Pairing: fem!human!reader x Demetri Volturi

Everything I’ve ever written |Join my taglist

Living with perfect creatures as an imperfect human is a real challenge. One you accepted without a doubt because it meant being with Demetri, your mate.

The fact that Demetri is part of the elite guard within the Volturi often results in you having to listen to rude comments from the lower guard. The insults varied from comments about your weight to comments about the way you dressed. But more often than not, there were threats about how easy it would be for them to hurt you. They’re right of course, there isn’t a lot you can do to protect yourself from vampires.

It was easier to ignore the comments about how you looked than the threats on your life. If there’s one thing you realised after you started seeing a vampire is how fragile your life is. There’ve been a few times when one of the guards took a hold of you. Luckily for you, before things would get too bad someone would always appear in the hallway.

—–

You pass a guard on the way to the kitchen. A scowl is already plastered on his face and he mutters something under his breath. You walk a little faster wanting to get out of there as soon as possible. Out of the corner of your eye you can see his hand shoot out. His hand roughly wraps itself around your upper arm. He’s about to say something to your face, but before he can he’s screaming out of agony. You’re positive that wasn’t your fault so you frantically look around and your eyes land on the twins.

Jane is focused on the guard crippling on the floor while Alec gives you a once over, looking for evident injuries as they make their way towards you. Alec’s eyes linger on your upper arm, making you look down. The bruises from the guard’s hand are forming rapidly. You lay your own hand over the bruises, hiding them from view.

When they reach you, Jane wraps her arm around your shoulders and escorts you to the throne room. Alec following behind with the guard.

When you enter the throne room only Caius is sitting on his throne with Felix next to him. A puzzled expression takes over his features as he takes in the scene in front of him. You walking in between Jane and Alec while Alec holds onto the dishevelled vampire.

Despite the rumours that Caius is as ruthless as they come, you actually get along with the king. You often converse about certain books or play a game of chess together.

“What’s the meaning of this,” Caius coldly asks, clearly not happy we interrupted his conversation with Felix.

You cower a little at the sound of his voice.

Alec pushes the guard forward. “We found him harassing, y/n.”

To accentuate Alec’s words, Jane removes your hand from the bruises. The handprint is clearly visible right now.

Felix rushes to the guard holding his neck in his hands, ready for an order from Caius. Ready to defend you, his best friend’s mate.

Meanwhile Caius’ face betrays nothing. But then his brows furrow while he looks at your bruises. He stands from his throne and walks until he’s standing in front of you. He takes your bruised arm in his hand while the fingers of his other hand caress bruises that already faded from earlier encounters.

“It seems like this wasn’t the first time,” he says, voice hard, making your breathing halt and Felix’s grip tighten.

“Was this the first time something like this has happened,” he softly asks you.

You cast your eyes down while slowly shaking your head ‘no’.

Before Caius can react, the doors open once more, revealing Demetri. He must’ve just gotten back from his mission and come here to report. You see his eyes take in the scene in front of him. Caius standing in front of you, still holding onto your arm. The twins flanking both of your sides. And Felix holding one of the lower guards in a death grip.

He falters in his steps, but recovers fast and saddles up next to you when Jane moves to make room for him. As soon as he stands next to you, he gives you a once over, his eyes immediately landing on the fresh bruises. Fury flares up in his eyes.

“Who did this,” he asks, his voice shaking as he tries to stay calm.

The guard practically answers his question by cowering.

“We walked in on him harassing, y/n. So we took him here. Master Caius was just evaluating the situation before deciding what to do. But then you waltzed in here, halting the process,” Jane answers him.

He simply nods before taking your hand in his, waiting for Caius’ verdict.

Caius walks towards his throne and sits down before he starts talking: “Y/n is part of the Volturi. Yes, she is human, but she is Demetri’s mate. And she will become one of us. Therefore every despicable action against her will be severely punished. Let this be a warning for all the other guards. Felix, you know what to do.”

And just like that, the guard’s fate is sealed. Demetri excuses the both of you and starts walking toward the doors, seconds before Felix rips the guard’s head off.

You silently walk next to Demetri as you make your way to your room. He’s clearly fuming and you can’t blame him. You can understand why. You never told him the other guards were bugging you. And when he comes home from a mission that took several weeks, he finds you bruised standing in front of Caius. He always swore to protect you and he must think he failed you somehow.

