their little mate

Chapter Thirteen: The War is Coming

Kiara's POV:

I woke up on Jasper's chest, one arm around his neck while the other gripped his shirt. My head lays on his shoulder as my hair fans out around us. He's sitting up against the headboard reading but smiles down at me when he sees I'm awake. "Good morning, little darling. Emmett went to hunt with Carlisle and Esme. When they get back we all need to speak with you about something. For now it's just you and me." He kisses my forehead before leaning down and kissing my lips softly. I sit up on his lap as his arms wrap around me. His hands move to hold my cheeks as he deepens the kiss. It quickly turns steamy as he kisses down my neck. Once he reaches my mark, he sucks gently before growling as his fangs sink into my skin. I gasp in shock as Jasper takes a long deep drag of blood before his fangs retract and he continues to suck and bite my neck. His eyes are filled with lust as I take deep breaths. "I'm sorry, darling. My inner vampire wants to mate. So if I remark you and occasionally take some of your blood, it appeases him for a short while. Emmett will probably have to as well once he returns. We don't want to pressure you but it gets harder and harder to resist you. Once the Isabella issue has been resolved we will need to complete the bond." I blush softly at the thought. "I understand, Jassy. I feel ready to complete it once we're all safe." He smiles before kissing me again. When we pull away, Jasper listens intently. "Emmett is back. He's on his way back up." Just as he finishes speaking, Emmett walks in. Once he sees me, Emmett growls softly before lifting me into his arms. He sits on the bed with me in his lap. Emmett cups my cheeks as he kisses me. He deepens the kiss before starting to suck and bite down my neck until he reaches his mark. Emmett kisses the mark once before his fangs extend and sink into my skin. I moan softly as he takes a deep drag of my blood before retracting his fangs. He licks away the excess blood before kissing me again. "I love you, little goddess." I smile as I kiss his cheek. "I love you too, Emmy. And I love you, Jasper." Jasper kisses my cheek as he speaks. "I love you as well, little darling." We all cuddle for a little bit before Carlisle calls for us. Emmett carries me down in his arms. When we enter the living room, everyone is gathered around on the couches. But what surprises me is the Volturi standing behind an empty couch. Aro, Marcus and Papa along with the elite guards. "Papa!" I say excitedly then blush. "I'm sorry, please continue." Everyone coos softly at me as I bury my head in Emmett's neck. He chuckles as he runs his fingers through my hair. Carlisle smiles softly before speaking. "The Volturi are here to help with the upcoming battle. We will be meeting the wolves in the field shortly. Isabella is already here, waiting for us in the field. She thinks she has the element of surprise. Which she doesn't, however she is still very dangerous. Kiara will be with Edward and Paul up in the mountains, away from the battle. However, come morning, Paul will join us in the field. The battle begins in the morning so we'll camp out near the field tonight." Jasper and Emmett both growl at the thought of separating from me. "Boys, I understand but it's the safest option for her. You want her safe don't you?" Caius speaks quickly. Jasper and Emmett reluctantly agree. "Masters, perhaps I could stay with the principessa? That way she's extra protected?" Felix questions softly. Jasper and Emmett both seem to like this idea. Caius looks to his brothers who nod softly. "I don't see a problem with that, Felix. Does that make this situation better for you, Jasper and Emmett?" My mates both nod quickly. Everyone smiles softly. "Then it's settled..." The vampires in the room all growl loudly. "There's three nomads here, I don't recognize the scents." Edward talks quickly as everyone but Carlisle moves to surround me. Kieran and Emmett both gently move me behind them. Jasper stands behind me with Rosie. Carlisle opens the door slowly. "Hello, I am Laurent. This is Victoria and James. We came in peace, Isabella threatened us in order to get us here. But we've ultimately decided to not fight alongside her. She seems to have become obsessive. So we ran here as fast as we could." Carlisle lets them in, but my mates and the guard growl in warning. "As you can imagine, we are very protective of Kiara. She is a shared mate after all." Laurent's eyes widened. "What? Isabella never told us this. She is going around saying you told a random human our secret and must be eliminated. I can assure you, had we known this, we'd never agree to fight. If you let us, we'd like to help." Carlisle looks towards my mates who reluctantly nod. "We understandably don't trust you, but we'd do anything to protect our mate." Emmett speaks clearly.
