~Raven's POV~

"Are you ready, our love?" I turned my head to see my handsome and beautiful mates all dressed up. Felix, Demetri and Alec were wearing very nice tuxedos, Jane was wearing a simple but dramatic short black dress. Alec and Jane held my sleeping babies in their arm.

"Yes." I answered. "Let's do this."

Matteo then woke up and made grabby hands towards me. I smiled as I took my baby boy from Alec and held him.

"Mommy's pretty." Matteo says.

"Aw, thank you my handsome boy. You have grown up very handsome." I reply.

"He gets that from me." Felix, Demetri and Alec said in unison which made Matteo, Jane and I bust out laughing.

"If it helps you sleep at night." Matteo teased, which made Jane and I laugh harder.

"Yeah, laugh it up." Alec rolled his eyes as he brought me Matteo's jacket.
Matteo

"Remember, baby, you need to behave while you are with my friends and family, okay. While your fathers and mother takes me to see some friends today." I instructed.

"Yes, mommy. But I will protect my sisters." Matteo replies.

"I promise you, my baby boy, that won't be necessary. These friends of mine are just as protective as you." I say.

"Okay, mommy. If you trust them then that's okay." Matteo replies.

I smiled then put his jacket on him. We exit from our hotel room and got to our car. I wished for cloudy weather so we could be outside. Felix drove us to the res.

As we arrived outside of Emily's house. I exclaimed to get their attention.

"Raven?!" Sam came outside to see me. He rushed over and pulled me into a hug.

"Raven!" The pack shouted as they rushed out and hugged me as well.

"We missed you." Seth said.

"I missed you guys too. I have a surprise for you." I replied.

"These are my daughters, Sarah and Ellie." I introduced as my baby girls woke up and made the pack go 'awe'. "And this is my son, Matteo."

"Hi." Matteo waved his hand shyly as he clung close to me.

"It's okay, my baby boy. These are my best friends I told you about." I said.

"So, this is Sam?" Matteo asks.

"Yep. He is the alpha of the pack. His members are Jared, Paul, Embry, Jacob, Quil, Seth and Leah. Lastly, this is Emily, Sam's fiancé." I answered.

"They are so adorable." Emily says.

"So, how long are you staying in town?" Jacob asks.

"Just for the wedding. Then, I will be heading back for Volterra. I wish I could stay longer, but I am on a mission. I will try to visit soon after." I answered.

"I wish you could stay longer." Seth says.

"I know. I do too. But, I can't risk going through that again." I reply. He hugged me, which felt really nice.

"Will you stay for dinner? The wedding doesn't start till later and there won't be many guests. Just the Denali's." Sam asks.

"The who?" I ask back.

"The Denali coven up in Alaska." Alec answers.

"Oh. Will they stay out of our way or will they try to interfere?" I asked.

"They have be told to stay out of the way, love." Demetri answered.

"Good. My plan will succeed then." I reply.

"So, let's go inside, shall we?" Emily asks.

"Why thank you, Emily." I answered.

Going inside, I set the girls carriers down, as Seth and Leah played with them. Jared and Paul were tickling Matteo.

"So how have you been?" Emily asks as I helped her with the food. These boys sure can eat.

"I have been recovering still. I especially enjoyed the honeymoon." I answered.

"You got married?!" They asked in disbelief. I rolled my eyes.

"I wanted you guys to come, believe me. But with the guest list, you should be thanking me that I left you guys off it." I said to them.

"Guest list?" Leah asks.

"Let's just say, all of you would have shifted the second you entered the castle." I answered with sas.

"Point taken." Jared replies.

"So, who walked you down the aisle?" Sam asks.

"Marcus. He has been such a father figure to me." I answered.

"How has Charlie been?" I asked, frozen.

"He's been missing you like crazy. Been shoving himself into work so he doesn't worry about you. He loved your graduation pics." Jacob answered.

