Standing at the edge of the same pond that I had sobbed in front of the day prior, our small group had found ourselves outside. Seeing as the air would make being near a human much easier, I let myself feel the breeze run through my hair and across my face.
"So, we have a lot to discuss," Aro starts, watching as Marcus and Caius made their way over to where we were, holding hands as they did so. My raven-haired mate smiles and kisses Caius on the cheek before starting back up again. "Not only do we have the added difficulties of you two being newborns, but we also will have to figure out a plan for your education since you are barred from being near any large group of humans until you have finished your newborn stage of vampire life. This is just for the safety of all vampires. Newborns such as yourselves have little control when you come into contact with human blood and could slaughter the entire classroom if there were an accident."
My cousins looked at each other before looking over to me, awkwardly smiling at my mate's presumptions about their ability to control themselves around a human like me. Not speaking up, they stay quiet and stay away from me, never getting closer than ten feet away from myself.
Caius and Marcus now standing next to me, I watch as Jane tries to make her way over to me, causing both kings to let out a string of angry hisses. The young girl cowers in fear and stays just as far away from me as her mate, not willing to cause her kings any more upset. Their angry hissing was enough to send chills down my own spine.
"Now, now, I miei amori, let us not hiss at our elite guard and scare la nostra bella Astraea. Guard, stay where you are, I suspect that the new bond is what has made my mates so territorial in ways they would not normally be," Aro sent our mates a reprimanding stare before turning back to the guard members, "Your mates are, as we have already found out, the younger identical twin cousins of the one true queen of the Volturi. What this shall entail is up to them, but they are royal through this bond. The four of you have always been higher than the rest of the guard due to your gifted abilities, but now, through Astro and Ambrose, you have also become a royal."
"What are we, my king?" Felix asked politely, not meeting Aro's gaze as he spoke.
"Titles other than ours have been deemed unnecessary throughout the years, but with the growing vampire population we will need more and more Volturi members to bring justice and peace in our secret world. To announce you as something higher than a guard right now may shock the world, so I think it would be best to deem you a Royal Guard here first and wait a few years, perhaps a decade, before telling the rest of our world of your esteemed status," my cousins' mates looked at each other before finally meeting Aro's gaze.
"Our mate is still human and will need extra protection. While Aro has Renata to guard him more personally, the rest of us have no guards other than the lower ones outside of our doors. I am certain that if push came to shove we would be able to protect Astraea, but it would put us at ease to know that a select amount of trusted and powerful guards were protecting her while we are at trial during the day," Marcus explained, his arms wrapped firmly around my waist, pulling me closer to his chest as he spoke.