Once he closes the door to your bedroom, he starts: “Why didn’t you tell me? How long has this been going on? How could you keep this from me? You’re supposed to tell me when people are hurting you.”

Worry, anger, frustration, hurt. All those emotions are clear in his expression. You sit down on the bed and fumble with the hem of your shirt.

“I just didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. They were just stupid comments, okay? There was just no reason to make a big fuss about it. I knew it would worry you and I didn’t want to add more stuff on your plate. You have so many important things to do and my thing seemed silly. I also didn’t want to seem weak by letting a couple of comments get to me. I’m already viewed as weak within these walls.”

Demetri stands in front of you, he takes one of your hands in his while he uses his other to pull your chin up. Your eyes meet his.

“I want to know when something is bothering you. It doesn’t matter if it’s trivial or not. I need to know if I want to protect you, my love,” he sweetly responds.

“I know, I’m sorry,” you whisper.

He sends you a dazzling smile before your lips meet his in the sweetest kiss.

Summary: The plan was supposed to be simple, but instead you find yourself hiking in the woods with four Volturi guards. It appears that you’re the perfect entertainment for two of them. Eventually, you get fed up with their jokes, but Felix is there to comfort you.

Pairing: human!reader x Felix Volturi

Everything I’ve ever written|Join my taglist

This wasn’t the plan. The original plan was nice and easy. Felix was supposed to come to your house so you could go to the airport and hop on a plane to Volterra together. Instead you found Jane, Alec and Demetri at your door when you were about to leave for the airport. They’re the reason why you’re currently hiking in the woods.

For someone as clumsy as you, this isn’t the smartest idea. Logically, the hiking path isn’t paved. Instead, it’s earth with scattered loose rocks. Not the most steady ground, it has already caused you to trip a couple of times and you’re only ten minutes into the hike.

The twins, walking in the front, have the time of their life laughing at you every time you stumble. Demetri walks in front of you and Felix is walking behind you. Let’s just say you have tested their reflexes in a new way. You still don’t understand why Felix thought it would be a good idea to take you along with them.

After you stumble once more and Felix steadies you, you grumble: “I’m so sick of this. Why’d you make me tag along?”

Felix intertwines his fingers with yours while you continue walking in front of him. “Because, my love, this way we can immediately leave for the airport when we have the vampire.”

You sigh. “I didn’t sign up to be the twins’ laughing stock. You know how clumsy I am. It was clear this would be a disaster, even before we started.”

“Don’t mind them. They’re always like that, laughing at everything and everyone.”

“That’s easier said than done when you’re not the person they’re laughing at.” You stumble over another loose rock and the twins’ cackling reaches your ears loud and clear. “I’m so done with this.”

Felix makes you turn around so you’re looking at him. His hands rest on the side of your head while he intensely stares in your eyes. “We’re almost there. Their teasing will stop once we have the vampire in our custody. I adore your clumsiness, it’s adorable.”

You scoff. “It’s not adorable if I fall to my death in a ravine.”

“Good thing I’m here to catch you,” he says while winking.

What’s For Dinner (Carlisle Cullen x Reader)

Heyyyyyy, I’m back with the daddy carlisle content, this was request by an anonymous. Enjoy!

When Carlisle met (y/n) he felt like the situation was made by God himself, she was an intern from New York that she found out about how good of a doctor Carlisle is and wanted to learn from him, he remembered that the college she was attending had asked him to come and meet the students, he of course had agreed and gave one lecture to the ones that wanted to listen yet somehow he had missed (y/n) who apparently was mesmerized by him and chose the small hospital in forks for her last internship so she could get her degree.

Other than the fact that Carlisle felt honored for having a young doctor tell him she was inspired by him, he found her extremely beautiful, she radiated love with that smile that lit up the room, her voice felt like music and her unfiltered loud laugh was so authentic, you could tell it came from within. She wasn’t spreading love, she is love, she what love looks like to him.

When it came to asking her out he waited for her to clock out, although that was the hardest part since (y/n) seemed to be charged rather than having the need to sleep, to be quite fair the bags under her marvelous eyes indicated that she was in much need of a good night’s sleep but she seemed in such bliss while she worked, the others had to basically kick her out when her shift was over.

“Excuse me, before you go… I want to ask you something”

“What? Did I do something wrong?”

“No no, I… umm… would you like to go out for dinner?”

