Jasper POV

When the day came for Peter and Char to arrive Bella was absent, saying she wouldn't be long before speeding off. I was antsy, incredibly antsy without her near me and I didn't like it. I didn't like how Alice and Edward seemed smug with my state, well that was until I snarled lowly at them and they quickly found something else to stare at.

"I can't see them!" Alice suddenly screeched as she and her mate came running into the living room. Everyone but Bella was doing their own thing in here, I was in a sour mood due to not having Bella with me and everyone was keeping a safe distance. Not like it mattered, if I snapped then they would be defenceless.

"See who dear?" Esme asked calmly, currently sitting with Carlisle as he read a medical journal. He was obsessed with those as much as I was obsessed with civil war books. Luckily Bella thought it was cute and not an odd obsession like Esme thought Carlisle's was.

"The blood drinkers" she stated causing me to growl at her, her tone was so disrespectful that she should be glad that Bella wasn't here. She would have snapped instantly, not having as much control around civil vampires as I had.

"I can't see their futures!" she said panicked causing me to grin; Bella must be near them I thought with a smug look. I knew she would automatically shield them, they wouldn't be aware of her due to her being able to block her scent but she was forever cautious.

Alice was furiously rubbing her temples as we all sped outside, hearing them approach. Bella's emotions immediately filtered back into me and I breathed a sigh of relief, her mischievous and excitement the most forefronts.

"Jasper! Brother!" Peter grinned widely as he ran towards me, though before he could reach the porch where we were standing he was suddenly covered in what looked like blood, though it smelt vile enough for us all to take a step back and cringe. What the fuck?

Everyone jumped back including his mate; the stench coming from him was purely vile as he screamed out in surprise and disgust. I smirked; I couldn't help it as everyone else burst out laughing once they recovered from the shock. His expression was priceless, an image I was eagerly submitting to my memory to tease him with later.

"What the hell dude, what the fuck is this?" he said as he tried to get it off, it seemed thick.

"Pigs blood" Bella suddenly stated grinning, jumping down gracefully from the roof before skipping to stand by my side where she belonged. Their faces were comical; both Peter and Char staring unbelieving at her while she grinned back. They seemed to be in shock, which was amusing in itself since I didn't think it was possible for us to do so.

"Bella? BELLA!" Char suddenly screamed, running past Peter as she launched herself at a grinning Bella. Everyone seemed shocked when Char kissed her smack on the lips as she tackled my mate to the ground, but I couldn't help but let my eyes darken slightly at the sight in front of me. What? I was a guy and seeing two hot chicks kiss was hot even if it was just a peak on the lips. I knew if it was anyone else then Char through they would have been dead already, Char was the only exception.

"Wow that's hot dude" Emmett stated getting a glare from Rose.

"Bella? What the fuck! While I am happy to see you darlin', how come I get covered in this shit and my mate gets some sugar" Peter protested though he was grinning, even if he did look a little pissed off.

"Sorry Pete but I couldn't resist, I had been planning it for days. Did you know you can by any kind of blood by the bucket load if you Google it?" she asked with a wide grin, quickly speeding to my side as I kissed her adoringly. It was clear this was what she had been planning, it finally making sense as I put together all the clues.

"Uh…welcome Peter, Charlotte. How about you take a shower?" Esme greeted, looking pointedly at a scowling Peter. While he was scowling as he quickly went inside his emotions were the opposite. He like Char was pleased as hell that Bella was back; she was definitely part of the family.

"How are you doll? You have to tell us everything" Char gushed as we walked into the house, so that's exactly what Bella did.

She talked about her punishment when we left, how Maria had grew more violent and selfish. She then went onto going into detail about the bitch's mistakes and why it took so long to end her as well as the whole Southern Wars. While I was furious with what she had gone through without me I was glad she had already told me beforehand, Charlotte and Peter having trouble controlling their own rages as Bella shielded my emotions slightly.

The other Cullen's were stunned, struggling to keep up with her story. They weren't there so parts of it were clueless to them, but I could tell they were both proud and horrified with what she had been though and what they had managed to gather and understand from the story.

We were all lounging about with our mates when Edward and Alice walked in, Peter almost immediately noting the scar on the back of the mind-readers neck.

"Wow Eddie, which one did you piss off?" Peter laughed, though there was a serious tone to his voice. Charlotte looked at us with a raised brow, only getting a shrug out of us as we went back to nuzzling each other fondly.

"Huh?" he asked confused, I rolled my eyes as both he and Alice eyed us wearily like they always did.

"The mark on your neck dipshit, that is a submissive mark" Peter stated rolling his own red eyes, to be honest I couldn't see him with golden ones anyway. I doubt they would suit him, it just wasn't him.

"A what?" was his dumb reply, absently scratching the bite on his neck as he did so.

"Is he serious?" Charlotte asked me, I shrugged but nodded.

"It shows that a vampire spared your life" Peter said in a patronising tone which caused Bella to laugh slightly. He snapped in her direction and gave her a wink, their emotions still of disbelief as they stared at my mate. We watched as Edward looked anywhere but us, I smirked as he stuttered before looking at Bella for a brief second.

"Boo" she snapped causing him to flinch; I couldn't help but smirk as I buried my face in her neck in an attempt to hide it.

"That would be Jaspers' Bella, I hadn't seen anything like it until Bella kindly indulged me in explaining it" Carlisle said, looking at an amused Peter with a grin as he talked about learning something new. Me? I could help but grin and purr at how he said 'Jaspers Bella', I couldn't help it. She was MINE, as I was hers!

"Yea, it's actually more difficult than it looks to do, getting a vampire in such a submissive and defenceless pose. I tried it once, Jasper had to rip the vampire off me after it went wrong" Peter explained surprising everyone, then again Bella did make it look effortless.

"So what you do to piss her off?" Charlotte asked, the tension rising as everyone remained silent until Bella broke it.

"Fucking cowards" Bella spat at the pair of them causing them to flinch, looks of understanding crossed both my brothers and his mate's faces. Bella like myself couldn't stand cowards and we quickly filled them in on the war and such.

The little respect which they may have had for the mated pair dropped to nothing, like Bella they would be civil for Esmes sake but that was it. They were nothing to them now, not to mention the bite of Edward's neck would make vampires think he was an easy target. He really should wear a scarf when he goes out to cover it up, but I wasn't going to be the one to point it out.
