She looked around her; it seemed that her very move will be watched by these simpletons. She did not understand why or how the Cullens dealt with this. She would have rather drained them all dry and continue on with her limitless life, but she was falling in love with Jasper.

She grumbled to herself as she marched through the hall way, her previous class had only her in it with none of her new family to accompany her. It had seemed that even the teacher was transfixed by her looks and enchanting manner and behavior, as he could not finish his lesson for the day much less a sentence before he stared at her once more.

It had been two months since she had joined the Cullens' coven, and slowly but surely she had been falling in love with her mate, Jasper Whitlock. He was silent and left everyone else to be rambunctious and boisterous while he would rather read his history books. Vulpina wouldn't have it any other way. She had tried the animal blood with them but it didn't seem to work for her she preferred the blood-replenishing potion that she used to feed. But it didn't stop her from going on their hunts, she would take her flute and play melody after melody as they hunted but she mainly played for Jasper who was still having a rough time with the animal blood.

She made a left turn to head towards Calculus, which was her last class before lunch, thank Biera that Isabella Swan was not in this class. Ellie couldn't stop the sigh from leaving her cold dead lips; she knew that no one understood it. Even Jasper had not even the slightest inclination as to why she hated the human girl.

They seemed to believe that Ellie would behave like her new sister, Rosalie, about humans, but it wasn't humans that upset her. It was this one particular human that set her on edge and wanting to snap her neck. Of course she couldn't explain to them why, they would never believe her no matter if it was the truth or not. If the vegetarian vampires wanted the Volturi to march on Forks and demolish and dismember them before lighting the pieces of their body on fire for one measly human girl that was not who they thought she was than Radella would make sure that she and Jasper were no longer with the group when it happened.

When she had noticed that the little brat of a human was in the first half of her classes she wanted to rip her limbs of and set herself on fire. She didn't need to hear all of the shit she had going through her head. That was what made her hate in the first place. If she to tell her new family that she would then have to explain the rather complex side to her gift, but no now she was hearing the awestruck voices of these dunces. Sometimes she truly wished she wasn't an enchantress, it caused more problems than it was worth.

During Calculus, She let her thoughts wonder back to the last two months, where she spent her time integrating into the Cullens' lifestyles, getting to know Jasper as himself and not just her mate, not to mention annoying the ever-loving crap out of Isabella Swan when she came over to harass them. Ellie barely looked down at the problem filled paper as her hand flew across it writing answer after answer and probably annoying the teacher as she refused to work out the problem like he had asked them to do but seriously if she knew it in her head and knew she was right why was she going to waste time by writing it all out.

Time seemed to slow slightly as she placed the pencil down at a human pace so not to cause any suspicion for them all. She didn't have to work as hard as the others to remember the human movements as she was older and spent the majority of her time with humans, so to remember to move her head from side to side as if getting rid of a crick in her neck was natural to her as well as "stretching" her legs before getting up slowly to hand the worksheet over to the teacher. She arched an eyebrow as he looked at her as if he was an imbecile and had never seen her before. She just sighed and laid the paper on his desk before turning around to walk back to her desk.

Feeling eyes burning into her skirt covered behind made her snarl like a devil but she thought of Jasper and calmed her raging emotions. If she went to meet him at lunch like this it would set him on edge and that wasn't good. But the calming process only held her back a bit not enough to stop her thoughts from causing the teacher great pain. The man was younger than her by many centuries and even if she was human she would have been his student not something that she was interested in. Those plain eyes tracking her every move and hip sway would have made her vomit if she was human but she could only have the feeling of wanting to vomit not being able to actually regurgitate her previous meals and consumptions.

The revulsion left Ellie coveting the feel of Jasper's embrace. The sense of safety that came with being with her mate helped her restrain herself from draining these revolting humans empty of their "precious" blood. She watched the clock, waiting for the bell to ring telling her that she could head to the lunch room and cuddle with Jasper. And hopefully Isabella wouldn't sit with them but that was probably an impractical wish. She reacted very humanly to the boredom she was supposed to be feeling and pulled a book out of the satchel bag that she used to carry her school books.

