Queenie: The first part of Breaking Dawn part 1 is here! Now, part 1 isn't going to be that long since the first part of is the wedding, which took thirty minutes, and I completed it all in this chapter. Then like another half hour for the honeymoon, which Mena and Jasper are obviously not apart of. So, that only leaves a little over a hour left to work with. So, part 1 isn't going to be long. But part 2 going to be the usual length of 7 to 9 chapters! Anyway I hope you enjoy, darling readers!
I laughed as Jasper's arms wrapped around me when he caught up to me. I looked back at him to see the grin on his face. I grinned in return before quickly twisting out of his arms. It's been a few nearly a month and half since our wedding, and we were enjoying a nice honeymoon in Greece. It's been an amazing honeymoon, but after tonight, we had to head back to Forks for Bella and Edward's wedding.
"Darlin, you won't be able to keep getting out of my grasp." Jasper said grinning as he crouched in a predatory manner.
"Oh, really?" I asked with a cheeky grin from where I stood a few feet away from him.
Jasper nodded then came at me in a flash. I spun to dodge him, but his arms snaked around my waist again. I gasped when he purposely fell back onto the sand of the beach we were running across. He made sure to take the fall even though it wouldn't have hurt me. Then without wasting time, he flipped me onto the sand with him hovering over me.
"I win." He said smirking. "I believe I deserve a reward."
"Do you now?" I asked as my hands rested on his chest.
Jasper nodded as he leaned in with his nose brushing against mine. I closed the distance by pressing my lips to his. The simple little peck became more when Jasper cupped the back of my head to hold me close. He deepened the kiss while nibbling on my lip. I gave him entrance to my mouth, and he slid his tongue inside. As we continued to make-out on the beach, I felt my body go warmer. The kissing became more heated, and I practically purred into Jasper's mouth as his hands trailed across my body.
I nipped his lip getting a small excited growl from him in return. He started to trail kisses down on my jaw and neck. I dug my nails into his back a bit as my lower abdomen burned in a sensation I've become used to ever since our first night here. Jasper ripped off the short jean shorts I was wearing to toss to the side, which left me only in my bikini. I pulled off the white button down he had on before trailing my fingers down his cool chest. His lips went back to mine as his hands unfastened the clip in the front that kept my bikini top from falling.
He discarded the small piece of clothing, and my breath hitched when his lips gave attention to my breasts. I felt him smirk against my skin, which had me a bit embarrassed at my reaction. He always enjoyed making me mewl and moan. Jasper then in a swift motion removed my bikini bottoms, which left me nude on the sand. Good thing it was past midnight, so no one was around to see this. Jasper pulled back to look down at my nude form with love and lust burning in his honey-gold orbs.
"J-Jasper." I murmured.
Jasper gave a predatory like smirk before he leaned back in to continue what he started. I moaned in pleasure while knowing we were going to make sure our last night here was well spent as Jasper swept me away in pure bliss.
"Back here again." I said as I stepped out of Jasper's car.
I looked up at the Cullen Household. Jasper went to the trunk to grab our things as a blur came running towards me from the house. I let out an 'oaf!' as Alice came barreling into me.
"You're back!" She said happily as she held me tightly.
I put my arms around her as well while trying not to fall backwards onto my ass.
"I missed you too, Alice." I said once I found my footing.
Alice giggled while finally pulling away from me as the rest of the family, minus Edward and Bella, came out of the house. Rosalie stepped up next to give me a hug, which had me smiling as I hugged her in return. Esme and Carlisle greeted me at the same time as Emmett helped Jasper with the bags even if he didn't need it.
"So, the vacation house pretty totaled?" Emmett asked with a grin.
I rolled my eyes at him as Jasper just silently grinned. We hadn't left the place in too bad a shape. Okay...it was kind of bad...may be a bit more than that kind of bad...but it was my honeymoon. I should be allowed to be as wild as I want with my new husband, right?
"It's good to have you both back." Jonas said changing the subject before Emmett could start teasing. "It's been too quiet without you around, Mena."
"Are you saying I'm a loud person?" I asked with a quirked brow.
"Yes." Jonas said grinning.
I flipped him off as a response, which had the boys laughing and Alice giggling. Esme lightly chided me for the rude hand gesture as Carlisle sighed shaking his head though I could see a ghost of a smile on his face. Rosalie just made me put my hand down.
"Where's the next groom and bride?" I asked looking around.
"Oh, they're off alone." Alice said then pouted. "Edward said I was driving Bella crazy, so he took her away to relax. Now isn't the time for relaxing! The wedding is soon! You two better be ready to work because we have things to do."
