A/N ok, here's the thing. After I posted the last chapter, I wanted to change the last sentence but since I was at work, I didn't know how I was going to do it. I'm still not for sure how it worked, but I was able to Since I had already had about 20 reviews in those hours between updating and changing the chapter, I had hoped that it would put out a new alert, but it didn't. So…if you were one of those readers who read chapter 3 between Sunday night and Monday morning, please don't think that you are losing your mind! Lol

One thing I need to mention is that the baseball game never happened, so James and Jasper have never met. And now…here's what you guys have been waiting for…;D

I sank down to my knees and covered my face with my hands. I didn't want to see who was headed my way. I felt a jacket cover my body and wanting to thank whoever it was, I looked up and was met with a pair of golden eyes and blonde wavy hair.

"Angel?" I whispered before I lost myself in the darkness.

"Peter…for the last time, leave me the fuck alone! Charlotte, you better get your mate in line before I tear him limb for limb! I've got too much work to do and don't have the fucking time to deal with him." I ran my hands through my hair in anger and frustration. The two newborns in front of me growled at each other before attacking, which was something I didn't want for them to do. I knew they were caught up in my emotions and tried to rein it in. "Fuck!" I muttered before sending them waves of calm and stepped in to separate them.

I thought about my brother and sighed. Peter just would not stop ragging on me to go out. He thought I needed female companionship, when all I wanted was for him to leave me the hell alone. It wasn't like I was going without, I wasn't. But it also didn't escape my attention that all the women I fucked had long brown hair and deep, dark brown eyes. I wasn't for sure what that meant, but I had to admit that it bothered me a little. If I was still on speaking terms with the Cullen's, I'd call Carlisle to find out what he thought. But I wasn't, so I didn't.

I thought about the Cullen's quite a bit, even though I didn't want to. It had really hurt to find that they had secretly blamed me for doucheward leaving Bella. They never took it into consideration that I was attacking him, not the innocent human. They just took it for granted that I had lost control and succumbed to my bloodlust. They didn't know that it was him that was getting ready to drain her dry. I knew though, I felt his emotions.

I tried to explain it to them, but they just wouldn't listen. It was even worse when Alice, my wife and mate, doubted me. That had been the last straw. I could live with everyone else's doubt, but not my mate's. I had left a note, explaining that I had to get away and took off for Peter and Charlotte's house. I knew they lived in Montana and figured it was far away enough to start all over.

Somehow Peter knew I was going to be showing up on their doorstep and met me on their porch. He didn't say anything, just pulled me towards him and crushed me in a hug. "Jas, I don't know what happened and really it doesn't make a fuck, but you're home with us now…just like you were meant to be." I looked at him in amazement. It always astounded me how he could tell what was going to happen without seeing it in a vision like Alice. The man just always fucking knew shit. Most of the time he didn't let anyone forget it.

Charlotte came out and gave me a kiss on the cheek, before leading me into their house. She led me up the stairs without saying a word and stopped in front of a closed door. "We've had this room ready for you, Jasper. We were just waiting on you to come home." She opened the door and gave me another kiss before turning away.

"Charlotte? Thank you." I put all the love and gratitude into my words as she simply nodded her head and left me alone. I looked around my new room and had to smile. It was all done in blues and grays, confederate colors. The king-size bed was covered with a confederate flag comforter. That made me chuckle. Peter and Charlotte always knew the real me. I didn't have to pretend to be someone or something I wasn't around them. I knew at that moment I had made the right decision to come to Montana. I may have sired the both of them, but they were more like family to me than the Cullen's could have ever been.

To say I was shocked to find out what Peter and Charlotte had been doing all this time would've been an understatement. It seemed that the two of them had been working for Aro, training newborns for the Volturi royalty. Only the most talented and strongest were selected for the guards, while the rest were employed as laborers. Peter took me to Italy to introduce me to the brothers and Aro was excited to finally meet 'The God of War'. My reputation had surely preceded me. He immediately tried to convince me to join his guards, but I was reluctant to. I had heard of the atrocities they had committed on wayward vampires and I didn't want anything to do with that. He finally convinced me to take over the training of the newborns, working closely with Peter and Charlotte. That I could handle, so I accepted. There was one stipulation which I insisted on. I would not bite the humans and drink their blood. Peter knew that for me to have complete control over the newborns, they would need to have my venom running through their veins. Charlotte was the one to come up with the idea of using a syringe to inject my venom directly into their heart. That way, my venom would flow with their blood throughout their body during the change. I agreed and her plan worked beautifully. I was able to maintain the newborn's loyalty without having to go against my preferred way of life.

