Hey everyone, sorry for the long wait, been so busy and have some new stories up, so hoping if you'd like you'd like a look at them as well.
Falling For A Dominant - Paul/Bella
A Glimpse of Hope - (The orginals/Vampire Diaries crossover) Hope Mikaelson and Stefan Salvatore
Fifty Shades Later - Phoebe Grey story (Fifty Shades of Grey carry on.)
Have a look if you are interested in anything else I have written.
Also, many people have asked me whether the vampires from the start of the story will come back in...well maybe they will or maybe they won't...but, I am interested in writing a story from that moment which takes a different turn if anyone is interested? Maybe Bella not coming home to the wolves but staying in Italy? What do people think?
Let me know, now...let's carry on!
BELLA'S POV
All three of them had imprinted on me. How had I not seen that earlier? I mean the way they acted. Although all three of them were completely different, we were so similar as well. They all acted the same way towards me. They all protected me, all looked at me the same way. Why was I so stupid?
The fact that Jared had told me the truth had finally made things settle in my mind, I finally understood. I got why I was feeling this pulling sensation towards all three of them, I felt like I needed all three of them and it was because I was their imprint.
"Bells?" Jared stared at me, worry obvious in his expression. That's why he had been so nervous, he wasn't sure how I was going to take the information. But honestly, I was okay. In fact, I was better than okay. This didn't mean I was an awful person at all. It meant that I was destined to be with all three of them.
"Sorry, I was...well I guess you could say I was absorbing all the information." Jared nodded in understanding. I'm glad it had been Jared that had told me, because he was the most playful of the three. It meant that this chat wasn't as serious as it could have been with the other two. "So where do we all go from here?" Jared watched me. Uncertainty crossed his features. I guess he wasn't one hundred percent sure either. I let out a deep breath and smiled.
"I'm glad you know now, it makes life a little easier for all three of us." Jared half smiled, there was still something he hadn't told me.
"What else has to happen?" I questioned him. I needed to know every little piece of information, I wasn't one to listen to half a story and be happy. Jared's eyes flickered to mine, and he lifted a hand from my lap to cup my face.
"Well..." He let out a deep breath. I turned my face into his hand and gently pressed a kiss into his palm. He needed to know I was okay, I got that. "I guess you have to choose one of us." Jared looked a little disheartened. What did he mean choose? My heart shattered. If he meant be with one and forget about the others I knew already that that couldn't happen. It would kill me, and it would kill the other two. I had known these men for a very very short amount of time but I already knew I couldn't be without them any longer.
"I can't choose any of you." I breathed. That was just a fact, I wasn't being a bitch or trying to make life difficult, I was just being honest. Jared took his hand from my face and rubbed it through his hair. This situation was going to get sticky and fast.
He wrinkled his nose as he thought about everything. It was probably the cutest thing I had ever seen anyone do. My heart melted. He was so god damn attractive.
"I don't know Bella, I mean...I guess you'll have too. If you don't our inner wolves are going to be going crazy whenever we are around you. It'll put us off our game." Put us off our game? What was that supposed to mean?
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well, we'll constantly be thinking of you. More than we already do. Constantly be needing to know if you are okay, that you are safe. Of course, we'll carry on doing that anyway, but it'll be worse if none of us have you. And then, when we are distracted that's when we aren't at our strongest and mistakes start to appear. One of us could end up getting seriously hurt...or worse." My mind was spinning. So really, it would be selfish for me not to pick out of them. God, what was I going to do?
"So basically you want me to pick one of you and be friends with the other two?" Jared looked up at me. His eyes filled with thousands of emotions. I hadn't ever seen anybody look like that.
"Yes, I guess that's what I'm saying." My head began to hurt. How was I supposed to go through with that. I was falling for them all. Yes, I was falling in different ways, but at the end of the day I was still falling.
"What if I don't pick any of you..." I guess that was also a possibility, although the thought of never being able to be with any of them, not loving any of them, or kissing any of them again killed me a little inside.
