Mated to the Alpha Twins

I was torn between my miraculously appearing sperm-donor and the twins stationed at the front door. Each looked at me expectantly, waiting for me to make the first move.

“This is too much.” I snapped under my breath, feeling much too exhausted for just waking up.

There was no way I planned on letting the twins inside, or entertaining my sperm donor for any longer. I’d simply retreat back into my bedroom and pretend this entire day never happened. Garrett and the twins would hopefully be long gone.

‘Let them in.’ The voice in my head rang out clear as day. The voice was so close, I looked around the room wondering if someone else had came into the house.

‘I know you can here me.’ The voice called out again, sounding exasperated.

“I’m going crazy.” I mumbled under my breath, turning my back on Garrett and the twins as I bounded up the stairs.

It was all too easy to listen in on their conversation. The house was old and the walls thin. All I had to do was peak my head from my bedroom to hear whispers of what they were saying.

“You left—Can’t take her now.” Melissa’s voice sounded angry, that same whining tone present in her words.

“My firstborn—just like me.” Garrett replied in his annoyingly calm voice.

I flopped down on my bed, pulling the covers tight around me. I squeezed my eyes close and prayed for sleep, prayed for all of this to be a horrible dream. My world had been flipped upside down in a matter of one day.

‘Aurora.’ The voice in my head was soft and teasing, ‘You can talk to me, y’know.’

‘No, I can’t.’ I shook my head, ‘Because that would mean I’m actually crazy.’

‘You’re not crazy.’ The voice in my head chuckled, ‘I could explain but I don’t know if it’s my place to do that or not.’

‘The explanation is that I’m clearly becoming mentally unhinged.’ I snapped back, ‘Only crazy people hear voices in their head.’

‘Well, crazy people and werewolves.’ The voice responded in a calm tone, as if this were simple fact.

‘Yep. I’m going crazy.’ I nodded, ‘Goodbye now.’

Sleep had finally managed to take me. I knew it was well into the evening when I finally woke up. The bright sunlight was much more dim, the sky darkening in deep hues of blue and orange. A light knock sounded on my door, and a strange smell flooded into my nose.

The smell was of stale perfume and something dull and spicy. I couldn’t place my finger on it, and I couldn’t remember ever smelling something like it before.

“Come in.” I grunted, sitting up from the bed with sleep crusted eyes.

Melissa came into my room timidly, and I realized this was the first time she had come into my room in three years. She had never bothered coming to get me for anything. Today was a day of firsts, and hopefully lasts.

“Your Father left awhile ago.” Melissa murmured, “He’s going to be coming back soon.”

“Garrett.” I grimaced, “His name is Garrett. Why is he coming back?”

at my face warily, and I noticed I was looking at her through two clear eyes. Slowly, my hand reached up to my face. I let my fingers graze over my swollen eye, surprised to find no pain. I couldn’t feel the puffy skin that was once there. Everything felt smooth and flat. I reminded myself to look in the mirror
