The Rejected Imprint, The Accepted Mate. (Cover Is Made By My Bestie)

Edward's P.O.V

We've just returned to Forks after Alice and Isabella saved me from myself and the Volturi. As I put Bella in her bed I couldn't help but think back to Aro's words. Bella wasn't my mate? But my Blood Singer? How could I have misjudged this situation so badly, even Alice said she saw me with her.
Walking past Charlie and out the front door, I got in my car and drove home. Alice has some serious explaining to do.
Speeding into the house I saw everyone unpacking and smiling, even Rose.
"Alice!" I snapped when she came into view. "Aro told me Bella isn't my true mate, only my Blood Singer. Is this true?"
"Yes. But I swear I had no idea until about a week ago when I got a new vision!" She cried out. "Please believe me."
"Who is my mate Alice?" I growled as everyone stopped what they were doing.
"I can't." She whispered. "You have to find out on your own. But I do know that you can no longer be with Isabella. Because if you stay with her, your mate will reject you."
Growling I stormed out of the house to think. I had tried to read Alice's mind but she kept singing songs in different languages to hide her vision from me.
Everything is so messed up now! God! I ripped a tree up from the roots and threw it as hard as I possibly could, hoping it would make me feel better but it didn't.
Falling to the ground, I stared up at the stars and started thinking.
About her, my mate. What is she like? Is she nice? Will she accept the monster that I am? I feel guilty, because I brought Bella into this, believing she was my mate, and now she has to become a vampire. It's all my fault...

Jacob's P.O.V The next day...

I stormed into Sam and Emily's getting everyone's attention.
"The Cullen's are back." I growled. They all went stiff but none of them said anything. "I'm hello anyone else think we should do something about this!?"
"Oh just shut up!" Leah Clearwater, the newest shifter. "Just because your little Isabella is gonna go running back to them, doesn't mean we have to do shit! She's not even your mate! Or have you forgotten that your true imprint has been laying in her room, unconscious, for days!"
"Shut up Leah." I growled.
"No! You know what, everyone here is treating me like a piece of glass ready to break at a moment's notice because of Sam and Emily. Well guess what I'm not, okay!? I didn't understand before, about how he could hurt me, the person he was with for three years, the person he asked to marry him, over someone he just met. But I do now, his wolf sensed that I was connected to his mate some how and fixated on me. But when he shifted and found Emily, he knew. She was the one. You loved Bella because she was tied to your imprint, but you've convinced yourself that you hate your imprint on favor of the bond you formed with the middle-man. You are the one killing Lexi! She is dying because of you and you don't even care!" She snapped running out of the house shifting.
Looking out to where she had been I couldn't help but think, is she right? Is the only reason I love Bella is because she was tied to Lexi?

Carlisle's P.O.V

"You all know what I want," Bella spoke standing in front of my family. "And I thought it'd only be fair to put it to a vote."
"Bella please stop." Edward whispered. "You are going to regret this. I'm not your mate. I can't love you."
"And I understand that Edward, but it doesn't change the fact that I have to be turned now. The Volturi commanded it." She told him looking angry.
"Then why are we even voting?" Rose glared.
"Because, even if Edward and I aren't meant to be, I still want to be apart of this family. And forever is a long time so I thought that it would be best to vote on if I stayed with you guys and became a Cullen or if you guys would turn me and I would go off on my own. So, Alice?"
But before my daughter had a chance to answer our front door busted open and the pack came running in carrying a convulsing body.
"Carlisle! Please help her!" Sam called to me worried. Rushing forward I saw the person they were carrying was Lexi Swan.
"Quickly, follow me." I said rushing up to my homemade hospital room. "Lay her here. What happened!?"
"She's been under extreme stress lately, her boyfriend was killed by a vampire with dreads, Jacob imprinted on her and then rejected. But on the day of her boyfriend's funeral, Jacob brought that little bitch to our house." He sneered glaring at Bella who looked ready to kill. "After giving her some well deserved bruises we sedated her but she woke up about an hour later claiming she was feeling good then passed out. She's been unconscious for the last five days. And today she just started convulsing. We wanted to take her to a doctor sooner but..."
"But what?" I question looking at him like he was insane. "Lexi is human, she could have died!"
"Carlisle, Lexi, well she kind of, I'm shifted. Her biological mother was a part of our tribe. She had the gene. We couldn't take her to the doctor's because they would have found out she isn't human."
Pushing my confusion I quickly got her on her side so the liquid wouldn't enter her lungs.
"Edward-"
"I got it! Here!" He said handing me a syringe filled with the exact medicine I needed. I quickly injected her and waited for her seizure to subside.
"Edward I need you to clear out the room." I told him gently sitting her on her back. Turning around I saw Edward was still standing there, staring at Lexi as everyone looked at him. "Edward!"
He only growled at me and sped over to her and grabbed her hand. Wait a minute...
"MINE!" He growled glaring at everyone in the room especially Bella as she tried to come closer.
Just then Lexi shot up gasping and looking around confused, until her eyes connected with Edward's.

Lexi's P.O.V

"This is where I leave you." Taha Aki said, hugging me. We were standing in my room over my pale and sickly body.
"Will I ever see you again?" I asked, sad that we were parting ways.
"Perhaps." He smiled. "But for now, there are others who need you."
I turned to my body and let out a long breath before climbing on top of myself, wow that sounded weird, and just kinda flopped on my body.
At first it felt relaxing and calm but then, my body felt like it was on fire. I couldn't breath no matter how hard I tried. I was choking.
I could hear people yelling and I could feel hands grabbing at me.
I don't know how long this lasted but if felt like pure torture! But then I felt the tall tales sign of a needle piercing my skin. And slowly but surely I could breath again. I felt a cool hand holding mine, and I could hear someone growling from beside me.
I was finally able to move and shot up taking in big gulps of air, as I took in the unfamiliar surroundings.
Looking towards the person holding my hand, I caught their beautiful eyes of molten gold and just like that, everything else fell away.
No more Charlie, no more Isabella or Renee, no more or sadness. All that was left was him. This beautiful immortal creature who I would do anything for. I would be anything he needed. A friend, sister, a lover, it didn't matter. All that mattered was him. And no matter what I would do everything I could to protect him, to love him, to make him happy, whatever the cost, I would pay it just to be apart of his life.
"Hello." He smiled.
"H-hi." I whispered, blushing.
"Oh hell NO!"