The book was one that she had re-read many times throughout her long life. And she simply thought of other human reactions that would not be obvious, and began drumming her fingers impulsively and rapidly on the cover of the book. She lost herself in her own mind thinking of different music sheets that she had memorized even before she was a vampire.

She was up at out the door seconds before the bell even rang. And even still Jasper was leaning against the wall across from the classroom's door. Ellie grinned and smiled when he grinned back. She sighed happily when the weight of Jasper's arm around her waist registered in her mind. She leaned into that grip, how she hated these puny humans, hated how they invaded her personal space. She was unused to this, she would interact with them for brief moments and not this continuous meetings and it was wearing on her mind which was already instable from her gift.

She could feel the nervous and concern gaze from her mate, but she only smiled up at him gently and continued to walk towards the cafeteria.

"What's wrong, darlin'?" Jasper's southern accent was barely there unnoticeable by humans.

Looking around at the gather mortals that held no value to their own lives and understand what little time they truly had. "Later love."

Their eyes locked and held each other's gaze coming to an understanding and continued on their walk over to the Cullen lunch table. Jasper could feel the deep seeded loathing that his mate hid from the others when she saw Isabella trying to get Edward's attention. He rubbed soothing circles to calm her, it worked as he felt her emotions calm down a little more.

"Yo, Jasper, Ellie," Emmett raised his hand in greeting. Rosalie smiled gently towards them before returning to her previous ice cold mask. Alice sent them a weary smile that lacked its usual eccentric happiness. Edward looked stuck between distress at the human girl clinging to him for attention and glee at seeing the last two of his siblings.

The nodded they heads in greeting and Radella sat down next to Alice as Jasper went off to get him a tray to fool these silly beings that would probably never have noticed if they were eating anyway or not. As her mate's calming presence slowly retreated, her ire and rage returned. It was just impossible for her too be nice to her and it was pressing on her control to not attack her. Not after what she had learned not after what she knew Isabella wanted to do to her new family. And that was something she would not allow to happen no matter at what cost.

It seemed that Alice was aware of her slipping control as she slid into the seat on her left that had been open and waiting for jasper to come back. Alice offered her a comforting smile and pet her hand hoping that it would help her. Ellie smiled tiredly, she could never have said that Alice didn't know what she was doing. Because it seemed that even though Alice had no clue as to why Ellie couldn't stand Isabella, she was always there for her. Ellie breathed deeply letting all the sweet aromas around her to sooth her raging best and thinking about something else, like the hunt that her and jasper were going on that evening as a celebrator event of them completing the first quarter of a bonding.

Of course each time that spent working on their bond, it had been time that they snuck away to get to be together. It helped that they were comfortable with each other to talk about things that would otherwise be hard to talk about. They discussed their pasts, the problems that they had to deal with as a human…well the ones that were remember able for them. Jasper told her of the fuzzy details like a woman that looked to have a pair of high cheek bones and his honey blonde hair. While a man stood on her right, at least a head taller whose hair was shaggy and all over the place. It seemed apparent to the both of them that it was in all likely-hood his parents before it ran off to join the war.

And she spoke to him of her lonely childhood, being kept indoors and her escape into the books surrounding her, her entire life. She spoke of how her adopted father seemed to distances himself from time to time and left her care to the house elves, of which she explained to him. She talked on how she dreamt about the night her parents were killed and the faintest of red that she saw which she believed to have been her mother's hair as she was struck down.

Ellie smiled softly to herself; yes the second quarter of their bonding was surely done with their dead heart-to-hearts. Communication was an important key aspect in a relationship just as was a physical attraction which had never been a problem for them. They probably would have thought each other was the most perfect and beautiful person in the world even if they weren't vampires. And if the was going to be as long as theirs was going to be they needed to have an understanding of how to talk to one another about their problems and whatever was one their mind. The light thump that the paper tray made as it hit the table jostled her from her thoughts of their future hunt.

