Fearless (Jasper Whitlock Fanfiction)

Part 2 (Jasper's POV)

I feel my whole world stop as I stare into that wolf's eyes. She is everything I'm going to ever need and want, my whole world will revolve around her. I'm about to jump down to talk to her when she suddenly shakes her head and growls at me. Does she not know I am her mate? I watch as she goes back to her pack and without a second glance, leaves me standing there dumbfounded. 

Turning back to my coven Carlisle says, "I think we've had enough for today let's head back." Carlisle, always being the good coven leader and trying to keep us out of fights with the shifters. 

"I could've totally kicked her ass." A growl tumbles out of my mouth at Emmett's words, no one will be touching my mate. Emmett laughs and walks over to me. "What's wrong bro?"

Rosalie hisses and pulls Emmett back to her side. "You really don't know what happened? Jasper just found his mate in a shifter." 

Emmett lets out a booming laugh. "Wow! That sucks man!" Rosalie smacks him on the back of his head as he continues to laugh at my predicament. 

"Come on guys, let's go home and figure out how we're going to catch Victoria." Carlisle says. 

We run and make it home in less than two minutes, thank god for super speed. Turning on the television, we watch the news to see the lady reporting more disappearances. The disappearances in seattle are becoming bigger, too big to ignore anymore.

"You think it's a newborn army?" I ask making eye contact with Carlisle. There are just too many disappearances for it not to be. Even a serial killer could not take out this many victims this fact. "Victoria has to be behind it." Both Emmett and Carlisle nod.

Emmett smirks. "We get to kill some newborns."

***********************************************************************************************

We are all outside of the house waiting for the wolves to show up. Edward stands slightly off to the side, his arm wrapped around Bella as he watches the woods. I am feeling anxious waiting to see my mate again. Why did she growl at me when we realized what we were to each other? Out of the corner of my eye, I see Edward give me a sideways glance at my thoughts. Oops, I guess no one told him a shifter is my mate. 

The wolves begin to descend out of the woods, Jacob immediately going to stand next to Bella. Edward gives him a low growl but Jacob pays him no mind as Bella runs her hand through his fur. More wolves begin to come out of the woods and I finally see my mate standing next to another grey wolf. Both of them glance at each other and then my mate's eyes finally meet mine but she quickly glances away, ignoring the bond between us. 

"Edward, can you translate?" Carlisle asks, snapping me out of my thoughts. 

"They want to know how newborns differ from us." Edward says, reading Sam Ulley's thoughts. 

"When newborns are made, for the first year they are a lot stronger and faster than a vampire who's been around a lot longer." Carlisle answers and then pauses before speaking again. "It is very hard to kill them but it can be done."

"They're going to stay in wolf form this time and watch us as we train," Edward says and nods at the wolves, "except for her, she wants to practice fighting us." He points at my mate. "She says her name is Laila." He then glances at me before walking away from the wolves. 

Laila. Her name bounces through my head like a ping pong ball and I can't keep my eyes off of her as she walks over to where Bella stands next to Jacob. I'm not sure how I feel about the possibility of her fighting with us. I don't want my mate to get hurt. 

One by one, each person gets to fight someone else with no one else bothering them. I give comments throughout, making sure everybody knows what they're doing wrong and what they're doing right. It's important to give good feedback and praising comments. 

Edward walks up next to me and gives me a smirk. "Laila vs Jasper." 

I watch my mate walk up in her wolf form, stopping a few feet away. "Hello, darling. I'll go easy on you." I use my southern accent when calling her darling. She seems to pause, staring into my eyes for a couple of seconds but there is no love there. I only see deep-seated hatred and from her emotions, I can tell she's not very happy with me.

Without missing a beat, she charges at me and it's easily dodged. Almost crashing into a tree, she has no time to turn around before I wrap my arms around her wolf body and squeeze tightly but not tight enough to hurt her. Sensing she has been defeated, she starts snapping her jaws in the air attempting to reach me. Feeling her soft fur in my hands I almost lose focus for a second. "As a shifter, it's very important to not let the newborns get their arms around you, they will crush all of your bones in mere seconds." I put my teeth close to her neck. "Or they'll bite you and it will be a slow painful death." She stops moving. 

Putting her down gently, she turns and snaps her teeth at me before running back to her pack.

Does she not know who I am to her?
