Vienna's POV:

I could hardly believe my eyes.

Was this really my father, Orion Belmont, who was crying over how much he loved me?

But no matter how many times I blinked to dispel the illusion or hallucination– whatever it was– he was still here, standing with his side profile towards me and tears glistening in his eyes and speaking further.

“After Ellora died, I couldn’t bear to face my little girl. Every time I looked at you, Vienna, I was reminded of her. It hurt too much… and I felt guilty to some extent, like I had failed you both. When I married Tessa, I thought… I thought you would have a new mother to look after you, and I could finally grieve. But I wish! I wish I knew back then, that I would only end up isolating you further.”

“Dad…”

I could feel a startled gasp escape my throat, and my eyes followed the Adam's apple bobbing in his throat before he swallowed the emotions and spoke his next words.

Words that I had imagined him saying at least a hundred times, when I was yo

    Vienna's POV: I couldn’t believe the words coming out of my mouth. I was the one saying all these words, which were completely against my wish… the words which were against my might.Was I really asking him to leave like this, without even the dignity of a proper explanation? And the reason! The reason behind it was my father… the same father who had never given me the love I deserved, the affection which was my right, the safety that my soul had craved for. The protection that I had always dreamt of. And now that I am finally getting the hope of getting all of these from somewhere I am the one who is asking him to leave, with my own mouth… without any force… just because of the sudden rush of emotions I was currently feeling.The expression had scribbled the verdict of hurt all across his face, and it was unbearable to me… making me feel like my guilt was an alien soul. Alive and breathing inside me, clawing me from within. And so, I did the cowardly thing and trained my gaze a

  • Oops! My Twin Mates are my Professors   At your mercy

    Vienna's POV: I didn't get to hear what he was going to say, or when exactly he would be coming to get me. Before he could finish, Tessa marched over, screeching like a banshee once again and making me wonder how she hadn't screamed herself hoarse yet. “You pest! Are you determined to suck our blood dry!" My startled eyes found Kai, just as she shoved him away from me using both her hands, and positioning herself between us like a guard dog on steroids. “I knew this girl was shameless, but you are no less! Tell me, what more do you want to hear? She said she is not going anywhere with you! Are you deaf, or just plain stupid?” If I was expecting to see anger or aggression lingering around his expressions, there was nothing as such. In fact, he barely even reacted at first. Then, taking his own sweet time, he cocked an eyebrow, his body language eerily calm. “I highly recommend you keep your aggression reserved for those who tolerate it willingly. And in fact, con

  • Oops! My Twin Mates are my Professors   Take her away!

    Vienna's POV: With Kai gone, I slowly felt the realization sinking in, about all that had happened in the span of less than an hour. I felt like a storm had just passed over my life, turning everything on its head and spitting me out of the eye of the storm, dazed and disoriented. My father… I remembered with a start, and a sudden jolt of urgency pushed me into action. I made my way towards my father, feeling like I was wading against thick currents, instead of walking on the floor of my house. But I forced myself to walk until I was standing in front of him; where he sat slumped on the couch, his head bowed and shoulders slumped, his face buried in his hands… looking like a defeated man. Slowly, I reached out and awkwardly rested my hand on his arm, hoping to offer some comfort. “Dad… I'm sorry…” My throat had suddenly become so tight that the words had to be squeezed out one by one. I lowered myself to my knees in front of him, speaking sincerely. “I’m sorry for not

  • Oops! My Twin Mates are my Professors   Pangs of Frustration

    Kai’s POV: I reached home, restless and on edge. I was too disturbed to even think about anything, and any time I tried, the haunting image of Vienna’s face appeared in front of me again. Time and again, my mind flashed back to the tears in her eyes, the tremble in her voice as she asked me to leave, the look of disgust in her stepmother and stepsister’s eyes… all those thoughts, refusing to be silenced. Not to mention the fact that my wolf was on the verge of rebellion, for abandoning our mate there. How could anyone be so heartless towards that innocent soul? And as for her father, I didn’t trust him for a second. Although he had said all those words to show how hurt he was by the possibility of her leaving, and said all the right things to prove his regret over not having a good relationship with her, for not showing how much he loved her… I could smell some bullshit. His regret was too sudden to be genuine, because how could a father watch his daughter get taunted and phys

    Kai's POV:“To hell with that!” I gritted out through my teeth, finding no other suitable place for my rage. I had come here to find some clarity, but so far, Fynn’s presence and horrible suggestions were just making the mist of confusion and anger grow denser. I could see very well that Fynn was just as worried about Vienna… maybe even more than I was. But again! My twin’s stubbornness was overriding his sensibility, and I wished I could have told him earlier, how much he really sucked at acting. “Will you stop acting this way, how long are you planning to be mad at us for that?! She is our mate, for fuck’s sake–”“I wouldn’t say that.”Fynn’s jaw tightened as he said coldly. “Not when she hasn’t accepted me as her mate in front of the pack members and with Moon Goddess as our witness. Until then, she has at least accepted or acknowledged you as her mate, so that's good! I'm happy for you.”I growled, the sound rumbling deep in my chest. “What bullshit! You know the Mating Cer