Jasper seemed to be analyzing everything about her when she met his eyes. The concern was as clear as day in his warm amber eyes, she swore that her cheeks would have been a nice cherry red if she was still able to blush. But all she did was let her emotions, no matter how much turmoil they may be in, fill her eyes and let them talk for her. Of course all that trouble just got her a deep frown and a tugging to lean into his solid frame in hopes of shielding her from whatever was causing her pain.

She wanted to growl when she heard Bella pretend to gag quietly at their display.

"I apologize. Was there something that you needed," Ellie sneered in perfected comparison to her old potions tutor of course he was dead now as well as all the others from her original time.

'Wow thinking that would make one think that I had traveled back in time or something.' She thought to herself and it seemed that it filtered through to Edward whose brow puckered in confusion on hearing it.

Isabella only shook her head, "no I had nothing to say. I just was wondering… if it was appropriate for such behavior."

Ellie froze in ice cold rage, "and just what," she snarled nearly feral, "behavior is that?"

"Well clinging on to Jasper of course. Anyone could tell that you clearly don't know him that well if you don't even know that he is extremely uncomfortable with any type of touching." She had a sickly sweet smile on her face.

Radella's green eyes bleed red in response to her fury, "listen hear little girl. My mate will do as he pleases just as I will with my mate. If we choice to have a physical contact that is not yours or anyone else's business. If you presume to speak to me as if I was a wayward child then I will be glad to ensure that you remember the fact that I am far older than anyone at this table."

The pure terror that flashed in her eyes let all those at the table know just how scared Bella was with Ellie near her. Rosalie barely stopped the scoff that was stuck in her throat at the fact that Bella turned away and went back to flirting with Edward despite his dispassionate and rejecting looks towards the girl.

Ellie looked on in disdain just waiting for the bell to ring so that she may be able to head off towards history with Jasper. She thought back to one of the earlier days in the summer when they explained to them about how Isabella swan had come into the fold and they had been unable to get rid of her.

Rosalie had been the one to tell her as Jasper was still trying to control some of the more basic emotions that came with discovering one's mate and the other had been unavailable to tell her.

She spoke of how Swan had ended up being Edward's singer and that they had been debating on if they should move or risk it and continue to live there. It seemed that they were willing to risk it as long as they were super careful with and cautious of everything and everyone. They stuck to their ways and only spoke to each other never anyone outside of the family. Edward learned to ignore the call of Bella's blood and was able to continue his business as normal only needing to go a few extra hunts by nothing to big or even suspicion.

Then late November early December came and Tyler Crowley almost ran Isabella over with his van. Knowing that the blood would put them at an even great risk than saving her, Edward, being the fastest, saves her from being hit and this seemingly impossible rescue led Isabella down the path to discovering all those little things that went bump in the night.

It went even further when she had invited herself to everything with the Cullens. As that had led to last year's biggest issue with James the nomad vampire, who was killed to save the human which in turn was a catalyst for Victoria.

Ellie had snorted very humanly at that, one little bug had started a battle between a nomad group and the Olympia Coven.

She mentally sighed at the fact that because Isabella had figured it all out with the help of her shifter friend, Jacob Black, she held the proverbial gun in this game of Russian roulette. One word out of her mouth no matter if the humans think she's crazy the Volturi would never let that sort of risk live and then when it got back that she was connected to the Cullens they would in turn be killed.

All that added up to the fact that know Isabella Swan was either to be turned into a vampire or killed to keep their secret safe from the fearful world of humans.

Jasper placed his lips to her ear and whisper soothingly to her calming her chaotic thoughts and spiraling emotions. It had to be something with being mates as never once had the feelings of a waterfall rushed over her like it usually would if Jasper was using his gift on someone. He calmed her with his very presence and sense of safety that was offered from him being her mate.

