Mated to the Alpha Twins

I clocked out of work after making quite a bit of money from tips alone. It would definitely help replenish some of the money I had spent on clothes and necessities.

While I was happy to be free from work, going home was another situation entirely.

When Tori dropped me off, Melissa was still at work for another hour. That left me alone with Frank.

I knew he was completely s**t-faced the second I walked through the front door.

He sat in the recliner watching some fuzzy football match on the TV. His face contorted in anger and I sighed.

“Where the f**k have you been?” He spat, struggling to lift himself off the recliner.

I tried not to roll my eyes, knowing it only pissed him off more.

“Working, Frank.” I repeated myself for the hundredth time.

I turned to walk up the stairs and escape his drunken tirade when something he said had me turning back around.

“Working?” He scoffed, wobbling as he stood from the recliner. “You were out whoring around like your f*****g mother.”

This time I did roll my eyes. If he wasn’t drunk all of the time he’d remember that Melissa made me pay for everything myself. I didn’t have time to ‘w***e around’ when I was busy supporting myself and going to high school.

“Melissa isn’t my mother.” I snapped, turning to walk up the stairs.

His hand wrapped around my wrist and yanked me backwards.

While I didn’t fall, I did stumble back a few steps.

“Get off of me, Frank.” I mumbled, my body tensing in fear.
