Bella MacLeod's Twilight Fanfiction

How To Tell Your Imprint That She’s Your Imprint

By Mama4Dukes

Chapter 04:

Jared’s POV

Shit, she’s falling for their vampire eye voodoo thing. They’re walloping her with it. What the fuck am I going to do? I could feel her trying to leave my arms. Desperately, I turned Bella to face me, smiled at her, then abruptly sunk my teeth into that fleshy area between her neck and shoulder, claiming her as mine in the middle of the prom. A little caveman-ish, I know, but I couldn’t think of anything else to do. Rather than cry out, she moaned at the feeling of the mark, and snuggled in closer to me. Great! Now, my dick was twitching in my pants. As my scent infused with hers, I was overcome with the most serene feeling. I felt bonded to Bella, as if the spirits were intertwining our souls.

Quil and Embry were staring at me in absolute shock. Then, finally, they put their imprints behind them and blocked Bella and me from the leeches.

After caring for her wound, I released my teeth from Bella’s flesh, then smiled at my imprint.

Bella tilted her mouth towards me for a kiss. Of course, I couldn’t deny her anything, so I dropped my lips onto her sweet, soft pout and relished in the feeling of connecting with my imprint.

“You ruined her! You permanently infused her with your scent,” Edward snarled in a whisper.

Alice had a satisfied smile on her face, “Edward, the mutt broke the treaty. He bit a human. We can destroy him.”

“Nah-uh, the treaty states that you fuckers can’t bite a human. It doesn’t say a damn thing about us. We can bite whomever the fuck we want,” Embry stated, snapping his teeth at them.

“Treaty’s off. You tried to use your mind voodoo on my mate. Tell the rest of your family. Get the hell away from me and my imprint,” I growled.

“You can keep her. Her blood is ruined anyway. She’s really just a worthless human now,” Edward sneered.

“The only worthless piece of shit I see here is you. Now leave! And don’t bother us again!”

The two leeches glared at us and left the prom. “Um, where the hell are our imprints?” Quil asked, looking around the gym.

Holy fuck, Bella, Lauren, and Jessica were no longer in the high school gym. A minute later, we heard a car alarm going off and Edward Cullen screaming like a girl. Embry, Quil, and I ran to the school parking lot, where we found our imprints smashing the windshield and headlights of the bloodsucker’s Aston Martin with Embry’s baseball bats. Alice and Edward tried to stop the girls when Sam, Paul, and Jake suddenly appeared out of the woods dressed in their cut-offs. Sam crooked two fingers and motioned for the girls to come to him. They rushed over, and they were immediately placed behind them for protection. They were adorable-all three were in their prom gowns and had their baseball bats swinging.

“Problem?” Sam asked.

“No, no problem at all. We were just leaving,” Alice replied quickly.

“And will we be seeing you around these parts again?”

“No, never.”

“I was just making sure.” Sam nodded his head and narrowed his eyes menacingly at them.

The two of them climbed into the damaged Aston Martin and drove away.

“What the hell were you three thinking?” Sam questioned angrily.

“We weren’t, so deal with it,” Lauren quipped. “Gee whiz, you’d think the great alpha would know us better by now.”

“Hey!” Bella said to Paul. “You’re supposed to be in Seattle.” What the hell does my imprint see in Paul anyway? No one gets along with him, but for some reason, Bella does.

“Obviously, it got canceled. That’s why I’m here.”

“Embry, Quil, take the girls back inside. Keep an eye on them this time. Then, Jared, you tell us what happened.”

I walked into the woods with Sam, Paul, and Jacob to explain what had happened at the prom.

“Are you saying you marked her without telling her you’re her imprint?”

“I was desperate! They were using their mind voodoo shit on her.”

“Geez! You have to tell her!”

“Duh, don’t you think that I want to? I just don’t know how to tell her.”

“Oh, my God! Just tell her that’s what I did with my imprint,” Paul said.

“You don’t have an imprint.”

“He imprinted tonight… on my sister,” Jacob sighed glumly.

“Yeah, Billy threw the mother of all temper tantrums,” Sam chuckled, “but Paul told Rachel immediately. You do realize that aside from me, you’re the only one who has marked his imprint. The only difference is that Emily knows she’s my imprint and lives with me.”

“Okay, so I did things a bit backward. So, sue me.”

“She’s gonna feel the pull now, and it will hurt. You won’t be able to sleep away from each other.”

“How the hell are we going to work that out? We’re both in high school still, and we live at home with our parents. On top of that, Chief Swan is overprotective. You have no idea about the interrogation I was put through when I picked her up for the prom. He even had us followed by four different cop cars.”

