The Unwanted Twin Novels & Stories

“I was leaving—” “You thought that I would let my mate leave me? Alone? At the mercy of the world? Unprotected? I’d rather die!” Alyssa put her hands above her head over the pillow as new frustration rose in her chest. “Don’t you understand Tova? I am… unwanted.” The word ‘unwanted’ boomed in the room. “My mother doesn’t want me, maybe because my father was killed and she still sees him in me. You don’t want me because I am a witch. Your parents are going to freak out if they find out that your mate is a witch.” Her throat choked with emotions.

His eyes are pinned on our interlocked hands, to our wedding rings that shimmer in the dim light. “Killian, I-“ “Have I ever told you that there hasn’t been a pair of twins born in our pack for over a century?” The questions came kind of suddenly and I feel a little confused. My brows narrow, but he smiles. “There’s a story circling around, a bit of a myth by now that twins are bad omens.” The smile turns bitter and I feel my heart a little heavy. “They speak of death and tragedy. To the point that for decades, when a couple was expecting twins, they’d usually abort and try again…” the smile fades and his eyes narrow in a deep frown.

I feel so detached, like this is all some elaborate joke and I am not getting the punchline. “Non-identical twins are basically two pregnancies in one womb. You can lose one and the other lives. If they were identical like Gino and Alexi then you would have lost both, as they share a sac. Arrick was non-identical too, Sylvana carried it to around two months. Some babies are not strong enough and nature intervenes.” My mom pats my abdomen gently, a look of sadness on her face for her closest friend and gives one last push around before stopping to show me.

Once again Cassandra became confused. "Of course, I can still tell you apart. But now you both are grown up. You should stop these childish games now" she chided softly, exactly like their mother would do. Logan and Leo gritted their teeth with anger. They killed their mother and became the reason for their imprisonment. Twins are determined to punish these intruders. The twins laughed as if they think it was a joke. "Mom, it's just for fun," they said in union, confusing her further.

Ash jerks up. “Complications?” “The one complication is something that your twins are going through. It’s called twin to twin transfusion, or TTTS. I caught it on the ultrasound based off the size of the twins. One is significantly smaller than the other, to a point of not being viable. If this was a human pregnancy you’d have some time to think about what to do, but because it’s not I need a decision today based off of what I am about to tell you next.”

And they were twins, so it wasn’t like I could just leave because the child she had wasn’t my own. A nasty little part of me that said that it might be easy just to get rid of the one twin and put it up for adoption or some such. But then I thought about the Huntsman and how his circumstances of having been abandoned and being the son of a demon had turned him into something as bad as his demon father. Even though he was attempting to get rid of any creature that reminded him of his father, he went fully wicked. Did I want to start that cycle again by abandoning this little pup?

"Stop being stubborn and come back with me. Victoria said tomorrow is an auspicious day—we should register our marriage then." I looked at him calmly. "I'm not going back with you. Giving up my career for love once was already a foolish mistake. I won't make the same one again. "We've broken up. There's nothing to discuss." Hugo clenched his jaw, his voice tight with anger. "I never agreed to that!" I simply replied, "Keep your voice down. Don't shout—it's embarrassing."

Twin. The room tilted. My legs threatened to give out. I gripped the desk, my voice barely a whisper. “This… this can’t be right.” Noah’s brows knit as he scanned the page, his lips pressing into a hard line. “They altered it. Look—here, the hospital records were copied over, redacted in places. But this…” He tapped the original beneath, marked with my mother’s handwriting in the margins. “This is what she was protecting.” Twin pregnancy, one child was delivered, and one unaccounted for.

Natalia was startled. Her hand was close to her belly. She slowly placed her palm on her belly while staring at Adrian. "Why don't we need another? That will be our child, Adrian." Adrian frowned at her and asked, “Do you want to have another one? Natalia, we now have an heir and an heiress. I don't want another child. You and the twins are enough for me." Natalia felt her heart trembling from within. Before even getting to know about the news of the unborn child, he was telling her that it would be an unwanted child.

A few months later, Mathias and the Dentworths came up with a plan after realizing that they had completely lost track of us. They began spreading false news on the Internet. Trending topics such as "#Devil-in-law abuses daughter-in-law", "#What should I do if my mother-in-law sells the apartment I bought using my savings", and "#My in-laws escaped with all of our money, and now my family can't survive because of them" began appearing on Twitter.