I sighed though wasn't surprised. I knew Alice would have us working hard with Bella and Edward's wedding just around the corner. Oh, well, at least it's good to be home.
"So, still no word from it?" I asked Billy as I paced inside the house with Jasper's phone pressed to my ear.
What I've learned now that I'm now part vampire is that I can use cell phones now. And let me tell you, they make communication so much easier.
"None." Billy said with a sigh. "I...I just don't know where he could have gone."
I frowned with worry bubbling up in my gut. When I got back a few days ago, Billy had informed me that Jacob had ran off after Billy received an invitation to Edward and Bella's wedding. What were they thinking by sending an invitation there? It was cruel...didn't Bella know that?
"Alright." I said softly. "If you hear anything, will you let me know?"
"Of course." Billy said. "Now, don't forget to visit sometime, Mena. You're no stranger here. The boys want to see you."
"I will...after the wedding." I promised. "Bye, Uncle Billy."
Billy told me goodbye in return before hanging up. I sighed then pocketed Jasper's phone into my back pocket. I went back outside next before Alice could come in to drag me out.
"Mena, tell Bella that she just has to break the shoes in a bit more." Alice said as soon as I shut the glass door behind me.
I looked to Bella, who was grimacing, as she wore her wedding shoes on her feet.
"It isn't about breaking them in." I said. "She's too cautious when she walks. She drags her feet across the ground, which makes her stumble. If she would walk with more confidence, and actually pick her feet up, she'd be fine."
Alice smiled immediately agreeing with me as Bella pouted at me as if I betrayed her. I just shrugged silently in reply.
"And don't dis the shoes." I said. "Zayn picked those out especially for the dress he made you. If he heard you complaining, he'd have your head."
I ran my finger across my throat to mime someone losing a head. I then pat Bella on the shoulder as I went to help finish setting up the venue for the wedding. I grabbed a trunk from the pile that Alice had gotten for decoration to throw onto my shoulder. It wasn't as big as the one Emmett got, but whatever. I went to follow after Rosalie who had a shorter yet wider trunk in her hands.
"Where do you want them, Boss?" Emmett asked.
"On either side of the aisle." Alice replied.
"What aisle?" Rosalie asked.
"Does no one have vision?" Alice asked as she walked down the steps to organize us.
"I have perfect vision, thanks." I said. "20/20."
Alice narrowed her eyes at me, and I unfearfully stuck out tongue out at her in return. Jonas and Jasper chuckled at the both of us as we continued to work on getting the wedding venue set up.
I sat on mine and Jasper's bed up in our room as he put a jacket on. Tonight he was going out for Edward's bachelor party with said vampire, Emmett, Jonas, and Carlisle.
"So, this bachelor party...is there going to be strippers?" I asked with a teasing grin as I leaned against the pillows.
Jasper chuckled as he turned to look at me. He flashed over the bed to sit down beside me. He put his hands on either side of me, and he leaned in with his forehead brushing mine.
"No, Darlin." Jasper said as he looked me in the eye. "Just my brothers, my father, myself and hopefully a couple of bears."
Ah, so it's going to be exactly how Jasper spent his bachelor party. My bachelorette party wasn't much different.
"Besides, I could never look at another female with lust let alone love." Jasper said as he leaned in closer. "When I have you."
He pressed his lips to mine, and I returned the kiss as I cupped his cheek. Before anything could continue, Emmett let himself into our room.
"You can make-out later." Emmett said to Jasper. "We still have to go pull Edward away from Bella."
Jasper rolled his eyes at Emmett as I snorted in amusement. I can just picture Edward not being very happy about being interrupted at Bella's home.
"I'll be right there, Emmett." Jasper said. "Go wait downstairs with Jonas and Carlisle."
Emmett practically whined like a five-year-old in annoyance, but he did leave Jasper and I alone.
"I'll be back by morning, Darlin." Jasper promised as he looked into my eyes.
"You better be." I said. "I don't think I can handle Alice on my own."
"I heard that!" Alice called from downstairs.
I laughed as Jasper chuckled before he placed another loving kiss upon my lips.
"I better go before Emmett comes up here to pull me away." Jasper said as he got up. "Try to get some rest tonight, Darlin."
"I'll try." I said as I laid fully down onto the bed. "I love you, Major."
I saw Jasper smile at me softly from the doorway with love radiating off of him.
"I love you too, Darlin." He said then left while closing the door behind him.