(Y/n) stood there staring at Carlisle. She had been crushing over him for a while now but she assumed he was either married or had a companionship, he was a very private man.

“Like, as a date?”

“Yes”

-

“Come on! Those things are such a scam!”

She yelled in irritation as the game buzzed once again, Emmett had managed to find this little game called “operation” and now (y/n) was trying to prove her entire degree over a board game. Carlisle was in the kitchen cooking as he heard his son’s victorious laugh masking (y/n)’s annoyed groan.

“Oh that’s alright human, you’ll get it next time”

“Stop calling me that”

She snapped back as Emmett took his turn. Rosalie was sitting next to (y/n) just watching the two, from all of them Rosalie seemed to be the most fond of (y/n), don’t get it wrong the others loved her but Rosalie had the biggest soft spot. Maybe because (y/n) always said how she is in no rush to become immortal, she loved her immortality and also joked how she wanted to pass Carlisle’s “legal” age. Other than that their common ground is how (y/n) had confessed she wanted to become a mother, have a kid to nurture and see it grow. 

“This is bullshit”

“Ah ah language young lady”

“I’m sorry grandpa, want to go outside and maybe see the bears? Oh I forgot you are not really friends with them”

Rosalie couldn’t help but giggle at the little dig (y/n) made towards her husband. Emmett just stood there shocked before getting up to pick (y/n) and place her over her shoulder and started to walk outside. (Y/n) and Emmett were chaotic together, they fought like siblings and to the others even though there was a mild concern about her wellbeing they found it extremely entertaining.

“These two will never stop”

Carlisle whispered as he followed Rosalie out to find the two little kids that were trapped in grown bodies. They found them as Emmett still had her over his shoulder while (y/n) tried to bite his arm at a desperate attempt to cause him pain.

“Apologize mortal”

“I’d rather chop my boobs off”

“Ok, Emmett please put her down”

Emmett decided to listen to Carlisle after he huffed in a disappointed manner and then placed her down while (y/n) fixed her hair.

“You’re lucky my man is holding me back or I would bite your hand off”

“I’d like to see you try”

Carlisle couldn’t help but smile at the sight of the girl going on her tiptoes to reach Emmett’s height and still couldn’t really compare, who could blame her though? Emmett was known because of his tall and well built figure.

“Come on Emmett, we have to go hunting and (y/n) has to eat”

“See ya around bear boy”

(Y/n) said as she skipped over to Carlisle and gave him a big hug. Carlisle seemed to relax under her touch and forget all the types of trouble she is causing with her playfulness when she is out of her blue scrubs. His hand went to her hair as he stroked it before placing a kiss at the top of her head, when the others walked away she looked at him with those sparkling hues that seemed to never leave his mind.

“What’s for dinner?”

“I made you some shrimp pasta”

“Sounds delicious. Come on chef I will taste your masterpiece and then you can taste my mom’s”

“Your mom’s masterpiece?”

“Me”

Lamb For Slaughter (Aro Volturi x Reader)

So I finally found out how to put a tittle through my phone so we are back in business babies. This was requested by anon, Enjoy!

Bella and (Y/n) have been inseparable since she arrived in Forks, she was the one that helped her feel comfortable and welcomed the most out of everyone. She understood that Bella was not used to people taking into consideration how she felt or what she wanted, so (y/n) felt like it was necessary and helped her grow a bit of a backbone.

However, all her work went out the window when her boyfriend Edward left her. She became miserable, depressed and refused to heal from the heartache, (y/n) was a few years older than Bella so she had a grasp of how a break up at that age could make you feel lost and misunderstood so she remained a vague help in the shadows, trying to help Charlie in this process.

“Never in a million years I thought I would end up in this type of situation”

(Y/n) said to Alice as they walked towards the big entrance of where the “vampire royalty” lived. Alice gave her a ghost of a smile and it took no genius to see that she felt particularly nervous.

(Y/n) felt no empathy for her, especially now when in just a span of an hour she found out vampires existed, that they were vampires and apparently they were in trouble at the vampire police? She wished she was dreaming or joking yet they were no sight of cameras and she vividly remembered waking up from her nap hours ago.

As Alice effortlessly opened the big and what looked like quite a heavy door,only to be met by two tall strange men dressed in black, a shirtless Edward and a slightly disheveled Bella.

