well you will fit in" he gestured to the youngest looking two of his guard. I rolled my eyes. Did he seriously think this had a change in hell of working?

I glanced towards the two in question, feeling the discomfort rolling off them in waves.

"I think you are underestimating the lack of interest we have in your offer, Aro" Jasper cut him off. "We have made it perfectly clear to you that there is no chance in hell of that ever happening, neither of us wish to have you as our superior."

I resisted the urge to sigh at how dull and unnecessary all of this was, well that was until something finally clicked.

"You used Alice," I spoke out causing shock to register all around me. "Her disappearing, she was trying to work around my shield" I scanned her out only to see her standing behind Emmett with her eyes narrowed. "How'd that work out for ya?" I smirked.
