Destiny, Whether You Like It Or Not

Chapter 08:

BPOV

We left New York a week ago and have been running all over the country. Like real nomads we have been literally running. It has been a blast. I tried to get Garrett and I matching jogging outfits but he refuses. And then he wonders why I won’t marry him. He has asked me over and over again. You would think the man would be tired of being told no but I guess not. Tied by destiny or fate or whatever isn’t enough for him. Oh no. He wants me to be Mrs. Jones.

We were entering into San Antonio Texas at sundown. I followed him to a ranch outside of the city. We were meeting Peter and Charlotte Whitlock. I had heard Victoria mention them before but did not know a lot about them. Garrett had known them for a while. Since the Civil War apparently. Peter called Garrett and told him of rising crime statistics in San Antonio caused by warring cartels. Peter and Charlotte preferred to perform a public service when they eat, as do Garrett and I so we thought we would hang for a few days. I wouldn’t mind meeting another female vampire to bitch about my mate too.

Garrett began walking towards the house and I was following. It happened quickly. A vampire moved out of the tree line right for Garrett. I threw up a shield around the two of us and the vampire hit a proverbial brick wall. I growled ready to defend myself and my mate.

“Damn Garrett. You got you a fucking shield? Nice.”

I watched him rise. He had a goofy grin on his face. Kinda attractive in that good old country boy way. Sort of reminded me of a country singer. I heard a laugh from behind and turned ready to defend myself from another attack until I saw her. Damn she was hot. Garrett placed his hand on my shoulder and whispered it was okay.

“Peter you fucking idiot. My mate is only a little over a year old. You should know better than to pull that.”

“Sorry Gar.”

“Bella, this is Peter and the lovely lady here behind us is Charlotte.”

“Hi Charlotte.”

“Nice to meet you Bella.” She told me with a wink. Oh yeah. She definitely switch hit for both teams. This has potential.

“Nice to meet you Bella.”

“Hmm? Oh yeah you too Pete. Charlotte why don’t we go inside and get to know each other? Maybe you could show me around?”

“I’d love to darlin. After you. I love those jeans by the way.”

“Thank you. Maybe we could compare lingerie later.” I told her giving her a wink.

I looked at Garrett. “You boys have fun catching up and don’t go far. I don’t want my chest to hurt. And uh, take your time.”

“Did that just happen?”

“You mean your mate took one look at mine and they decided they were going to do the horizontal mambo or whatever it is ladies do to each other? Yep that just happened.” Peter said with a big smile.

“This doesn’t bother you?”

“Nah I got cameras all over the house. I can watch it later.”

“I mean them having sex. Bella knows it will hurt her.”

“Actually that’s not true. It only hurts for your mate to go to someone who is a threat. Girl on girl action doesn’t count apparently.”

“How the hell do you know this?” I had to ask.

“Char and I had a threesome with Maggie. You know Maggie? From Ireland?”

“The redhead with the huge…?”

“Yep.” He said with a grin.

“You lucky bastard. Well keep your filthy paws off MY mate you understand?”

“No worries from me poncho. Now I can’t speak for Char.”

“Actually that idea doesn’t bother me. It would be fun to watch. You think they would let us watch?” This had potential.

“One way to find out. But first we got some talking to do. Something big is coming down.”

“What do you mean? Big good or big bad?”

“Big bad.”

I sighed. “It usually is, right?”

“I don’t know what it is right now but I know you and your mate and me and mine will be front and center of it. Especially your mate.”

“My Bella? I’ll be damned if she is getting front and center of anything that she isn’t leaning into with me behind her.”

“Garrett you know, I know shit. And I know this. Something is coming soon that is going to involve that little lady who at the moment is trying to charm my wife out of her panties. So tell me about her.”

I told Peter everything. From Alistair finding her to changing her to her past with the Cullens.

“Holy shit. That’s the little lady all the Cullens are torn up about? You know Jasper called me last night and told me after the wedding Alice and him are moving and were going to come down here for a time.”

“Yes, Carlisle told me there was a lot of disharmony in the family.”

“Garrett you got to tell them. Jasper is going to kill me now if he finds out that I knew and didn’t tell him.”

“And I will kill you if you do Peter.”

“Garrett you are kinda putting me in a bad position here.”

“I didn’t put you anywhere. You asked. Now you can just forget I told you. She doesn’t want them to know then they don’t know.” This was not up for debate.

He sighed and shook his head in agreement. “So how long can ya’ll stay? I’ve missed you and want to get to know the infamous Bella Swan.”

“We have all the time in the world. Besides if something is coming it might be best to stay close for a while.” We walked into Peter’s house and I was somehow not surprised to see Bella and Charlotte with their tongues in each other’s mouths and their hands all over each other. Bella looked up at me and smiled.

“Guess what sweetie?”

