Alec and his Cinderella

Chapter Seven

"How'd the date go?" Demetri asked once Alec got back "It went well. Managed to eat a steak and fries although I do need to deal with it real quick" Alec said walking into the bathroom "The things you do for love" Demetri said smiling "I much preferred the movie part of our date, watching a romantic comedy whilst holding her soft warm hand..." Alec trailed off as he thought about her "Glad you had fun kid" "Demetri, I think Jake's broke the treaty. I mean Y/N knows that Ness and I aren't related and she didn't seem shocked or surprised the first time I held her hand on the ice-rink, almost as if she expected my hand to be cold" "How much do you think Jake has told her? It could be a problem Alec" Demetri replied sounding a little concerned. "How can I find out without breaking the treaty myself or our own laws?" "Ask her to elaborate on what she has already told you; ask her what Jake has actually told her. If any of what she knows isn't quite correct, tell her the truth...fill in the gaps but make sure you tell her how important it is that she keeps our secret Alec. I really don't want to have to come back and deal with the problem, not when it involves your mate" "I know Demetri and thank you. You've been really supportive the past few weeks" "Anytime, we're family after all" Demetri replied.

The following day Alec went to the reservation to see Y/N. "Hi Y/N how are you?" "I'm ok you?" She replied "I'm ok too. I was hoping we could talk...about what Jake may or may not have told you" "I wondered when you were going to ask me about that stuff Alec" She sat down on the grass and patted the space next her; Alec sat beside her and waited for her to talk "Jake told me Ness and you weren't twins; that you're pretending because Ness wanted to go to High School and didn't want her family to go with her but that you had offered and agreed to be twins" She began "Why would he tell you that?" Alec asked "Ness only wants to be friends with him, nothing more as you are probably aware and well he was getting jealous of the time you two were spending together and when I mentioned that as twins you probably have a close bond and enjoy hanging out together he started laughing. That's when he explained that you two weren't related and that you were...erm..." "I was what Y/N?" "Well...er...Jake said you were...a vampire and that you were part of the Volturi. Not that he explained what that was" She answered him "He said that I wasn't supposed to know so I had to keep it a secret otherwise...you'd kill me. Once Demetri arrived and Jake saw how close he and Ness were getting...that didn't go down well either and after Sam introduced us, well he kinda lost it. He started telling me that you and your 'family' were no good, dangerous and that you survive on...humans" Y/N was no longer looking at Alec so she missed the anger that flashed through his eyes; he lifted her head and turned it so she was looking at him "You are my mate Y/N and I have waited many many centuries to meet you, to be with you. I would never harm you, I-I couldn't...because harming you would be like harming myself. Vampires only get one mate and if we lose them then we remain heartbroken and alone for eternity. You are and always will be safe with me and my family. I promise" He said hoping she believed him, trusted him "I-I believe you...but I'm human Alec...I'm not supposed to know...about you and your world" "Y/N that's true but as my mate you are allowed to know as long as you promise to keep our secret. My 'family' rule the vampire world and I am one the four elite guards; the others being Demetri, Felix and my actual twin sister Jane. If you tell anyone about my world you put not only yourself at risk but us too" "I promise to keep your secret Alec, always" She kissed his cheek and he wrapped his arms around her holding her close.

Alec bought Y/N a silver heart shaped pendant with a small ruby in the centre for Christmas "Do you think she'll like it?" He asked showing it to Demetri "She'll love it because it's from you" He answered smiling. Y/N came over Christmas morning and exchanged presents with Alec, Demetri and the Cullens. "Happy Christmas Cinderella" Demetri greeted her smiling "Happy Christmas Demetri, are you ever going to call me Y/N?" She greeted back "Nope. You will always be Cinderella to me cara" He smiled handing her a small gift "This is for you" Y/N opened the gift to find it was a silver and pink shoe key chain, she chuckled "Thank you Demetri, I love it" Alec gave her his gift next and she became teary "Oh Alec it's beautiful, thank you so much" She pressed her warm lips against his cold ones. Y/N handed Alec his gift which was a first edition copy of Alice in Wonderland as she knew it was his favourite Disney movie "Thank you so much" He kissed her lips.
