Chapter 7

BPOV

I ran with my father towards the throne room. When we got there, I noticed that the visitor was not yet in the throne room. However, the Volturi coven was, along with Eleazar's coven and the Irish coven.

Maggie, I'm guessing it was, seemed a little nervous, so I gave her an encouraging smile, which she returned. It hurt a little to see Alec with Maggie, but I was happy for him.

"Come, my daughter, we had another throne added. You now sit between my throne and Aro's."

The throne was beautiful, and I said so. I got a smile Caius in return. He picked it, go figure. It was a gold throne with intricate Gaelic designs engraved into it. The seat and back were a beautiful black velvet with red accents.

"Uncle Aro, who is the visitor?"

As if on cue, the doors to the throne room were thrown open and in walked…Jasper Hale.

The shit is about to hit the fan my friend.

As he walked toward the thrones, he kept his head down. He hadn't noticed me yet.

"Your majesties, I have come to request that I may join your coven."

This is when he decided to look up, and then…..his jaw dropped.

"Bella! Edward and pixie bitch said that you were probably dead. Are you alright?" I could tell that he knew EXACTLY what was going on between dick and bitch. Damn, he looked like he was someone else. And mind you, that someone else was hot as fuck.

"Izzy, actually. And as to what Dickward and pixie bitch said, I really don't give a flying fuck. They can go jump into a volcano for all I care. The old Bella is gone. I refuse to be the pathetic human shy pushover anymore. The second I see either one of them I am ripping them to pieces. When I found out my best friend was fucking my fiancé I called my werewolf of a little brother, and got my ass on a plane. The second I got here, I went from Bella to Izzy, who is Marcus' daughter, and soon going to be the crowned princess of the Volturi."

Once I was done, I noticed Jasper was frozen in shock. I took that second to look him over. I never really got to know Jasper, since Fuckward and fairy were too scared for me to let me near him. Then I noticed all of his scars, and I remembered that Dickward never told me his history, too afraid that I was too fragile and innocent to hear it. But still, I didn't really care, he was so hot I wanted to strap him to my bed and have my way with…Hold up a sec!

Where are these thoughts coming from!

Jasper is my brother…

Jasper is my brother…

Jasper is my brother…

Jasper is my brother…

I kept repeating this to myself, before I jumped him right there.

I noticed he wass staring at me, with a smirk on his lips. Oh Shit! Fuck! Empath! Now would be a great time to figure out how to use my shield.

The second I thought that, I felt something expand over me, cacooning me in warmth and protection. I also noticed that Jasper looked confused.

"Shit! I think I used my shield!"

Everyone whipped around to stare at me.

"Ummm..did I say that out loud?"

Jasper finally spoke again, "Yea darlin', ya did."

Fuck. Me. Sideways. Southern accent…..fuck. my. life.

So much for clean thoughts of my brother, now all I wanted to do was save a horse, ride a cowboy.

"Wells, my niece, I'm glad you have figured out to use one of your powers." Aro continued, talking to Jasper, "As for you, I would be honored to have the god of war in my coven. Will you keep your last name as Hale, or change it to Volturi?"

"Actually, I think I'll change it back to Whitlock. I ain't been Jasper Whitlock for a while, but I'm startin' to think I should go back to my roots."

"That's perfectly fine. Izzy, you two have much to talk about. Why don't you escort Mr. Whitlock to his room. It will be the one next to yours. Help him get settled. When you're ready, come back here and we'll discuss your coronation. Jasper, you may come as well. I think you will serve well as Izzy's personal guard. Together, I believe you would be unstoppable in a fight, between her powers, and your fighting skills."

I was shocked, but also a little excited to have Jasper as my guard.

"I'd be honor'd to be her guard, Marcus."

Marcus nodded at Jasper, pleased with his response.

I stood from my throne, and motioned to Jasper to follow me.

APOV

"Marcus, not that I am opposed to the boy being Izzy's guard, but you do not make the decisions without consulting me. What were you thinking?"

"I was thinking that this was the perfect way for Bella to connect with her soul mate."

Marcus just stared at me smirking while the vampires in the throne room, including myself, were shocked into silence again.

Caius broke the silence. "This should be interesting."

It most certainly would be. The two most powerful vampires were soul mates. Let us be grateful they are on our side and not against us.

JPOV

I finally got off the damn plane, and stole the first fast car I saw. It was about midnight when I reached Volterra.

I walked in, and approached the secretary, Gianna.

"May I speak to the kings, it is quite urgent. Tell them it is Jasper of the Cullen Coven."

"Ah yes, Mr. Hale. Give me just a moment."

I took that moment to try and control the beast trying to break free inside of me. But I was barely hanging on.

"The masters ask that you walk to the throne room now."

"Thank you."

