AN: So, uh, hi. Been wayyy too long and I apologize for that. I got caught up in several other story ideas and they kinda took over all extra processing power I had in my head. I got hooked on ideas of non-human Bella, then that devolved into various harem concepts and I have developed a problem that has ended me up with 30+ WIPs (none of which I will publish unless I finish, I promise, I'm not going to leave you all hanging again). That being said, I hope this chapter makes up for my lack of posting, and I hope you all like where I decided to take this story. I have plans galore now and I'm already cackling at the next chapter because the fuckery has only just begun.

That being said, I made some changes to the story that I meant to make from the beginning but forgot about. First of all, I meant Bella to BE 18, not soon-to-be. She's a senior in this story so this is her graduating year, so I wanted the age to reflect that. Plus, all the adult situations are a lot less 'illegal', which was also why I always meant for her to be of age.

I also decided to take out the broken arm and instead gave her a bump on the head. Let's face it, this is a very touchy-feely story and there's a lot of sexual activity going on, and I keep forgetting she's supposed to be in an very inconvenient cast the whole time lol. For those who have read this story before, a reread isn't necessary unless you simply want to get a fresh perspective, otherwise just continue on from here as thought the above were always true.

(AN2 at bottom)

Alice

"Bella-Bear!" The sound of Emmett's booming voice echoed around the kitchen the following morning, drawing a warning growl from my throat as he barreled into the room. After Bella's impromptu adoption into the family the previous night, the delicate human hadn't been long for this world before she passed out in Emse's arms. Whatever stress the girl had been carrying around on her shoulders where her mother was concerned had obviously been nagging at her for a while now.

A sharp sound from my side drew my attention to a bleary-eyed Bella literally hissing at the man-child from what was quickly becoming her signature seat at the kitchen island. "Emmett," her voice was still gravely from sleep, "You're sitting at an eleven. I'm gonna need you at about a four until I've had a chance to get this coffee in my system." She patted the cup in her hands while Esme petered around the kitchen making the girl's breakfast.

"Aww, c'mon Bella-Boo," he continued in a placating voice that was having zero affect on diminishing Bella's glare. "I've waited for weeks to officially meet my new sister!"

A ghost of a smile twisted Bella's lips as she set her cup down, turning in her seat. She lowered herself to the floor, trudging zombie-like to where the man was standing, his arms open wide in invitation. Leaning up on her tip-toes, she patted his head a few times and said, "Nice to meet you tall, dark, and annoying," before slowly returning to her seat, taking her cup of coffee between her hands again. "Now be a good vampire and leave the human alone before I have my mates remove something precious from your body."

I couldn't help the giggle that slipped from me at the man's wide-eyed gaze. He glanced at me and I flashed him a feral grin, causing him to cup himself before walking away with a whimper. As much as it would repulse me to touch that man's genitals, I'd gladly tear it off if Bella asked it. Is this what being mated to a human is like?

Rosalie hadn't quite finished chuckling as she entered the room, fresh from a shower and clothed immaculately in a pair of black Chinos and a long-sleeve maroon button-down. I swear, my sister could make the simplest outfit look ridiculously attractive. And judging by Bella's open-mouthed staring, she agreed.

I reached over without looking away from Rose to snap Bella's mouth closed, giggling as the brunette started with a cute little snort. "Hey, it's not my fault," she grumbled, mumbling under her breath, "Friggin' walks in like she's just strutting off a runway."

It wasn't long before a fully loaded plate of pancakes, sausage, and hash browns landed in front of Bella's sleep-hooded eyes. The girl perked up almost immediately, the drastic change bringing a smile to my lips. Rosalie had moved to seat herself on Bella's other side, but I don't think the girl noticed since she began digging in without hesitation.

"So," Bella mumbled moments later after swallowing a ridiculously large mouthful of food, "What exactly is the plan for today?"

I was quick to answer as I let my visions pass before my mind's eye. "Well, when you're done eating we'll move to the living room to introduce you to our brothers before Emmett has a conniption." Emmett's childish mocking from the other room had my suppressing a giggle. "Around noon we'll take you to the treaty line so we can show the wolves that you're perfectly safe."

Rosalie's grumble was just quiet enough that Bella's human hearing couldn't pick it up. "Filthy dogs think we would ever hurt our mate."

"You have to remember, they don't understand about vampire mates," Esme chided from across the kitchen. "All they know is that we have a human visiting our dwelling, and to them that means we plan to feed on her. Their prejudices won't allow them to think otherwise."

"It's insulting," Rose replied, a growl building up in her throat.

Bella's hand came to rest on top of Rosalie's clenched fist atop the table. "It'll be fine," she mumbled between her next bite, and all three of us immortals present glanced around confused. "I can't hear you but I can sort of tell when you're upset. So I assume you were doing that thing where you communicate where I can't hear."

"You are spectacular, you know that?" I couldn't help pulling the girl into my side in a gentle hug, marveling at just how incredible our mate is. She was so intuitive that sometimes I felt like she was similarly gifted, besides her shield, of course.

Bella shrugged casually in my arms. "I'm observant. I think it comes from having a cop for a dad. He spent a lot of my summer visits teaching me self-defense and situational awareness. I think it was his way of making up for not being around."

"He's a good man," Esme chimed in as she finished cleaning up the kitchen. "He's always defended our family anytime someone said something cross about us."

Bella nodded, smiling wistfully as she finished the last bit of food. I hadn't even noticed the girl shoveling it all away until she was already finished. At least we don't have to worry about Bella starving herself. Eating was another one of those human things I had no memory of doing myself, so it was kind of fascinating to watch, even though the stench was god-awful.

"Alright," Bella turned in her seat until she was facing the door that lead to the living room. "Let's go meet the testosterone side of the family."

Emmett was still chuckling as we filed into the living room. He was standing near the couch closest to the entertainment system, a broad grin aimed at my mate. Jasper was at the other end of the room, leaning casually against the bookshelf there with one of his civil war books in his hand. It was a ruse, of course, his attempt at appearing somewhat normal while keeping as much distance between himself and the human. Regardless of his manipulating my emotions, I still felt bad for him. He struggled more than the rest of us, and it was all because of his empathic gift. He not only had to contend with his own blood lust, but he also felt everyone else's. The fact that he was willing to deal with Bella's enticing scent in our dwelling meant a lot to me.

