What if Someone gave you the chance to change your past? On the day of her wedding Bella learns a shocking truth. Will she change her future?

Chapter 1-

I woke up sweating. Another nightmare. The Volturi had come to attack us. This was a constant fear in my life. I was glad that Edward had finally agreed to change me post our marriage. Today was the big day. Never had I thought that I would get married at 18. Renee always said that getting married before 30 is a mistake. The only thing I can hope is that I am not making a mistake. I love Edward, maybe taking nuptials and sealing it is not really my thing but I do want an eternity with him. I got out of bed and went downstairs to grab a bite. I had to leave for Edward's place in an hour. I was going to get dressed over there. Obviously Alice was on the verge of hyperventilating. She was radiating excitement. I loved the pixie. She was my best friend. Yes I did have some unresolved grudge against her and Edward for leaving me like they did but when you love someone you can't stay angry on them for long. Charlie had gone to the station to complete some work and Renee was already at the Cullens. My harebrained mother was going neurotic thinking about the arrangements. Suddenly the door bell rang. I wasn't expecting anyone. Maybe Alice decided to pick me up earlier than decided.

I opened the door to a grief stricken Emily and an equally grim looking Jared.

"Emily, Jared. Is everything okay?"

I was surprised to see them. I had never actually spoken to Jared and since the Cullens returned I had hardly seen Emily. But the Pack had done so much for me in these past few months. I would do anything to repay them.

"Actually no. It is okay right now. But it won't be in a few hours" said Jared sighing

"Wait. What is wrong?" I asked confused

"Paul" Emily replied

I was even more confused. What did I have to do with Paul? Apart from the time when I had slapped him, I had hardly spoken to him.

"What about him?"

"He will die if you get married to that leech" said Jared. I could hear the anger in his voice.

"Wait what" I asked. This was sounding more and more like a Jigsaw puzzle. What did Paul Lahote have to do with my marriage?

Emily was literally crying by now. Even Jared had a few tears in his eyes.

I made her sit on the couch and sat beside her. Jared was standing at the window looking outside, probably checking for threats.

"Emily just tell me. Will you?"

"Imprint Bella" said Emily

"I know what an Imprint is Emily. Jacob has told me but what does this have to do with me?"

"Dammit. That idiot Paul imprinted on you when you slapped him months back. We told him to tell you but that asshole does not listen to anyone. You die, he dies" shouted Jared

I could not believe what I was hearing. Paul imprinted on me. Why didn't he tell me?

"Why didn't he tell me?" I asked almost in a whisper

"It is complicated Bella" said Jared

"Try me" I almost snarled at him. I needed answers and I needed them now

"Bella, Paul has had a very shitty childhood. His mom left him and his dad when he was three. His father was an alcoholic who used to beat him. He lives in a worn down apartment on the reservation. He cannot leave the reservation because he is a protector. He hardly has money for clothes and food. He does not own anything expensive, not even a TV." Said Emily

"I am sorry Emily. No one should go through all this but that still doesn't explain why he didn't tell me."

"Because he loves you and could not tie you down to him. That Jackass always argues that you deserve much better than him and when you have someone like Cullen why would you want a poverty stricken guy like him, who cannot give you anything" said Jared sighing

He loves me.

"Since when?" I asked

"Since when what?" asked Jared

"Since when does he love me?"

"Months. He loved you even before the leeches came back. Hell he loved you even when we were chasing Victoria"

I was stunned in silence. I did not know what to say.

"If you become a vampire, Paul will die Bella. He is a very good person once you get past his anger. He does not deserve this. Please Bella. I am begging you" said Emily

"I love Edward Emily"

"Do you really think Edward is your mate Bella?" asked Jared

I was shocked at his tone. Who was he to ask me such a question?

"I know he is my mate"

"You are wrong. Look I accept I know nothing about leeches and their mates but I know this much. You cannot live without your mate. How did he live without you for so many months? Hell even Paul cannot stand to be away from you. He used to sleep outside your window before your precious leeches came back and since they have come back, he hardly sleeps. He tries to hide it but I am his best friend I know"

"Who all knew about this? Oh my god Jake. Did he know?"

"No one knows except me, Sam and Jared. Sam alpha ordered Paul" said Emily

"Okay now what. I feel terribly bad for Paul but I am getting married today. Alice will be here in exactly 20 minutes to pick me up. I love Edward and I can't leave him at the altar"

Emily and Jared shared a look before Emily spoke "Give him a chance Bella. You have no idea how much he loves you"

"It is too late Emily"

"We have a way" said Emily

"What way?" I looked at them with a raised eyebrow

"Quil's grandfather Old Quil is a shaman. He has this potion which can take you in the past to rectify your mistake" said Jared

"Edward and my love is not a mistake" I said. I needed to clarify our relationship

"Okay Bella how about this? You give Paul a chance. If you still love Edward more, no one will stop you"

Emily looked at me pleadingly. Even though I didn't know Paul, the thought of him dying was painful. Maybe I can give this a try.

"Okay. I will drink the Potion but if it does not work out. I will go back to Edward" I said making my point clear.

Jared and Emily both nodded before Jared produced a small bottle filled with a green liquid.

I took a minute to calm myself. I removed Edward's ring and placed it in the drawer under the TV. I mentally said goodbye to my fiancée, best friend and my would have been now ex future family. I took the bottle from Jared and after looking at Emily and Jared once gulped it down.