"I really can't stand her." Ellie made sure that her voice was low enough that the damned human at their table wouldn't be able to hear her but the others understood her just fine.

Jasper only nodded his head in agreement; he was probably the only one of the Cullens that never pressed her to explain why she didn't like Bella never having met her before that day in the field. He was falling in love with her. He recalled their conversation about their bonding.

It was a little bit differently compared to the other vampires with their gifts. While the others mated and bonded before learning about each other, his mate was born in a different time with different powers despite her magic having burnt out with her humanity.

It became apparent that they had a different sort of relationship when he felt some ancient magic washing over him one night, when he had asked her about it, it had gotten them into a deep conversation about their mating while all of their other talks about been to learn about each other and not actually focus on their mateship.

She explained that half of their bonding was completed and approved by Lady Magic, the four key points that seemed to play a large role in a good relationship. He had learned was what they were going through as some sort of steps before the magics blessed them and they mated. A physical attraction was a given from the beginning, Jasper was appalled and deeply confused as to how anyone could have been able to considered his mate to be ugly and unattractive. And then communication. That had been all that they did at night, Jasper was a little confused as to what the last half of their bonding was but he supposed that when they were given the lady magic's blessing he would be able to feel it.

As he thoughts began to wander off in perplexed thought as to what the last two might be he felt his mate start to drag him off, finally acknowledging the shrill and high pitched ringing that was the bell telling them to get to class. At least he had his mate in this one.

Jasper sighed in relief once they got home. Especially since Swan wasn't coming with them. He didn't have the slightest clue why his mate didn't like her and he wasn't going to torture his mate by keeping Isabella around them. Although he would need to find out why Ellie had such a hard time around her. It wasn't even that Ellie wanted Bella's blood; he never got the hunger feeling from his mate when she was around it was just a severe irritation that had Ellie wanting to break that human's scrawny neck

Of course Ellie didn't but still Jasper could honestly say that he wouldn't love for that to happen. Jasper bit back a sigh of aggravation which was so HUMAN, but he resolved to ask her about why when they went out the night. They needed trust in the relationship if they were going to make this work. And he was an undead who was dead set on making it work. He felt a twitch of amusement as Edward and Ellie played a piece that flowed like water together. Everyone around them couldn't help but love the music. It felt to Jasper as if she was playing for his soul because it was like a soothing balm to heal all the wrongs that he had committed to the world in his time as a vampire. It was almost as magnificent as when Ellie laughed. That tinkering bell sound that would ring throughout the house, yes, Jasper could honestly say that he was falling in love with her. She breathed life into an old routine; they had all done this for so long it became stifling and boring. But vampires were always repeating, they had eternity and they were only so many things they could accomplish and do before it became redundant and the movements become full of lack-luster.

Ellie leaned over Jasper's shoulders, one arm curled around his collar bone to rest on the opposite should and the other was dangling, while her head was tilted before leaning in close.

"Try the bishop at d5." Her voice was barely there even for him as if it was a passing thought that he could not quite grasp and so he knew that Rosalie couldn't hear her if he could barely hear her.

Re looking at the board, Jasper went with his mate and entrapped one of Rosalie's Knights. A quick kiss to his check and Ellie was off somewhere else. Jasper grinned openly, his love was probably in her fox form basking in the rare sunlight even if it was almost dawn no that the day had passed by them.

Rosalie smiled gently at him while pondering her next move, "you truly do love her, don't you?"

"I don't think there was ever a question about that," Jasper's voice had no emotion in it. It seemed to the rest of the family that only Ellie could break his aloof and cold mask to show the young brilliant strategic minded man underneath his military past.

