Embry's POV
I knew that he knew Trina was standing with me running her fingers through my fur. I couldn't even describe what it felt like to have her doing that. When she'd done it before in the woods, I'd been shocked. She wasn't even an ounce afraid of me as a wolf.
I licked her arm before running back off into the woods to phase back. When I came back out, Trina was waiting for me.
"What did he say?" She asked me curiously.
"He's coming back. Trina, if this is too much today, we can do it tomorrow. I know this is A LOT coming at you all at once... with what we talked about earlier, finding out about my imprint, Harry, Quil's imprint, the fact that I got sidetracked by Quil imprinting on you and wasn't able to fully finish my talk with Jake..."
"No, I have to do this today. You're right, it is a lot to take in. All of it. But if I don't do this now then all three of us will be worried about it until we get to talk. Now what happened with Jake?" She questioned.
"I told him that I imprinted on you and he was kinda furious about it, then the whole being over a month and no one telling him set him off even more... then before he could even reply I felt the other imprint and took off to find you." I told her, grimacing at the thought of how well that was going to play out.
"It's going to be a mess when he finds out about Quil too, isn't it?" She asked me worriedly.
"If he hasn't already. He was probably still phased when Quil phased in and who knows what was going through his brain... he was freaking out when I phased in." I told her.
"What was he saying?"
"He was chanting 'what the fuck do I do?' over and over again. Then he was worried I wanted to kill him for imprinting on you too." I replied.
"So you're really okay with me having more than one imprint?" She asked me, looking nervous.
"Trina, it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't meant to. It's not like Quil and I imprinted on each other too. That would be wayyy too weird. But my wolf isn't threatened by his imprint and he told me that his wasn't either." I reassured her. I knew the whole situation was weird and confusing, but I would be okay with whatever Trina was okay with.
Before she could respond, Quil yelled out from the forest. "Can one of you kinda, um, get me some shorts?" I laughed, grabbing a pair off Sam's porch and running them to him.
He walked behind me out of the woods and back up to where Trina was standing. I took my place next to her and Quil stood in front of us, scratching at the back of his head nervously.
"Uh, hi." He said to Trina, not really knowing exactly what to say.
"We have a lot to talk about." She told him and he swallowed nervously, nodding his head. She turned to me and asked, "Is there somewhere we can go that's a little more private?"
"We we can go to my place. Mom's working at the store until 10 tonight." Quil responded. "If you want."
"That sounds great to me. Embry?" She asked, looking over at me.
"Fine with me. Let's go." I told them both, motioning for Quil to lead the way. He didn't live too far away and we knew a shortcut through the forest to get there, so it wouldn't be too bad of a walk for Trina.
When we made it to Quil's he unlocked the door and we all walked inside.
"Do you guys want anything? I think we have some coke?" Quil asked us nervously.
"Sure. I'll take a coke." Trina told him with a smile while I shook my head no.
He walked back over and handed her a coke then we all congregated into the living room and sat down.
"I obviously know what happened on my end, so why don't you guys fill me in on everything else?" Quil spoke first.
"I guess I'll start from earlier today... So something happened to me that is even stranger than having two wolves imprint on you." Trina began. Quil looked over at me with a confused expression and I nodded to him, confirming what Trina had said.
"What could be stranger than that?" Quil asked her quickly.
"Uh, being sent back in time?" Trina replied nervously.
"Sent back in time?" He questioned with his eyebrows raised.
"I'm sure I sound crazy and I don't even know how Embry can believe it, but I was 6 months in the future this morning, or at least my consciousness was... it was August 12th for me." She told him. I reached over and squeezed her leg, letting her know it was okay to tell him where she was at the time. "It was the night before my wedding..."
Quil's eyes glanced to me and back to Trina.
"To who?" He questioned worriedly. I knew he was going to take it just like I had.
"...Edward Cullen."
Quil growled and I gave him a look that meant he needed to calm down.
"I didn't know about the imprints, Quil. I didn't know either of you had imprinted on me, if you even did in that other life. If you did then no one ever bothered to mention it to me. Trust me, I was upset enough that Embry had kept his imprint from me for a month." I winced at her words. "But for me to think that in the other life neither one of you ever told me? You both were just going to let me marry someone else, someone who is your sworn enemy?"
Quil and I both paled.
"I'm sorry. I just kind of realized that and I'm really only getting mad at your future selves from a timeline that can't even exist now. It's been a long day..." Trina sighed. "Listen. Embry, I get that Jake's one of your best friends and that you didn't want him to be upset. Quil, Embry and Jake are your best friends which makes it even harder. I can't even begin to imagine what kind of internal hurricane is going on right now for both of you, but we have to work together. All three of us."
I nodded in agreement.
"I don't get how you can possibly be so calm about all of this." Quil responded after a moment.
"Quil, you and Embry are giant wolves. I dated – almost married – a vampire. Now we can add consciousness time travel and a double imprint onto it. I learned a long time ago that nothing is impossible and the only thing I can do is roll with the punches and make the best of it." She explained. I had to admit I was amazed. Truly amazed.
"Roll with the punches. I can do that." Quil said, sounding like he was trying to convince himself.
"Alright. So you both imprinted on me. What's next?" Trina asked.
"I think the first thing we need to figure out is what you want from us, Trina. Like I told you before, we'll be anything you want or need us to be. Anything. But it's up to you." I reminded her.
"Why don't we just take things as they go? Like not put a label on anything yet. We've been friends for months now already. I know you both. I trust you both." She replied. "Oh and Quil?" he looked up at her, "I accept your imprint."
As soon as the words were out of her mouth it was like something snapped into place for all three of us. I couldn't explain it, but I felt even more connected to Trina than before. It was like my wolf had been waiting for the last piece of the puzzle to finally have the full picture.
"Whoa. That was a rush." Quil said before standing up and walking directly over to Trina, pulling her to standing position before wrapping his arms around her and breathing in her scent, just as I had when she'd accepted my imprint.
After a minute, he pulled away. "I'm totally sorry for just kind of ambushing you like that. I couldn't really help it." He then turned to me. "Bro, is it just me or does she smell like the best thing you've ever smelled in your life?"
"Definitely not just you. I agree one hundred percent." I told him. It was true. She smelled like the best thing in the world.
"I've been told I smell like some type of supernatural drug before." Trina said, embarrassed.
"This is on a whole different level, Trina." I told her honestly.
"Okay, so let's get back to the no labels, go with the flow thing." Quil said. "How is that going to work because I seriously feel like if Bella leaves the res, my wolf is going to flip shit. And you know, she kind of lives off the res."
I knew he'd freak out about it. Hell, even I was still freaking out about it. It'd been hard enough to stay away before and even then, I was spending most nights laying in the forest next to her house as a wolf.
"Work in progress." I muttered to him.
"I've already told Embry and Sam that I'd try to be down here as much as possible outside of school. Maybe if I got a job here or something?" Trina suggested.
"My mom has been trying to find some help for the store... she knows about the pack, so she'll know about the imprints too." Quil offered. It was a good idea.
"Do you think she'd hire me?" Trina asked him.
"Definitely. You're my imprint. She'll understand why we need to have you here and she'll get the help she needs at the store." Quil was excited, I could tell. "Mom's gonna love you."
"Maybe I can meet her tomorrow?" Trina asked.
"Definitely."
"So hopefully that's one thing out of the way." I mentioned.
"Are we all good?" She asked the both of us. Quil and I looked at each other and nodded in an unspoken agreement.
"We're good, Trina." I told her with a smile. "We'll figure it all out."
