This story will be in Bella POV, Paul POV, and Jared POV and will switch back and forth between the three.

This will be a poly Jared/Bella/Paul story. NO SLASH!

Bella POV-

I walked out of Jake's house toward the group of four shirtless boys standing at the edge of the woods. I knew what they were now.

"What did you do? What did you do to him?!" I yelled as I approached Sam, pushing him backwards even though he felt like a brick wall.

The one standing next to Sam spoke up. "What did we do? What did we do? What did he tell you?!"

Still looking at his chest which was a bit distracting, I responded. "Nothing! He tells me nothing because he's scared of you!"

They all started laughing and I finally looked up at his face. Just as my hand was swinging toward his cheek, my eyes connected with his and I felt this instant force field connection between the two of us right before my hand hit his face. I saw snippets of visions pass before my eyes in a split second and then my sight came back to me.

I could see him shaking and start breathing hard, staring right at me.

"Paul, calm down." Sam said to the boy beside him. Paul. "Bella, stand back." Sam ordered and for some reason I felt compelled to listen as I automatically stepped backwards.

The boy I'd hit turned into a giant silver wolf right in front of my eyes but I wasn't afraid of him. I almost began reaching for him when I heard Jacob running behind me.

"Bella, move now." Sam commanded and again, I did as he said without a second thought. I moved out of the way and watched as Jacob turned into a wolf in mid-air.

The two wolves began fighting immediately and my concern was for the silver wolf who I was so suddenly intrigued by.

"Get Bella over to Emily's." Sam told the other two. Embry came over to me and held out his hand to help me.

As soon as I was on my feet, I looked at the other one who had stayed behind with Embry to take me to Emily's house. His eyes met mine and the same exact connection snapped into place with different, yet the same snippets of visions pass in front of my sight for a split second.

When my field of vision came back to me, he was looking at me with clear surprise.

"You okay, Jared?" Embry asked him. Jared.

He swallowed nervously and reluctantly pulled his gaze from mine. "I need to talk to Sam when we get back." He told Embry causing him to look back and forth between the two of us.

"Did you just—"

"Yes, now let's go." Jared said to him. What just happened? And why did it happen between both Jared and Paul. For some reason unknown to me, I knew exactly where Paul was in the forest at that very second. I wanted answers. "I'm driving." Jared said as we reached the truck.

He drove with me in the passenger seat and Embry standing in the back all the way to a secluded but beautiful house in the woods. He put the truck in park and opened the door to hop out.

I opened the door and climbed out the other side, looking at him. "Is Paul going to be okay?" I asked. Embry's eyebrows rose as he looked between me and Jared.

"I hope Paul sinks some teeth into Jake. He'll be fine." Jared told me, motioning for me to come inside with them.

"Oh and by the way, don't stare at Emily, it bugs Sam." Embry told me as I followed them inside. Why would I stare?

As I walked in and looked at her, I knew why he'd said that. She had scars running down the length of her face, but I didn't see just the scars. I thought she was beautiful despite them.

"Who's this?" Emily asked.

"Bella Swan." Jared replied for me, looking at Emily with an unreadable expression. Emily's eyes widened and she looked back over at me with a kind smile.

"Nice to meet you, Bella. I'm Emily, Sam's—" Jared shook his head at her subtly, but enough that I noticed. "Fiancée."

"Nice to meet you too, Emily." I replied to her with a smile.

Paul POV-

"Jared just imprinted on my goddamn imprint, Sam, how the fuck is that even possible?!" I asked in the pack mind after Jake phased out.

"I don't know. We'll have to talk to him though. I need to see if both of your bonds are the same." Sam told me and I growled. I didn't even want the fucking imprint to begin with, let alone with a – I couldn't even insult her. I didn't want to. Yes I did. No I don't.

We both phased back when we got to Emily's. I already knew Bella was there inside.

Bella POV-

I could feel Paul getting closer in the forest and it was making me seriously question my sanity. I could even clearly feel two different emotions that were distinctly not mine. Anger and worry.

Why was I feeling this strange unexplained connection all of a sudden, and why was it between myself and two of them? Obviously at least Jared knew what was happening, so why wasn't he telling me? Why did he say he needed to talk to Sam?

I subconsciously began to watch out the doorway. Sam came in first. Alpha. My brain knew right away and with no question. Was I somehow now part of their pack?

