PREVIOUSLY-

He put his hands on my hips and pulled me toward him. "You chose me for this." He whispered.

"I did." I smiled at him, reaching up to run my fingers down the side of his face.

"You realize I have no idea what I'm doing, right?" He laughed nervously.

"You have info from the pack mind… that's more knowledge than I have. I told you that we'd figure it out together and we will. No overthinking, just go with what feels right." I said to him, continuing to run my fingers down his neck and bare chest before leaning in and pressing soft kisses up his collar bone to his neck.

"What feels right. Got it. I can do that." He said breathlessly before reaching down and lifting me up by the apex of my thighs, wrapping my legs around his waist as he carried me up the stairs toward his room.


SETH POV-

As we laid in the bed afterward, I'd never in my life felt happier. I could feel Bella's happiness too and that meant more to me than the world. What I'd just shared with her was incredible and most definitely special, just for us. A memory that I'd cherish for my entire life.

"How do you feel?" I asked her as I ran my fingers down her bare arm while she laid draped overtop of me.

She looked up at me and smiled. "I feel great. That was incredible."

I felt my heart swell at her words and I leaned down to kiss the top of her head.

"I agree." I whispered to her. "That was way better than anything the guys have ever mentioned in the pack mind."

It really was. Nothing they'd ever thought about in the pack mind could do that justice.

"How does it feel for you, being 16 and technically being married?" She asked me curiously, looking up at me with her big brown doe eyes.

I thought about it for a second. "It's – I guess it's hard for me to explain. I feel like I'm older than I am. I mean, I know my body is, but I feel like my brain is too. I don't feel 16. When my dad died and I joined the pack, I really had to grow up fast. Protecting the tribe is a huge responsibility. When I imprinted on you, my whole world stopped, Bella. My age doesn't matter to me. School doesn't matter to me. You and the pack are my top priorities. For me, I didn't need a piece of paper, and I still don't, that say you're my wife. You're my imprint, and to me an imprint means so much more than a normal human marriage. You're my wife, but more importantly you're my imprint, my mate. So in other words, it doesn't feel weird to me at all. It feels right."

She watched me in what I'd consider 'awe' as I explained it all out for her. It was the truth one hundred percent.

"And when you add Sam into things?" she questioned, biting down on her bottom lip.

"The best way I can think to explain it, is that Sam is my alpha. He'll always be my alpha. But at the same time, he's like another extension of you, if that makes any sense. Like here, with you, it's like the balance shifts. He's not in charge, you are. You, Bella Swan, are our alpha. Sam and I are on equal ground with you. When I'm a wolf, he's alpha. I'm yours but at the same time he's yours too. The age difference between me and Sam threw me a little at first but as of the current moment, you split the difference. I know in less than a month you'll be 19 and I'll still be 16 but two and a half years isn't really that bad in the grand scheme of things." I told her truthfully.

"So I'm the alpha, huh?" She asked, running her finger up my arm toward my chest.

"Yes. Definitely 100 percent yes." I murmured, breathing deeply as she pressed soft kisses to my chest. "And if you don't stop, my other alpha will not be getting his own wedding night because I'm going to keep you to myself and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be happy about that, especially because I can hear him getting closer in the woods."

I could hear Sam approaching in the woods, making a circuit around the house before phasing back human.

"He's back?" She asked me.

"Yep. He's coming inside now. Guess it's time for me to go patrol." I said as we both sat up.

"You know you don't have to leave…" She whispered in a way that made me bite back a groan as I stood, pulling on my shorts.

"I do this time, Bells." I said as she pulled on her shirt and only her shirt. "But remember, we have our whole lives now." I winked at her before picking her up bridal style and carrying her out of my room and into Sam's.

I sat her down on the bed and kissed her again before walking toward the hall.

Sam met me halfway down the hall and held out his hand for me to grab and pat each other on the back.

"Everything go alright?" He asked me quietly.

"Perfect. Thank you for that Sam, really. It meant a lot." I replied honestly.

"I know it did to her too." He said back to me.