"That is also a choice I suppose..." Jared thought about it. Even the thought of it though hurt. "We'd be whatever you needed us to be." So really this was all in my hands.
I sat in silence for a good while taking everything in. Jared sat patiently next to me allowing me to think and breath, but eventually he broke the silence.
"I think it's best we get some rest Bells..." My gaze flickered to his. He was watching me intently. "I understand if you no longer want me to stay." You could see in his eyes, that was a lie. The thought of him getting up now and walking away was torturing him inside.
"I want you to stay." I comforted him. Even after everything he had told me, I didn't hate him. I wasn't angry. Confusion was really the thought that was flowing through me. Getting the iPad, Jared laid out on my bed.
"So what do you want to watch?" Everything was back to normal.
...
The next morning, I woke up as normal and stretched. I hadn't slept that well in a very long time. Even after last night's revelations I still slept better than I had done any night since being with Edward. I had had no bad dreams, I hadn't woken in the night screaming and the only reason for that was because Jared had spent the night next to me. Nothing had happened last night after we had put on the iPad. We spent the night talking, and laughing and finally we fell asleep cuddled up together.
I rolled over reaching for Jared. But when I couldn't find his presence I sat bolt upright in bed and my eyes searched the room for him. Panic shot through my veins, where was he? What was the time? Was everything okay?
My breathing became rapid and my heart beat accelerated. As if I had sent out an alarm signal, somebody came bounding up the stairs and flew into my bed room. Sam.
Scooping me into his arms, he kissed the top of my head.
"It's okay Isabella, Jared had patrol this morning." Almost instantly I calmed down. Wow, what an affect he had on me. My breathing and heart became normal again. Then I remember my conversation from the night before. Shit. Did Sam know I knew? What was I supposed to say... This was going to be more than awkward. I looked down at my legs, which were on top of Sam's. It just looked so right.
Sam just hugged me until I was calmed down and was happily settled again. It didn't take long. I needed to talk to him about the whole imprinting thing but how was I supposed to bring it up. Luckily, Sam broke the silence for me.
"Isabella, are you okay?" I took a deep breath. We needed to talk, and I guess there was no better time then this.
"Jared told me everything." This time it was Sam's turn to take a deep breath.
"I know, he told me he had." I turned to look at Sam. We still sat in each other's embrace, I wrapped my legs around his waist as we looked at each other to start our chat.
"I'm not sure where we go with this now." If this was going to work, we all needed to be honest when we talked together.
Sam watched me closely. He kept looking down between us, where we were contacted and then up at my face.
"Do you have any questions?" Sam didn't seem annoyed or upset. He just seemed liked he wanted to make sure I was okay.
"I think I asked all my questions last night to Jared to be honest. I'm just trying to get my head round everything." Sam nodded his head, at least he understood.
"We don't have to decide anything now. As long as you are comfortable that's all that matters." My heart melted. After everything, he was still only worried about me and how I felt.
I took in everything that Sam had said to me. Needing the change the subject I thought about to last night.
"I'm sorry that we didn't end up going out last night. To be honest, I sort of forgot." I sighed. It was awful of me to forget that we had arranged our first date, but I needed to apologize for it.
Sam smiled directly at me. "It's okay. Last night was a big step for all of us." I smiled back fondly at him.
"I was thinking..." I carried on. "Maybe we could rearrange tonight, if you don't have plans." Sam's smile widened. His eyes glimmered with excitement.
"I'd love that! What would you like to do?" Sam scooped up my hand in his and played with my fingers gently.
"Shall we go to a movie? That new horror movie is out, it looks quite good." Sam rolled his neck, he was obviously sore there. I took my hand from his and put both of them on either side of his neck and started to massage. He looked after me every moment he could since we had met, this turn it was my turn to look after him.
"That sounds amazing! That feels so good Isabella." Sam purred in satisfaction. I rubbed a little harder. Sam shut his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of me rubbing the knots out of his neck and shoulders. I watched him quietly. He looked so peaceful and beautiful. I really was falling in love with this man, and fast.
