Selene

“No, i don’t like this one,” I snapped at the maid who showed me the silver necklace topped with emeralds. Was she trying to incite my anger? Everyone knew that gold was my color and I didn’t like silver.

It was such an inferior metal compared to my tastes.

I thought of Keileigh, that GIRL that still hadn’t left the house despite my warning her to. She was more deserving of inferior things.

“Tomorrow, send all my silver pieces to that girl,” i ordered one of the maids. “She will accept it as a show of goodwill.”

If she didn’t accept it, that would be a sign that she don’t like me and I could use it as a ruse to throw her out, and defend myself from her.

“Yes, madam,” the maid bowed, while I closed my eyes as another patted eyeshadow onto my lids.

I still had no idea why the party was being held. Ryker - who usually didn’t host parties like Arnold did - was the one to order Kara to prepare for the gathering. I had only been informed of it afterward.

Perhaps Ryker had something t

    KeileighI walked behind Kara who led me to the hall I didn’t know was here before. The faint sounds of music slowly swelled up, increasing in volume as I approached it.I felt like I was walking into a situation I didn’t know, and it wasn’t by choice. Why did the two Alphas of the pack throw this party? And why was I invited? I tried my best to inform Kara before, that I wouldn’t be attending and I even protested when the maids had tried to make me change out of my clothes. But in the end it was for nothing.The older woman told me in no uncertain terms that I had no choice. It was an order from Alpha Ryker that she got me ready and she would be punished if she disobeyed his orders. I had a feeling that the woman was bluffing a little but I didn’t have the heart to call her bluff in case she ended up actually getting punished.My blue dress swished around as I walked. I hadn’t been decked in jewelry like this since I reached my majority and my father threw a large party that lasted n

    SeleneThings were definitely not going according to plan!And I blamed that girl!I stood in between Arnold and Ryker as they locked eyes angrily with each other. The brothers were about to fight, and it was all because of Keileigh.I smiled at a guard and informed them, “Send everyone out at once. This is a private conversation.”The guard nodded and before anything else could happen, they had already begun to make sure the pack members had exited the large hall.“This is enough,” I said to Ryker and Arnold, as they kept growling at each other. “You both can’t fight like this in public. Please.”Arnold snarled, “I have no desire to fight you brother, but if you keep on mentioning that girl’s name then-““Then what?” Ryker cut his twin brother off, before I could say anything.I cleared my throat, and Ryker’s eyes fell on me as it should.“Ryker, please think this through,” I simpered. “Your brother is right. We don’t know this girl. She may have bad intentions, and-“I reached out

    KeileighI was in my bedroom now, my body shaking and the memories of the party coming back to me.I had caused the two Alphas to fight.That shame and guilt built up in me that I found I was trembling.After Ryker had taken me out of the party hall I had refused to go anywhere else with him because somehow I couldn’t stand it. Somehow that act of his had been the one to make me snap out of the way I had been frozen, watching everything go like it were from a book.I ran away from him and locked myself in my bedroom.I thought that would help me think more clearly and figure out what to do.But it had only made me become more lost.My stomach churned uncomfortably and I felt like I was the harbinger of bad luck to this mighty pack. There was no other way to describe how two brothers would suddenly be at odds once I came into the picture.As tears prickled my eyes I heard the knock on the door.Wiping my eyes I quickly stood up, wondering who it might be. I was left gaping afterwards a

    RykerKeileigh’s words weren’t the only thing that struck a chord deep into me. The sight of her with tears running down her cheeks made my chest hurt and I knelt down to grasp her chin but she slapped my hand away and stood up immediately, to my shock.“Stay away from me,” she demanded as she put considerable distance between us, quickly moving to the corner of the room.She sniffled and tried to wipe at her cheeks and eyes, but all it did was make them even redder.“Keileigh, tell me what’s wrong,” I implored my mate, seeing how distressed she was. I hated to see her that way. What could have gone wrong?“Are you happy now?” She snapped at me, her voice full of anger and frustration and pain. “You do things without caring how everyone will take it. You planned this didn’t you? The party, and that announcement. You did all that, and you made such a fuss over nothing!”I blinked slowly as my mind processed the things she was saying.“Are you upset about that?” I asked her as gently as

    KeileighThe next morning I opened my eyes blearily and slowly sat up on autopilot. It took me some time of blank staring in front of me to realize i had just woken up.I looked down at myself and saw I was still wearing the dress from the previous night’s Larry and confusion filled me for a second or two before I remembered the events of what had happened. A groan slipped from my lips and I teased my head into my hands.The party had been a disaster, hadn’t it? And after that Selene had come to my room to threaten me. I had broken down.My face warmed up on recalling how Alpha Ryker had gently held me and comforted me in a slow and deep soothing voice while I cried.“Oh no,” I groaned, my voice muffled.Why had I done that? Why had I let Alpha Ryker see me like that? And worse, why had I let him comfort me? I remembered his warmth as I pressed my face into his chest. His clavent had been somehow calming even when I didn’t want it to be. My mind had warred with my heart then, and I lo