"I was stating a fact and it is pleasant to see you smile again." Rosalie always had a soft spot for her "twin", they had always seen eye to eye on almost everything. She ached when she saw the longing looks in his eyes as he looked around at the couples in their family but now. Now he had his mate and was just as happy as all the others in his family. The only problem that he had was the fact that they had not completed the bond. Like seriously, what were the four key points to a relationship, he wondered who he could ask since it seemed that his mate wouldn't help him in this. So who to ask?

"Jasper dear, where is Ellie?" Esme's gentle voice broke through his concentration.

If he had been human, he would have said that he had heard a ding! In his mind as if he had had a "lightbulb moment". Esme would surely know what the four points were so that way he could focus on them and then bond with his mate.

Quickly capturing Rosalie's queen, Jasper stood up and walked into the kitchen where Esme started "dinner" which Ellie and Esme would take to the home-less shelter in Port Angelo's. Of course everyone in the house would be able to hear what they would be talking about but he didn't care all that much. They had all said that he was emotional stunted before which Emmett had always found amusing with him being the empath of the family. He took an unneeded breath—they had been surrounded by humans for too long—and tried to get Esme's attention would wasn't that hard to do.

"What's the matter, Jasper?" Her voice was full of curiosity and wonder on what her "youngest son" needed.

Jasper didn't speak for a second, gathering his thoughts, "What would you say to be the most important things about a relationship. Just the top four…"

Esme understood immediately. The bond between the little vixen and the veteran, wasn't complete and he was apparently wondering what he was missing.

"Well, I personally believe that the top four aspects of a good healthy relationship would probably be…trust, enjoying each other's company— you know like just being able to sit there and not feel the need to fill the silence with some nonsensical chattering—communication and finally a physical attraction for one another."

Jasper "mm" and then thought back to all the interactions that him and Ellie had. They spoke and communicated with each other knowing that they needed to talk to understand. There was no doubt that he was physically attracted to his mate. So that left trust and enjoyable company. They hadn't had the chance to be all with silence to know if either one of them would be uncomfortable with it. But knowing his mate, she would probably just change into her fox and curl into his lap wanting to be pet and cuddled as he read a book which was perfectly okay for him.

He did wonder if they spoke of why Ellie was annoyed with Isabella would help with the trust that they needed to build and he would give her the same trust by speaking of more, unpleasant things that he had been keeping from her thinking that she would run away if she knew. But he had to trust her, had to trust in the growing love for each other that she would listen and not judge just as he would do for her.

Jasper walked out of the kitchen into before turning around to let his family know that he was going hunting with Ellie. With barely a foot into the forest edge, Ellie had her arm slipped into the edge of Jasper's arm. He smiled down at her before leading there run into the forests.

Jasper was listening closely to the humming from Ellie who was following along. The deer fell to the ground dead from where he drained it. Jumping on to the branch his mate sat on, Jasper wrapped an arm around her shoulders prompting her to lean against him.

"You can ask you know?" Her voice was soft and gentle, trying to draw out the question as if it was a wounded and scared animal. Jasper had been thinking about asking, wanting to know how to help her.

"Why do you hate Swan, darlin'?"

Ellie would have sighed if she was human, this was something that she had been expecting one of them to ask her but she didn't know if they would believe her or not. "it isn't that I hate her, love. It has to do with my gift."

Jasper only tightened his hold on her, "what is going on beloved. What does your gift have to do with anything?"

This time, she did sigh. She was getting far to use to the human beings and that was something she wasn't sure she was completely comfortable with. But that wasn't the point at the moment, no it was explaining in full just what her gift did.

"Jasper, you understand how by adding a particular amount of force behind my voice and thoughts I am able to control someone to a certain degree, be it completely or just slight suggestions. But that is not everything. One cannot just tell someone to do something else without using a means of their personality to compel them to accomplish the task set for them."

"What would that have with why you dislike Isabella so much?"

"Jasper, if I was harmed and Carlisle told you that it was for the best that you left to find the means to heal me but you did not wish to leave, how would Carlisle press his wish for you to go?"

