~Devonte~SHIT! I feel like I’m fumbling this entire conversation. I feel like I’m making this worse than it needs to be. I continue to pace, figuring out the right way to say what I’m trying to say. My brother and I are twins, and we share a mate. We have to figure out how to make this work, or things will be difficult. I want us to be close again….I’ve missed my brother.“ ‘Te…..” my brother growls. “There’s something you’re not telling me, and I want to know what it is.” I stop and throw my head back, shutting my eyes. I sigh loudly and open my eyes. I find the couch and plop on it, not looking at my brother.“I……” Vonte sits in a chair next to the couch. He leans forward, elbows on his knees. His eyes are burning a hole in me, and I’m starting to feel uncomfortable. I take a deep breath and slowly let it out. “Do you remember me switching schools?”“Of course I do. I never knew why it happened; Mom and Dad wouldn’t even tell me. That was the beginning of our separation if you ask
~Sonya~Once Devonte left me, my anger soared. Just who the fuck does he think he is? He knows I can destroy him, but he goes anyway?! I know it’s all because of that bitch, but it won’t last. I’m going to make sure an example is made out of her.I pulled my phone out and dialed the number I’d been saving for a while. It was a quick conversation, but all the necessary information was shared. I hung up, knowing things would go in my favor sooner than anyone thought.I decided to wait downstairs for that bitch. Although I have plans for everyone, she still needs to understand that I’m not one to fuck with. I’ve been training for years and know she’s no match for me.I scent her coming down the stairs and see she’s alone. I push her into the wall the minute she steps off the bottom steps. Her body connects heavily, and her head knocks against the wall. It wasn’t hard enough to knock her out, but I know it made a mark.I take advantage and start to punch her in the side and back. “Just th
~Devonte~“So let me get this straight…..” We’ve been in the Alpha’s office since the warriors hauled Sonya away. I told everyone about the discussion with Sonya; I included her threats against Lynn but skipped the threats against me. I don’t know how I feel about everyone knowing about my proclivities. Now, Landon is trying to come to terms with everything. “Sonya not only attacked the sitting Beta, but she also threatened the same Beta. She issued a challenge, yet she’s not in the cells and isn’t dead. As a matter of fact, she was sent to stay with Adela. Have I gotten that right?” The room is quiet, with everyone looking around. I get the confusion. The fact that Sonya threatened Lynn is enough for her to be sentenced to death. At the very least, she should be locked in the cells. She shouldn’t have even been able to challenge Lynn after everything she’s done.“Uh, Lynn….care to fill in the blanks?” I look at Lincoln, who looks a bit more stressed than his brother. Lynn is pacing t
~Aida~I’ve been over this and over this, but there isn’t a clear answer. My body is screaming out for my mate, my fated mate. He’s right here, right in front of me. I just….I can’t come to terms with the fact that he’s who he is.Ivan is a vampire! How is it that I’m fated to a vampire of all people? It isn’t like it never happens; I’ve heard of this here and there. I just never thought I’d get a second chance mate, and it would be a vampire. How am I supposed to deal with that?To accept Ivan as my mate, I’d eventually mark him. I mark Ivan, and I will lose my wolf, so essentially, I will lose a part of me. How can I go into this knowing that a part of who I am will be gone? I feel like none of this is fair. This must be a punishment for everything I’ve done.There’s too much flooding in my head, and I needed to get it out. I push back the covers and put my feet on the floor. I need to speak to him, but I’m not even sure what we need to speak about. I don’t even know what to say to
~Lynn~We are enjoying breakfast with Tia, Landon, Lincoln, and the baby. Nikki and Paul actually made an appearance, too. Usually, they eat at home, but they stopped by today. Kian has been laughing and cooing, being passed around and doted on. That is one loved kid, but who can help it? He’s such a cutie.Surprisingly, Stuart isn’t around this morning. He’s hardly ever away from his grandpup or Tia these days. I asked him why he didn’t just move back onto packlands, but he said he isn’t worthy of that yet. He said he did more than enough damage and needs to right things before being welcomed back. I have to say, I’ve known him my entire life, but I’ve never known him to be a good man until recently. If Stuart had been here, though, most of us wouldn’t have gotten a crack at Kian. He loves that child so much; Paul does, too. Those two with Kian are a sight to see.I know I’m making heart eyes right now. Somehow, Kian ended up in Vonte’s arms, and I swear my ovaries are screaming at m
~Devonte~We are all seated in the Alpha office, and it’s awkward as fuck. The twins are at their desks with Tia between them. My parents are sitting in front of one desk, Sonya’s Dad is in front of another, and my brother, me, and Lynn are sitting on the couch.I anxiously look around the room, not quite knowing what to say or do at this point. Everyone else looks pretty lost, so I feel a bit better knowing it isn’t just me. “Where’s my daughter?!” I gulp a bit, trying to ready myself to answer that question. Lynn squeezes my leg, and I feel her pushing calm vibes through our bond. One of the twins clears their throat.“She’s currently being housed in a cottage a bit away from the packhouse.”“Why is she there? Why isn’t she staying in the packhouse?” Peter stands up, and a growl rips from him. I feel him push out his Gamma aura, though, in this room, it carries no weight. I hear Vonte snicker, and I slightly shake my head. The thing is for him to increase his anger and jump on peopl
~Sonya~I had a late night and a semi-early morning. I’ve been training in this small living room. I know I don’t need to do much because I’ve been training most of my life. I’ve even trained with royal guards, so I know that I have a lot of skills. I can’t wait to show what I can do and destroy that bitch.When I got up this morning, that girl was walking back into the cottage. I don’t even really know who she is or why she’s here, but she’s definitely being watched. She came in and went straight to a back room. I just have to be here for another day or two, and then I can go back to the castle with Devonte.A knock on the door pauses my crunches. I already know she isn’t going to come to answer the door, so I get up and open it. “Daddy!” I launch myself on my dad, ecstatic that he’s here. If he’s here, that means that Devonte’s parents are here too.My dad wraps his arms around my body and squeezes me. He pulls back from me so I can see his face. “What did you do, mi amor? What were
~Lynn~“So, let me get this straight. You and dad…..you and mom…..you two get like…kinky in the bedroom?”“Damn, ‘Te! Did you really have to ask that?”“What?! I want to clarify what we’re talking about right now.” My giggles turn into full-blown laughter. Everyone takes a second to stare at me, and I’m immediately embarrassed. Well, only a little.I try to cough in a lame attempt to cover my amusement, but I know the cat is out of the bag. “Maybe I should go and let you three talk.” I rise to my feet and am immediately yanked back down. I look at Devonte, confused.“If we have to hear this, you have to too. We are mated, so we are in this together.” I smile and shake my head, getting comfortable between my mates. Gamma Lawson clears his throat, and we give him our attention.“Let’s put all the cards on the table. While what anyone does in the privacy of their bedroom is their own business, yes, your mom and I like to get…..creative from time to time. Devonte, son, you got your prefer
