An unlikely meeting
"Talking"
"Writing"
On a dreary day in Forks, Washington; a vampire family’s life changed. Jasper Hale was heading to his room when he heard Alice talking. Her voice was coming from his brothers/cousins room. “Why are you making us avoid her, Edward?” Alice asked, “It's hurting me just as much as it's hurting you.”
“We are monsters Alice, we could hurt her, She is everything, I cant hurt her.” Edward pleaded. He had been saying the same thing for the past few days.
“But she's my mate too, Edward, you can't force me away from our second mate!” Alice said. Edward said something back to her but Jasper didn't hear what was said. Jasper had already started walking away. He couldn't understand why Alice would lie to him like that. He knew that they were not each other's real mates, but they stayed together so they wouldn't be alone. They promised that if the other one found their real mate they would tell the other. Jasper couldn't believe that she would lead him one, all she needed to do was tell him that Edward and Bella were her mates and their relationship would end then and there.
Jasper walked straight out of the house and into the woods ignoring everyone. He was alone now, everyone had their mates. Carlisle had Esme, Emmett had Rosalie, and now Edward had Bella as well as Alice too. He just wanted someone to care for, to love and to protect.
He was shook from his musings when he smelt the most wonderful smell in the world. It wasn't like what food smelled like so he knew it wasn't his singer. He approached where the smell was coming from, and he saw two men. One of them smelled like a wolf and the other, the smaller of the two it looked like he wasn't over fifteen, he was the one that smelled heavenly. It was when the boy locked eyes with him that he realized that this boy was his mate, his one true mate. His mate had wild black hair and the most beautiful eyes he has ever seen. They are the brightest green he has ever seen, they remind him of emeralds. The boy had plump kissable lips and a strange lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead. His mate also had a black band choker wrapped around his neck. The boy didn't look over fifteen, which slightly made him feel like a cradle robber. His mate is also very thin and skinny, he would definitely be having Esme to fatten him up.
The Wolf-man stood in front of his mate protectively growling at him. Jasper felt his emotions, and held his hands up submissively knowing that his mate was this wolf’s cub even if the boy didn't smell like a wolf. The man stopped growling and said, “What do you want, vampire?”
“I don’t want any trouble sir,” Jasper fought his instincts as he spoke. “ I was on a walk in the forest when I smelt the most amazing smell, the smell of my mate.”
“Are you saying that my cub is your mate, vampire?” The man said a little hesitant but still protective.
“Yes, Sir. My name is Jasper Hale, may I ask yours?” Jasper was right about his mate being the wolf’s cub.
“ My name is Remus Lupin, and my cubs name is Harry. It's nice to meet you Jasper.”
“ May I ask you a personal question, sir?” Jasper wanted to know everything about his mate and he wanted to also be on the good side of his mate's father.
“You may, but I may not answer.” The man, Remus, was being cautious.
“ How exactly is Harry your cub, sir, he doesn't smell like a wolf?” That was one of the top questions he had. He also wanted to hear his mate speak, but he had a feeling that he would not be able to, and it had something to do with that black choker.
“His parents were my best friends, we were all very close, they were my pack. When they had Harry, I saw him as my cub and even after they passed he had and always will be my cub.” Jasper was surprised that Mr. Lupin even answered his question. His heart hurt for his mate, he lost his parents at an early age.
“Thank you for telling me. May I accompany you to wherever you two are headed, so that I can learn about my mate and his father, and you both can learn about me?”
“You may, we are headed to our new house. Another set of hands would be helpful while we unpack.”
“Thank you, Sir. I would be happy to help.” Jasper said as he followed them to their house. As he walked he sent a quick text to Carlise telling him that he found his mate and he was going to spend time with them. Carlisle texted back telling him to just let them know when he was going to head back home.
When Jasper put his phone away, they were rounding on his mates home. As he helped them unpacked he learned that they were both wizards and their world was at war. They also learned all about his past as well, he didn't want to hide anything from his mate. After finished helping, and as he said his goodbyes his mate grabbed his arm and pulled him down to sit next to him. Jasper sat down and gave his mate his full attention.
Harry took a deep breath before reaching up to his choker and untied it. Harry closed his eyes as Jasper gasped when the cut across his throat came into view. “ Is that why you haven't spoken, you can’t speak?” Jasper was horrified that something had hurt his mate this bad. Harry took out a pen and paper and wrote a shaky yes.
“What happened, are you okay?” Jasper wanted to rip any apart any person, or monster that hurt his mate.
“I'm sorry I can't. I can’t not yet.” Harry started breathing heavily, not meeting Jasper's eye. “No, No. It's okay, we just met. I only talked about my past because it's been years. You don't need to tell me everything.” Jasper said as he tried to comfort his mate. He was hurt when he felt Harry’s fear was aimed at him. It must have been very recent and very traumatic.
“ Thank you, I was afraid that because we were mates you would force me to tell you everything. So far you've been everything I could ever wish for.” Harry blushed as wrote. “You are very welcome, love. You are my mate, I want to do anything I can to make you feel safe around me.” Jasper had to swallow the venom that pooled in his mouth when he saw Harry blush. He wanted to take things slow, he was from the south so he had plans to be the perfect gentleman to Harry.
“ Thank you for helping us unpack. You go to school here, right. You're the only one I know my age or at least physically my age anyway. Will you?”
“Of course, I'll be there. My family goes through high school to keep appearances up. Even if not for appearances, I would be there for you. You can also eat with me and my family.”
“ What if they don’t like me?”
“Then you and I would get our own table to ourselves. I wouldn't leave you alone, love” Jasper smiled at Harry and was rewarded with a smile from Harry. As Jasper headed out the door, he felt a tug on his shirt. He turned as thin arms wrapped around his waist, he looked down to see Harry hugging him. Jasper quickly wrapped his arms around Harry, before Harry stepped away. Giving Harry a one last smile, Jasper left to head home. He couldn't wait to tell his family all about his mate. Jasper could already imagine their life together.
