Fated To My Twin Brother CHAPTER 14
*Hannah's POV*There was this stretch of silence between me and Hadzen as we walked down the hallway, and every step of mine became heavier. I wanted to thank him, to somehow reach past that ice distance he kept between us, but every word I thought to say seemed to get itself all tangled.Just as I'd opened my mouth to try once more, a cheerful voice cut through the tension: "Hannah! Here you are!" I swiveled to see Elisse approaching, her brown hair swinging and a happy smile on her face. She had a kind of speed walking, like she was supposed to be somewhere, but her attention was on us—or, rather, on Hadzen."Oh, and look who's with you!" She practically bounced up to him, ignoring his distant expression as she came closer. "What a rare sight, the twin siblings together!" She winked at me before nudging him. "Hadzen, you never told me you'd be escorting her around today."Hadzen sighed, his jaw tightening slightly. "Elisse, it's not what you think. We were just leaving."Elisse only

*Hannah's P.O.V.* The days following seemed to be part rhythm-think new, but think also old-all at once, an odd feeling of familiarity mixed with discomfort, like I was in a place I couldn't call home. The grounds, where the pack lived, the strict routines, even the distant looks from other pack members-all these things, I was now expecting, even though I didn't fully understand them. But no matter how hard I worked at being part of the family, there was always a sense of separation: like I was standing outside some family portrait in which I had no place. I woke this morning and walked toward the edge of the woods, an urge to be alone had compelled me from bed. I wanted to break free from these inquisitive eyes that kept tossing around questions through silent debate. Wind wandered through pines and damp soil, a comfort, reminding me that there had to be something else beyond the boundaries of this pack, something unchanging and steady. "Thought I'd find you here." I turned to se

Hannah's P.O.V.The sun was starting to peek through the leaves, casting spotty shadows across the training grounds. I had been awake for a while already, so when I heard Elisse's voice calling me over, I knew it was time to get moving. We headed out to meet a group getting together by the river for a round of sparring drills. The air was crisp, carrying that earthy scent mixed with some pine-forest scents pretty prevalent here.As we walked Elisse chirped away with all the brightness of her voice, while my thoughts were still all wound up in that conversation with Hadzen yesterday. His words had been like prickly thistles; they reminded me of how much distance he kept between us. But Elisse, full of spirit and energy, was a boon distraction; she seemed determined to be keeping me smiling, breaking walls around me open with her infectious humor."So, any plans to finally corner your dear twin brother and demand a heart-to-heart?" she asked, her voice going teasing as she nudged me pla

I was leaving school the next day, so mentally prepared myself for the weekend. I was to receive some training from my parents. It was kind of a rare freedom from a stormy couple of days that had hit like a gust of wind at my place. As I stepped out into the courtyard, a voice stopped me."Hannah!"I saw Sonia come running to me, her face a mixed expression of nervousness and relief. Her shoulders were tight, but there was something about her that was different-an air of resolve that I hadn't seen before."May I have just one minute? Just three minutes," she asked, catching her breath."Of course," I said, curious. "Is everything okay?"She nodded, though her smile is small. "Yes. Much more than all right, actually." She turned her head briefly, as if marshalling her thoughts. "Dr. Philip. he's gone. He quit the school. He isn't teaching here any more."Shock mixed with relief flooded through me like a cold splash of water, and then I couldn't help but break into a grin. "Good. We don

We walked in silence back towards the pack grounds. The tension was seeping from my body, yet it lingered in the air, there, like an unspoken reminder of everything that had just transpired. My heart was still pounding furiously, my hands shaking slightly still, but with Hadzen beside me, a steady presence, a curious calmness crept over me.As we approached the clearing that would lead us into the main grounds, I glanced sidelong at Hadzen. He walked with his usual coolness, his eyes fixed ahead, but I could see a faint bruise forming along his jaw from where Dr. Philip had managed to land a punch."Okay?" I said softly.He looked at me, no expression on his face. "I'm fine," he said shortly. Then, after a moment, relaxed. "Are you all right, Hannah?"I breathed, nodded. "Yeah, I guess so. It was. terrifying, but I just wish you'd been there."He nodded slightly, and then we fell into silence once again. I wanted to ask him a million questions, but my words were simply not coming. I w

The morning air was crisp, the sun just peeking over the treetops as I stepped out into the training yard. I could feel the energy of the pack around me, the weight of generations and legacy pressing down like a soft but constant hum. Today was the start of something new—a chance to train and truly prove myself, not just to my family, but to myself.Hadzen stood in the center of the clearing, his arms crossed as he watched me approach. His gaze was assessing, calculating, but there was a glint of something else—something almost encouraging."Ready?" he asked, his tone neutral but somehow warmer than usual.I nodded, feeling a strange mix of anticipation and nervousness fluttering in my chest. “I think so.”Our parents were nearby, standing on the edge of the clearing. Mom looked calm but attentive, her gaze flicking between Hadzen and me. Dad, however, wore a small smile, the kind of look that was both reassuring and a little intimidating. I could tell he was silently judging every mo

