POV Jasper

I finally had her in my arms and I knew that I or 'the Major' wouldn't let her go now that we finally got a taste of her.
Her delicate hands gripped my hair and I couldn't stop a growl that slipped out easily.
I never thought that I would ever feel even a breeze of true love, but the woman in my arms proved exactly the opposite.

My eyes had darkened due to the upcoming lust inside me and I had to hold myself back from taking her here and now.
She seemed to notice my darker eyes, but didn't comment or seemed afraid, which pleased my inner beast.
Her hand slipped out of my blonde curls and gently stroked my cheek, almost making me groan and I closed my eyes to enjoy the moment.

I just couldn't suppress the purr that escaped me at her touch. She was my everything and in her presence I could finally breathe properly again.

I had waited so long for her tender touch and imagined how it would feel, but never in my life would I have expected what she would trigger within me.
I felt alive, calm and relaxed like never before. My fear for her was swept away and all I could think about was her.

Her sweet scent surrounded me completely and I wondered if it would still be the same if she became a vampire.
However, how I could tell her about my secret was not clear to me. After all, I didn't want her to run away from me in fear if I told her the truth.
I could never let go of her, not after this experience.

Her hand parted from my skin again and I looked straight into her blue eyes as I opened mine as well.
I delicately grabbed her arm and was slightly confused when I felt something under her sleeve until I remembered her bandage.
I gently pulled up her sleeve and she seemed to tense slightly.
Days had passed but she still had the bandage on her arm.
"Jasper...", she said quietly but I kept looking at her bandage and could hardly take my eyes off it.

Chaos formed in my head and I closed my eyes again so she wouldn't see how much I had to hold myself back.
My inner beast screamed again and again to take her in my claws and protect her, that this should never have happened and that I had to see how bad it really was.
But I couldn't just let the Major slip like that and take control, not when she finally trusted me.

Seraphina freed herself from my grip and I opened my eyes again, still slightly dark, but this time in anger that I hadn't protected her.
She looked at me uncertainly at first, but then her facial expression changed to a determined one.
"Jasper believe me everything is ok, that's nothing", she talked to me and I started to calm down a bit.
I looked back at her bandage and then finally let go, "will you ever show me what happened there?"

Will you ever trust me enough to do so?

She looked up at me slightly hesitant and seemed to be struggling with herself, which made me panic a little since she said it wasn't that bad.
"It's really nothing, it won't be seen anytime soon, you have to trust me on this, can you do that?", she asked me and despite her marital answer I didn't really feel any better.
Nevertheless, I nodded to her and took her gently in my arms, "ok I trust you Darlin."
I secretly inhaled her scent and tried to reassure myself that she was with me and something like that couldn't happen again now that she was here.

We parted again and she looked at me with an almost shy look.
Her gaze swept through my room again and a soft smile played on her lips as she took a better look at my many books.
"So this is your room, yes? Tell me something about yourself", she thought briefly and then looked at me with quite the interest.
I led her to my bed and she sat on it, me next to her.

Seeing her on my bed elicited another sense of rightness, and in the back of my mind the Major also agreed.
"What do you want to know?" I asked a soft smile curling my lips.
She seemed to think for a moment but quickly found a suitable question to ask me.

"Well you do have a southern accent, where are you from then?", she asked immediately and I couldn't help but grin.
I quickly noticed that she seemed to like my accent and her body reacted strongly to it. That's why her question didn't surprise me one bit.
My thoughts flitted to my place of birth, which was now completely different than when I was born there, but of course I couldn't tell her that yet.

"I was born in Texas. Houston to be precisely," I explained to her as I began to tell her a little bit about my homeland.
The whole time she was transfixed by my words and seemed to be genuinely listening, which made me feel proud and warm.
There weren't many people who ever cared about me or even thought about me in my life. However, when I looked at Seraphina in front of me, I just knew that she was exactly my salvation, my peace.

"Good night Jasper", Seraphina said to me and then disappeared into Alice's room, which I had to accept with absolute trepidation.
I wished so badly that I could hold her in my arms and let her scent envelop my room and not Alice's.
But of course it would be weird if she stayed in my room even though she had a sleepover with Alice.
After all, it was only thanks to Alice that Seraphina was at our house.