“Well, you should have thought about the consequences before marking your imprint before she even knows she’s your imprint!”

I folded my arms in front of my chest and pouted.

“What happened after you claimed her in front of the Cullens?” Jacob asked.

I told them everything that transpired afterward, especially what Edward said about me tainting her blood and how he thought she was now worthless. Thank God, he said it in too low of a tone for her to hear. It was such a cruel and vicious statement.

“I will have Billy call the head leech regarding the treaty. I personally feel that the two bloodsuckers were after Bella’s blood. However, I think that you did the right thing by marking her. You permanently changed her scent,” Sam stated. “Alright, get back to the prom. And tell Bella about the imprint, for God’s sake!”

The prom ended after a couple more hours, and we all headed our separate ways. Embry and Quil were headed to First Beach with their imprints. I didn’t want to take Bella there yet. I needed to talk to her.

I started up my mom’s car and drove towards Bella’s house. She immediately asked me, “Jared, why did you bite me?”

“I… um… I didn’t want the Cullens to use their mind voodoo on you.”

“Is that what they were doing?”

“Yeah, Bella, they were trying to will you to bend to their commands. That’s why they kept looking into your eyes. They were trying to hypnotize you.”

“So, you distracted them by biting me?”

“Uh, yeah, kind of, but…”

“Thank you for keeping me safe,” Bella interrupted, kissing me on the cheek.

“You’re welcome. I’ll always keep you safe.” I took her hand in mine and smiled at her as I pulled into the driveway of her house.

“I had fun tonight, Jared. I really did. Thank you for taking me to the prom.”

“I had fun, too. But I have to ask you something. I was wondering…”

Tap! Tap! Tap! I turned to my window and saw Chief Swan standing there, glancing at his watch. I unrolled the window and greeted, “Hello, Sir.”

“Are you done yet? You’ve been parked for over a minute already.”

“Daddy, Jared was about to ask me something.”

“Well, ask,” Chief Swan prompted.

God damn it! Fucking overprotective… cockblocking… stupid… grrr…

I put a smile on my face, and asked, “Bella, would you be my date for my senior prom next weekend?”

“Um, I don’t know about next weekend, Jeffrey. I think we might be a little busy,” Chief Swan replied.

“Daddy, you know that I don’t have plans!”

“Can’t you make some? Something that doesn’t involve boys. Besides, something might come up. I thought we could go on a road trip together somewhere far away.”

“Daddy!”

“Fine.” He sighed. “You can go to Jeffrey’s shindig if you’d like.”

“I’d love to go to your prom with you,” Bella replied.

“Really?”

“Yes, really.”

“Alright, then I’ll call you tomorrow to make plans.”

“That would be nice.”

I exited the car, went around, and opened the door for Bella. I walked her to her front door. Chief Swan, of course, was bringing up the rear.

“Daddy, would you give us a minute?”

“Sure,” he replied and stared at the second hand of his watch.

“I’d like some privacy to say goodnight to Jared.”

“You already did that in the car, didn’t you?”

“Daddy!” she huffed.

“Fine, I’ll be inside cleaning my rifle.”

“I’m sorry about my father. He’s been overprotective since I dated Edward-not that I blame him.”

“It’s okay.”

“So, prom next weekend?”

“Yeah, prom.”

I pulled Bella into my arms and gave her a lingering kiss. Then, we abruptly pulled apart when we heard the door handle jiggling and the porch lights flickering on and off.

“I’d better go inside.” Bella’s face was flushed entirely pink from our kiss.

I gave her one more kiss and watched her walk inside. I was on top of the world. I can’t believe she agreed to go to my prom with me! I headed back to my mother’s car. Before I got there, Chief Swan turned the lawn sprinklers on, and I got drenched.

“ Daddy! That was mean!” I heard Bella chastising me from inside the house.

“ What? I didn’t do a thing. The sprinklers are on an automatic timer.”

Yeah, sure they are. No one in their right mind waters their lawn in Forks. It rains two hundred eleven days on average per year here.

Twenty minutes later, I arrived back in La Push. I’m positive that I had a skip in my step when I walked in through the front door. My little brothers were already sleeping. It was just my mother and father that were awake. But when I looked a little closer, I noticed that Billy Black, Sam, Jacob, Paul, Old Quil, and Harry Clearwater were there too.

“How was the Forks High Prom, dear?” my mother asked.

“Great. Bella’s coming to my prom next weekend.”

