Felix Volturi

The first thing Felix noticed when picking up Lilith was the dusting of blush over her nose and cheeks that seemed to permanently stain her pale complexion. It was probably the only thing Felix would miss about her being human, however, eternity with your soulmate was worth the loss of one minor facial feature. Her long curly black hair was pulled up into a messy bun with a few stray pieces framing her face. She looked comfortable in her black sweater, leggings and red plaid skirt, having told her to dress warmly for the date he had planned.

She was the most beautiful thing Felix had ever seen in his life. Both immortal and otherwise.

She kissed her father goodbye before coming to join him on the porch. Felix surprisingly found himself getting along with Charlie. Though he supposed that he would get along with anyone that would defend and care for his mate just as fiercely as himself, and despite his awkward demeanour Charlie opened up quite quickly once they discovered their shared love of sport. On the other hand, Felix also found himself despising the other Swan sister and their mother alike and his dislike of the Cullens quickly curdled into hatred.

He found the pale brunettes general lack of care for her family and those around her to be disgusting, her infatuation with the bronze-haired mind reader to be utterly pathetic and the way she treated her sister to be truly abhorrent. The last reason being the reason he hated her the most, for Felix would destroy anyone who harmed his mate. They were traits in the girl that he wondered if they were inherited because from what Lilith had said Bella was a lot like their mother.

She took both her children out of spite despite knowing she couldn't look after them both than kicked out the one that she loved so that she could follow a minor league baseball player around the back alleys of America. They were both selfish in their actions and Bella certainly proves it time and time again. If it wasn't for his master's friendship with the blonde patriarch of the Cullen clan he would have killed her for the events that took place in Italy. Though that smaller voice of reason in the back of his head would remind him that if those events did not occur than they would not have met in that moment and he would have had to wait even longer to find her. For Felix firmly believed that true mates were destined to cross paths at some point in life, for the universe would not have mated them otherwise.

Lilith smiled up to him as they made their way down into the tree line and Felix swore to himself that he would fight to protect that smile, for every day of the rest of hs life if he had to.

"So bear, where are we going today?" She asked, eyes sparkling with excitement.

"That my dear lily pad is a surprise" He jested back gently booping her nose. The small laugh she let out warming his heart. Felix crotched down so that she could climb on his back. Felix would be lying to himself if he said he didn't enjoy the way her arms would tighten around his neck she she would bury her face in his shoulder whenever he would run her anywhere. Just as they were getting closer to their destination Felix ran into an ally as not to draw suspicion to the pair as they were now in a big city. It would be hard to explain to the humans how they just appeared out of nowhere.

"Now close your eyes and trust me" He spoke softly as she jumped down from his back. He pulled her in close to his side and placed a cool hand around her waist. Not only did Felix not want to lose her in the mildly congested crowd, but he also wanted her to feel safe on their way.

He wouldn't let her fall on his watch.

"You're definitely not kidnapping me right Fe?" She joked nuzzling into his side "Cause we have come along way from home just to end up in an ally"

"Now hush you" Felix smiled back "I am for a fact not arousing suspicion" His tone lighthearted and open. They made idle chat as they slowly strolled down the path Felix was taking them. Once they had gotten to the intended building Felix gently pulled her to the side to reveal his plan for the day.

"You can open your eyes now" He whispered in her ear as not to startle her as she then slowly peeled away from his embrace. She opened her eyes and turned her gaze towards their intended location before her eyes lit up in excitement.

"We're going skating?" The look of genuine childlike wonder on her face alone made the whole trip worth it. Felix remembered that during one of their late-night conversations Lilith had said she enjoyed ice-skating as a child, however lost the time to do so as she grew up. She held a particularly fond memory of Charlie taking her to an ice rink once when he got a weekend off from his job as sheriff after René had allowed for her to visit him. Not long after that visit Lilith was sent away to boarding school and didn't get much time with him during the years afterwards.

Felix wanted to bring back some of those fond memories and create more of their own before they would be back in Italy on constant missions for the Volturi. And maybe just maybe Felix wanted to catch her if she stumbled, like her own personal hero. Not that he would ever admit it out loud. There was always a benefit in holding an inhuman amount of balance and grace.

The inside of the building was naturally chilly not that Felix could tell. However, he made sure to wrap his mate in his scarf and a spare pair of gloves so that she wouldn't get cold. Once on the rink, he could only describe Lilith's movements like that of a newborn deer. Though as adorable as she looked trying to stabilise herself on the ice after such a long time it would be cruel of him to just leave her to struggle.

Taking her hand Felix pulled her closer to him so that she could balance herself on him.

"Don't worry I'm not gonna let you fall"

"You better not mister" She joked in reply, tightening her arm around his own. As they began their journey around the rink Lilith slowly began to gain confidence in her ability to stand up on her own. A small part of Felix subconscious wished that he could stay in this moment forever. His mate was happy and laughing. Happy and laughing because of him, and they could just spend the hours together with no missions, no responsibilities and no one else to bother them.

To bring an end to the day Felix had taken them deep into the forest past both the Cullen's and pack's territories so that they could speak privately without interruption from either clans. The forest was much more serene in the deeper parts of the woods as the animals did not fear the golden-eyed covens eating habits and run on sight.

Once there Felix pulled Lilith to sit on his lap and wrapped his far too large for her cloak around her shoulders. "I have something for you" he announced pulling a sleek looking black box out of his jacket pocket.

"You didn't have to get me anything Fe" She blushed with an appreciative smile on her face.

"I know, but if it's not too much, I want you to have this" As she delicately opened the box her eyes widened. It was a Volturi crest necklace, matching the one that Felix wears.

"Felix it's beautiful, thank you so much" She delicately lifted the necklace out of the box before putting it on.

"How did you end up with the Volturi in the first place?" She asked curious to know.

"I was born sometime during the first Punic war in Rome. Unfortunately, though I was a slave to the empire and due to my size and stature growing up I was forced into gladiatorial fights as soon as I had the strength to wield a sword. Those who went and spent their whole life training in Rome felt like they were worth more than us slaves and like they were entitled to win their games and much to the disdain of the gladiators who went to school and trained I just kept winning. Game after game after game. Eventually, I bought my freedom from my master however, I still chose to fight, but this time I was contracted as a fighter under my own terms. However, life became monotonous and lonely, yes I had friends and such but every night I was always alone.no matter what riches or land I had my life was always missing something.

Not long after the rise of my fame in the colosseum, I was brought to talk to a strange pale man named Aro and he promised me that I could have the one thing I wanted most. He told me that his brother Marcus could sense bonds between people and that by joining them I would have a mate that I could love and would love me too, Aro also believed that due to my physicality as a human that I would pass on a gift into my life reborn and I had. I am much stronger and faster than the average vampire, something Aro finds great benefit in by making me executioner so that is how I joined the Volturi.

My entire life I was told that I would have rewards greater than I could ever imagine, by emperors, generals and lords and Lady Victoria has bestowed upon me the greatest gift that I could ever receive."

His cool hands had come to rest gently on either side of her face, as she leant into his touch. Felix slowly yet purposefully brought her face closer to his as he brought her into a sweet kiss.

AN: I firstly want to sincerely apologise for how long it took for me to write this update. I never planned to take this long to ever write an update after committing to a more regular schedule and I hope to never take this long to write an update again. However, my uni work got quite hectic and I didn't have enough time to write and hopefully, I have now gotten to a place where I can continue to write fairly frequently.

Secondly, I know that canonically Felix does not have any gifts in the books/movies but I thought it would be more interesting if he had one.

Thank you for reading and having patience with me~
