I'm not amazing at descriptions but enjoy. Also there are a quite a few mentions of s3lf harm and rap3 so be warned! Also Bella bashing. When a certain Swan flees to the Cullens when her sister arrives in Forks she finds herself in Carlisle's study. She stares into the red eyes of a sad looking man in a painting, her heart was in pain and she collapsed to the floor with tears in her eyes. Not long later she found out her friends she's known for over a year are vampires and she's mated to one of the infamous Volturi kings. What will she do? How will he react to her past? Will her sister ruin her future?
