Run, that word plagued my mind. It was a constant echo inside a deep abyss. I wanted to run and never look back, but where would I go? I had Lisa but she had a mate whom she adored. My mate could never know the source of my sorrow, he would not understand. To the werewolf community twins were sacred, because they were scarce. I lost my twin, my best friend, my big brother all because I wanted to have my way. It was because of the harsh words that escaped these lips that ripped into him and clung to his very soul. I could never go back to how it was all I have now is all I am.
I haven't had a night terror in a couple months, I was slowly getting better, but tonight was different. Tonight my terror intensified, as if it weren't my own. Werewolf twins always have a bond that cannot be explained, I haven't felt that bond since he was taken, but tonight it was like a radio station that has been full of static has now become clearer than a bell. I was scared, terrified, I wanted to scream but the words were stuck in my throat. All I could was cry as a knife was dragged across my skin, one that was silver and dipped in wolfsbane. When would this agony end?
In my nightmare, all i could see was one dingy, fluorescent light that obscured my vision. The smell of month old urine and feces assaulted my nose to the point it made my stomach churn. Then it happened, a jack hammer was struck down on my bare arm that was outstretched to my side. I could feel it building up, like a fire waiting to be released, until an ear piercing scream erupted from my throat.

I woke to Xavier shaking me awake, his eyes full of worry as his eyes scanned the room. At the moment I was terrified, I didn't give a second thought as I clung to his chest trying calm my erratic breathing. Tears falling from my face, i was a mess.
"What's wrong?" he asked, crushing me against his chest and breathing in my scent.
" He's alive." I whimpered.
The room was quiet as those words left my mouth. I looked up at my mate to see his eyes glazed over and his teeth clenched. I hesitated before reaching my up and cupping his cheek, turning his head towards me and giving him a small smile. He nuzzled into into my hand before letting out a breath, just then Lisa rushed in, took one look at us with raised eyebrows.
"Am I interrupting?" she asked.
I shook my head at the same time Xavier replied,"Yes."
I pinched his cheek,"Ow, what was that for?"
Grinning I climbed out his lap and walked towards Lisa, I monkey climbed on her clinging before bringing my mouth to her ear," He's alive."
I felt her tense before replying in a shaky voice," Are you sure."
I nodded before I felt strong arms lift me up and carry me back to the bed.
"It's been a long night, go back to bed my sweet."
I scoffed before sitting up, crossing my arms, and glaring at him. He raised his eyebrow at me? I sighed, climbed over to grab the remote off the nightstand. I wasn't gonna fall asleep anytime soon and i needed comfort from my mate. So i climbed in between his legs leaning my back against his chest. He let out a shaky breath but placed his hands around my stomach. That's how we spent the night, watching cliche romance movies while he held me close.
††††††
I woke up to find the other half of the bed empty, a note on the pillow.
Good morning beautiful,
I have some work to do and i didnt want to wake you up.I know this hard on you and you will tell me when you want to. So, how about a date? I will be done with work at one, so dress casual but warm. I mean it.
Your loving mate,
Xavier xoxo
I read the note over a couple of times before jumping off the bed and running to Lisa's room.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
I showed her the note and her eyes widened.
" Let me guess, you don't know what to wear?"
I nodded.
She grinned,"no complaints." she held out her pinkie.
I hesitated before wrapping my pinkie around hers and nodding.
" Well then we have three hours to get you ready for your first date. Onward my friend, let the operation commence!"
I was already regretting this decision, goddess help me.
††††††
Breathe I kept telling myself. My nerves had other ideas and were currently clawing to get loose. Before I could chicken out, Lisa pushed me out the room causing me to bump into a very familiar chest. I looked up and felt my cheeks becoming really hot, the familiar sparks echoing through my body. Xavier chuckled, and pulled me closer to his body as I tried to escape.
"Someone's a little eager now huh." He whispered into my ear.
I hid my face in his chest, nope, no way in hell, why does this have to happen to me?
"As much as I love this, shall we go m'lady?" Xavier said.
Taking a deep breath I removed my head from his chest and nodded.
"I want her back before midnight young man!" Lisa shouted as we walked away.
"I'm the king I make my own rules," He yelled back before taking my hand and whispering,"Run!"
I looked behind me to see Lisa hot on our trail, Xavier picked my up carrying me bridal style before using his full speed. I raised my eyebrows at him.
"What,Lisas scary okay." He said setting me down onto the ground.
In a soft whisper I said," She's half your size."
He shook his head," We found each other a month ago, you two have been here that long, and I've seen her make the head warrior go on his knees begging for forgiveness."
I laughed," Sounds like Lisa."
"Now m'lady, I'm gonna blind you, don't worry I won't let you fall."
I nodded, feeling the blindfold being put over eyes.
††††††
I guess stumbling through the woods, blindly, is a great start to a date. We walked for what seemed like forever but was probably a few minutes. Xavier held my hand, gripping it not roughly or anything but hard enough so he could catch me if a fell. We came to a stop and I felt him come behind me, his scent sent shivers down my spine.
"We're here." He whispered into my ear.
I felt him untie the blindfold, it took a few seconds for my eyes to adjust to the scene before me.
"This is beautiful." I whispered.
He wrapped his arms around my waist, resting his head on my shoulder,"Glad you think so," he moved his lips to my ear,"So shall we begin."
I nodded.

Werewolf" Do you know why she won't talk to me?" He asked my wolf. The little traitor nodded my head. " Why won't she tell me? She trust me right?" His voice was sad. Before I could understand what was happening, I felt my body shift from wolf to human. Tha...
