OUR BREEDER IS OUR MATE?

KIERAN.

"Mom, we are still not okay with this," My twin brother, Kalisto, informed our mother, slamming his fists against the desk in the Royal office.

Kalisto and I were tendering to the Pack's matter when Mum and Cedric, our royal physician came in to inform us our breeder had been brought and was being set ready for us.

"You both have no choice boys. I understand your feelings but..." I didn't allow her to finish her statement before I cut in.

"Do you mum, do you really understand our feelings?" I questioned, looking away from the window and into her golden irises.

"You are forcing us" I began, pointing to my brother and me.

"To forcefully mate with an unknown peasant when we have a woman we love so dearly," I reminded her just in case she had forgotten, and she let out a weary sigh, moving to place one of her hands on her forehead.

"And I will be telling you, boys, this for the hundredth time." She began.

"It's not my wish nor my choice. You both have to do this and you know it. Lily has no opposition to this because she understands so why can't you boys?" My mother inquired, raising her voice a little at us.

Her face scrunching up into a frown. I looked away and went to sit on the sofa, laying my back against its softness and closing my eyes.

"Is there really no other way out?" Kalisto questioned Cedric for the third time today.

"No, your Majesty. You both have to do this or the consequences would be severe." Cedric replied.

"Alright then but promise us, Mother. As soon as we impregnate that thing and she delivers, she would be sent out and our marriage to Lila would commence right away." Kalisto mentioned and I flipped my eyes open to notice our mother agreeing to the arrangements.

"It is settled then," Cedric announced. 

"Tomorrow night is the full moon festival and the perfect time for your highnesses to get to work." He added, and I rolled my eyes but I muttered out loud, wrinkling my nose in disgust.

"We know Cedric." He shut up instantly and bowed.

"Kieran. You will not speak to him that way." Mum scolded, turning to glare at me, and I scoffed about to reply, but Kalisto beat me to it.

"And why not mother? He is his subordinate, after all, so he can do as he pleases to him." 

Mum went silent for a while before speaking up.

"I am sure I did not teach you boys to be rude" And I chuckled, surprising everyone.

"Is that just it, Mother, or is there something else going on, oblivious to Kalisto and me?" I inquired and she stumbled a little, all colors drained from her face, while Cedric's eyes grew wide in horror.

"Just like I thought" I muttered under my breath, but only loud enough for Kalisto to hear as he turned to throw me a glance.

"You are back to your unnecessary observations again?" Mother asked, while trying to regain her balance but then I just grinned and let it go.

"I have things to do Your Highnesses. I shall take my leave now," Cedric informed, but neither I nor Kalisto cared nor replied to him as he dashed out of the royal office.

After he left, Mother turned to glare at both Kalisto, most especially me but I still had the side of my lips curved up.

"I am so disappointed," She murmured before barging out angrily. Meanwhile, I just sat there, not moving a muscle, chuckling in amusement.

"I think I might start to believe you, Kieran," Kalisto said and I lazily turned to raise my brows at him.

"After all these months?" I asked and he went mute. After our father's death a year ago, I have been trying to inform this twin of mine that Mum and Cedric were having a secret affair, but he refused to believe me because he thought his beloved mother couldn't stoop so low.

'But well she did and was most definitely riding that stinky royal physician's cock.' I thought with disgust, feeling extremely disappointed in Mother. 

I understand she must have felt lonely and unwanted, but she shouldn't have been stupid enough to allow Cedric in between her legs.

There were royal men or at least noble men out there who desired my mother so much and would do anything just to have her, but dear mum chose Cedric instead.

"Do you really think Lily is okay with this?" Kalisto inquired.

"Well, she appears to be," I replied nonchalantly; her issue was the last thing on my mind at the moment, though I wished just as hell as he did that I didn't have to sleep with a peasant.

"She must be so hurt" Kalisto commented, his eyes dropping and pain obvious in his tone. Yes, my twin brother was the sentimental one and was so madly in love with Lily.

I did love her too but not as much as he did. Lily has always been there for us, our childhood friend whom we decided was suitable to be our Luna and future bride till this calamity happened.

"Well look on the bright side. We get to marry her after all," I reminded him, and the tension died down.

Finally, It is the day we have been looking forward to and, at the same time, dreading. 

The full moon festival, where all Lycans and wolves gathered to celebrate the full moon and appreciate the moon goddess for her kindness towards us, in their respective realms.

We dare not celebrate together in one place or there would be war.

"Do you think Lily would show up?" Kieran asked me as we both stepped into the hall, where the celebration was taking place in full glory.

I shrugged before responding.

"Not sure because I doubt she would love to see us with another lady". Just then, the most beautiful scent I have ever perceived in my entire 23 years of living hit my nose.

I stiffened, my body jerking up and my wolf, Ryker flipping around happily in my head.

"Can you perceive that?" I turned to inquire from Kalisto whose eyes I noticed were glowing around. 

He nodded and the scent hit me again at full bloom.

My body grew tense, and I felt the urge to just find whosoever had this scent and bury myself inside her. I turned towards her direction, sniffling and trying to figure out what was happening.

"Mate, mate, mate" Ryker growled possessively in my head. 

I froze as I came face to face with a gorgeous, pale-skinned young girl whose eyes drifted around like a frightened mouse, fidgeting with her hands.

Kalisto joined me right after, breathing heavily as he asked.

"Did you find her?" I didn't reply to him as my eyes were still fixated on her. Kalisto, seeing I wasn't paying attention to him, turned to look at her as well and staggered back from shock.

The girl did the same and then Madame Garcia pooped out of nowhere, beaming.

"I see you have met your breeder, my lords" She announced.

"What?" Kalisto screamed while I drew in a sharp breath, my jaw clenching as I couldn't believe our breeder was our mate.
