Save Me

CHAPTER 22: DATE

Twen's POV

I stood in the bathroom, looking at myself in the mirror, analyzing my face. I tried to remember Zero's face, but I didn't get a clear look at it. Her hair covered the top half of her face, so I couldn't see her eyes.

"You have the same hair color...different lips, but the same nose tip."

"...."

"How do you feel?"

"I...feel confused, but I don't feel anything else. Is that bad to say?"

"No. You can't help that you have no emotional attachment to her. If anything, it's normal."

"Could you tell me what happened?"

"...."

"We were born in the bad place. Your mother was kidnapped while she was pregnant with us."

"So...the pack Jamie talked about, the one Micheal was banished from...."

"Yes, it was our pack. Your mother was the Luna, and your father was the Alpha. I never figured out what happened. Your mother never talked about it."

"What did she say?"

"She told us many stories. I felt like she was speaking to me when she did. I think she knew that one day I could tell them to you."

"She would talk about the outside world, the various packs, our people, and your father."

"Is...he alive?"

"He is, but...I don't know where he could be. After we were kidnapped, your mother was sure your dad would move the pack just in case Micheal decided to return."

"What did she say he's like?"

"Well, physically, he's very tall and muscular, but not to the point that it's gross. He has silver hair and black eyes, and she would say he was too handsome for his own good."

I smile. "What of his wolf?" I leave the restroom, sit on the bed, and lean against the pillows.

"His wolf is huge; he, of course, has white fur. She said his eyes are silver, almost white...just like yours. Personality-wise, he's stubborn but very caring and a great leader."

"Do you think one day I'll be able to meet him?"

"With Liam's help, I think it would be possible."

"...."

"Silvermore, I...understand what a mate is because of you and the books I've read. I understand the young Alpha is my mate; I feel it when he's near. I feel an intense desire to be with him, and I can also feel your desire for his wolf, but... I'm just not ready yet. Having to do the mate bond...."

"...I know. You don't have to worry."

I breathed out. "Thank you."

"Twen?" The young Alpha knocks on the door. I sit up on the bed so I'm sitting upright with my legs crossed. "Yes?" The young Alpha opens the door and walks in with a food tray.

"Who are you talking to?"

"N-No one, just talking to myself."

The young Alpha smiles. "Well, I brought you food." He places the food in front of me. "I wanted to apologize to you; with everything going on, I didn't bring you breakfast this morning. It's lunchtime now, and this is your first meal."
