Double Bound

"Diane! Diane!" I threw the door open, scanning the bedroom hastily. My frantic voice permeated the entire house as I called out for my sister. She wasn't in her room. Neither was she in the living room, nor the library. My chest heaved as my heart palpitated wildly. Diane could be anywhere. I had to find her before she hurt herself or worse. Like last week, my mind supplied and goosebumps littered my arms. Crap no, last week could not repeat itself. I had almost had a damned heart attack seeing my sister's golden hair all wet and mussed up in the mud, her eyes closed and her body limp. We had found her next to an abandoned shack a few meters away from the house. I had no idea how she had wandered that far. Our house was right atop a small hill in Claw Village. It was hard to miss. We lived on the outskirt of the village anyways, away from the werewolves who detested our stench. The stench of humans. Diane was all I had left, the only other human I could relate with and the only

This was crazy. I shouldn't be here. I stood before a wooden door. Its handles looked worn with age and use, and it had a few holes that made it look rather unstable. Hell, a puny human like me could kick it down in a flash, not to mention overpowered werewolves. They had to know I was there. Though I couldn't hear a thing, no movement, not a sound, I was certain that they knew I was there. They most likely could smell it all. My fear, my apprehension and though I hated to admit it, my excitement. Balling my hand into a fist, I knocked on the fragile thing, listened to it rattle and let out a shaky breath when I heard Antonio speak. "Come in Ava," This was it. I was sacrificing it all for Diane and as long as she was fine, as long as she could live, I would sell myself in captivity if I had to. "Now come on," Adam's nonchalant voice reached my ears when I walked in. "There's no need to look so glum. If anyone saw you, they'd think we threatened to devour you."The twin Alpha Pri

“Okay, let's not get worked up Father," Adam stepped in, holding his hands up in the air before him, smiling funny. “The king's Lycan gaze shifted to him, threatening to burn his shirt off him. At least that's what, I thought, would happen eventually if the king kept glaring at him. “I'm not worked up,” he gritted. “You are,” Antonio hummed, a small smile gracing his lips. “Look at all that steam coming out of your ears.” “They are not!” The king roared, and my head dropped to the ground as a jolt of fear spread through me. What The hell was going on? I felt foolish, stuck in an argument that was about me, but I didn't have a clue why exactly. “I believe they are,” Adam taunted, obviously enjoying his father's discomfort. “Look, our mate is all terrified. What kind of father-in-law are you?” I peeked up at the king to see him falter in his steps, his eyes flickering from gold to blue as if he were uncertain o

Adam and Aiden exchanged uneasy glances, and Adam stepped forward, his voice cautious but resolute. “Mother, we didn't bring Ava here with any ulterior motives. It's just that… well, you see, she's our mate.”The queen's eyes narrowed, “Oh yes, I heard that. How could you go out there and mate with a human? Both of you!!”Aiden nodded. “We can't exactly control who we mate with, mother. It's not how it works, and you know that. Our world chose her”“Well, your wolf better reject her instantly because I will not accept this rubbish!”I reared back as if I were just slapped. Rejection? How is it so easy for her to say that?Adam took a step closer to their mother, his face hard, “That's out of the question, mother. We are not going to do that!” “You wouldn't dare to disobey your mother, boy.”“Just watch me…"Aiden placed a hand on his brother's shoulder and stepped between them, “Alright. Calm down Adam. Mother, we are adults, and we are capable of making decisions for ourselves. So

A loud clatter interrupted the few seconds of silence that followed the Luna's words, and it only took a few moments before I realized that it was from me because I had dropped the spoon and plate before loudly on the floor.“I'm sorry." I muttered shakily, bending to pick up the silverware.“Mirinda…" The Alpha said, grabbing her hand to shut her up, as if she hadn't delivered a blow already.She shook her hand away and fixed a glare at me.“I'm just saying the truth. You can't possibly allow them to do this! It's outrageous. This girl here is nothing and a poor nobody. What can she offer the clan as a Luna? A human Luna? Ugh…" the last word was punctuated with an exaggerated shudder.“I don't need to allow them do anything. They are adults, I am sure, they know what they are doing.”Bless this Alpha.“Obviously they don't. The council won't allow this, the people won't hear of it…you think the Werewolves would be okay? to have a mere human leading them?”Well, at least she is being
