The Inauspicious Beginnings Of A Prince
by Laura Spudzmom
Chapter 21
Alice paced angrily in front of her 'brother', tossing him looks of supreme disdain every now and then, her disgust with him plain.
"How could you screw things up so completely Edward?! All you had to do was get her to agree to move to the main house and the path would have been set! Everything has changed once again! You are now all alone in this existence Edward when just a day ago, things were so bright and you were happy with Isabella. True, she was merely content, but you were beyond happy. It was perfect….and now? Gone Edward! She is once again solidly by the side of Jasper as a princess of Volterra!"
Alice was screeching now and Edward cringed. Then his anger at the situation kicked in and he shot to his feet.
"There was nothing I could do Alice! I had her. She had agreed to move to the main house! She was packing her things when he came back and they had words when he saw what she was doing. Then he fucked her and marked her Alice! Tell me sister dear" he sneered out, "just how the fuck was I supposed to stop him?!"
Alice slumped into a chair, one hand over her face, mumbling. "Gone, it's all gone. My future, my mate, gone….Once they reach Volterra, I'll never see him again….I must stop it."
Edward was also in his own shocked world, everything he had planned and looked forward to had just vanished and he was once again facing a solitary eternity when one so perfect for him was busy whoring herself out to his most hated 'sibling', Jasper.
Once again, he growled to himself. He could not let it happen. He had to do something. And so he began to plan.
~o0o~
Jasper woke before the first rays of sunlight struggled to make it through the clouds, his mind busy with all he needed to do.
His father and uncles would be leaving soon and he wanted to introduce Bella to them before they had to go. It was looking like today was going to be the only opportunity to do that due to school starting.
His lip curled in distaste and he sighed. Well, if things hadn't happened as they had and he hadn't come back for his brother, he never would have met Bella. His heart lurched at the prospect. He could no longer imagine a life without her.
"Bella? Wake up baby. We need to get ready for you to meet my father and uncles."
Bella shot up at hearing that, eyes wide.
"What?! Jasper, you didn't say anything about me meeting them any time soon! Why today? I'm not ready! Oh god, what will I wear?! Jasper, I can't possibly meet the Kings of your world today! I look like shit!"
He couldn't help it. He began to laugh and then stifled it to a grin when she shot him a dirty look.
He hugged her to him. "You'll be fine beautiful girl. They know that you are my mate and they will love you as they love me. Would you like me to go there first and let them know you'll be coming to meet them? I can do that while you get ready."
She nodded. "Yes please. That will at least give me a chance to get used to the idea of meeting them. God Jasper, of all the things to spring on me when I'm just waking up! I haven't even had any caffeine!"
He kissed her cheek and hopped out of bed. "Alright. I'll get ready and go see them. You get ready while I'm gone. Have a quick breakfast. I'll take my time and text you to see if you're ready before coming back for you. Sound good?"
She nodded absently. "Yeah, just….yeah. Give me time to come to terms with it all. I mean, meeting the parents is bad enough but meeting the royal parents? The royal vampire parents?" She looked up with wide eyes. "Jesus
Jasper. You can't just spring something like that on me!"
He rolled his eyes. "God Bella, they're just my parents and uncles. Just think about them in those terms and forget all the rest."
He made his way to the restroom to get ready and laughed quietly at her disgruntled mumbling.
~o0o~
When he got to the main house, he could tell there was something different. He could feel it in the emotional climate and he wondered at it. It wasn't bad necessarily, just different.
Knocking first for courtesy's sake, he entered and stopped in his tracks. They had visitors. Someone he hadn't seen in years, since he was small in Volterra.
"Paula! How are you?"
The vampire he hadn't seen in years spun around and simply stared for moments before finding her voice.
"Jasper?" She flew at him, grabbing him into a crushing hug. "You have grown up." She set him away from her, looking him up and down and shaking her head.
"I almost failed to recognize you! You have grown into a fine Prince to be sure!"
He laughed. "Yes well, the years will do that to a child Paula. It's not to be so unexpected." He smirked.
She took a swipe at his arm and he dodged it handily. "Watch it young one."
Carlisle stepped forward then. "I wasn't aware that you knew my son Paula."
Her eyes grew wide. "Your son? But I thought…"
She trailed off at the dark look on Jasper's face.
