Diclaimer on last Chapter and this one: I do not own the Brandon's or Bella and Jasper. I do own Bella's (wolf) family/pack. Okay here's the story now.
Last time…
"Sorry about my mother, she's getting up there in the years." She led us into a living room. "What can I do you and your friend for?"
"Bella can't change back into human form. We were told to come to see a Ms. Brandon." I said taking a seat.
"Well that is serious. I may be able to help you though."
She led us out back and looked and felt quite wary and nervous.
"Are you sure you can do this, ma'am?" I asked when she turned back to us. Her eyes narrowed reminding me of when Alice got mad.
"Are you doubting my capabilities, sir." She shot back at me like a fairy out of Hell.
Beside me Bella made a sound that resembled a chuckle, snapping all attention to her.
"No ma'am, of course I wasn't doubting you." I said politely while sending her a wave of calm with a tad bit of confidence.
"Good because you'll have to go back inside while I do this. Bella and me will need privacy because I can only do one spell at a time."
"What does that have to do with me leaving" I was reluctant to leave the wolf's side. "And why would you need to do two spells?"
"To change her to human and put clothes on her body without a man seeing her naked. Now shoo." She answered waving me off toward the back door. I hesitated but then Bella nodded her head and I decided it best that she not be embarrassed the first time I meet her in human form.
It seemed like hours before I heard the back door open. Before I could stand I was knocked back into the couch and in a very warm, strong embrace. The person in my arms smelled faintly of freesia and strawberries but the wet dog smell that burnt my nose made me stop breathing the god awful smell. Sure I'd smelt it with the wolf when I was close the first time but I stopped breathing quickly and learned to do it quite often when around my companion.
Finally she moved back and our eyes connected, chocolate brown to gold. My jaw dropped and I couldn't quite formulate a good sentence even in my head.
"Bella" I whispered, finally, in shock.
"You act as if you haven't been running beside the last few days, Jasper Hale." She said smiling sweetly.
"You're… You're a wolf?" Was all I could ask, my mouth still hanging open. You would too if the girl you nearly killed many years prior and used to date your brother was just inches from you, and your enemy.
"Awesome observation." She joked laughing a little, before she wrinkled her nose and got off of me. "Man, you reek Jasper."
That snapped me out of it and a smirked. "You don't smell to hot yourself, Darlin'"
She rolled her eyes and turned to Elena.
"Thank you Elena, you don't know how much your help means to me, my family, and my tribe. You are always welcome in our house, if you ever find yourself around the Rockies in Colorado." She said shaking the woman's hand
"Your very welcome Isabella, and you…"
"Jasper" I said shaking her hand.
The minute we were back on our way to the forest to find Sly, I turned to Bella. I had so many questions to ask her.
Bella's POV (Finally)
I knew he wanted answers but I was hungry so we found a twenty-four hour McDonalds and a cowed down a Big Mac and a large order of fries. Jasper just watched me playing with the salad he had ordered, that I would eat next more then likely.
After I was finished we started walking back through the forest to the clearing Sly told us to meet him at.
"I found out after you guys left. Turns out Charlie and Renee adopted me when my parents, friends theirs couldn't take care of me, something about protecting me from something. My mom was Quileute and my dad was from some old Alaskan tribe. See after you left I started blaming myself and I got really out of character, then one day Sam, the Alpha of the Quileute pack just made me really mad because he was keeping me from my friend Jake and I just sort of snapped and jumped him. Next thing you know I'm on all fours, with fur and paws included, and standing in front of a huge black wolf only a little smaller then myself.
"To say I was freaked was an understatement. After Charlie told me about my parentage it started to all click together and I went up to Alaska with Jacob and Embry and we met my dad's brother Gabriel, who is coincidently Embry's father. I found out that my father had died to protect me and my mom from the Volturi and my mom was hidden somewhere.
"I went searching for her all over the world, somehow I ended up where I had intended to. I found my mom in Colorado with another really huge immigrant pack that was originally from France or something like that.
"I don't know how but I over took the Alpha and have become the only female Alpha in the history of every pack I've come across."
"So did you killed the guy or ran him off?" Jasper asked me with raised eyebrows I just chuckled.
"Nope, I married him. Then had his children. I married crazy old Elmer's son."
"Elmer?" The look on Jaspers face was priceless. I couldn't blame him it was a funny name.
"Elmer was Fang's father, left his position as Alpha to his youngest son instead of his oldest." As crazy as they say Elmer was I was glad he gave his position to Fang and not Rolland.
"Why did he do that?"
"I don't know, some say he was crazy, others say he was smart. He's oldest son, Rolland says he was stupid and crazy."
"And you?"
"Don't really know for sure never met him. Mom thinks he was smart and day after day I start to think the same thing. Rolland and his son Titian are bad news and I've learned I have to keep them busy to protect my assets."
"Sounds like he thinks he deserves to be Alpha."
"Yeah but he doesn't have what it takes. The Pack are a we not a me. He only wants to be Alpha so people will listen to what he has to say. It's deeper then that though, being an Alpha is about have the strength to make people listen and the management skills to keep everyone afloat. You have to know how to play the cards when the deck's hot and fold when it's cold."
"Hmm…" That's where the conversation ended. We walked in a comfortable silence all the way to the clearing. It felt good to think human and feel human, it's been so long. A year to be exact.
Jasper hadn't changed, not that I should have thought he would. What did surprise me was his eyes were still a crisp gold and he stuck to the "vegetarian" diet even though it was obvious he was on his own. Alice wouldn't have left him unprotected to get ganged up by a bunch of Volturi punks.
"Hey, why were those Volturi guys after you?" I asked as we sat down in the middle of the clearing waiting for that spirit guide of Jasper's.
"What? How do you know they were Volturi?" He asked with stunned eyes. Either he didn't know who they were, or he couldn't figure out how I knew who they were.
"They just have that smell and posture of fresh guard members, except the leader he wore Aro's crest, that's pretty big stuff. I only know three members that wear that crest, Jane, Alec, and Demetri…" I caught myself rambling and shut my mouth quickly. Jasper was deep in thought and thanks to my enhanced senses I caught I piece of his really low, really fast mumbling.
"…Why would he be after me…I don't get it."
Okay so there goes one of my answers, he had no clue those guys that had ganged up on him had been sent from Volterra.
"So how long you been away from the other Cullens?" I asked. Jasper looked at me puzzled then shook his head of golden locks.
"Oh, it's been three years since the last time I checked in. I only saw Alice and Carlisle though."
Before I could say anything else Sly appeared out of nowhere right in front of us nearly making me jump up and shift.
"Are you ready to say good-bye and go your separate ways?" He asked.
A few minutes later, after a very awkward hug good-bye with Jasper and a good-bye kiss to the adorable Sly, I was on my way home to my pack, my husband, and my children. And I had a feeling it wouldn't be the last time I saw Jasper Hale.
Okay Reviews poeple, I love them. There is one more chapter in Jasper's POV. If you give my six reviews for this chapter I'll give you a sneak peek look at the sequel Wolf in the Woods.
