Jasper laughed hard when he heard this. "You remember how badly you were beaten the last time you joked about this."
The Cullen's looked at the scene in shock. They had a hard time believing that the person who was emitting such an intimidating pressure was now laughing and joking as if he had done no such thing.
Jasper introduced Simon, "he is Simon, my sworn brother." He then introduced the rest of the Cullens to Simon to which they awkwardly nodded back.
"So who's she?" Jasper pointed towards Jane.
"That's my mate." As soon as Simon said this Jasper felt the love Simon and Jane had for each other. Meanwhile, Carlisle was shocked as had not expected that Jane would have found a mate due to her cold personality.
Carlisle walked forward, "so why are you here?"
"Volturi business."
"When will you be finished be it?"
Simon tilted his head, "I'm already done."
Carlisle expressed his confusion, "I'm sorry but you won't try to convince us or force us to join Volturi anymore?"
"Well my job was to invite Alice and Edward, but they both refused me to I'm done."
"What about Aro? Won't he do anything to you?"
"Nope, if he wanted them to join the Volturi so badly he would've killed you first."
"If you weren't going to attack us then why did you try to intimidate us?" Emmett questioned.
"That was because at that time I was here as a guard of Volturi now as Jasper's brother."
Edward once again concentrated to try hand at reading Simon's thoughts only to fall down to the ground screaming. The Cullen's looked at him warily and gave Simon questioning looks.
"He tried to use his ability on so Jane just used her ability on him."
"Then what about Jasper? His ability is also being used?" Esme asked worried about Edward who was getting up groaning.
Simon looked a bit disgusted with how she didn't even consider the facts and tried to question his brother. "Aren't you his coven members? Don't you know his ability is passive that he can't control. Plus his ability has helped me alot. Plus she went easy on him ask Carlisle if you want."
Everyone looked at Carlisle who nodded, "if she wanted Edward would still be lying on the ground screaming."
Simon took out a wine bottle and gave it to Carlisle, "Aro send you this blood wine as a gift." He noticed the uncomfortable look he was being given and rolled his eyes, "it's vegan. He specifically got it for you. Though he does hope you'll soon go back to the natural diet."
"Thank you." Carlisle said still uncomfortable receiving something from Aro.
"You know I never thought you would become a vegetarian because of how you fed back in the days."
"Well, it just happened." Jasper said looking at Alice.
"The things you do for women." Simon shook his head.
"Have you ever tried it?" Asked Carlisle.
"I have, the Denali coven in Alaska tried to get me to convert when I came across them during my travels. Though animal blood would sustain us and keep us sane, it would not satisfy our thirst no matter how much we drink it and we'll still be drawn towards human blood so I saw no benefit."
"What about the humans being killed?"
"What about them? I've killed them as a human why would I cry over them as a vampire?"
A hint of sadness flashed through Jasper's eyes, which he covered before others could notice but Simon and Alice knew him too well. Alice just held Jasper's hand trying to comfort him as she didn't know everything that happened between them.
"Oh come on Jasp. It's not your fault. Not the army nor the conversion. I'd be long dead if it wasn't for you."
Jasper nodded and tried to shift his mind from those thoughts. "Any news regarding Peter?"
"Last I checked he was somewhere in Canada. He's living as a nomadic vampire."
"That's good."
"Well I'll be heading off don't want your coven members to become way too uncomfortable. Plus I've got a date with Jane."
Simon thought for a moment then looked at Jane, who understood what he wanted and shrugged.
"You wanna go on a double date."