Rosalie, on the other hand, was not so trusting. "If you so much as twitch in her direction, I'll end you."

I had to struggle not to grumble at Rosalie, though admittedly I understood her protectiveness. If I didn't have every confidence in Jasper's control - as well as my gift of foresight - then I would be threatening him as well. As it stood, I couldn't see any possibilities that ended with myself or Rosalie murdering my ex, so I took that to mean everything would be fine.

A glance around the room found Edward at his piano, though he hadn't struck a cord yet. Like Jasper, he was posturing, though I wasn't sure why until he rose slowly from his seat before approaching us just inside the doorway. "Bella, it is a pleasure to officially meet you!" His voice was jovial, though there was a hint of strain in it, and it was only after a second's glance that I realized he was attempting to hold his breath. It would seem Jasper was not the only one struggling with our mate's delectable scent, though I appreciated his slow approach all the more now. He was acclimating himself with controlled motions as he extended his hand to Bella.

Bella's smile was slightly sardonic as she shook Edward's hand. "Is this as weird for you all as it is for me?"

A gleam entered Edward's eyes as his gaze softened. "Indeed, little sister, though I must say it is fascinating to see how much your bond with my sisters has changed them. I can honestly say I have never seen them more happy than they have been since meeting you."

A predictable blush painted Bella's cheeks as she withdrew into into our waiting arms. "I'd say that experience is mutual. I've never known such happiness as I've felt with these two goddesses."

"Smooth," Emmett spoke up, having made his way over to us with a his signature boyish grin in place. "I might have to take some pointers from you, mini-Casanova." He opened his arms expectantly. "Now where's my hug?"

I was about to intervene because I wasn't quite sure my possessive side could handle another vampire's scent being all over my mate, when Bella snorted and extended her hand. "Look, I like you, Emmett, so I'm gonna do you a favor and take hugs off the table for the time being so my mates don't rip you a new asshole on instinct."

"Bella! Language!" Esme chided from behind us, causing said brunette to wince.

"Sorry mom," she murmured, blushing a deeper shade of red. Then she blinked and turned her face away but not before I'd seen the sight sheen of tears in her eyes. I don't think she'd quite gotten used to the ease with which Esme found her way into people's hearts, least of all those she considered family.

"She's right, though," Rosalie added, conveniently taking attention away from our emotional mate. "Keep your grubby paws off our mate for the time being, unless you want to wind up in pieces scattered across the Continental United States."

Emmett chuckled good-naturedly as he held up his hands in surrender. "How come you weren't this possessive with me?"

He was teasing, but the comment put me on edge as I worried about the way Bella might respond to the reminder that this man used to be Rosalie's husband.

I was not expecting the confident words that came out of her lips almost before Emmett had finished his sentence. "Probably because I've got nicer tits."

She slapped a hand over her mouth as she looked around for Esme, waiting for a reprimand that never came. "Esme is in her office, which is soundproofed like most of the house," Rosalie informed her while Emmett laughed himself nearly onto the floor.

"Hot damn, Bella's got balls!" he teased back.

"Another missing attribute that sets me above and beyond you, Neanderthal," Bella returned with just as much wit and sass, though her tone was just as teasing.

Emmett was grinning as he pointed a finger at our mate. "You, little sis, are alright by me."

"Yeah, well," Bella grumbled as she attempted to glare at the goofy man-child. "When I'm turned, I'm kicking your ass up and down the nearby mountains until I've left pieces of you scattered all over the place."

His eyes widened, mouth gaping before forming a pout that would almost put one of mine to shame. "But I'm Brother Bear! What did I do?"

This time her glare was much more serious as she stared the 6-foot-plus tall vampire down. "You mean you banging one of my future wives isn't enough to want to see your body in pieces?"

There was a pause, then Emmett was once again shaking the windows with his laughter while Bella continued to glare at the vampire beefcake. I should have factored in that our mate might be jealous of the men we had been with for literal decades before she was even born. Still, I didn't see any of this going south in a bad way so I stayed the course.

Emmett walked away, still laughing, when Jasper closed the book he'd been reading, drawing our attention his direction. He slowly returned the book to the shelf before moving our direction. I could feel Rosalie tense up but the easygoing smile Jasper sent us had the woman relaxing an infinitesimal amount. "Good mornin', darin'," he murmured, pulling out the full Texan charm while keeping a far enough distance to discourage any physical contact with our human. "You'll have to excuse me if I don't shake your hand. I still have problems with my control around humans. And I'm sure your mates would carry out your promise to Emmett should I even twitch wrong."

"Oh, no," she replied, voice deceptively casual and I was almost terrified of what she was going to say to my ex. "I wouldn't do you bodily harm." She paused with the sweetest of smiles before her entire expression went blank save for the fiery glare she leveled at Jasper. "No," she whispered in a deathly serious tone, "After what you did to Alice, manipulating her emotions in such a way? I won't do a damn thing to you. Instead," here her lips lifted in a vicious grin that was just this side of sadistic, "I will wait until we're all safe at school, then I'll tear open a vein and watch your self-control crumble. I won't even plan it out, that way Alice won't even have time to warm you. I will bleed for Alice's pain and watch as you fall to ruin."

Dead silence met Bella's terrifying statement. I couldn't see anything of that kind of future playing out, but Bella did say she wouldn't make a plan so she could catch him off guard. I did catch a glimpse of a swiss army knife being dropped into her backpack, but then that future disappeared almost as soon as it appeared as Bella turned a knowing narrowed-eyed look my direction. Damn, when did she get so good at manipulating my gift?! And why was this vicious side of her turning me on?!

To say that Jasper looked devastated would be an understatement. For the first time in the decades I'd known him, he truly looked fearful. Which only reinforced my belief that Bella meant every word of it, since Jasper would be able to sense her intent in her emotions. Gods, I didn't know what to do with this whole situation. I mean, I'd forgiven Jasper for what he'd done, but it would seem Bella had plenty of resentment for my ex. I looked to Rosalie for help only to find her black-eyed gaze lingering on our mate.

