The Other Swan Girl

Chapter 17

Rosa's POV
I kept fiddling with my snake bite piercing as I packed up my things and got ready to move into the Volturi castle.

Everything had been arranged so I would go to college and get my bachelors degree. I was nervous and fiddling with my piercings which were slowly becoming agitated. I decided to just take them out to clean them and my piercing holes. I don't know why I'm so nervous, I've been so happy since accepting the kings as my mates and I'm glad that the pack approved of them.

There's no need for me to turn because I can use my spiritual powers to become immortal or reincarnate myself. So I can remain human and eat and sleep. My mates love and accept me and I them. So why am I so anxious?

I'm knocked out of my thoughts when Marcus says "Amour? I think your facial earrings are clean enough" I pause and look down to see my sparkling piercings in my hands. I nervously chuckle and try to play it off "Thanks, sweetie, I didn't even realize that I was still cleaning them" I went to the bathroom mirror and carefully reapplied my piercings.

Marcus frowned and followed me "Amour...listen I know that big changes like this are scary, but we will be with you every step of the way" I glanced at him through the mirror and my lips twitched upwards "Thanks, Marcus" he nods "Of course, may I ask why you got all these tattoos and piercings in the first place? Not that we mind them, but they are very....." he reached up and began tracing the tattoo on my spine "unique. Caius is especially fond of your tongue piercing and your rose tattoo. Aro loves your nipple piercings and your swans" I looked at him and asked "And which do you like?" He seems flustered as he answers "Your ears..."

I raised a brow and turn around "Is that why you keep nibbling on my ears and trying to put hickeys behind them?" He sputters for a moment before abruptly changing the subject "You never answered my question!" I snicker 'I totally don't plan on using this for leverage later on.'

I turn back around and place my nose ring back in before saying "I got them as a teenager because I felt like I couldn't control how my body looked. Boys kept harassing me because my boobs came in and I just wanted something that I felt was pretty on me.....so I got my ears pierced. Then one thing led to another..." "And now you've completed your masterpiece?" I give him a crooked smile and say "Not yet. I just need a few more tattoos..."

He gave me a curious look before saying "Well it's your body, you can do whatever you want with it. We'll support you" I smiled and turned around before kissing his cheek "Thank you, darling."

The next day I went and got two more tattoos on each of my upper arms.

I had officially moved into the Volturi castle! I was in the middle of unpacking when I heard a knock on my door.

Confused, I walk over to answer it and see Jane along with four other women waiting for me expectantly.

I raised a brow "Can I....help you?" I asked Jane quickly introduced me to everyone before saying "We came to help you unpack" I nodded and stepped aside allowing them in.

They immediately set to work making me chuckle in amusement before walking over to help them. We chatted and it's safe to say that I made friends or shopping buddies at least. We plan to all go shopping since Jane, Corin, and Renata rarely leave the castle. A lightbulb went off in my head and I asked "Are there any stores for piercings and tattoos?" They all exchanged looks before nodding.

I smirked and said "Perfect."
