CHAPTER 2 : THE RETURN OF THE EXILED

The initial puncture was like a needle jab on her neck, quickly followed by an agonizing pain. 

Kira could almost hear the sickening squelch as their fangs tore through her skin. Her heart pounded violently against her rib cage as her breaths became short and ragged. Gasps from her mouth as her eyes shot wide upon the sudden intrusion.

Her hands clawed at the air and at their backs as she tried to push the Alpha twins away, but they were much stronger and at this point all her trails were just weak and clumsy.

"No! Please, no!", her voice cracked at so much screaming while thrashing against their hold.

Kira's screams were swallowed by the Alpha twins' intense growls as they held her tightly in place.

She whimpered and clawed at their arms some more, her nails cutting their skin, but it was nothing to them.

"Just stop! It hurts! Please stop!", she pleaded with them weakly, tears streaming down her face mixing with the sweat that dripped from her eyebrows.

"Mmm…", Alpha Bryan and Alpha Aiden made a sound.

But her vision was just getting blurry as the pain intensified, she could feel their fangs sinking deeper, marking her. She buckled her legs, but the Alpha twins held her upright, forcing her to stay still.

"Please", Kira sobbed, her voice growing hoarse from screaming and barely above a whisper, "Please, don't do this, I don't want this."

Her body trembled violently as she started struggling to stay conscious. Her strength was waning, and she could feel the energy from her body drain away. 

Kira's hand trembled as she beat weakly against their chest, "I'm begging you, both of you please…", she cried, her voice breaking.

Just one Alpha doing this was too much, talk less of the both of them marking her at the same time, especially against her will was just extra, "I c-can't take it. Please let me go."

But the Alpha twins were relentless, not listening to her, their fangs still buried in her neck, marking her as theirs.

At some point, Kira's vision darkened, and she felt herself slipping away.

"Please…stop…", her voice faded to a faint whisper and right after her body went limp.

The last thing she saw before everything went black was the cold gaze of the Alpha twins above her.

Few minutes after she went unconscious, they removed their fangs from her neck, finally done with marking her.

The marks on her neck were raw and inflamed. Both bite marks oozing a mix of blood and saliva. They both gave their mark a lick on each side to help make it heal faster and soothe the pain.

"Carry her," Bryan said to his brother, "Let's go."

Aiden picked up Kira's unconscious body and sat comfortably at his shoulder, "Does she even eat? Look how light she is."

Bryan chuckled and shook his head, "We should be more worried about what will happen when she wakes up."

"She is going to hate what we have done to her, but she is ours, she belongs with us," Aiden said as he and his brother walked to where they had parked their car.

"Well, it was the only way to keep her safe with us and within the pack. We can't lose her again, with our marks and the bond we have together, it will be difficult for her to leave. She won't be able to reject us or break the bond. We did the right thing!", Bryan told his brother, letting out a soft sigh as he agreed with Aiden.

Kira was theirs, and they would do everything to make sure they don't lose her again, not after the mistake they had made before.

The drive back to the Crescent Pack was a long one. They were actually coming back from a business trip, and needed to relieve themselves in the woods before they heard some sounds. They almost ignored it, but something pulled them to the extent where they just decided to follow their instincts and thank the moon goddess they did.

"Welcome back Alphas", A guard rushed up to them as soon as they drove in, parked their car and got down.

"Thank you, get the bags," Aiden ordered as Bryan opened the back seat door and carefully carried Kira out. She was still knocked out hmm.

The guard bowed and did as he was told while Bryan and Aiden walked into their home.

It was pretty late, so everyone should probably be asleep, unless they still insisted on waiting for them to return and welcome them.

"My babies!!", their mom suddenly came out from nowhere, "you both have been gone for two months", she smiled and went for a hug, "oh…", she stopped, "who is that young lady and why?"

The Alpha twins mother asked confused while looking at her sons with a questioning look.

"Our mate, we found her. I must say we got really lucky today", Aiden cleared the room of any confusion, adding a mischievous smile to it.

"But…then why is she that way? Knocked out…is she even breathing?", Their mom glared at them, "Did you two kidnap your mate?", she asked loudly, quickly going to check on Kira. Immediately she saw the marks on Kira's neck, she just knew that something was off.

"Mother please, we will explain everything tomorrow," Bryan said softly to his mom, pecking her cheeks as Aiden did the same, "And we missed you too. Just do us a favor and clean her up, we will lay her down in her new room. I already called before we got here for a room to be prepared."

Their mother still had a suspicious look on her face but agreed. 

"Where is father?", Aiden asked, while looking around, "Will he not come to welcome his sons?"

Bryan chuckled and started walking, going up the stairs as his mom and brother did the same, "He is probably upset because we disappeared for two months and did not call him. He will soften up later."

Aiden shook his head and chuckled too, "How could I forget that."

"You boys have to understand your father", Their mom laughed, "Always sulking even when he was the Alpha, the man is something else."

The night ended a little too soon, and the next thing it was morning. 

The room got brighter and birds chirped. She groaned and rubbed her eyes, turning in bed.

They watched her wake up, enjoying every moment of cuteness.

"Good morning", Kira heard someone say. She opened her eyes, trying to adjust to the light as she saw the person to whom the voice belonged to. 

Memories of what had happened last night flooded back in. Her eyes quickly shot open as she sat up straight, glaring at them. 

"Kira", Bryan tried to reach for her, but she moved away.

"Where am I?", she asked them carefully, looking around and then at her body, "where are my clothes? These are not my clothes."

"First you need to calm down", Aiden attempted to make her relax, "To answer your questions, we are back home, and we got you cleaned up."

"Home?", Kira asked, her voice laced with incredulity as she rubbed her face, raising her head right after. Her eyes darted between the twins as her gaze sharpened with each passing moment, they were starting to give her so much headache, "You… y-you changed m-my clothes?"

The only answers she got from the twins was one with a mischievous smile and the other with a smirk.

They just knew how to get her worked up.

"Why would you change my clothes, why would you do anything at all??", she raised her voice at them, "I remember saying I wanted nothing to do with BOTH OF YOU!!!!"

"KIRA." Bryan shouted angrily, making Kira's body jerk violently, as if electrified.

He shut his eyes, his jaw clenching while Aiden had already gotten up, a low growl coming out from his throat.

Her eyes snapped towards them, wide with shock and fear, her heart raced and was pounding in her chest. For a moment, she was frozen, unable to move or speak. Her skin was getting pale, and her breath immediately caught in her throat.

"Are we being too nice to you? Is that why you take us for granted and think you can speak as you like?", Aiden asked her calmly, his voice deadly cold as he looked out the window.

Bryan, who was trying so hard to hold himself back from lashing out, opened his eyes, turned and looked at her closely, "Should we help you remember your place, Omega?”
