Chapter 03

I was in the room, facing the mirror on the wall while I sat on the chair, and was trying to clean up the injury in my elbow when Aimes came into the room.

Shirtless, but has his training shorts on.

He didn’t say a word to me, I looked away when he entered, focused on having my elbow treated, but surprisingly he pulled a chair close to me, and took my hand.

“Give me that, freckles.” He took the ointment from my hand, the cotton wool, gently cleaned the blood of my elbows, his hair fell to his eyes, and then he blew air from his mouth to the injury.

The fact that he was so calm and focused made him look attractive, and I just couldn’t help but stare dreamily at him.

He placed the plaster on the injury, dropped my hand on the table, and the next injury was on my knee.

“You were supposed to wear that to protect yourself…”

I scoffed as if he weren’t there when they attacked me with force.

He did the same treatment on my knee.

I watched him while he did that, wondering why he was helping. He looked up and caught me staring at him. “You will get new training clothes.” His hands were still on my knees, and that minute felt like it was an eternity, or worse.

When he took his hand off, everything was gone.

I hummed, and turned towards the mirror, trying to hide my flushed cheeks.

He stood up from the chair. “Are you coming to the Carnival?”

“Is it that important?”

“You said you were bringing your twin to the carnival, introduced her to some duck assholes, I thought I should warn you about it.”

I twirled in my seat, curiosity biting down on my throat. “Have you seen Kaiya?”

He turned and gave me a stare. “Once.”

“Isn’t she beautiful? Like a goddess with flawless skin, long brown hair that brings out her elegance? The smartest of all, a complete diva…”

The cringe look on his face made me stop talking, and I twirled back to face the mirror slightly embarrassed.

There came a knock on the door, and Aimes went to get it. I thought it was Cameron, but it turns out it was Elijah.

I leaned against the door. “That was some sneaky game you played earlier, munchball.”

I scorned and eyed him.

“The coach wants to see you, Captain. You should get ready, the carnival is tonight.”

“I’m not going.”

“Everyone on the team is going to be there, someone might be lucky to find a mate.”

I clicked my tongue at him. “The mating ceremony is not now but a month away.”

“You know what, fuck you.”

I rolled my eyes at him, and faced the mirror again, peeped at Aimes putting a shirt on, when he turned, he caught me staring at him through the mirror.

“Your twin, is she coming tonight?” Elijah asked, Kaius never told me about the carnival, and I’m not sure he had any intention of bringing me here.

“She won’t be here tonight.”

“Why?”

“She’s away at school.”

“Govan College will be there too.”

I snapped my head at Elijah, how come I never knew that? And nobody informed me about it. I took my phone, and noticed that I archived our group chat at school, and the only friend I’ve got barely even comes to school or informs me about anything.

Fuck.

What am I going to do?

I cleared my throat. “It doesn’t mean she has to come.”

Elijah shrugged. “I think she’s indeed evil as they said.”

“She’s the sweetest person ever!” I defended myself, and my voice came out a bit loud, almost sounding very feminine.

Aimes gave me a slanted look, then shook his head.

“Let’s go, El.”

They walked out of the room, slammed the door behind them, and I almost screamed my lungs out.

I placed a call through Kaius immediately. It rang for a while but there was no answer.

He didn’t pick up his phone.

I gave him two missed calls, and was going to call the third time.

Yet, nothing.

I palmed my forehead, I need to do something.

If I should go to the carnival dressed as Kaiya or just stay as I am.

My phone rang, a call from Kaius, I picked up immediately.

“Sorry I missed your call, I was in practice.”

“Why did you call?” He asked when I fell silent.

“The carnival.”

“Why didn’t you tell me about it?”

“It’s not your style, Elizabeth, that’s why I didn’t bother, and I wasn’t going to take you there in a place mostly filled with rugged boys and unmated wolves. It’s not important.”

My voice softened. “I hope you win this time, Kaius.”

“Thank you, my little princess.”

I chuckled, pushing back the tears. “I’m 5’7 and only Dad gets to call me that, and I’m the older twin.”

“Well doesn’t mean I can’t treat you like the princess that you are.”

I smiled, even after the call ended.

I breathed out, looked at where his clothes were, and I needed to find an outfit for the carnival, but the carnival was four hours again, so I needed a little practice before I left.

I put on my training shoes, and Aimes’ Jersey. He was going to kill me for it, but I didn’t mind, I needed something to wear since mine got torn, and he was the one who promised to get me another one, so?

I jogged out of the room and down to the field. I needed to warm my body, so I decided to do some exercise.

Until someone hit me with the puck.

“Sorry.”

“My hand slipped.”

I growled, knowing fully well that it wasn't an accident.

He waved at me, grinning like he hadn’t just hit me.

“Baby boy.” I recognized the voice from the bathroom, he was the one who said that, but who is he?
