Chapter 46
Two for joy
The women of my life.
Alice Cullen. Unworthy of a glance. Unworthy of even a thought. Manipulative, childish, annoying little cunt.
Maria Gazador—the hunter. Or was she using her war name, Guerra? Regardless, she had me dancing like a puppet on the string, until the string snapped, and I taught her a lesson she should have never forgotten.
One crow – sorrow.
My, my, two crows for joy.
Alice opened her almost never-closing mouth and started rambling something about killing Bella and other shit. I didn't care about the meaning of it—she was just too loud. And I told her to shut the fuck up.
"Alice convinced me to help her," Maria informed me. "She wants some human you keep here dead. I … well … I would like to get something of mine back."
To everyone else, she appeared confident, but she couldn't fool me. She was unsure, hesitant. Her words were precise, but I could feel her nervousness and frustration.
She felt tricked. Betrayed.
I would have bet that Alice hadn't even bothered to take a good look at me before I slapped her and ordered her to piss off. She had fed Maria her tiny, little, never ending lies. I would have bet that it went something like: Let's go. Let's kill Jasper's new plaything. He'll come around, and I'll buy myself something new and shiny, maybe some yellow Porsche, and … blah, blah, blah.
I didn't want to laugh out loud so I bit my lip.
Surprise, bitches.
"And what would that be, love?" I mocked her as I raised my eyebrow at her. "Lost something in the woods?"
Maria sputtered and stamped her foot. "Don't play games with me, Jasper," she hissed. "You know what I want, and you will give it back."
"Will I, really?" I whispered and smiled.
"You are so fucking stupid, Whitlock. My army will tear you apart!" she yelled.
I got serious in a heartbeat.
I fucking told them to be quiet.
I demanded silence.
"Bring it," I invited her serenely as I straightened to my full height and raised my chin. "Maybe … I said maybe… your army will destroy me, but it will be without their leader then, since I plan to start the fun by taking something else from you. Like your head perhaps?" I smirked at her.
Her only response was to raise her arm and signal her disposable minions to attack.
Thank you for reading and reviewing. See you soon.
