Sorry guys. I've been having a major case of writer's block lately. Anyway, I'll make it up to you. One of my friends made me promise to write three chapters by the end of this week. So, ENJOY!

BPOV

I never knew it would be this hard. I don't love him, and I don't feel guilty but I can't believe he is dead. And all of those newborns, who never had a choice or a chance. It makes me sick to have seen and caused so much death. I will never forget the looks on their faces as they were ripped apart and burned.

I'm afraid. Part of the danger to my families has been destroyed. I can only hope that we will be able to stop the rest. I can't bear the thought of losing anyone, especially Jasper.

Jasper held me in his arms as I cried for the innocent lives lost today, as I let it all out.

"I am tired of this, tired of the bloodshed and pain. NO ONE fucks with my family, my friends, my mate, and gets away with it. This will end, and all who stand in my way shall fall. This battle just became a war."

A war…I guess it just did. I've never seen Jasper so angry, but having been so close to Alice and Maria, and having the two bitched get away must have gotten to him. The man holding me was a lethal warrior, my god of war. I pity whichever enemy stands before him.

"Today, we will be grateful that we have survived this bloodshed. We shall take care of our mates and relax. We shall let go of anythin' we are feelin'. Tomorrow, we'll find the fuckin' traitor who thought it was a smart move to try and get one over on me, and get rid of the problem. Then, we'll come up with another plan, train some more, and kill the fuckin' bitched who think they can get away with fuckin' with MAJOR JASPER WHITLOCK!"

Everyone in the field nodded to him, grateful for a plan to distract them, for a leader who knew what the hell he was doing. I couldn't be prouder of my major. He went through so much, and is an even more amazing leader because of it.

He looked down at me. "Come on darlin'. Let's get out of here. We've been apart for FAR too long."

He picked me up in his arms and started running. I didn't dare complain. I missed him, and I wasn't sure I could run, anyway. And I also saw the look in his eyes, deadly and intense. This wasn't Jasper, this was the Major Jasper Whitlock, and I knew who was in charge.

He ran us into a small forest-like area. He set me down. "Wait here, angel."

I waited for him to return to me, staring at the sky. I hadn't realized that it was nighttime, already.

Jasper came back quickly, dragging an animal with him. I didn't even look to see which one it was, I was too thirsty. I bit into the animal's neck, and watched as Jasper did the same. We had never shared a meal before. I can't describe it…it was intense, and it felt as if our bond became even stronger.

As soon as we finished, Jasper threw the carcass away from us. He stalked toward me with a predatory look in his eyes. I looked down and got into a submissive pose.

M(the Major)POV

I stared into the eyes on my mate, walkin' forward. She looked down submissively. Looks like she knew who she was dealin' with. But I wasn't sure if this was the best idea.

I pulled up her chin, making her look me in the eyes.

"Darlin' if you would prefer to be with Jasper, not me, say it now."

"No, Major. I will not choose to be with either Jasper or you. You are both parts of the man I fell in love with, and I love both equally. I belong to you. I am your mate. I do not fear you."

The love, confidence, passion, lust, and desire rolling off of her were too much. I kissed her, taking control of her mouth, control she eagerly gave me. Jasper and I were reveling at her acceptance of this side of us.

**LEMON**

She whimpered as I pulled back, but it turned into a gasp when I ripped our clothes off.

"What do you want, my mate."

"Please…"

"Please, what?"

She struggled to catch her breath as I ran a finger down her side, caressing her thighs, and moving closer to her center.

"Please, I need you to take me. I need us to be one again. Please, Major. I need you…"

I didn't let her finish. She had me at Major. I pounded into her mercilessly. I needed to be as close to her as possible. She met me thrust for thrust. I reached down to capture her lips with mine.

She was reachin' the edge quickly, but I wasn't ready for her to finish yet. I used me gift to keep her at the edge. She screamed my name, beggin' me to let her find her release.

I flipped her over, onto her hands and knees. I thrusted faster until we were moving at the blur of vampire speed.

"Ple…Please…Major…need…to…come…"

I let go of her emotions, and pounded into her one last time, spilling inside her as she roared my name. I bit down on her neck again, making another mark. She belonged to me, and I wanted everyone to know it.