Then Bella was blinking, a smile taking over her features as she turned to face me. "So, when do I get to meet the puppies?!"

Bella

I didn't exactly feel bad for making such a threat towards who was essentially my brother-in-law, but I did feel a twinge of guilt when I noticed the wide-eyed look on Alice's face. I understood that the mate-bond didn't allow past emotions to linger, at least for my vampires, but until the moment I was confronted by the two men who had held my mates' hearts for so many years I'd had no idea how deep my own jealousy and anger went. Emmett was definitely a teddy bear, so my threats to him were mostly posturing. I still planned to beat the ever-loving shit out of him when I was turned, don't get me wrong, but I already kinda considered the oaf to be family.

Jasper, on the other hand, was a completely different story. He took something precious, something beautiful, and twisted it for his own means. The love between them might have been real, and it might have been lasting had Alice never met me. But by enhancing Alice's feelings towards him, Jasper had essentially taken Alice's heart hostage until the mate-bond broke the chains. I wasn't sure I would ever be able to forgive him for such a violation.

I ignored the looks from the rest of the family as Carlisle and Esme joined us in the living room. While Alice looked more than a little concerned with my threats, Rosalie looked downright ready to mount me and I just couldn't let my mind go there or this meeting was going to get even more uncomfortable when my body started betraying itself. Edward looked positively aghast as he read Jasper's thoughts and the empath's gift telling him just how true I was going to hold to my threat.

"The wolves should be making their way to the treaty line," Carlisle began diplomatically, either having missed my threats to his sons or choosing to ignore the drama. "I suggest we begin heading that way ourselves. Bella, of course, will need to be carried by either of her mates, but I would ask you three to stay out of sight until we assess the wolves' states of mind."

It was quickly agreed that Rosalie would carry me, sweeping me into her arms in such a smooth motion I damn near swooned. I blamed my following breathlessness on the sudden rush of speed as we all left the house as streaks of colors rather than on the secure and loving hold of my blonde goddess of a mate. I couldn't even be bothered to hide my face in her neck to fight the wind when my eyes fought to maintain their steady gaze upon me own personal angel. She truly was beauty personified.

What would have taken several hours of hiking turned into five minutes of mind-numbingly fast travel through the dense forests of the Olympic Peninsula. At Carlisle's signal, Rosalie and Alice came to a stop behind several layers of trees while the rest of the family went ahead to the meeting area.

"Where is the human?!" an unknown voice demanded without preamble, several loud growls answering his demands.

I could hear Carlisle's gentle voice floating on the breeze with a calmness that was almost mocking if I didn't know the man by now. "She is nearby. We simply wished to ensure her safety before bringing her forth. I trust you understand that the treaty stands until guilt or innocence is proven, yes?"

"I know the treaty, leech. Show the human now or your lives are forfeit!"

Oh, I'd had about e-fucking-nough of this fuckwad who seemed to have a hard-on for the sound of his own voice. I struggled in Rosalie's arms until she reluctantly lowered me to my feet, waiting patiently for me to regain my questionable balance. Then I was stomping my way out of the tree line and into the open with a carefully planned and articulately structured scathing rebuke on the tip of my tongue.

Only to draw up short as I took in the sight of several horse-sized wolves with fur in varying colors. These weren't wolves, these were goddamn wolves on steroids! "Whoa, big puppies."

The sounds of Alice and Rosalie's hands meeting their foreheads went ignored as I shook myself out of my stupor and marched right up to stand next to Carlisle and Esme, Alice and Rosalie taking positions on either side of me, naturally. "Well? Here I am, human as the day I was hatched. Satisfied?"

The man was massive and more than a little intimidating, but it would seem I was in an antagonistic more today. Plus, with Alice and Rosalie at my sides, I always felt invincible. Unfortunately, this did not please the wolves as several growled, though the russeted-furred wolf next to who I assumed was the Alpha turned and ran into the tree line.

To say I was a bit thrown off when Jacob stepped out wearing only a pair of jean shorts would be an understatement. "Dude, Jake, you do know steroids are bad for you, right?"

He just stared at me with this sad, disapproving look. "Why are you with these leeches? Do you know how much danger you're in?!"

"No more than you," I interrupted my mates' sharp hisses, "if you keep insulting my mates." I grabbed both of their hands to highlight just who I was talking about.

A feminine laugh from behind the Pack drew my attention to a gorgeous, leggy Native woman as she walked up next to Jacob, resting an arm on his shoulder. "Damn, Jake, looks like you never stood a chance."

Jacob growled and shook off the woman's arm, his glare taking in the rest of the Cullens as if the blame lied with them. Only, when his gaze came to Edward, he froze on the spot, his eyes wide as he took a half step forward before being pulled back by the dark-haired woman.

"Are you fucking kidding me?!" she growled, and I couldn't stop swiveling my head between the two men as Edward looked just as shocked as the wolf.

"Uhh," I murmured into the stillness, "anyone wanna explain to the human what the hell is going on?"

A sound from Rosalie had my gaze turning her way in shock because there was no way Rosalie-perfect-manicure goddess Hale just giggle-snorted. Alas, she was not finished as she burst out into the most beautiful sound in the world, her laughter ringing through the clearing as she nearly doubled over.

It was Alice who eventually answered, quiet giggles slipping out between her words. "The wolves have something similar to our mate-bonding called 'imprinting'."

It was the female wolf who finished the explanation, a certain anger apparent in her voice as she glared at Jacob and the Alpha. "From the moment one of us locks eyes with our imprint, the world disappears. Their imprint becomes their world, despite prior obligations like being engaged."

The Alpha wolf sighed heavily as he glared at the woman. "Leah, you've been in my thoughts as much as I've been in yours. I get it, okay? But you've seen what the imprint does to us. You've seen what happens when we try to fight it as well."

The woman flinched and looked away but not before I saw the tightness in her jaw. Apparently there was some drama there that I had luckily avoided by not hanging around Jacob since moving back to Forks. Then my mind was back in Jacob and Edward and I couldn't help but laugh as I grinned over at the vampire in question. "It's time to take a flying leap out of that closet, buddy. Don't worry, you're practically surrounded by queer at this point."