It wasn't that I didn't crave the taste of human blood because I really, really did. I just didn't want to go back to the guilty emotions of taking another life. I didn't begrudge Peter and Charlotte for their crimson eyes, because I knew they only fed from the low-lifes of the world. I could've followed their lead, but I sure didn't want to get back on that train again.

I would be lying to myself if I didn't admit that I would forever be thankful to Carlisle for showing me another way to survive. But being thankful didn't erase the anger I felt towards him and Esme, the parentals for all intents and purposes. I was angry because they never considered that dipward could do any wrong. The coven (I would never call it 'our' coven again) would follow his every whim. When he convinced the family to up and move after the birthday party for her safety, no one argued with him. They just followed like the sheep they were. It really pissed me off that no one took Bella's feelings into consideration. Assward was sure that she would forget about us and move on with her life, getting married and having babies. He figured that's what a normal human girl would do, but I knew Bella wasn't a normal human girl. I argued that it wasn't right to just leave her without saying goodbye at least, but once again, bastward got his way. Emmett was on my side, but we were out-voted.

That was the night I left my wife and family of sixty years. I couldn't believe that a family that professed their love for Bella would suddenly up and leave her. To me, it spoke volumes of the kind of people they were and I didn't want to have any part of them anymore. I often wanted to go back to Forks to see how she was doing, but was afraid she would hate me for them deserting her. I was sure that she blamed me too. I knew that she had hoped to be turned so she could spend eternity with fuckward, but I also knew that he had no intentions of allowing that to happen. He never told her that though, just kept stringing her along, controlling everything she did. A memory of her dancing with her feet on his like a little girl dancing with her father came to mind and I snorted. Total control.

A clearing of the throat brought me back from my trip down memory lane. I noticed that Charlotte was giving me that look. "What?" I asked her, rather harshly. I regretted it as soon as I saw her eyes narrow. That woman could give anyone a run for the money in a stare-down contest.

"Major, I hate to admit this, but I actually agree with Peter." When he let out a snort, she wheeled around to give him a withering look. I smirked at him before she turned back to face me. Of course I had plastered an innocent look on my face before she could notice. "I think we all could do with a night out on the town." When I started to interrupt and give her a million reasons why I couldn't go, she held up her hand to silence me. "Just to go out and have some fun. I think you…we deserve it."

When he saw the indecisive expression on my face, Peter began woo-hooing. I just rolled my eyes at him. "Ok Charlotte, for you," I gave him a pointed look, "I'll go out. It has been a while."

Peter started pumping his fists in the air. "Excellent! Aro and the brothers wanted to go out to this club tonight, so we can all go together. It's a vamp club so we don't have to worry about you wanting to eat anyone." He had a shit-eating grin on his face.

Once again I rolled my eyes at him. "Fuck you, Peter!" I had never told them the whole story about why I left Forks, just that it was time for me to move on. But I knew that they knew something had happened, especially when I showed up without Alice. Not that that mattered in the least. They never liked Alice and couldn't understand why I was with her. After years of trying to explain, I had just given up. Alice didn't like them either so it made visiting that much harder. She was always afraid that they would lead me back to my old way of life. I smirked at that thought. Yes, I had gone back to my old ways since I was training newborns again. No, I hadn't gone back to feeding off of humans. I felt pretty proud about that. "What time are we leaving?" I asked Charlotte since I wasn't speaking to Peter at the moment.

Charlotte smiled at me, noticing that I was ignoring Peter. "We're going to meet Aro and the gang around seven. Can you be ready by then?"

I nodded at my sister. "Sure. I'll meet you guys there."

Peter walked up to me and put his arm around my shoulders. "Jasper, it's very important that you be there tonight, ok?" he said in a low voice.

I turned to look at him and was shocked at his expression. Peter always had a happy-go-lucky grin on his face, unless he was pissed and then his expression could even scare me. But now he had the most serious look on his face and I knew that this meant something. Fuck! "Sure Pete. I'll be there." He nodded his head and walked away. I glanced at Charlotte, but she shrugged her shoulders. She didn't know what he meant either.

I finished off the day and returned to my room. I jumped into the shower and enjoyed the pulsating beat of the hot water beating against my cold skin. I thought about what Peter had said to me earlier in the day, but couldn't figure out what was so important about me being at the club. I decided it wouldn't do me any good to spend anymore time dwelling on it and finished up my shower.

