A/N A huge thanks goes to my wonderful awesome friend OoJasper'sAngeloO for her beta work on this chapter, I love you girl. I'm back but still may have more time between updates as I'm still trying to get settled into the new place. Hope you enjoy this chapter.

I do not own Twilight or any of the characters.

Peter's POV

I knew that if Bella knew the truth she would do right by her mate and come back. She really didn't have a choice, she is his mate and for her to know that she was causin' him pain would be enough to make her go back. Even though I knew she would have a hard time as vampires never forget.

She would always have the memory of what she saw when she walked in on him and Alice. I know that if I had seen Char touchin' another male in a sexual way, I would have ripped his ass apart and then probably run off as well. I could never hurt her, but I could never forget either. Although there bein' a reason, while it didn't make it better, it did make it more forgivable.

As soon as I told her that Jasper was stayin' in the guest bedroom, hurtin' and not feedin', I saw her resolve start to melt. That's the one thing I knew would make her go back, a mate would rather destroy themselves than cause pain to their other half. We just can't deliberately hurt our mates. That's why Jasper is refusin' to feed. He did hurt his mate and its killin' him that he can't fix it.

I told her about the vampire that Edward had asked to help him. Edward, for some stupid reason believed that Bella was truly his mate and that if she saw Jasper with Alice that she would realize the "truth" and go runnin' back to him. It almost cost him and Alice their lives. Too fuckin' bad it didn't.

I explained how his gift worked, that he could make people, vampires and humans, forget something or someone. I told her that if she had just waited a few minutes that it would have lifted on its own. Alice basically ruined any chance of Jasper actually fuckin' her by makin' him give her an orgasm first. The gift only lasted about fifteen minutes and Jasper would have come out of it before actually fuckin' her.

I went on to explain how her shield had actually brought him out of the vampire's gift and he actually stepped back to allow his true mate to rip first Alice apart and then Edward when he stupidly tried to stop her. I told her how Jasper made everyone leave to try to calm her down.

She was surprised that she had a shield. I knew it was there but since none of us had any mental gifts it was never noticed not even by her. I figured she had one, it was the only reason that Edward could never read her mind. It could protect her and her mate from mental attacks but not from physical ones.

Carlisle had tried to take what body parts were in the room, but Bella had growled at him and Jasper warned him to leave or he would turn her loose. He left without a word, but as soon as we were downstairs he was outside lookin' for the parts that had been thrown through the window. Bella had been seriously pissed off when she had attacked. I just fuckin' hope I never piss her off, too much anyway.

Char explained to her that apparently Alice thought that once she had Jasper in her bed that he would continue even though the gift would have lifted. What she hadn't planned on was Bella's shield bringing Jasper out of it much sooner, or bein' attacked and ripped apart. She also hadn't counted on Carlisle agreein' to not give her or Edward their legs back.

It took nothing else to get her to agree to come back. She was in more pain than Jasper was because she was the cause of his pain. She actually thought that Jasper had changed his mind and wanted Alice back. She never really thought that there might be another reason for what she saw Jasper doin' to his ex. Without another word we all got up and started runnin' back to the house in Forks.

Bella's POV

I couldn't believe that I had allowed that stupid, petty little child known as Edward Cullen to trick both me and my mate. I felt horrible, for I had doubted my mate, my husband. I knew he loved me and he had allowed me to feel how deeply more than once. Yet when I saw what he was doing to Alice, I lost it. I failed to remember his love for me. I had failed him and now he was hurting for my stupidity.

We had to swim back, but Peter being Peter had wisely hidden some fresh clothes for us to change into once we were back on land. We decided to hunt before continuing our run as it has been a couple of weeks since I fed last. We were lucky and quickly found us a gang of drug pushers who were out to destroy the lives of young kids by selling them drugs. Today instead of them destroying another life, we took theirs away.

After feeding we took off again. It wouldn't be much longer before we were there and I needed to be with Jasper. I only hoped that he could forgive me for being so stupid and for running away. Peter stopped us when we were a few miles away and called Carlisle. He asked him for two things. One, make sure Edward and Alice were still unable to walk and second, make sure everyone left. Jasper and I needed to be alone.

They would still be there and as part of their punishment for trying to interfere in our relationship, they would have to listen to us as we made up, and talked. At this point I found out later, neither of them had their legs or arms. Although they had been given back their arms, Jasper had apparently gotten pissed off at them talking about him going back to Alice and ripped them off again. He threatened Carlisle of the same fate if he gave them back their arms.

I had a hard time believing that Carlisle would agree until it was explained to me that what Edward and Alice did was punishable by death if Aro found out. It's against vampire laws to interfere or try to separate mates. If it could be proven then the death was instantly dealt out and usually by the mates the acts were against. If only one was left, it was up to that one to deal out the death, before dying themselves as no mate could live without the other.

Once the house was empty I headed towards it. Peter and Char joined Carlisle and the rest of the family as they came over to us. I got hugs from Esme and Carlisle along with apologies about Edward and Alice's actions. Then they told me that Jasper was really bad, that he made no movement when he was told he had a visitor coming. They tried to tell him it was me, but he hadn't believed them. He felt that he had lost me forever.

