In seconds, I was standing in front of him, staring into his face.
“How could you?”
Not only did I ask my question, but my hand hit his cheek with a resounding slap, calling the attention of the man in uniform.
“Madam, what is the matter?” The man who searched me and my bag, asked, holding me from Tristan's.
“Leave me alone!” I yelled at the man, jerking off from him. “How could you, Tristan?” I asked, already crying. “Is two years not enough time for you to love me?”
“Woah!” Tristan cried, touching his cheek. “You have the wrong person, my Lady.”
I gazed at him, fire in my eyes.
Not just in my eyes, but in my bones as well.
What did he mean by I have the wrong person? It wasn't hard for me to recognize him and the car we went on a date in, once. Was it?
“Excuse us,” Tristan said to the man in uniform who walked away. “I can handle this.”
What was he going to say to make me feel better than the worse I felt? I wondered, waiting to hear his reasons and excuses, as usual.
“Look!” He yelled. “You don't walk up to strangers and slap them because you can.” His hand massaged his cheek and he fixed his gaze on me once again.
“What—?”
I was ready to slap him again, with the next batch of words that was prepared to proceed from my mouth, but he cut me short before I could finish.
“My name is Orion!” His words sounded in my ears. “Tristan is my brother. I'm sure he told you he is the Prince of a pack, and has many brothers including a twin!”
Shocked, I refused to believe my ears.
“You should also identify him without coming at the wrong person,” the stranger scoffed and walked to the car. He opened it and took out a handkerchief. “That's what people who are in love do: know who is who.”
Without saying any more words, he was out of my sight.
Did he—walk out on me?
I looked around me and there were wolves and normal humans who stared at me, pity in the eyes of some, while the others mocked me with words that they muttered to themselves.
Gripping the handbag, I hung it on my shoulder and headed to the gate.
It was hard to believe everything I heard, but what could I do?
The man who I met looked like the man I love. They had the same haircut and face, including movement.
How could this be possible?
Does it mean that Tristan never loved me? Because if he did, why did he keep his identity away from me?
How did I not know he was the Alpha's son?
How was I supposed to know? I am a woman who doesn't fancy information about people, or even leave the apartment unless it was on a date, or my trip to the company I work in.
I deserved to know!
For goodness’s sake, I have been played once again!
Who was I to think Tristan was any different? All men are the same, but he acted like he was not the same as the others.
Just as I thought, standing at the corner of the main road—voices filled the streets.
I looked to my right, and then my left. Some citizens ran helter-skelter, heading to a spot for safety.
I screamed out my lungs and turned around, pushing the gate I walked out from and rushing back into the compound.
“The masked men are at it again!” An elderly woman shouted. “Run for your safety!”
No one asked me to head back to the club I just got out from.
The loud music in the space had stopped at this point, while people stayed in a corner of the room as they cried for safety.
When would all of these end?
No one was safe in the city anymore. Not with these men who have chosen to remain unknown to us and the government.
For goodness’s sake!
Why was the police and government not doing what should be done?
What do they want exactly?
After a long while of silence in the club—not only in the club but on the street as well, everywhere was calm once again.
“They have left.” The man in uniform, working as a security guard, walked into the space with his information. “The streets are back to life.”
Now I got on my feet and walked out of the club. The noise and sounds from the speaker systems returned once more, and the people who were scared a few moments ago laughed and continued with the party that was halted.
I hopped in a cab and was at the gate of my apartment soon enough. Now was not the time to think of Tristan and his family stories, but of my life that could have been cut short a few moments ago.
The very moment I walked into my apartment, I shut the door and fell on one of the few couches in the living room.
It was at this point that the thoughts I was trying so hard to forget came into my head and for a moment, I shed tears.
Have I been used?
Wasn't it obvious?
Orion or whatever his name is, did not lie about what he said.
Wait!
What if it was Tristan, acting as though it wasn't him? I wondered, sitting up on the couch and shaking my head.
It wasn't him.
If it was him, I would know from the tone I would be spoken to, with.
He has always been a rude man and never failed to show it, whether or not he was the one at fault whenever we had a fight.
After a moment of sulking, I got on my feet.
I should have apologized to the man I slapped. But how could I? Was I going to do so with my shattered heart that seemed like it was never going to heal from the pain it went through?