Carlisle continued my teasing words with a more supportive tone. "You know we will always accept you for who you are, son. And, of course, that includes your mate, just as we have done with your sisters'." He glanced at me out of the corner of his eye and I felt my shoulders rise up to my ears as I tried to hide behind my mates.

Esme was much more excitable, blurring to Edward's side to pull him into one of her mom hugs. "I'm so happy for you! I always knew you would find your mate and here you are!"

A loud clearing of a throat drew our gaze back to the Alpha. "As much as I am loathe to admit, this changes things. We have never been told of one of our wolves imprinting on a lee-Cold One before." He stood up to his full height, arms crossed over his chest. "Which brings me to the main reason I called this meeting. As you may or may not have heard, our school on the Reservation suffered extensive damage during a recent storm and is temporarily unable to serve its purpose until we can repair the damaged areas. I was going to propose an amendment to the treaty that would allow tribal students to attend Forks High in the interim. This, of course, will include several of our Pack who have yet to graduate."

Carlisle took a moment to consider the request before asking, "You said you 'were' going to suggest the amendment. Do you not wish to continue this discussion or did you have something else in mind."

It was Edward who answered, finally breaking out of his shock enough to participate while his gaze never strayed too far from his mate. "Sam is considering annulling the treaty entirely, at least for golden-eyed vampires. He does not wish to see myself and Jacob forced to live across an invisible line that no longer stands true."

Sam growled low in his throat, drawing a more ferocious growl from Jacob in return. It was such a vicious noise that I naturally drew closer to my mates for comfort. Meanwhile, Sam and Jacob were having a stare-down until eventually Sam sighed, nodding his head.

"I apologize for my behavior," Sam grumbled out as if it physically hurt him to say the words. "To threaten an imprint is one of our greatest dishonors and I ask your forgiveness. But I would like to speak my own thoughts from now on, Edward Cullen."

Edward looked taken aback for a moment before a chagrined smile lifted his lips. "Ah, I believe the apology is mine for speaking for you. I cannot control what I hear but I do have a choice in revealing those thoughts. I blame it on the shock of finding my mate, but I promise I will endeavor to refrain in the future."

I blinked at the courteous response from the mind-reader, then at Sam whose tense posture was slowly relaxing. "Wh-What is happening here? I feel like I'm in a weird episode of the Twilight Zone and I'm missing half the context clues."

Alice giggled but it was the female wolf, Leah, who answered with a bewildered expression on her face. "If I'm reading this correctly, then all this means that this will have no effect on either of us." She then proceeded to jump across the invisible territory line, landing on our side by several feet.

There was tension across both sides as she stood there defiantly before the vampires began to relax, Esme going so far as to smile at the young woman. "I believe that is quite the statement, Ms. Clearwater, and an effective one." She turned back to her husband who had a similar smile in his lips as he took several steps forward to the treaty line, gazing intently at Sam. He then extended his hand, waiting.

Sam walked forward, grasping Carlisle's hand and physically pulling him onto their side of the line. It was just as grand of a gesture as Leah's, probably moreso since it was the two leaders putting on the show. "You still smell like a candy factory dowsed in bleach and set on fire, just so you know," Sam rumbled with a smirk.

"And you still smell of wet dog rolled up in hot garbage," Rosalie threw in her two cents from the side-lines. "We're all friends now, yay. Can we take our mate and go home now?"

"Would it be weird if I asked to tag along?" Leah asked while scratching the back of her head. "I am surrounded by testosterone all day long. I think hanging out with a triad of lesbians would balance my estrogen quota for the next month at least."

I immediately grabbed Rosalie's hand, forcing her to look at me before she gave her instant negative response. "Hey, I may be new to this world but it seems like this whole peace thing between you and the wolves is important. So we've gotta start somewhere, and she literally took the first step. Besides, just think of the insider gossip she has on Jacob that we can lord over Edward's head."

Rosalie turned an arched-brow look at Edward's affronted glare before smiling viciously. "Come on, Legs. Let's take a walk."

Alice and I shared a smirk as the wolf rolled her eyes. At least I wasn't the only one to notice. Girl had legs for days, and wearing only tight spandex shorts and a white tank-top that clung to her very fit body, holy shit was she a specimen. A flick to my ear had my giving Rosalie an indignant cry. "Mom, Rosalie's being mean!"

Esme's voice floated over the din of activity as wolves left to shift to human forms to join the disillusionment of the treaty. "Rosalie Lillian Hale, you be nice to your mate!"

Alice and I cackled as my tiny mate picked me up bridal style and took off back towards the house. I could only just barely hear Rosalie yelling at Leah to keep up before she was falling into step with Alice. I stuck my tongue out at her for good measure, though Alice's whispered words had me yelping, "Put it away unless you intend to use it."

Needless to say, I felt sorry for Leah who probably had to deal with following in the wake of my flood of arousal at the images those words put in my head. It wasn't my fault that these two kept my mind constantly in the vicinity of the gutter. I couldn't wait to be alone with my ladies so the ravishing could commence. Why did we invite Leah along again?

We arrived, not at the Cullen house as expected, but my dad's, appearing in the backyard. Leah caught up about a half a minute later, still in her ridiculously scandalous outfit and damn my libido has a mind if its own sometimes.

"So," I began, trying to distract myself from my gorgeous mates and a half-naked Native woman, "why are we at my dad's house?"

Alice lowered me to my feet, a tinkling laugh leaving her lips as she nudged my side. "Well, first of all, as much as I doubt Rosalie minds you borrowing her clothes, we figured we would stop here after the meeting to get you some clothes of your own until Charlie gets back in town, and your school supplies in case he's not back by tomorrow."

"Also, it'll help us acclimate to having the dog around," Rosalie just couldn't help jibe at the wolf.

"Arf-arf, Blondie. Keep it up and I might actually start thinking you wanna be friends."

I choked on my laugh as Rose glared at the wolf with her signature arctic gaze. Which I immediately melted when I leaned up and kissed her lips before turning and walking towards the house. "Be nice," I chided, smiling smugly as I heard Leah coughing the word 'whipped' loudly. The oof that followed was probably deserved but I figure if they could trade blows and barbs without actually going to war, this peace thing might actually work out.