**End of Lemon**

She collapsed, unable to hold herself up, and I brought her into my arms. I laid her on her back, and moved down her body reverently, Jasper coming out again now that the Major was satisfied.

The Major may come out for battle, but we were one person with our mate. There was no more battle against each other, we switched easily, knowing neither would ever be locked away, but called upon when needed.

JPOV

I felt myself slip back into the man I was away from the wars, knowing Bella needed me to be gentle with her now. I looked down her body and saw her scars. I was angry that they were there, but that couldn't be helped now. I was also incredibly proud of her for everything she has done.

I took in every scar, ever memento of her strength, the marks of a warrior. My goddess of wrath.

I felt her disgust and hate towards the scars as she noticed the object of my stare.

"Don't feel that darlin'. I feel the same way about your scars as you feel about mine, my goddess."

I kissed every single scar on her body, showing her how much I love her.

She just stared at me with her eyes shining, feeling absolute love and happiness, and I knew she would be crying if she could.

ALICE POV

I watched Maria pace back and forth angrily, while I was held down by Jason, the teleporting newborn.

"Edward is dead, the newborns are dead, and together, Bella and Jasper are unstoppable. Your visions did not foresee this. Why should I keep you alive?"

I can't believe this. I need to think, fast.

"Mistress, please. My visions aren't infallible, but without them you would know nothing at all."

"Lies! My spies will tell me everything I need to know."

"Even your spies cannot see the future."

She froze at this, recognizing truth in my words.

"One betrayal, and you die."

I walked out of the tent with Jason, who accompanied me to my tent.

He took me into his arms, kissing me softly. In response, I wrapped my arms around my mate's neck, pulling him closer to me. He spoke when I pulled back.

"You need to get a message to them. They need to know you're not a traitor or they shall kill you. I can teleport objects. Write a message, and I'll send it to Bella."

I nodded, pulling back.

I went over to my bag, and pulled out a pad and paper.

"Maria just left to hunt, Alice. Don't take too long."

I nodded at his words, and began writing.

BPOV

Jasper and I left the forest at dawn, and began running to a safe house, as he called it.

"Jazz, where are we going, exactly?"

"A safe house." He smirked at me, knowing I wanted a clearer answer.

I raised one eyebrow and glared at him. "Care to be a little clearer on that, sweetheart."

"Very well, dear." He smirked at me, and pulled me into his arms. "We're going to the house Peter, Charlotte, Nandy, Justin, and I stayed in after leaving Maria. It's been kept up and running."

I nodded in understanding.

"I'm capable of walking." I told him.

"I want to hold you." H whispered. "I need to be close to you."

I snuggled closer to him, putting my arms around his neck as he ran. "I love you Jasper."

"I love you too, my angel."

We went on in silence until we reached the house.

As we stepped inside, Jasper put me down, and whispered in my ear.

"Trust no one until we find the traitor."

I nodded as we stepped in. Everyone was already convened in the giant sitting room. Jasper immediately took charge, seeing as everyone was healed and present.

"We must find the traitor. Aro will read the minds of everyone in the room, and I shall test for their truthfulness and loyalty. Bella will bind all of your powers so that should one of you be the traitor, you shall be weakened. I will take no chances."

I quickly bound everyone's powers, making copies of them as I did, just in case I ever had need of them.

We spent all day scanning the minds of all of our allies. However, we couldn't find the traitor.

We all sat in the living room, thinking of whom else was in regular contact with the Volturi.

Suddenly, a letter appeared in my lap.

"Jasper!"

He stopped pacing and ran to my side. Everyone else stopped what they were doing as well, and moved in closer.

"It's a letter from Alice."

Everyone growled at the mention of her name.

"Read it out loud, darlin'."

I looked at the letter and began reading Alice's perfect handwriting.

Dear Bella,

In this letter you will have the answers to many questions that have crossed your mind from the time of my betrayal. The truth is, I never betrayed you. I only made you think that I did. I saw the entire battle, until the point of Edward's death. However, had I not left with him, Nandine would have died in his stead. Leaving with him provided a distraction, and so he was not able to train as well as he wanted.

