A/N: Mature scenes
3rd P.O.V
"You're sure about this, Jay?" Secelia asked softly as she walked with her Jasper towards the Cullen house. Jasper smiled looking at his mate. She wore her signature leather boots, blue jeans, and a black short sleeved shirt. She wasn't as tense as she normally was. Even with her scars on display.
'She looks like a goddess.' He thought admiring her.
"I'm sure about this. It's time they know, but I still can't help but feel nervous." He admitted. He'd only admit being scared to her. Only to her. He grabbed her hand placing it in the crook of his elbow. He was also wearing short sleeves, a black shirt matching hers, and blue jeans. She gave his arm a soft comforting squeeze.
"If the emotions get to much I'll get you out of there." She reassured as they walked to the entrance. Everyone minus Bella who was spending some quality time with Charlie was there. Everyone was already in the living room.
"Secelia, Jasper, Peter and Alice said you had something to share." Carlisle mentioned offhandedly. Jasper and Secelia stood together against the far wall. They stood together, united. Jasper focused on the encouragement coming from his mate, Peter, Charlotte, Alice, and Alice. Closing his eyes he spilled everything. The truth about being the Major, how he had found peace with them, how they were family now, and nothing unless they turned him away would make him leave, because they were Whitlocks now. Jasper's rambling came to a halt as his story came to an end. He closed his eyes gripping his mates arm that he kept wrapped around his.
Surprisingly it's not Emmett, Rosalie, or Carlisle who reacts first, it's Esme, soft, sweet, and kind Esme who has anger whipping around her.
"I want to speak to him!" She demanded making everyone turn to her. Jasper opened his eyes, "What?" He choked out.
"The Major, I want to speak to him." She clarified making Carlisle touch her shoulder. "Es-" Esme cuts him off.
"No! Carlisle! He has lived in our coven for years, years, I think it's atrocious he hasn't had the decency to introduce himself!" Esme exclaimed. She locked eyes with Jasper who was currently shocked. Esme the woman he saw as a mother wanted to meet The Major! The Major! He could feel Peter, Charlotte, Alice, and his matés encouragement. Esme sped in front of him crossing her arms and tapping her foot.
She was changing him! Him! Jasper could feel the Major rise up to the challenge. Before his vision goes black he moves so his mate is between him and Esme. He buries his face into her hair as he feels The Major take over. The Major breathes deeply his mates scent comforting him. He raised his black eyes looking over his mates shoulder at the Carmel haired vampire in front of him. He raised an eyebrow at the lack of fear. His eyes look across the room. He locked eyes with the golden haired doctor who was radiating nervousness and yet there was a sense of trust there. The Major used his gift to sweep the room, and none of these vampires were afraid of him! The women in-front of him seemed to have enough of his gawking as she asked,
"Are you going to introduce yourself or not?" She locked eyes with him. He was quite confused by the warm emotions she was giving off.
"Major Whitlock, Ma'am!" He said moving an arm to tip an imaginary hat. The lady in-front of him narrowed her eyes at the word Ma'am. She looked to him then at his mate.
"Typical southern vampires, Don't call me ma'am!" She exclaimed before promptly turning her back to him and heading towards her mate. The Major was shocked at the fact she turned her back to him. His mates laughter catches his attention. He moved to stand beside her wrapping his arm around her shoulder. It's the blonde doctor who reacted next.
"Welcome to the family, Major." He chuckles.
Family
Family
Family
He didn't deserve any type of family, hell he didn't deserve even a mate, and he didn't- He froze feeling a light smack on his shoulder. His eyes snapped to his mates whose eyes were rapidly darkening showing The General.
"Knock that shit, off, Majah Whitlock, ya don't want to see what Es will do if ya start that shit. Trust me, I know, lil lady took me side, and made sure I knew that my past didn't bother her. " She drawled. The Major grabbed the hand on his shoulder and brought it to his lips kissing the back of it.
Rosalie snorted softly, "You're both disgustingly cute." She commented making The Major growl, because he wasn't fuckin cute! Emmett laughs, "Dude, Jazzman was holding back!" He exclaimed then clarified as The Major let a wave of confusion sweep the room.
"Sparing, you know fighting, wait since Jas is my brother, you are too that's cool!" He exclaimed excitedly.
Alex smirked, "The Major is a great fighter. The only one who could outmatch him would be the General. " He commented nonchalantly. Alice looked at her mate confused, "The General?" She asked making Alex wince.
"There were legends in the hybrid wars, A hybrid called The General. The General fought in the hybrid wars and The southern wars. " Secelia explained.
