Under The Alphas Roof

Sierra

If not for the fact that the stare was trapped on a standing frame, I would have cursed at the artist that made such sad and vindictive artwork.

My eyes wandered back to the strong intimidating aura I almost missed.

Locking eyes with him, something snapped in my chest warning me to run, enter the ground or do anything as long as I would be free from his presence.

My heart shattered into two but I could not find the source of the heartbreak, what I noticed was the figure becoming two!

The twins are so alike that I could not tell them apart anymore. It's not just the body that duplicated, their cold murderous stare mirrors nothing but disgust for me.

I was wrong when I hoped they would forget everything. I barely got out of here alive years back and by now I can already hear whispering curses from bystanders.

I just walked into my own end.

At this moment, the air around suddenly became hot and I could almost hear the whispers of their breathe.

Whispers screaming “Rip her apart”

“She’s back… please give her a chance” Mrs.Ruby said with slight hesitation in her voice.

Even with her maté’s affluence, I could tell she fears the twin Alphas still.

There was silence… the tension in the air was making my legs turn jelly.

“Okay” I hear one of them say, followed by the second Alpha with an approving head nod.

I gulped fake saliva down my dry throat as the words rolled down his mouth. Am I hearing things? Just like that?

“Thank you Alphas” Mrs.Ruby said with a bow.

She grabbed my arms closer to her and immediately pulled me away from the scene. My heart beat synching with the sound of my heavy steps that I think I might turn into statue if I look back to glance at the Alphas.

Those were not the eyes I was familiar with… they’ve changed and I caused that.

*****************

~Lying on my tattered bed, I recalled what had happened last week. Today makes it a week I've been here and I so much regret it.

That day when I met the twin Alphas again for the first time in 7 years, my fate was sealed.

I watched both of them stand expressionless or even bothered by me showing up. They had this surprised look mixed with hatred at first when they saw me because no one informed them of my interest to come back.

In a split second, the emotional face of disgust disappeared making their Ruby colored eyes return to their beautiful ocean blue . The Ruby eye color signifies Alphas entering their wolf state and it depicts anger.

I was a little bit relieved to see their murderous glare fade off but it scared me more to see their faces were blank as a sheet of paper.

I'm fazed to realize how beautiful both of them have grown to be, their looks outshine all other werewolves present, both men and women.

They stood like perfection itself. Morpheus showed up from a corner with a wide smile as he whispered something to the twins which made their pretty eyes glint with mischief.

“You are nothing but a traitor’s daughter and that is what you will be” my eyes were too fixed on their beautiful features not to have seen the words that rolled off his lips. Well, I still can't tell them apart.

“Heard you sacrificed college to come back here?” his pretty lips formed a smirk before he continued “Everyone here is willing to help you make up for the past princess,” the second twin said.

And that was it, those words from them sealed my fate since then.

Everyone treats me with undisguised contempt, plays pranks on me, and other unfair treatments because the Alphas permitted it.

I was made to live in a shabby hut at the back of the packhouse alone. I was totally turned into a slave in no time so I wonder how I will prove my parent's name by scrubbing tiles all day, dusting the old rooms, and cleaning up littered room whenever their girlfriends come visiting.

Today was worse as I was made to work nonstop with no food or water. Ever since that day, I have never met the twins by coincidence nor have I seen their shadows walk by anywhere I am. Heard their girlfriends would be staying the night so I had to prepare a lot of things, at least it's the closest I've gotten to them so far.

Their scent soothes my soul and I hope I'll be allowed to enter their room again. I just wish to hold a conversation with one of them even if they want to kill me so bad.

I remember vividly how it all went wrong~

After a long day of shopping with the twins, I remember the 12 year old me running ahead of others to lay down my worn out body.

I was forced to halt my steps when a strange scent sailed into my nose.

My teddy fell off my hands seeing blood everywhere on the pack land.

“ Dad? What's going on?”I uttered trying to process the whole scene when Arnold’s scream rippled through the air. He's one of the future Alpha twins of Blackstone.

Followed by Aiden’s voice.

“Oh no...

We remained glued on a spot shocked to see my father, Beta Hendrix holding the poisonous dagger in front of the late Alpha Maximus.

“Your father planned a coup and killed everyone!” Morpheus the Alpha’s brother said with his claws dripping of blood and he's gaining distance on me.

But I fought back in denial “No! He wouldn't do that... Dad look at me”

Before I could get to him, Morpheus sped up and killed my father.

“Your father killed my brother and your mother poisoned the Luna! You are nothing but a traitor’s daughter, you deserve to die.” he yelled at me.

In fear of what he would do, I stepped back with wobbling feet “Please don't”

“Uncle” Aiden’s crying voice came.

“Please” Arnold pleaded on my behalf too.

And that was when Morpheus halted his mission on cutting my head off just like he did to my father.

I tried to balance my hitched breath only to feel his large leg on my tummy— he kicked me to the ground.

“From now on, she's banned from the pack. Live your entire life to hate her! Hunt her down and burn her to ashes” Morpheus said with his claws pointed at me.

Hot tears trickled down my cheeks.

“ Then I shall leave with her!” A voice said out of nowhere and it turned out to be Ruby, Morpheus mate. She came out from hiding to my side.

“Are you out of your mind?! She's to be put to death but I showed mercy on her so step away from her right this instant.” he said.

“She is just a 10 year old kid!” I watched with blurry eyes as she stands up for me but Morpheus seem to be unwilling.

“I need you here to guide the future Alphas together, don't do this to the pack” he said.

“I am serving the pack!” Ruby said to her mate.

Ruby picked me up as I sob quietly in her hold, seeing the hatred in the twins eyes hurts my feeble mind.

With a heavy sigh, my eyes dropped and I lay down on the quilt as I drifted off to sleep.