Morning crept in gently and golden, shining through the tall windows of the pack's main hall where breakfast had been laid out. I found myself drawn to the lively chatter of the dining area, my thoughts already drifting to the training I would share with Hadzen. He had grown distant lately—especially since Dylan had begun spending more time with me. I take a glance across at him, arms folded, yet his eyes are sharp and focused, but not meeting mine. His usual calm exterior seems colder and more distant. It looks like there is an invisible barrier that has once again gone up between us.I just felt him weighing his gaze upon me and then heard the familiar voice by my side. "'Hannah!' I beamed at the warm, easy smile as Dylan slumped into the seat beside me. 'You game to do some training later? I just can't wait to get it all to you that I picked up while you were off gallivanting in the human world.'"I laughed in response, appreciative of his light-heartedness. "I'm kinda wondering n

It was a fairly sharp morning air, and the thin veiling of mist had yet to rise from the borders of the forest when I walked toward the clearing wherein Dylan had requested me meet him. The yesterday's intense training with Hadzen, and the since distance he'd kept, were surely stirring within my breast a mix of tension and apprehension, but this small escape seemed much needed. Maybe I needed space; maybe I needed room to breathe, to take a step away from everything and then exhale slowly. Or maybe, if I was being honest with myself, I just wanted to be around someone who made things simple.As I drew closer to the clearing, Dylan was leaning against a tree with a goofy grin playing across his lips and his arms crossed. "Thought you might bail on me," he teased, pushing off from the tree and standing upright.Not a chance, I said, trying to catch his light-hearted mood. 'I could use a break from everything.'.He laughed, pulling us into the woods, deeper into the area, away from the w

She closed her eyes tight, felt the stab running through her chest by his claws and the warm spreading blood from her across to his ground below. In reality, Winter's line was blurring, though gritted she would let Leo go nowhere. Hadzen's heart stopped. He saw the whole scene. His mind screamed at him to get up and stop Leo. He could not do that, however. He was stuck in his place by the view of Winter's blood seeping from his body to the floor. In him, anger began to well but panic superseded it. "No!" Winter's faint voice barely reached his ears as he snapped out of his paralysis. She coughed, the breath shallow. "Hadzen… get out of here… run…" Hadzen's legs began moving at a force that he couldn't control. He moved forward with a mind screaming desperately, "Winter!" Leo looked up, his cold stare meeting Hadzen's. For a moment, they locked gazes, a silent challenge between them. But Leo didn't back down. His hand remained deep in Winter's chest, drawing out the power of the

The blood moon deepened, casting an eerie glow across the window of Winter. It bathed her room in crimson light. Hadzen stood by the window, his sharp gaze fixed to the sky, his golden eyes reflecting the ominous red hue that the moon was assuming. Something was wrong. This air felt heavy, charged with unease, and his instincts screamed of danger. It felt unnatural to see how the light spread across the land, like a warning he alone could hear. He had felt this sort of dread before—a feeling of knowing tragedy was about to hit. His jaw clenched up as his fists closed up by his sides. He told himself, This isn't right. This is a sign. He could not resist it; the pull was too great, and he needed to return to the only place that held all the answers-the heart of Hampton. Now, he realized that the chaos he dreaded was no longer an eventuality but rather something that was already in process. Hadzen turned his face from the window; he relaxed his eyes because of what he saw-lies on t

As they stood in front of the modest suburban home, which had a calm appeal due to the fading blue paint on the shutters, Winter’s pulse raced. After exchanging anxious looks, one of her two pals, Crisa and Maris, reached out and pressed the doorbell. Winter’s chest constricted as the bell reverberated throughout the home. She had no idea what to anticipate. She could hardly recall her time here, much less the individuals she may encounter. The woman in her late thirties emerged as the door swung open. Her tired eyes grew wide as they met Winter’s, and her dark hair was pulled back in a loose bun. Her palm gripped the doorframe as though to steady herself, and her lips parted in a wordless gasp. “Winter.” With tears in her eyes, the woman’s voice broke. Unsure of what to say or do, Winter stood motionless. It was hard to ignore the intensity emanating from the woman, even though her face was unfamiliar. “Mom?” Winter hesitated, the word unfamiliar to her. The woman sprang for