I fought back my tears as I felt a small hug on my leg. I looked down to see Matteo about to cry. I picked him up and held him close. Sam brought me down to the table as my mates stood by me. I missed Charlie, but I have to let him go. If I try to keep in contact with him, he'll only end up dead. I won't let him die because of me.

"Will he be at the wedding?" I ask.

"No. Bella has cut him out of his life since he refused her request to search for her mother." Jacob answers.

"Oh, poor thing, I bet she's just a wreck." I reply with a smirk.

"I know that look, what did you do?" Paul asks.

"I may have had a hand in Renee Dwyer's disappearance. Or should I say death." I answer.

"You didn't?! You badass." Leah said.

"I did. I found out that she wasn't my birth mom, so I made her pay. I won't let anyone take advantage of me again." I replied.

"That's my girl." Sam said making me smile.

"So, what exactly is your plan? Crash Bella's wedding?" Seth asked, innocently.

"Did no one tell this boy my plan?" I ask sassy as I felt myself coming back.

"We wanted him to remain calm in case he shifted." Leah answered sorrowful as she gave a 'I'm sorry' look to her brother.

"Seth, Bella isn't getting married. Edward and his real mate are. My plan is to have her guard down long enough for us to grab her, take her prisoner, I use my gift on her, then she and Alice are my puppets forever." I explained.

"Wait, so, the reason she's been on edge lately, is because Alice was missing. Which I assume was your doing?" Jacob asks.

"Yep. She is currently under watchful eyes back at the castle thanks to the badass queens and Heidi. She isn't going anywhere." I answered.

"Wait, the queens that you mentioned that were locked away for their safety. Why are they watching Alice?" Embry asks.

"Because, while I was pregnant with Matteo, I gave the queens the ability to have kids. They have been very helpful to me ever since we found out I was pregnant. And, since my kidnapping, they've been bitches to anyone who hurts me. So, they volunteered to watched over Alice in case she breaks free, which the kings agreed to since they threatened to ground them if they even tried to keep them away." I explained.

"Damn." Everyone muttered which made me smile as I took Matteo over to the girls and played with them.

Spending hours with the pack, I explained Matteo's picky diet since they were worried about his blood line. But after a short conversation and some play time, they love him just like my mates and I. They even shifted when Matteo asks them questions. He was ecstatic and begged us to let him get one of their backs.

Promising to be careful, Felix lifted Matteo up and onto Jared's back. He walked around, then took off running, Jacob and Sam shifted after him so they could keep an eye on him.

As I was setting up Netflix for the girls they played with Leah and Emily.

"I will be trying to get you guys to visit in Italy. I promise. But I just want everyone to be safe and have no risks to injury. So, that's gonna take some time." I said as I prepared some fruit and dip.

"Why not just meet somewhere out of the castle?" Leah asks.

"Because, protection is the Volturi's key practice. They'd need a covered area with some food supply as well. The castle is the only place they have territory. Plus, it's hard to gain territory while also following your own rules." I explain.

"I'm sorry." Leah says.

"No need. I already have a plan that includes no rule breaking." I reply as I walk over with the food. The boys come back and Matteo ranted forever about how it felt and said we should try it. But I told him that Sarah and Ellie are not old enough or strong enough. And I promised that we will one day, but not right now. After eating some food and getting them changed, Sarah and Ellie were out like a light as Matteo was fighting us.

"But who's going to watch over us. We're not home!" Matteo exclaimed but then I covered his mouth to avoid waking up his sisters.

"Honey, I told you. I don't want you there in case the bad woman tries something on you or your sisters. That's why your staying here under the scent cover of Leah and Emily. with their scents strong, no one will know you're here. I want you to be safe, while I take this bitch down." I said to him. "Now, go to sleep. And by the time you wake up, you'll be back in your nice warm bed and I'll be right there when you wake up." I kissed his head as he fell asleep.

"Okay, prince is down, time to crash the party." I whispered as I flashed outside.