“Oh, good. So, we finally get to meet her?”

“Yep, well, I’m going to bed now.”

“Not yet, son.” My father had a grave expression on his face. “Come and sit down. We need to talk to you.”

“Okay.”

I pulled a chair up and sat in it. “So, Jared, did you tell Bella about the imprint yet?”

Oops, I knew I forgot to do something. “Um, not yet.”

“Why not?”

Because I was cockblocked by her father. “Chief Swan interrupted our talk.” I figured the truth was best at this point.

“Jared, you need to tell her. You’ve already marked her, and she will start feeling the…”

I interrupted Sam by asking, “Mom, do you have any Tums? I think I have heartburn or something.”

“Wolves can’t get heartburn, Jared,” Sam stated.

“Well, I can. I have it now, and it’s awful. I can barely breathe. Maybe I’m having a heart attack? Do we have a history of heart disease in our family?”

“It’s the pull, Jared. I told you that you wouldn’t be able to stay away from her.”

“Well, this sucks! I can’t just walk up to her and tell her I’m her imprint. She’ll think I’m a freak.”

“Why not? You marked her without saying a thing.”

“That was different. It was done out of desperation! She’s mine, and the leech was trying to steal her from me!”

“As a parent, I can’t believe I’m going to say this,” Harry said. “Jared, you’ll have to sneak into her room at night.”

“I can’t do that. I’m in high school still, and so is Bella. What will our parents think?”

“Jared, mom, and I are sitting right here. We’re giving you permission to sleep next to your imprint. But, not with… next to, there’s a difference,” my father said.

“Bring condoms, just in case,” my mother added.

“At least you don’t need a dental dam like Quil probably does with his imprint,” Paul piped in and smirked.

“What’s a dental dam?” my mother asked Paul.

For some reason, he looked at me. Nah-uh, I’m not digging him out of that hole. “You tell her,” I told him. “You brought it up.”

“It’s um… um…” Paul became flustered while looking at my mother. “It’s like a condom for the mouth.”

“Why would anyone need that?”

“For uh… hmm… um…” my father stuttered as he tried to explain its use. “It’s used to protect against sexually transmitted diseases.”

“For your mouth?”

Aw man, this was so embarrassing. All of the guys were looking anywhere but at my mother. Old Quil seemed as confused as she did, though.

“It’s for performing oral sex.”

“Ah… oh… oh… oh my,” my mother said. “Quil is… he… does he, on his imprint?”

“Don’t most guys?” Paul questioned.

“I wouldn’t know from experience,” my mother humphed, glared at my father, and then turned to me. “Jared, have you had oral sex?”

“MOM!”

“JANE!” my father chastised at the same time.

“I want Jared to be able to come to me with any problems he may have!”

“Jane, the only problem that Jared seems to have is a case of receding balls when it comes to his imprint.”

“Yes, and it’s obvious he gets that problem from you. My family has always been straightforward.”

“Why did my grandson have to imprint on Lauren Mallory? Why couldn’t it be Bella Swan?” Old Quil lamented.

“Hey, how do you think I feel? I’ve got Kim and Paul,” Billy spat.

“What the hell is wrong with me? You like me, Billy,” Paul protested.

“Yeah, you keep thinking that, boy.”

“Enough! Jared, how are you feeling now?” Old Quil asked.

“Like crap.”

“Phase and go to her house. You’ll have to sleep in wolf form in the woods, next to her house. And tell her about the imprint, for God’s sake!”

“Billy and I will talk to Charlie about the imprint. I believe it’s time to let him in on the secret, as well as Tiffany Call,” Harry said. “Joe, maybe you should come fishing with us tomorrow, too.”

“Sure,” my father said. My dad usually went fishing with his own group of friends.

“Shouldn’t you guys wait until Jared tells Bella about the imprint?” Paul asked.

“You’re going to do it tomorrow, right?”

“Absolutely!” I replied with confidence.

“Alright, now go and phase and sleep by the Swan residence. You’ll feel better that way.”

“Shouldn’t he bring a blanket or something with him? What if it gets cold?” my mother asked worriedly.

“He’s going to be in wolf form, Jane.”

“Wolves can still get cold, Joe” my mother insisted.

We all stared at my mother with horrified expressions on our faces. I shuddered a little and ran upstairs to change my clothes so I could get to my imprint’s house quickly.

As I left my house, my mother called after me waving a long, thin box in the air, “Jared, honey, at least take some Saran Wrap with you! I have no idea where to purchase those dental dam things!”
