Disclaimer: I own nothing but Regina.
Life could make you want to pull out your hair, but you continue on anyway.
Regina blinked once, twice, thrice then she sighed rubbing her temples, annoyance slowly taking over her features. "So, you're telling me your also my mate but you just decided to deny our bond?" Jasper didn't respond at first. He just sat on the couch staring up at her. "Why?" She finally decided to ask after about three minutes of absolute silence.
"I didn't think ya would want someone like me." She snorted at his words, rolling her eyes, her annoyance growing. "Alright first thing first, if you are my mate I'm not dealing with any emo shit, I despise people who pity themselves. I won't be throwing you a pity party and you need to stop throwing your own."
Caius released a bark of laughter, Aro and Marcus both chuckling as Jasper sighed. "Caius said somethin' pretty similar there darlin'." Regina turned to Caius with a grin, "On a scale of one to ten, how well did you handle this news?"
Caius shrugged, thoughtfully peering at his mate. "I had contemplated grinding him into dusk then scattering his pieces to the four corners of this earth." Regina chuckled, walking over then plopping herself down on Caius's lap. "That would be sup's sexy if you weren't talking about my mate and your soul brother Caius."
He just released a purr as she ran her hand through his hair. Jasper watching them silently, Bella had retreated to her room with Jane and Alec to let them have some privacy. Felix standing guard out in the forest, Aro and Marcus on the phone so they could gauge her reaction.
Jasper went stock still as she turned her gaze to look at him. "Are you and Alice divorced?" He smiled, it was small. "Ain't no need to darlin' she got married to Jasper Hale over fifty years ago."
Regina hummed at him, nodding in understanding. "Well, you can be my mate then." His eyebrow went to his hairline at the way she phrased it. Like fate hadn't tied them together. "Oh, don't give me that look, as far as I'm concerned you lost the right to call it fate's hand when you tried to resist the bond." His entire face fell at her words.
"Ill spend the rest of eternity apologizin' if I have to." Regina waved him off. "Lets not go that far, I'll settle for the next millennium or so." Her voice was joking but he still took it seriously. Suddenly kneeling in front of her with her hand in his hand. Kissing the back of it as he stared into her eyes. "As long as it takes." It was a promise, Regina blinked twice in shock.
Then she closed her eyes and nodded, deciding that hey, the hell not right? She was already tied to three vampires what's one more? Jasper can just go right on ahead and join the party.
"I've taken care of everything, I'm going to spend a day with Charlie, then Bella, then I will be home." An intake of breath on the other side of the phone followed her words. "You've already handled everything?" Marcus asked, he was amazed that she had already taken care of all her affairs.
Regina hummed, "Well, I figured the quicker I got done the quicker I could get home." She shrugged, three purr's followed her words and she was soon crushed to Caius's chest. "Italy is your home?: Regina frowned shaking her head. "No." The purr's stopped but she continued before they could respond.
"Home is a place where people care about you, home is my mom's house in Texas, surrounded by my siblings, home is here with Bella and Charlie, Home is wherever you guys are." The purr's started up once again and Jasper finally spoke, voice confused. "I thought your mom was in jail?"
Regina stiffened, eyed snapping down to stare at Jasper, "No, Angelic is, that women will never be my mom, she is mother by birth nothing more." she shook her head at Jasper, "Martha was more of ah mother then that bitch, which says a lot cause Martha was horrid."
Regina wrinkled her nose distastefully, shaking her head in revolution at the thought, at the mere idea that women was a mom, she was a mother. In her book there was a huge difference between a mother and a mom.
Jasper flinched at her emotions, "Sorry." Regina blinked, then she sighed. "Don't be, no need to apologize for something like that. I'll go into better detail on the plane, the others already know so it's only fair you do as well."
Regina hummed to herself, then she shook her head at him. "We'll get to know eachother better later for now." She turned to Caius, giving him a cheesy smile. "Wanna cuddle." He scoffed at her. "I do not cuddle." Turning up his nose. Regina blinked, giving him a perplexed look.
"You don't cuddle." She said it so slowly, standing from his lap. Caius narrowed his eyes at her, shaking his head. "I do not cuddle, I sensually hold you whilst you sleep." Regina couldn't help the giggle that slipped past her lips as she picked up the phone on the table. Hearing both Marcus and Aro chuckle as well.
"Sensually hold he says, hey, how have you two's day been thus far." She was met with silence on the other end of the phone. "You wish to know how our day went?" Aro was the one to speak and Regina hummed, placing the phone to her shoulder, then her ear to said phone, as she used her now free hands to grab Caius and Jaspers hands. 'Dragging' them up the stairs and into her room.
