Chapter 6

Andrea’s POV

The twins. They were right in front of me, and were stopping me from joining another pack. For fuck’s sake, isn’t it what they wanted? Why were they now trying to stop me from joining the pack?

They were so confusing.

But I didn’t want to stay back to hear what they came here to say. All that I knew was that I was seconds away from joining this pack, and no one could stop me.

“Let’s go ahead with it, my Alpha,” I said to him.

His blood was dripping down as he watched between me and the lycan men that were standing at the threshold of his office, not knowing whose words to take.

“This is an Omega from my pack,” Lucas started as he shifted back to his human form.

I watched as his bones crack, forming back into his usual human shape. I wondered what it would be like if I could shift whenever I wanted.

It would be so nice, and I won’t have to go through all of the pain werewolves go through before they shifted, if it wasn’t the full moon.

“She came here, with the request of joining my pack. I was ready to take her in.” The Alpha explained as he took a step back from me.

Fuck.

These men. Couldn’t they have allowed me to leave my life in peace? They came all the way here to prevent him from taking me into his pack, and I wasn’t even sure if they had a good reason.

Perhaps they thought they weren’t done tormenting me, so they decided to track me down and do it one last time.

I hated them. I wished something worse than death upon them, because of the embarrassment they made me face today. They should just leave me alone.

They have done enough. I wanted to stand up and yell at them to fuck off and let me live my life, but Lucas beat me to it.

“Without a background check?” He made a low sound of disapproval, kissing his teeth as he took a step forward.

He shifted back into his human form, then he turned his neck to face me. His eyes bore into mine, and his lips lift into a smirk. If only I could tell him how disgusted I was by his face.

If only I could.

“I don’t think I need your opinion on how I would take someone into my own pack,” the Alpha hissed. “What are the both of you doing here, and who is she to you?”

“She is our mate. She ran away so she could join another pack.” Damon lied through his teeth.

My eyes rounded up in disbelief. I was stunned to silence. This bastard. He didn’t just lie about me when I literally standing before him.

The Alpha turned his neck to face me. I could see the allegation in his eyes. He believed him. Anything I was going to say to him again was not going to be relevant.

My vocal cords forgot how to speak, and I felt like there was a boulder in my neck. I wanted to open my mouth and defend myself, but I didn’t even have the words to do so.

I kept staring at Damon, my lips parted into a gape.

“Why will you lie to me?” The Alpha asked.

He wasn’t asking them. He was asking me. He believed that I would have the potential of lying to him when he didn’t ask my side of the story again.

I disliked him. I disliked the twins standing before us. I hated men. I just wanted to be left alone but these twins always seem to find me to destroy every good thing I have in my life.

“I am not lying,” I shook my head, even though talking about it didn’t matter. I was going to be out because I would be damned to join a pack where the Alpha was a freaking misogynist that would believe the word of men over mine.

“She is. Don’t lie to him, Andrea. You have already been caught. Now come on, your mother is waiting for you. She wondered why you suddenly bolted away in the middle of the mating ceremony. Our mating ceremony.” Lucas came forward, then extended a hand to me.

I wanted to break his hand. To twist it until he was crying as his bones broke and he started to beg me for mercy.

There was no choice for me. It was either I followed him, or I stay back. I don’t think I have much interest in staying back any longer. If I stand up and bolt out of the office, then they were going to come for me again.

I stood up to my feet, ignoring his outstretched hand. I slowly started to walk outside of the pack quarters, and the twins paced behind me.

“Thanks for your help,” Lucas said to the Alpha.

The Alpha made a little sound of agreement which I heard from afar.

A low hiss escaped my lips as I headed out of the borders of the pack, none of the twins saying a word to me until we were outside in the woods and on our way back.

“You know, Andrea. I really didn’t think you will have the balls to leave.” Damon started to speak, but Lucas stopped him.

“Man. It’s enough.” He snapped.

I could tell Damon didn’t like his brother shutting him up that much, but he didn’t say anything again afterward which was a relief.

The rest of the silent trek home made me feel really uncomfortable. Many possible reasons were coursing through my head about why they came to get me, but none of them seemed to sense.

“Maybe they want us.” Kira, my wolf, squealed.

I rolled my eyes. No, they didn’t. The twins could never want me even if I was the last breathing girl standing.

“We could get mated to these hot ass men. They’ve always made us feel hot, haven’t they?” She added.

I gasped. I didn’t know if they could hear my wolf, so I quickly shut her up. When we reached our pack, I started to feel the pain again.

The humiliation. The eyes that bore into me, and the looks of shock in people's eyes which I was sure had to be with why I was coming out of the woods with the men that rejected me.

It felt embarrassing. I headed towards the palace because that was the only place I could be, since I was sure the mating ceremony was over.

“Where is my mother?” I stopped abruptly, turning to face them.

“She is in the palace. With our father.” Lucas replied respectfully.

I wanted to chug the sweet tone he used on me down his neck until he choked while he was crawling and bawling for help.

I’ve never thought it was possible to despise a person, or in my situation, two persons this way.

I heard my wolf sigh dreamily. She still wasn’t over how we were mated tonight even though they rejected us.

“Can you even imagine what we would have been doing by now if we got mated? Hottt.” She drooled.

I never had an urge to cover her mouth with tape, because it would devastate me if they could hear her.

It will be funny how I looked at them like they were the only pieces of garbage in this pure world while my wolf was feeling lust for them.

“Did she report me missing? Is that the reason why the both of you came to get me?” I couldn’t help but ask.

The twins turned to face each other. They looked irritated by the question, especially Damon who gritted his teeth.

“Andrea. Turn around and head to the palace.” Lucas growled with authority laced in his tone.

They weren’t going to tell me what to do. They could hit me here, but I wasn’t going until I satisfied my curiosity about why the hell they saved me when I was about to leave their crosshairs.

It has been their wish for so long. Heck, I won’t be shocked if they actually have that as their birthday wishes.

But still, they couldn’t stay away from me. Some minutes later and they entered a pack that wasn’t theirs and went as far as lying to get me to come back with them.

“I’m not going to,” I shook my head, crossing my arms around my chest. “I need to know why. I want to.”

“You stupid little fuck. I said turn your back and leave.” Damon snarled.

I flinched, but I still stood my ground.

“I’m going to drag you into the fucking palace myself if you don’t cooperate.”

I ignored him.

Lucas laughed. The humorless and dead kind of laugh that sent goosebumps rising on my skin.

“Okay. You want to know why?” He asked.

“Yes.” I nodded.

“Your whore of a mother wants to marry my father. We are about to become fucking siblings.” He stated.

No.

The blood on my face drained, and my hands got clammy that second. He had to be lying.

He just had to be.