Jasper turned to her fully. "While it's true that he is my biological father, Caius and Athenadora are my parents in every other sense of the words and always will be. I came to live with them at the age of eight, and before that I had lived with my brother in the wild. I was only with the Cullen family for two weeks of my life, if that."
She nodded. "I see. Goodness, I had no idea. And I've known Carlisle practically his entire vampire life."
She turned to Carlisle then. "I"m hurt that you never told me Carlisle. Perhaps I could have helped you in what seems to have been a very difficult situation."
Carlisle nodded. "Yes, perhaps you could have. We had lost him, and, as it turns out, his twin, at birth. We found him in the wild as he said, when he was eight. He did not want any part of our family and so Caius took him in. We did not know that he had an identical twin until recently when he came here for the year and brought his brother Peter to us. You'll meet him soon, I'm sure. He's probably just now waking up."
She looked to Jasper, disbelief on her face. "I had no idea that you had been so full of secrets young one."
Jasper still had a dark look on his face. He didn't like bringing all of this up at any time, much less right now.
"Yes well, I was perfectly happy when you met me Paula. Why dredge up unpleasant topics?"
"Your twin was an unpleasant topic?"
His lip curled in a snarl. "Yes! I was torn from him and had to leave him. We had made promises not to speak of the other if we were ever separated. No one seems to understand that, but that's the way it was, and I stand by my decision, despite what others may think of it."
She held up her hands. "Be at ease young one. I will not judge you."
She glanced over at Carlisle and was shocked at the hostility she saw in his countenance. Toward his son? It seemed so, and she was truly baffled at that realization.
Carlisle, as long as she had known him, had always been one of the most benevolent beings she had ever met, yet it seemed none of that was reserved for his son.
What kind of mess had she stumbled into here? She could only guess.
It was then that others joined them in the living room. Caius and his wife along with Aro and Marcus seated themselves after greeting Jasper.
Jasper took a chair next to the sofa his parents occupied and then Esme came in with a boy that could only be Jaspers twin and her heart flipped, her breath catching in her throat.
If she wasn't mistaken, she had just met her mate.

Bella had just gotten out of the shower and was drying herself when she heard a door close.
Rolling her eyes she called out. "I thought you were going to give me time to get ready and used to the idea."
She stepped from the bathroom as she dried her hair with a towel and froze in her tracks, her heart tripping into triple time.
"Edward, what are you doing here? I'm pretty sure that it's always been rude to enter someones bedroom without permission or invitation so I can't imagine it's news to you. Could you please leave while I finish getting dressed and ready?"
He merely smirked at her and her heart dropped in fear. She didn't like the look in his eyes at all and she began glancing around for her phone.
"Looking for this Isabella?" He held her phone in his hand and she almost whimpered at the hopelessness she felt at that moment.
Spinning on her heel, she bolted for the bathroom but of course she wasn't nearly fast enough and he caught her around her waist.
He began speaking into her ear then.
"Everything was on track, you know? I wasn't going to be alone any more and you would have been content too. I would have been good to you. I still will be. You see, you smell fertile to me Isabella, and I am determined to have you and one way to do that is to make sure that you become pregnant with my son or daughter. That's what I intend to do today."
She struggled fruitlessly. "Don't do this Edward. Please don't do this!"
"Ah, but you enjoy your exploits with him don't you Isabella? I've heard you just about every time. I'm outside listening while he fucks you and you moan and beg for more like the slut you are. You know, you're going to have to learn how to be a proper lady when you become pregnant with my child. I'll not have my son or daughter learning such improper behavior from their mother. It will take discipline, but I'm sure you'll get it in time for the birth. It's just a shame that we won't be properly wed until after you give birth, but it's entirely against everything I believe in to wed a pregnant woman. You'll have to go through baptism and confession before I marry you. At least then I'll know that your sins have been cleansed, but that can't happen while you're pregnant and unwed. You're just fortunate that I'm willing to compromise."
He threw her down on the bed and pulled the towel from her body while she continued to beg and plead, but it all fell on deaf ears as he stared down at her unclothed body, reaching for his zipper.
"I'm going to enjoy this Isabella, very much. Don't fight me. You'll only hurt yourself. Do you understand?"
She tried to scramble off of the bed, sobbing out Jasper's name over and over and Edward caught her and threw her back to the middle of the bed she shared with Jasper.
