Chapter Eleven

Jasper's Pov

Arriving at the ball, I was nervous. I couldn't help but be nervous. This would be the first time that I'm seeing Nora since she was human. I was nervous and angry. Angry that she slept with Edward, and angry they have a kid together. Emmett and Peter informed me of everything they knew about Nora's new life. Including the part where I had a son. I didn't know how to react to that. What could I even say to that? I never thought I could have a kid. Now I know it's possible, but still.

"Jazz?" Alice said, pulling me from my thoughts. I looked up and we arrived at the Volturi castle. I sighed deeply and climbed out of the car, my wife following me. I had no feelings toward Alice, not since Nora.

The only reason I'm still with her was because of loyalty. She went off on search of her mate and never found him. After I left Nora, Alice and I got back together. We decided that we would stay together until she did find her mate. We were basically each other's support system. We were best friends who happened to be married. We were still sexual but there is no romantic feelings toward one another.

"Relax." Alice said, grabbing my hand. I sighed and walked into the castles, followed by my two brothers and their wives. Emmett and Peter, unlike me, were determined to show they were happy without Nora. They wanted her to feel their hurt. I tried to talk them out if it. They wouldn't listen. I knew they would regret it, regret hurting their mate.

I walked into the ballroom and my eyes automatically found Nora. She was breathtaking. If my heart still beat, it would be pounding in my chest. She was turned away from us, but I could still remember all the details of her face without seeing them. When she turned to us, her face dropped. I felt disgusted in myself evening thinking about arriving with Alice on my arm.

"Thank you for coming to the ball. Enjoy your time." Nora said, her smile plastered back in her face. The smile didn't reach her eyes, it was like she put on a mask. Her emotions were radiating sadness and pain. I wanted to take her in my arms and make her feel better. The amount of sad dripping from her was almost crippling.

As she walked past us, I watched her every move. I watched her focus on something and look back at Emmett with shock. Panic and anger quickly added to those emotions as she rushed out of the ballroom. I turned toward Emmett and Rosalie in question. What did she notice that made her panic? It was when I noticed, Rosalie's mate mark.

Her mate had died. They found each other way before we met Nora. After she ran off with him, Emmett discovered Nora. After we left Nora, Rosalie has come back to us. Her mate had been killed and Emmett took her under his arm. They were more twins than Rose and I could ever be.

"Em, she noticed my mating mark." Rose said, figuring the same that I had. She disagreed with what Emmett and Peter were doing. She chewed my ass for not running after Nora when we discovered she was alive. Said If there was a slight chance her mate was alive, she'd be the first one running after him.

"Doesn't matter." Em responded. Rose looked at him angrily.

"Emmett McCarty, you are disgusting and should be ashamed of yourself." Rose said and stomped away. He just scoffed. Guilt filled him, but he was still hurt and angry at Nora that he ignored it.

I was just going to search for Nora, to talk to her. I needed to talk to her. Maybe she had a good explanation. Just as I was about to excuse myself, she walked back into the ballroom.

"Let's get this party started!" She said loudly and headed toward the guard I know as Felix. She grabbed him by the arm and pulled him on the dance floor. They were standing a little to close for comfort. His hands were on her hips, close to her ass. I felt my instincts slowly taking over me.

"Jasper, calm down." Alice said, tightening her grip on my arm.

"He has her hands on my mate, and she's letting it happen." I growled out lowly.

"Cause she's a slut. That's what sluts do." Peter said bitterly. I glared at him darkly, shutting him up. I'd be damned if he continued to bad talk my mate in front of me. I've had quite enough of his and Emmett's shit. Nora and Felix were whispering lowly to one another and I felt my anger rise. I stalked over to Felix and Nora.

"Can I cut in?" I asked, trying to stop myself from ripping off the guard's head.

———————————

It's short, I know. I don't want all the boys to hate Nora. I don't know how I'm gonna have everything go down. Stay tuned.