“Hello Demetri, Felix”

Alice greeted them as she took off her sunglasses. The two men looked at (y/n) with surprise before smiling.

“Another mortal, Aro won’t be pleased”

“She has nothing to do with this”

Bella defended her as (y/n) tried to look confident under their gaze, she felt like she was under a microscope and most importantly that her life was at risk.

“Aro will be pleased, she is here for a reason”

“Am I? And if I am then what is the reason?” (Y/n) thought, still choosing to remain silent and observe the scene.

Before Alice could answer a young female voice was heard in the distance.

“Enough”

“Jane”

Edward was heard in a very shy and almost scared demeanor that made (y/n) hands get sweaty. As the extremely young girl approached and took off her hood you could see her red hues glistening that brought shivers in (y/n)’s spine.

“Aro send me to see what’s taking so long”

At that they all silently followed the girl like sheep followed the leader. She could feel that something was not going to go well at the pit of her stomach yet she couldn’t understand what would happen next.

As Jane opened the doors she was met with three men sitting in chairs a few steps higher than the marble floor, certifying their distance and higher standards than the others that walked in.

As soon as she walked in she felt tense and under a spell, the air felt stuffing like she could not take another breath or her lungs would explode.

“How wonderful, Bella is alive after all, isn’t that wonderful? I love a happy ending, but they are so rare”

A man with long black hair and extremely fair complexion approached them, he seemed like the leader since his chair was more out front. He was firstly walking towards Edward but before he could fully stand in front of him the man froze. He had a strange aura surrounding him, made (y/n) get very hyper aware of her surroundings when they locked eyes.

“And… who is that?”

He asked in a high pitched yet kind of child like voice, it was disturbing to say the least. His entire presence resembles a lunatic to her yet he seemed very intrigued by her.

“That’s (y/n) she is a friend”

“Friends, what an amazing bond to have. Allow me to introduce myself then dear (y/n)… I am Aro”

He said as he extended his arm to her. She gave him hers and he placed a slight kiss on her palm, his hands felt like solid ice against hers. Aro took a deep inhale of her scent that made him feel like his lungs were on fire and her blood was the antidote.

“Aaaaahh quel dolce profumo” (that sweet smell)

He said as she took her hand back in a swift motion. Bella was trying to understand what was happening while Edward felt torn between what was the right thing to do in this situation.

“I don’t understand”

“Of course you don’t dearest, do not be afraid of me, I want to protect you”

Aro reassured her yet she didn’t feel relaxed, quite the opposite actually. As her eyebrows furrowed Alice pushed her a bit closer to Bella.

“What is going on?”

“Il mio cantante” (my singer)

“Can you stop with the Italian? And somebody please explain this to me”

She grew frustrated as her voice became louder. Alice decided that it was time someone helped (y/n), mostly because she felt bad, she saw what could happen if Aro saw her. She could help them survive 

“You are Aro’s mate, like Bella is to Edward”

“Excuse me?”

She could not believe it. There was no way her fate would be this crazy man that stood before her, it was baffling to her.

“There must be a mistake here”

“I’m wounded dear, I could give you the world”

Aro said without showing a hint of emotion. In his mind this was the most marvelous news, there she stood, his true second in command and he was sure she would make a great one. Another diamond for his coven

“Edward, what is going on?”

“I’m afraid Alice is right (y/n)”

“No, I’m not going to stay here. I have a life of my own”

“Unfortunately dearest I can’t possibly let you go now, you belong here”

“I belong where my heart wishes and trust me my heart wants to get out of here”

“That could be arranged”

The blonde hair man that sat in the back silently watching hissed at her. At this point (y/n) fell in survival mode and if it was this strange man who could be her punching back then so be it.

“I’m not talking to you fu-”

Alice did not allow her to finish her sentence. She clapped her hand over (y/n)s mouth and pulled her back for everybody’s safety

“It’s for your own good”

Alice whispered in her ear while Aro went into a laughing fit. Alice freed her one (y/n) looked a bit more calm and less dangerous.

“She has a fire in her, you will be one of my greatest additions”

(Y/n) hasn’t felt this helpless in ages, she valued her free spirit and the need to feel alive by choosing her fate at her own time. Now she was standing on a dead end that others forced her in.

“You knew about this? That’s why you brought me here? Like a lamb for slaughter”

She turned to Alice, the feeling of betrayal written all over (y/n)s face. She didn’t understand why Alice insisted in her tagging along but now it all made sense, she was a simple sacrifice for her beloved brother.

