Hey everyone, I'm back to update just like I said I would and I have to say, I was most pleased by the incoming reviews, they really boosted my spirits after having been so sick for almost two weeks with a horrible stomach ulcer. I always am very appreciative of reviews, but this time it was ten fold, thanks to all whom reviewed.

Here is the update. Enjoy!

Chapter 2

I shivered with dread as Jagger pulled me into his arms and pressed soft kisses to my cheek and down my neck, this was wrong, it was supposed to be Alexander kissing me like this, it was supposed to be Alexander whom I would call my husband, not Jagger!

"We'll be leaving for Romaina tomorrow night at sunset" Jagger purred against my throat, his tongue snaking out to lick across where he'd bitten me "I cannot have Sterling interrupting our newly wedded bliss, now can I? Don't worry, you'll like it in Romaina"

"I hate you" I murmured fervently.

"And I have you" He replied, lifting his white n' red haired head to give me that grin of victory.

"Where are we?" I asked him, trying to keep myself from hitting him, he was probably much stronger than me.

"Hipsterville as you call it" he replied "You slept the entire time, the change must have been exhausting on you, my love"
"I am not your love!" I growled angrily "You stole me from Alexander against my will, that is not love!"

Jagger merely shrugged "I couldn't care, you're mine and that all that matters now. You'll have to get it through your head that Alexander can't save you this time, you are now another vampire's eternal partner, mine"

It hurt to realize it, but he was right, Alexander wouldn't be able to come and save me, he no longer had the right to, I belonged to someone else now and there was nothing anyone could do about it, not even me.

"You best put all your effort into making your eternity with me pleasant" Jagger said, interrupting my thoughts "It doesn't have to be miserable, you and I could be very happy together and I think you know this, you have always known it, ever since the first time we met, you felt that connection between us, that pull"

I felt like dirt right now for thinking that he was right in a way, I felt like I was betraying Alexander, but then... I no longer had a future with Alexander, did I? As painful as it would be, I had to let go of Alexander and embrace Jagger, for the sake of my happiness, I had no choice.

"It will take me awhile to forgive you for what you have done..." I began "You'll have to give me time"

Jagger paused a moment and then nodded "We have all the time in the world now"

I nodded and looked away, fixing my stare on the wall blankly 'Alexander... Please forgive me...'

I felt Jagger slip a finger beneath my chin and turn my face towards his and he said before pressing his lips to mine "Welcome to eternity, Mrs. Maxwell"

******************

Alexander sat helpless before his Grandmother's monument, his face distraught with grief, he had been too late and Jagger had won.

Raven... Poor Raven... She had been innocent in all of this... It wasn't right...

"I'm so sorry, Raven, wherever he's taken you, I'm so sorry" He murmured softly to the night "You will always be my true love, I hope you know that, I'll carry you in my heart forever, I am just so sorry I couldn't stop him, I pray you can forgive me someday"

He sighed and looked up towards the full moon "Why? Didn't we love each other enough? Didn't we deserve each other? Is this some sort of sick punishment unto one of us? I just don't understand how such beautiful and true love can be ripped apart this way"

Standing up from the ground and brushing off his jeans, Alexander brushed away the lone tear sliding down his face, forcing himself not to replay the night's events in his head another time, then turned and left the graveyard as quickly as he could.

There ya go everyone, I will update again soon and please make sure to review, they do warm my heart so much. Forgive the Alexander scene too, it was necessary, I couldn't ignore Alexander and how he had to be feeling right now, it just seemed wrong to do so, but this will be his only appearance in the story, he won't be showing up again.

Anyway, see you all again very soon!
