Jasper POV
What?
"What?" I ask again once the words settled in my brain. I stood shakily with the help of Alice.
Frustration and agitation flowed off of Bella in a muted wave. "Where is my husband… You took my husband from me, you changed him… Now where is Peter?" She asks again in a slight snarl. I was still surprised and yet wary, she was a newborn, controlled but at any second she could snap.
"I don't know Darlin'…" I start, getting cut off by Rosalie.
"You need to explain to us how you claim for Peter to be your husband? He was changed in the 1880's and has a mate. How can you be married to him? How when you were up in that room changing!" She hisses out and I knew it was the bad thing to do as I felt the heart shattering agony burst through the damn at the mention of Peter having a mate.
"What?" She whispers, her anger deflating like a balloon. "He… he has a mate? He forgot me?" She whispers brokenly, her knees giving out before her. Esme rushed forward, catching her in her arms and cradling Bella to her chest while Alice supported me. I tried to block the agony, I tried my hardest but there was no way to block out that agony.
I never knew someone could feel so strongly, even in the beginnings of my vampiric life there was nothing this strong.
"Peter…" She whimpers softly to herself, her eyes glazing over as numbness began to consumer her and a longing.
"I'm sorry Darlin'." I sigh out as Alice places me next to her on the couch. She knew what it meant to sire a newborn, her own eyes glazing with deep sadness as she began to remember her very first creation.
It was before we had joined the Cullen's she had found her singer and slipped, changing the girl in the process. She felt the binding begin to strengthen before it was snuffed out with viciousness by deaths hand as the girl died before the venom consumed her.
Minutes ticked by, followed by hours and then soon enough the sun began to rise yet she didn't move, she was unresponsive and if it wasn't due to the slight blink now and then I would assume she was gone.
"I can't see anything." Alice whispers as my eyes connect with her tired ones. Her hand passing me a cup of blood, even then Isabella didn't move. "I think it is her, her shield."
"Alice, what did you see that set Eddie off?" Emmett asks from his spot in the corner, shocking everyone. I don't know why it shocked us, not because of Emmett asking; we all knew he was smart playing a boys game but because no one thought to ask it.
"I saw her in the arms of another man… human… in… oh." She stutters before drifting off in shock. "She was dressed in a Victorian dress, I thought it was for a ball or something but the setting... then I saw her as a vampire but it was overlaid together… What if while she was changing she was somehow transferred to the past?" Alice asks softly.
"How could that be though, that is very unusual, but then again our Bella is one for the strange." Carlisle whispers by the window, he was hesitant to voice his thoughts. "How could I not see…"
"It isn't your fault Carlisle." Allie, my sweet mate tries to comforts, only to fall on deaf ears.
"No, it is. It is my fault, I gave him too much leniency in this life, changed him to young and spoiled him, let him have his way in guilt. I am this covens leader and yet relied too much on his word. He made us leave, he made us leave Isabella here to suffer, made us leave without a goodbye under the ruse she was his mate. THAT is what I should have seen, no mate can leave their other half behind without agonizing pain; yet I refused to see that. I wont let it happen anymore, I have made many mistakes when it came to Edward and Bella, I wont allow my daughter to be hurt by him anymore." He states, his voice staying neutral and serious.
I held high respect for Carlisle, even more so now than ever before. I could feel his shame, his rage and his determination to keep his word. He was finally stepping up as a coven leader.
Footsteps thundered in the yard, causing my head to snap, my body coiling for an attack. I let out a snarl of warning before curling my hands around Alice and Isabella as I crouched to protect my mate and my newborn.
A wave of familiarity, reassurance, brotherly and sisterly loved flowed out of the trees in waves causing me to pause. "Major." Charlotte's drawl calls in greeting, yet I didn't move, my hand tightening around Bella's as the breeze pushed their scent into the open door.
Rage, rage and agony poured from Isabella, her eyes snapping to Char and Peter side by side. I stiffened as I felt the savageness coming from my newborn as her eyes locked onto Peter's frame.
"Charlotte! Step away from Peter!" I yell before I found myself being pushed forward through the wall by an invisible force.
"MINE!" She roars, her hands in claws as she charged towards Charlotte.
Peter's eyes widened as hope bloomed in his chest, his arms moving instantly, shoving Charlotte from the newborns path before taking her place. They collided with a surrounding boom, crashing into the forest together with grunts and snarls.
"Stop!" Major's voice echoes my mouth, his influence creeping out to the others. "They're mates!" He hisses as they tried to move forward again.
"What… Why was? What?" I heard someone mutter before my eyes cast to Alice. Shame filling me as Rosalie's words echoed my head, the reason why Bella shut down.
"We didn't correct Rosalie." Alice whispers, yet everyone heard.
"What do you mean you didn't correct me?" Rosalie snaps, causing me to bare my teeth in her direction as I made my way to Charlotte.
"You said that Char and Peter were mates, they are not, they never were more than brother and sister. State why you are here Char." Major orders while his eyes scan the tree lines, the snarls fading into the distance ever so slightly.
"Oh, now I see." The male, Char's mate hums out, pulling his mate closer. "It seems we met Isa."
Char's brows rose in shock and disbelief. "What how? He said she died when he remembered his life!?" She blurts out in shock causing a huff of a laugh to escape Major's mouth.
I hated this way of him taking control, our minds split yet he's in control of my body.
"She's been changing, explain later." I grunted out, twirling them from Isabella's war path as she came hurtling out of the trees, her eyes blazing with a darkness only the Major and Captain could relate too.
"STOP!" I order, my hands connecting with hers in a lock, spinning her and twisting my arms and hers around her body. Calm being pushed into her very being as much as possible. "She is not a threat, stop fighting, where is your mate!"
That froze her, her body going rigged as a sense of reality began to come back, her eyes growing lighter as the colour began to come back and the black to recede.
"Peter?" She breathes out, confused.
His emotions reflected hers as he came out of the trees, a blinding smile on his face as he removes his hand from his fresh mating mark. "Here Suga', I'm here now." He replies, opening his arms for her.
