The Queen

Chapter 10

That's Elliot up there :)

Whenever I would try to think of what Elliot would look like after 3 years, my mind would usually draw a blank. I honestly thought I'd never see him again. But lo and behold here he is right in front of me. 

When I saw him I was just overwhelmed all these different types of emotions that explaining them would give me stress. 

I stood in my place with my eyes just filled with tears. Then I ran towards Elliot and just jumped onto him and hugged him koala style. During that time and moment everything was right. All my worries were gone and all my wishes had come true. 

It felt as if I was safe and no one was to hurt me again. God I really missed my twin. That's when I realized that I was ugly crying. Not that I cared or anything at that point. Then I felt Elliot's grasp on my loosen up a bit. So I took the hint that he wanted me to let go. 

So I did the opposite. And didn't let go. Then I heard a someone clear their throat and then realized that there was other people in that room besides me and Elliot. I let go of Elliot and landed on the ground and sniffled that really nasty sniffle. 

You know, how after when you cry and you just breathe in and it's nasty? Yeah? Well I had that moment. Afterwords I cringed then wiped my eyes, only to look up and see that Elliot was doing the same. He looked up and saw that I was looking at him. He gave me a weak smile. 

My wolf-like scent came back and I smelled the most voluptuous scent ever. Never before had I realized how much I liked the smell of lemon zest. I looked behind me to see that my mate was looking back at me. Except he was more or less glaring. 

I'm guessing he didn't know that Elliot and I were twins. Huh, I thought, maybe he actually does care about me. 

"This is my new Omega, Elliot. Runt this is the Beta of this pack, Beta Elliot. Now do either of you want to explain to me why that scene just happened?" My so called mate asked. Asked? Sorry I meant demanded. 

I looked back at Elliot hoping he would be able to come up with something witty. "U-uh," Elliot stuttered. I rolled my eyes. He looked at me as if saying, "Fine, then you come up with something better." Oh, if only he knew. 

"I know I didn't stutter Elliot. Why the hell did my ma-Omega jump into your arms like that?" 

My eyes widened at his near slip-up. I looked at the ground like it was the most interesting thing ever. I hoped that Elliot would play dumb and not notice it. But noo, in a matter of seconds my life went from great to where's the nearest cliff? But hey, what's new? 

Of course to make everything better Elliot noticed. I sensed that he did so I looked up from the ground just in time to see that Elliot had also looked up but with wide eyes, going back and forth between my mate and I. 

"Y-You two are mates?" Elliot asked like an idiot. No Elliot, he's my damn grandpa. 

"I asked a question first pup, and I'm not going to repeat myself." My mate snapped back. 

Elliot walked up to him and got all close to him and said, "I don't give two shits about your question, first of all. Are you and my sister mates?" He practically snarled the last bit out. "Also don't call me a pup. Oh, and I guess that I answered your question. She hugged me because I'm her brother and I haven't seen her in about 3 years. There's your damn answer, Aiden. Now answer mine." 

Oh, so my mates name is Aiden. Nice to know. 

Aiden shoved Elliot away from him and growled. "Yes, she is my mate. But it's not like I want her to be."

After that an unneeded followed. All I wanted was for someone to break the silence, to say something, anything. After all, that's all I ever wanted someone to do my whole entire life. 

At that point I just looked to the ground. After a while I could feel both Aiden and Elliot's look of pity on me. Something else I was used to. I looked up at them, my eyes flickering between the pair until I saw Elliot approach me and swipe the pads of his thumbs under my eyes. Hell, I didn't even know I was crying. He then pulled me into a hug. 

After we pulled apart, he looked down at me and gave me a sad smile. Then he turned towards Aiden. "You, you dipshit, are as worthy as a piece of trash. And you know what, my sister deserves better then a piece of trash. So if she were to reject you, or vice versa. Or even worse, you lay a finger on her you would loose more than just an amazing person. You'd loose your Beta. So, take your chances. Because you don't know what she has gone through ever. Don't make her a damn Omega. She's your mate for fuck's sake. And after 3 years of knowing you Aiden, I now know that you have also gone through some crap. But I do know that there is still good in you." Elliot concluded. 

"Elliot, I have no idea what you're talking about. You're trying to make everything great between my mate and I, but should I remind you that you've never mentioned that you had a sister before. So know I don't know if the story you told me about your past was bullshit or not." My mate stated like it was nothing. 

I just didn't know what to think now. I just felt so worthless at that point it couldn't have been considered normal. Who am I shitting though, feeling worthless should never come as a normal feeling. Even though to most people it is. 

Aiden approached me gingerly. He stopped a good foot and a half in front of me, probably because that's the distance where Elliot growled at him to stop. "Ruby," my name rolled off of his tongue so perfectly that it made my eyes snap up to his face as if he was controlling me. 

"I never had the intentions of actually making you my Omega. I just had to think of a way to let you out of that prison. They wouldn't ever let me take you out for no reason without getting suspicious. And I don't mean for it to be bad in a way that makes it seem that I don't want you to not be my mate, it's just that I have problems and I hope that with time you can accept it. And I'm rambling on but I actually want to make it work with you. Okay?" He concluded. 

I could hear my wolf yelling at me to nod my head, but I pushed her to the back of my head. I looked into his eyes and then nodded. Then quickly looked down at the ground. I felt his presence come even closer to me and then I felt his fingers underneath my chin lifting it.

"Chin up, okay?" He smiled. 

Then I fainted onto him.
