Mated to the Alpha Twins

Kade

It wasn’t our intention to find Aurora in the forest, but once we caught her scent it was nearing impossible to stop.

Alec and I locked eyes, our wolves inhaling the creamy scent of their mate. She was sitting by herself, her back against a large tree. The sunlight peered through the trees hitting her in the perfect spot. Her chocolate hair was glowing under the sunlight, looking like freshly spun silk. The sun brightened her unique eyes, making them radiate with color.

“Are you going to eat me or not?” She huffed, her face impassive as she looked at my brother and I.

There was no fear in her eyes; just the acceptance that her life could possibly end today. That fact send a sharp ringing pain throughout my body, sending the memory of the night we ran into her rushing to the front of my mind.

She was stumbling down the sidewalk; Alec and I noticed her before she saw us. She looked out of her mind with fear, the kind of fear that makes people do dangerous things. Her face was swollen; Our mate was hurt.

Something had changed about Aurora in that short time. She smelled different; stronger than normal. Her scent was swirling around us, amplified by some unseen force.

It was clear something happened inside the house, something Aurora couldn’t b**e to talk about. She stumbled away from us, begging us to leave her alone.

“What the f**k happened to her?” Alec snarled through the mind-link. His eyes were wracking up and down her body, trying to assess the damage done to her.

“Someone hurt her.” I growled lowly, “And they will d*e for what they’ve done.”

From what we could tell, only her face had been harmed. I let my gaze travel lower, noticing her jeans were unbuttoned and the zipper was down.

I could feel my body tremble, fighting against the urge to shift. Alec followed my line of sight and began his own battle. Fighting the urge to shed our skin and hunt down the person who harmed our mate.

Aurora’s fear helped us maintain control. She needed us right now; whether she knew it or not.

“Aurora-” Alec was the first to speak, and I watched pain wrack my brother as Aurora stumbled away from him.

“Leave- Leave me alone.” She hissed, much like a frightened kitten. “P-Please just leave me alone.”

Aurora took off running, bounding into the woods. Her speed was impressive considering her booted foot and swollen eye, just another thing that didn’t quite add up.

“Follow her.” I turned to Alec, “Remain hidden, don’t approach her. Just make sure she gets home safely.”

Determination mixed with the pain in Alec’s eyes, and he bounded into the woods after our terrified mate. Every cell in my body wanted to follow, to be the one that made sure Aurora made it home safely but I couldn’t.

I needed to figure out what happened, figure out who hurt Aurora. Her terror filled face would haunt my dreams from now on, that I was sure of. Unique eyes that should’ve been filled with love and light were filled with terror and pain.

I spent over an hour walking around the house, trying to get a grasp of what happened to our mate. Only one person was able to give me anything helpful. A girl with girly hair and dark espresso skin informed me Aurora came to the party with a friend of hers, Autumn.

She purred, in a way I’m sure she thought was very seductive. At one point, I might’ve been fooled. Grace had always been an easy f**k, nothing more. I made no false promises to Grace, and never told her anything more than the truth. Love was not a factor in our relationship, and neither were emotions. “I’m sure there’s an empty room around
