The Alpha's Twins

One for Another

I look down at sleeping Alec, his head on my lap. I'm amazed at how far we've come in such a short amount of time and I knew it wouldn't last. Being together felt more like a dream than it did real and like dreams, at some point they fade from memory. I look around the room and take in the details of his room. The walls are the color of blood, the floors are black with gothic furniture decorated along the large room. Alec's arms are wrapped tightly around my waist, his eyes closed tightly and his mouth slight open with quiet snores being the only thing I can hear.

"Don't ruin it, Valentina. Please don't do it." I look at his lips, so glossy and pink. I lean in and place a soft kiss on his lips and when I raise to get up, a hand forces me back down and Alec kisses me back harder. God, if this what heaven feels like I'd be happy to die. Suddenly the door opens, and when I try to get up Alec's arm stays firm.

The person at the door clears their throat and I pull away enough for him to let go to find a woman with a blue gown and curls draping down her neck. Alec raises up and runs a hand through his hair awkwardly.

"Hi, Haley. What do you need?" Alec coughs again and I rub his back with my palm. A small part of me believes that we can be the mates we're meant to be, and that Alec can change his mind.

"You said you'd come by after your.. situation. But I see that you've found a new toy to play with." Haley smirks and I growl.

"Toy? I am many things but not a toy." I get up and look down at Haley.

"You know what it's okay, I was just going." I choke and head for the door and close it behind me. He liked the privacy right? What an idiot I am. I really though that Alec and I could put our differences behind us and actually be what the Moon Goddess planned but again I'm wrong. The worst part is he doesn't come after me, I don't hear the door open or his footsteps behind me, just the quiet ticks of the large town clock in front of me.

"Bad day?" A figure appears from the dark, a shorter but longer haired version of Alec,"Apollo, nice to see you,"
"I wish I could say the same." He smirks and I give him a small smile. The smile quickly becomes a frown and I burst into tears. Apollo stands there trying to figure out what to do with me. I understood his situation, he doesn't know how to comfort his twin's mate and to make it worse I walk into his arms for a hug. After a couple of moments of awkward silence, I'm still buried in his arms.

"It's okay?" He's not sure of what he's saying and I'm not sure what I'm still doing hugging him but it did feel good.

"Are you going to stay hugging me?" I nod to his question, the real reason why is because I didn't want him to see my tear stained face. I have way too much pride for that. I climb on his feet and we start walking and I didn't plan on moving my face to see where.

"I'm sorry that you had to see that." I whisper, my face still nestled in his chest.

"It's okay. It's not everyday I'll see you cry." He chuckles. It took me a minute to realize what he meant and I punch him.
"Thanks a lot."

"Well you do cry a lot. And look I got you to stop making my shirts wet." He wipes my cheeks off and I step off his feet, my arm still wrapped around his waist. We stop at an enormous window that has glass that shines and twinkles.
"What is this?" I climb on the pane and rest my hands on the outer glass admiring the forest in the dark. I'm  definitely not going to be able to go home tonight. The Frays wouldn't let me.

"Can I possibly go home tonight?" I ask Apollo to test my theory.

"Uhh.. Let me think about- No." I roll my eyes at his sly remark and look back outside to admire the world I never really appreciated except for my spot.

"What're you doing here at my window?" A voice barks farther down the hall and I know it all too well.
"It's not your window. It's everyone's and if you get your head out of your ass, Valentina's window too. We're just looking." At phenomenal speed, Alec is at Apollo's neck, slamming him onto the wall. I didn't even catch him move let alone feel his presence while he moves. Before I could react, Haley is trying to pull Alec off Apollo and I grow angry.

"Get your hands o-" I slip off the pane and fall to the ground. A sharp pain travels from my throat to my stomach, so strong I couldn't even scream let alone breathe. How'd I not notice this fucking gap between the pane and the floor? That wasn't even there before.

"Valentina." I can barely hear them call my name. Darkness etches my vision and the last thing that I can see is a black boot heading towards me.