I walked through the halls, towards the throne room. I pushed open the door and kept my gaze down. If I began to feel threatended by all of the vampires there, the beast would break free easily.

"Your majesties, I have come to request that I may join your coven."

This is when I decided to look up, and then…..no fucking way.

"Bella! Edward and pixie bitch said that you were probably dead. Are you alright?" I could tell that she knew EXACTLY what was going on between the two. Damn, she had changed so much. She was a vampire now, obviously, but she looked like a woman rather than the teenager who was with Edward. Her hair looked amazing, and her body….well fuck she was hot. The animal inside me seemed to agree with me, wanting to claim her. Honestly, I really didn't care that she was supposed to be my sister.

"Izzy, actually. And as to what Dickward and pixie bitch said, I really don't give a flying fuck. They can go jump into a volcano for all I care. The old Bella is gone. I refuse to be the pathetic human shy pushover anymore. The second I see either one of them I am ripping them to pieces. When I found out my best friend was fucking my fiancé I called my werewolf of a little brother, and got my ass on a plane. The second I got here, I went from Bella to Izzy, who is Marcus' daughter, and soon going to be the crowned princess of the Volturi."

I was frozen in shock. I was filled with pride that little Miss Bella finally grew a back bone.

Then I noticed that she was looking me up and down and…Christ! She was sooo eye-fucking me. Imagine what Emmett would say if he knew his sister was filled with lust for me so soon after she left Edward's ass in Forks.

I stared at her, with a smirk on his lips. When she noticed, she seemed to remember that I was an empathy and was filled with embarrassment and annoyance. The second I thought that, I felt something block me, keeping me from feeling her emotions. I'm sure I looked confused.

"Shit! I think I used my shield!"

Everyone whipped around to stare at her. Ah, a dhield. That explains how she was able to block vampire powers.

"Ummm..did I say that out loud?"

"Yea darlin', ya did."

Damn. She looked so lustful when my accent came out. I guess I'll have to use it more often.

"Wells, my niece, I'm glad you have figured out to use one of your powers." Aro continued, talking to me now, "As for you, I would be honored to have the god of war in my coven. Will you keep your last name as Hale, or change it to Volturi?"

"Actually, I think I'll change it back to Whitlock. I ain't been Jasper Whitlock for a while, but I'm startin' to think I should go back to my roots."

It had been so long since I used that name. Charlotte and Peter still used it. Ah, my brother and sister. It's been far too long. I'm gon' have to pay them a visit soon. Maybe I can bring Isabella?

"That's perfectly fine. Izzy, you two have much to talk about. Why don't you escort Mr. Whitlock to his room. It will be the one next to yours. Help him get settled. When you're ready, come back here and we'll discuss your coronation. Jasper, you may come as well. I think you will serve well as Izzy's personal guard. Together, I believe you would be unstoppable in a fight, between her powers, and your fighting skills."

I was shocked, I would be Izzy's guard. And wait, did he say powers? As in plural? It seemed Miss Isabella and I have a lot to talk about.

"I'd be honor'd to be her guard, Marcus."

Marcus nodded at me pleased with my response.

Izzy stood from her throne, and motioned for me to follow her.

We ran to my new room in silence. A strained and uncomfortable silence, because all I wanted to do was rip that dress off of her and fuck her against the wall of the castle. As it was, my pants were way too tight.

"All right Jasper. This is your room .You probably want to change so just go into the closet. I saw Jane and Heidi sneak out of the throne room so they probably have everything set."

"Alright darlin', just give me a second. I'll call you in when I'm ready. We have a lot to talk about."

I smiled, and was happy that she sent one right back to me.

I walked into my room and was shocked. It was absolutely perfect. Light, wooden, simple furniture. The bed in the corner was made with light brown covers, accented with red. There was a desk in the other corner, and the walls were covered in books. Many, I saw, were about the civil war.

I went into the walk in closet. I was amazed again. Not only were the two girls obviously fanatic shoppers, but they actually went with your tastes, unlike pixie bitch. I ripped off ALL of my clothes and made a mental note to burn them. I decided to go commando, putting on a pair of loose fit, worn jeans. I threw on a black wife-beater, and a pair of black cowboy boots. To top it off, I grabbed the cowboy hat that matched the boots. The only thing I kept from before was my black leather Cullen crest.

I walked over to the door and opened it.

BPOV

Oh. MY. FUCKING. GOD.

This is my torture. Jasper opened the door dressed like a cowboy from any girl's wet dream. I'm pretty sure my jaw dropped.

"You gonna stand there eye-fuckin' me all day darlin', or are ya gonna come in."

Old Bella would have blushed and ran away.

"Mmmm. Not sure. On one hand you look hot as hell standing there, cowboy. On the other hand, there is a brand new bed in your room made of re-inforced titanium. After all, I've always wanted to save a horse and ride a cowboy."
