Mated to the Alpha Twins

I felt hands wrap around the tops of my arms, and a strangled scream left my throat.

Fear was a powerful thing. I had never experienced it in it’s fullest. Fear cripples the mind and clouds the senses. Fear brings out our most animalistic tendencies, forcing everything that makes us human from our minds in an attempt to escape, to survive.

I didn’t look into the eyes of the person that grabbed me, nor did I want to. A strangled scream tore through my throat as my hands lifted to defend myself. The strength I once had was waning, but I used what was left to its fullest. I kicked, punched, and clawed the person touching me.

I only bothered to look up when the person’s hands left my body and my bottom hit the sidewalk.

Kade and Alec looked absolutely f*****g horrified. Like I was a caged animal who had escaped and was now on a murderous rampage.

I watched the emotion’s shift in their eyes when they took in the state of my face. I had no idea how bad the damage was, but judging from their clear emotions, I was in pretty bad shape.

I peered at them from my one eye, the other was too swollen and sore to bother moving.

H****r, fury, disbelief, agony.

Each emotion played across their face like a movie. For a moment, just a small moment I felt safe. For just a second I contemplated throwing myself into their arms, sobbing my heart out about what happened tonight. I was so close, but Grace’s words ran through my head.

The fear that had left me at the sight of the twins had roared back to life. The fear was a smoldering ember buried within me, looking for anything to rekindle the flame.

Kade was the first to move, leaning forward to help me from the ground.

“G- Get away from me!” My voice was hoarse, stammering and sounded nothing like my usual self.

I scrambled backwards, stumbling to my feet in what I’m sure looked like a horrendous and slightly drunken effort.

“Aurora-” Alec opened his mouth, his eyes practically glowing in pain as he struggled to find the words to say.

“Leave- Leave me alone.” I hissed, “P-Please just leave me alone.”

I could. I darted through the grass inbetween houses, barreling into the woods. Alec and Kade wouldn’t follow me this way, and I was sure I could still find
