Vampire Twins Meet The Pack (Book One)

Chapter 43

Everyone was standing or sitting in the dining room waiting for whatever our alphas were going to tell us. Steve walked though the door with Patricia right being him. Then Serafina and Jaydon walked in; he was right behind her, almost touching her. When Bishop saw that he growled softly so I barely heard it. I looked at him funny then turned my attention back towards Steve. He told us about how Serafina was almost kidnapped and how Bishop had saved her. Now we all were pissed off, even Roger's pack. We recognized the threat and wanted to kill it. No one dared attack our pack. All these things were being yelled out in rage when Steve hushed us.

"We will get them! They won't get away with this! I promise! But right now we need to calm down and find out more about the enemy or enemies. Find out WHO they are! And what they want with our packmate." Steve looked calm but his voice gave away how outraged he was. Then we all had to have someone else with us at all times, no was going to be alone. All of Roger's pack was moved into two rooms farthest from everyone else. The teens and Lanie were moved into the same room. It was large and definitely built for teens and kids. We weren't allowed to go to school, not that any of us were complaining.

"Ariana!" Peter was shaking me and he woke me up.

"What, Peter?" I asked, sleepily rubbing my eyes.

"Get up."

"I am...I am." I yawned and looked at him. It was dark but something was off about him. His eyes a little too dark, his hair lighter than normal, his voice not as deep, his smell wasn't Peter's...this wasn't Peter. I jumped up in a fighting stance. Then I screamed as loud as I could, "YOU'RE NOT PETER!" His eyes got wide then he jumped at me to put his hand over my mouth but I jumped away falling over a large lump in the middle of the floor, hearing a moan. Samuel, Peter's little brother. Then I heard people waking up to see what was going on. I grabbed the fake Peter. I jumped on his back then I bit him letting venom seep deep into the wound, knocking him out cold.

"Ariana! You just bit Peter!" someone yelled at me in surprise.

Then I heard the voice that my ears had grown used to, "what are you talking about? Why would Ariana bite me?"

"Peter!" I jumped on him and wrapped my legs around him, burying my face into his shoulder.

"Jeesh, what a wake up call," he mumbled into my neck. I let go of him and slid down then we all walked over to fake Peter. Jaydon turned him over and everyone gasped. He looked just like Peter expect the small differences. By now Steve and Patricia where in our shared room. They saw "Peter" then Patricia passed out and Steve barely caught her, looking very surprised himself.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Everyone looked worried as Peter asked the question.

Steve was mumbling stuff under his breath. I listened closer, hearing, "...Not possible...died...how is...only one survived..." Then Patricia started waking up.

"Will someone tell us what's going on?!" Jenni snapped, impulsively losing her patience.  

Patricia looked at "Peter" again and this time she started crying. "Steve, it's him...it's really him."

"Who's him?" we all asked almost at the same time.

"Cole...." Steve said softly.

"Peter's twin brother. The doctors told us he died at birth," Patricia said, tears in her soft eyes. "But here he is."

Cole...was starting to move and wake up. My fangs were growing, lengthening. I didn't like this dude. He groaned and rubbed his hand over his similar features to Peter's. I flashed over to him and held him against the wall hissing in his face, fear flashed into his eyes for a second.

"Ariana!" Everyone was grabbing for me. But anger was bubbling up inside me.

"You tried to take me away from MY pack, MY mate!" I hissed at him, now there was confusion in his eyes.

"Your mate? Your pack?"

"You think I'm stupid? Of course I'd know you're not my mate!" My anger now radiated from me.

"Ariana?" Then something flashed in his eyes and his eyes rolled back into his head. Everyone crowded around him, unsure. I looked at my brother. He looked focused, or deep in thought. Then he snapped out of it and Cole started gasping for air. I looked back and forth in between them. What just happened?
