Soon Jasper found himself across the country, escorting Bella to the public bathroom on the very day the rest of his family would be joining them in Phoenix to regroup. The baseball game turned into a manhunt that solidified the happy couple’s idea of star crossed love, of unbreakable bonds tested by a villainous vampiric tracker himself. This little romance would be over before the next season.Įxcept, it wasn’t. She was his equal in intuition and even without his empath talents, she was truly a force to be reckoned with.Īnd so she too played along, for everyone’s sake, confident in the knowledge both of them knew to be true. What Rosalie lacked in a physical power she more than made up for in wits. Jasper shouldn't have been surprised she figured it out before anyone else. That was all it was, and now she had Jasper’s gift to prove it. It wasn’t until he caught Rosalie’s eye later that day, saw the question in her arched brow and the smugness in her sneer after he nodded his assent. Jasper kept his mouth shut and his mind politely empty. So sure were they of the girl’s more permanent role by Edward’s side, and in extension in this family, so ecstatic were they that Edward had finally found the piece of eternity he had been missing for the last century. Jasper himself thought nothing of it as he stood next to Alice, just far enough to appease his uneasy brother, but close enough to bask in the joy emanating from Carlise and Esme as they met the girl who had stolen Edward’s heart for the very first time. The sexual tension and nervous teenage puppy love could hardly be blamed. Jasper knew it from the first moment she was officially introduced to the family. Why should they know the girl they had both claimed as the next Cullen would never become an actual member of the family? It would destroy Edward’s very being, he knew, and more importantly, it would hurt his Alice’s heart. Why shouldn’t he keep something inevitable to himself for a little while longer? Why shatter the illusion Edward brought upon their lives quicker than it needed to end?

Jasper let them continue with their assumptions.Īfter all, there were very few secrets in the family. His besotted brother hardly gave it a thought at all as far as he knew. His mate brushed it aside as his own aloof personality. The majority of his family chalked it up to bloodlust. There was a reason Jasper Hale never got close to Bella Swan, his supposed new sister.