    RykerThe afternoon meeting with the warriors was finished and the patrol teams had made it back safely.Arnold and I were walking back in silence. To say the atmosphere between us was tense was a damn understatement. I had hardly spoken to my twin brother ever since we went together to meet with the warriors of our pack, other than a greeting.It was a shame we were not in agreement over so many things that we would fight this badly, but this was categorically not my fault. It was Arnold who was always so reactive and had lashed out in the way he did.I expected the walk back would be just as quiet, when Arnold cleared his throat out of the blue.“You must be glad, Ryker,” he sounded accusatory. “Selene has been difficult to console all morning. That you would abandon our Lady like that, when she has done so much for us, and hand on to that girl… it’s such a shame, brother.”I could tell he was holding back a lot of anger from the way that his tone sounded biting even when he tried t

  • 180 days with the Twin alphas   DO NOT TOE YOUR LINE

    RomanI walked down the hallway towards the Alpha Ryker’s study. I hadn’t come here since the surprise party - at least it was a surprise to me - where Keileigh was announced to be their mate.I grit my teeth and tried to not appear too upset by the thought of those events. I had not expected Alpha Ryker to be so spontaneous and act that way. If I had an idea that would happen I would have found a way to convince Keileigh to instead stay by my side.Mate bond be damned, I would have never let Alpha Ryker or Alpha Arnold touch her.But no matter.This was just another reason for me to bring the two brothers down by force and destroy everything they held dear.I got to the door of the study and was about to open it but my hand stopped halfway when I heard Ryker’s voice.He was speaking about… jewelry?I continued to listen and then heard him order Kara to bring a jeweler here, likely to get something made for Keileigh.I scowled at the thought. Show off. Did he think he could simply win

  • 180 days with the Twin alphas   AFTERNOON WARMTH

    KeileighThe warmth of the afternoon combined with how comfortable the chair was, made my body feel relaxed and my eyes heavy.I shifted in my seat, forcing myself to stay awake through sheer will. I hated having naps these days, because of the nightmares I had been having.Therefore I did whatever I could to keep myself occupied. Normally Roman would have shown up by now but perhaps he was busy today for he didn’t even come by to check up on me.The afternoon, try as hard as I might was quickly becoming boring. At least, I thought to myself, eyeing the book I had tried to finish reading but dropped a couple of minutes later, Alpha Arnold and Selene hadn’t been a black spot in my morning today.At least I had gone longer without hearing their snide remarks about me, especially Selene’s that often seemed worse than Arnold’s at times. At least with Arnold he never hid his true emotions in public. But with the self-acclaimed Lady of the House, she had a small smile on her face most times

Jake was arrested and we headed back home. Jake was beyond shocked that things would take a turn like that in such short time.A couple of minutes ago, I was doubting if I would live again and he was acting all powerful, just like the same way he did in the beginning, making everyone asides him look like a weakling only to end up as one. A few hours ago, my life was in his hands but in such a short time, his life ended up in my hands. How sweet it was for the tables to be turned!Arnold was not comfortable throughout the journey and Ryker did try to ask what was going on with him.

    KeleighI was not myself anymore. I wished death would embrace me with its cold arms but I also wished to see Ryker one last time. I had gone through so much in just a short time of being there.I had been ill-treated and locked away from everyone else. Alpha Jake did confess to me that the only purpose why he tried to come back for me was because he knew the type of power that was in me and had come for it. I was dazed.I guess Ryker was the only one who genuinely cared about me. I had continually wait each day for death when I suddenly got to know that the pack was being attacked. I had no idea what was going on but my heart raced so hard as I feared something could have happened to me.All the guards that watched over the prisoners had gone out as well to check what was going on and had begun to battle just like everyone else. We were however able to release ourselves.My joy knew no bounds the moment I got to know that Alpha Ryker was up and healthy once again. To my greater surpr

    ~KeleighEverything did seem off and strange. First, it was Arnold’s confession down to his actions and now, Roman's speech?I was confused and I was beginning to lose my mind. I had no idea of what was going on but I sure did know that I was not going insane.They were trying so hard to make me feel like I was losing my sanity and I knew I was not. I was heartbroken at the fact that everyone had decided to make me feel miserable.I wanted to thank Roman for advising me the first time about the brothers even though I had turned deaf ears to him but again, I remembered he had played a great role in making everything complicated.My whole world was spinning and it felt like I was not going to survive it. I was just not myself. I did not feel so good. I looked up at Roman. How could he betray me once again? I guess I had been such a fool to trust him that much. I should not have listened to him. I had no idea what the arrangement between him and Arnold was but seeing Arnold on the floor,

