Chapter 2

Jasper P.O.V

It was later that day that I was able to catch Alex and Alice alone. Away from the house no less.

"I want to know everything about hybrids. What information can you share with me?" I asked them.

Alex tensed under my gaze as I took notice of his scars. "You know of the southern wars but you don't know that some hybrids fought in them too." Alex explained. Then his phone went off with a text. Alex just stared his emotions going everywhere.

I feel The Major rise up in me and using his commanding aura I speak, "Alex?" I bark out. Alex's head snapped up. "Sorry, Jas, but let me ask you something." He said calmly. His emotions are hesitant but calm and comforting.

"Did you ever wonder why it took Peter and Charlotte so long to get back to you?" He asked. My mind went blank for a moment.

The Major P.O.V

My phone is in my hand in an instant. Alice and Alex are being submissive. If it wasn't for the fact that Jay loved these vampires I would snap their necks hiding important information from me. I dial Peter.

"Captain, want ta explain why exactly it took so long for ya ta come back for us?" I asked. Peter took an unnecessary breath.

"Well Major, Char and I were captured along with Alex into the hybrid wars. It was much different than being with Maria. The punishments, the training." Peters voice catches.

"What they almost did to Char and what she saved her from." I could tell my Captain was getting upset.

"It's alright, ya can fill me in later. According to Alice our mate is a hybrid and will be doin school tomorrow. When will you and Char arrive at Fork's?" I asked.

"In 3 hours. Did you say Forks?" Asked Peter in shock.

Jasper P.O.V

"Yes, Forks, Pete." I answered as I came back to the forefront.

"I think that we know who your mate is. I'll tell you more when we get to Forks." Before I could ask more questions he hung up.

'Crafty Bastard.' The Major mumbled in my mind. 'You know ya love 'em to pieces, Major.' I replied. A humph was his reply. "Come on Lex and Jas, let's go back to the house. It's almost midnight!" Alice exclaimed excitedly at the approaching day.

Exactly 3 hours later Peter showed up with Charlotte. Both sporting golden eyes. Shock hits me so strongly that I double over in amusement laughing.

"Hardy har har, Jasper." Peter says in mock anger. His emotions tell me otherwise. His Joy at being with me again and his love for us.

"Brother," I greet, and hug him, ignoring the shock from Esme, Carlisle, Edward, Emmett, and Rosalie.

"Shush, Peter. We won't jeopardize this for them. Especially if it's who we think it is." Char says a fierce protectiveness in her voice.

"Char," I greet, and wrapped my arms carefully around her. Not noticing her slight flinch.

"Come on everyone, let's give them some privacy. Jas, Why don't you take them to your study." Alice suggests.

'Yes our territory. Our coven.' Are's rumbled.

'It's soundproof up there. Safe.' The Major purred in my mind agreeing.

"Alright, Pete, Char, follow me." I tell them. We go to my study, and as soon as the door is closed, The Major pushes me aside.

The Major P.O.V

"Captain, Lieutenant." I greet them. Both their heads are bowed and eyes downcast as I circled them both. I feel their joy at seeing me, and despite all the training I allow myself to bask in it as I stop my circling in front of Peter.

My Peter. I raised his head and motioned Char to do the same, and I can't help it as I embrace him. I allow them and only them to feel my conflicting emotions. Fear, nervousness, excitement, joy, and love. My love for them and my love for my mate that I haven't met yet.

"It's gonna be alright, Major." Peter soothes. I smell his neck breathing in his scent. Heat, Spice, and old parchment. Then I noticed the other marks on him. I hissed and checked him over. Each new scar made my anger higher. Who dares hurt my Peter.

"Come now, Major, let's leave that for another time. Let's talk about your mate." Peter says softly, making me aware of the growls I was growling.

We let go and I looked at Char. I was waiting for that hug she always gave me. The hug whether I liked it or not. She approached me and raised her arms. I didn't know what was happening. I didn't know vampires could shake so badly. Her eyes were glazed over as if stuck in a memory.

"Char," I asked. She didn't answer.

"Charlotte Anne Whitlock" I snarled as her head snapped to mine and her eyes met mine. She just fell into my arms and held me tight. I tightened my hold on her and looked at Peter. My eyes demanded an explanation.

"Let's just say that Char's not been herself for a while. Someone saved her from-" Peter's voice broke before he continued."Something so terrible that she hasn't even told me." He answered my unasked question. I had a suspicion and tightened my hold even further soothing her emotional turmoil.

"I won't let nobody hurtcha Char. Neva again!" I tell her.

"Don't make promises ya can't keep Major." She says letting go. I lift her chin.

"I an't makin a promise, it's a fact. Sides between Peter an I nothin gonna hurt ya again." I replied with a rumble in my chest. I let her go and Peter wrapped an arm around her.

Char relaxed, as her and Peter sat on the small couch in my study.

"Did Alice give you the name of your mate?" Asked Char a few moments later as she rubbed a scar the opposite of her mating mark and sire mark. I make a mental note to ask Peter about that later as I search Jay's memories.

"Alice said that her name was Secelia." I answered as I am hit with joy, recognition, protectiveness and love.

"Damn it, I should've known that shit." Peter mumbles. As slight guilt and sorrow fill the air.

"It's not your fault, Peter, your gift doesn't tell you everything. Do we call her?" Asked Charlotte.

"Ya know her?" I asked in hope. Something quite new.

"Damn straight, we do, my gift says call her we don't want to spook her. That'll be the last thing Jay, Major, or they need." Peter answers as Char pulls out her phone and hands it to Peter who dials the number. I stay quiet and hope to hear my mates voice.

"Yellow," The most beautiful voice I have ever heard answered.

"Blue," Peter says without a second thought. Their is movement as my mate shifts.

"What do ya mean blue, Peter, it's 4:00am." She answered back.

"We come on Lia, you were awake anyway. I am not calling to debate colors anyway but to give you a heads up." Peter explained as my expression must have given away that we didn't want her to know about us. We wanted a genuine reaction from our mate since she would recognize it immediately.

"What type of heads up?" She asked.

"It's a surprise, don't worry it will be the best surprise, and Char and I will see you tomorrow." Peter said hanging up Char's phone and handing it back to her. Charlotte burst out laughing as Peter tried his best to look calm.

"Either Majors gonna kill ya for that or she will." Char said. A true smile makes its way to my face. These two were mine and I could be myself around them. I drop my head and give a few emotional hugs to both as Jay takes the forefront.

A/N: This is the Majors soft side, a side he will show no one but Peter, Char, and his mate.
