Rejected for Her

Rejected For Her: 5

Chapter 5: Story Time

I quickly masked my presence. It was a trick I'd learned from my mother. I could hear my sister sobbing and begging him not to hurt her. She was rocking back and forth and I could feel my anger rising. I silently charged at them and jumped on his back. He let out a less than manly scream and I would've giggled if it weren't for the fact that he made my sister cry and that he was probably gonna kill us both. I tried getting my hand on either side of his head so I could snap his neck but he slammed me into a wall and made me lose my grip on him. I got back up and started to shift. The man paled and put his hands up in surrender.

"PLEASE DON'T ATTACK ME AGAIN! I'M NOT HERE TO HURT YOU, I SWEAR. AND IF I DO, YOU COULD EASILY SNAP MY NECK!" The  man was obviously scared or maybe he was just a really good actor so I sat on my hind legs in front of my sister, protecting her. I could hear him exhale. I growled, letting him know that my patience was quickly running out.

"Okay, okay. You probably won't believe me but, I'm your brother." I snarled, stepping towards him, showing I didn't believe a word he was saying and I was about 2 seconds from ripping out his throat.

"WAIT, wait a second." The man then showed me a birthmark I'd only seen on myself and my sister. Our parents had told us that we were part of something special so we both had the same birthmark. I heard my sister shuffling around as she stood up behind me.

"How do you have that?" Her voice was soft and weak. I backed up to her side and nuzzled her hand, silently trying to give her courage.

"What I'm saying is true. I am your twin brother." It was only then that I noticed the same unnaturally natural silver, curly hair and blue violet eyes. His skin was muscled and mocha colored. There was no denying that he was indeed our brother.

"How? How can that be? Why haven't we ever heard of you? Why haven't we ever met you? Why haven't we ever felt your existence? This doesn't make any sense. If you are really our brother, why can't you shift?" I could hear the confusion in her voice as she questioned herself and our brother at the same time. She was trying so hard to make sense of this all.

"I live in the palace." He said as if that explained everything.

"Okay and? That still doesn't answer our other questions." My sister was growing irritated. Our brother sighed and rolled his eyes.

"I live with the king and queen of all Succubi and Incubi that's why you haven't met me, well that and we weren't supposed meet yet but our mother thought it was time. I can't shift because I'm not a wolf, I'm an Incubus. You haven't felt my existence because I'm just an Incubus. You've only felt each other's existence because your wolves are linked."

"How can you be our brother and an Incubus?"

"Your mother and father aren't really your mother and father. Your mother is the Succubus queen and your father was a wolf who was killed when the king found out about the affair. The queen always says that the wolf was her True Love. Anyways, she was given an ultimatum by the king. He wouldn't allow 3 bastards to live in his palace so our mother could either kill us all or keep one and let the others go, never to contact them again. You can guess which one she chose. She personally dropped you off at the Alpha's house because our father was from this pack and she knew that you guys would be well taken care of. But she was devastated, so devastated that she went to a witch to see if he could foresee you guys in the future, safe and sound, he did. But he also foresaw all the terrible tragedies we would all go through if we weren't reunited. So she made plan, on our 21st birthday, we would be reunited and take over the throne. One of you, I'm not sure which, is a hybrid. Both a Succubus and a wolf. The other is pure wolf. It's the way of triplets born to parents of two different species." As he went on about where we really came from and who our parents really were, it dawned on me that I was royalty, my family wasn't my family, I had not one, but two twins, and we were fraternal triplets instead of identical twins. In my shock, I shifted back.

I heard the same girly scream I'd heard earlier and quickly hid myself behind the huge teddy bear that was given to me as a child that was a little more than half my size. My sister got me some clothes and I thanked her as I got dressed.

"I would believe you but we haven't gone through any tragedies. We've been happy all our lives. Even as children, we never had a bad day. We were always smiling." My sister countered. Our brother looked confused.

"Well first off, the reason you've always been happy was because of our mother. One of you had to just recently gone through a tragedy. Our mother felt it and that's why she sent me. She's been feeling the pain of one of you. Which of you has gone through immense pain and then just felt it disappear? It was our mother, it's one of the powers of a Succubus." My eyes widened when I realized he was describing when Matthew rejected me. My sister looked confused. I let my head drop.

"I don't know what your-" Eliza was cut off by our brother, whose name I still didn't know, pointing to my broken appearance.

"Kayla?" My sister asked and at that point I broke into sobs. I worked so hard to keep this secret hidden. My knees felt too weak to hold me up and I fell to the floor with my head in my hands, sobbing harder and apologizing over and over to Eliza for keeping it from her. She scurried over to me and held me in her arms. Our brother stood there, awkwardly scratching his arm.

"What's going on? WHY IS SHE CRYING?" I could hear the fear in her voice but I couldn't get myself to stop sobbing long enough to tell her it wasn't our brother's fault. I saw our brother shrug his shoulders through my blurred vision. Once I had calmed down long enough to talk clearly, I turned to my sister.

"It wasn't our brother, it was Matthew."