Checking my hair and then placing my crown back on my head, I smile as my mates and I flash to the Cullen house.

"Oh, Raven, you look beautiful. And I love your eyes." Rosalie greets me. I hugged her as Jasper and Emmett come out as well as Esme and Carlisle.

"We have missed you, so much, little Rave." Emmett says as he picked me up and spun me around.

"It's good to see you guys as well. Is my little toy having fun?" I ask.

"You mean if she's been a total bitch since your kidnapping, then yes." Rosalie answered which made us chuckle at her anger.

"Well, soon enough you won't have to deal with her anymore. She's about to become my bitch." I reply as Jane brought out my gift wrapped gift.

"Is that what I think it is?" Carlisle asked.

"Unfortunately, yes. But trust me, it's been worth it." I answered.

"Rosalie, Esme, can you help me with my hair and dress?!" I cringed hearing her horrible voice echo through the house.

"See what I've had to deal with since you executed your plan." Rosalie grumbled as the three of us flashed upstairs. I stayed outside as they went inside.

"Thank god, I can't reach the zipper." She whimpers, like a baby. I could feel Rosalie holding back her eye roll.

"Don't worry, you are going to look great." Rosalie replies.

"I want to look fabulous. After all, I need to get Edward's mind off that slut that took him from me. And soon, my plans will finally bring this family happiness." Bella says.

"I think this family is already happy." I spoke, turning the corner.

She turned around, her face was paler than her normal ugliness.

"What are you doing here?!" She asks.

"I'm here for revenge. And my plan is about to end. You can come out now. The wedding is about to start." I answered as Edward's mate came out, stood next to me in her wedding dress.

"Why is this whore here?! She's not supposed to be here." Bella screeched.

"She is here for her wedding. You know, the one I planned while pretending to be Alice. Oh, don't worry, she's still alive, but she's my puppet. I've been the one who's helped you plan your wedding. And right now, I am giving you my gift." I said as I held out her gift.

She hesitantly took it. And when she opened it, I smirked as she screamed in fear.

"Who— what—?" Bella stuttered, afraid.

"I'm sorry our mom — wait, I mean, your mom, couldn't be here. She's a little tied up at the moment. She's currently in hell." I said.

"You bitch! How could you? You killed our mom!" She sobbed.

"No, I had your mom killed. Aro kindly did a little research and found out who my real mom is after he read your mind. She unfortunately couldn't be there for my wedding in Italy, but she's currently on her way to meet my kids. I finally get to meet the woman who really brought me into this world." I replied not affected by her emotions. "While taking you out of it."

"You are a sick person, you bitch! I will make you pay for this!" She said as she tried to lunge at me, but then was then held back by Rosalie.

"What are you doing? Let me go?!" Bella stopped struggling as Rosalie gripped her tighter.

"You are not going anywhere. In fact, when you wake up, you'll realize that you've lost. Everything." I said as I adjust my shoulder strapped.

"What are you say—"

She suddenly lost consciousness and was dropped to the floor.

"Really?" We asked.

"What, she was heavy." Rosalie says playing innocent as she picked up her arm and dragged her lazily out of the room.

I sat the real bride in the chair and finished her makeup before we walked out of the room.

"Carlisle, would you kindly get Eleazar so he can walk this bride down the aisle?" I asked.

"Of course." Carlisle answered as I turned to the bride.

"I will be waiting with the others. You will do just fine." I said.

"Actually, I was wondering... if you'd walk me down the aisle instead?" She asks.

"Why me?" I ask back.

"Because, none of this would be happening if it weren't for you. I'm sad that my parents couldn't be here with me, but you... you're like family to me. I have you to thank for everything. Please?" She explains/asks.

"I'd be honored." I answer.

Soon enough, the song came as everyone looked at us. We smiled as Edward smiles at his mate. Even walking someone down the aisle was nerve wracking.