Jasper had a contemplative look in his eyes, "he would more than likely play to my emotions involving you. Going on how if I didn't do as he said, I could lose you or this is the best I could do for you all ending with me not being there as the best for you."

"Yes, he would. He would use a personality trait of yours to manipulate you into doing as you wanted. My gift…allows me to gleam information from a person so I know how to manipulate them."

"And how exactly does it do that?"

"My gift allows me to see a person's soul. Their thoughts, their actions, their intentions, their past, all that they hold dear, I see it with a measly minute of eye contact. "

Jasper felt dread creep its way into his undead soul, "and you saw Isabella's soul?"

She nodded in response, "and just what did you see?"

Her head lowered slightly, "Jazz, she wants to be a vampire. She could care less about the family; she just wants to be eternally beautiful."

The dread punched him in the gut, whatever he had expected for her to tell him when she started to elaborate on her gift it wasn't that. This wasn't good. He had felt her emotions and jealousy was an always major emotion that she was filled with, not to mention angry. What his mate just told him meant only one thing; Isabella Swan was one dangerous human to him and his family. And she needed to be dealt with.

•§•

A family meeting had been called almost immediately after they got back from the hunt. A plan of action had been decided upon. And now they were only wondering on why it has taken almost three months for Ellie to tell them.

"Not many people would be comfortable with the fact that the newest member could read your entire life history only to control them." Ellie humanly shrugged. It had been why she hadn't said anything earlier; she didn't feel like going through anymore disbelief and mistrust like all the years before. It had been a long life, and it had been a painful life at least emotionally.

They all nodded their heads in agreement with that. Even they probably would have had a hard time believing her.

"I knew we should have just killed her when she first figured out what we were." Rosalie sneered. She had always thought that they should have let James have his way with the human girl. She had been excited when she figured out that Ellie hated her just as much as she did.

"Let's not forget the Volturi want us to either kill her or turn her." Alice murmured. She usually wouldn't have said anything, but this human had been hanging off of her mate and trying to get his attention despite knowing that he was taken just to be freakin' turned into vampire who could hurt them all. Or force them to move out of Forks.

"I could always force her to forget everything and we all just go about our immortal lives with these people thinking you all just had a falling out," Ellie suggested, the only reason she hadn't done it before was the fact that she didn't was the fact that she didn't want her new family to ask to many questions.

Jasper could feel contentment and calmness coming from his mate; this was just what they needed. He could feel their bond forming and almost complete. If only he could shove everybody out of the house so that they could see if they would still be able to function with only the two of them for the final bond. That was what he wanted most. He wanted the bond to be complete and finished.

Carlisle seemed to be contemplative about the option that Ellie gave them, "would it hurt her? Or anything like that."

Ellie shook her head in a negative, "no I could do it relatively quickly and it would be extremely easy."

Carlisle nodded his head, yes it would be the best option for them to have her forget everything about them, "what about the blank space from forgetting all she knew?"

"I'll implant fake memories. Her going after Edward, she gets turned down, she gets heartbroken and learns to go with her life like every other human high school girl."

Everyone seemed to be in agreement about the plan and Jasper only wanted everyone to go away so he could finally complete the bond with his mate. It seemed that he was in luck though as Alice and Edward dragged everyone out while Ellie spoke up and said that she would rather stay inside and relax before having to deal with a bunch of humans tomorrow at school. Seeing his opportunity, Jasper agreed to stay with her, but then again from the knowing looks that were being thrown his way, everyone in the family knew what he was thinking. Making their way up to their room, Jasper stretched out along his couch with one of his history novels that he was starting to enjoy despite finishing it rather quickly. Ellie seemed to be thinking about what she wanted to do, before crawling into Jasper's lap and curled up resting her head on his solid chest. He ran his unoccupied hand through her curls and began to hum an old tune that he barely remembered his mother signing to him as a human child.

"Love you," her voice broke through the peaceful atmosphere as though it was a feather on the wind.