I let out a soft sigh as I left mine and Jasper's room in the purple dress that Alice had chosen for me today. Apparently all the Cullen women were wearing purple today, some sort of shade anyway. My dress was lilac in color, strapless, it fared down form my waist, and stopped before my knees. I was barefooted at the moment since I refused to put on my pumps until I absolutely had to. My hair was down at the moment since Alice just told me to leave it as it is until she or Rosalie or Esme could do something with it.
"Alice?" I called out softly since I knew she'd be able to here me.
"We're in here, Mena." I heard Alice reply.
I could instantly pinpoint where 'here' was, and in a flash I was in Alice and Jonas's room where Alice was getting Bella ready.
"Just sit there until I'm ready for you." Alice said pointing to a chair. "And don't move."
I rolled my eyes because she was acting as if I'd ruin something just by looking at it. I did sit down, however, as Alice was continuing to apply foundation to Bella's face.
"What did I say about beauty sleep?" Alice chided Bella as I leaned back in my seat in a very poor posture manner.
"Sorry, bad dream." Bella said. "It was wedding jitters."
I looked at Bella with a quirked brown as I wondered what she had dreamt of before her wedding. I hadn't really had much sleep. I still need sleep since I'm only half vampire, but I realized I don't need as much of it.
"Do you need some help?" Rosalie asked as she walked up to the door. "I could do her hair. While you handle the pouter over there."
She gestured over to me, and I stuck my tongue out at her in return, which made her smile.
"Really?" Bella asked looking shocked.
Rosalie just sighed then silently walked over to Bella to take over for Alice.
"Please." Rosalie said. "I'm not offended by your choice of groom."
"Just my blatant lack of respect to mortality." Bella said.
"...Essentially." Rosalie said.
"Weddings." Alice said as she gave Rosalie a one-armed hug. "They bring everyone together. Now, you, let's start on your hair then make-up."
I made a yuck face though sat up in the chair as Alice came over to start working on me. I remained quiet during the entire procedure since I knew speaking or complaining would only delay it. Alice managed to finish my hair and make-up just as Rosalie was finishing up Bella's hair. I heard murmuring not far from the hall that led towards the room we were in, and I could instantly tell it was Charlie and Renee.
"Alice? Bella?" Renee called out.
"In here, Mom." Bella replied.
Renee turned around in the hall then came towards us as Alice let me stand up from the chair of torture. My hair was now in a half updo as I wondered why my hair had to be done like this. Just being left down was so much better. Renee finally came into the room while gasping when she caught sight of Bella.
"Oh, my gosh!" Renee exclaimed as she started tearing up. "You're saw beautiful. Oh, honey...Crap! My mascara!"
I pulled out a tissue from the box in the room, and held it out to Renee. Alice told me we'd need plenty of these today.
"Thanks." Renee said as she took it.
She dabbed at her eyes then called for Charlie to hurry up and come in here. I watched as Charlie cautiously poked his head around the corner before hesitantly stepping forward.
"Are you sure?" He asked as he came down the hall. "Because I don't want to..."
He just made a odd gesture, but I was able to see he really didn't want to walk in to see something he shouldn't. I chuckled shaking my head. Charlie is such an awkward guy...just like how Bella is an awkward girl. Which is why no one should be able to doubt them being related. Charlie finally stepped into the room wearing his suit and carrying a small box.
"I know." Charlie said. "I look hot."
We all laughed at his joke, which had to be his wake of trying to push aside his own nervousness.
"We thought you needed something blue." Renee said as Charlie opened the box to reveal a beautiful silver hair piece with blue stones.
"And something old." Charlie said. "Besides, your mother."
Renee scoffed with an eye roll, which had my lips twitching up in amusement.
"Nice." She said sarcastically.
Bella carefully reached out to pluck the hair piece out of the box as if it'd shatter if she pulled to hard.
"It was Grandma Swan's." Charlie explained.
"But we added the sapphires." Renee said as she gestured to the stones.
"It's beautiful, you guys." Bella said as she sat down. "Wow. Thank-you so much."
She handed it to Alice who carefully slid it into place in Bella's hair. Knowing Alice she knew this was going to happen, and made sure Rosalie knew what kind of hairstyle to put Bella's hair in for it.
"It's your first family heirloom." Renee said. "Pass onto your daughter...and her daughter."
Bella, Rosalie, Alice, and I all shared knowing and sad glances briefly in the mirror. We all knew that Bella would never have that daughter...or granddaughter. Bella shook her head while putting a smile on her face as she stood.
"Mom, I love it." Bella said.
She went to hug Renee, but Alice was real quick to stop her from doing so.
"Nope." Alice said. "No, smudging my masterpiece."
"You let Mena hug her dad on her wedding." Bella pointed out with a pout.
"Mena hadn't seen her dad for years though." Alice retorted.
