Everyone In the field was speechless, Marcus had left with Afton. What was going on? Had he left the volturi like Alice had done. As Marcus banished from sight his scent vanished along with any other sound he and the guard made.
Bella griped Edward hand and guided Rennesme towards Jacob. And as they walked they looked over their shoulders to see what the volturi was up to. Where was Alice?
---------Marcus POV--------
He flashed through the trees, dodging the upcoming trees, animals, and fallen logs. The gold string brightened-and the most wonderful scent hung in the air. The scent was strong and refreshing, he followed it until a more enclosed part of the forest and their she sat the most beautiful being he had ever laid eyes upon. But she wasn't alone a child accompanied her.
He stayed hidden within the evergreen trees, not being able to find the courage to walk up to her. Her sun kissed skin glowed with the white almost silver nightgown she wore, her long chestnut colored hair flowed through her back leaving a small amount on the snow, and her big round doe eyes matching the little girl in her lap.
Giggles erupted through the air which made our mate smile. Happiness flowed through me-she glowed with happiness along with her child.
But all his thoughts were gone when he saw her shiver. The he took in what she wore and frowned. She's no vampire for he could hear her heart beat though the child was different it was at steadier beat like that hybrid the Cullen's had. He looked over his shoulder he started at Afton, he wanted to see if he was going to make any movement against his mate but he stood there frozen.
Afton gazes moved to Marcus and saw how his master was watching studying him and he lowered his gaze.
"I apologize my king, it was not my intention to stare," said Afton, "but she's rare her blood doesn't call to me. He tried to keep his tone calm. Though he could feel his master gaze upon him still.
"Do not worry, I can also tell my mate is quite rare," Marcus replied, "stay here I'll approach her alone"
"Yes master."

Marcus approached his mate carefully not to startle her. He was about call towards her but the child saw him first and gave him a big smile alerting my mate. He stopped breathing if that was even possible, she didn't even seem started by him being their. There eyes met and he couldn't bare to look away. She broke our eye contact a hint of pink kissed her face.
The little girl gave out a cry which made her worry, both of them were wearing clothes that weren't meant for this type of weather yet they didn't seem bother by the cold.
"Hello," she said, "why are you here?" She shifted under his gazed but that didn't stop her from looking at him.
"My name is Marcus, I'm here because I heard movement this way which led me to you," he said. He didn't want to scare her of but in other for this to work he had to be honest and he needed to bring her along with him and his brothers.
--------Esther POV-------
As he explained what he was and who he was, she kept her face neutral. When he stopped explaining Marcus reached towards her having Mya to take his had which made me giggle.
"Do not worry Marcus, I know what you and your brothers were a long time ago, though you wouldn't believe me if I told you."
Marcus studied her and smiled. Afton took a liking to the new queen for she was interesting and different. Everything that's different is always refreshing.
He was happy for his master for it had been more than a millennia that happiness such as this had crossed his path. He saw the queen study him from afar and she beckoned him towards her.
The child that was on her hands now was with master Marcus playing with the volturi chain. Marcus watched as Afton approached his mate carefully, he bowed his head, and greeted her.
" My queen," he said.
Her smiled didn't falter but walked closer towards him and said, " none of that please, call me Esther." Her smile brought a warming feeling around them, the snow melted were ever she stepped, but the snow hugged her body like she was part of it.
Esther couldn't feel more than happy having met Marcus in person. But she was slightly confused wasn't he supposed to be at the battle with his brothers? She felt a slight pain through her body as she thought he would leave her behind. She was acting clingy. Something she wasn't but she didn't have anywhere else to go and Mya and her needed someplace warm.
"May i ask something?" She looked towards Marcus, who gave her a small nod. " where are your brothers?"