TRISTAN POV It was a hustle getting back to the warehouse without getting caught. For goodness’s sake! I trained these boys to be certain of the environment while we drove past the streets. How come they didn't know the police were tracking us? I wondered when the truck parked in front of the compound. I brought out my tracker and tracked the environment in a bid to be certain we did not let enemies into our space. When it was confirmed, we then drove into the compound when one of the men who stayed back in the warehouse opened the gate.“What happened?” One of them asked and without saying a word to him, I walked past after throwing my backpack at him. Now I could hear him throw his question at the rest of the men who had gotten down from the truck, followed by their footsteps as they marched into the warehouse. In a rage, I threw the helmet on the floor. It could not be broken, after all. In a fierce rage, I led the way to one of the chairs in the space and took a seat in i

TRISTAN POV Immediately I arrived in my room, I flung the backpack on the bed. My legs led me to the wardrobe where I picked up my towel and as soon as I did, I led my way to the bathroom. After a cold bath, I walked back into the room. It was soothing to be home once again, and more than soothing to not be caught by the police. What would I have done at this point? Where would I be by now?There was no point thinking about it since it was yet to happen. Once again, my legs led me and I walked to the wardrobe where I picked an outfit for the night before heading to the door. When I walked out, I snapped my fingers and my guards emerged from their spot. “I need to see Father,” I said. “You don't have to follow me. Watch over my room.”They bowed while I walked away. The room where Father preferred to stay in the evening was quite far from where I was, so I hastened my footsteps, finding my way to the space. “Good evening, my lord.” A young woman greeted me on my way to the Ma

ORION POV My hate for him cannot be comprehended. Why is he a member of the royal family in the first place? There in the dining hall where we sat, I could not help but gaze at him with pre-hate that was obvious and wondered what exactly went wrong with him. What did he do to the pretty woman? Why did she slap me? For goodness’s sake! That slap was meant for Tristan and ended on my face. After eating, I got on my feet, and without saying a word to the rest of my brothers, I led my way out of the hall. My legs, without hesitation or delay, led me to the Manor and I looked to the right, walking in the direction leading to my royal chamber. On arrival, I threw the key to my car on the bed. A sigh escaped my lips and I fell on the bed as well. There was worry written on my face, if not for anything but on behalf of the women who fell for his trap. They were yet to know how much of a playboy he is, and how he never meant any of his feelings for them. The lay at the club said tw

EMILIA POVMy day at work was a hectic one. From giving accounts for my days at home to submitting files asked for by the manager. For goodness’s sake! I had imagined it would be different in the human world, which was why I left the Pack I belong to in the first place. But do I have to work to feed all the time? Why can't I just feed on humans and be all alright? I dumped my office key on the couch and took a seat next to it. A grimace appeared on my face when I thought of how boring my life had become. What would I do without a man like Tristan? “No way!” I sat up, shoving thoughts about him away from my head. Why was it so hard to forget about a man who played with me and my emotions? Was this the reason why he didn't want me to meet with his family during the first year of our relationship? Even in the second year, he was never willing to let me meet his parents. I have been a stupid woman. What more description would fit into how stupid I was? I got on my feet, picked

ORION POV I looked down at her, a smile on my countenance. For the first time since my encounter with her in the Club's compound, I found her pretty. “Who—” she mouthed, pointing at me. “I don't want to slap you until I am certain. Which one are you?”A chuckle escaped my lips. Who is this woman? I laughed and cocked my neck. “Who do you think it is?”She walked closer, raising her hands to touch my face. “I wouldn't know, but Tristan would not be nice. Not after all he's done.”“I thought as much,” I shifted a bit from the door and let her pass. “You used the male toilet, ma'am. I should have told you on time.”Without saying a word to me, she walked away. I wouldn't blame her, would I? I walked in, shut the door and used the toilet before finding my way out of the space.Somehow, I admired her guts.So she could come to the same bar she got herself embarrassed in, after that day? Who is this woman? I wondered again, shutting the large door and finding my way out of the bathroom.

TRISTAN POV Why was she yet to reach out to me?The last time I checked, Emilia always apologized on my behalf whenever we had issues and all I did was sit and wait to be begged, even when it wasn't her fault.It was good to see, and there was a good feeling that came with it. It has been weeks since I failed to make it to her apartment. Why have I yet to hear from her? Not even a call.A hand knocked on my door and I snapped my fingers, a signal that whoever it was at the door should find his way in. “My lord,” the guard who watched after the door of my room came in. “What is it?”“My lord Logan is here to see you.” He announced with a nod and a bow that followed next. “What does he want?” I was forced to ask while the dumb guard shook his head, signalling to me how unsure and uncertain he was of what Logan had come to do in my room.“Let him in, then,” I urged the man who nodded. He walked out in seconds and when the door opened again, there was one of the many brothers I have