I nodded my head because that was entirely true. It was also the first and only hug I ever received from him.
"She's right." Renee said as she dabbed at her eyes again.
Bella thanked her parents again as Alice went to get the dress bag out of her massive closet.
"Okay!" Alice said. "Time for the dress!"
Renee clapped her hands while smiling happily we all turned towards Alice. Of course, I've already seen the dress since Zayn is the one to design. Call it Best Friend privileges.
"Do you want to see it?" Alice asked.
"I want to see it!" Renee said eagerly.
I walked outside looking around at everyone who came for Bella's wedding today. Was Bella and Edward even friends with half of these people here? I mean, like most of the people weren't at my wedding. Of course, Alice probably knew I'd be more comfortable around people I did know instead of strangers. A hand was placed on the small of my back, and I turned to smile up at Jasper who had found me.
"You look beautiful, Darlin." He said then lightly kissed my lips.
"You don't look half bad yourself, Major." I said as I turned to face him completely. "You clean up nice."
I tugged lightly on the lapels of his jacket, and he chuckled as his lips turned up into a grin.
"Thank-you for the compliment, Mrs. Whitlock." Jasper said.
"You're welcome, Mr. Whitlock." I replied. "Shall we go mingle with the mortals?"
Jasper let out a laugh as he held out his arm to me. I placed my hand in the crook of his arm, so he could lead the way. As I looked around, I saw Billy, Sue, and Seth all here. Seth didn't seem as happy as his usual self, and I knew that was because Calli, who was still unsure about the whole imprint thing, returned to camp after everything settled down. She did promise to come back sometime for a visit, but Seth was probably feeling saddened by their separation.
It also had to be hard on him since Sherman stuck around to be with Leah. I didn't see the two of them around, so I guessed they stayed on the reservation today. Not that I'm surprised since I know Leah really dislikes Bella, and Sherman doesn't really know her enough to feel obligated to come. Most of the guests were sitting by now, but some were still up mingling.
I saw Alice, who had finally left Bella alone, and Jonas speaking to Reverend Webber near the front of the rows of seats. Emmett was speaking to a few guests not far from them. I could see Rosalie chatting with Renee and Phil over on the opposite side of the rows. Then Carlisle and Esme were speaking to who I could only guess to be the Denali Coven.
They hadn't come for my wedding since it had been my tribe that killed Laurent. I learned through Alice that one of the Coven members, Irina, had a relationship with Laurent. Alice also explained that the other members of the Coven had no hard feelings towards me for what happened. They just didn't want to leave their sister behind to come to my wedding. I understood that, so I was hoping to start off on a good foot today with them.
"Kate is eager to meet you as well." Jasper said as if knowing what I was thinking.
I looked at him with a quirked brow while wondering if he borrowed Edward's mind-reading powers.
"Darlin, it was all over your face that you were curious about them." Jasper said grinning. "And I could feel a bit of nervousness bubbling up underneath your usual calm and collected presence."
So he used his emotional juju powers to read me, huh? Sometimes I think it's worse that mind reading.
"Would you like to meet them now?" Jasper asked. "We still have time before everything gets started."
I nodded my head since I knew they'd probably want to speak with Edward and Bella after the ceremony. Jasper led me over towards them, and Irina instantly stiffened before we came to a full stop in front of them. It was silently for a moment as the Denali Coven looked me over as if sizing me up. I didn't fidget under their gazes, and the blonde with her hair down smiled seeming to respect that I met their looks head on.
"Everyone," Carlisle began as he placed a hand on my shoulder. "This is Mena. Jasper's mate. Mena, this is the Denali Coven. Tanya and her sisters, Irina and Kate. Then Eleazar and his mate Carmen."
"Nice to meet you." I said nodding.
Carmen stepped away from Eleazar with a kind smile on her face. She gave me a quick hug and even placed a kind kiss on my cheek.
"It is a pleasure to meet you finally, Mena." Carmen said sounding sincere.
Eleazar then stepped up to kiss my hand in greeting with a kind smile on his face.
"I have never met a hybrid like you before." Eleazar said. "I did not know half bloods even existed. With gifts like yours...it's hard to tell what all you can do."
I blinked at him curiously with a tilt of my head as Jasper placed his hand on my hip.
"Eleazar can read and classify other vampires' gifts." Jasper explained. "Even the gifts of humans if they are strong enough."
I nodded in understanding while thinking it had to be nifty knowing what possible gifts someone might have, especially if they were an enemy. Kate and Tanya stepped up next as Irina refused to look at me. I guess, her and I will never become friends.