My heart broke and I took off running. I had to stop his pain and now that I knew the whole truth, there was nothing to forgive him for. It wasn't his fault that Edward and Alice had to resort to a vampire's gift to try to get Jasper and I back with them. I felt my rage start to build up again and wanted to go and rip their fucking heads off again.

I stopped just long enough to try to calm myself down. I didn't want Jasper feeling this shit and thinking it was directed towards him. Carlisle had told me which guest room he was in and I headed straight for it. I knew he was bad, but I still wasn't prepared for what I saw when I opened the door.

He was on the bed, curled up. His back was to me so he didn't see who came in. He just yelled, "Get the fuck out of here before I rip you apart. I already told you Carlisle I'm not fuckin' movin' from this bed. Now leave me the fuck alone."

His voice sounded so lost, so lonely. I had to answer him, "Jasper, its me, I. . .I came back. Peter found me and explained everything to me. I'm sorry that I said all of those horrible things to you. Please, can we talk?"

He was off the bed and in front of me before I could finish my sentence. I could tell that he hadn't hunted in a while, his eyes were black and he had dark circles under them. He looked haunted and empty. I had done that to him. My guilt increased and I knew that he would feel it.

"You came back. Now you're feelin' guilty. Why? What do you have to feel guilty about? I'm the one that fucked up. I was the one touchin' that whore. Please, you have nothing to feel guilty about, you did nothing wrong. Please tell me that you came back to give me another chance?" he whispered softly.

For the first time I heard and saw an emotion that I never thought I would ever see coming from him, fear. I put my hand up and cupped his cheek, "Jasper, I'm feeling guilty because I'm the one that caused you to be hurting like this. I ran off like a coward, not even giving you a chance to explain or have anyone else explain. I'm so fucking sorry baby. I should have had enough faith in your love for me to realize that something was off. I know that you would never have touched her of your own free will and yet I just felt so hurt by what I had seen. I'm sorry, can you forgive me for my lack of faith and trust in you?"

"It's me that needs forgiveness. I probably would have run off as well had I been in your place. I don't understand why you came back. I would give anything to take back what happened, but I can't. Is there any way that we can get past this? Please, I'll do anything just tell me what you want me to do."

"Of course there is. I love you, you are my mate and husband. I need you in my life because without you, there is no life for me. I will have to ask you to please be patient with me. I'm not ready to just start where we left off. That means that I'm not ready to have sex with you. I will have to work up to it. I know that you weren't really in your right mind when you did what you did with Alice, but please just give me some time. I'll try not to make you wait too long. Can you do that?"

"Like I said, I'll do whatever it takes. Whatever you want or need, just say the word. I love you and I need you as well. As long as we are together, that's the most important thing to me. I'll wait as long as you need me to. Just tell me what do you want me to do right now?" he told me.

"Just hold me and let me feel your love," was my only reply.

He gently put his arms around me and just held me. He pulled me close to his body and then I felt his body shaking. He was sobbing, but of course no tears fell. It was at this point that something happened that had never happened before. The shield that everyone just knew I had made its appearance.

At first we couldn't tell any difference. It was actually Edward and Alice that pointed it out in a roundabout way. When Jasper was sobbing I really didn't want them to fucking hear him in his weakness. This was a very private time for just the two of us trying to reconnect. I just wished that they couldn't hear him. Suddenly, they couldn't.

We knew this when we heard them talking and saying that we must have left. They could no longer hear us even though Jasper was being loud. We would work on the fucking shield later, but right now the conversation between Edward and Alice was becoming more than interesting.

Even Jasper stopped when he heard them talking. He gave me a quick kiss and then both of us turned our attention to the conversation. What we heard helped us to understand that before it was over, we would need to destroy both of them. They were delusional, both of them.

They both were still convinced that we were their mates. The worst part... They had both decided that if their little plan hadn't worked they had another back up plan. Since their arms had been reattached at one point, it seems that in that short time they were able to make a call.

They were desperate and in that desperation they had contacted an enemy of ours and figuring that they would be able to control her they could use her to get us back to where we belonged according to them. The phone call they made was to Victoria and she was on her way to help them or so they thought.

We knew Victoria though and two things were certain. One, she was only after one thing and that was my death. Secondly, she could never be trusted, yet Edward and Alice both had gone out of their way to seek her help and loyalty. Stupid assholes, thinks they know what's best.

Apparently they had made a deal with her. They would get her out of trouble with the Volturi which she was already in and in exchange she would help them by getting them out of trouble with the family by coming and attacking. It was a win win or so they thought. It just showed how stupid they really were. The real problem was now her and her fucking army were on their way to destroy the family and us and would be here in a matter of an hour or so. . .

A/N Let me know what you think. There are only a few more chapters of this story left. I would say at least three maybe four more before the end. And not sure how regularly I'll be updating but I'll try not to make anyone wait long in between. Thanks for all of the reviews and for adding this story to your favorites and alerts love you guys.