SAM'S POV
Isabella rubbed my neck and shoulders with enough force but not so hard that it hurt. Not that she could hurt me. I shut my eyes and rolled my head in appreciation. God, it felt so good. Slowly her hands moved from my neck to either side of my face. I didn't need to open my eyes to know she was moving her lips closer to mine, I could feel it in my stomach. For what ever reason she hesitated. I opened my eyes slowly.
"Everything okay?" I asked her. Isabella was so close I could feel her breath on my lips and cheeks. Her face was worried. There was something going on in her mind.
"Yeah, I just..." Bella took a deep breath. What the hell was going on? I was beginning to worry. I sat further up right and shifted so Bella was staring me start in my eyes. I searched her face. Her eyes were brimming with curiosity and worry. How those two emotions went together I would never know, but on Bella they looked beautiful.
"Just what?" I pressed Bella further. I knew I was starting to use my 'alpha' voice but I couldn't help it. I was in charge every day of my life, I hated the fact that she was the only person in this world that I knew I couldn't make do exactly what I wanted. I'd known the girl five minutes but she had me wrapped around her little finger.
"I want to kiss you so badly, with everything in my body..." I knew exactly what she meant. I wanted it so badly as well. I didn't speak as I wanted her to feel like she could finish her sentence without me interrupting every ten minutes. "But I know eventually I have to pick one of you and I don't know if this is right." The biggest part of me sunk inside. She knew what she was going to have to do, we all knew it. But until that moment everything was going to tell her to be with all of us. Even after she had picked the other two males were going to feel like they needed her. And her them. There was always going to be a connection between Bella and all three of us.
"Isabella." I took a deep breath. "Eventually you will pick one of us, but until that day all of us will be whatever you need us to be. Whether that's a best friend, or a brother or a lover... It's all about what you need and want. We will always be here for you. You can never get rid of us." As an alpha, although I was so in charge all the time, I hardly ever told anyone what I was honestly thinking or feeling. But with Bella, I felt like I could be completely honest. God, this imprint was really weird.
Bella watched me. She was obviously taking everything in.
"Does Paul know I know?" I sighed.
"Yes he does, him and Jared swapped shifts earlier." I chuckled quietly to myself. "He wasn't particularly happy that Jared had told you. But that's just Paul." Paul was a tough bloke, tougher than anyone else I knew. "Paul has quite a high wall up, he keeps his cards close to his chest. If it wasn't for the wolf telepathy were we hear each other's thoughts I'm sure I wouldn't know Paul half as well as I do."
Bella nodded her head. At least she was understanding everything. I was beginning to understand why Bella had been chosen for all three of us. She was caring, she was accepting, she didn't freak out when she found things out. None of this was particularly normal for any of us, yet she had taken everything in without even blinking.
"I guess I've seen that in him." Bella laughed. Oh that laugh. It was the most beautiful sound.
"Look..." I tried again. "If you don't want to kiss me until you've worked stuff out, then that's absolutely fine. I understand, but just know I'm here for you. Okay?" Bella looked into my eyes and smiled so deeply.
"Thank you." The honesty in her voice was amazing. "Do you think maybe we could all meet later?" My eyebrows creased together. What did she mean?
"Who?! I questioned her again.
"All four of us. That way we could talk everything through and find out where we go from there." I guess that was fair enough. She wanted to talk. So we'd talk.
"Yes of course, shall we do this afternoon before the movie? I could swap my patrol with one of the younger wolves." I knew that Colin or Brandy wouldn't be happy about taking my shift, but at the end of the day what I said went so they'd have to do it. I didn't normally abuse my powers as Alpha but for Bella I would have done it everyday.
"That sounds perfect thank you." Bella leaned in and kissed my cheek softly. She smelt amazing, the perfect mix between vanilla and the wild. "I need to hop in the shower." Bella said as she got up from my lap and made her way out of the bedroom. "Wait for me?"
"I'd do anything for you." I answered her. And I meant it.