“What darling?”

“It doesn’t hurt if she touches my boobs. You two want to come watch or are you going to give us privacy?”

I looked at Peter who looked like he had just won a prize. “I don’t know about your mate Ms. Swan but I ain’t going a goddam place except to the recliner so I can sit back and enjoy the view.”

I looked Bella in the eyes. She had to know what was acceptable here. And if it was anybody’s job to make it clear to her, it was mine. She raised an eyebrow towards me, while her tongue licked up Charlotte’s neck making her moan.

“Bella, listen to me, because I am only going to say this once. I am going to sit in that chair across from Peter if you need me for anything.” What can I say? She needs to know I am a supportive mate in any situation.

BPOV

Boys are so stupid.

“Garrett I need you to tell me what you want me to do to Charlotte.”

Charlotte was on her back and I kissed her deeply. She really did taste good. She opened her eyes and winked at me.

“Uh baby, I’ve never really been in this situation…”

“Do you want me to put her nipple in my mouth and nibble on it?”

“Yes…” he whispered. Peter looked like he was about to start drooling. An impressive feat for a cool vampire.

“Garrett,” I whispered in the huskiest voice I could speak. “Would you like me to finger her? Would you like me to eat Charlotte’s pussy?”

“Oh God yes, Bella.”

“Then I need you to do something for me.”

“Anything angel.”

“I need you to suck Peter’s dick.”

“Uh say what?”

“I didn’t quite catch that Little Bit. What was that you said?” Peter asked. I noticed his impressive bulge in his jeans was gone.

“I need you two to go down on each other. It’s only fair if you are going to get a show, Charlotte and I should as well.”

“Uh Bella, that’s not going to happen.” Garrett said, the look of shock still evident on his face.

I sat up and pulled Char up with me.

“So let me get this straight. You want the two of us to put on a live sex show for you two but it’s not okay for us to expect you to do the same.”

“Well…”

“Garrett, I’m disappointed in you. I thought you would be more possessive than this. Am I just some whore for you to let your friends get a cheap thrill out of?”

“But you like girls. You told me you did. I was just trying to make you happy.”

“And you would have been okay with Peter seeing me naked?”

“God no! I mean…”

“So you wanted to see Charlotte naked?” This was so much fun. Charlotte had a huge grin on her face.

“Yes, no, I mean if you were going to… I didn’t, you don’t understand. What I mean is…”

“Garrett? Shut up.” I walked over and sat in his lap and gave him a deep kiss.

“Maybe we will give you a show one day baby, but I think we should get to know each other a little better first don’t you?”

“Yes Bella, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to insinuate…”

“It’s okay baby. You’re a man. I was just fucking with you. Now what do you say we go hunt? Kissing Char has got me hungry.”

Peter was still giving me a dirty look. Bella and Char were still laughing when we entered the city.

I swear my mate is evil. I have never had a hard on shrink so fast. My balls still don’t understand what the hell happened. We got to the Riverwalk and began strolling. Bella had never been of course and wanted to see the sites before dinner. She was walking in front of Peter and I holding Charlottes hand. The two of them were getting quite a few stares and it wasn’t hard to see why. They were both dressed in short leather skirts and tight blouse low cut to show off their cleavage. I wanted to eat every man who looked at my Mate with lust but that would have caused a scene.

“Your mate is evil Garrett.”

“I know Peter.” I sighed as he reminded me for the tenth time tonight. We came to the San Antonio Mall. My things have changed. We walked up the side and there it was. The Alamo.

Bella let out a breath.

“Wow. So this is the famous Alamo.”

“What’s left of it. Before the battle it was even more impressive.”

She turned to me with a look of shock.

“You were here?”

“Yes.” I told her thinking back. “I stayed around Texas back then. After the Revolution I had sympathy for any revolutionary cause where fighters were looking for freedom. I couldn’t stay with them or join them. They would have known I was wrong. There were no contacts back in the day. I thought I could help out. Thin down the Mexican Army some to give them a fighting chance. I hid in the tree lines and watched. When the Army showed up I couldn’t believe the number of soldiers. I figured the defenders would surrender. David Crockett, a respected stateman from the United States was inside. There was no way Santa Ana would kill him. I was wrong. The Mexican Army surrounded the place. I kept waiting for Sam Houston or Fannin to arrive with reinforcements. But even if they had, they did not have the numbers to defeat Santa Ana. It would have been the end of the revolution. I couldn’t kill the Mexican soldiers. They were in the open. Crockett burned down the ramshackle shacks in front of the Mission. I had no place to even hide if I got involved. I stayed around looking for my chance. But there were over 2000 soldiers. The morning of the raid, I figured it would be a massacre. But the defenders fought valiantly. They fought like gods. They fought to the last man. David Crockett was the last. He was surrounded on all sides. His comrades dead. He was told to surrender. He refused. They shot him at point blank range. I nearly screamed. I have never felt as helpless as a vampire, as I did watching that battle. I am glad I don’t sleep. I would still have nightmares.”