As I stood up at the alter to give her away, I turned to Edward.

"Never, ever let her go." I threatened him.

"I promise." He replied.

I smiled as I took my place next to my mates as the ceremony began.

As soon as they sealed their vows with a kiss, I smiled 'innocently' as Jasper caught the bouquet. I winked at him as I gave him a 24 hour clock. He smiled at me and stole me away from my mates as the dancing started.

"You made a wish for me, didn't you?" He asks.

"I have no idea what your talking about. I mean, it could be a coincidence that you might meet someone as you go on a short trip to see your old friends down in Texas. Who knows what could happen." I answered as he smirked at me.

"You little minx. I owe you, Raven." Jasper says.

"No you don't. You just deserve happiness." I reply as I felt someone behind me.

"Forgive me, but may we have this dance, please?" I turned my head to see Demetri.

"Of course. I was just being very thankful for an old friend." Jasper smiled as I then started to dance with me.

"That was nice, what you did for him." He says.

"I owed him. I had this feeling since they first arrived in Forks that he was unhappy, and Alice was the source. I became friends with everyone of the Cullen's, and he was the best friend I could ever ask for. When I needed help with anything, he would always drop everything and rush over with his siblings." I reply.

"Oh, the holy lord did such a good job when he made you." Demetri whispers as he leaned his face into my neck.

"And I must have been a good girl since I found the four most important people into my life." I whisper as he placed a kiss upon my neck.

"It's really over. Oh, god." I whimper as I felt myself nearly crying.

"What's wrong, our love? Please don't cry." Demetri says, rubbing my back.

"It's just.... It's all over. Alice and Bella are prisoners, Jasper and Edward are happy, and I finally feel the darkness and rage in my soul is cleansed. And it's all thanks to you four. My mates." I reply, earning a group hug.

"We are glad you feel better, Raven. We hated seeing you sad after we rescued you, it hurt us. Even though you were not gone that long, we hated finding you like that that day. It nearly broke us." Felix says.

"Oh, my handsome and beautiful mates, you will never have to see me like that again. I promise." I reply to them then gave each of them a kiss.

Once everyone got seated then served the cake, I wished that they could eat this once. Waving goodbye to Edward and his mate, I prayed they'd have a safe trip as my mates came back to me.

"The package is ready for transport. All we need to do is grab the kids then board the jet." Alec says.

I sigh. "Let's get this over with. I'll see you guys around."

Waving goodbye, we left the Cullen house and made our way to the reservation. I had them stay in the car as I went inside.

"Hi, Raven. How was it?" Emily asks as Sam opened his eyes and stood up from the pile of shape shifters sleeping in the living room.

"Fine, for your average wedding. Are my babies still asleep?" I ask.

"Yep. We just put Matteo down. He really wanted to stay awake till you got home, but then Sam and I gave him some warm milk which knocked him right out." She answers as Sam kissed her scar then her cheek.

"You have to leave?" Sam asks, I give a sad smile.

"Unfortunately yes. But I did promise that I will stay in touch." I answer as Emily helped me carry the girls as I carried Matteo out to our car.

Hugging them one last time, I get in the car sitting between Alec and Jane as Felix drove and Demetri sat in the very back with the kids.

I sadly waved goodbye as we drove away from the pack house and to Seattle's airport.

~time skip ~

I felt something heavy pounce on the bed. I let out a 'oof' when I opened my eyes seeing its Matteo.

"Morning, buddy. Did you sleep good?" I asked as Jane and Alec greet me with breakfast in bed.

"Yeah! There was this awesome party and the pack was there, and so was the fam! It was so awesome I didn't want to wake up." He answers.

I sighed as this day was mine.

Alice and Bella were my prisoners locked in a dungeon. I had Matteo, Sarah and Ellie. The queens are ready to give birth, and the kings have really made me fell at home here in Volterra along with my mates.

Life shouldn't change.

Little did I know that a mistake was about to be made.
