I don't know how long I had been crying before Vickie and Jane appeared, wrapping me up in their arms. When I had managed to calm down, I explained what had happened during my day, all the way up to Rose and Emmett being in my room.

"I have no idea what was said but seeing Jasper like that brought back way too many memories and I got scared."

Vickie took my hand in understanding as Jane looked at us both in confusion. Vickie then gave her a re-hash of what had taken place with James, with me adding the parts she didn't know about. By the time we had finished, Jane was pacing my room growling under her breath.

"So what you're trying to tell me is in the space of nine months you have been tracked , almost killed, bitten, left to die in the middle of the forest, became friends with a group of shape shifters, been hospitalised, jumped off a cliff and found out that you are His Majesty's mate?"

I nodded, only to end up jumping as Jane suddenly appeared right in front of me.

"Do you know what we need to do? GO CLUBBING!"

Vickie smirked at Jane before I suddenly found myself being dragged into my bathroom. Without blinking, Jane had me stripped and was pushing me into the shower telling me not to wash my hair as Vickie and her went off to find me clothing.

"Isabella, what do you think you are doing?"

Choosing to ignore him, I had the world's quickest shower having no need to shave or wash my hair. Walking out into my bedroom wrapped only in a towel I noticed that Sally and another female that I didn't recognise had joined the girls in going through my clothing. Sally turned around and gave me one of her dazzling smiles before quickly introducing me to Charlotte, who ignoring my state of undress, pulled me in for a hug.

"Don't worry love, you're in good hands. Peter sends his love, by the way, and says that he'll catch up with you later."

I nodded before I was yet again pulled back into the bathroom, however, this time it was by Sally. Honestly, what was with these vampires and need to pull me about like a rag doll.

"Sorry about the rush in getting you ready Isabella. You see us girls don't really go out much, and in some cases not at all and well having you here has made life for us well fun again."

I sighed and allowed Sally to do my hair and makeup noticing that she was far gentler with me than when Alice had used to do my hair. Once she was done she whipped me back in the room saying that I couldn't see what they had done until I was dressed. When I finally did get to look, I was amazed.

Sally had barely touched me with the makeup and had only curled and fluffed my hair out a bit, so it had bounce. The girls had chosen to dress me a knee length dark purple summer dress with a slightly plunged neckline. It showed off my body without being skin tight nor making me look like I was trying to be someone I wasn't. Alice never really got that, nor had Lea. They believed short and tight were the best way for a woman to show off what they had. There was one problem with the outfit however, the shoes that Charlotte had picked out for me.

"Charlotte, I don't know if anyone has told you but I can't walk across a flat surface without tripping over. Me wearing six inch heels is just asking for disaster."

Charlotte shook her head at me before insisting that I wear them.

"Love, believe me when I say you're going to be fine. Firstly, you're going to be surrounded by vampires all night so if you do fall, one of us will be there to catch you and secondly, from what I've been told the whole time you've been here you haven't tripped once."

I sighed and held out my foot for her to put on the heels. They were the same colour as the dress and to my amazement actually cushioned inside so my feet wouldn't hurt by the end of the night.

I waited with Sally as the girls went to get changed.

"Sometimes I love my gift. It makes getting ready that much easier and it also means I don't have to deal with people snooping around in my chambers."

Half an hour later we were standing the Volturi's garage watching as Jane and Vickie argued over which cars we were going to use. In the end Sally put her foot down and said that we would take the limo for two reasons. One being it would fit all of us in it and two if we didn't leave soon Aro and Jasper would find out that we were going out without their permission. It was amazing how quickly they moved after that.

Before long I found myself sitting down in the VIP section of a club called 'The Nightmare', which just happened to be owned by Jane and Alec, watching the dance floor below. I couldn't help but watch the half naked bodies of some of the dancers and dream of what it would be like to down there. However, I was under strict orders and one of them was that unless one of the girls was with me I couldn't leave the VIP area and at the moment none of them were about. Not all the people here where human and it hadn't been made public that I was Jasper's mate. I also learnt that vampires could, in fact, drink alcohol and get a high from it for an hour or two before the effects wore off, so the girls were currently at the bar ordering us drinks.

