The Alpha's Twins

Incoming

"About what, darling?" Her voice is slow and too calm for comfort, she's up to something.
"Why didn't you tell me Apollo was back?"
"Because I didn't want to ruin your mood." She smiles.

"You weren't doing me any favors by not telling me. He's at Valentina's ballet studio. Danaya sensed him and thought it was me." I fold my arms, trying to figure out why this is happening. Just a week ago, I was celebrating my father telling me the throne is my mine for the taking. And now I'm dealing with my mate, my siblings, and to top it all off my psychopathic mother knows it all and doesn't tell me until I know myself. It's funny how your life can change so quickly.

"I know I wasn't doing you anymore favors, but I want my son to grow up without him relying on his mother all the time to tell him everything. I won't be on this Earth forever." She smiles weakly and turns away towards the wall that I can't see.
"Do you love her?" She asks without turning back to look at me, still staring at the wall.

"I just met her, mom. How could I love her?"

"Wolves don't have to know each other long to fall in love. Ever heard of love at first sight."
"I don't believe in in things like that. It's-"

"So what are you doing, Alec. Don't fool this girl. She's already falling for you and to believe you might have a heart in you." My mother's face becomes angrier as seconds tick by, I've never seen her like this. Her sudden change in mood forces me to think. What am I doing, I have to respect the Moon Goddess. However, what if I wasn't meant to have a mate,

"Valentina deserves more. She doesn't need to live this life. Father already threatened to kill her if he found that she's weak." I want to sound confident in every word, but each time I spoke the more I sound weaker and sadder. All my life I've felt nothing but cold which gave me a feeling of power and pride, but she makes me want to change.

I took pleasure in having sex with multiple girls, I've never been committed to just one girl until Dessy.

"Get out of my sight, Alec. Don't come back till you've considered what the hell you're doing to this girl. And tell your father about Apollo, immediately." My mother orders and I go back up the stairs, into the hallway, and into my father's office. Sometimes I think about what would happen if my mother wasn't a witch, she and my father would probably work hand in hand. They are true mates whether my father would like to admit it or not. They belong together, and he locks her in a prison and claims it's because she's a witch, but I believe it's because she brings out his weaknesses as an Alpha. Like father like son.

"Father, Apollo. Oh." When I look up I find my Father speaking on the phone. He growls at me and continues to talk to the person on the other end with a cheerful voice, he treats others better than his own family. I sit back down attempting to contemplate why I'm really here. I didn't have to listen to my mother, but my Wolf becomes uneasy when I don't. I cross my feet and tap the carpet as loud as I possibly can. He's still on the phone. I get up, and pick up his phone.

"Hello," I know I'm supposed to be polite but I don't have the patience,"Hello, brother. How are you? I've met your mate, she's quite the charmer. I'm enjoying the view."I hand my father the phone and sit back down. Apollo's voice resembles a cat. I want to grab him through the phone and beat the shit out of him. Way to think my father treats others better than his family.
You claim you have no feelings for her. And yet your anger can probably be felt by the Moon Goddess.
My sister uses our sibling mind link to contact me.
Shut up. Apollo is around her. You know what he does to girls.
Oh yeah I know. Reminds me of a certain somebody.
I can imagine my sister with her smirk that she makes when she's right.
Whatever. Just keep her away from him.
Too late. He's already flirting. She just finished ballet, and now he's taking advantage that you hurt her.
Fuck. Dad and I are coming.
Whatever. Don't be afraid to admit that you care for her more than you say.
I don't hear from her after that. It doesn't matter what anyone tells me, I don't want Valentina. Dad finally finishes his phone call and clamps his arm together. He doesn't look happy to see me still here.

"What is it that seems to have you grabbing phones out of my hand?" He shuffles papers and clears his throat dramatically.
"Apollo is back, but you know this already." I mumble, picking at my nails.

"Yes. We must get to your mate soon before she is wooed by your charming brother. Tonight?" He asks, writing on one of his papers without looking at me.

"Yeah, sure. It's not like I have anything better to do." I tell him and leave the office before he can say anything else. I honestly don't want to see Valentina pining over my twin brother, but I have a feeling growing inside me that this'll be Dessy all over again. I walk up to my room and head into the shower. The night creeping up upon the dark castle enveloped me into a pool of unwanted unease. My feet still stings from Valentina's death dance.

My father always told me that finding my mate is like pregnancy. Just like morning sickness, feeling their pain constantly goes away and turns into the pain being felt when they're in danger. I duck into the pelts of boiling water, it relaxes me but the uneasiness is still settled in my stomach and slowly creeping towards my chest. After a while, I thought my mate was gone and died before I had a chance of meeting her.

Part of me wishes that I never met Valentina. That I just stay a bachelor and screw girls when I please, but the other part wants all of her. Is this what it truly feels like. The thing some of my soft friends gush about. This thing they speak of is bullshit, all of it. The stress. The drama. And all we did was talk and screw after. I had no idea it'd be all of this. My Wolf yearns for her, I need an heir but I don't want my child to come from Valentina.

Apollo's face from 30 years ago comes to mind and I cringe. My dark hair is usually flipped, so was his up until 30 years ago when he chopped part of it off. We are exactly alike and I didn't care until Dessy. She ruined my heart, and the only relationship I've ever honored during my entire life for centuries.
