Chapter 1-Emmett's POV
After yet another argument with Rosalie, I go into the living room and start playing Call of Duty Black Ops 2. As I'm playing, Paul comes and sits next to me.
"You ok Bro?" He asks.
"Nah Paul, I'm not." I admitted. "I'm tired of her shit. It's just too fucking hard to make that woman happy."
"Maybe, you guys aren't meant to be together forever." Paul not-so-subtly suggested with a shrug.
I pause the game to look at Paul. "I don't know man, are you trying to come on to me? I don't think Edward's going to like that." I jokes half-heartedly, nudged Paul's shoulder in jest. " He looks at me for a second and then we both start cracking up.
"Not gonna happen, Em! I love Ed; It'll always be him."
I slap him on the back, "I know lil bro; I was just fucking with you." I resume the game and we sit in comfortable silence. I thought it was comfortable until I noticed Paul's heart beating faster and his pulse quickening. I pause the game again and turned my body so we were face to face. "Paul, what's wrong?" I asked him concerned. "Lil bro I know you hate to be separated from Edward, but he'll be back in an hour." I reminded the werewolf.
"It's not Edward, Em. I do miss him but I know he's coming back home to me." Paul insisted. "Besides, I know he misses he spending time with you guys."
"Paul, he's spent a 109 years with us so I think he's fine in that department." I assured him with a friendly chuckle. He laughs nervously in response. "Come on, Paul what's eating you?" I persisted. "I really don't need Eddie to come home and try to kill me because he thinks I did something to you." Paul looked at me for a second before he spoke again.
"What if I told you that there's somebody out there for you?Emmett somebody who will make you as happy as Edward makes me?" Paul answered my question with two more.
"I'd say I've heard this speech a hundred times when I was a human Paul, and that I don't really need to hear it again." I informed him with a sigh. I've had this conversation with too many people throughout my life.
"I'm being serious Em. I know this person and I also know that this person has been in love with you for 2 months." I sat waiting for him to continue but he just stared at me.
"Are you going to tell me or kill me with the suspense Paul?" I asked him with a raised eyebrow.
"Jacobimprintedonyouthesameda ythatiimprintedonEdward" He said so fast that not even my vampire hearing could decipher the words.
"Could you say that one more time but in English Paul?" I encouraged.
Paul stands up and puts his hands up as if he's trying to keep me calm. "Please don't hate me or this person. Promise me you won't be mad Em." He pleads me.
"I promise Paul and I could never hate you lil bro." I assured my brothers mate.
Paul took a deep breath to prepare himself before finally telling me what I wanted to know. "Remember the day that I imprinted on Edward?" He began.
"Yeah, what about it?" I prompted.
"Jacob imprinted on you that day too…like 10 minutes later but he kept it hidden." I looked at him for five minutes. Just stared; Became a statue. "Emmett are you ok?" Paul Eventually asked. "I know I should've never told you." He muttered.
That "woke" me up. "No, Paul I'm glad you told me." I insisted, still slightly in shock.
"You aren't mad at me?" The werewolf asked in disbelief.
"No Paul, I'm not mad at you."I assured him. "I made you a promise and I kept it. You can sit back down Paul."
He sits down next to me. "So, why hasn't Jacob told me yet?" I queried.
"Umm," he hesitated. "Sam made him not to tell you and ordered him to stay away from you." At that, I exploded.
"What the fuck do you mean he was ordered to stay away from me?! My mate- yes Paul, I accept him as my mate, has been suffering for 2 months because of that dick? Who the fuck does Sam think he is? I'm going to kill that son of a bitch!" I took a deep breath to calm myself down. "Paul why didn't you tell me sooner?" I demanded of the man I considered a brother.
"I wanted to Emmett, believe I did but Jake begged me not to. He was afraid of you rejecting him." Paul started crying, "I'm so sorry Em. I should've told you. I should've stood up against Sam but I was afraid that Sam would keep me from Edward. What kind of person am I? I let my pack brother suffer for 2 months without his imprint." I pulled the sobbing boy into my arms.
"Shhh Paul, it's ok, you were just protecting your mate. That doesn't make you a bad person at all. We'll fix this ok lil bro. Everything will be fine." I promise him.
Edward comes flying through the door in that moment. "Baby what's wrong?" Edward asks Paul gently. Paul launches himself at Edward, who sits down on the couch, wrapping his arms around his mate. Edward looks at me, "Em what happened?" He demanded and I replay the conversation in my head. Looking at Ed's face was like watching a movie. Different emotions were fleeting across his face. He finally settles with sympathy as he looks at me with concern. "I'm sorry Em, I didn't know about Jake." My brother vowed.
"It's cool bro," I shrug it off. "I'm going to fix this after I snap Sam's fucking neck. Paul, can you do me a favor?"
He looks at me from his place on Edward's lap. "Sure Em what's up?"
"Call Jake and tell him to come over. Say that you and Edward have something important to tell him. Don't mention me because he might not want to come and I don't want him to let it slip in case Sam's phased." Paul's face lights up like Christmas lights. Edward and I laugh at his expression.
"That's a great idea Emmett." Paul agreed enthusiastically. "Em, why are you so accepting of the imprint?" He asked me curiously.