I stood up and moved to where I could get a better look at the dancer's below. It was easy to spot the vampires but only because I knew what to look for. I wondered if they knew that they sparkled under the lighting. Letting my eyes glace across the room they were suddenly drawn to a pair of bright green eyes. My breath caught as I found myself drawn to him. I watched as he weaved his way through the crowd coming closer to me, never once letting his eyes leave mine. Without thinking I found myself walking down the flight of stairs that separated the VIP section from the rest of the club, only stopping when I reached a barrier that blocked me from the dance floor. Part of me, the sensible part wouldn't let me go any further, keeping me safe behind the rope and the vampire bouncer. The part of me that wasn't thinking wanted me to keep going and actually touch the mysterious man.

"You don't have to hide you know. I promise you I won't hurt a beautiful looking girl as you."

The moment he spoke, I blinked and moved so I was standing on the small platform at the base fo the stairwell so there was more distance between us. While his voice was as beautiful as his eyes, a strong part of me realised that he wasn't completely human.

"Now, now little girl no need to be scared of me. Why don't you come and spend time with me? You'll see that you have nothing to be scared of."

I shook my head and slowly back away even further only to collide with Sally and Jane, who were both glaring at the young man in front of us. Sally pulled me behind her causing me collide with Charlotte, who had also just appeared.

"Char, darling why don't you take Isabella here back up to our seats We will deal with the mutt."

I didn't argue as Charlotte took my arm and threaded it with hers before she took me back up stairs. Less than a second after she had sat me down, Sally and Jane were in front of me.

"Isabella, I need to know, did you let him touch you?"

I shook my head.

"No, I stayed behind the rope and bouncer. It felt like I had no control of my movements."

All three of the girls looked relieved and took the drinks that Vickie had returned with. My hand was shaking that much that Vickie placed mine on the table before turning around to ask what had happened.

"Isabella had a run in with a werewolf. Don't worry he didn't even get close enough to her to do any damage. From what the bouncer said, as soon as Isabella managed to she backed away from him as fast as possible. Which reminds me Isabella, the guard said the moment the mutt spoke you broke the hold he had on you. How'd you do that?"

I blinked and opened and closed my mouth a few times before answering.

"I don't know. The moment he opened his mouth, I realised something wasn't right and I backed up but I don't understand what happened. I mean I was watching the dancing and the next thing I was aware of was that I was standing at the bottom of the steps."

"Werewolves have this power, if you could call it that, that allows them to gain control over a person. It's an easy way for them to feed and also to find a mate. Now I know Jasper told you about imprinting or at least how it came about, and you've seen it first hand with a shape shifter. With werewolves, however, they aren't the ones that do the imprinting, it's the human. The reason we asked if he had touched you was because that is how the imprinting happens. Now enough about this, we are supposed to be having a good time. "

I gave her a weak smile before downing my drinking in one go without thinking, causing the girls to laugh as I started to cough. It was Charlotte who came to my rescue.

"Darling, these aren't your everyday drinks. They are made for vampires, so next time I suggest that you take it slow. Now what do you say to hitting the dance floor?"

That prospect got me to jump to my feet causing all the girls to giggle at my eagerness. One of the things that the packhad taught me how do was to dance. Sam once made the comment if he had imprinted on Emily, he wouldn't have been able to keep his hands off me, earning him a slap across the head from Emily. Sally and I partnered up first and by the time we had finished we had gathered a few admires but they kept their distance. It wasn't until Vickie and I started to dance did things start to go downhill. At first they kept their distance, just watching and dancing closer until one guy got the nerve to worm his way closer to me. I suddenly felt two hands on my hips before being pulled back against a hot sweaty chest as he continued to grind his crouch against my leg. I could tell the girls were ready to step in when I shook my head at them. This I could handle. I was the daughter of the Chief of Police for heaven's sake. The first thing the man taught me how to do was defend myself.