She belongs to me and in my bed!
Only I can be that close to her!

I quickly swallowed down the Major's thoughts and waited until Seraphina was asleep so I could go back and watch over her.
Every night I wrestled with myself not to go see her and to watch over her since I desperately wanted to protect her.
Especially when I found out about her injury, it hit me harder than before.
Everyone was worried that I would lose control and dart to Seraphina, but only once slipped my control.
It was too risky to visit her at night as we still haven't figured out what made the 3 newcomers so different from all the other humans.

I assured myself and especially the Major that I would have her with me soon and then nothing would separate us.
How she would cling to me and only I would take be on her mind, like I already experienced.
Her lovely scent would be constantly in my nose and finally I could protect her with my life.

Immediately I looked in the direction of my door when I heard Seraphina's soft breathing and I went to Alice's room to watch over her.
Alice nodded at me smiling and then left the room so I could be alone with her.
I quietly walked over to Alice's bed with Seraphina on one side.

Her golden locks fell softly over the pillow and I almost unconsciously brushed a stray strand of hair away from her face.
Her pink lips were parted slightly, almost called out for me to kiss her.
Her small hands had gently clawed into the blanket and she seemed relaxed, which also made me relax.

Soon you'll be mine Darlin~

POV Seraphina

I stretched comfortably and with a look at the clock I realized that it was still relatively early.
Alice's bed was extremely comfortable and after a long time I could finally sleep peaceful again.
I was surprised to find that Alice had already gotten up and was probably one of the early risers.
Quickly I put on new clothes that I had packed in my backpack yesterday and then rummaged through it to look for my smartphone, which I had almost forgotten.

Since I didn't have any missed messages, I tucked it into my jeans and started combing my hair and putting it up in a ponytail.

I also met the Cullens' parents yesterday and they gave me a warm welcome. 
A maternal love and warmth emanated from Esme that I couldn't help but like her right on the spot. Carlisle was a respected doctor who had a calm aura about him and in some ways reminded me a lot of Jasper.
If Jasper had told them about my previous behavior, you couldn't tell.

Not a second later the door opened and Alice entered the room with a big smile.
"Good morning Sera!", Alice laughed and hopped happily towards me.
"Morning Alice, why didn't you wake me up, then I would have gotten up with you", I mumbled in her direction and she just grinned at me, "you were sleeping so peacefully that I didn't want to wake you up."

It wasn't a good reason, but I just couldn't be mad at her.
"Come, your breakfast is waiting for you", she said and pulled me out of her room to drag me to the dining table.
A large selection of toppings gor my bread lined up in front of me, including juicy-looking fruit and cornflakes, but strangely enough it was only set for me.
"Aren't you eating?", I asked a little confused and she just shook her head, "we've already eaten, that's a common thing here."
"Eat early?", I asked again and she just said happily, "yes, exactly!"

I looked at her a little skeptically, then left it at that and had to think of Aaron, who also sometimes had such strange habits, "honestly, wake me up next time Alice!"

During breakfast we talked about our project that we still had to do and decided on the regency of Queen Elizabeth.
"Okay let's face it this book tells us a whole load of crap", I exclaimed after attempting to get at least some useful information about our topic.
"It's not even funny how few information there is on this topic", I went on after flicking through some more pages.
"Hmm maybe we should search online for some good sources", Alice thought and I immediately agreed with her.

We decided to start right after breakfast and talked a little more with each other.
Alice began to rave about a new clothing store, which she often did in my presence and as always I listened intently to her.
She felt a love for clothes like I'd never seen in anyone before.

Even though many people at school made fun of her, which I absolutely didn't understand, I've been in love with her outfits since day one.
When she showed me her wardrobe yesterday, my eyes almost fell out of my head.
Her wardrobe, or dare I say her second room, was filled to the brim with a wide variety of brands and styles.

Of course she laughed after she saw my astonished or even shocked face and started to pull out individual things that she thought fit me perfectly.
I would actually go as far as to say that Alice owned as much clothing as a store, if not more.