“It’s not like that-”

“Okay, explain then”

Alice started looking around as her scattered thoughts did not help her to come out with an explanation to justify her actions.

“I’ll stay here, just let them go please”

(Y/n) stated as she focused on Aro. She could sense what her future meant for her, she would become like them, eternally young.

“The girl knows too much, she is a liability”

The blonde one threw his two cents in. Even though she was caught in this because of them she felt pity for them, she saw first hand how Bella had become because of Edwards absence. 

“Consider this as a deal, I won’t put a fight on anything you need me to do but they will leave unharmed. Bella will become a vampire eventually”

“This is a rare occasion, however I feel charitable, take them away demetri. Would you like to say goodbye to your friends?”

Aro asked her. She felt he back tense up at those words, an ironic smirk painted her lips

“Friends? What a funny word.”

Aro instructed Demetri to take them away with a simple hand motion while (y/n) felt tears cloud her eyes. As she heard them walk away Aro came closer to her and placed his hands on the sides of her face in a way to soothe her. His coldness reminded her for what’s about to come, making her legs tremble.

“You’ll be safe here dearest, you don’t have to worry about anything”

Do I Have To? (Carlisle x Reader)

So I had to repost this cause tumblr is on my ass for some reason. It was requested by an anon. Enjoy!

From the first glance (Y/n) and Carlisle were the opposites of each other. (Y/n) was a very guarded person, seemed cold and unapproachable, very stoic mannerism. Carlisle had a reassuring smile on his face almost every day, he carried himself with this warm and welcoming aura, most of their mutual would have never guessed that they would be the perfect match.

Carlisle begged to differ, yes when he met her he was a bit wary on how to approach her without insulting her, she had come to the hospital for a check up, since as a dance teacher she valued her health and tried to keep up with her blood tests and other stuff, if she wanted to teach she must set a good example and she had to be in top shape. Once he got to know her on a more personal level he realized that she was one of the most sensitive, empathetic woman, the most fascinating part about her was that she had this child-like wonder, that glistered in her eyes over the tiniest little things that people normally skip over or gradually take for granted. 

He often liked to reminisce of their first Christmas, he had finally convinced her to come over and spend it with his family, since it was one of their first milestones he tried to find the perfect gift, something that she would love with all her heart, so he bought her a replica of the dress from her favorite animated movie “Anastasia” along with the tiara she was wearing in one particular scene. In a blink of an eye the distant, confident (y/n) started bawling her eyes out from pure joy, without being able to utter a word.

“You know it’s just my luck to get sick right before Christmas”

As much as she loved being pampered, (y/n) hated being sick. All her injuries from her years of dancing were now aching and burning like a thousand suns, her nose was stuffy, her eyes burned and the fever was making her sweat profusely, she was a very neat person so this disheveled state was not her style, one of her worst case scenario was for Carlisle to see her like this.

Carlisle would always jump in the chance of taking care of her, that was his job, to mend the wounds of the people that he loved. He found her adorable as she was engulfed by the covers, her head deep in the pillows while her nose and cheeks were this cherry red that indicated of her persistent fever. 

“Come on angel it’s not that bad”

“Yes it is, get away from me I smell like death”

“People that suffered from the black plague smelled like death not you”

“Comparing me to the kind that got sick from a vicious plague that came from rats it’s not comforting”

Carlisle laughed at her wounded ego. (Y/n) did not only have the child-like wonder she also had the child-like temper and stubbornness of one whenever she got under the weather. She blamed it on him being what he was, which meant he never got sick or sweaty, he was just immune to anything ugly.

To him that was the most beautiful thing about her. She was human, she could cry, feel her heart race after running, her breath get more swallow after a work out. His favorite was when she got sleepy, her eyes slowly closing as she desperately tried to stay awake, how her voice got a bit raspy and slow, she was adorable to him. All these little things were the most amazing parts of her, stuff that he had lost decades ago, humanity was something he missed so much.

“Come on beautiful, time for your medicine”

“Do I have to?”

“Yes, it will help with your fever”

She groaned before she sat up to take the little cup filled with the syrup. It was supposed to be cherry flavored, however everyone knew cherry flavored medicine tastes the worst, she took a breath to prepare herself for the awful flavor that was about to fill her taste buds when she let it touch her lips. As the thick liquid went down her throat she winced, making Carlisle laugh at the little grimace she did from the sourness of it. She started coughing over the thick consistency the medicine had, as she tried to suck it up and be a grown up.