Clicking the lock to her door into place so her uncle couldn't just barge into her room, like he so often enjoyed doing. "Well yes, if I did not I wouldn't have asked." She then sat down in Caius's lap, patting the bed beside them for Jasper, who immediately took up residence in said spot.
"Well." He cleared his throat, "Tamed or blood and gore." Regina blinked at his question, cocking her head to the side, "Well, I feel like the blood and Gore would be more interesting then the Tamed version."
She was correct in her statement, Aro immediately launching into the murder of an entire coven. "Many covens play games with humans, nomads are especially, how shall we say. Destructive? Murderous? Phychologically warping?"
Regina hummed lightly to herself, "I get what you mean." And she did, it was sick to her but it's just the way things are. Aro cleared his throat. "The girl that they played their game with was drained, however not all the way."
Regina blinked, "They left her not knowing than?" Aro released a grumbled, his normal child like glee no longer in his voice as he continued sobberly. "She slaughtered an entire village in Germany last year, we stepped in and took care of the threat. The coven responsible, a female and male pairing thought it would be a good idea to step into Volterra for a visit yesterday. We had been looking for them for some time now, however they were not top priority."
"We only have two rules Cara Mia." Aro began and Regina continued for him. "Do not expose yourselves to humanity and the changing of an immortal child is prohibited yes?" Aro released a purr like sound from his throat. "The changing of an immortal child walks hand and hand with exposure."
Regina's eyebrows pulled together at his words. "The second rule is, any who are to attempt to interfere with a true mating bond is met with the true death." She knew in fanfictions it was held in high regards, however she wasn't aware that it was the same in the actual place. "Well alrighty then."
Silence then Aro continued on with his story, "Changing a newborn knowingly or unknowingly and having them run rampant is a threat to our kinds existence. In today's modern times, it would be easy for us to be exposed to any government." Regina nodded in agreement. "I can see that."
"They were torn apart and burn for their crimes, it over all was an exciting day, Afterwards Marcus and I retreated to our respective wings of the castle, where i've been going over paperwork for a new secretary." Marcus cleared his throat. "I've been in a meeting with our accountant all day."
Regina blinked, head cocked to the side. "You have an accountant?"
"Yes, it is a necessity with a coven like ours to manage our accounts properly." She smiled, realizing that despite all the things she knew, well she didn't know everything. It would be interesting learning about the things she didn't know about the Volturi.
"Thank you for sharing your days with me." Aro chuckled into the phone, "Nonsense Cara Mia, thank you for asking." They said there goodbye's and Regina smiled. Cuddling into Caius happily, Jasper watching her do so with a small smile on his lips.
Groggily blue bloodshot eyes snapped open, a grunt of disdain leaving her lips. The alarm clock beside her bed flashing 12:49, "Da fuck is this?" Was growled out as she sat up, absolute annoyance on her face. She had been awakened by a commotion coming from the room over, the thin wall that seperated her room and Bella's easy to hear threw.
"Just leave Edward!" Her spin straightened, she sprang from her bed in absolute fury, "How dare he disturb my sleep." She had been having a heavenly dream before she had been awakened, three kings and a certain blonde haired cowboy being the main focus.
A growl didn't necessarily startle her, but it did make her attention snap to the source. "You have awaken my mate boy." You could only guess who that is. The ruckus from the other room stilled, a few hisses then silence.
The patter of feet against hardwood floor then a knock on her door. She sighed, grumbling out a come in as she sat on the edge of her bed. Rubbing her eyes, glaring at the door, only for her eyes to soften. "We broke up for good."
A gentle whisper, Regina sighed once more, moving up to her headboard and patting the bed beside her. Kicking Caius and Jasper out of said bed in the process. "Come on, yah can sleep with me tonight." Her voice thick with sleep, the desire, not the need t0o head back into unconsciousness.
Bella was instantly snuggled up to her chest, Jane and Alec shutting her door behind them and locking it back. Three pair of crimson eyes and one pair of butterscotch watching them as they fell into oblivion together.
"You're going to home school here on out." Blue eyes of a fifteen year old girl widened at him words, snapping up to stare at Bolero as he buttoned his shirt and fixed his sleeve's. "I don't understand?" She said it slowly, trying to piece together her words just right, pulling back her natural twang as much as possible. Her accent angered him.
