Semua Bab Mated to the twin Alphas : Bab 91 - Bab 100

[Nanisca]My heart momentarily stopped working the moment I stepped into my bedroom, and met Declan by my dresser, touching God-knows-what. I had dashed back to my bedroom to get off my clothes, after a successful mission, and no, I wasn't expecting to see him or anyone else in my bedroom.Fortunately for me, I was quick to hide my surprise, and proceeded to undress, completely ignoring him. "What are you doing snooping around my stuff? I asked in the most casual tone I could muster at the moment, after breathing in and out a few times."What are these?" Declan asked instead, ignoring my question. I knew he would ask whenever he came around, and yet I was not prepared to answer him. "How did you get a raise?" He asked again, and I braced up. I had leverage over him, and I must never forget."I earned it." I replied with an air of indifference. I knew that would spite him, but I did it anyway. Maybe it was what I wanted.

[Declan]I let go of Nanisca's hand the instant Dylan's words sunk into my head. For a moment, I was caught up between leading Nanisca out of Dylan's bedroom and obeying Dylan's order.Slowly, the urge to rescue Nanisca gave way for the need to adhere to Dylan, and I did. Whatever force was leading me to do Nanisca's bidding stopped at Dylan's order.I turned a confused look at Nanisca's direction, suddenly not sure what made me come in here in the first place, or why I had considered rescuing her. I remembered leaving Dylan's room some hours ago in search of Nanisca, and how I had planned on dealing ruthlessly with her for attempting to poison Avira's food.I had no idea how everything changed, or how I stopped thinking about making her suffer to think about rescuing her. But I knew it was the pact. It had to be it. Now I looked stupid standing in front of everyone else, reeking of sex mixed with Nanisca's smell, bound by the pact, and

[Avira]I waited for Alpha Magnus to continue, with a tightness in my chest. I feared that my heart would burst open if I didn't take in enough air or let out enough air soon enough.But how could I bring myself to breath when my whole world was spinning, and spinning really fast so that my head ached, and I felt dizzy. "He was murdered in cold blood, stabbed with a dagger." Alpha Magnus continued. His eyes were fixed on the crowd now but I couldn't stop fear from crawling into me.The murmuring from the crowd was louder now, and so was the sound of my heartbeat as it hammered violently against my chest.My eyes travelled to Dylan and Declan just then, and like the others, they were just as shocked. Declan stepped away from his position, and headed out, probably to see Thorne for himself. I would have thought it was Declan who had killed Thorne but for the shock in his eyes. And now the question of who killed Thorne is left in

[Declan]I got into my ceremonial wear which consisted of a ash coloured shirt with a high neck, and reaching my knees. It had a slit at both sides. A black trouser was under it that matched the black stetson hat which now laid on my dresser, waiting to be picked up.I felt nervous, and even though I told myself otherwise, I knew just why I was nervous."You've advanced with your men to battle with warriors of other packs who are just as strong as you without breaking into a sweat. This is not some bloody warfare, so why are you nervous now?" I said to the reflection in the mirror.In a few hours, the pack's mating ceremony would commence, and God, I was nervous. For months, since Avira arrived at the pack, I had dreamed, imagined and fantasized about this day, seen myself as Avira's mate, and so looked forward to this day with so much impatience.But now that the day had arrived, the realization that I might not be mated to Avira had set in, and taken most of the day's excitement alo

[Avira]The coldness I felt the moment I stepped forward was strange. Like electric currents, it surged through every part of my body in half a second, and left me shivering.I couldn't tell whether or not the shivering was as a result of my fear, or the cold. But the sensation reminded me of Moonfire pack, during the sorting rite.The pack's Gamma was reciting some more incantations now, and the air was becoming even thicker. There were a lot of us who were of the mating age, and who had stepped forward. I felt Alpha Magnus' eyes on me but I didn't turn to look at him. I did not want to see the hate in them, or the look of disdain. "Let the moon goddess decide and reveal each and every of your mates." Gamma declared in a loud voice, and then a deafening silence filled the hall, thick and heavy with anticipation. The air felt charged, humming with the primal pull of mates finding each other, as if the stone walls themselves were waiting