"I need to talk to you, Sam." Jared said motioning to the door. Sam nodded and followed. I watched as Paul walked up to them and heard Jared say, "You too."

The three of them disappeared somewhere and Jacob walked inside, looking at me speculatively before his eyes flashed away in anger. "Jake?"

"I can't, Bella. Just let them explain in a minute." Jake told me with an angry/hurt expression, grabbing a muffin and walking back outside to the porch.

Jared POV-

As soon as we were back in the woods, we all phased again and it was immediately a mind-fuck between the three of us.

I could feel Paul's imprint on Bella before, but it was something different to feel both of our imprints on her at the same time.

"Well they're definitely both imprints." Sam said in the pack mind.

"No shit." Paul stated.

"What the hell are we going to do, Sam?" I asked him, ignoring Paul for the time being.

"One or both of you need to talk to her, tell her what's going on. I don't know how it's going to work with both of you being imprinted on her. I guess that'll be up to Bella." Sam replied.

"It's not going to be me explaining things, so looks like you're it." Paul said to me with a growl.

"So you're not even going to come with us when I tell her?" I asked him angrily.

"Fuck no, man. I'll watch from the sidelines, but it's not going to be as a human. I couldn't phase back right now if I tried." He told me, causing me to growl back at him.

"Listen, Paul is clearly too angry to be around Bella right now. Paul, you will not get within 12 feel of her until you accept it, and that's an order."

Paul growled even louder and took off into the forest.

"Great, how the hell am I supposed to explain to Bella that both of us imprinted on her when I don't even know how or why it happened? She's going to freak! Paul being a dickhead is just going to make it that much worse." I asked my alpha, knowing that Paul could hear every word.

"Just explain what you know and try to answer any questions she has." With that, Sam phased out and began walking back to the house.

"So, are you pissed about the imprint or pissed at me for imprinting on the same girl?" I asked Paul before phasing out.

"Both." He growled.

"Dude, you know I couldn't help it." I told him, hoping he'd understand.

"Yeah well neither could I, but that doesn't mean that I'm fucking happy about it." He told me and I phased out.

Bella POV-

"So, Bella, how did Jake manage to tell you?" Emily asked me when Jake was out the door.

"Uh, he didn't say anything. I just put two and two together on my own. I know the legends of the tribe, and it's not like I didn't know about the 'cold ones' before." Why didn't it hurt to think about them? About him? It did only just this morning.

"I knew he wouldn't be able to tell you! Alpha's orders get obeyed whether we want them to or not, and check it out, we can hear each other's thoughts too." Embry told me, and honestly I wasn't surprised.

"I kinda figured out about the alpha order thing during the whole situation at Jake's." I muttered, remembering back. Embry's eyes seemed to widen at my knowledge.

"You mean he alpha ordered you and you had to obey?" Embry asked quickly.

"Yeah, when he told me to stand back and when he told me to move away, I didn't have a choice. My body moved by itself." I told him honestly.

"I noticed that. You are good with weird, maybe this won't be so difficult after all." I heard Sam say when he walked in, moving directly over to Emily and kissing her face multiple times as she giggled. What I'd give for that type of love… "Jared's waiting outside to talk to you."

"Where did Paul go?" I asked quickly, considering I could feel him getting further away again.

"Cooling off. I'm sure you'll see him later." Sam told me, surprised that I asked. I nodded and walked outside where I could see Jared pacing back and forth nervously.

As soon as he saw me, he motioned for me to follow him and I did without question. We walked all the way down to the beach before I had enough of the silence.

"Jared." I called out. He stopped walking immediately and turned to face me. "Are you going to tell me what's going on or are we going to just keep walking?"

He took a deep breath and ran his hands through his hair before looking back up at me.

"I know you can feel it." He started nervously.

"The connection. What is it?" I asked him, needing to know.

"It's called an imprint." He told me, making me wonder what that could be. "Why the hell couldn't that fucker at least stay to help me explain?" I heard him mutter under his breath.

"Care to elaborate?" I asked, disregarding his muttered comment.

"To make it short, my life is now completely and totally connected to yours in every way." He attempted, but it still wasn't enough information.

"How… why?" I asked, moving closer to him.

