The Cowboy ( Jasper Hale )

Long before Forks became the quiet home of the Cullen family, Jasper Hale lived a very different life-one shaped by war, bloodshed, and ruthless vampire covens in the South and across Europe.

What no one knows is that during his darkest years, Jasper crossed paths with a woman just as dangerous as he was:

Katherine Blackhart.

In the 1860s, when Katherine was fleeing enemies and building her legend, she briefly joined a powerful vampire network that specialized in manipulation and control. Jasper, still newly turned and struggling with the emotional chaos of immortality, became one of their strongest weapons.

Katherine saw Jasper as more than muscle-she recognized his rare emotional abilities and used him to keep covens loyal and armies obedient. Jasper, in turn, saw through Katherine's masks. He was one of the few who knew the fear, loneliness, and survival instincts hidden beneath her confidence.

But their alliance ended in betrayal.

Katherine vanished after stealing something valuable from the coven-leaving Jasper to take the blame. The punishment he endured shaped him into the guarded, controlled vampire he becomes.

What will happen when they reunite centeries later..