EMILIA POV Who does he think he is?Normally, I was supposed to place thousands of calls and messages to Tristan, even when I knew I had done nothing wrong in this case. My mind was made up, and there was no way I would stoop very low to make such a mistake—not after what Orion told me about him. My life seemed to have become better these days and there was my job in DE ROYALS, keeping me from too many thoughts. I should make new friends. Maybe not. The last time I checked, it was a friendship that led myself and Tristan into being in a relationship I believed would last. Now what? I sipped from the glass of juice in my hand, a grimace on her face.Suddenly, my phone rang. I jumped to my feet and rushed inside from the veranda where I was seated. Without hesitation, my hand touched one of the couches and there was my phone. It was a number I had never called, nor received a call from. In shock, I gazed at the screen of my phone as I contemplated whether or not to take the cal

ORION POV It was one of those days when the Alpha wanted to address the members after a brief meeting with us. All his sons were behind him while he headed out of the pack, to our next destination, the compound. “All hail the Alpha!” The guard at the gate of the Manor yelled, watching members who were around us, turn around and bow their heads. “Long live the Alpha.”Father nodded. He managed a smile on his countenance and when I turned around to check my brothers, I discovered that one of us was missing. “Wolves!” He took a seat on the throne that was dragged out of the hall, moping at the members one after the other. “Welcome to the gathering. You may sit on the floor if you want to.” He told the wolves who nodded, while some did as told.“As you all know,” he began. “I have called you here to let you know what is to happen next.” He mouthed, turning around and saying a word to the guard who stood beside him. The guard lifted his head and met my gaze before heading in my di

TRISTAN'S POV He laughed again, laughter that burnt my chest. Laughter that made me want to punch him in the stomach and hit him on the face until I drew blood. “Who knew that in a few weeks, you'll be here with me, eh? Eating leftovers, and about to be judged by a panel of Elders and your own brothers. Life is a rollercoaster, Tristan. And it's your turn to go on that ride.”I shook my head in anger when he shoved me again. “Don't push me!” I hissed angrily. “I'm in charge here, Tristan. And you're going to do as I say. Now move!”He was right. I was now underneath him. He was in charge, and there was nothing I could do. How the mighty falleth!_________ORION'S POVStanding before my brothers and the elders, I raised my hand in silence. Before me, I held the bottle that was filled to the brim with acid, which served as an evidence before the whole court that my brother, Tristan Ironclaw had been charged for the death of a dozen people and conspiracy to kill me and the rest of t
The Alpha Twins Chapter 148
ORION'S POVStaring at Rosalind, I was filled with rage. How could Tristan be so callous? How evil could he be? For him to do such a thing to his brothers meant that he could go to any length to try and destroy most of us. It meant he was willing to go to any length to destroy whoever had been standing in his way on his charge to become the Alpha. It was a good thing that he was locked up, just where he deserved to be. There were no two ways about it. “Denver!”I called out, placing my hand atop Emilia's in order to let her know that she wasn't alone. I was annoyed, but not at her. I was offended by my brother's callousness, by his lack of human empathy, sympathy and love. Being his brother at that moment was something I wouldn't even wish on my worst enemy. He was an evil man, a very callous person, and I wanted him to be paid according to how he had lived his life, according to how evil he had been. “Yes royal one.”Denver was beside me in a flash, the worry on his face mirrorin
The Alpha Twins Chapter 147
EMILIA'S POVBrushing my teeth in the bathroom, I couldn't help but smile time and time again. My head was filled with pleasant thoughts, and that was all I cared for at the moment. I wanted the pleasant thoughts to continue, I didn't want them to end in any way. All I thought of was marriage with Orion Ironclaw, and how I wanted to spend the rest of my days with him. I imagined living in the palace, and I imagined our children running around. He was eventually going to be the Alpha, and I imagined him being disturbed by one or two thoughts and problems that plagued the land, and there I was, comforting him, telling him that everything was going to be alright. It was all I wanted to think about all day, it was where I wanted to be. I loved him to the moon and back, and with Tristan gone and locked up in jail, it was going to be a rollercoaster ride for all of us. I wanted us to get married immediately, because I didn't want any problems or obstacles. Because I wanted to continue be

