Breaking Free

Chapter 05
Jasper had Pete begin rigging the place to burn as soon as he had bundled his sleeping mate into the back of one of the SUV's that the Cullen's owned. He parked it quite a distance from the house and had Char stay in it with Bella.
He went through the entire house with Esme and emptied every safe that she knew of. There were five, not including Jasper's own.
While they were doing this, he spoke to her about what she would do. "Esme, you're welcome to travel to Volterra with us. Maybe you'll find what you're looking for there? They're not all that bad. Not as bad as you've been made to think all these years. At least it would give you a place to think and make a decision."
She turned from emptying the last safe. "I think I will Jasper. Thank you."
He inclined his head and slung the bag over a shoulder. "Let's get the hell outta here so we can get rid of this place. You got everything out that you wanted to keep?
She looked around sadly. "Yes, I believe so. Thank you for giving me time to do that."
He sighed. "It's not a problem Esme. Go get into one of the SUV's that are closer to the house. The one parked in the distance has my mate and only Pete and Char will be in that one with me."
She smiled. "I understand Jasper and for what it's worth, I'm happy that you found your mate. You deserve some happiness."
He nodded. "Thank you Esme."
She headed over to one of the vehicles and Pete walked up. "We should be able to spark everything from here. You ready Major?"
He stared at the place that had been his last prison. He was determined that it would be the very last place to see him in such a predicament. "Been ready Captain." Pete handed him the lighter. "Would you like to do the honors?"
Jasper grabbed the lighter. "Sure. Might as well." He tossed the lighter through the open window and watched as the structure caught before he began walking toward the vehicle his mate was in, an instant inferno just behind him.
Pete, standing by the SUV, marveled at the sight of his fearsome Major, striding toward him with towering flames as a backdrop. The sight sent a shiver through his body, as it seemed to portend ominous things to come.
He was just happy to be on the Major's good side, as he had always been and would always remain.
"Pete, I'm gonna go have a few words with Aro. I'll be right back and then we can leave."
Pete nodded. "Yes sir Major."
Aro stepped out of the vehicle as soon as he saw the Major approach. "What can I do for you Major?"
"I wanted to speak with you about boarding the plane with my mate. Is there a private room on the plane?"
Aro nodded in understanding. "Yes, there is and we will hold off boarding until you and your mate are safely in the room at the back. I shall make certain that no one approaches the room during the flight."
"I appreciate that Aro. Thank you. Now, we'd better be on our way before the humans show up due to the smoke. I'll see you at the airstrip."
Once he loaded into the vehicle with his mate, they all took off, their destination a private airstrip in Seattle where the Volturi jet was waiting.
Jasper held his mate close, smoothing her silken locks away from her face. He couldn't help but long for the days when she would wake from this gestational sleep for more than just feeding and sex. He enjoyed that, don't get him wrong, but he really wanted her companionship. He had to admit though that this was a small price to pay for what they would gain in the end; children.
He smiled a secret smile against her hair as he held her close, his thoughts wandering to picture their babies. He wondered what they would look like. Would they his hair or hers?
One of each maybe? Would they be boys, girls or one of each? He didn't really care, he just wanted to see them and hold them.
He nuzzled her neck and purred for her. It seemed as though fate was finally, finally ready to smile upon him and he was ready to do anything necessary to defend his good fortune. He'd burn down the whole damn world to protect his mate and his babies.
Char turned around in her seat in the front. "Major, how we gonna handle the airplane and being in such close proximity with the other vampires?"
"I spoke to Aro about that already. There is a private room at the back of the plane. I will board with Bella first and get her situated before anyone else boards. He said he would keep any of the others from approaching the room. With you and Pete stationed at the door, that should be sufficient."
She nodded. "Pete and I will stick with you as you carry her into the castle too. I'm assumin' that you want me with her anytime you can't be."
He smiled. "You know me too well Char. Yeah, I would appreciate that. At least until she wakes up from her gestational sleep. She'll be able to communicate with me after that, so it won't be such a worry to me."
"I'd really like to start teaching her how to fight before the babies get too big and make it hard for her to move around."
Char nodded. "Yeah, that's probably not a bad idea, especially if she's gonna be by your side when you go out on missions. At least, that's what I thought you were plannin'."
Bella shifted around in his hold, a hiss leaving her before he nuzzled her, his purr rising in volume to quiet her.
Her eyes blinked open slowly and she smiled at him, curling into his hold, her face rubbing against his muscled chest. "Umm my Major, my mate." She glanced around with hooded, sleepy eyes. "Where are we going Major?"
He nuzzled and kissed her neck, murmuring out the answer against her skin. "We're going to the vampire capital of the world my mate; Volterra, Italy. We'll be staying in the castle there. It's the safest place for you and our babies."
