Artemis Mallory had lived fourteen of her eighteen years in the dark as to why her mother left her with her adoptive family and pack. She ha...

Shit.
What did I do?
I was still in the hallway leaning against the wall next to my door. I was still busy regaining my breath from when Artemis elbowed me. She was surprisingly strong for someone with such a small stature.
I felt ashamed of myself.
I know I fucked up. I shouldn't have done what I did. Touching her like that, growling at her like that. It was something I had promised myself not to do. I couldn't help myself, there was a deep primal need that made me desperate to claim her. To make her mine in every way possible. To get that other male's smell off her.
I was an idiot.
"Woah, what happened to you?" I looked up to see Apollo leaning against his door frame with an eyebrow raised, his dirty blonde hair all messy from sleep.
"Your sister knows how to knock a guy's breath away." I grumbled, standing up straight and going back into my room. Only to be blocked by Apollo who quickly moved from his door to in front of mine.
"What the fuck were you doing with my sister?" I winced internally as he scowled at me. How do I tell one of my best friends that his twin is my mate?
Just say it you wuss.
He may kill me.
After what you did earlier, wouldn't you want him to kill you.
Touche.
I battled internally with myself as I considered what to say to the blonde-ish male in front of me.
"She's my mate," I blurted out. Nice job, very delicately done.
"I'm sure I misheard you," Apollo said calmly, but his eyes reflected anything but calm. "My identical twin sister, who I just got reunited with after fourteen years, is your mate?"
"Yep," I said as casually as possible. What a big strong Alpha you are, you're afraid of your Zeta. My Zeta can be terrifying when he wants to be, and apparently so can his twin.
"I would throttle you but I think my sister already did that for herself." I chuckled as I rolled my eyes.
"Yes she did," I pushed past Apollo and went inside to get a shirt. I needed to meet up with the Alpha and our Zetas to discuss rogue numbers.
"What are you going to do?" He asked sharply from the doorway. I sent him a warning glare at his tone. He is my friend and he can be angry with the situation all he likes but I am also his Alpha.
"I don't know, she's with Aiden." Apollo snorts as I walk past him out of the room.
"Yeh sure, as if she actually likes that dick." He fell into step beside me as we walked towards Alpha Clark's office. We passed numerous pack members who gave us a wide berth. It was very early for people to be up and about, but I guess it was the Alpha ceremony today so many people were up and about performing their various duties, getting ready for the big day.