He didn't even pause, voice cold as he continued. "You have too many responsibilities here to run off to school everyday. While I won't completely cut off your education, mainly because I won't have the women standing beside me an ignorant one. I see no need for you to continue going to public school."
Her heart dropped at his words, school was the only thing she had, her only escape from everything. "When do I start homeschooling then." Protesting would be futile, if she were to protest she would be punished, it just isn't worth it.
Green eyes turned to and zoned in on her, she pulled the bedsheets up higher, he smirked in response. She shivered. "Tomorrow, I've had Angelic sign you out." So her drug addicted mother could moss up enough time to do Bolero's wishes, but not enough time to even speak to her?
"Right." His eyes narrowed at her, "We are going to a meeting later on today, you will dress appropriately." She didn't respond to his words. He scolded at her silence, approaching her and grabbing her face, making her eyes lock with his own.
"This are big clients, you might not be for sell but the other girls will. Do, Not. Embarrase. Me." His fingers like still on her jaw, they tightened when all she did was nod. "You have a voice, use it. Do, You, Understand Regina?"
She looked down, "Yes, I understand." Her stared intently at her a moment longer before releasing her and stepping back. "If you disobey, I'll have no choice but to punish you." She went stiff, his punishments were never physical, after all he couldn't possibly leave a bruise on his little doll.
No they were always sexual in some way, "I, I will behave." He smirked at her, pleased by what she had to say. "Good, now come, let's get you dressed." A sick knot formed in her stomach but she did as she was told.
"Regina, mia amore?" Caius's voice broke threw her dream, her eyes cracked open, gently rubbing them. "Yes?" His blurry face coming into focus, she was met with a frown. "You were having a bad dream."
It wasn't a dream, it was a memory, though she decided to keep this fact to herself. While she would tell them, she wanted everyone to be together when she did, mainly so she wouldn't have to repeat her story.
"Oh, well thank you for waking me then." She blinked several times, eyes falling to the alarm clock. "Four?" She grunted but got up, letting her eyes move over her room in confusion. "Where's Bella?"
"Alec and Jane took 'er back to her room." she nodded in understanding, shaking her head as she did so. "Alright." Then she was walking to one of the selves in the room, pulling down a pair of old pants an old long sleeved shirt. "Imma go get ready, uncle Charlie should be up in the next ten minutes or so."
It was grumbled out, half asleep as she walked from the room to get ready for their fishing trip. Caius and Jasper watching her go, amused by her getting up and walking out half asleep.
She had stumbled her way to the bathroom changing quickly and splashing water on her face as she did so. Regina was tired, she did want to sleep in later, but at the same time. She was excited to spend time with her uncle.
Stretching out her arms, she turned, heading back to her room. "I'll have my cellphone on me, but it's kind of hard to get signal out on the lake, I might not be able to talk." She informed Caius, who frowned, but still nodded in understanding. Grabbing her by the hips and placing a kiss to her forehead.
"Jasper will be tailing you through the day, he will stay out of sight from your uncle. Alec will be with your cousin while she is at school, Jane and I are leaving to have a talk with the mind reader." She scolded remembering last night.
"What was he even doing here?" Jasper sighed, shaking his head. "He wanted to talk with Bella, figured that they'd leave her be in favor of watchin' you." Regina turned to him and walked over.
"I feel awkward around you." She let him know while squatting down, he was sitting on the ground, back against the wall. His expression softened. "I know you do Darlin'." She wanted to be affectionate with him, like she was with Caius, like she would be with Marcus and Aro, however, he had rejected her. I mean sure she hadn't know about the bond, but well, he had.
"I'm half tempted to make you suffer the next millennium or so for rejecting our bond." Jasper looked down at her words, Regina cupped his cheek, leaned forward and pressed a kiss to his lips. It was quick, just a small peak, but jaspers eyes were large when she pulled away.
"While a part of me is raising hell at me for forgiving you so easy, the main part is relieved I don't have to pretend to be angry at you. Just know, if you ever hurt me again, well, I'll let Caius grind you to dust. Then I'll keep the dust separated into five different erns, placing them around the castle on full display."
His eyes had widened considerably, Caius released a deep laugh at her forgiving, yet still threatening him. "Hey kiddo, you ready?" Regina glanced at the time. Five o'clock. "Sure am Uncle Charlie, I'll be down in just a minute." Another quick peak to each of their cheeks and she was out her bedroom door, down the steps, and helping her Uncle prepare the poles.
So, here's the next chapter, hope everyone likes it, let me know what y'all think so far. Constructive criticism is always welcome, Till next time.
