Her Heart's Whisper

CHAPTER 5

After what seemed like an eternity of waiting with my eyes tightly clasped together. Patiently waiting to be punished. I finally gain the courage to look at the big shadow in front of me.

Light honey coloured eyes staring with the intent to harm. My wolf wanting to win this little staring game of ours. I need to force her to look away else I will face the harsh consequences from this new leader. I look away in submission to this Alpha. Alpha Ian.

He scans my body, his face contorting to what appears to be an expression of disgust. He quickly pulls away his hands and almost runs to the tap. I should be feeling insulted. But I don't. It's not the first time that this has happened.

I've been so busy watching the Alpha's expressions that I didn't notice that there was another person in the room. Ahhh he must be Lucas, second in charge. His bright blue eyes displaying his caring heart, it makes it hard to pull away from them.

He must be the person that I was in search of.

He must be the caring soul who nursed my wounds and offered me what no one else cared to offer.

He's so different from the Alpha. Lucas. What a sweet name. A little smile wanting to play on my lips but I shove it away. I have become accustomed to not displaying my happiness.

"Why the hell are you here? Who the hell are you? How much have you heard, dirty bitch?" I almost flinch. The harshness of the Alpha's voice startling me. His footsteps becoming more louder and fierce with every step.

"N-n-nothing--N-n-n-nobody. I was just just looking for s-s-something in in here" I whisper to the ground. My wolf threatening to let out an angry growl. I cough loudly to hide the suppression of it.

"Alpha Lucas, relax. Let me" he stares at his angry Alpha. He must be the calm, collected kind of guy in these kinds of situations.

He turns to face me. Quickly making his way to me. My hands going to dust my dress nervously.

"We know that you've heard something, okay? So you could either make this easy or hard for yourself. So just tell us all that you've heard, okay? " he tries to soothe the situation.

He exhales slowly whilst I inhale.

"Yeah and trust me whore, we can make this pretty damn difficult for you!" he shouts out from the corner of the room. Reminding me that we aren't the only two in this room.

He makes it so difficult to calm my raging she wolf.

I exhale loudly. "All I've heard is that Alpha Ian is taking what is rightfully his. I am deeply sorry for eavesdropping Alpha Ian". There's no need to let this Alpha know the rest.

"Stop lying bitch. But I don't expect any less from you. The entire pack hates you. I'm pretty sure there's a good damn reason for that"

"Alpha Ian..." Lucas starts but he's cut off by his Alpha.

"You will clean the pack house and cook. You heard me, you little whore?" he says cockily.

I nod to the Alpha, staring a little longer than expected of me. Just a second away from what's regarded as unacceptable.

My mind still occupied with the thoughts of Lucas. It keeps replaying how he took care of me, as I worked through the filth of the pack house.

I finally walk into the kitchen. Ready to start preparing for lunch. But I'm surprised to see a whole lot of ingredients already seated on the counter. A few steps to the stove, has me facing a huge pot of pasta boiling on the stove.

From the looks of it, it seems as if somebody has already demanded pasta for lunch.

"Hey, thought you'd need some help. Especially with those wounds still healing." I turn around to face the voice. Lucas standing in the doorway.

Never has anyone helped me before. Never has anyone spoke to me with so much of respect before. I turn around as tears cloud my vision, threatening to spill. I swipe at a few tears and wash my hands, ready to prepare the pasta. I busy myself with the cutting of the chicken.

I feel his presence behind me, "Here, let me" he says whilst gently ushering the knife out of my grasp. "You shouldn't be cutting, you're still wounded. Why don't you grate the cheese instead? Or maybe you can make the sauce?"

I'm not used to this.

I'm not used to such care. I'm not used to such kind words.

I secretly hope this meal never gets cooked. I secretly hope it's never ready to eat. Even though we barely spoke, barely interacted with each other. It was the perfect silence. A perfect moment.

Everything was perfect until they rushed in. And for the very first time they displayed such hate. You'd swear that they weren't twins. That they weren't sisters. No blood relation. Just two girls after a guy. And the guy is the blue eyed wolf currently preparing lunch with me.

For the first time Andrea didn't look as weak as she usually did, compared to her sister. Now they seemed like they were on the same level but still much weaker than me. 

Meek wolves my wolf snarled.

"How dare you surround my mate with your stink, you little whore!"

My ears barely recognising this she wolf in front of me. For the first time, Andrea doesn't fake it. She stands up straighter, puffing herself up more. Trying to look as intimidating as she possibly can. The only problem is that I am no longer one to get intimidated.

"Your mate, Andrea? Like seriously? Is it not enough that you have been claiming your rights on my clothes and make-up? Now, you want MY mate! Stay the hell away from Lucas, Drea!"

My eyes dart to the blue eyed guy seated in front of me then back at the raging she wolves.

Within a few seconds, the twins are pouncing on the second in charge. Their teeth piercing him on the neck, the very spot that his mate's mark will forever remain. He screams in pain as a pool of blood forms on either side of him. He suffers to get the greedy she wolves of.

The mark of his fated will remain. Either Alexia's or Andrea's.

Seconds pass us by. Then minutes. Then half an hour.

Finally an hour passes. Both marks are still on either side of his neck. None of them disappearing.

I have heard that twins often have the same mate. But never have I seen it.