"You know what would be cool?" Emmett asked and before anyone could ask what he was talking about he continued, "If Gen, was actually The General, because then it would be the Major and the General!" He said excitedly. Suddenly everyone started talking at once. Everyone but The Major who grinned as his mates eyes turned black again. A low whistle cut through the air making everyone freeze.
"An my money was on Rosalie figuring it out," She drawled slowly. The Major let out a dark laugh in her ear. Then before anything else could happen The General's phone rang.
"lo?" She drawled casually, but immediately straightened up as a warning came through on the other end.
"Breaking Daylight, headed your way! I'm a few miles behind. There headed to the Cullen house! ETA two minutes, they're lookin for you!" Garrett's voice cut through the air making the room tense. The General snapped the phone shut just as the door to the Cullen home was torn off its hinges. She sensed it before she heard it.
"No!" She moved quickly shielding The Major as a venom whip snapped through the air. It latches onto her skin. Ignoring the pain and rip it makes she pulled harshly making the hybrid fall to its knees as she twisted her arm wrapping the whip around the males neck. A loud bang sounded somewhere and she immediately felt the pain of a venom bullet lodging itself into the back of her shoulder. She twisted her arm making the male hybrids head snap. Tearing sounds echoed around the room as Peter, Charlotte and Alex take care of the female hybrid that had shot her. They toss the bodies in to the burning fireplace. Now that the fighting had stopped The Major snapped back to reality. Alex was standing protectively over Alice, Carlisle, and Emmett, do the same to their mates. The scent of his mates blood catches his immediate attention as he moves forward.
"Mine!" He snarled darting in-front of her. His instincts were going wild. He needed to look at his mate! He needed to check her injuries. He growled as he stood in front of her. His eyes locked on the whip wrapped around her arm. He doesn't notice as his Captain guides everyone away from the house. The Major scoops her up taking her to his room. He kicked the door closed behind him. He gently lays her on the bed. He swallowed the venom building up in his mouth. He wasn't sure how to remove the whip from her arm.
"Fuck, I forgot how much this hurts." The General's strained voice makes a growl fall from his lips. She sighed as she sat back against the headboard of his bed. The Major watched as his maté slowly unhooked the venom whip that stuck to her skin. Hissing as she finally got it unhooked. The Major took notice of the two parallel lines of dots where spikes covered in venom were lodged in her skin.
"Could've been worse, at least it didn't tare." She mummered softly. "Can you seal it? We could wrap it but it would heal faster- ah!" She gave a little cry of shock as she feels his tongue licking up the blood as he sealed her wound. Rumbles fall from his lips. He pulls back inspecting the seal purring as he sniffs smelling his venom!
"Mmiinnee," He can feel Ares rise up within him. She cupped his cheek and he whimpered as a flash of pain hits him.
"Easy, Majah, I need ya with me a few more minutes. I don't know if ya beast know how ya remove a bullet, Sugah." She drawls making him purr at the nickname that he always called her. Carefully he moves her so her stomach is pressed against the mattress and her head laying on his pillow. With great care he swipes her hair to the side revealing the bullet lodged into her shoulder. She can't help the whimper that escaped her as his fingers brushed over it.
"Sh, Sh, I'll be quick lil one." He cooed, quickly he removed the bullet using his tongue to soothe the wound and seal it. He throws the bullet to the ground. He carefully flipped her back over. The General lets out a sigh of relief as the overwhelming pain faded. The Major lets out a purr. The General closes her eyes as he presses his full weight on top of her. A strangled noise leaves her. Secelia feels herself come back to the front as she lets her hands pull her mate closer. She lets out a high pitched whine tilting her neck. The Major snarled nuzzling his face into her neck. A hand comes up and clutches his hair as she presses him more firmly into her neck.
"We were so scared." She admitted hiding her face in his shoulder. "We were so scared." She repeated. Another strangled sound escaped her.
"We felt it before it happened. Had it caught you instead..." She trailed off letting out a high pitched sob as her voice caught in her throat.
"We could've lost you. Venom whips are just as dangerous to vampires as they are to us. At least it didn't end up around our neck. That hurts like a-" He growled loudly against her skin. She shuddered and then the tears came. "We were just so scared. Our Jasper, our Major, our Ares, we can't lose you, we can't, we can't!" Another sob and then she broke. Broken sobs, whimpers, and tears. She was a broken mess. Why did she always break? Why couldn't she be strong like her mate? Her mate deserved so much better than her.
He deserved someone less broken
Someone less weak
Someone else who could love him the way he deserved.
