His Black Swan

10

Visha was silent as Jasper drove them deeper into the woods, she was aware that each of the Cullens had their own personal properties, so she was quite happy to finally see Jasper's. Her eyes widened as they reached the sunny side near the top of the mountain. She had known this land to be private property for years. She silently observed as Jasper rushed out and unlocked the large gate before driving in.

So he owned this land. She wondered. Why, as they got closer to the house, her eyes widened. It was a beautiful Spanish-styled home in the middle of a large property. The girl could hear horses and cattle looking around. She understood what was happening. "You have your own ranch up here, but why?"

Jasper smiled and walked her to the house. "Some vampires who are turned still keep old habits; I tend to employ Texan vampires." The girl said nothing as he guided her through the courtyard and up the stairs. "Jasper, it's beautiful, but why?" 

Jasper guided her into the master bedroom and placed her tote bag on a dressing table that was expertly made. "I am from Texas on occasion. In my youth, we crossed the border. My father fell in love with a Mexican woman. The culture impacted our lives in a good way".

Visha placed a hand on his face, tracing his every feature. "You miss them," she stated. Jasper laughed softly and leaned forward. "Yes, I do, but as time passes, the memory of them gets blurry". Visha nodded and looked around the room. "It's beautiful. How long did it take for you to build?"

Jasper wrapped an arm around her waist and buried his head in her neck "A month of nonstop work and then a couple of weeks to make all the furniture" Visha hummed before turning to him "You made all the furniture" Jasper nodded his hands firmly on her waist.

"The houses I built that are in my name were built solely for my mate and me to live. I only trusted Peter and Charlotte to help me build" Visha smiled softly as she heard the devotion and nervousness in his voice.

"It's Perfect"

Visha whispered before kissing him softly. The vampire quickly picked her up as Visha wrapped her legs tightly around his waist and deepened the kiss. The couple reluctantly separated when Jasper's phone went off. "Ignore it," she whispered against his lips.

The man lost in his mate's gaze just shut off his phone and placed it back in his pocket. Stunning silver eyes captivated his every thought before he found himself lowering her onto the bed. He watched as Visha no longer hid her features and was in awe as her tails and ears were on full display, along with her teeth.

She was stunning. Jasper could not help but run his hands over her ears and tail. "Exquisite," he mumbled before hearing Visha let out a soft moan. "Jas my tails they are...' the girl trailed off as her mate quickly caught on.

"But you fight with them" the girl smiled up at him "Only our mates can cause such a reaction" Jasper smirked "Then Darlin I will take joy in using it against you". The Kitsuné gasped as he continued before she used her strength to flip him over. The vampire smirked and ran his hands up her thighs.

Visha felt like she was on fire with his simple touches. This was more than she had expected. Now she knew why others spoke of the mate bond as they did. It was addicting and invigorating.

"Jasper," she whispered as the two maintained eye contact, the room heavy with the scent of lust and desire. Before she knew it, Jasper was taking control. It was simply orgasmic.

Hours later, Visha lay on Jasper's chest, her nails drawing a pattern on his chest as she got closer to her mate. The room smelt of sex and blood, but it did not bother them. The couple was content to bask in each other's presence and touch.

Jasper wrapped his arm around her waist as he gazed down at his woman. "You look beautiful," he whispered before pressing a kiss to her head. Visha's eyes were a stunning silver as she looked up at him. Jasper found himself tempted to continue the act once more when his phone rang, disturbing their solitude.

"What is it" Jasper snapped still annoyed by the interruption, there was a silence before he heard the awkward clearing of a throat and a soft voice ask, "Is this Mr Jasper Whitlock Hale?" Jasper frowned at the unfamiliar voice and sat up.

"Yes," There was silence and then the girl spoke. "I believe you are my great-great-great-grandfather many times over" Jasper, now confused, looked at the phone and then at Visha. "Excuse me?" From what he could make out, this was a vampire by the sound of her voice, but to his knowledge, he had no descendants.

"I had no children in my human life," was all he said. Visha now understanding her mate's confusion, crawled into his lap and took the phone. "Hello, I'm his mate. Can you explain why you believe he is your ancestor?"

The two locked eyes when they heard a relieved sigh "Umm before he left for war, he umm had relations with a slave girl by the name of Beth Ann" Jasper now glared at the phone before snapping "Beth Ann was no slave, my pa and I freed her before I left. If grandfather wasn't the head of the family, I would have married that girl".

Visha smiled. She was not upset hearing that cause it at least told her that in his human life, Jasper had found love. The girl on the phone cleared her throat. "Well, umm, she had a child nine months after a mulatto girl she named Jessamine Whitlock"

Jasper was now silent before venom appeared in his eyes. Finally, he spoke, "My, daughter, what was her life like?" The girl on the phone seemed to be talking to someone and then she spoke "You can ask her that yourself if you would like to meet?"

Jasper looked at his mate who nodded in approval "Where are you?" the girl over the phone "We are in Texas, but we can meet you in Forks if that's better" Visha seemed to be considering it and spoke, "We will soon be defending our territory from newborns will you be alright with being here?"

"We are willing to lend aid," Visha smiled. "It will be a pleasure to meet you all" With that the call ended. "Tell me about Beth Ann" was all the woman said as she straddled her mate. Jasper paused, seeming to be thinking of his human years. "Most of our kind forget things after a long time, but I treasured those memories so much that nothing faded."

" Beth Ann was my grandfather's slave. Yet she never acted like she was oppressed. She was happy and full of life. It was hard to not love her or her cooking. My grandfather found out about my affection for her and beat me for the first time. I only wanted to be with her more, so when he got sick, I snuck her down to Mexico for a month. Those were the best days when we returned. He was furious." There was a pause and then Jasper continued, "He threatened to sell her unless I did what he wanted, so I did what was necessary".

Jasper placed a soft kiss on Visha's head. "After a while, I joined the confederacy. It distracted my grandfather long enough for my father to leave for New York with her. To hear she had my child" Visha laughed softly "It sounds like she was amazing" Jasper looked at his mate "Yes, she was but she is not you Darlin"

The couple stayed together until Visha got up and threw on Jasper's shirt. "Show me the rest of the house, please," Jasper smiled. "Of course". Visha was not going to tell her mate about the new glow in his eyes or how he was growing warmer just yet. Maybe after the battle, she was sure he would be very happy.

Hi everyone, my apologies. I was occupied with work and classes. Here is your new chapter. I have been dabbling with Jasper's background and eventually managed to fix it to my liking.
