"Come on Haidan." Antoine murmured moving forward so that his face was getting dangerously close to mine. "I'm not that bad of a choice, am I?" "You..." I whispered as I felt a small flutter in my stomach at our close proximity. "You're getting too close." "Does it make you uncomfortable?" Antoine asked, allowing his breath to tickle my skin. "Or is it turning you on?" Meeting Antoine's gaze, I tried to determine the answer to his question myself. Was I uncomfortable? Or was I actually becoming turned on by this? If it was the latter, then was it because Antoine looked so much like Ashton? "I don't know." I responded as Antoine's face began to block out my vision. His lips touched mine with a feather-soft lightness, sending a tingle running through my body. Pulling away, his eyes began to search my face for any sign of argument against his actions. Satisfied that there was nothing there, he pressed his lips to mine again, this time much more firmly. Haidan had always found Ashton, the elder of the Alpha twins to be her knight in shining armor, especially after a near death experience when she was young. So enthralled she decided on a whim, to confess. That was the day her entire world came crashing down. Suffering from rejection, Haidan's best friend and the younger Alpha twin Antoine, proposes a deal to help Haidan forget her heartbreak. What will she choose? And would she come to regret that decision or thrive because of it?

Lilly murmured in awe as she took me in."Thanks." I responded, still trying to process how I even managed to get to this point.The fight with King Nigel was over, and two weeks had passed in a blur. Two agonizing weeks of cleaning out the lycan pack of any and all remaining enemies that may oppose me ascending the throne in King Nigel's place. Though I half expect
Beginning to shift, I prepared to take King Nigel on single-handedly. Just hearing that I was born to die really pissed me off, and I would be damned if I went with him just so he could kill me."Oh, look." King Nigel cackled. "I hit a nerve!"Not letting him get to me any further, I lunged forward, only to stop when Antoine grabbed me by the arm.Confused I looked to him wondering exactly what was going on. His eyes that took me in were an unfathomable shade of gold as his anger rolled stronger than mine."Together." He said, smirking. "Let's end this man."
The air around us seemed to drop many degrees as Antoine took in my words. From the look on his face, it was pretty clear that he didn't expect me to say what I did."I'll become alpha." Antoine said firmly, a look of determination forming on his face. "When that happens, he won't have a say.""The rest of the pack." I added meekly. "We've been exiled. They won't accept us coming back.""Let me take care of that." Antoine pushed. "I don't give a shit what it takes, I will make sure you're accepted back."Letting a long breath escape me I tried to think of another way to explain this. Sure, maybe he could make that h
I don't know how long I stayed in Antoine's arms crying before I was finally pryed free and laid on a cot by Tj, who looked frustrated."Did you intend to let this go until it healed completely like this?" He demanded, beginning to examine my compound fracture. "Also, did you get into a fight with a bonfire?"Too upset to bother responding, I remained quiet, unable to bite back at his insults.How could he be okay knowing that one of his friends was now gone? How could they expect me to act like I was alright knowing that he died to save me?"Just fix it." Antoine snapped in my stead. "Can't you see that she is upset?"
The first thing I felt were claws sinking into my skin. The second was flames licking at my skin.You thought you'd get away, didn't you?' The lycan laughed manically as he opened his burning lips to reveal bloody gums and teeth starting to fall out. 'Well, you were wrong!'Swiftly lowering his head, he tried to clamp down on my neck. Quickly dodging so his mouth slammed into the ground, I began to struggle. My skin was starting to blister and I could smell the scent of
'RUN!' I yelled after quickly linking with her. 'THEY'VE TRICKED US!'Confused Thia released the lycan she was finishing off just in time to look up and spot the massive balls of fire flying straight towards us.Not wasting any time, she quickly turned and began to run towards me as our other comrades realized what was going on as well.Pure chaos broke out as the first fireball connected with the ground, sending dirt and rocks flying while setting a nearby tree on fire. Due to perfect conditions, it quickly went up in flames and began to spread to its neighbors.Eyes widening, I watched as limbs began to snap and fall to
I slowly looked around at the forest as my team travelled deeper and deeper. Just beyond was the compound of the devil himself, and instead of staying far away, here we were growing too close for comfort."Are you double-thinking your decision?" Thia whispered, coming up beside me. "No one made you come.""No." I shot back instantly, feeling offended. "I will never regret doing this."How could I regret doing this? It was a means to an end and the only way my mother and I could be free. Though I couldn't deny I was scared, I could honestly say that I wasn't regretting this."Good girl." Thia smirked, smacking my back.
The next morning, as I dressed, I couldn't stop the anxiety that was beginning to rush through me at what was about to happen.Sure, I had accepted that this was something that had to be done, and in our world, war and fighting were a normal thing, but that didn't mean that I had to be excited about it.If anything, I was terrified about what would happen during it. Would we be able to accomplish our goal of taking out King Nigel and his men? Would we end up being caught and possibly killed instead? I couldn't even imagine it."Hey, you okay?" Antoine asked, wrapping his arms around me from behind. "Don't overthink it, alright."
"Come on." Antoine murmured, wrapping an arm around my shoulder. "Don't let an asshole like that get to you."With the words, another time popped into my head, probably the night my world changed entirely. A different Haidan existed then, one that was oblivious to what real love was. One that had yet to truly understand herself.Chuckling, I couldn't stop feeling how much had changed since that day. Even now, things weren't settled, and after tomorrow, maybe everything would be different.Turning towards Antoine, I gave a small smile. After all, I needed him to know that I truly wasn't as upset as he thought I was."Thank you.
