My Twin Professors

Chapter 5: Alpha's Home In The Woods

--River's POV--

      I say goodbye to my family and they are all so excited for me.

      At least somebody is. I know being happy would make everything so much easier but it's just so hard when everything is going against me. I never asked for a mate, let alone 2. I know, I've said this before...over and over...and over. But it's true. Leaving my pack is going to suck...like a lot. I have my family, I have Emilia, I have...

      Well, I guess I'm not that popular with people in my pack. Everyone's nice to me, but nobody has ever really matched my efforts of becoming friends.

      See, maybe a change won't be that bad...we can make friends, make...love.

      Okay I'm stopping you right there Delia because I really don't need you to be fantasizing right now.

      Just try to imagine all the good things that could come from this.

      How are you so optimistic all the time?

      You love it, just admit it.

      I roll my eyes and catch the attention of Ryker. Actually, I don't think it caught his attention, he was watching me while I was talking to Delia. He gives me a knowing wink and his signature smirk. Hunter looks back at me in the rear-view mirror quickly, his eyes flickering between me and the road as he half focuses on driving.

      They are both trying to give me attention, Ryker being able to give 100% of his attention to me. I don't think I like it...it's so different from my normal life. There were 6 of us in my house, not even counting my parents, and even they were busy with running our pack instead of us.

      I mean our parents absolutely love all of us, but they had to balance raising us and also making sure our pack didn't fall apart. They are my superheros and I've always wanted to be just like them, especially my mom. She married into the crazy life that she lives now, and she's so happy about it all.

      You're going to live that life soon too, just imagine all the good things that will come from our mates.

      I roll my eyes once more and Ryker looks at me confused, "Is your wolf being annoying again River? Should I deal with her for you?"

      "It's fine, she's just obsessed with the whole m-"

      "Mating thing? So is mine, it's getting a little annoying if I'm being honest. All he keeps talking about it mating with you, or meeting your wolf. Delia right?"

      All of a sudden I feel incredibly uncomfortable...I mean Delia has been thinking these thoughts too but hearing them out loud is almost embarrassing. I feel my cheeks start to heat up and I know I am visibly blushing now. I'm not blushing because I want that to happen-

      Yes you are...I know you are, you don't need to hide it from me 

      Ignoring Delia...I'm blushing because it's so weird. How is Ryker alright with just straight up talking about stuff like that? I've never been around people so comfortable with that, not even my older brothers.

      "Ryker you're making her uncomfortable. Do you ever think before you talk?" Hunter says, saving me from Rykers questioning.

      "Why would I when I always have to around pack members. It gets boring having a filter all the time. Anyway, she hasn't really met either of our wolves and we've never met hers. Shouldn't we get that over with soon so they don't go crazy?"

      "You're not wrong about that, but not in the car. River, would you be okay with us doing something like that later?"

      This is all too much. All way too much. I just met both of them...TODAY. Now I have to meet basically 2 new people and make them like me too? I don't think I can do that. It's way too much pressure...and they are super over protective. They basically attacked me in the hall earlier today and that was super intense.