Jasper bent down and kissed the top of her head, "and I you."

Jasper was sure that if she had been human, his beautiful little mate would have fallen asleep by now but all that she did was purr at his petting and snuggled into his hard chest.

The continued on with small remarks here and there but more often than not the two of them enjoyed a relatively peaceful quite that they felt no need to break. All they needed was the knowledge that if either of them wanted to talk then the other was open to listen. It seemed that as he got closer to the end of his novel, Jasper could feel the cold press of his heart begin to warm up again. It felt just like the others when they mated. It left him perplexed for a minute or two trying to regain his bearings, did this mean that they had completely the bond? But then…what happens now? Does he mate her now or later, perhaps he should do it later after the Swan issue is over with. Yes, that sounded like a plan to him, he also had to make sure that he got them far enough away from the family because he would not put up with Emmett and his immature comments.

He looked down once more at the calm girl that was laying on him, even with vampires not needing to move, her body was still limp and a serene smile was spread across her face and her eyes were closed.

He briskly nodded his head, he would make her his in every single way after the Bella problem was resolved. He mentally groaned through when she shifted slightly, he only hoped that he could hold onto his promise till the Isabella matter was fixed.

•§•

Apparently Isabella was as great as everyone believed her to be. With a little emphasis behind her command and Bella followed after her like a good with puppy would follow its master. Once they were in the woods not far from the school, Ellie stepped up into Isabella's space, looking her dead in the eyes, she began.

"You are to forget all that deals with the Cullens." Her voice was carried with an eerie grace that demanded to be obeyed, as if she knew best and that who didn't ignore what she said. "You will only remember them as a kind family, whose second eldest son unfortunately was unavailable for you. You went through your heart ache as an angst-y teenager and have moved on with your life. Isabella you do not know anything besides all that you learned from Jessica Stanley, do you understand Isabella Swan?"

She nodded her head, before a glazed over look took over her eyes. Ellie gently took her hand and lead her back towards the school. It seemed that it would take a minute or two with forcing her conscience to lock all her memories away.

"When we get back and you set down with Jessica and your friends and they ask why you are sitting with them, all you need to do is tell them that you finally realized that it was useless. Can you do that for me Bella dear?"

Bella nodded, just as they were coming up to the school, Ellie let go of Bella's hand and walked away quickly leaving Bella standing there to wander into school by herself. Walking quickly to her family, she gave them a quick nod of the head. It had been done; she didn't remember anything about them.

They began to talk quietly to themselves like before and basically began over in the town that they had lived in for almost three years now. Ellie didn't talk much but then again they realized that she never had much to say when they were around the humans. Jasper was much the same standing there and letting his siblings whisper and hiss at each other while he held his mate to his side. This was good for him; he carefully blocked his thoughts from Edward knowing that he would probably blush like a prude despite being mated for around sixty years now. Jasper started planning the retreat for him and Ellie so that he could have his way with her. Well break was coming up, Jasper thought, maybe they would be able to get a couple weeks to themselves. Jasper was mentally exhausted, and he still remembered the chaos that they caused when Ellie arrived with them and now all most six months after that first day of school the chaos had calmed. He wondered if Esme would mind if they used one of her many cabins. He would have to remember to ask her later when they got home.

•§•

(I apologize to all readers, but I am a sixteen year old anti-social child who has no experience what so ever with sexual activity. So…)

It was over. They had completed their bonding and he was able to hold out until Isabella was no longer an issue. Looking around at the cabin that Esme was letting them use, or basically destroy, he noticed that it was quite comfortable and cozy. Jasper looked over at his mate who was heading off to the bedroom, not that they had to sleep and thinking about the week that they had all to themselves, Jasper would make sure to take full advantage of that fact.