I had just reached the back door and was reaching above the frame for the spare key when I heard Alice whistle appreciatively. I turned back just in time to catch sight of a naked, grinning Leah before she burst into her silver-grey wolf form. I felt my stomach drop out from under me as I realized how futile this peace was...that is until I saw Leah crouching down, backside wiggling playfully as she challenged Rosalie. It was a mock fight, at least in Leah's mind, but Rose didn't do things in half measure.

"In the woods, you morons!" I whisper shouted as I rushed to Alice's side. "She's going to kill her, you know that right?"

Alice just grinned happily as she shrugged. "Nope! I can't see the wolves, which means right now I can't see a damn thing around us! It feels so good to just be."

I felt my chest constrict for my mate, pulling her into my side as we followed the prancing wolf and flexing vampire. "Well, at the very least you get this moment of peace before Carlisle kills Rose, and that's only if the wolves don't get us first."

"Calm your beautiful tits," Rosalie tossed my way, her gaze never leaving the wolf. "I'm not going to kill her. Maybe break a few bones but they heal even faster than we do."

I sighed before turning into Alice's neck to hide my blush, but also to block out the sight of Rosalie's fierce gaze as she measured up her opponent. Fuck, why is this turning me on?!

The sounds of snarling and hissing commenced, the expected sounds of thunder as the two supernaturals collided. I thought about turning to watch but I realized I wouldn't be able to see a damn thing with how fast they could move so I just stayed in my safety space and inhaled Alice's comforting, intoxicating scent.

"It's too bad you can't see this," she teased playfully in my ear. "Leah's fast, she's already got half of Rosalie's shirt torn off."

That had my head shooting up, only to find the two still blurring around the woods, Alice giggling at my pout. "Can't wait until I'm turned, I'm putting both of you in your places."

A sudden stop in motion had my gaze zeroing in on my half-topless blonde mate holding the massive wolf around her neck in an unbreakable hold. I think we were all calling it a win for Rosalie when Leah surprised us all by shifting quickly into her human form. This allowed her the time she needed to slip out of Rosalie's grip before flipping the blonde over, shifting mid-turn until she had her teeth open wide over Rosalie's bare throat.

We all fell still for a brief moment, breath held as the wolf literally held my mate's life in her teeth. Then Leah licked the entire length of Rosalie's face earning her an outraged snarl and a kick to the chest so hard even I could hear her ribs cracking as the wolf flew through a tree-like, literally snapped the tree in half and kept going until she came to a panting stop on her side over a hundred feet away.

"Rose!" I shouted, ready to run and check on Leah just as Alice caught me around the waist. Rosalie was walking away but hadn't noticed the wolf getting calmly to her feet. In a blur of movement, Leah cleared the space between them, teeth outstretched just as Rosalie turned to fend her off. Only it wasn't flesh Leah was going for instead she took hold of the rest of Rosalie's shirt and ripped it off and kept running until she was several paces away. She turned a toothy grin back to us featuring what was no doubt an expensive designer sweater.

Me, I was stuck on the fact that Rosalie was wearing another red lacey bra similar to the one I'd memorized from the pictures they'd teased me with. I felt my breathing hitch as my lower body clenched, my thighs pressing together desperately. Unfortunately, I was in close enough space to three supernatural women with heightened senses that I suddenly had two pairs of onyx-hued eyes and a set of golden wolf eyes staring right at me. I couldn't help but whimper, suddenly being the center of attention of three powerful women. Shit, I was trembling, and if it weren't for Alice holding me up, I'm pretty sure my legs would have given out long ago.

And suddenly, Alice was supporting my weight from behind and Rosalie was right there in front of me. "You are making it very hard for us to control ourselves, little mate."

The growl in her voice wasn't helping the state of my panties at all, neither was the tight hold Alice had around my waist as her petite frame pressed enticingly against my back. I was whimpering by the time Rosalie tilted my head up, her darkened gaze sending pleasant tingles down my spine. "Should I remind you," I breathed into the space between us, "that all the prerequisites are met, loves. My father is out of town, your family aren't expected to come here to my house. Do either of you need to feed?"

I could feel Alice shaking her head from behind, Rosalie repeating the gesture visually. I was panting as I let my hands come to rest on Rosalie's bare shoulders, pressing forward until my chest was pressed against her bra-clad breasts. "We've been tiptoeing around this for long enough. You can both smell how much I need you. Why are you hesitating?"

A deep, rumbling chuckle from nearby had me literally jumping between my two mates as I finally remembered the wolf girl nearby. "Don't stop on my account," Leah had the audacity to chime in, voice low and almost growling in its animal-like quality.

I felt Rosalie pulling back a little, but instead of the rage I expected to see there was only more heat as she smirked down at me. Alice was purring heavily into my back as she began to writhe against me more aggressively. I was confused, to be certain, but having the wolf watching my mates rile me up was only making me need them that much worse and I didn't understand why. All I could do was whimper and send Rosalie a furrow-brow look of concern.

She simply leaned in and took my lips with her own in an aggressive kiss that had me panting into her as she dominated my mouth with her tongue and teeth and lips. Alice's purring was more of a growl now as she began grinding her clothed core against my ass, and holy shit we had jumped from make-out sessions to heading to what I was very much hoping to be our claiming. But I was still confused about them allowing Leah's continued presence.

When Rosalie pulled back, she looked so damn smug at the state she left me in, but I'd give her that one because I was thoroughly kissed and aching to go further. I needed to have them, I couldn't keep living in this world without knowing their full passions or I think I might just cry at the injustice if it all.

"Bella," Rosalie whispered, her voice rough with need. When my gaze finally raised to hers, I saw all of my need reflected, matched by the roaming hands of my pixie mate who had somehow snuck her hands beneath my sweater, cold fingers drawing a needy gasp from my lips. "You remember how Alice and I are the only known vampires to share a mate?" I nodded, willing my brain kick into gear because this was obviously important or my clothes would be long gone by now. "The wolf is standing nearby, bare ass naked and watching us and I feel no threat from her. I can tell Alice feels the same, and from the smell of it, she-wolf is on the same page. My question applies to both of you: do you want her to watch?"