She didn't know how long she laid there before the sobs broke off into gasping breaths. Her mate held her tightly to him, and he was speaking in her ear.
He was speaking to her.
Despite what she knew was coming, that he had changed his mind, and he didn't want her anymore, she forced herself to listen.
"Sh, I got ya, Darlin ," Oh it was Jasper, The Major must have gotten tired of hearing her breaking.
"Come back to me." He mummered, oh lips brushed her ear. Why wasn't he angry? Wasn't he mad that she was so weak?
"Breathe!" It was an order. Orders were good. She could follow orders. She inhaled sharply, "J-Jasper?" She hadn't meant for her voice to come out as shaky or high as it did but her mate purred softly in her ear.
"There ya are lil one, Good Girl!" Oh, She sucked in another breath and then exhaled. Lips kiss her neck. She holds him closer.
"I gotcha, I'm not letting ya go, darlin," He mummered. She didn't believe him, and apparently he could feel that because he snarled in her ear making her whimper. He clutched her tightly to him leaving no room between them.
"Please don't leave." She whispered apparently it was so soft and he didn't hear it cause he pressed his ear to her lips before demanding her to repeat herself. Secelia closed her eyes, "Don't leave!" She begged. Jasper brought his hand to her chin gripping harshly before kissing her. It started slowly but he built it up. He kissed her so hard that she was sure that her lips were going to bruise. His tongue thrusted into her mouth. It tangled so tightly that she thought that she couldn't tell who's was who's.
Then he rocked forward as he pulled away. He pressed so hard into her that she could feel him through her jeans. He didn't let up. His weight pushed her deep into the mattress and his voice was the darkest she had ever heard it. It was even darker than the Major. His thumb rubs harshly over her swollen bottom lip as he speaks.
"I am not leaving you! You are mine!" He said in her ear. His weight on her didn't let up. If possible he pressed her harder into the mattress. He kissed her neck.
"Mine!" He kissed her cheek, "Mine!" He kissed her close eyes and oh! Oh! His tongue swiped over her eyelids. His lips caressed her eyes. She didn't know why but this felt so intimate. "Mine." Oh! His thumb swiped her bottom lip again before he took her bottom lip and pulled it into his mouth sucking. Pulling away his thumb swiped across it before going into her mouth.
"Mine!" The word was breathed harshly into her ear.
Jasper's voice changed even darker as the Major took control. The Major looked at his mate. She looked so beautiful with his thumb in her mouth he decided.
"What's it gonna take for ya to believe me? Maybe," He drawled out liking the way her hand clutched at his hair. His weight was still pressing her into the mattress as he gave a sharp thrust of his hips before continuing, "Maybe, I'll just lie here, rock into ya and make ya suck my thumb. Like a good girl!" He mummered darkly before removing his thumb from her mouth and thrusting it back in. He kept doing it. Over and over. It was soothing. She didn't know when she had closed her eyes and didn't even know that she was drifting when his wet thumb trailed to the breast that he had fed from. She lets out a cry of shock as it goes over the mark sending pleasure down her spine.
"There ya are, was gettin worried I lost yah, Secelia" Oh! Her breath caught as he practically hissed her name in her ear. His tongue was tracing patterns on her skin and his teeth were nipping at her throat. "Mine!" Oh! Oh! His tongue was tracing out the letters of that word as he spoke. He kept calling her his. Was he still going to keep her? Even after he saw how weak she was? She couldn't stop the whine in her throat. She took a deep breath. There was one way to know for sure.
"Will you prove it?" She asked closing her eyes swallowing harshly. "Say what now?" Jasper asked pulling The Major back because he was sure that he was going to get the wrong idea, because to The Major, She had just challenged him! To the Major she wanted a master bite.
She pulled back removing her hand from his hair and brought his hand to the back of her neck.
"Will you prove it?" She asked again.
Jasper felt his breath catch.
"Darlin, What is it ya askin for?" He asked. Secelia closed her eyes letting The General take control. "We're askin if ya would mark us, a-a." She stuttered before closing her eyes.
"A master bite, okay, Jay, we're askin for a master bite. We need it, okay, we need ya venom to take away, his. Please?" She asked. Jasper was stunned. He was stunned, but he couldn't mark her that way. He couldn't, he wouldn't, no matter how much his instincts demanded him too.
"I can't Darlin, I can't mark ya like that!" He exclaimed in horror and before a second thought of any of the promises he'd made, and any repercussions it might have, he ran.
He ran.
The General stayed there and as soon as the door closed she let a sob catch in her throat and she let out the most horrific sound.