    ~KeleighMy whole seemed to be coming to an end the moment I got to know that he had been abducted. I had never felt so scared and worried in my entire life like I did over the few days that passed. First, it was Selene trying to hurt me and kill me.My soul had left my body the moment the knife was placed on my neck. I was even more shocked or perhaps, startled when I got to know that she was the one. She was the last person I expected to see. How had she escaped? How had she come into my room? How had she know where I was staying? How had she been able to access me?I had so many questions ringing through my head at the same time but the one that yelled at me the most was if I was going to die without seeing Ryker ever again. I would be so hurt and so shattered never to see him again.That had however given me the strength to fight her back and it had turned into a wrestle. I would rather die trying than not attempting at all. That would hurt me the most.Thankfully, Arnold and Ryke

    ~ArnoldI had not been happy with the development that was happening at the pack.“Alpha Arnold….” Roman had called out to me one night. I had begun to contemplate on what to do but nothing seemed to cross my mind. I just could not let her go so easily. I had to do something about it.“What do you want?” I questioned, turning my back to him. I expected him to leave but he was hell bent on coming to me even further.“I do not want you here. You should leave now while you have the chance. I just want you to…”“I can help you.” He suddenly spoke, causing me to arch my brows. I did not expect to hear any of what he had just said.“Help me? For what?”There was definitely no way he would have an idea of what was going on with me so what help was he talking about?“I know everything. I know you want Kaleigh to yourself. Not because you like or love her but….” He looked around suspiciously. “only because you are interested in her power.” He whispered. I feigned ignorance at first. I could no

    KeleighHis words were quite surprising but I decided not to take it to heart. I tried so hard to not think of all he had said but the words kept coming and resounding over and over and over again. He could not be kept behind bars no matter what he did?My mind drifted off to the day I asked Ryker to put him behind bars and how much he had defended him. Could it be true? I shook the thoughts out of my mind immediately. It was not possible. I could tell Ryker cared for me more than Arnold did or was it the other way round?Perhaps, because I liked Ryker even more, I believed he cared for me more? No, not at all. I shook my head. I wasn’t going to let him manipulate me. I knew he was quite manipulative but what could be his gain at that point?He claimed he was no longer interested in me. Being with Arnold would not be of any help to him neither would me being with Ryker be of any disadvantage to him. Was he really acting that way because he cared about me as a friend?Roman was quite d

    ~KeleighI missed him so much. I hated the fact that I could not see him when I wanted to. I had no idea why he suddenly became so busy but I was quite hurt that he was away from me. Arnold did try to make me feel better numerous times but it just could not compare.I didn’t feel the connection I felt with Ryker. The bond just wasn’t there. He did try to send me gifts to perhaps, make me feel better but it just wasn’t working. I missed Ryker so much. I would constantly stay close to the court even though the guards would sometimes try to stop me from going any closer. If they hadn’t stopped me most times, I could have gone in there to meet him most of the times. I wasn’t comfortable with his absence anymore.“Ryker is trying to get his mind off you.” Roman suddenly walked up to me one afternoon while I was all alone in the garden. I rolled my eyes, immediately disgusted by his presence. Why was it so hard for him to understand that I did not want to have anything to do with him? Why c

    ~ArnoldI had been quite busy with all that was going on in the pack yet all I was doing was in the interest of the pack. Ryker had been unresponsive like before and had left all the major tasks of the pack to me. All he did was stayed with Keleigh while leaving me with all other important things.Keleigh on the other hand was no longer interested in me. She paid even more attention to Ryker and treated me like I did not exist. I tried so hard to make her see me even more but she seemed to be very busy to not care about me, not even for once.“The necklace sure does look quite good on me, does it not?” Keleigh questioned, a smile on her face. She seemed quite excited but it did shatter my heart. With excitement, she zoomed off.I watched in silence as she walked away and Ryker did have a smile on his face as he watched her walk away.“She is very beautiful, is she not?” he questioned, probably still daydreaming. I was not in the mood for all that so I crossed my hands behind him and w

    ~RomanI was quite disappointed in the fact that things were not going my way. I could not get Keleigh out of the pack. The security had been quite tighter and I could not get close to her.Every of the maids and guards were being monitored. No one was allowed to go out of the pack neither was anyone allowed to move freely. A lot of thoughts crossed my mind all at the same time.I had to get her out no matter how hard I tried. Keleigh had tried to keep an eye on me and I could tell I was being monitored by her hence I tried everything within my power to make sure I stayed out of her reach. My appearance in public had reduced. I knew I had to do something to get out of the whole mess I had gotten into.When she was attacked and claimed I knew about the attack, I was quite surprised. Of course, I had the intentions to get her out but I had not done anything. I just wanted her to be safe as well. I had to do everything within my power to make sure I got her out.At first, I believed Jake
