Chapter 26

Dorothea is the only sibling who holds the power of being Esme and Carlisle's genuine child, because of how dear she was to Carlisle and that she would help around the hospital, it was easier to claim that she is his daughter. The locals would find the girl always closer to the parent than the rest of the children were anyway.

"She got her red hair from her late great grandfather, they say. She's probably the only Cullen you can get close to, but like every other family member she too is taken."

And as a cue, Jasper had come close to Dorothea with his arm over her shoulder and the other hand gripping her chin so that he could kiss her lips. "Jasper Hale, he looks like he is in constant pain but around Dorothea he changes into a monster that won't hesitate to hurt you, if you get too close to her. They literally can't get their hands off each other"

"My monster." Jasper first winched at being called a monster but when Dorothea said that he was hers that feeling went away and the thought of being a monster didn't appear weird to him.

They both sat down with the rest, Jasper letting Dorothea sit first before himself. Placing a grip on her thigh as she leans close to his chest, participating smoothly in the conversation happening between their sibling before Edward entered.

"Who's he?" / "That's Edward Cullen. He's gorgeous, obviously. But apparently, no one here is good enough for him. Like I care. Anyway, don't waste your time."

"I wasn't planning on it." Dorothea took notice of how Edward and Bella had their eyes on each other, even when he had sat with everyone, earning her to lean onto Jasper saying, "For someone who despised going to school because of her. You sure don't act like it, Eddy."

Edward broke eye contact to focus on Dorothea while the others tease him except for Rosalie and Jasper. "I just can't read her mind. It's confusing."

Dorothea and Jasper already knew the reason for that but both kept quiet knowing it could affect the boy's future. Noticing how motionless Jasper and Rosalie were, Dorothea had to change the topic to about anything but the mortal.

With her hand on Jasper's lap while her eyes roam around the food on the table, searching for anything that rose her curiosity. "Thea, me, and Rose are going shopping after school. You coming?"

"May I?" It has become a habit for Dorothea to ask permission to go anywhere without Jasper because trouble always happens when they are separated. "Just be back before 10. I want my time with you too," Dorothea just gave Jasper a peck before answering back to Alice's earlier question.

Throughout the whole lunch, Dorothea wasn't oblivious to seeing Edward giving multiple secret glances at Bella while the others did the same too. Sometimes Jasper would glare at the man to stop but Edward was unfazed by it, making Dorothea calm her man down.

Having a make-out session in the middle of an empty hallway in school is one of Dorothea's favorite things to do. Being forced onto the locker harshly with a growling Jasper in front of her is the best view also.

That is currently happening right at the moment, they had decided to skip their last class to do so. "Stop teasing me, darling. You're going to regret it later on." Dorothea just giggles between their kisses. When two familiar scents caught her nose, she had to push Jasper lightly to be able to turn her head to the side, while Jasper devoured her neck instead, unfazed.

"No, every class is full. I'm afraid you'll have to stay in biology. I'm so sorry." Edward was sweet-talking his way to get what he wants but that wasn't working. Edward had made brief eye contact with his sister before finally recognizing Bella not far.

The mortal's scent made Jasper bite Dorothea severely earning a soft moan so that he could just focus on her scent instead of the mortal, his grip harsh around her hip, feeling his eyes turning color but being in Dorothea's hold was able to maintain it.

"I'll just... Endure it." Edward strides nearer to the couple completely ignoring his singer, Jasper had stopped his action when he hears Edward's footsteps getting closer, licking the mark he left from his bite.

Meanwhile, Dorothea had her hand crossed, enraged at her brother. "That was rude, young man." Jasper didn't say anything, despite being occupied before, he understood what Edward did that caused Dorothea mad emotions, but unlike Dorothea, Jasper supported what Edward did and saw it was right. But for now, he will keep quiet.

"I couldn't stand it. Let's just get home please." Hearing Edward's pleading and desperate voice broke Dorothea a little, nodded her head before clinging her arm with the 2 men to Dean's shiny new silver Volvo.

Edward immediately jumps into the car with Alice and Dean while Dorothea and Jasper rode with Emmet and Rose. They all had their eyes on Bella, but Dorothea instead gave the girl an apologetic smile as Emmet drove off the school's parking.

"That should prevent her from coming anywhere near us." Rose had spit out but Emmet was more amused with Bella as he replies, "Oh come on babe. Don't be so salty." Jasper and Dorothea had shared eye contact knowing what Rose said won't occur instead Edward's action made Bella more involved with them if possible.
