{ Lunanci }For a couple of seconds, no one can even move, we’re all frozen just watching uselessly as Rio walks away until he finally disappears. That was beyond horrible. Far, far worse than I thought it would be. Rio was dishing low blows left and right and I can’t even be mad because I’m just concerned.Zion and I only move when we hear Alex let out a small sob. We both rush to his side."He didn't mean any of that. At all," I assure him. Alex raises his hands to cover his face and hide his tears, but he lets me touch and comfort him, "You and I both know that, Alex. He's not like that. Something is going on with him, but I'm still so sorry he said it.""He just hates me now and it's all my fault," he says through his tears, his body shaking uncontrollably with his crying, "I've never seen him act like this before, he's never been mad at me, not even once. Not like this. Now he... he hates me. He wants me to die.""Please don't believe that," I beg, trying to make him feel better
{ Rio }All through school a lot of kids wanted to be our friends and although we were always friendly with everyone, we never formed real friendships with anyone because it was always just the three of us and that's the way we liked it. Alex, Laurie and I, that was all we needed. The others were just people we would sometimes go out to dinner with or who would invite us to their parties, but we never formed meaningful connections with anyone. I'm regretting that now. Because both Alex and Laurie are now dead to me, of course, but also because it means that when I get to Fallonmore I have no one to call. I have no one to turn to, no one who's not part of my family. I mean, I could call some old friends to go for a drink or hang out, but to ask them for a place to stay? I don't think so. Fortunately, I have money and that's all I need to go lock myself in the hotel of Fallonmore.That's where I stay, marinating in self-pity and deep hatred for my old friends. Including Lunanci now.
As soon as the doctor leaves, I force myself to get out of bed and walk to take a shower because I know my mother wasn't playing around and will send my daddy to come get me. And if he finds out I stink this bad, he's not going to be happy.When I get out of the bathroom, I get dressed and move to clean up a bit. Just as I'm finishing picking up my stuff, my door opens again and my daddy walks in, scrunching his nose as if it still stinks in here.I don't let him ask questions, I just walk until I reach him and hug him."My baby," he says and hugs me tightly, "What's going on? Why are you so skinny and ugly? Why does it stink in here?""I got a virus," I lie, even though I know it's useless. I don't want him to worry, "Can we go home? And maybe stop by a pharmacy? I have to buy some things.""Oh," he blurts out in confusion, "Okay... wait, are you sure you're okay?"His worried eyes make me give up. "No. I have to buy protein shakes and vitamins, apparently I'm malnourished or someth
{ Lunanci }I'm lying in bed at eight o'clock at night ready to sleep because I have nothing else to do and because I have a horrible migraine that hasn't left me alone for a couple of days now, next to Alex's anxious energy that is making everything worse, when someone knocks on the door. Alex groans and is about to stand up to open it but the door opens before that and Aaron walks in, looking weird and still in uniform."What's wrong?""Uhh... Lucinda Taffy's here for you," Aaron says. Alex doesn't even respond, he stays on the bed paralyzed with fear, "She's in the living room. She asked to speak to her son Alex so I think she knows all about your lie. Trust me, she's not happy at all."Alex gulps and turns to look at the window, I don't even have to ask him to know he's thinking about escaping."Did you already tell her I'm here?""She didn't ask, she knows you're here. She ordered me to come get you. She's my boss, dude.... Or, she will be. I'm sorry, but I can't tell her no or
"So... what's it like to actually have a bond with someone?" I ask my favorite twin, stubbing out the butt of the joint on the ground beside me and relaxing next to him. "It's not as fun as you think. You see, it’s not even real love," Alex replies, "Everyone romanticizes bonds so much, especially my dad. But if you really think about it, it's so dark and twisted.""How so?" I ask with a frown. "You become obsessed with this person against your will. You don't decide anything that happens because your wolf just decides for you and pushes you to do only what he wants. You have no say. Like, I don't like men but now I will have to be with this guy sooner or later and why? Because some entity decided that's the way it has to be? She just decided that we belong together and I'm the loser who has to submit? I have to let him do whatever he wants to me, be his property and his househusband and give birth to his damn kids and what do I get in return?""Love?" I try, Alex snorts."Yeah, if
"By the way, why did you sedate Alpha?" I ask once we separate and I can finally breathe a little. Rio sighs. "I didn't know what I was going to find in here. I thought you were with Aaron, remember? I couldn't risk my wolf wanting to get out and fuck shit up in case my guesses were true," he answers and I just nod because it makes a little sense, "I won't put him to sleep again, I promise. We're both on the same page now.""That sounds good," I reply and I get on my tiptoes to give him one last kiss, "I'm starving. Let's go inside and eat something.""Okay. And in the meantime, can you tell me how this happened? You suddenly living with my brother and Aaron?" Rio asks as we walk inside the house.Although I don't want to tell him, I also don't want to start our relationship with secrets, so I tell him the whole truth. About the day I met Aaron and how I gave him my number. Rio loses his smile then, but I keep going and tell him about how he thought there was something between us bec
{ Lunanci }"Wait! I’m nervous," I let out, unable to move my feet even though Rio is pulling me to move. "You shouldn't be, come on," he says with a laugh and pulls me a little harder, literally dragging me across the floor a little."No, I should," I continue, "Your mom is here and she's my biggest nightmare. When I think about a scary, mean monster, it's her."Rio laughs loudly and drags me a little more. Just yesterday Rio went to apologize to me and we started to be a real couple. And now I'm mere feet away from meeting his parents. I think I have a right to be a little nervous. "I promise you, my mom is going to be completely nice to you, really," Rio says, "She's only rude to me because I'm her son, but she's not like that with everyone, especially not to anyone who looks like you.""How's that?""Like an omega, duh," he replies, rolling his eyes. That makes my nerves disappear in a heartbeat so my feet start moving automatically. After meeting so many omegas and them all b
