Bella POV-

What just happened?!

My babies!

Paul!

Edward! I growled deep in my throat. Wait, growled?

I looked down at my feet, which were now apparently paws. I turned around to see Jared standing there and I whimpered. My mate.

"Go protect our family, Bella. I'll be fine with the babies. I love you." He told me confidently and I nodded. I trusted my husband to keep our children safe.

It wasn't until then that I paid attention to the voices now raging inside my head.

"He's on the reservation!" It sounded like Embry.

"I'm coming in from the left. Move him my direction." That was Jacob.

"Don't let him get close to my house!" I heard a pained voice, immediately recognizing it as being Paul. My Paul. My mate.

"Paul?" I questioned through what I guess was the pack mind.

"Bella?!" I heard a chorus of voices in my head, all confused. I started running in the direction I knew Edward was traveling in.

"We'll figure out what the hell happened later, we need to get him!" I yelled as I booked it to their location.

"The babies?" Paul asked me quickly and worriedly.

"They're here and safe with Jared." I replied, reassuring him. I could feel his immediate relief through our bond.

The trees were passing by me so fast but I could see everything in such detail, it was incredible. I couldn't focus on that though, I could smell the stench getting closer. Vampire. Threat.

He was too close to my home. My home where my other mate and children were.

I stalked into the clearing where the rest of my pack was attempting to fight off Edward but it was fruitless. He could predict their every move because of his mind reading abilities.

Paul noticed me first. I didn't know what I looked like but it seemed to stop him in his tracks. Only seconds later, Edward stopped as well, turning to look at me.

"Bella?" Edward spoke, looking at me. He had dark eyes which signaled that he hadn't fed in too long. He was weaker than normal but still dangerous.

Threat!

I looked over at my mate, my Paul, and noticed that he was bleeding from a slash mark to his side.

He hurt my mate!

"He's a threat to my family. Let's take him down!" I yelled in my thoughts. For once, I wished he could've heard me so that he could know exactly what I was thinking. I wanted him gone. Nothing but ash.

"You heard my mate. Let's roast this fucker!" Paul yelled into the pack mind, causing all of us to charge at once.

Edward was quick though. He was the fastest of the Cullens. He knew from their minds that we were coming for him and he took off.

I growled and followed at an increasing rate of speed as my pack ran next to me.

"He can't read my thoughts. I'm the only one who can come in for the surprise kill without him predicting what's coming. Distract him!" I told my pack.

I was bombarded by thoughts of me with Jared and Paul, pregnant with our children.

"You horrid creatures! Bella is MINE. Now that she's given birth to those disgusting wolf spawn, I can take her away. Somewhere that she can be free of this mind control you mutts have placed her under." Edward spat at us as we chased him.

I growled, followed by the rest of the pack. I was a wolf. I was pack.

"She was never yours, fuckward! She's mine and Jared's. She's our mate, the mother of OUR children!" Paul screamed in his thoughts, raging as he tried to snap at Edward, gnashing his teeth. But Edward was too quick. He grabbed Paul by the jaws and threw him into a tree. I felt his pain through our bond and the pack mind causing me to growl even louder.

He hurt my mate again.

I took the opportunity to make a move. I lunged forward and clamped my sharpened teeth around his marble-hard skin, tasting the disgusting sickly sweet bleach scent penetrate my senses.

I shook my head and pulled hard. The cracking sound it made was disgusting yet satisfying at the same time.

Once I threw his arm to the side, Sam was quick to take out one of his legs as Jake moved for the other. I looked up at Edwards now frightened expression as I growled deeply, baring my teeth, ready for the final blow I was preparing to deal.

"Bella's going to kill you now, leech. Say goodbye." Paul laughed into the pack mind right before I lunged at Edward's head.

My teeth pierced through his marble skull as I ripped it from his body. He wasn't alive anyways. I wasn't 'killing' him. I wasn't a murderer. I was protecting my family.

I expelled the head onto the ground while Quil and Seth took out his arms. I knew when Sam phased human immediately because I felt the shimmering in my mind. How strange.

He pulled something from a small pouch tied to his leg. I recognized it as a lighter, which he then lit and threw it down onto the pile of limbs, igniting them immediately in a blaze of bright purple with a sickly smell.

It was done.

"You did it, babe. You protected our family." Paul muttered into the pack mind.

I walked over to him, whimpering, before falling to my belly beside him. I didn't know how to phase back. I was so exhausted. My body physically felt fine, but I couldn't move.

"Are you okay, Bella?" Sam asked as he phased back in.

"Paul and I need to get home to our babies." I whispered. "I- I don't know how."

"Can you run, Paul?" Sam asked him quickly.

"If it will get me to my children, then yes. I can make it." He replied.

"Can you make it there, Bella?" Sam asked me.

