i hop out of mary's car and pulled my bag close to my body. Mary gave me a short wave before driving away, leaving me standing in front my house. I let out a small sigh, and walked into the door to open it.

as I was walking to my room I saw jasper looking out the window in the dining/living room. I smiled softly and walked to him. he felt my approach so he turned his head to me and returned the smile.

"nice view, is it?" I asked while staring at the view.

he looked at me and smirked. "yes it, is."

"are you alone?" I questioned him.

"yes, everyone else is hunting." He answered.

We sat in a comfortable silence staring out the window. "jasper," I called him. "you don't mind if I asked you something personal?"

"not at all." he said in his thick accent.

"tell me about you life before, you know... before changing?" I asked, felling a bit regret when I saw him flinch.

he sends me a tiny smile as he felt my emotions. "I was the youngest major in the Texas cavalry. All without having seen any real battle,"

"until..." I said getting more interesting.

his eyes darkened. "Until I'm not a certain immortal. Maria. I was riding back to Galveston after evacuating a column of women and children, When I saw her..."

he stopped for a moment and took an unnecessary breath. "she was creating an army of newborns. she was smart, careful. And she had me. I was the second in command."

"what a bitch..." I muttered to myself.

his lips stretched into a smirk that sent shivers down my spine. "she was." I burst into laughter as he's watching me with an amused look.

after My laughter died, I said; "please, continue."

"My abilities to control emotions served her well... I trained her newborns. I could feel everything they felt."

I flinched at the thought. "that's must be hard."

he nodded "very much. I thought what Maria and I had was love. But I was her puppet. She pulled the strings. I didn't know there was another way... until I found..." he stopped.

"found who?" I asked.

"you..." He said, staring straight at my eyes.

I widen my eyes slightly, I tried to speak, but I was speechless. "m-me?"

"yes you, Elizabeth." He spoke.

"i-i'm... I'm sorry, it's just..." I laughed nervously. "I'm surprised."

he took my hands to his. "we're mates, Elizabeth. In somehow you have to accept the mate bond." He said.

I nodded. "I know jasper, and I'm happy about it. and I want to accept out mate bond but not now..."

"then when?" he asked hopefully.

"when I'm ready..."
