"Sir, she has arrived," my second in command informed to me.
"Thank you, Peter, send her to her room." I ordered, not even turning my chair around to look at him.
Of course my little girl is here. I asked for her. I paid for her. As far as I am concerned, that means she is mine. I've watched her from afar for years now. Sixteen years, if you want to be specific about it. The day of her birth was the day my world turned upside down. Ever since her birth, my life revolved around her. I got used to turning down human blood, for her. I haven't touched another woman in sixteen years, for her. I settled down in this small, homey town, for HER. And now I was going to see it was worth it.
She was unique, and not just because she was born into a vampire coven. It was a miracle in its self that she was even here. Born on September thirteenth, a month before her due date, she was a tiny little thing. Weighing 5 pounds 0 ounces and being only 16 inches, we were all scared for her life. Carlisle and Esme were my closest friends, but at that moment I was angry that they even experimented this. This was not supposed to happen in our world, but somehow it did. And when I held her for the first time, I saw in her eyes her determination to live. And that is what made me love her. That look in her milk chocolate eyes that screamed "I want to conquer. I'm going to live."
Carlisle knew before I did, that little Isabella was my mate. I felt sorry for the girl. I'm one strict man. I mean I am Major Jasper Whitlock. I didn't have time to comfort and raise a little girl the way she would need. That is why I let Carlisle and Esme have her, until now. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with a human girl. I really wanted her after she was changed, but due to a series of unfortunate events, she is with me. The Voltouri killed Carlisle and his wife for not handing over the girl. I don't blame them. The girl would strengthen the Voltouri more than they could ever know.
I didn't want Bella in foster care, waiting for the Voltouri to come after her, so I had her kidnapped from the state's custody. It will look like she is a runaway, but does it matter? No, I've done worse in my life time. Stealing a little girl is a petty crime, in my book.
"Sir, a letter has been sent." Peter said, handing me an envelope
I took it from his hands and dismissed him without a word. I tore open the envelope and read:
Dear Jasper,
If you are reading this, our plans have been altercated. It also means that you have her in your custody. I'd never trust her with anybody else. However, you may need to know some things about our dear Bella.
Despite your orders, we raised her as every little girl should be raised. I know you wanted her to be strong and ready to take on anything, but we thought that should really be your job. We found your way of raising a child as too… standoffish. So we raise her as we saw fit. And yes, she was very spoiled over the years. But she doesn't ask for much, so it shouldn't be an issue. You'll find it very difficult to tell her no anyway.
She has bipolar issues. I know you are an empath, but you cannot lose your temper about her mood swings. She doesn't mean anything by her swings, it just happens. So try and refrain yourself.
She's beautiful as you can see. But she doesn't seem to see it. She has a problem with eating in front of people. We blame ourselves, since we don't ever eat in front of her. Please make sure she takes care of herself properly.
I know all of this is sudden and I don't expect you and her to get along right away, but I do know you'll love her as much, if not more, as we do.
Sincerely,
Carlisle and Esme Cullen
"Bullshit." I growled, crumbling the letter.
This little girl was going to know her place. I am Major Whitlock! What I say goes! She may have been pampered and spoiled for all these years, but now it's time for me to step in and teach her how to be my wife. She will be orderly, healthy, loyal, trustworthy and obedient. If she breaks my rules, well she'll have a nice sore bottom to sit on for a couple days. I will prepare Bella for our eternity. Starting today.