The air in Hampton was heavy, the weight of decisions and revelations pressing down on Winter as she stood by the edge of the forest. The towering trees, their roots steeped in ancient magic, seemed to whisper warnings. Leaving the wolf’s sanctuary meant venturing into a world she had only glimpsed through distant memories—a world that neither embraced nor understood the Eclipse essence she now unknowingly carried. Hadzen stood beside her, his presence grounding her. His sharp gaze scanned the horizon, his usual stoic demeanor softened as he glanced her way. “Are you sure about this?” he asked, his voice low, laced with both worry and resolve. Winter tightened her grip on the straps of the bag slung over her shoulder. “I have to be. I need answers, Hadzen. About who I am… about what happened that night.” He nodded, his jaw tightening. “Then I’m coming with you. Whatever we face out there, we face it together.” Winter’s heart fluttered at his words, but she kept her emotions in

The only sound in the room was the gentle rustle of the curtains as a refreshing breeze entered through the open window. The mellow brightness of the candles strewn across the room blended with the moonlight, which created delicate silver streaks over the wooden floor. Curled up against Hadzen’s chest, Winter’s fingers traced languid lines across his exposed flesh. Her movements had a sensitivity that made his heart constrict, even though her touch was light and almost timid. At first, neither of them said anything. The silence was thick and heavy with feelings they weren’t yet ready to express, yet it wasn’t uncomfortable. You wanted to enjoy the moment since you knew it might not happen again, and it was the kind of silence. With his fingers stroking in calming circles, Hadzen’s hand lay gently on Winter’s back. For a minute he closed his eyes and breathed her in, the warmth of her body against his, the subtle lavender perfume in her hair. For as long as possible, he wanted to clin

The Hampton estate was oppressively quiet. Winter was standing by her room’s window, staring off into the huge forest beyond. She was struggling to breathe as the weight of the disclosures from the last few days slammed against her chest. She wasn’t Hannah. She wasn’t the ideal, compassionate, and predestined girl that everyone believed her to be. The delicate strands of her identity had been ripped by that fact, and she felt as though she was coming apart. The door behind her squeaked open. Winter did not arrive. She was not required to. The only person who could break through the jumble of her thoughts was someone she knew. Her voice was firm but scratchy as she replied, “I thought I locked the door.” Hadzen entered, his presence reverberating throughout the space. His golden eyes stared at her silhouetted figure against the faint moonlight for a moment before he spoke. At last, he murmured in a low, gravelly voice, “You did.” “I’m not interested.” The sight of him made Winter’

As they strolled in quiet, the group was bathed in dappled light from the morning sun that filtered through the thick forest canopy. Winter followed Hadzen, her mind still jumbled from the night they’d spent together. She couldn’t deny the throbbing warmth in her heart, which was a maelstrom of perplexity and shame. It was difficult to control the feelings that threatened to overtake her because of the constant cadence of Hadzen’s steps in front of her, which was both consoling and agonizing. “Winter.” Her reverie was interrupted by Hadzen’s forceful yet gentle voice. His keen eyes scanned her face as he paused to walk next to her. “You haven’t said anything.” She shrugged, avoiding his eyes. “I have a lot on my mind.” A slight smile twisted Hadzen’s lips. “You’ve never been adept at controlling your feelings.” His sly gaze caused Winter’s cheeks to heat up. “And your ability to read them is obnoxious.” He answered in a firm yet light tone, “I’d call it a skill.” As the

The silence of the Hampton estate was suffocating. Winter stood by the window of her room, her gaze lost in the vast expanse of the forest beyond. The weight of the revelations from the past few days pressed on her chest, leaving her gasping for air. She wasn’t Hannah. She wasn’t the girl everyone thought she was—perfect, kind, destined. That truth had severed the thin threads of her identity, and she felt like she was unraveling. Behind her, the door creaked open softly. Winter didn’t turn. She didn’t have to. She knew who it was—the only person who could cut through the chaos of her thoughts. “I thought I locked the door,” she said, her voice hoarse but steady. Hadzen stepped inside, his presence filling the room like a storm. He didn’t reply at first, his golden eyes locked on her figure silhouetted against the pale moonlight. “You did,” he finally said, his voice low, gravelly. “I don’t care.” Winter turned to face him, her chest tightening at the sight of him. His hair w

As Winter, Hadzen, Sonia, and Ericka stood close to Hampton’s gates, prepared to go, the early morning air hung thick. With a worried expression on her face, Maxine had observed them from the stairs. She had vehemently opposed Winter’s departure, but it had been hard to deny her resolve. As she pulled Winter into an embrace, Maxine’s voice was tight as she whispered, “Promise me you’ll come back.” Winter held her close and said, “I will, Mom.” The group now stepped into the tree shadows, the forest stretching on forever in front of them. Even though they had no idea where they were going, Hadzen guided them with unwavering assurance and his keen intuition. Winter strolled next to him, the dim light filtering through the thick canopy, almost illuminating her pale complexion. As they moved further, Sonia said, her keen eyes darting about, “This place feels… different.” From the back, Ericka murmured quietly and grimly, “It’s because we’re getting close to the Veil.