I felt my eyes widen as an unchecked flood of my juices painted my thighs at the idea alone. Holy shit when did we become exhibitionists? But I'll be damned if the thought of the gorgeous wolf watching my mates claim me didn't have me teetering on the edge already. The increased sound of Leah's growling purr only served to signal her willingness.

Rosalie smiled and turned her body to half face the wolf who was leaning against a nearby tree. True to word, she hadn't bothered to retrieve a stitch of clothing and stood there with her glorious body confidently on display. Gods she was a sight to behold, easily the third most beautiful woman I'd ever known next to my mates.

"Ground rules," Rosalie looked Leah straight in the eyes, "Look, don't touch, unless we say otherwise. This is uncharted waters for both of our kinds, and we're claiming our mate for the first time. No need to tempt fate by moving too fast. You're, of course, allowed to touch yourself all your want. And judging by the tangy scent flooding the air, I don't think either of us would mind the show."

"I won't lie," Leah replied, smirk still firmly in place, "this was absolutely not what I had in mind when I said I wanted to get my estrogen quota from the lesbian triad, but I'm not complaining. Besides," her grin turned toothy as she stared my blonde mate down, "I think I deserve some kind of reward for pinning the mighty Rosalie."

Rosalie snapped her teeth at the wolf playfully. "We're having a rematch later. But for now," she turned the full heated intensity back onto me and I couldn't help the unhinged moan that left my lips as my body trembled with need.

"In the house, please. I need you to take me, make me yours! I'm already so close..."

I was in Alice's arms and up the stairs to my room in nearly the blink of an eye. She laid me down atop the comforter before she pulled back, pulling out her phone. With rapid taps and a quick mass-text, she tossed the device to the side. "Just ensuring everyone knows that your house is a kill-on-sight zone for the rest of the day."

"Smart," I whispered, losing the rest of my breath as Rosalie literally wrestled Leah into the room in a headlock that the wolf wasn't slipping out of this time. She dragged her to the corner of the room and tossed her into the chair there, the naked wolf breathing heavily as her shining golden eyes glared up at the blonde with promise of retribution.

"Stay there or else next time I shatter your ribs so hard Carlisle has to cut you open to reset every fragment."

I'll admit, I've had weird nightmares about waking up to someone watching me in the middle of the night from that chair. I would never look at that chair again and not think of those impossibly long legs bare to my gaze, her full, gorgeous breasts tipped with rigid dusky nipples already. Fuck, I had to close my eyes and swallow against the tightening in my abdomen as both Alice and Rosalie slid onto the bed on either side of me.

"Open those beautiful brown eyes for us, Isabella." I was almost afraid to open them to find this was all some kind of fever dream, but the husky way Rosalie spoke my full name had me obeying almost immediately. Alice had somehow tossed her own shirt in the short time I'd had my eyes closed and I couldn't help but whimper at the sight of so much pale skin had me writhing, my breath panting with need.

I nearly jumped out of my skin when both Alice and Rosalie placed one of their hands on either closest thigh to them. I couldn't keep my hips still with them so close to the source of my need, their eyes never leaving my face as they slowly began to guide their hands up my thighs until they reached the waistband of my pants. I just wanted them to tear the damn things off, to rip every piece of clothing between our bodies away until I could finally feel them bare against me.

"You know," Rosalie husked in that seductive cadence that never failed to drive me insane, "we have discussed how we would take you our first time. What we would do to you, how we would make you scream for us."

I hissed in a breath, my hips arching into their hands that were suddenly pinning me down. "But for some reason," Alice went on, undeterred by the needy sounds leaving my lips, "I could never see the moment we got to claim you, and now I know why." She glanced over at the wolf, biting her lip and groaning, drawing my gaze to find that Leah had definitely made herself comfortable. One leg was spread over the arm of the chair, the other spreading the apex of her thighs in our direction. She wasn't sitting idle either, her long, agile fingers playing across her lips while spreading the copious amount of wetness there. She was glistening and I couldn't help but gasp, my back arching as my head pressed into my pillow.

Some part of me felt like I shouldn't turned on over this. Leah wasn't one of my mates, was barely more than a stranger. But whether it was the supernatural aspect of it or just some kind of animal attraction, neither myself nor my mates seemed bothered by her presence. More than that, her presence was only adding to the experience until I was sure that the slightest touch was going to set me off.

Rosalie's clit-throbbing chuckle was not helping as their hands finally left my hips, slipping up beneath my shirt, their cold hands sending chills across my already sensitive skin. "Of course, there were still things we were in agreement over despite pipsqueak here being blind tonight."

They were working my shirt up my abdomen and over my chest and I quickly leaned up to allow its removal. I quickly felt the release of my bra clasp before my back hit the bed again, smirking up at my mates as I casually tossed the article aside. This had both women pausing in their movements as they stared at my bare breasts for the first time without the hesitation of being stuck in a school locker room. Alice, far more impatient than her sister, had her cold mouth covering my nipple, her wet and tongue swirling around the erect bud causing me to cry out and cradle the back of her head to me in pleasure. The addition of Rosalie's cool palm cupping my other breast was like heaven, her firm but soft skin brushing upwards against my nipple until she was dragging her perfectly manicured nails down over the flesh above until those same nails converged on my nipple. When she pinched it just so, I couldn't help but scream and arch into them. I could feel my body trembling, my abdomen and core rippling in a constant clenching rhythm. I was so close and they hadn't even gotten my pants off, but then Rosalie was abandoning my breast in order to literally rip my jeans off of me, shedding the material in her haste to bare the rest of my body.

I didn't even care what became of my clothes, because the look of absolute hunger in Rosalie's blackened gaze was something I had been dreaming about for what felt like ages. Alice had pulled back but still left her hands to tease my breasts as she gazed longingly at my body. I had begun to get used to having these two goddesses looking at me with attraction and desire, but seeing the carnal need in their inhuman gazes was a new level of flattering that had me reaching for them.

"Please, my goddesses," I whimpered, every pale inch of me flushing with hot need. "Let me see you, let me have you. Make me yours."

Rosalie and Alice were blurs of motion as they disrobed in record time. As much as I would have enjoyed a striptease, that could wait for a less desperate time. Still, the moment I had both of my mates kneeling completely bare to either side of my body is when my higher brain function failed. Alice, as expected, was petite yet had perfectly perky breasts that I'd only gotten hints of in the teasing pictures they'd sent. Her hips were sharp but fit her delicate dancer's frame perfectly. And gods, there was so much smooth, pale skin that I wanted to worship if only I could remember how to make my body move.

