Chapter 14

Jacob POV

I had avoided breaking the treaty this morning. I needed to focus. I was exhausted. I stopped at my fathers first. I needed to blow some steam and Embry had me thinking about a second imprinting.

I walked into the house to see my father sitting at the table with another elder. I sat down and bluntly asked him if it could be possible. I knew I was interrupting but I had to know.

"Could it be possible to imprint twice?"

My father didn't answer but the elder did. "There has been one other who has imprinted twice." He didn't leave room for more of an answer.

"What happened? What did he do?" I needed to know.

"He had to choose." Again with the short answers. Why was he not elaborating? Did he not see the urgency I needed the information?

My father decided it was time to speak up. "Son you have to do what is in your heart. Then you will make the right decision."

"Argh. I had a feeling you would say that." I grumbled and walked out. Why do the elders have to be so mysterious with everything? They never elaborate. I grumbled all the way home trying to decide what I wanted. I couldn't choose. I had one but I wanted the other.

Lisa was home when I walked in our door. She handed me a cup of coffee and sat me down. I hadn't been home in two days and only called her the once to say I was going to Bella's to talk to her.

"What did Bella say?" She asked me not knowing what had happened.

"She is marrying the bloodsucker." She knew everything about my life. She understood about the vampires and the wolves. She was a wolf girl now. I took her up into my arms and hugged her. Feeling her warm body against mine made my heart jump. I had to tell her everything. She had to know I imprinted again. It was going to break her heart.

"What is wrong with her marrying him? It's not like your still in love with her. You imprinted on me."

"I do still love her Lisa. I always will. Just like I will always love you. Something else happened."

Her face fell. This was going to be harder than I thought. "What happened Jake?"

"I just came from seeing my father and one of the elders. They said it has happened before. Only once before." I was starting to sound like them. Dancing around the subject. I couldn't keep doing this. She was going to ask. And I can't lie to her.

"Spit it out Jake. You're worrying me. I love you no matter what. You know that right?"

Ok here it comes. You won't like this Lisa. I'm sorry. "I imprinted again."

Her head snapped up to stare at me. "What did you say?"

I'm sorry Lisa. I'm so sorry. I wish I could change this. "I imprinted again." I didn't want to say it anymore. I'm sorry, so sorry. This was going to hurt her. I didn't want that.

"I heard you Jake. How could you imprint again?" Her voice was cracking. "With who?" She finally asked.

"I…" I didn't want to break her heart by doing this. I was in love with her and Bella. But right now I loved Bella more. I needed to save her. I needed to be with Bella. I wanted Bella.

"Tell me Jake." Her voice was rising. "Who?"

"Bella." I said with out looking at her. I couldn't believe how easy that came out. It should have been harder. I looked up at her. Her face had fallen. She was upset and mad. She wanted to say something but stopped her mouth closing to a frown. I'm sorry Lisa. I am so sorry I did this. I knew I shouldn't have said anything yet till I knew more.

"I knew you loved her." She said quietly. She was trying to stay in control. "Why now? Why did you imprint on me then if you did it on her too." Her voice was cracking more as she continued.

"I don't know Lisa." She and I always used a pet name here and there when we talked but that was not an option right now. I didn't want to upset her or make her angry.

"What do you know Jake?" She asked her voice rising a little more.

"I know that I love you and I always will. I love Bella too. I just imprinted on her. I can't help it. I don't know the ways of imprinting. It was the same way with you. I just imprinted."

"Are you going to tell her?" She asked quietly. I knew she didn't really want the answer.

Was I going to tell Bella? I'd have to get close to her and right now that was not an option. She was living in a house of Vampires right now. I would have to get her out before something happened.

"No, not right now."

"Why not Jake? She has a right to know. She was your first love." Lisa said quietly again. She was on the verge of tears. I could see them brimming on the bottom lid of her eyes.

"Because yesterday I did something to her that I am not proud of." I'd hurt her. Something I never wanted to do in a million years.

Lisa gasped and opened her mouth to talk. But a few moments later she closed her mouth with an audible pop. I knew what she was going to ask so I just answered the non-existent question.

"I found out she was going to marry the bloodsucker and her father didn't know yet. I kind of let it out of the bag. I held on to her wrist a little too tightly. He had to come in and save her. She is quite mad at me." I paused to see her reaction. So far, so good. She hadn't spilled any tears and her face was still just crestfallen so I continued. "Her father disowned her. She is now living within a house of bloodsuckers." I needed to get Bella out soon.

"Oh."

I sat there starring at her. She was holding in her emotions. This couldn't be good. She had to let it out. If she bottled it up it would destroy her.

"Lisa?" I asked probing her to let something out.

"Jake. I'm just thinking. I still love you and I am going to fight to be the only one in your life. I know it is going to be hard because Bella is your first love. But I have to ask. Do you want me still? Do you want me here?"

How could she ask that? Of course I did. I still love you. "I do want you Lisa. I love you."

"Then forget about the second imprint. She is marrying someone else. It is not like you can marry us both." Ok she did have a point there. I did still love her. I still wanted her. I wanted to be here with her. The only problem I had was that I wanted Bella now too. Why oh why did I have to imprint twice. I need to see Bella. I need to find her. I need to know she knows. I need to convince her that marrying the bloodsucker is wrong. I also need to stay here with Lisa. She is my wife. She is… She just is to me. She puts up with a lot for me.

"Jake? Are you staying with me tonight?"

"Do you want me too?" I asked. I didn't really want the answer but I was going to take what I could get if I could stay with her.

"I love you Jake. Of course I want you to stay with me. It's not like you slept with her."

She had no idea that I had slept with Bella seven years ago. I never told her that. I had kept my mouth shut just like Bella had asked me too. I wasn't about to break my word now.

"Then I will stay. I will get Embry to take my patrol shift tonight."

"Okay. I will go make some dinner." I knew she was going to hide in the kitchen to cry. That is the same thing Bella would do when she got upset at me years ago.

Since I was staying here I sat back in the chair and took my shoes off. I wanted nothing else to happen tonight. I had just broken my wife's heart, ruined my first love's relationship with her father and nearly broke the age-old treaty in a matter of 24 hours. I had to get my shit together and focus. That wasn't going to be an easy task. I wanted to find out more on second imprinting. I had to see all the elders. They would tell me if I had to pry it out of their minds. I had to for Lisa's sake and for Bella's.

I must have sat in the chair for a good half hour just repeating the word focus. Lisa had called me for dinner and I sat at the dinner table repeating the same word. I was right when I thought she would cry in the kitchen. All through dinner she was quiet and her face was tear stained. I didn't want to do this to her. I smiled at her, hoping that would assure her for the moment. If she knew my thoughts right now she would probably walk right out the door. It felt like I had two hearts. One was Lisa's and the other was Bella's

I pushed back from the table and grumbled to myself. Lisa didn't say anything she just looked at me. She was beautiful just sitting there. She had loose hairs framing her face. Stupid heart, make up your mind already. I yelled within myself. I watched Lisa as she watched me. I didn't want to hurt her. I still loved her and always will. What was I going to do now?