“Fucking disgusting”

“Wash it down with this”

He passed her glass of freshly squeezed orange juice which she gladly took and gulped it down to recover from the awfulness that was the medicine. The sweetness of the juice soothed her throat, dissolving the sour taste of the previous liquid that went past it. He sat next her and tried to hug her when she pulled away and tried to hide under her blankets.

 “No, I smell”

“Angel, you smell fine. Let me give you a hug”

She didn’t respond, she just got closer to him and let her head to rest on his lap. He smiled at her silent reply and let his hand ran through her hair as she got comfortable. He was aware she felt awful but to him she couldn’t be more perfect, as she curled up to his side, her uneven breaths as she attempted to breath from her nose but failed, he wished to be able to have those things of humanity. 

“Why are you so perfect?”

“I was about to ask you the same thing angel”

“I hate that you are vampire, you get to be this untouchable thing and I get sick because I went out without a jacket”

“Mortality is the most amazing thing, you get to grow old with your friends and family, have a family of your own”

“Was it hard to outgrow people that you loved? I always wondered if you ever met a human that you cared for that has passed away”

It was an honest question, she always wanted to ask him but she never wanted to invade his privacy, she just hoped that maybe he would bring it up in a conversation or somebody from his family would give her a clue. He dwelled over her question for a minute, trying to find the right words, there have been so many patients he had seen, most of them young. 

Seeing them walk in the hospital with this determination of coming out on the other side, as the days turned to weeks and then months, slowly seeing that confidence and the life getting sucked out of them, their blank stares was the sharpest knife. Seeing them passing away at their prime, contacting their family, was the hardest part that he could never get used to.

“A lot of my patients that were in and out of hospitals lost the battle to cancer or aids, it’s hard to let them go I even thought of changing some of them, yet I couldn’t take them away from their families”

“No one expects you to adopt all of your patients mister Cullen. Even though you would do it if you could”

There it was, she was getting drowsy. He looked over her, her eyes were already closed, enjoying the feeling of his fingers massaging her scalp that made her relax and slowly drift off. He leaned in to place a kiss on her hot cheek, hoping that the medicine will soon take over

“Get some sleep angel, I’ll be right here”

“If I sleep that means I’ll sweat like a pig again”

She murmured, standing in between being asleep and awake. He giggled before he gently helped her lay her head to her pillows, she didn’t protest, mostly because she didn’t understand the transition.

“you are supposed to. Get some rest and I’ll ran you a hot bath when you wake up”

One Way To Find Out (Carlisle Cullen x Reader)

This was requested by anon, sorry it took so long for me to write this but I hope I fulfilled your expectations. Enjoy!

Having Carlisle in her life felt almost natural, like it was just what was meant to happen, (y/n) felt comfortable and safe around her, it brought her some tranquility and serenity in her everyday life. She recalled how she had met him, running in the forest as a form of exercise, she preferred running at dusk, those peaceful hours that a few people get to experience since most of the population is still fast asleep, enjoying the warmth of their covers and letting their minds rest. Of course they were days that she was one of those people and just decided to sleep in and let the blankets hug her body for a few more hours. 

As she turned to look at something that had caught her eye, she seemed to miss the branch that was dangerously in front of her feet, before she could turn her gaze what was ahead, her legs got caught in the branch and forced her onto the ground, thankfully her reflexes had kicked in and she managed to break the fall with her hands, on the other hand she ended up scratching them and felt sharp pain to her knees and palms, she already could feel the material of her leggings being torn and probably the bleeding had already started.

“Miss, are you alright?”

She heard a male voice calling at her. Great, even running on the forest couldn’t save her from making a fool out of herself. What she did not know was that Carlisle was the reason she tripped, the thing that had caught her attention was his figure running past her as he was coming back from hunting. So when he saw her falling he couldn’t help but feel guilty, he could smell her blood from the cuts she had developed all because of him.

“Yes I’m fine thank you”

It was still quite dark, the sun had not fully set yet, so he was still able to walk around without fear of catching the sunlight on his skin. As he went to pull her up on her feet, she let out a small groan of discomfort and her face scrunched up.