  • Oops! My Twin Mates are my Professors   Hunger pangs

    Vienna's POV: I tossed and turned in my bed, trying to put pressure on my stomach, desperate to ease the sharp, stabbing pain. My sleep-addled brain was struggling to push past the discomfort, but it was useless. Even after fifteen minutes of this, I wasn't feeling any better; nor could I succumb to the call of sleep, no matter how heavy and droopy my eyelids were getting. Finally, I gave up and stumbled out of bed, clutching my stomach with both hands. My head was dizzy, and the realization hit me like a brick: it was already a new morning, which meant an entire day had passed, without anyone entering my room or bringing me any food. I reached out hesitantly and turned the latch of the door. Thankfully, it was unlocked, and I let out a shaky breath. Hopefully, that meant I could sneak down to the kitchen unnoticed. But as I crossed the hallway and turned to head down the stairs, I felt a shove on my shoulder, causing me to trip. I tumbled forward, the hard edge of each step

    Vienna’s POV: Tessa’s anger melted into doting affection within a matter of seconds. “You’re right, my darling. What would I do without you, she would have boiled away all my blood with her presence alone, not to forget, how ill mannered she really is!” Gemini smiled brightly. “But I'm here, aren't I? So forget about her! It’s Sunday and I have plans to go on a lunch date with Asher, so I wanna have a light breakfast. Whatever you have made, leave that aside. I need something light.” "Of course, love. What exactly do you feel like eating? Tell me, and I’ll make it for you. Anything you want, all you have to do is speak!” “Um… not much, maybe a few quesadillas, some waffles… just a few though, not too many! Some fresh apple juice, and two omelets. That should be enough." Tessa’s smile widened. “Oh, lovely! I have already prepared the quesadillas, and I’ll whip up everything else within minutes. Just come along with me…” I bit my cheek to stop the snarky laugh climbing up m

  • Oops! My Twin Mates are my Professors   My brother

    Fynn’s POV:The chill of the early morning was sharp and moist, the cool air rushing in through the windows while I shuffled into the kitchen, the sleep still not fully gone from my eyes. I pulled a bowl from the cabinet and filled it with water from the tap, before I walked over to the freezer and grabbed two trays of ice. The coldness was biting against my fingers, the cubes crackled and hissed as I dropped them into the water. Setting the bowl down on the counter, I reached for some spare towels and cut them up into long strips.Kai hadn’t been this sick in years.I don't remember a time when he might have developed such a high fever… save for that one when we were pups, barely old enough to shift. And even then, it hadn’t been this bad. He was always the protective one, the older twin– as he loved to flex, any chance he got… that cocky bastard. And because of his tendency to be loud and boisterous, it was completely jarring to see him in this state. Was I too harsh on him yes

    Vienna's POV: I saw Fynn's fingers scraping against the jagged rock for a fraction of a second… just enough for hope to flare up in my chest, before it was ripped away.Because in the very next second, he fell… before I could move from my place, he had fallen. Without a sound, without even a struggle, my world had shattered. My life was teetering on the edge, and then it slipped away.It wasn't just Finn that had fallen from the cliff, I felt like someone had ripped my heart into two parts and thrown one of them, by tossing it away from the cliff.For a moment everything paused in my mind, the time, the heartbeat, the tears, the scream and then everything just went boom.The scream that was building up inside me, shaking my whole body, didn't even leave my mouth. My soul was being ripped apart, and I couldn't even open my mouth to tell anyone to make it stop, to make it hurt less or to bring him back anyhow. Not a single sound.My legs gave out beneath me, and I crashed onto my kn

    Kai’s POV: A roar, unlike anything I had ever heard, tore from my throat, shaking the ground under my paws. I felt bloodlust seeping into my body, soaking every fibre of my being, taking over all the anger and grief, and pain. My brother.They had pushed my brother.The other half of my soul… the one part of my heart. They pushed my Fynn… my Fynn off the cliff.Curzon barely had time to react before I was on him. My wolf lunged with the full force of my fury. He tried to dodge, but he was too slow to escape from the Grim Reaper.I sank my teeth into his neck, tasting blood as his panicked growl turned into a gurgled gasp. His paws thrashed against me, claws scraping uselessly at my fur, but I didn’t let go.I didn't let go, even as his claws sank into my shoulder, right where Fynn had been injured. I twisted my jaw, and ripped his throat out.Curzon’s lifeless body crumpled to the ground, his eyes still wide with shock.His beta howled in rage and came at me next, but I was alread

    Kai’s POV: Curzon.That bloody motherfucker! Fynn had been right… he shouldn't have been trusted, because he must have been planning this for a long time. And I was right too; only for one moment, when the thought crossed my mind that it wasn't possible for any Alpha to ignore the Supreme Alpha crossing the borders of their pack.It was all his plan! I didn't know how long this bloody snake had been disguised in the form of my friend, and how long I had been feeding him with the crucial information about my life… making all of us extremely vulnerable.Because of my one mistake of trusting a traitor.The realization made my blood boil, rage snapping through me like a whip.And as I burst into the woods whether they had cornered Vienna and Fynn, the sight before me had the power to shatter me completely.Fynn… my brother was fighting alone against twelve wolves, his body already bloodied but still keeping up with their attacks. Each time they lunged, he threw them back, his strength