"There's nothing that could change it. It wasn't Jake's choice either. Besides, I always liked him, he was always up for a round of wrestling. Also, why fight destiny? We're meant to be together." Paul smiles at me.
"Thanks Em, you're the best!" He grins happily at me.
"What about me Paul, I'm not the best?" Edward asks his mate with a fake pout on his face.
"Nope! You're mine and that's all that counts." Edward looks at him and then Paul's favorite smile spreads across Edward's face.
You could see the pure love and happiness in Edward's eyes. "I'm yours and your mine Pup; Forever and always." Paul kisses him and then lays his head on Edward's shoulder.
Paul calls Jacob, tells me that he's on his way. After 2 months, I finally get to be with my mate.
Jake's POV
It's been two months since I imprinted on Emmett. It hurts so much to be away from him. All I want to do is race over to the Cullen mansion and beg Emmett to be with me. Funny, me begging a vampire, but I would do it without a second thought.
As I'm thinking about him, my phone rings. "Hello?" I answer it.
"Hey Jake what's up?" I hear the voice of my pack-brother Paul ask me.
"Nothing much," I tell him. "Just walking around."
"Well, how quick can you get here because Edward and I have something to tell you?" I can feel my excitement surging through me at the thought of seeing my imprint. "Jake, he's not here, I'm sorry." And just like that, I deflate.
"It's cool Paul. See you in 5 minutes." I phased and ran to the mansion without a second hesitation.
As I phased back and put my shorts on, his scent assaulted my nose. He smells like vanilla and oats. I don't know how or why, but he just does.
Paul opens the door, wearing a big ass smile. "Hey Jake, you made it." As soon as entered the house, I stopped dead in my tracks. There, sitting on the couch looking like my own personal Greek god, was Emmett Cullen and he was smiling at me.
I turned and glared at Paul who just shrugged innocently. "Well, I'm going to hang out with Edward." He announces. Paul then whispers in my ear; "He knows Jake and he wants to try. In fact it was his idea to invite you so you can talk." Then he's gone, to find Edward I guess.
Emmett gets up and walks towards me until were 2 feet apart. "Hey Jake," Emmett greets me, and his voice is like pure honey dripping; So sexy.
"Hey Emmett, how's it going?" I ask him in response.
"Good." The god before me shrugs. "Come sit with me Jake, I want to talk to you about something." As were walking to the living room, he takes my hand in his, entwining our fingers. I don't know when I turned into such a fucking girl, but inside I was squealing and jumping around.
He smiles at as we sit down. "Jake, I know about the imprint and I accept it. I know you will be whatever I want so right now I want a mate. There's no point in trying to deny this connection we have or try and argue with fate. If we weren't meant to be together, you wouldn't have imprinted on me. So I want you Jake, in every sense of the word. We can take things slow if that's what you want but please don't deny me you." I cock my head to the side in confusion.
"What do you mean Emmett?" I asked my imprint in disbelief.
Before I could blink, he put me on his lap, making me gasp and blush like a high school girl. Emmett smiled at me gently before taking my face in his hands. "Don't try and deny this. Please don't fight this Jake." He brushes his thumb across my cheek. "If you give me a chance, I promise I will do whatever it takes to make you happy Pup. I will spend every day of forever making you happy."
"You promise Emmett?" I whispered. I didn't want to get my hopes up for nothing.
Emmett looks me deep in my eyes, as if he's trying to see my soul. "I promise Jake." He tells me genuinely. We stare at each other for another minute and then he leans closer to me. I automatically do the same and I swear I felt the world stop as our lips met. He gently moves his lips with mine and I've died and gone to heaven.
As were kissing, I began to feel light-headed from the lack of oxygen and he pulled back. My imprint smiles at me and all I see in his eyes is happiness and joy. "Sorry, Pup," he apologizes, "I forget you need to breathe." He kisses my forehead and then I place my head on his chest.
"Thanks Emmett," I whisper.
Emmett chuckles; "No, thank you Jake. Thank you for giving me this chance. I'm glad you imprinted on me."
"Really?" I ask, a little taken back by the confession.
"Yeah, because now I get to spend forever with my soul mate and there's nothing better than that." He tells me,causing me to smile in response.
As I was gowing extremely comfortable in his ice-cold embrace, my stomach decides that our talk was over. Emmett laughs, a deep throaty laugh which effected me more than I would have expected. "My Pup's hungry huh?"
I nod and he stands up with me still in his arms. "Em," I mumbled.
"Hmm?" The vampire enquired.
"I can walk perfectly fine you know." I reminded him.
"I know but I like holding you, is that a crime he asks.
"No." I giggled.
"Good." We entered the kitchen and Emmett sits down on one of the chairs. He turns me around so my back is against his back. "Esme made you a plate of food so enjoy Pup."
Five minutes later, my plate is clear. "Damn, Pup, what you weren't eating at home or something." Emmett says jokingly.
I know it was meant to be a joke but I answered him honestly. "No, I wasn't eating. I didn't really have an appetite these past 2 months." I whispered. He turns me around again so were face to face.
Concern and sadness is written all over his face. He caresses my face and says "Well, you won't have to worry about that anymore Puppy. I'll keep you fed baby." He assures me. That's when I start crying.
