Chapter Text
Only a few years after his transformation into a vampire, Aro came across a witch. A witch more powerful than any he had ever known, even through the eyes of others. When their eyes met, he knew instantly that she was meant for him, that his soul belonged to her from that moment to eternity. He changed her soon after, their bond fully snapping into place the moment she opened her beautiful blood red eyes.
For centuries, they stood by each others side, madly in love and equal in their ambition and greed. She completed him; his other half, his soulmate. He’s never known love like he did during that period of his life. She was there when he found his brothers, during the battle against the Romanians, when they formed the Volturi. He still remembers how she looked in the throws of battle, the image not having faded even millennia later.
But one day, there had been a quiet siege on the palazzo, and they were caught unaware. The Romanians had sent spies into their fortress to topple them from the inside, and they had almost succeeded, but his guard was far too talented and destroyed them easily. He lost both his mate and his sister that day.
His rage and sorrow consumed him. The only thing keeping him alive was the need for revenge. Until this day, he hasn’t been able to catch them, and it enrages him like nothing else.
The crippling ache in his chest has never eased, not for a single moment. A piece of his soul was carved out of his body and turned to ash, never to be returned. He’ll never love another, never take another to bed. He belongs to her, he always will, till the end of time.
His misery has only amplified over the years, turning him into a volatile, sadistic, shell of a man. Prone to mood swings ranging anywhere from uncontrollable rage to bouts of unimaginable depression, he rules the Volturi with an iron fist and a mind that is leading him down the path of insanity. Millennia of his gift and never ending anguish are bound to catch up with him.
He will find the ones that stole his life, his very soul, and he will make them feel unimaginable pain. And when he avenges them both, he’ll return to them in the afterlife.
