The Wrong Alpha Twin

-Willow-“Wow, how do you always end up looking so good?”I chuckled as I folded a white shirt to put in my little suitcase. My friend Eva was sitting with her feet up on my coffee table, her black boots dirty and soiling my desk, while she read the latest gossip magazine for supernatural creatures. You wouldn’t think two different-looking people—one dark and gothic, the other light and fluffy—could be such good friends, but I would bury a dead body with her if she asked, which I fear one day she might.“I don’t look that good. It’s the right lighting, photoshopped,” I reminded her, then grabbed the remote on my table and poked her dirty boots, but Eva didn’t take the hint. She kept looking at the magazine with me and Carter plastered on two huge pages, looking so good in our ceremonial attire. The ceremony for our union was getting closer, and I couldn’t be more excited, yet that didn’t mean I wanted dirty boots on my coffee table.“Sure, sure, the beautiful always say that.”“Say wh

-Cain-With the bag swung over my shoulder, I walked over the gravel leading to the backdoor of the grand house. Lighting burst through the sky behind me, making me turn my head and see how fast the weather had changed. I was glad I managed to catch that last flight before I was sure that all the planes were grounded. I grabbed the handle, allowing myself into my old home. I walked through the little relaxation room with the glass roof and walls that gave a wonderful view of the garden and into the warm palace. It was strange being back, but when the king called, you listened. As I walked through the house, I came to the entrance, catching Carter coming down the stairs all dressed up and smelling far away from his usual powerful cologne. I was unsure how he wasn’t drowning in the scent. We were alphas, and our heightened senses made sure nothing slipped by us. It almost choked me as I caught a whiff of it. I let out a little sound, and it made Carter turn his head as he took the last

-Willow- I had the most heavenly dream. While I had had some dirty dreams before, this was like nothing I had ever tried. I was pretty sure I had even come from the dream while some massive alpha had taken me on my bed. I had never seen an alpha so big, maybe except for the king, and he turned me and got me on all fours as he kept slamming into me over and over, growling how I was his and how good I was for letting him knot me. I knew only alphas did that to their true mates in hopes of impregnating them, but despite the pain from being sealed shut like that, it felt incredible when the pain was replaced with pleasure. I came every time he did it, and I began even craving him to knot me over and over. The dream was truly like nothing I had ever tried before. Even as I slowly woke up, my body felt as if it had been used. I groaned, shifting slightly, only to feel a sharp pain between my legs. I opened my eyes, sitting up a little. My room seemed like it was yesterday, but then I notic

-Willow-I sat in the window overseeing the garden, feeling like my heart might explode from the pain that was swirling inside it. I couldn’t believe what was happening. I couldn’t believe how I was trapped in this predicament, and I had nowhere to run. I thought about calling Eva, but I couldn’t face anyone right now. I felt so humiliated. Not even my best friend. I feared what even she would think of me when she learned what had happened. Was I just a whore now? I understood that the mate connection had power, but I also knew how she-wolves who threw themselves at the males were looked at in my world, and now it seemed like I might be deemed as loose.What is happening? Suddenly, my wolf began stirring, sounding disoriented.“Finally!” I exclaimed. “You there?”Willow? What’s going on?“Where have you been?”Um…“Willow?” A dark voice called into my room, and I turned my head. The moment I put my eyes on Cain, my heart began hammering, and my wolf began growling in my head.“Cain…”

-Willow-My mother walked around me, going over how I looked in my ceremonial dress. It was the one I had planned to wear to mine and Carter’s ceremony, and instead I was wearing it for someone completely else. It made me feel dirty and wrong, as if I had actually cheated. I had, but as my wolf kept reminding me, Cain was also my mate, so I couldn’t forget we were also destined to be together. But did that mean I had cheated on Cain for being with Carter? It was all very confusing, and I couldn’t wait until this day was over. I believed my parents felt the same way because they had barely spoken to me since arriving, and as I got ready, had my hair and makeup done, and got in my dress, my mother gave me a look I had never seen before. She had never been disappointed in me before, but that was the only way I could interpret the look in her eyes—she was disappointed. My mother reached out and suddenly tugged on the side of the dress, pulling a little hard so it felt like I was being pul
