Twin mates for twin alphas - book one of the twin series boyxboy

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Damon PoV

He agreed to talk with me in private, this could get us some answers. I have explained what's happening to Dante, he is happy Luka is trying. We get to the table and I sit beside Lucas while the others sit across from us. I see him tense slightly when I sit down, I understand but it hurts a bit to know he is comfortable with my brother enough to act cheeky but not me so I decide to fix it.

As Luka and Dante begin to talk I scoot closer to him, "are you ok little one? Don't be afraid of me, I'm here to protect you, never to hurt you, can I hold your hand?" He looks at me from under his lashes as if he's deciding, then holds out his hand to me shaking slightly.

Just as I go to take it two male wolves break into a fight wrestling each other to the ground by our table. I see Luka start to jump up to get to Lucas but before he can I have scooped him up into my lap, he holds onto me tightly, obviously terrified. Seeing how scared he is Dante rises to his feet, puts Luka protectively behind him and bellows "STOP RIGHT NOW!". The wolves stop, automatically following the alpha command.

I head for the room we are staying in with an angry and worried Dante right behind me, I notice he had taken Luka into his embrace. "Shush don't cry I have you little one, they were just two stupid wolves, nothing to be worried about especially not when the three of us will keep you safe" my words seem to calm him and he relaxes in my hold sniffling softly in my neck.

I lay him on the bed still in my arms and quietly whisper to him, Luka lays down on the other side of me and snuggles into us while Dante comes to the other side and does the same.

We all stay like this talking quietly until he finally calms down and falls asleep. He still has a tight grip on me so I tell Luka "I don't want to move him after such a scare so will you wait for a little while for our talk, I'm sorry we can't go now like we planned but-" "it's ok if Dante would like, I will talk to you both while he sleeps, I think after seeing what just happened, how he allowed you to comfort him and how you protected us, it's time to talk" Luka cuts over me.

Through our mind link I can hear how relieved and happy my twin is and I project the same feeling back to him. "I would be very happy to talk, will Lucas be ok? Will he wake and hear anything he shouldn't?" He asks worried about little one. "With that death grip he has, even in his sleep, he will be out for a while and Damon your stuck till he feels ready to let go, trust me I've been there" he laughs. "Does he look like that upsets him" scoffs Dante. And he's right I couldn't deny I'm very happy to have our little mate in my arms.

"No if he smiles any wider his cheeks will split" Luka smiles and reaches over me to take Dante by the hand. "Now who's smiling" I tease when I see how happy the gesture makes him. "Me, me, me," he sings and we all laugh.

"You two really are fun filled but it's time to get serious" Luka tells us we shut up immediately to allow him to talk, we will get to the bottom of this and goddess help whoever we find down there. Whoever hurt our mates this badly will suffer the consequences.

Dantes PoV

We wait and allow him time to begin, there is no point in rushing him. I just want to reach across and take him into my lap like Damon has Lucas but I can see him trying to be strong so I resist.

He starts "we were part of a pack until we were ten, the red-moon pack, our father Dom was the top warrior for alpha Jack. He was respected by all and we had a great bond with the alpha and the pack. While he was at one of the alliance meetings he regularly attended, Lucas and I were playing outside when he fell from the tree we were climbing, I panicked knowing that he was always a bit softer than me but tried to copy anything I did. I still blame myself, if he hadn't of followed me that day things could have been so different" he sighs. I can see he means it.

'He's breaking my heart, I need to comfort him' I tell Damon through the link. 'Don't he might bolt, just hear him out first then you can ok' he replies. I don't answer but he knows I understand.

"The first thing I noticed was blood coming from his arm, so I ran as fast as I could to my father, I knew running to my mother would take too much time. What I didn't know was the meeting was taking a turn for the worse at the same time. The alpha of the closest pack was threatening to start war with our pack unless alpha jack met with some ridiculous demands. He was refusing just as I burst through the door calling for my father to come help Lucas" he tells us.

He takes a breath and continues "the alphas followed us to Lucas and he was sitting under the tree with some friends crying, my father rushed over to him and checked him over. Of course by the time we had gotten back to him he was already healing, I felt like such a fool for interrupting the meeting but in my ten year old brain blood spelt trouble. My father and the alphas returned to the meeting and we went home because Lucas wanted our mother, ever the protective big brother I felt guilty and gave him anything he wanted".

"That night I woke up to a noise, being nosey I ventured to the top of the stairs to hear what was going on. My mother Lisa was sobbing repeating the words "he can't" over and over. What my father said next shocked me to my core "don't worry Lisa the pack will go to war before we allow that sick bastard take our sons as some sort prize", I rushed back to our room and sobbed. Who wanted us? What did they want to do with us? And, why? Was all I could think" he starts to tear up and I've had it. I reach across and pull him into my arms, trying to give him comfort.