Rosalie was, without a doubt, the ultimate specimen of femininity. Tall, slender and shapely in the most perfect ways, there was no lie in calling her a goddess. Her breasts were at least a size bigger than mine but perfectly rounded in every way, while her hips did not lie in those tight jeans she normally wore. Between my two mates, I feared for my heart as I gaped at their outright perfection. I didn't even bother clenching my thighs together anymore, as I was positively soaked through, and by the ways they were kneeling by my waist, I could tell by their clean-shaven lips that they were just as worked up and ready as I was.

A gasp of pleasure from across the room reminded me that we weren't alone, my gaze unwillingly leaving my mates' bodies to take in the wolf who was panting with her intoxicating lips gaping as her fingers got lost inside of her wet core. "Fuck," she growled, her eyes golden in the dim light from the window. "By the Spirits, you're all so perfect. All three of you, you're so beautiful."

Whatever she did next had her choking on her next breath, the sight of her fingers sliding faster between her lips creating a wet sound that had my own core feeling like it was going to gush at any moment. Then my panties were snapped and cold air hit my core and I had to throw my head back again as a harsh moan slid past my lips as my thighs were pried apart by the indomitable strength of my mates. I had long-ago taken to keeping myself well-shaved and it looked like my efforts were appreciated as both Alice and Rosalie growled at the sight of my own glistening lips. "Please!" I whispered, repeating the word again and again as both women moved to crouch between my legs, one leg dangling over each one's shoulder. Good fucking gods, how I didn't cum from the visual of both of their faces appearing between my legs was some kind of miracle, but that wasn't going to last long if they keep staring up at me with hungry black eyes ready to devour me.

"We decided," Rosalie continued, and it took my mind several moments to remember she'd been speaking not too long ago, "that when we took you, we would do so together."

I whimpered, nodding my head rapidly in response because yes, everything 'together' was a yes. I needed them so bad, everything was narrowing down to that pulsing ache in my core, yearning to be filled by my mates, for them and only them to have this part of me. I had never considered virginity as anything sacred, but the fact that it was these two women, my soulmates, who would take me for the first time made it feel special in a way that chimed deep in my soul.

Then, by the fucking gods, there was a cold tongue sneaking its way between my folds and and I couldn't hold back my scream of pleasure as I reached blindly, sinking my fingers into short, silky hair while cold hands returned to my breasts. Fuck, Alice's tongue was teasing every inch of me, circling my clit only to dip down to my opening before once again sliding back up. Then she was pulling away and my protest died on my lips as I looked down in time to watch as she grabbed Rosalie by the hair, pulling her into a kiss that had four separate moans filling the room; mine at once again watching my own two personal goddesses locking lips, Alice and Rosalie no doubt sharing my taste between them which had an embarrassing amount of moisture flooding between my thighs, and I could only guess at Leah's but I bet it was similar to my own. Either way, I was practically gagging for it at this point and they were definitely putting on a show, drawing out the kiss until I felt tears welling up in the corners of my eyes.

Whether they sensed my desperation or could smell my tears, both women broke apart only to stare at me with wide eyes and barely leashed hunger. "I think it's time we give our little Bella what she's been so patiently waiting for, what do you say, sis?"

Fuck, Alice once again calling to that adoptive bond had my insides quivering as I was once again back in that locker room, yearning for their touch. Then Rosalie had to speak, her husky voice doing terrible things to my control. "I think you're right. She's more than ready for us, what do you think, Leah?"

The surprise call to our voyeur wolf had me turning my gaze to the chair, finding Leah with one hand between get legs, the other practically abusing her breasts as she stared at my spread legs. "F-Fuck," she groaned, voice husky and deep. "She looks like she's been ready. Shouldn't keep your little human waiting too long."

Rosalie's grin was practically feral as she leaned down to repeat Alice's earlier performance, my back arching at the sudden attention to my needy core. I was so overwhelmed, so close, but somehow Rosalie managed to hold me right there on the edge without sending me over and I swear I wanted to cry. Then I felt Alice's hands pressing my thighs farther apart and two separate fingers were teasing my entrance. I forced myself to look down when Rosalie's tongue was replaced by a thumb as both girls worked to spread my lips. Their fingers synced up at my clenching entrance and it was then I realized what they'd meant by saying they were going to take me together.

I whimpered and nodded as they both looked up at me with questioning gazes. Their index fingers were lined up together and, as one, they began press into me with all the slowness and tenderness I had come to expect from them. Still, it was torturously slow and I tried to arch my hips only to have Rosalie's arm appear across my waist, holding me down. Strangely, it was Leah's panting voice that broke into the moment with an explanation.

"L-Let them move at their own speed," she husked, a keening moan interrupting her next words before she continued. "Trust me, it'll hurt less and be much more enjoyable for you."

I glanced at the wolf who was staring right back at me with hooded eyes. I had to consider that of all of us in the room, she would be the foremost expert on this subject considering she'd been human and with Sam. Nodding, I returned my gaze to my mates only to gasp as they pushed in another inch, their fingertips curling almost hypnotically and I certainly was falling under their spell because before I knew it they were pressing forward with a sharp tearing sensation that had my entire body tensing, a whimper slipping from me before I could hold it in.

Both fingers stilled inside of me, and through the pain I found cool lips and wet, soothing tongues tracing all around my thighs and over my mound, leaving small, teasing licks to my clit every so often that caused my body to bear down on the fingers still inside. It didn't hurt near as much as I thought it would, it was more surprising than anything, but their continued ministrations had my body relaxing as the pain faded to a dull ache that was quickly being eclipsed by the overwhelming pressure of having them inside of me at last.

I began moving my hips restlessly, hoping they would get the hint and start moving already because I don't know how I had held off so far but I was so close I couldn't think straight. Both women began immediately concentrating their oral efforts on my core, little bites and nibbles to and around my clit causing me to cry out my pleasure to the heavens as their fingers began to pick up a steady rhythm. Oh gods, everything felt so wonderful, so hypersensitive that even the slight brush of their hair against my thighs sent tingles shooting through my body. I was no stranger to orgasms but this was building towards something I'd never felt before and by the gods I wasn't sure I would survive but it was going to be one hell of a way to go.