I stepped into my closet, trying to decide what to wear. According to Peter, tonight was supposed to be important, but without knowing why it was important, I was clueless. I finally decided to just wear what I would normally wear and selected a black button-down shirt and a pair of blue jeans. I got dressed and pulled on my biker boots. As I walked downstairs, I heard some whistling and smirked at Charlotte. I absolutely loved my sister!

She walked in a circle around me, eyeing me up and down. "Damn Major! If I wasn't married, I'd fuck you in a heart-beat." I heard Peter growl and raised an eyebrow at him.

He was at her side in a vampire second and pulled her to his side. "Well, you are so there's no use in talking about it," he growled.

Charlotte and I laughed at his possessiveness. We all knew that they were soul-mates and only a fiery pyre could separate them. I felt a twinge of jealousy at the thought of their closeness, but quickly pushed that emotion away. I had no time to spend looking for my soul-mate, so for the time being, I would enjoy the love they had for each other. I grabbed my leather jacket and headed for the door. "Are you guys ready to leave?"

Nodding, Peter and Charlotte grabbed their own leather jackets and followed me to the garage. Once I opened the overhead door, I felt my face split into a huge grin. There she stood…a chromed out, black 2010 CVO Fat Bob Harley Davidson. I loved Harley's and got a new one every year ever since they began making them for the military during WW1. The raw power they emitted was very addicting. I swung a leg over the seat and started it. I had to admit that the deep rumbling made me hard and I had to adjust myself a little. I looked over at Peter and Charlotte and saw that she had climbed behind him on his bike. Usually she rode her own so I was surprised when she decided to ride with him. I motioned for them to take off and followed out behind them.

We pulled up to what looked like a deserted warehouse and parked our bikes behind the building. Peter led us down some steps and pushed a door open. I held the door while they walked through and followed them to a table in the middle of the room, where Aro and his brothers were holding court.

"Jasper! So nice of you to join us." Aro held out his hand for me to shake.

I ignored his hand. "Yeah, Peter and Charlotte decided that I needed a night out on the town, so here I am." Aro didn't miss the fact that I didn't shake his hand and if the look on his face didn't convince me, his emotions sure did. He was pissed. It was a rule of mine never to let him touch my hand. I sure didn't need him to go looking through my past, especially where Bella was concerned. We had laws regarding humans having knowledge of vampires and the fact that she knew and was still alive wouldn't go over very well.

I took off my jacket, slung it across the back of my chair and rolled up my sleeves. As much as I hated all the scars covered my arms and chest, they helped to convince other vampires that I was not someone they should fuck with. I watched Peter pull out a chair for Charlotte before asking her what she wanted to drink. I had to laugh at that. It seemed like this club had all blood types available for their customers. I raised an eyebrow at him, wondering if all they had was human blood.

Peter seemed to read my mind. "They also serve different types of animal blood so you can take your pick of carnivores or herbivores."

I simply nodded my head, but inside I was grateful. "Ok, let's go see what they've got."

I led the way over to the bar and noticed they had panther blood. It had been a long time since I had any, so I decided to get a glass of that. Peter ordered for him and Charlotte and after we got our drinks, we made our way back to our table. I couldn't help but notice the stares I got from some of the other vampires and neither could Peter. He leaned over and murmured, "Looks like you've captured their attention, huh Major?"

I rolled my eyes and sat down between Charlotte and Marcus, one of Aro's brothers. He had always been an enigma to me. There were never any emotions coming from him and he hardly ever spoke, so it was a shock to me when he leaned over and spoke softly in my ear. "You're in for a treat tonight, Major. The entertainment is going to be spectacular. I'm not for sure what she's going to do, but Aro and Caius speak highly of her." When he saw the puzzled expression on my face, he continued. "Her master, well…let's say he rents her out to vampires. I've been told the taste of her blood is exquisite and can produce feelings of euphoria while in the throes of sex."

I had to swallow back the venom that pooled in my mouth. On one hand, this human sounded like someone I would like to meet, but on the other, it was disgusting to think that her body was being bought and sold. I stared into his crimson eyes. "So she's a human whore he pimps out to vampires."

Marcus simply nodded his head. "Aro and Caius already had her."

"But not you?" I asked.

He shook his head. "No, that is something I wouldn't be interested in."

I waited for him to finish explaining, but he turned his head to answer a question from one of the guards so I knew this conversation was over. I thought about this human girl. What on earth could've happened to make her turn to this life? I knew desperate times made people do desperate things, but this was going a little too far. My thoughts were interrupted when the lights went down. Knowing a human was going to be entering, I held my breath. It wasn't that I was afraid of losing control, I just didn't want to take any chances.

