Together Always

Chapter 4

Aliyah's POV

"Get up!" Melanie screams into my ear. Surprisingly, we actually became good friends over the weekend, although I ignored the rest of them. I was ignoring her, too, but she just kept insisting.

She realizes that I'm not getting up anytime soon (usually I skip Monday mornings) so she skips out of the room. I roll over and start to doze off.

"Babe!" As Melanie screams in my ear I fall off the bed since I didn't hear her come in again. "If you aren't going to school, we're going to the beach."

"Who's the we?" I ask cautiously.

"Me, Phoebe, Ava, Chloe, Ella, Aubrey, Natalie, and Charlotte!" The first five are my older brothers' mates I'm guessing, I never actually met them. The last three were my older sisters. "Ooh! we should bring Christopher and Alexander!" Chris and Xander (I'm actually the only one who calls them this. we're really close) are my younger twin brothers... They take after me and sleep late, eat a lot, and get into lots of trouble. They also refused to go to the boarding school and we basically agree on everything except mates. Honestly, I feel closer to them than my own twin sometimes.

"Let me get ready" I sigh because I knew either way I was going. I step into my bathroom and turn on the shower. While it's warming up, I like my shower's hot btw, I go pick out my outfit.

I quickly decide on black swim bottoms and a camo top and boy do they show skin. it's not in a slutty way because my breasts aren't hanging out of the top but it's one step closer to slutty than any of my other swimsuits. I then grab some black booty shorts and a white crop top since it's going to really warm. (I'm not going to be as hot as the other girls since they're mated. A she-wolf has the same body temperature as a human until she's mated. just another way to tell them apart.)

After I'm finished scrubbing I step out and dry off before getting dressed. I throw my hair up into a volumized ponytail. I line my eyes and throw on some mascara and some clear gloss on my already pink lips. I return to my closet and grab some black flip flops. I jog down the stairs and grab myself a granola bar since everyone else has to sneak out the back door, except for the twins.

"Boooyyysss!!! Come on, we gotta roll!" With a house full of boys, you'd better be specific of you'll have all of them invading your privacy. "Back the fuck up! Seriously! I need my space. I wasn't talking to any of you anyways." They all had confused expressions. 'They' are my older brothers; all of my siblings from oldest to youngest are Nathan, Michael, Ethan, Dominick, Charlotte, Natalie, Mason, Jordan, me, Aubrey, Christopher, Alexander, and Lilliana.

"Where's the twins?" I ask.

"Upstairs."

"Go get them then."

"Why should we?" They ask as they make themselves comfortable.

"You do know where your mates are right now, correct?"

"Yeah... they're upstairs." I laugh, how could they buy the 'wigs on the pillow' trick? by now they're already at the beach so why not blow the cover a little. "Why're you laughing?"

"They aren't upstairs. It was a wig and I need the twins so I can join them!"

"Where is she?" They all snap at once. I roll my eyes.

"If they wanted you guys to know or come they would've told you. Please don't ruin our fun!" I beg with puppy eyes.

"Only if the boys never leave your sight." Nathan agrees after awhile and I knew I won them over.

"We promise" The twins said at the same time as they walked in. They then turned to glare at each other before turning and holding out their arms for me. "Shall we?"

"We shall!" I respond out of habit.
