Chapter Nine

What the hell was Jasper Hale doing in Port Angeles? Dear spirits, please don't let the other Cullen's be here.

"Hey Bella." He smiled at me.

"Please tell me they're not with you." I blurted out before I could even think.

"No. I'm not with the family anymore, Alice and I are divorced. I'm just in the area."

I breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh okay well it was nice to see you."

I turned around to walk away but he grabbed my arm, "Wait how about a dance?"

"No, I'm okay. I have to get back to my friends." I politely declined.

"Please Bella? I'd love to catch up." He pleaded.

"Get your cold dead hand the fuck off of her unless you want it ripped off." Paul growled. Jasper's grip loosened momentarily and I ran to Paul. He pulled me behind me and I was immediately in Embry's arms. I didn't realize I was shaking until now.

I peeked around Paul and Jasper was being flanked by two blonde vampires. One was a male and one was female. I remember Edward telling me about two human feeding vampires that Jasper considered family.

"I mean Bella no harm. I just wanted to catch up with an old friend." Jasper stated holding his hands up smiling at me.

"She's not your friend and she doesn't want to catch up, leech."

"I think Bella can speak for herself. She's a grown woman." Jasper challenged.

"Yeah she can but I'm her mate and I say she doesn't want to catch up with you. Now leave." Paul stepped into his face. Jasper was a couple inches shorter than him but he didn't back down.

"Major, we're attracting attention." One of the blondes stated. People were starting to stare and I could see security looking at us debating on whether or not to intervene. Jasper looked over Paul's shoulder and smiled at me.

"I'll be seeing you Bella." He winked and turned to walk out with the other two vampires following him.

"Fat fucking chance that's gonna happen bloodsucker." Paul called after them knowing he could hear him. He turned around and placed his hand on my cheek, "You okay baby?"

"I'm good now. Just a little shocked and shaken up. Nothing I can't handle."

"Do you want to go home? I know that was a lot."

"No, I wanna stay and hang out with our friends."

"Come on, let's go enjoy the rest of our night." Paul dragged me to the dance floor. For some reason I couldn't shake the feeling that wasn't the last we were going to see of Jasper.

Jasper POV

We ran through the woods at vampire speed until we came to a clearing. I turned around and punched Peter in the jaw, "I thought you said my true mate would be there tonight."

"She was." Peter responded, smirking. Smug fucker.

"Really? The only fucking female I spoke to was Bella Swan.."

"Major, that was your true mate."

"That's impossible. I was around her for two years. There's no way unless-" the words died on my tongue as I came to a realization, "That little psychotic pixie fucking bitch."

Alice and Edward were very reluctant to let Bella near me. Always using the excuse that my bloodlust wasn't under control which was far from the truth. I had more control than Carlisle and they knew that. Those motherfuckers knew Bella was mine and kept her from me.

"Alice, I know you can see this. Wherever you are I will find you. There's nowhere you can hide that I won't be able to find you and when I do I'm going to rip you apart." I spoke to her knowing she was having a vision because of my decision.

"So, when are we going to get your mate?" Peter asked.

"I can't just go get her. She's mated to a wolf."

"And? We can take them."

"It's not just the four we seen tonight, there's a whole pack of them. Her mate is the most violent of them all. I trained him for the newborn war and he was natural. He could hold his own with all of us easily. It would be stupid for you to assume he's not a deadly opponent. He reminds me a lot of someone."

"Who?" Charlotte questioned.

"Myself."

It's true. The first time I ever felt his emotions was jarring and damn near put me on my knees. He was calm on the outside but his emotions were a tornado full of rage. I couldn't even put into words how he felt. He channeled all of that energy when he was fighting. He was also damn good at combat and strategy. Deadly and dangerous. Just like me.

"Maybe you should tell her? She at least deserves to know she has another option." Charlotte suggested.

I pondered what she said for a minute. I doubt the mutt would let her out of his sight. I damn sure wouldn't after the shit I pulled at that bar but knowing Bella she'll put her foot down. One thing I liked about the girl was that she's as stubborn as a mule.

"I'll go by her house in a few days. If she's back in the area I'm sure she still lives in Forks with her father."

"What about fuckward and pixie slut?" Pete raised an eyebrow as he asked the question.

"Trust me they'll get what's coming to them in due time." And they would. Alice and Edward might as well start counting their days.

3rd Person POV

Alice fell to her knees as she came out of her vision. She was distraught. The look on his face told her he meant everything he said. He was going to end her and she deserved it. Not only did she let Edward manipulate and abuse his mate, she kept him away from her and now she was betrothed to Jacob Black.

How the hell did Jasper find out? He was never supposed to know! She knew she couldn't hide. It didn't matter how much time passed. Jasper would find her and kill her. What she did was illegal in the vampire world so going to the Volturi was out of the question. She had no choice but to try to stay ahead of him with her visions even though she knew it was pointless.

She walked into the living room where Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, and Emmett were, "We have a problem."

That night Alice confessed everything. Her knowledge of what Edward was doing, her knowledge of Jasper being Bella's mate, and every awful secret she kept regarding the situation. All she could do was hope her family would forgive her and offer their help.

A/N: So did you guys expect that? Alice still thinks Bella is marrying Jacob. Leave me some feedback. Things are about to get interesting.