"I can make it there but I don't know how to phase back." I told him, letting things fully sink in. I couldn't believe I was a wolf. How was I a wolf?!

Paul carefully stood up on his four legs, whimpering as he did so.

"The rest of you get to Paul's, make sure everyone is okay so that Bella and Paul know while we're on our way." Sam ordered them, making them run off immediately.

Paul nudged me with his muzzle. "Come on, baby. Let's go home."

I nodded to him and stood up.

We ran slower this time. Paul couldn't run fast with the damage to his torso. Sam stayed with us to make sure we could make it.

I could see through the rest of the pack's minds as they approached our house and watched as Jacob phased out, walking inside and telling Jared it was okay. It was safe.

I watched through Embry's eyes as my mate walked outside with a baby in each arm, now wrapped in blankets.

"Those are our babies, Paul." I told him, knowing he could see them too. I felt his pride immediately, as well as his sadness that he wasn't there when they were born.

We finally made it back to the house and I saw my children and mate with my own eyes. I whimpered, wanting to phase back to hold my children.

"Help me. How do I phase back?" I asked both Paul and Sam.

"You need to focus on being human, Bella. Focus on wanting to be with your children." Sam instructed me.

"Pay attention to my thoughts and feelings as I phase back, baby." Paul told me.

I did as he asked and I listened intently, hearing him focusing on home. Being home with our family, with our children, with me and Jared. I felt it too through our bond. Then I felt the shimmer of him phasing out. I watched as my mate became human again and saw the damage to his torso as he failed to stand up, Jacob and Quil catching him as he fell.

I cried out for him. I needed to be there for him, for our children. I could do this.

"That's it, Bella. You can do this." Sam told me confidently.

I focused all of myself on being human again so that I could be with my family, help my family.

It was the weirdest feeling I'd ever experience as I felt myself phasing back human. I could feel my bones realigning themselves and my body grow smaller until I was nothing but a heap on the ground.

Sam was human within moments as well.

"Sam, take him." I heard Jared say. He must've been talking about our son.

I felt my mate running up to me and leaning down over me, causing me to look up at him.

My world stopped and shifted immediately. I knew exactly what had just happened.

I imprinted.

I looked over at where Jacob and Quil were helping lift Paul to his feet and he looked over at me as well.

My entire being shifted again.

My mates had both imprinted on me and in turn, I had imprinted on both of them.

I could feel their pride at what had just happened, as well as feeling our bond strengthen tenfold.

"Come on, Bella. Let's get you inside so that you can properly meet our children." Jared told me, picking me up into his arms.

I was completely naked but I didn't care.

One thing I noticed as we walked inside was the fact that my belly was flat, toned. Definitely didn't look like I just had two babies. I then noticed that I had no pain coming from my uterus or my nether regions.

Wolf healing.

I did, however, feel the heaviness in my chest. My milk had come in and I knew that both of my children would need to be fed.

Jared sat me down in the chair and immediately draped a blanket over top of me, giving me some sort of semblance of modesty, even though they'd all seen everything.

They'd laid Paul on the couch and were showing him our babies. Embry was holding our daughter while Sam held our son.

"They're perfect." Paul said, reaching his arm our to touch our baby girl as Embry kneeled beside him to get closer. "And I think they want their mama."

Embry handed our daughter to Jared while Sam brought our son to me. Jared followed right behind him.

I finally got a good look at my children.

Jared must've cleaned them and put diapers on them because they were perfect, just as Paul had said.

I held out my arms and Sam carefully laid our son into them.

I looked at him closely. He had a small tuft of black hair and it was the strangest thing. He smelled like Jared, only slightly different. It wasn't because he'd been with Jared, it was his natural scent. I knew immediately that he was Jared's son.

"My sweet little boy, my Elijah." I whispered as I held him.

"Do you think you can hold both of them?" Jared asked me and I nodded, knowing that I could.

He carefully placed our daughter in my arms. She was smaller than her brother, but she looked very similar, although she already had more black hair. I could smell the difference immediately. She was Paul's daughter.

Both Paul and Jared must've known it too. I could see the pride on their faces.

"And you're my beautiful little girl, my Aurora." I whispered to her as well.

Aurora started crying and tilting her head toward me. I felt my milk drop and I knew it was time to feed her. Elijah was still nice and content though, so I had Jared pick him back up.

"I think that's our cue to leave. We'll have a pack meeting tonight to discuss what all happened today." Sam told us, gathering the rest of the pack to leave. "Congratulations."

After they left, I pulled down the blanket and started feeding our daughter.

"So which one came first?" Paul asked from his spot on the couch.

"Aurora." I replied, knowing that would make him happy.

"My baby girl just had to one up her brother, huh? She might've been younger in the womb but she's his older sister now." He said proudly.

"And their mama's a wolf." Jared stated. "I have to say, I didn't see that one coming."

"None of us did, but we'll figure it out."
