All Chapters of Her Twin Alphas: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

ELLAThat man had my eye color.That was the thought that rang in my head when he told me I was hired.I couldn’t look away from his eyes, and at that moment, I didn’t think of it as keeping eye contact; it was more of me admiring the eye color.‘You have the galaxy in your eyes.‘ Wendy had said that to me the first time she saw me.And this man…he had the galaxy in his eyes too. Pink, blue, and purple all melded into a swirling hue with silver dots.Eyes of a freak.Eyes that weren’t human.Eyes that weren’t normal.I blinked and realized I’d been staring for far too long. “My apologies,” I said with a nervous smile.“It’s not a problem my dear,” The man said.He seemed like a good person.For one, I did not get any alarm bells in my head, and I felt calm and safe around him.“So, about your new job,” he said, turning to the counter. “Working hours for starters are from 8 am till 2 pm. Your pay is twenty-five dollars per hour, and you can take extra hours if you so wish. You’re expec

ELLA"I'm your father." The man I’d come to know as Adonis said.My jaw dropped.My father?Like my birth father?"I know you're shocked right now," He said after I had taken a long time to answer.It wasn't my fault; I was simply too shocked to express my feelings for him."My father?" I asked softly. "And you've lived in Seattle all along?"He nodded.“Oh my goodness.” I laughed bitterly.“Ella, I understand how you must be feeling right now, but—““But what exactly?” I scoffed. “No, I don't think you understand. Do you have even the faintest idea how much I had to suffer at the hands of…” My words trailed as I held off on mentioning Mom and Jack. “I can't believe you right now!""Ella, your emotions are valid, okay? I just need you to—“"You need me to do what?” I threw my hands up, “Whatever you want me to do, I'm not doing it! And don't talk to me like you're my therapist or something! You've lived in Seattle all along, and I have suffered unspeakable horrors! And now you show up

ELLAI woke up exhausted.For a few minutes, I was disoriented, not knowing where I was or how I had gotten there.It took a while for the pieces to all fit together.I remembered Adonis, the wolf, the drive to his house, and the girl who instantly hated me at first sight.I sighed and got out of bed.I went to the bathroom and freshened up, ready to go about my day.When I went down, I saw that the dining table was set for breakfast.Adonis was seated at the head of the table, and he beckoned for me to join them."You're still here?" Sara snapped the moment she laid eyes on me. She rolled her eyes and scoffed."Sara, that wasn't nice," Adonis said sternly. "Quit those jokes.""Sorry, Dad,” Sara sighed, looking anything but sorry."Ella, how are you this morning?" Adonis asked, a smile on his face as he stared at me. "Join us, and don't be shy."I wasn't shy, but whatever.I took a seat far away from Sara.A chef came out from the kitchen and served my food.A plate of toast, fried eg

ELLA"Um..." I stuttered, my eyes wide with the sight that had transpired before me. The sound of the slap Adonis had given Sara echoed in my mind. "You shouldn’t have done that," I said softly.Adonis turned to me, his head tilting curiously.I didn’t like that he hit Sara because of me.I mean, I didn't need my father to show his love for me by hurting his other daughter."You should check on her," I said again."There's no need for that." He finally spoke, “She's an alpha's daughter. If she can't be as strong as you, that's on her."My jaw went slack. This was strange."You won't check on her?” I tried again, hoping that maybe he had tried to tell a bad joke and failed."No." He said firmly. He meant it. Totally.There was no persuading him. Wow."Well, I have to get back to work," I said, the awkward air between us worsening."Have a great day." He said.There was a

ELLA"Is everything okay, Ella?" Brenda, one of the girls who worked at the cafe with me, asked.When she offered me a sandwich during lunch break, I suspected she had something to say."Yes," I said with a soft smile. "Why wouldn't it be?""Well," She wrung her hands together in apprehension. "We've been really worried about you. And we wanted to know if everything is okay with you."My mind drifted back to the incident that had happened some time ago with Adonis and Sara.I shook my head and focused my gaze on Brenda. “I’m fine.”"Do you need some time off to sort stuff at home?" She persisted.She meant no harm; I know she did, but somehow, that statement triggered something inside me.I could handle myself just fine. I didn’t need anyone's pity, not even a sliver."No. I am not taking any time off. I won’t quit.” I said, more to myself than to her. "I'm fine.”"
