Chapter 3
Disclaimer: I do not own anything but student loans…
Jacob sat frozen in horror and fear as the two vampires faced each other in a combative way. Jasper's eyes turned towards his own for an instant and he felt calm and comfort wash over his entire being. The young shifter relaxed back into the head board at peace until he heard a low hiss from the other vampire in the room. Jacob whimpered as pain slowly made its way up his spine. He threw a pleading look at the blond and Jasper stepped toward him. In a blurred flash and crash the two vampires were gone from the room by way of the window. Jacob's pain increased tenfold and he started to lose consciousness.
.*.*.*.
Edward lands under Jasper with the older man's hand around his neck. The blond uses the other hand to pull the long triangular piece of glass out of his back. The familiar sight of blood lust enters the southerner's eyes and Edward struggle's increase against what seems to be an unbreakable grasp. Edward hisses and uses his talon like fingers to dig into the bleeding cut of his opponent. Jasper howls in pain and catches Edward's arm and breaks it into two.
The blonde's eyes darken with murderess intent but sooner than he could carry out the sentence, he felt teeth bite down into his shoulder ripping him away from the darker haired man. Before he could react another wolf was on top of his body, pending him to the ground. Edward was up in an instant popping his arm back into place and moving again toward Jasper.
"Enough." Was the only word that he heard as the other wolves gathered between him and his sister's lover. He was still enraged but he could not disobey the command of his sire. Carlisle did not raise his voice often but the anger that he heard in that single word, sent a shiver up his spine. Edward took an unneeded breath then turned to face his maker. Carlisle face held a frown but other than that the doctor did not show any of his displeasure. "Edward, return home." Were the only words spoken before the bronze haired vampire left in a flash.

Carlisle ran his hand through his blond hair and looked other to Sam. "Tell them to keep Jasper down until he calms. Do not allow him to leave until I return from my appointment with Jacob." Sam nodded in understanding. The oldest vampire in the Olympic coven was unsure of what happened between his two sons. He put the thoughts of his children aside as he entered the Black residence. He walked up the stairs into the young wolf's room. He saw Billy Black holding one of his son hands and Bella looking out the window a confused expression upon her face.
"You people were suppose to come and help my son. Now look at him." Billy said sadly, his face never leaving his son.
"My apologies for my sons' behavior, they were indeed meant to help your son but something seems to have happened." Carlisle paused. "Please allow me to examine your son." Billy did not speak, he only rolled himself a little out of the way to allow room for the vampire to reach Jacob. "Bella," Carlisle said softly. "Could you wait down stairs for me to finish and I will take you home." Her only response was to leave the window and proceed down stairs. Carlisle got to work.
Carlisle finally got Billy to leave the room to go check on Bella. Then he gave the wolf a physical before speaking again. "Jacob how long are you going to pretend to be unconscious?"
.*.*.*.
"I was not pretending at first." Jacob responded while opening his eyes.
"Would you like to tell me what happened here. I will keep as much as I can between you and I." Carlisle said taking a seat next to Jacob's bed. Jacob was calmed by Carlisle's soft mannerisms. The wolf side of Jacob felt no ill intent from the vampire, so Jacob decided to confide in him.
"Wolves go through a process called imprinting that decides who they are going to spend the rest of their life with. I imprinted more than a week ago." Carlisle nodded but did not speak. "I imprinted on your son Edward." He confessed.
"I understand." The blond said simply. His voice held no judgment and Jacob saw such kindness and understanding in his eyes that his own eyes burned with unshed tears. "We shall deal with this together, since we are going to be family." Jacob hesitated before he spoke again.
"There is more," Jacob hesitated but Carlisle nodded for him to continue. "When Jasper entered the room, he kissed me." Carlisle frown in understanding. "And I think, I… I imprinted on Jasper too." The silence was deafening.
"Is that possible?" Carlisle asked.
"I have never heard of something like that happening in the tribe before but I know it is happening to me. My body and soul now screams for Jasper the same way they screamed for Edward for nearly two weeks. I will not survive long without them. My heart calls for them both but I know that it can never be." Jacob replied despairingly.
"Why is that?" Carlisle asked gently a knowing look in his eyes.
"They were fighting before I" Jacob grimaced. "fainted. I do not want them to hurt one another, not over me." Jacob turned away from Carlisle as he felt the first few tears slip past his defenses.
"Jacob," Carlisle whispered, he waited for Jacob to turn to him. "Did you know that vampires have things such as soul mates too?" Jacob shook his head no. "Well, we do. When the bond is first activated, the two must fight."
"Why?" Jacob asked, confused.
Carlisle's eyes took on an intense look and he finally spoke. "For dominance."