“Garrett I’m so sorry you had to see that.” Bella said, taking my hand.

“They piled the bodies up over there.” I told her pointing to the south end of the mall. They burned them all. Nobody ever knew where the bodies were burned. Archeologists still look around the area. I hope they never find them. Those men deserve to rest without disturbance. All the soldiers on both sides that day deserve their rest.”

“You know they say that mall is haunted.” Peter said.

“It is. See on the other side where the David Crockett Hotel is? That is on the spot Crockett was shot. Travis was killed early in the battle on the north wall. He was shot in the head.”

“Let’s go baby. I’m hungry.” Bella whispered.

“Yes, let’s get out of here. Leave the dead to their rest.”

BPOV

Tonight was an eye opening experience. Garrett was so much fun I forget sometimes that he is a warrior. He has been in battle, as a human and a vampire. He has seen things I couldn’t imagine. War, tragedy. I wanted to take him back to Peter and Char’s and make love to him all night and all day long to try to help him forget for a little while. But we had business first.

“So where are we going?”

“There is a coyote in the warehouse district. He is bringing in women from Mexico. They think they are coming here for a new life. Instead the coyote is selling them to local pimps and the San Antonio Mob they work for. The mob gets them addicted to drugs and uses them as prostitutes. Without their consent of course. Some women who prove particularly defiant are simply shot and dumped in a land fill outside of the city. Police can’t get anyone in close enough to stop them. That’s where we come in. A delivery came in tonight. We are going to the warehouse and putting an end to this coyote and any others with him. Unfortunately the police will most likely send the women back to Mexico so we will drain the bodies, release the women and burn the warehouse down. It is the best we can do for them.”

“Let’s do this.” Garrett growled.

We walked into the warehouse. Actually Peter kicked the door in. Six people turned to us. A group of women were being led into a back room in chains. The bad guys, 5 men and 1 woman began shouting at us. They all pulled guns and froze. Peter and Garrett stood in front of Char and I. We walked up to either side of them and stood by our mates.

“Ola, Amigos. What are you waiting for? Shoot already.” Peter said grinning.

The 6 opened fire. I did a matrix thing and dodged the bullets. I really didn’t have to but I didn’t want my skirt messed up with bullet holes. I like this skirt.

We stood there until they were finished. I guess they were out of ammo. Peter looked at Charlotte.

“Baby doll you want to go get the guy holding the lovely ladies prisoner?”

“Sounds tasty. Save a little for me here as well though. He looked kind of small.”

Char took off and Peter, Garrett and I smiled at the men and woman staring at us in disbelief. The Spanish woman whispered “El Diablo.” I rushed her.

“I get called that often. Can you explain to me why you enslave women against their will and call me the devil?”

I didn’t give her a chance to answer. I sunk my teeth in her. I was angry and I sucked her dry in seconds. I broke her neck for good measure. Peter was on his second one. Garrett was still on his first. I looked at a very scary looking man wearing many gold chains. I grabbed the chains and ripped them off his head. I wonder how many women he had to sell to afford these. He got on his knees and begged me not to kill him.

“How many women have begged you compadre?”

“Please. Don’t.”

“Too late for begging. You get off on whoring out women? You like to be the big man? Keep those women, those girls in chains? You think that makes you something? Think of me as every woman you have ever hurt you son of a bitch. The time for reckoning has come.” I bit him on the shoulder. I bit him on his arm. He was in pain. My venom was burning him. I felt Garrett’s hand on my shoulder.

“Bella this is not who you are. Finish him.”

Garrett was right. Torturing him was wrong. No matter how much he deserved it. I bit down on his neck and drained him. I looked up and saw Charlotte had made it back and was finishing the last one.

“The girls are out and safe. There were twenty of them. The oldest one couldn’t be 19. I gave them each a thousand bucks and sent them on their way. They didn’t see anything. We are good. Let’s burn this place down.” Peter said.

We got back to the house at dawn. I dragged Garrett into the guest room.

“Thank you for pulling me back. I could have lost myself in there.”

“I’ll never let you lose yourself love. Never.”

I got on my knees and pulled his beautiful cock into my mouth. It was going to be a long and fun day. I heard Char in the next room. Sounds like it is going to be a long and fun day for both of us.

Alice POV

I can’t believe Edward is going through with this wedding. I am beginning to think Rose and Emmett are leaving afterward as well. Edward agreed to try to have sex with Hannah before she was changed, at her insistence. Rose was furious when she overheard. I can’t see Hannah’s future past the wedding. But I don’t need my powers to know something bad is going to come from this.
