' she loved her life when they were in it '

AFTER ARO VOLTURI, THE LEADER of the world's dangerous vampire coven, explained why the room was sacred, Sofia Denali understood but continued to visit the butterflies every single day. There wasn't a day where Sofia didn't see the butterflies, even when the girl got married to the three kings and witch twins.

Only the members of the Volturi and Sofia's friends and family came. They all accepted their relationship, which improved and grew every single day.

The five were smitten with their hybrid blonde mate, a girl that hated them for killing her twin sister but also loved them for themselves. After having that nightmare of them disappearing, Sofia begun took accept their bond and was happy she did because she would have never had the best time of her life. None of this would have happened if she never got that nightmare of the five disappearing.

Today was the six mates' anniversary. All the people at the wedding were invited to a ball they were throwing.

"Are you ready?" Rosalie asked as she curled the final strand of Sofia's hair. The hybrid nodded, a smile on her face as she put on her pink dress.

"Why exactly is the dress pink?" Alice asked as she came in, a look of disgust on her face.

"Well, our mum wore this dress on her anniversary," Sofia told her, a small smile on her face as she recalled how beautiful their mother looked when she wore this.

"How long ago was this?" Sofia shrugged, and Alice bit her lip. "Don't we have another dress? It's beautiful and all but it's old." Alice whined, not liking the look as she pouted.

"It's the only dress we have." The future seer groaned. Sofia laughed, getting up only to hear a rip. Her eyes widened before she glanced down, only to see that the dress was stuck to the table and when she got up, it ripped. Her eyes began to water.

"My dress." A tear fell from her eyes.

"Oh, my." Rosalie brought her into a hug. "Don't worry, we can fix this," Rosalie reassured as Tanya looked at the dress.

"We can help." Raising her head, Sofia heard the familiar voice of Blue.

"Blue?" The butterfly flew to Sofia's face, hitting her face, showing affection. The girls in the room were confused but realised Sofia was talking to the butterfly. "Can you really help?" The butterfly laughed, nodding. Sofia got out of Rosalie's embrace and took a step back.

Butterflies from all over came, flying around Sofia. The blonde giggled as they laughed, the hybrid twirling around as they danced around her. The vampires in the room were in awe; their jaws opened as they saw Sofia's ugly pink dress change into a magnificent blue dress.

Sofia looked down and saw that the butterflies were being added to her dress. She was in awe.

A pair of surprisingly comfy glass heels adorned her feet with two butterflies flying and placing themselves on the top part of the shoe.

Sofia cried out in joy, happiness. "Oh, thank you, Blue." The butterfly smiled, kissing her before planting on the top part of the dress.

"You look gorgeous!" Alice squealed as she hugged the girl. Sofia giggled, and the girls left, all going to change and then going downstairs.

The blonde hybrid smiled widely, happiness spreading through her body. She exited her room, making her way to the ballroom. She came upon a set of double door and opened it, walking through.

Everyone fell silent as they gazed upon the beauty that descended the stairs. Everyone was in awe, the girl walking elegantly down the stairs with a smile that brightened up everything, one that matched that of angels.

The clicking of her heels added rhythm to the soft classical music that played onward without pause. Her eyes scanned the room with determination in search of someone when her eyes met their's, she smiled. So beautiful it was like the stars themselves, decided to rest behind the soft cushion of her lips.

She walked towards the five awestruck vampires. Their mouth opens as she walked gracefully.

"Do I look okay?" Sofia asked, her voice quiet as a blush coated her face.

"You look marvellous, darling," Alec said, stroking her cheek. Sofia smiled, her pearly white teeth showing.

"Come dance with me." The hybrid slipped her hand into Alec's, and the two began to dance. Sofia danced with all her mates, happiness radiating off of her.

Sofia Denali finally found her happily ever after. And even if her twin wasn't here, she knew that this is what Irina would have wanted. Her baby twin sister to be happy and live her life to the fullest.

"I love you, dear sister." A voice whispered as a faded figure glanced at the dancing queen with a pair of loving gold eyes. "Forever and Always."