"Please don't do this! I love Jasper! I love him with all my heart and I will never love you! I'll hate you forever for this! I vow it! I'll see you in hell if you do this!"
He smiled. "You have spirit, that's for certain, and in time you'll come to care for me. Alice has told me so Isabella, and you should never bet against Alice."
He didn't bother taking off his pants. He merely unzipped and took himself out. "I would take my time and make love to you fully Isabella, but I'm afraid there are time constraints today, and my goal is to impregnate you." He ran his hand over the side of her face and she flinched away.
"I promise to make proper love to you soon though my jewel. You'll enjoy it then, I'm sure. But until then, let's get you pregnant."
With that, he forced her legs apart and shoved his cock inside her, frowning when she screamed.
He began thrusting into her and she sobbed with her head turned away from him, repeating Jasper's name over and over like a prayer.
She clenched her eyes shut tightly when she heard him groan out at his release and felt the pulsing waves as his cold cum filled her. She wanted to do nothing more than vomit, so that's what she did all over the bed beside her.
~o0o~
Jasper smiled as he looked at his old friend. It had been a long time since he had seen her but she had always been one of his favorite people to visit with when she would stop by the castle in all of her travels.
"So Paula, would you like to meet my mate before I bring her up here for her official introduction to my parents and uncles? You could go back to the cottage with me and then we'll all make our way back here. At least that way, she'll already know and be a bit used to you when she meets everyone else."
He reached into his pocket for his phone and typed out a text to let her know he was on his way.
Paula rose from her seat. "Sure! Sounds like a good plan where your mate is concerned. I'm sure she's terrified at the prospect of meeting royalty, and no, you don't count."
She smirked at him and he laughed. "Fine, I don't count. Shall we?" He gestured at the door.
~o0o~
When Jasper neared the cottage, he knew something was very wrong by the emotions he was picking up. Deep disgust, despair, loathing, and a chilling shot of sexual satisfaction mixed with triumph. He took off running as fast as he could and launched himself through his bedroom window just as Edward was pulling out of his mate.
He literally saw red, his fangs immediately descending, and he attacked, shredding the vampire that had violated his mate so completely that the body parts were no longer recognizable as any sort of anatomy.
He dripped with the venom that covered his body.
Going over to his sobbing mate, he gathered her in his arms and whispered out apologies to her, begging her forgiveness for not protecting her; not getting here in time to save her this heartache.
She clung to him as he took them both to the large shower, turning on the water to warm it and shredding his clothes to remove them as he waited.
He then walked them into the stall and proceeded to wash her gently, not missing an inch as he loved and cared for her in this way. He sat her on the built in seat as he washed himself quickly.
Carrying her out he wrapped her in fluffy towels and handed her off to Paula to help her dress.
Dressing himself, he gathered all of their valuables and keepsakes quickly from the cottage and took his mate a safe distance before placing her on a blanket he had spread beneath a tree. Walking back to the cottage, he circled back around to the bedroom and tossed a lighter through the window he'd jumped through, watching as the room burst into flames from all of the venom that was sprayed around the room from the vampires grisly death.
Going back to Bella, he sat next to her and gathered her in his arms.
"I love you Bella. No matter what, I'll always love you. In the days ahead, never doubt that. Never forget that. The only reason that I will give this a second thought is because you will give this many thoughts, I'm sure. But know that this does not change how I feel for you my beautiful girl. It never could. It never will."
Sobbing and leaning against him she gathered her thoughts.
"God Jasper, how I wish that this hadn't happened, but it has and I must deal with it. I have to get through it for us."
He brushed his fingers through her hair and kissed her head.
"We will make it through this beautiful girl. We can't let him win. He may be gone now, but he can still see a victory if we let him." He looked into her teary eyes. "We must not let him have that victory over us Bella. Don't let this crush you under it's weight. I'm here to help you."
She nodded and laid her head on his chest as he held her against him. "I love you Jasper."
"I love you Bella, more than you'll ever know."
Together, they watched the cottage and Edward Cullen burn, purple wisps mixing with black and gray.
Alice paced angrily in front of her 'brother', tossing him looks of supreme disdain every now and then, her disgust with him plain.
"How could you screw things up so completely Edward?! All you had to do was get her to agree to move to the main house and the path would have been set! Everything has changed once again!