Wrapping his arms around her waist, he bent down to nuzzle the junction between her neck and shoulder, a very sensitive place that he realized early on when she first moved in with them. Splaying his hands over her tiny stomach, jasper could just imagine the taunt muscles and the little hitch in her breathing. But she wasn't a human that needed to breathe so the inhaling of oxygen didn't hitch and her stomach was already tight, but as his hands ghosted over her clothed body she did begin to moan in pleasure. A phantom sensation of fire pooling in her belly informed her of the arousal that she felt. Wiggling her hips back into his, she felt jasper's hard erection pressed into the cleft of her back end.

"Come now Darlin'," his voice was a ghost like whisper over her ear, "I think it's time I claimed you as mine."

Ellie smirked as she felt Jasper's hands wander up towards her chest and downwards to the intersection in between her legs. She allowed him to touch her for a minute before breaking away. Making sure to sway her hips, Ellie walked to the en-suite bathroom and smiled to herself when she heard her mate's deep growl. Beginning to strip, she only just got her skirt off before Jasper broke into the bathroom only to stop in his tracks when he got sight of her.

Smiling gently to him, Ellie continued her slow strip in front of him. When she was left in only her bra and underwear she beckoned him to follow her, which he did with a glazed look in his eyes. Unhooking her bra, she let it hand there with a single index finger hooked into the elastic of her panties.

"I thought you were going to claim me," her voice was full of suggestion. Jasper thought that he had never ripped his clothes off faster than in that moment.

Ellie was pleased to see that his erect member was leaking pre-cum just like her folds were soaked with her essence. She let him slip her bra off only to be flung somewhere into the room leaving her in her wet panties. She shivered slightly when he scraped a blunt finger nail over her nipple. She lightly ran her hand down his chest feeling the muscles that rippled there. They wanted this to be magnificent and wonderful and they knew that with each other it would be.

[insert actual lemon here]

They had climaxed together; the heat of his release warmed her insides and left her feeling euphoria for even longer. She had waited centuries for her mate and now she had him. Snuggling into his hold, he kissed the top of her head. They both knew that their first time would not be their last, they had two weeks and neither of them needed to sleep. But they would really need to feed at some point before they went back. But for the moment they were just happy to lay in each other's hold.

Epilogue

Kalispell, Montana

They stepped out of the car, it was that time again. Everyone around them all stopped to gap at them and stare. Three beautiful women and three gorgeous men, Rosalie and Jasper Hale, the two blondes, Emmett, Edward and Alice Cullen, and then Zanna Whitlock; all adopted, all gorgeous and all antisocial with everyone else.

Zanna had changed her name once more after they had left Vermont five years ago. It seemed that Carlisle would be having them stay here for a couple years and then they would be off to Denali, Alaska to visit their sister coven. Of course it would be the first time that the Denali coven would meet Zanna after living with them for close to twenty years now.

Jasper wrapped an arm around his wife, she had done what she said she would and took on his human name when they had been married eighteen years ago after graduating once again. All the men were staring at her again, just like they always did. It seemed that being the only one without a "sibling" all these puny humans believed that they had a chance with her.

Zanna simply laughed, it had been the same for years now. But that was what she had needed it seemed. A routine, something that was stable and not having to depend entirely on herself, Jasper offered that stability and love for her. And even if she gets restless sometimes and they needed to go on a "vacation" to let her get rid of that excess energy every once in a while, but they always told their family when they would be leaving and around what time they should be back. Zanna never wanted them to worry about them.

"Jasper," Zanna waited a couple of seconds pretending to get his attention even though it never left her.

"Can we go to south America next?" It was always like this, she would ask a question about the next place they could visit and Jasper would know that she was starting to get restless once more. His darling was a mix of nomad and Cullen. Someone who wanted to roam and explore but always someone that wanted a permanent home to come back to, that was what she was.

Jasper squeezed her shoulder, "of course, love. We'll see about how quickly we can go travelling."

"Not too soon, I would like to see the year out before leaving."

Jasper kissed her temple, "I'm more than sure that is doable. Now come on the bell is about to ring."

And the routine was repeated, just like before.
