THE MARRIED COUPLE WAITED IN A DINER, waiting for Peter and Charlotte to show, Jasper already talked to them about what time they should meet, and this was the time.

"I'm nervous. What if they don't like me?" Evangeline asks while fiddling with her gold ring, which Jasper notices that she does every time she is nervous. He placed her hand on her, assuring her she didn't have to worry.

They heard the bell ring from the diner's door, making the newcomers known.

"Whitlock!" A man shouted from behind. They turned around and saw a man with black hair and a woman beside him with a pixie cut like Alice's hair, both pairs with red eyes.

"Peter! Charlotte! Long time no see," Jasper says as he stands up from his seat, grabbing Evangeline's hand, and makes their way toward the couple.

"This is my wife Evangeline, the one I told you both about," Jasper says while putting an arm around Evangeline's waist.

"Yes! Jasper has told us stories about you. You and I will have a good time," Charlotte says while pulling her into a hug which Evangeline happily accepted.

"You were the only thing that came out of Jasper's mouth back then," Peter grinds, giving Jasper a smirk while wiggling his eyebrows.

"We have a lot of catching up to do," Peter says while sitting down at a booth.

"So tell us about yourself, Evangeline," Charlotte says with a smile.

"Well..." Evangeline tells them what she has been doing for the past century and a decade. While Jasper just watched his wife ramble happily, Peter and Charlotte noticed how Jasper adores his wife for being talkative.

Jasper received a text from Alice, and he became worried, becoming tense during the whole conversation which. Evangeline noticed, and she looked at him confused, which Jasper shrugged off, telling her silently not to worry about it.

"So shall we hunt? I'm famished," Charlotte says, looking at the married couple.

"Sure, there's a forest nearby. We'll just split ways," Evangeline says, standing up from her seat while Jasper holds her hand tightly.

When they were walking, Charlotte and Peter immediately saw their victim, a man robbing a woman.

They immediately went after him, Peter sinking his teeth in the man's neck while Charlotte placed her mouth on the man's arm.

Evangeline instantly smelled the amazing scent of blood.

Her senses took over, running towards the scent, which Jasper took action for quickly, wrapping his arms around Evangeline's waist, which the woman tried to escape his grasp. However, Jasper was much stronger than her.

"Let go of me," Evangeline growls while looking at Jasper with pitch-black eyes.

"I'm not letting you go. This is not you, Evangeline. You'll be guilty after this. Come on, and I'll lead you to the forest," Jasper tells her grabbing her wrist and speeding them over to the forest.

Evangeline caught a deer, and her bloodlust settled, looking over the river, her arms crossed, looking down the forest floor.

Jasper walked towards her, hugging her from behind and placing his chin on her shoulder.

"It's alright," Jasper tells her softly.

"I've been a vegetarian since I was turned. I should have been better than this. I should have control," Evangeline says, turning around and leaning down his chest.

"It's always hard, darlin'. It may take years, decades, or even centuries; it's in our nature to crave blood to lust for human blood. It takes time," Jasper tells her placing both of his hands on her face. Her eyes flutter shut as she felt his lips on her forehead.

"Thank you," Evangeline says. Jasper looks at her, confused.

"For what, darlin'?" Jasper asks.

"For always being by my side since we were kids," Evangeline says to him softly.

"I'll always be by your side. I'm your husband," Jasper tells her while pulling her closer to him.

"My cowboy."

"My southern belle."
