Gage's P.O.V
"Twin sister?" Naomi asked with confusion. "Since when did you have a twin sister?"
"Since I was born. Just never told you about it. It's kind of a sore subject." I said softly.
"Oh. Well you don't have to talk about it. It's fine, I have a couple of sore subjects myself." She said understanding.
I gave her a small smile of appreciation and squeezed her hand.
I closed the lid of my laptop and brought it to the couch by the bed. I ran my hand through my hair and sighed with exhaustion. All I wanted was to have my mate safely in my arms and go to sleep.
I turned off the light and met her in bed. I got comfortable under the covers and I pulled Naomi closer to me. She didn't fight me at all and it made me a bit happier.
I guess she's finally getting comfortable around me.
"Gage?"
"Hmm?"
"What happened to her?"
My muscles tightened.
"I'm sorry. I know I said you don't have to talk about it but I'm really curious."
"She was kidnapped, by the Blood Moon Pack."
Silence.
She sighed as if she was holding her breath. Then she turned around so she was facing me.
The look she had on her face was hard to decipher.
We looked at each other for a few moments searching in each other's eyes.
She laid her hand on my face and her eyes softened as she said, "I'm not going to pity you or do anything special for you because of pity. Because after a while it's becomes unbearable, and I would know. But I am sorry." She moved closer to me and hugged me while laying her head on my chest.
I didn't know I needed to hear that until now. I was speechless not knowing what to say. There was no bullshit in her speech. Nothing like "Oh I'm sure she'll be home soon." Or "That's a shame." Or "Well at least you have the Alpha position to yourself." What she said was the most genuine thing I have heard in years. Suppressed tears where brought out from feelings of remorse resurfacing from years ago.
I sighed and kissed the top of her head while blinking the tears away.
"I appreciate that." I mumbled. I squeezed her and made sure there was no space left between our bodies.
Her touch and her kind words have healed my damaged heart just a bit more.
Just as I was about to fall sleep I noticed that a small weight have been lifted off my shoulders. I breathed a bit easier, and overall I felt better. I felt her kiss my cheek but she was very close to my lips and I was tempted to actually kiss her but I restrained myself. I had to settle for her almost kiss and drift off to slept.
********************************************
Somethings wrong.
What?
Something is just off, it doesn't feel right.
Should I wake up?
Yes. Hurry.
My eyes flew open. My heart was pumping faster than usual.
The sun hasn't reached the horizon yet so it was still pretty dark other then the street lamps creating wired shadows in the room. There was no moon tonight and it was cloudy.

Werewolf"At least tell me your name." He said shoving his hands in his pockets. "Tell me yours first." "King, Gage King." "Emerald, Naomi Emerald." I said copying him. I felt him staring at me when I walked away. I thought he would run after me like they do...