  • Oops! My Twin Mates are my Professors   Cornered

    Vienna's POV:We were badly cornered, and Kai was not here.And on top of that it was because of my stupidity… not only that I had asked him to leave alone for the pack, and assured him that I would take Fynn with me to cheer his mood up. But I had also asked the guards to keep their distance! And now, I didn't know where they actually were. And most importantly, if this man is standing here in front of us with his men, then what is the guarantee of Kai being safe and sound?My heart missed a beat out of fear.Curzon’s laughter rang out, smooth and mocking, as he shook his head, pulling me out of my thoughts.His sharp, pale features twisted into something that might have been amusement, but the malice in his eyes said otherwise. But before he could say anything, I heard Fynn’s growl. “Stay where you already are! If you dare to take a single step towards us or even dare to take my Luna’s name from this filthy mouth of yours, I won't let you be able to do anything else.”Curzon too

    Kai's POV:The moment I stepped into the Alpha’s mansion, I felt a strange sensation crawl up my spine, like something was wrong. The thought of whether or not I had made the right decision by leaving Fynn and Enna alone quickly passed through my mind before I shrugged off.It's better not to think too much about what had already happened, or else I wouldn't be able to focus on anything.Shaking my head, I looked around. The Autumn Pack had changed a lot since the last time I had seen it. Not that I had been here in person since I was fourteen, but through the letters Curzon and I had exchanged while I was in Cape Town, I had been able to build a picture of this place in my mind. And yet, I was surprised. In the ten years that had passed, the old Alpha had died, and Curzon’s father had taken over, only to rule for a few short years before an accident claimed his life. Now, Curzon sat on the throne, and the Autumn Pack had stepped away from the Supreme Alpha challenge this year, ch

    Vienna's POV:Today was the day we were leaving the Hefternort pack, and I was gathering a lot of good memories in my heart from here.This is the part of my life which can be categorised as a golden period… or maybe the start of a golden period?And I can never forget anything, the happiness– neither the comfort, the love and nor that one fear that this place has given me.From the Alpha to the omegas, everyone had treated me with so much respect and affection that my heart felt full. But the shaman’s words still lingered at the back of my mind, surfacing now and then like an unwelcome shadow in the dark. Maybe, she didn’t know what she was talking about? Maybe she was just a senile old lady speaking gibberish… or an extremely sharp one, who enjoyed troubling people for no reason.Or probably, she was just telling all those things so that she could teach me how to be grateful for what I have in my life. There could be many reasons because of which she might have said all those th

    Vienna's POV:A soft moan escaped me before I could stop it, and I felt his body tense against mine. Heat flared between us curling low in my stomach and spreading through my limbs.Fynn groaned, his hands gripping my waist as he pressed me back against the thick fur blanket he had laid down for our picnic. His lips moved against mine with more urgency now, like he had been holding back for too long.I gasped when he nipped my lower lip, and he took the opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth, tasting me, teasing me. The heat between us became unbearable, like fire under my skin.“Fynn…” I breathed against his lips, my fingers threading through his dark hair.The cold air barely registered against my heated skin as Fynn’s hands slipped under my coat, spreading warmth wherever they touched. His lips were demanding now, his tongue stroking against mine, tasting me, claiming me.I whimpered as his hands moved to my waist, gripping me tighter, pulling me flush against him. The thick

    Kai's POV:We were only supposed to be at the Hefternort pack for two more days, and there was still a lot of administrative work to handle. I expected Fynn to be at full efficiency, going through reports, handling negotiations, and ensuring everything was in order before we left.Instead, I found my brother and the Supreme Alpha walking towards me, a sheepish smile tugging at his lips.I raised an eyebrow, already knowing he was planning something. “What’s wrong?”“Nothing,” Fynn said quickly. “Just… today’s meetings will mostly go over things we’ve already discussed, and any final decisions we need to make can be authorized by you as the Supreme Alpha’s second-in-command.”I folded my arms. “And?”“And…” He hesitated, scratching the back of his neck. “We won’t get much time when we go back to Camden Falls, and—”I exhaled loudly, cutting him off. “Sometimes, I really wish my brother was straightforward and to the point.”Fynn blinked. “What?”I narrowed my eyes. “Why are you ramblin

    Vienna's POV I stood there, frozen in place, staring at the empty space where she had been. My heart pounded, and for a long moment, I didn’t move.Her words echoed in my head.Difficulties…? Trials? Separation! Separation… she was right. Thscariest, horrifying and heart wrenching part of this prophecy she just made in front of me was separation.I had barely started my life with Kai and Fynn… why was the universe already planning to take it away?And how exactly was it going to play in my life? Was I going to get separated from them once again… but how? I thought that everyone who wanted to snatch me away from them, or didn't want me to live a happy and peaceful life was already dead or rotting in the dungeon, so how was I going to get separated from them…?And why did I have to be separated from the part of my own souls, whom I had just found. They were slowly teaching me what I had been lacking in my past, how I was supposed to breathe and live in the open air like a free human
