LW2: Twin Mates

Chapter Four - perfect

ETHAN RICHMAN

"Carter, you both are my mates. I want to get to know both of you. I did nothing to make him act that way toward me." Rudy tells Carter as they stand together in the kitchen.

I grit my teeth. I hate that. I hate this. I hate that we have the same mate. I hate that it has to be with someone like her.

Someone perfect for Carter...

He's sweet, gentle, loving, and knows how to understand his feelings.

I hate that I have to share everything with him.

Everything.

Even my face isn't my own.

And now we share a fucking mate too. I think what bothers me the most about it is that I know she'll like him better.

They're perfect for each other.

"I know. I'm sorry." Carter tells Rudy, before pulling her into a hug. She wraps her arms tightly around him.

"I don't know how to help you." he whispers.

My wolf, Rune, tries to come through at the sight.

"My mate." Rune whines when I deny him.

Then she pulls away only to lean in and kiss him.

I go to walk away. I can't watch this. I can't watch them.

But then her eyes meet mine while she kisses him.

She gives me the same look I had given her earlier.

I quickly slip back out the door I had been standing in.

She had done that on purpose. She had known I was standing there.

RUDY GRACE SILVER

I walk back into the room I've been sleeping in to grab my clothes.

I need to go back home soon.

It baffles me that I haven't heard from anyone.

I scream when I find Ethan sitting on my bed.

He simply stares at me.

"What are you doing in here?!" I ask, surprised.

He smiles at me, but it isn't a happy smile.

"Not as welcoming for me as you are my brother, are you?" he asks.

"What is that supposed to mean?" I ask, frustrated.

"You know what it means, princess..." he says, standing. He walks over to me and lifts my chin with his thumb before putting a loose piece of hair behind my ear with his finger.

I don't back away like I have before, and he smirks at me.

"You're playing with fire Princess, don't be surprised when you get burned." he says, then holds eye contact with me.

His eyes go down to my mouth and my heart picks up its pace.

Is he going to kiss me...?

His eyes go back up to my own and he smiles slightly.

Then he walks out of the room.

I smile to myself.

I get under his skin more than he lets on.

I didn't miss the dark shift in his eyes telling me his wolf had come through.

I sigh, grabbing my bag and walking towards my door.
