JAPER POV
My name is Jasper Whitlock. I am a vampire, I feed on animals though not humans. I live with my family, the Cullens. There is Esme, the mother, Carlise, her mate, the father, and leader of the coven. Rosalie, we call her Rose, her mate Emmett. Bella, her mate Edward, and their daughter Nessie. Last but not least, Alice, my ex-wife, and her mate Samatha, we call her Sam. Alice met Sam after the whole thing with Nessie and instantly knew they were mates. She said she was sorry but she wanted to be with Sam and not me, of course I let her go. I would never keep someone from there mate. She told me not to worry that my mate would come along soon and that she would be perfect for me and the family. But who could love a monster like me, I mean I have scars all over my body from my time in the Southern wars.
Anyway back to the present I was sitting in my study ready one of my civil war books that I have read a million times when Alice came bursting in, almost taking the door of its hinges.
"Oh my GOD. She is beautiful and perfect for you. She is from Texas and Emmett will love her because she plays a lot of video games, Rose is going to love her because she is amazing with cars, Edward and Bella will love her because she is going to be great with Nessie and loves to read, Esme and Carlise will love her because she never really had her parents so they will get a real chance to, Sam will love her because the can talk about sports and wrestle together. OH MY GOD SHE IS PERFECT FOR US!" Alice said almost too fast for even me to understand.
"Wow, wow, wow, Alice who are you talking about?" I asked
"Your mate, of course." She looked at me like it was obsessive.
"Alice why are you talking about my mate and how did you know all of those things about her?" I ask because I thought my mate wasn't really but hearing Alice talk about her gives me hope that she is.
"I had a vision idiot. Get ready she will be here in 3 minutes and 46 seconds." She said skipping out of the room.
"Wait, why would she be here we live in the middle of the woods?!" I yelled after her. Before she could answer I heard the most beautiful voice I have ever heard and the most amazing sent. She smelled like vanilla, honey, and Texas. (I'm from Texas and it has a certain smell) She smelled like home.
"I'm taking a rest." She said, Wait why is she taking a rest in the middle of the woods and why does she need a rest?
"I'm Renesmee Cullen " Nessie said to my mate and I could wait to hear what her name was.
"Harley Quinn" She said I could hear Emmett down stairs laughing at her name and I could help but chuckle. I mean who would name their child that. Next thing I know nessie is yelling my name.
"UNCLE JASPER" She yells and I know this is my chance to meet my mate. I run down stairs and stop mid step because the most beautiful person I have ever seen is standing in the doorway.
She has platinum blonde hair that goes down to her hips and one half is a faded baby blue and the other is a bubble gum pink that really makes her look like Harley Quinn. She is really pale and has icy blue eyes that I could get lost in forever. She had curves in all the right places. About 5"6' so 7 inches shorter than me. But she had legs that went on for miles. In short she was perfect.
But if you looked closer you could see that she had bags under her eyes and was too skinny to be healthy.
"Hey Nessie. What do you want?" I asked but I didn't look away from Harley.
"I thought you would want to meet my friend, she is from Texas too." She said and gave me a wink. Damn Alice put her up to this.
"Hello ma'am. I'm Jasper Whitlock." I say and stick out my hand hoping to get a little contact. Instead she shoved her hands in the pockets of her jeans. I checked her emotions on the surface there was discomfort but if you look deeper there was sadness, self loathing, hated, longing, and so much pure hot rage it made the major in me purr. He stopped once he felt all of the sadness she was putting off and started to growl and said to me
'Who caused our mate pain. I WILL END THEM! Don't let her feel like that. We NEED to fix it. We need to fix her.' And he was right whoever hurt my mate to make her feel like this would die and by my hands.
"Harley Quinn" She said, walking backwards. I didn't want her to go. I could already feel the pull with her. But she looked rather uncomfortable so I let her walk away.
After she left the driveway I realized that I was letting my mate walk out into the woods with no car and no food. She was not going to live like this. I would make sure she was fed, clothed, bathed, and got a loving family which she obviously didn't have with her being homeless and all.
By the time I got to her and called out her name she had her thumb up like she was hitchhiking. That was again not going to happen on my watch.
"Damn it." She said turning around to look at me. "What do you want?" She said walking away. That stung a little bit but I understood. I just cost her a ride.
"What were you doing back there?" I asked knowing full well what she was doing, I just wanted to hear her voice.
"Telling the guy he was doing a good job driving what does it look like I was doing dumb ass"She said. I could hear Emmett's laugh at her comment and I found it quite funny. She was a little vixen.
"Okay, why are you hitchhiking?" I ask walking next to her.
"Because I don't have a car." She said. That is the same thing she told Nessie.
"Where are you going?" I see her roll her eyes at me, but I need to know she is my mate.
"Canada." She says not even sparing me a glance.
"Why are you going to Canada?" I am really starting to push my luck now, I can feel it.
"Do I need to walk you home too? Because I really need to get a ride to Seattle and know one is going to pick me up if they think I guy like you is with me." She says and stops walking and faces me
"A guy like me?" I ask with a smirk.
"You are without a doubt the hottest guy I have ever seen. If any women come they will pick you up and try to get in your pants, instead of feeling bad for the 17 year old homeless girl and picking me up." Well shit she is blunt, but I like it, and hearing my mate call me hot is amazing.
"You're homeless?" I ask. I mean I knew that she was but hearing her say it like that makes me wonder how long she has been.
"No shit Sherlock. Now do I need to walk you home or can you be a big boy and walk back yourself?" God I would love nothing more than for you to walk me home.
"Why don't you come inside and you can have a meal and I can give you a ride to Seattle." I ask
"Thanks . Lets go into your house then you can kill me. Thanks but no thanks, I'm fine." She said and started walking away,
"Says the girl who gets into cars with strangers." I say matter-of-factly.