"Have fun." I laughed as I walked down the stairs and outside to phase.

SAM POV-

I laughed at Seth's words before walking into my room, seeing Bella perched on the edge of the bed in nothing but a t-shirt.

She smelled like Seth but it didn't bother me. She was happy, I could feel that from her emotions as well as the expression on her face.

"Hi honey." I said, pulling her up to standing and wrapping my arms around her waist.

"Hey yourself." She replied as I leaned down to kiss her.

"How are you feeling?" I questioned, wanting to make sure she was okay before progressing to anything further.

"I feel great. Really Sam, I do. Seth was wonderful and it was perfect. I'm not really sore, at least not yet. I promise I'm fine to continue my night's activities." She replied before biting down on her lip.

I felt a rush of excitement run through my veins and I inhaled deeply at the prospect of being with my mate in every way.

"And you're sure?" I wanted a final confirmation.

"Positive." She replied excitedly.

I reached down and grabbed her bare thighs, lifting her easily to where her legs were wrapped around me as I carried her into the bathroom.

She looked at me in confusion as I sat her down and turned on the shower. "I thought showers were for after?"

I leaned down and kissed her hungrily before pulling back to tell her, "Not always."

She made an 'o' face and I could feel her intrigue at the idea.

Sure enough, after the shower had officially run cold, we stepped out and began to dry off.

"I have a completely new view of showering now. Between you and Seth, showers are officially my new favorite pass-time." She spoke while drying her hair.

I smiled brightly at her, officially the happiest I'd ever been. Everything about her was perfect. There was no jealousy whatsoever that Seth had been with her first. If anything, I was glad that he was. Bella was happy, I was happy, and Seth was happy. It was a win-win for all three of us.

After we both got re-dressed, I had her lay down in the bed.

"Seth is almost back." I informed her before turning to look out the window.

"Hey Sam?" She asked and I turned around immediately.

"Yeah, honey?"

"I know this probably sounds like a super weird request and maybe it is, but I just – can Seth maybe stay in here with us? I mean, ugh, you probably wouldn't wan—"

"Bella," I cut her off, causing her to look up at me. "If you want Seth to stay in here then he can. The bed is big enough. With you in the middle, I don't see a problem with it." I replied.

I had honestly known that she would request it and I didn't have a problem with it. I'd thought it through during my run and had made up my mind well before returning home. She was with both of us, mated to both of us. It wouldn't be fair to have her going in between beds night after night.

"Really?" She asked in a small voice as if she didn't believe me.

"Really. He's your other imprint. It wouldn't be fair if you didn't get both of us all the time." I said to her with a kiss.

"How can you both be so perfect?" She asked rhetorically.

I just laughed as I heard Seth come inside and up the stairs. Just as he was about to go back into his room, I called for him to come into mine.

"Everything good?" He asked, popping his head in the door.

"Come in." I told him, motioning for him to actually come inside the room.

He stepped inside and smiled at Bella before looking at me apprehensively and scratching at the back of his head.

"Bella has a request for you." I said to him.

His attention turned to her and she bit her lip like we both loved so much.

"A request?" Seth asked her.

"Will you stay?" She questioned him.

"Yeah, I was planning on staying here for the nigh—why do I have a feeling that's not what you meant?" He looked at her curiously.

"Because it's not. I want you to stay… like in here, with me." Bella replied to him with a small smile.

"And Sam?" He gave me a bewildered kind of nervous look and I laughed.

"Bella stays in the middle." I told him.

"Well then, if Sam's okay with it then I'm not going to pass it up." He replied happily.

Bella patted the bed on the opposite side of where I slept and he sat down, brushing a piece of hair out of her face before kissing her.


A/N- I'm back, bitches! JkJk... okay so I know I've been off the radar too long but I'm really trying. Let me tell you, mental health is no joke.

As for the story, since Seth is only 16 in the story, i don't feel comfortable making it rated 'M', so unfortunately, my lemon lovers will not be very happy. I'm sorry!

I hope you enjoyed it anyways.
