Jasper knew it was bad. He was a married man vampire. He loved Alice but it was more in a way a brother loved his sister. She was not his mate and they both knew it. Neither of them had found their mates and they were both lonely. They had been content with each other's companionship for a long time. However, things changed when Alice, Edward, and Bella came back from the Volturri. There was a lingering scent on all of them that called to him. They could not tell him who it belonged to and it tore the blonde apart. It was Demetri who searched him out a month later. The scent belonged to the tracker.

There were several problems with this. Demetri was not a vegetarian; Jasper was. Demetri lived in Italy; Jasper moved every few years. Jasper was done with fighting; Demetri was a hunter and tracker. They were not supposed to see each other. As strong, powerful arms wrapped around him and held him tight, Jasper could not help but think that none of that mattered. Enveloped by the feeling love radiating from his mate, he knew they would work past their problems. For now both of them were happier than they had ever been and their dead hearts were whole.
