Beautiful Tyrant

A/N:

In this story the character names belong to Stephenie Meyer but the inspiration and chapter titles come from William Shakespeare's epic tale, Romeo & Juliet.

"Alice is not a slut, you bastard," Edward hissed and unconsciously took a step forward; James swung the gun away from Jasper and waved it instead in front of Edward's face.

Jasper sized up the changed situation; James's mental capacity was fast deteriorating, he couldn't wait any longer to disable him.