“You are wounded, can you walk?”

“I think- nope”

As she went to put some pressure on her left leg her ankle gave up and made her stumble right on his arms. Carlisle caught her in a swift manner and got a gush of her scent, to him she smelt heavenly, her hair smelled like the best type of chamomile and a few dashes of citrus.

“I’m doctor Carlisle Cullen, I work at the hospital here, now I understand you won’t agree to coming to my house so let me take you to the hospital and patch you up, alright?”

“Okay that sounds fair”

-

“Young lady, if I didn’t know any better I would say you are anxious”

“Oh my gosh Sherlock Holmes, how did you figure that out? Of course I am”

Meeting his clan was nerve racking for her, it was his family and they knew each other for decades and now here she was, a human coming in his life so she felt the need to live up to their expectations. Especially Esme, she was the first one he turned and pretty much his right hand, everything about her had to be perfect for this first meeting.

“Oh come on darling it will be fine, worst case scenario they kill you but that hasn’t happened in a few years, Jasper promised to behave”

“I know you are joking but it doesn’t really help now, does it?”

Carlisle parked his car right outside and went to open her door, lending her his hand to help her get out of the vehicle. Before she could take a step towards the stairs Carlisle brought her closer to him, his torso touching hers and wrapping his one arm around her waist.

“Let’s take a deep breath now to relax….. that’s better, they will love you, I am 100% sure of it”

“Well, one way to find out”

They walked to the door together, as the gentleman that he was he let her walk in first and closed the door behind him. (Y/n) took in the minimalistic decoration, the walls were painted white and it had wooden accents of the furniture that gave this sophisticated vibe to the house, She saw all the glass windows that let in the gloomy light and gave the best view of the forest.

“The house is lovely”

“Esme is a great interior designer dear, come on they are probably at the kitchen”

“Kitchen?”

She questioned as she felt her coat slip off her shoulders. Carlisle took it in his arms and placed it neatly on the coat hanger, she was used to him doing those small little chivalry things, she enjoyed them a lot actually, she felt taken care of.

“Esme insisted in cooking a meal for you, come along now”

He guided her towards the kitchen are with his one hand on her waist, he was feeling confident about this, (y/n) was a wonderful person so there was nothing really to worry about. As soon as she could peek in the room, she felt eyes staring right at her, obviously they had heard- or smelled her she wasn’t quite sure- coming in.

Esme was behind the kitchen table that was made out of marble, hot pans around her and a big muscular guy next to her stirring up a pot. (Y/n) had recognized Esme immediately, Carlisle had spoken about her and she looked exactly what she imagined.

“Hello everyone”

Her voice had gone up a few octaves from the anxiety, she looked at each one of them in their eyes, trying to figure out who is who. Esme put down her knife and walked directly to (Y/n) and opened her arms for a hug, (y/n) felt bit more relaxed once she came in contact with Esme, she had this motherly vibe that made you feel welcome.

“Welcome home (Y/n), we’ve heard so much about you”

“Oh all good things I suppose”

“Of course, let me introduce you to the others. This is Emmett in the kitchen, Rosalie is setting up the table and Alice and Jasper on the fridge, actually now that we mentioned it, what kind of wine do you like?”

“I prefer Rose but anything will work, thank you”

They all had smiles on their faces as they looked at (Y/n). They were very happy when they heard about their mentor Carlisle finally having a partner besides Esme in his life, he had helped each one of them find their mate, it was his turn to be in that blissful state now.

“See I told them Rose would go great with the food but Alice was insisting on white wine”

“I thought it would bring out the taste of the chicken more for her. Hello (y/n), I am Alice it’s great to meet you”

“It’s great to meet you too, it’s really not a problem, whatever wine you have it’s okay for me”

“Oh now don’t be nervous, thankfully I convinced them to buy some rose just in case. So everything will be ready in a few minutes, Carlisle why don’t you take our lovely guest and show her around the house?”

“Great idea Esme, come on my sweet”

“Yes, ummm thank you guys”

She let out a breath of relief when she stepped away from the room. They were more welcoming than she expected, it was actually the best case scenario, still a tad bit of anxiety resonated in her mind.

 “See? There was nothing to worry about”

“They were very nice, I just… you know me, I am not great with first meetings”

“That’s what makes you charming dear, you almost peeled your skin off your fingers in there. Now come on, let me show you around”