Peter turned and gave me a hard look before turning back towards the stage. I wondered what that look meant and then I heard it…the voice of an angel. I gasped when I looked at the stage and then her scent hit me. What. The. Fuck! I started to stand up, but Marcus placed his hand on my arm and shook his head. "It's not time yet," he told me. I looked at him like he was crazy, but he just shook his head again. "Wait."

I sat back in my chair and studied the vision that was on the stage. Bella fucking Swan! What the fuck was she doing here? And then what Marcus told me finally hit. She was the tasty treat that vampires paid to sample. I reached out to feel her emotions, but there wasn't anything there. It was like she was just a shell of the person she used to be. Peter must've known that I was losing my cool because he gave me that hard look again. I leaned back in my chair and decided to wait on whatever was supposed to happen.

This wasn't the same Bella that had worshipped my so-called brother. This Bella was all woman. I was transfixed by her singing and her appearance. She was fucking beautiful, looking like the angel she sounded like. As she sang, she kept her eyes closed but as she neared the end of the song, I smelled the salty scent of her tears. I started to pick up on her hopelessness and could feel a growl starting in my chest. Peter heard it and gave me that look again. "Just a little longer," he mouthed. I didn't know how much more I could take. All I wanted to do was run up on stage and take her in my arms to protect her and give her back some hope. A standing ovation by the audience brought me out of my thoughts.

Just then a vampire with stringy blonde hair walked out on the stage. "Not bad for a human, huh?" The audience went wild. They could smell the scent of her blood and tears. He held up a hand to quiet them. "Our Bella has many talents, as I'm sure many of you have heard."

Waves of agony, fear, worthlessness and embarrassment hit me, almost bringing me to my knees. I knew the emotions were coming from Bella as I heard her beg him not to go through what he had planned. I wanted to kill the bastard. He was keeping Bella as a pet, letting anyone who had enough money use her for her body and blood.

His response was to laugh cruelly at her before he turned back to the audience. "I've got a special surprise for you all. How much would it be worth to spend some quality time with my Bella?" I noticed Bella trying to get away from him, but he had a tight grip on her arm.

"$500," someone from the audience yelled out.

James sneered at the voice. "Please…I get more than that for just a few minutes with her!"

I grabbed Peter by the arm and pulled him closer to me. "Is this what was supposed to happen?" I snarled at him as the bids kept going higher and higher. I tried to push waves of calm towards Bella, but her emotions were so out of control, I didn't think any of it was making it through.

I could feel anger coming from the vampire as the bids slowly made it to $5000. "Maybe you all need a little incentive…" He reached over and tore the top of Bella's dress down, stripping her down to her waist. Tears were streaming down her face as she struggled to cover her breasts but he grabbed hold of her wrists and she was helpless. I couldn't help the gasp that escaped when I saw the scars on her body. I noticed fresh scars crossing her chest and saw red. What the fuck had happened to her?

I felt venom building up in my mouth and knew it wasn't her blood I was after. I wanted this vampire dead. I wanted to be the one to light a match under his ass for everything he had put Bella through. It dawned on me that, while leaving to keep Bella safe, the Cullen's had done the exact opposite. They knew that some rogue vampires had been killing in Port Angeles, but left her undefended anyway. Hatred for them built up in my chest until I thought I was going to explode.

Then it happened…all at once. I felt my phone vibrate and saw I had a text message. I opened it and all it said was "go." At the same time, Peter and Marcus turned to me and mouthed "go."

"$100,000!" I yelled out, jumping to my feet and grabbing my jacket. As I walked to the stage, I made myself go at a human pace so I didn't scare Bella.

A hush descended on the crowd, shock being the single emotion I could feel. I didn't care what they thought; I only knew that I needed to get to Bella. The vampire stared at me with his mouth hanging open. He quickly shook it off and yelled, "We've got a winner!"

As I got closer to the stage, I noticed Bella sinking to her knees, covering her face with her hands. All the emotions I felt from her earlier were slamming into me again. When I reached her, I pushed the vampire out of the way and placed my jacket around her shoulders. I felt gratitude along with her other emotions as she raised her face to mine. I saw her eyes widen in amazement as she stared into mine.

"Angel?" she whispered before her eyes rolled back into her head. I reached out and gathered her in my arms before she could hit the floor. Angel?