She nodded and rubbed her cheek against his, placing light kisses as she did. "Good. I can feel that you worry for us Major and I don't like when you worry."
He smiled and held her close. "I'm happy to hear that you can feel what I'm feeling Bella. It means that we will be able to talk to each other mentally very soon, and I'll worry a lot less when that happens."
She stretched. "Umm hmmm, so sleepy…... but I'm thirsty Major, please?"
She sat up, her fangs already showing as he cupped the back of her head, guiding her to his neck. He groaned as she sank those fangs into him, immediately drawing on his blood as he resisted the urge to bed her. One always came with the other so to resist the urge now was hell but he managed. He managed that is, until she turned and straddled him, rocking herself over the prominent bulge in his jeans.
"Please Major? I want you."
"We'll have to wait my beautiful mate. We're not alone. Do you see Pete and Char in the front there? We'll have a room on the plane. I'll take care of you then."
She pouted and ripped his shirt down the front, kissing and licking over his chest that she'd just exposed. "No Major. Can't wait."
She hissed at him as he took hold of her hands. "Bella, we must wait."
Her eyes filled with tears as she looked at him, and he groaned in frustration. "Ah shit. Pete, turn up the music."
Pete smirked at him in the mirror. "Yes sir Major." He cranked the music and grabbed Char's hand giving it a squeeze as she smiled at him.

Meanwhile Bella reached for the fastenings of his jeans, releasing her prize and stroking him twice before placing him at her entrance and sinking down with a moan of satisfaction. "Oh Major…..."
She arched her back as she rode him, his hands on her hips guiding her in a brisk and powerful rhythm.
Pete reached up and flipped up the rearview mirror, just to ensure that his eyes didn't wander.
He squeezed his eyes shut for just a second when he realized that the Major was projecting. Fuck. He was now hard enough to cut fucking diamonds and he glanced over at Char who was staring at him, choking on her laughter.
He gave her a flat look that promised retribution later and turned back to the road, his hands leaving permanent imprints on the steering wheel, actual cracks forming when the wave from their combined orgasms hit.
Jesus, could vampires sweat all of the sudden because he sure as hell felt like he was.
Air. He needed some fucking air. Rolling down the window part way, he took in great breaths of fresh air and sighed in relief. Damn. He felt like having a cigarette and some pillow talk. Fucking empath.
To Pete's great relief, Bella went right back to sleep after the torture session and so it was a pretty peaceful ride the rest of the way to the airstrip.
Once they got there and parked, they could see everyone else parked and standing well off to the side of the hangar and nowhere near the jet.
Jasper leaned up to Pete. "Go check out the jet inside. Send the all clear to your mate who'll be waiting at the bottom of the stairs."
He looked at Char, who was already nodding. "Char, you let me know when it's safe to move my mate."
"Yes sir Major."
When he got the all clear he carefully exited the vehicle, Bella wrapped in a blanket and clutched to his chest.
Pete noticed that the Major's eyes were pitch black and just prayed that none of the Volturi were stupid enough to try something. He didn't think there would be, but sometimes, just when you think everything's fine….
Aw, shit. Something like this happens! He watched in horror as the two twins from hell approached, obviously against Aro's wishes as he was now looking very stressed as he stood watching.
Marcus moved toward Aro. "All will be well Aro. They have bonds to the Major. He will feel those bonds when they get close enough."
"Bonds? What sort of bonds?"
Marcus smiled. "Bonds of family. They will protect and love the Major and his mate as they do you Aro."
A deep warning growl brought their attention back to the vicinity of the jet and the wary Major as he watched the twins draw closer, their heads down and hands held out.
He stood still and let them come all the way to him, astonishing everyone as he smiled as they embraced him.
"We will help protect you and your mate Major, if that's okay?"
He reached down with his free hand, smoothing his fingers through their hair. "Yes, that would be fine with me. You both may stay by the room with Peter and Charlotte."
They smiled up at him and walked with him as he entered the jet.
Aro looked at a smiling Marcus. "Well, if I had any worries about the Major and his coven fitting in, I don't now."
He then noticed his brother's gaze directed toward the three remaining Cullen's who were huddled together looking a bit lost.
"Marcus? Is there a reason why your gaze lingers on the Cullen's?"
Marcus simply nodded and offered his hand to his brother. Aro took it and gasped, looking at his brother with a smile. "This is wonderful news for you Marcus! Congratulations!"
Their attention was caught by Pete waving them all in. It was now safe to board and be on their way.
To Italy.
To the safety and shelter of the castle.
To the training of the guard…... and eventual war.
