Forgetting The Painful Effort

Chapter 18

Lewis' POV

When I walk inside of the Alpha's house, I can hear that some of the family is in the back yard, so I decide to see if Darrick is there too.

I walk into the living room, and I intend to go straight towards the door that leads to the back yard.

But I stop when I see that Quincy, or more like Chance, is sitting on the couch with an annoyed expression.

"Why are you like this?" I ask him, and he rolls his eyes, but he doesn't respond.

I roll my eyes, and I decide to leave him alone for now.

I look out of the window, and I notice that Darrick is playing with some of his siblings, so I guess that I should go bother them instead.

"What are you doing?" I ask them, and it takes only about five seconds for the ball to hit my leg.

"Playing soccer." One of the older twins says.

I don't think that anyone other than his family knows which one he is, but that's because he looks exactly the same as his other twin.

It's a lot easier to recognise the younger twins, because one of them is a bit taller than the other.

"I'm Zaine." The boy tells me, as if he can see that I'm not sure what his name is.

I send him an apologetic smile, but he just rolls his eyes playfully, so I guess that he's already used to people mistaking him for his brother.

"There's one good thing that comes with the fact that no one can recognise if I'm Zaine or Raine." He tells me.

It seems to catch everyone's attention, even more then the ball which keeps going from one person to the other.

"Yes?" Darrick asks curiously, and Zaine nods with a smirk.

"If I ever did something that I'm ashamed of, then I can easily say that it was Raine.

And if I ever get in trouble or something, then I can also say that it was my twin." He explains, and I chuckle.

"It means that Raine can make you get in trouble too." I tell him, and he shrugs.

"That's true, but Raine is too stupid to come up with a good plan or a believable lie, so I guess that I have nothing to be worried about." He says quietly.

I chuckle slightly, same as the rest of the guys, while Zaine looks at his father to make sure that he didn't hear anything.

It seems that Tareek is still busy with Roar, who is now crying in his arms, while he's glaring at the milk bottle.

So, I guess that he wouldn't be able to hear what Zaine said, even if the small boy said that much louder.

When I'm about to turn around to continue to play with the siblings, I can see that Chance is now glaring at something that's near me.

He quickly goes away when he sees that I saw him, so I turn around to see what he was glaring at.

The only person who stands near me is Darrick, so I'm pretty sure that Chance was glaring at him.

"What did you do to Quincy?" I ask Darrick, and he frowns.

"Why do you think that I did something to him?" Darrick asks me curiously.
