LW2: Twin Mates

Chapter Three - mine

RUDY GRACE SILVER
I walk into the house with my heart racing. I try to calm it; I'm well aware that the others can hear it and I don't want them to be suspicious.
Not that I think they would be, but who knows.
You would like that wouldn't you... me on my knees bowing before you...
Ethan's words replay in my head over and over again, making me hot and uncomfortable in my skin.
And the scent of Carter... as he watched us.
The thought alone makes my breathing pick up.
I release a shuttering breath.
I need a cold shower.
—————————-
I pull my clothes on quickly and run a brush through my hair.
The sound of a laughing female fills my ears, then the scent of her enters my nose.
But no, that's not what makes me pause.
It's the scent of my mate with her.
The scent of Ethan and another she-wolf whom I do not know.
I speed walk to the bathroom door and open it.
I watch as Ethan kisses a red haired girl and walks into his room.
His eyes find mine but his lips don't leave her.
My wolf comes through instantly. A growl forms in my throat as I watch another woman touch my mate.
They go into his room and close the door.
"Shift! Kill her! Kill her!" Ellie growls in my head.
"No ." I tell her and turn around to go downstairs so we can shift outside.
But Carter is standing there staring between me and the door Ethan and his whore went into.
My gold eyes meet his and I storm past him down the stairs and out the back door.
I need to shift.
"Rudy! Wait!" Carter shouts, chasing after me.
"No!" I shout back.
I need to get to the woods.
"Rudy! Please... just..." he starts.
I stop and he runs right into me, knocking us both onto the ground.
He falls on top of me but supports his weight beside my head with his hands.
His breathing picks up and his wolf comes forward.
After a moment I can't help but ask, "are you going to stay on top of me or..."
His eyes go back to his hazel and his cheeks turn a light shade of pink.
He stands quickly then reaches out his hand to help me up, I take it and stand, laughing.
"Sorry... I didn't think you were going to stop so soon." Carter mumbles, shifting on his feet.
"It's alright." I tell him.
But then my mind goes back to his brother. The sight of him and another she-wolf makes my blood boil.
Another growl forms in my throat
"Hey, hey." Carter soothes, taking another step closer than before.
I can't help but ask, "who was that woman?"
He sighs, "Rachel. She's an ordinary pack member." He tells me, frowning.
I want to ask him why he is with her. Why he's letting her touch him when he knows I'm his mate.
I'm surprised by the question that does come out, "How do you know her?" I couldn't help the jealousy that coursed through me.
Carter and Ethan were my mates. Ethan didn't seem to comprehend what that meant and I'll be damned if Carter doesn't know that he's mine and mine alone.
His cheeks turn pink again but he says, "She's our age, we went to school together. Ethan used to um..." he trails off.
I don't need him to elaborate. I know what that means.
"You never touched her?" I ask.
He shakes his head at me.
"Good. Keep it that way." I say, taking his hand and leading him out deeper into the woods.
He only grins at me before following beside me.
———————————-
Carter's wolf's name is Juno. He's a big wolf with a mix of black and white coloring.
He's also very playful; Ellie likes that.
She never had many wolf friends growing up. It didn't bother me but it made her feel unworthy.
People, especially other she-wolfs, didn't like me because of who I was, and some who did only tried to be my friend to get closer to my family and title.
I also stopped dating when guys only wanted my ranking.
This was different though.
It felt like Carter actually liked me and Ellie for who we were.
I liked Carter too.
I wished Ethan was like him. I wish Ethan liked me.
—————————————
"That was really fun. I think our wolves really enjoyed spending time together." Carter says as we walk back toward his house in our human forms.
"You saying you didn't enjoy spending time with me?" I ask, teasing him.
The pretty shade of pink forms on his face and I smile. I'm growing to like that expression.
"No I did, I just meant I-" he gets cut off by Ethan walking out toward us.
"Where have you been?" Ethan asks me, taking me in from head to toe.
I take a step back from Ethan. "You're kidding right?" I ask laughing, although I find nothing funny.
"No. I'm not. It's been hours Rudy." He states, angry.
"Yeah, well, you seemed pretty occupied. Carter and I were spending time together." I tell him, grabbing carters hand and pulling him towards the house, away from Ethan.
"Don't you walk away from me." Ethan says through gritted teeth.
"Or what? You going to fuck that whore again?" I ask angrily.
This time Ethan doesn't say anything he just stands there with an expressionless face and stares at me.
"Thought so." I murmur, pulling Carter into the house.
"What was that about?" Carter asks.
"You tell me." I say.
"I don't know. He's been acting weird." He simply says.
"Carter you both are my mates. I want to get to know both of you. I did nothing to make him act that way towards me." I tell him.
"I know. I'm sorry." He says, pulling me into his chest and resting his chin on my head.
I wrap my arms around his waist and soak up the feeling of the mate bond.
"I don't know how to help you." He whispers into my hair.
That moment I realized that Carter and Ethan aren't the same person. Carter doesn't have two mates. He only has me. Whether Ethan comes around or not I will be the best mate I can be to Carter.
I pull away, only slightly, so I can put my lips against his in a soft kiss.

And I tell myself it isn't just because Ethan is watching us from the doorway.