Jasper and Bella, I am so sorry. I never meant to betray you. Please understand that there was no other way. Bella, I always knew you were Jasper's mate, but if you and Edward hadn't been together first, every single Cullen, including you, would have been killed. Jasper, I never should have tried to change you. I will be forever sorry for this. I never should have kept you from the other half of your family.

I also left, because I saw my mate in a vision, but he was to be turned by Maria. I needed to be there to ensure he lived through the battle. I gained as much of Maria's trust as I could, and am with my mate right now.

The final battle will take place in one month's time, enough time for you all to come up with a plan and train. I understand that you do not want to trust me, but I will do all I can to help you. Attached are all of Maria's plans for the battle. Use them wisely, for they can still change. I will send you messages if I can, but I must be careful not to get caught.

By the way, the traitor is not a vampire. She is human. Aro, I'd rethink having human receptionists, as they seem to be very reliable sources of information for your enemies.
Bella, I know you will be against my idea, and frankly, I could care less for the smell, but having some guard dogs wouldn't hurt. Also, our baseball field outside of Forks would be a perfect place for the battle, secluded as it is. The rain would wash away your scent, so there would be no chance of being followed. I will get a "vision" of your location three days before the battle, and tell Maria. By then, you will be ready.

Please Accept My Apology,

Alice

I was shocked by the time I finished reading the letter. I couldn't believe that Alice never betrayed us. She was only trying to protect us.

"Jasper, what do you think."

"I don't know whether or not to trust her after everythin' that happened."

Peter jumped in. "Major, if it helps, Alice is tellin' the truth."

"And how would you know?"

Peter just raised an eyebrow, pointing out the stupidity of the question. Jasper nodded, acceptance drowning his features.

"As much as I hate it, we'll accept her help. However, it'll be a long time before I trust her again, if I ever do."

I looked towards my mate. "Jazz, what should we do now."

He looked at me, and then at everyone else in the room.

"First, we go to Volterra and deal with the traitor. Then, we go to Forks, and Bella will get the dogs to help. Then, we plan and train as hard as we can so we can destroy any threat to our family."

Aro stepped forward.

"If I may make a suggestion."

Jasper nodded.

"I believe it would be wise if I and my brothers, accompanied by Jane, Alec, and our wives went to Volterra to retrieve the traitor. We will bring her with us to Forks, as she can prove useful in tricking Maria. The wives can stay in Volterra to guard the city."

"Very well, Aro, but I want you in Forks within three days of your departure."

"That can be arranged."

Jasper nodded one last time, and then turned to Rosalie and Esme.

"Book the tickets for the flights."

He then turned to Carlisle and Emmett.

"Find blood bags to supply those feeding on humans for the trip to Forks. I don't want us to have to go hunting for as long as possible."

They nodded and went to do their assigned jobs.

"The rest of you, pack whatever supplies you believe shall be useful. Get moving."

Everyone cleared out of the room, leaving Jasper and I alone. For the first time, I could truly see that the stress of this war was getting to him.

I opened the mind link.

"Jazz, how are you holdin' up."

"Not great, darlin'. This is too much. They all look at me like I am their leader, but I don't know if I am cut out for it. I can't guarantee that they all will survive. I can't guarantee anythin'."

"Jasper, you ARE our leader. Nobody is askin' for any guarantees, just someone who can keep everythin' under control and do whatever he can to TRY to win this. You fit the bill for that. You are a born leader Jazz. You always have been."

He looked at me with a small smile on his lips. "I don't know what I'm doing anymore. This is getting' to be too much. All these memories from leadin' the newborn wars are resurfacin' and I don't know how to deal with them."

I moved closer to him, sitting in his lap. I pulled his hands away from his face and made him look in my eyes.

"You know what you are doing Jazz, you exude confidence and leadership around them. The memories were bound to resurface at some point, but you don't have to deal with them. Just accept that they are a part of your past. You will never be that man again. Remember that."

He wrapped his arms around me, and pressed his lips to his mark on my neck.

"What did I do to deserve you, my angel?"

"You love me." I replied simply.

"That I do. I always will."

He took off the chain I was wearing, and slid the ring off of it.

"I think it is time that this was put back where it belongs."

He slipped the ring back on my finger, and kissed it. "Mine."

I replied, "Forever."

"Forever will never be long enough."