Without warning I turned around and gave him one of my killer smiles, that I had been informed would make any male beg at my feet. I then leant forward so my mouth was close to his ear so he could hear me.

"I suggest that you take your hands off me if you still wish to produce children."

Without warning I brought my knee up so it connected with his manhood so hard that I knew from past experiences would cause him to drop. I stepped back just in time as he hit the floor with tears running from his eyes.

"I suggest next time you touch someone, you ask first. I also suggest you learn how to dance because as far as I am concerned that was you humping my leg not dancing."

I turned around only to come face to face with a very pissed off Jasper. Rolling my eyes at him, I stepped around him and made my way back upstairs ignoring the fact he was following me. The gasp from the floor down below just proved to me how many vampires where down there. I grabbed the nearest drink and sank into one of the chairs before looking a very pissed off Jasper in the eyes. That was a really bad idea. My insides turned to goo, and it wasn't because I was scared. Angry Jasper equalled 'I want to strip you and take you right here, who cares that we are in a public venue Jasper'.

The smirk that crossed his face told me he could tell exactly what he was doing to me as he caged me in between his arms pinning me to the chair and bent forward so his mouth was right next to my ear.

"Isabella, you have really pushed your luck tonight. You're lucky that Peter managed to keep me back just then or there would be one less bag of food walking around. That doesn't mean that I will not punish you when we get back to the castle Isabella. Then we will have a nice little talk about the werewolf incident."

I didn't have time to ask him how he knew about it before he captured my mouth with his, claiming me in front of not only the group but also every other vampire that was currently in the club with us. I wanted to struggle to get away from him. My alarms were going off telling me he was forcing me into something I wasn't ready for but my body was telling me to let down my walls and go with the flow. It was that part I listened to and kissed him back. My body felt like it was on fire as soon as his tongue entered my mouth and by the sounds coming from him, I wasn't the only one.

He pulled back and rested his forehead against mine letting me take a much needed breath.

"This doesn't mean that I give in you know. I am willing to say yes I am your mate, but it doesn't mean that I am rushing into anything. We are going to do this properly Jasper. We are going to date and you're going to have to earn my trust. I have been hurt twice now Jasper, and I am not going to go for three in a row because I know I will not make it."

Jasper stood back and held his hand for me to take, throwing back my drink that was somehow still in my hand, I shuddered before placing my hand in his. I started to blush as the sound of applause filled my ears causing me to want to bury my head into Jasper's chest. However, I flashed everyone a quick smile before looking around for a way out. I was in luck in the form of Charlotte, who suggested that it was late, and I would need to sleep soon. The look that Jasper gave me told me that I wouldn't be getting any sleep until he said so. I raised my eye brow at him in question.

"We will speak when we get home Isabella and not before."

I rolled my eyes before allowing him to pull me close to his side as we made our way out of the club and into the cold air of the evening. Instead of walking towards the limo that we had arrived in, Jasper pulled me along until we got to a dark blue Lexus. After making sure I was strapped in tight he sped through the night. I didn't notice we were heading away from the castle until the lights of the town faded away. Not a word was spoken through the entire ride, though from the emotions that were radiating off Jasper, he wasn't all that happy with me. I dozed off only to be woken by Jasper lifting me out of the car. It was too dark to see much but from what little I could see we were in the middle of a vine yard.

"I am going to let you sleep Isabella, considering the amount you drank tonight. However, this doesn't mean that you are off the hook as we will talk about your behaviour tomorrow."

I closed my eyes and snuggled closer into his chest, not caring for the first time what tomorrow would bring.

I woke up screaming in the middle of the night clenching my chest. All I could remember were a pair of green eyes looking at me from the depths of the darkness. I buried myself into Jasper's chest as I calmed down again. At least it wasn't the one where I was being laughed at which was an improvement. I think. Jasper didn't say a word, we laid there just holding each other until the sun came up bring with it more questions and even more confusion.