"Welcome to the family, Mena." Tanya said smiling at me. "We have heard a lot about you from the Cullens when they came to Alaska nearly a year ago."
She must mean with the Cullens had left Forks after the incident at Bella's birthday party.
"I've been wondering if any of it was exaggerated." Kate said grinning. "I heard you were strong enough to take on vampires before you turned. That true?"
"Yes." I said grinning. "I was one of the first of my kind to take on multiple vampires and survive. It gave me a bit of a reputation."
Kate's grin widened, and I had the feeling that her and I would get along just great. We chatted for a few more minutes, and the entire time Irina refused to look at me. Mine and Kate's conversation was cut a bit short when it was time to take our seats, so to wait for Bella. As Bella was leaving the house with Charlie, we all stood.
I felt a smile on my face as Bella and Charlie started walking down the aisle towards where Edward was made it down the aisle and Charlie seemed very reluctant to hand over Bella to Edward. Reverend Webber told us we all could be seated as Charlie moved away from the bride and groom who stood together.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here on this glorious day to witness the Union of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan." Reverend Webber said.
Unlike at Jasper and my wedding, Bella and Edward didn't write their own vows. Something about Bella would be to embarrassed to say them in front of people. And it's a fact that I used to tease her with. Emmett even helped out until Jasper and Rosalie decided to be merciful by getting us to stop with the teasing. Of course, Emmett got a whack over the head while Jasper just distracted me with kisses. I felt my own eyes tear up as the two swapped vows, and I laughed with Emmett when they didn't wait for the reverend to give them permission to kiss.
"And I thought we were a bit eager." I joked to Jasper.
He grinned then brought my hand to his lips to place a loving kiss on my knuckles.
After all the speeches were given to the new married couple, everyone mingled, dance, and ate at the wedding. I stuck mostly to Jasper the entire time, but Seth had pulled me away for a rather awkward dance since both of us had two left feet. I had enjoyed it though. I probably laughed through the entire thing. Emmett and Jonas even took their turns dancing with me, and thanks to them actually knowing what they were doing, it didn't look as bad. I was speaking with Billy and Sue when I picked up on a familiar voice.
"Jacob." I whispered turning away from Billy and Sue.
I could heard Jacob's angered voice coming from around the other side of the house.
"Mena, what's wrong?" Billy asked. "Is it Jacob? He said he might come...did he?"
I just reached out to squeeze Billy's hand before excusing myself to go around the side of the house. When I arrived, I saw Edward putting himself in between Jacob and Bella.
"You'll kill her!" Jacob snapped at Edward.
Jacob went to attack, but Seth appeared in time to try and stop it. He begged Jacob to walka way. However, Jacob shook him off with ease. He went to attack again, but I flashed to his side.
"Jacob, stop!" I said as I grabbed his arm. "Don't start something here. Runt, come on, listen to me."
Jacob's glare lessened a bit as he looked down at my pleading face. Jasper appeared not a second later while looking ready to step in if he had to. Sam, Embry, and Quil all came into view as well. They probably followed Jacob here to make sure he hadn't started a fight like was just about to.
"He'll kill her, Mena." Jacob said. "You know he will."
"She's not our concern anymore." Sam said before I could say anything.
Jacob turned to glare at his alpha as I continued to hold onto his arm. It feels like forever since I last saw my cousin. I didn't want him to go upset even if it wasn't at me. Jacob turned to look at me. He made me let go of him, which brought tears to my eyes.
"I'm sorry." He said. "Before your wedding, I said some mean things. I still love you, Mena. You're my family."
He pulled me into his arms to give me a tight hug then almost reluctantly let me go. He walked away from me while purposely hitting Sam with his shoulder. Sam glowered at the ground as Embry and Quil hurried after their friend.
"Let's go, Seth!" Sam ordered the youth before disappearing into the woods.
Seth looked at Bella sympathetically then walked over to me to give me a hug goodbye.
"Come down to the rez soon, okay?" He asked with a slightly begging tone.
"Of course." I said nodding.
He offered me a sad smile then hurried after his pack brothers. Jasper stepped up to put his arms around me as the tears remained in my eyes. I glanced at Bella wondering what the Hades she said to Jacob this time to hurt him. Edward glared at me when hearing my thoughts, and I glared right back at him. Bella is my friend, but she's hurting my family. How could I not be upset.
"Let's get back to the party, Darlin." Jasper said to be softly.
I nodded my head silently then let him lead me back around the house where the wedding was still going on. However, now, I didn't feel in such a partying mood.
Queenie: Hoped you liked the new chapter and the start of Breaking Down part 1! Until next time, my dearies~