ORION'S POV “Good morning chef Sarah. I want to prepare something for my girlfriend. I know you guys must have already prepared a meal for the occupants of the palace, but I'd like to prepare something special. And yes, I'd like you guys to help me. But from a distance, please don't interfere.”Sarah smiled, then nodded. It was obvious that she understood where I was coming from. Most of them had heard about the showdown with Tristan, and had probably heard that he was in prison too. Nodding, I noticed a young cook who seemed disturbed by my presence. Her hands were trembling, and she was in a corner, standing as she stared at me. Smiling at her, I noticed that she averted her eyes. But I didn't take it to heart, that was the reaction of most servants when I tried to be friendly. Without skipping a beat, I decided to start preparing breakfast for Emilia before she woke up. Asking questions, I managed to find the eggs and then put them into a bowl before whisking them. Bread was wh
The Alpha Twins Chapter 145
ORION'S POVI stirred awake, the rays of the sun that pierced the windows blinding me monetarily. For a minute, I didn't know where I was. I stared, surprised and in clear wonderment. And then I remembered. I was in the palace, in my room. And beside me was my girlfriend, a woman that I loved and had always loved. A woman that I was ready to lay down my life for, a woman that I was ready to spend the rest of my life with. Just seeing Emilia beside me made me excited. The fact that I hadn't been this close to her in months, that we were not allowed to be close to each other because of obstacles that existed in the form of my brother and her ex boyfriend made me bitter. But all that bitterness had been transformed into love now. I no longer felt bitter towards my brother, who at that moment had been handed unto the hands of the pack by the police force. We were going to deal with him, just as our laws, rules and regulations required, while they were free to deal with the remainder of
The Alpha Twins Chapter 144
EMILIA'S POVI was seated on my bed watching the television when Elena called me, telling me to turn to the NBC News channel immediately. I did so, and I was shocked at what I saw on the television. Tristan Ironclaw had been arrested after he was identified as one of the most notorious criminals of the past year. I couldn't believe it. I was actually free. Him being arrested meant that I was free to go back to my lover, and I was free to go back to the palace as well. My life had been pretty messed up, filled with ups and downs, and it was eventually time for a change. I broke down and wept, still looking at the television. Tristan Ironclaw had been the worst thing to ever happen to me. And now, he was going to jail, where he was going to spend the rest of his days. The evidence against him according to the television was massive, and I found myself wondering what they had found on him. I didn't care.All I seemed to care about at that moment was that my life was finally mine agai
The Alpha Twins Chapter 143
ORION'S POVAs soon as they shook hands, our van drove in, and in a twinkle of an eye, I could see Tristan transform into a wolf. But I was ready. Clutching the gun that was armed with several bullets, I transformed into a wolf as well, blocking his path and tripping him as he began to run. He fell in a heap on the ground, and I pointed the gun at him. He smiled at me, a nervous smile, and I shook my head, perplexed. My twin brother was a hardened criminal. He was laughing even though death was staring him in the face. He was showing that he had no remorse for whatever he had done in the past. He was just showing everybody the type of man he was. “I should've known. Who else will be in charge of my downfall if not for my own twin brother, if not for my nemesis from day one.”“You are your own nemesis, Tristan. The evil you've done in this city is only coming back to haunt you. I am your karma, and I'm telling you right now that you should surrender and hand yourself over to the pol
The Alpha Twins Chapter 142
EMILIA'S POVI nodded, acknowledging at that moment that I loved listening to Orion Ironclaw speak. His voice was soothing, especially for the fact that I hadn't heard it in days. As soon as we were done discussing the matter of Tristan Ironclaw and his masked dealers agency, I proceeded to tell them that I couldn't live with Charles anymore. It was going to be better if I checked into a hotel on the outskirts of town where he would never find me. Agreeing immediately and seemingly annoyed, Orion immediately agreed to it. He wasn't going to let anything happen to me while he was alive, he swore time and time again. I entered the car while we drove to a hotel in the outskirts. There, I checked in, and Orion paid for everything, including my room service. “After all this is over, you'll be back with me in the palace as my wife. We've suffered so much, Emilia, we deserve every good thing in the world. Which is why I'm going to say we should get married as soon as possible.”I clutche
The Alpha Twins Chapter 141
EMILIA'S POVI had swallowed it for too long. I knew that I had tried my best, and I was supposed to move forward. At least, I was supposed to be treated as if I wasn't in a dungeon anymore. If he loved me, he was going to allow me to do what I wished. He was going to let my plans flow as smoothly as I wanted it to. “I need to go out, Charles. I've been locked in here for two weeks. You've bluntly refused to let me go out. Is this love? You say you're afraid of Tristan, but you go out everyday yourself? What does that mean?”He shook his head, then tried to touch me. I ducked immediately, then swore inwardly. Why did he keep trying to touch me? It only made my skin crawl with repulsion, and I wondered if he couldn't see it. I hated him, and he wasn't even seeing it. “You need to understand that you are fragile, Emilia. I love you, and I'm trying to let you understand that.”I shook my head angrily. This wasn't love. It was something else. I didn't deserve to be locked up like an ani
