Chapter 40 Telling Bells

"You're getting married?" Bella asked in shock, her brown eyes darting back and forth between them both.

"Yes," Jacob said calmly.

"Don't you think it's a little to soon?"

"No," Edward answered, pulling his shifter closer into his arms, tousling his hair affectionately at the same time that Jake added more.

"I know what I want. I love him, Bells. I always have. This whole Imprint thing just gave me the courage that I needed to try."

"But… You wanted me as more then a friend."

"No, I never did. I was trying to forget Edward, as you were. What I did to you was wrong, and I'm sorry. I hope that you can forgive me, and that you'll come to our wedding."

"Oh, Jake… Of course I'll be there. I'll bring Seth."

"Um, I don't mind, but why?"

"Because, I'm Seth's Imprint."

"Really? Congratulations."

"Thank you."