"Obviously it's a wolf thing. It was supposed to be rare… Sam was the only one until—anyways the why is a bit more difficult to explain. No one knows. Our wolves choose our 'mate' for lack of a better term. It's like the whole world stopped spinning and completely shifted. My life now revolves around you, your happiness, and your safety. Before you ask, it doesn't create any sort of feelings. Whatever does develop happens on its own. I'll be whatever you need me to be, no matter what that is. A friend, a confidant, a lover… as long as you're happy." He explained to me.

I sat down on the wet sand, my legs feeling unable to stand any longer. I'd known the moment it happened that my life had changed forever, and deep inside me I knew it to be completely true.

"And Paul?" I questioned.

He took a deep breath and exhaled, sitting down across from me with his arms resting on his bent knees.

"It's the same for him." He finally whispered.

"Then why isn't he here too?" I asked him, needing to know the answer.

"Because he's an ass." He huffed. "Paul isn't—he doesn't handle change well. He's my best friend and now we're in this situation. Only the damn spirits know why two of us imprinted on you. I mean, how do we even handle that? Sam doesn't even have an explanation, only that he knows it's the real deal for both of us." Jared told me, throwing some sand at the water.

"So Sam imprinted on Emily?" I questioned, clearly being able to see he didn't want to talk about Paul right now.

"Yeah, about a year ago now. Hell, they've been engaged and living together for about 11 months." Jared told me. My eyes widened at that news. Did the imprint speed things up? I mean, I guess I could see that considering the type of bond. Better yet, I could feel it. I knew without a doubt that it would speed things up for us too.

"How do you feel about the whole situation?" I asked him and he turned to look at me with an unreadable expression.

"Confused, I guess. I only know you from what I've seen in Jacob's mind, and trust me, he thinks about you all the time. But that's just it though, I don't know you personally, but I know without a shadow of a doubt that I would give my life to protect you. I'd do anything in the world to make you happy, anything you wanted. I can't ever lie to you and I'd never do anything to break your trust. It's like you're the center of my universe and everything I do from now on will be for you." He explained to me.

It was a lot of information. Being the center of someone's universe. And not just one, but two someone's. I wasn't sure how to handle that either.

"How do you feel about it, Bella?" He asked me quietly, as if he wasn't sure he really wanted to hear the answer.

"It's… a lot to take in." I muttered to him, looking down at the sand before looking back up at him after feeling his worry. "But we'll figure it out." I could feel an immense amount of relief from him. "Paul can hear us, can't he? I can feel him in the woods."

Jared seemed really surprised at that and raised his eyebrows. "Yeah, he is. How did you know that?"

"I can feel where he is. Trust me, no explanation here. I'm sure it'll probably be the same with you too." I told him honestly.

"Now that's new. As far as I know, Emily can't do that." Jared told me. Interesting.

"Can she feel Sam's emotions?" I questioned.

"Only sometimes. He can feel hers all the time though, just like I can feel yours." He explained.

"I can feel both yours and Paul's. I know you're worried and he's pissed off. I can't tell what it's directed toward, but I've been feeling them since it happened. How did you know Paul had imprinted on me as well before you even talked to him?" I was curious.

"I can feel your bond with him, just like he can feel your bond with me. Talk about a surprise." He laughed.

"I can imagine. I have three different sets of emotions in my head and two of them aren't mine." I told him.

"Luckily, I can't feel Paul's and he can't feel mine, so that's a good thing. His would probably trigger me to phase on the spot half the time." I wanted to know why Paul was so angry all the time but I didn't feel like right now was the time to ask.

"Do you think he'll come around?" I asked him hesitantly.

"He can't ignore it forever, Bella. You can ask Sam what happens when you try. I'm not going to let you get too close to him until he does accept it though. I can't let him hurt you on accident." He said to me before throwing a whole handful of sand at the woods. "Fuck you, dude. Don't growl at me for protecting Bella while you act like an asshole!"

"He just growled at you?" I asked him incredulously.

"Don't worry about him right now, Bella. Sam ordered him to keep his distance until he cools off enough." He told me and I frowned.

A/N- I did the writer no-no again and couldn't help but start a new story before I have the other two done, but there's already over 20,000 words written for this one. I was going to wait to post until one of my other stories were done but I honestly just can't help it.

I love Jared and I love Paul... and I think that would be a bomb ass double imprint if there ever was one. Sweet and spice, everything a girl could ask for.

Tell me what you think!