I could just hear the wet sounds of Leah's own pleasure over the panting breaths of my mates between my legs. It didn't seem fair that they weren't getting anything out of this themselves, but the instance our eyes locked I knew that wasn't true. They were both somehow just as close as I was and the thought was nearly enough to put me over the edge. I wanted them there with me, needed it like my next breath, only I didn't have breath enough to ask so I pleaded with my eyes, my fingers slipping from the sheets and into their hair as I met them thrust for thrust.

Apparently they understood, as in the next moment their spare hands moved, not to their own cores, but to each others'. They both cried out in relief, Alice's voice pitched high as she keened while Rosalie practically growled, and with the addition of several rapid gasps from Leah and a repeated, "Fuck, fuck, fuck!" The spring that had been tightening in my abdomen broke loose with a sharp hiss of air that turned into an arching scream of completion so intense it felt as though my entire body were going up in the most pleasurable of flames. Heat and cries of orgasmic bliss were all I knew for what seemed like the next eternity as I was captured and held at the height of pressure, one orgasm building into another into another until I lost all concept of thought, where only my mates were there, flying high above the world with me in a perfect moment of oneness. The fact that our wolf girl was there for the ride was somehow comforting, lending a sense of safety and solidarity for when we finally landed back in our bodies.

The entire room was filled with panting breaths and interspersed with whimpers and moans of echoes of pressure. My body felt blissfully numb, though I knew from the intensity of that orgasm that I was going to be sore tomorrow. I didn't care, though, I'd go through a vampire change over and over again just to experience that sort of pleasure again. That is until my ladies slowly removed their fingers, a hiss of painful pleasure aching from my suddenly very sensitive body. It didn't help my trembling body when Alice and Rosalie stared in wonder at their fingers glistening with a mixture of my juices and hints of blood. In the next second the girls were looking at each other then at me as they brought their fingers to each others' lips and licked and sucked them clean. Both vampires groaned, the sounds coming out more like growls the more they consumed their own personal treats.

I was whimpering by the time they pulled away, their gazes lingering on mine for a moment before leaning back down to lick in and around my core, a gasp of pleasure bordering on pain hissing past my lips. They didn't stay long, luckily, because if they tried to start me going again I was sure it would likely end in fatality.

The sounds of movement by the door brought my attention to a smirking Leah standing there with a towel and a wet rag in both hands, holding them out to my mates. "If you're done being creepy vampires, you might try these next. The warmth will help with the pain but your cold temperature will help her with any swelling in or around her lady bits."

Both vampires rolled their eyes but accepted the cloths. While Alice began to carefully clean my aching body, Rosalie slid up to lie next to me, her cool body doing wonders for my overheated state. "So, my little darling, how do you feel?"

The warm rag was quickly exchanged for the towel, Alice's attentive touch soothing me as she finished cleansing what moisture remained. "I feel like I'm flying," I murmured, voice coming out scratchy after all the screaming I realize I'd been doing.

Alice finally settled my legs slowly onto the bed before joining us-inserting herself with her back to Rosalie's front, her petite form curling up delicately over my side. At my curious glance at the two smiling women, Rosalie reached over and patted the empty space on the other side of the mattress. "Get over here, pup," she teased, smirking at Leah who looked to be about to sneak out the door. She turned quickly to stare at the blonde, brows raised and a panicked look in her gaze. "Don't look at me like that. We're not inviting you into an orgy, but you bring comfort to our mate. Plus you don't reek like the rest of your Pack, so lay your ass down."

Leah opened her mouth several times to respond, but in the end she gave in when she met my hesitant smile. I could feel her warmth almost before she even laid down next to me, her poor feet dangling off the edge of my bed. She looked over my still naked body to the bare forms of my mates before bringing her arm down across my waist. When neither vampire looked ready to attack, I felt my body settle in comfortably between the juxtaposed ice and fire surrounding me. Between the sweet scents of my mates and the musky, natural scent of the wolf, I was good and relaxed and drifting off when the girls began talking quietly between them.

"Thank you," Leah whispered, voice as calm and peaceful as I'd ever heard it. "For letting me stay, for trusting me. I haven't felt this comfortable around anyone in a while."

I could feel movement from my right side, most likely Alice judging by the dulcet whisper that followed. "We're finding that Bella has a way of bringing people of certain persuasions together."

"We're not saying you have an open invite into our bed," Rosalie added, though the was a playful undertone to her whispered words that suggested otherwise, "But you're not half bad, Clearwater. We..." her voice trailed off, and when she continued there was an odd vulnerability to her voice as a cold arm crossed my waist close to the heat of Leah's. "...we trust you with our mate. We know you'll protect her and help us keep her safe, and that above all else means more to us than you'll ever know. However, break that trust and I'll wipe out your entire family line."

A snort from my left had a small smile coming up my lips. "Let's see about that rematch first before you go making threats, Barbie. I'm still 1-0."

As I finally felt the weight of the day crashing down on me, I fell into sleep with that same smile on my lips even as Rosalie's voice growled playfully, "I'm gonna kick your gloriously toned ass, Fido."

AN2: Again, I don't know what my posting schedule is going to be like after this chapter. This took so much effort to grind out, and I had everything for this chapter planned out up until imprinting and disillusionment of the treaty. Everything that followed was inspired on the spot and I am not sure what made me go that direction but I DO have plans for how this sordid affair will continue. I don't wanna give anything away but I did say I didn't plan to involve anyone else in the relationship and that mostly remains true. Voyeurism doesn't technically count in my book lol.

Well, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and I will continue writing in this direction regardless, so I hope I haven't disappointed anyone too much. Let me know what you think, if you hated it or loved it or just are wondering wtf I'm doing writing at all anymore (Bella-level self-confidence, I tell ya). Gonna cross-post this on Ao3, Wattpad, and ffnet (there are rumors of ffnet going down soon but until then I'll still post there), so where ever you are reading this, please leave me some comments and let me know I'm not the piece of garbage my mind keeps telling me I am. _
