Truce’s point of view :- ----------------------------- “Mirth! The phone’s ringing. Pick it up.” I can hear the phone kept ringing at the bedside table for quite a minute now. But my silly brother is not picking it up at all. I am in the shower, taking a bath to get ready for college. Where is that i***t anyway? How can he not hear the noise when I can hear it clearly through a running shower? “You pick it up. I’m busy” It was the reply when I shouted at him to pick up. “I can’t. I am still in the shower.” “Well, I also can’t. I am putting up my pants.” I understood that he is doing this on purpose. He doesn’t want to talk to the person who is calling us. And now I have a clear idea of who it might be. So, having no choice, I got out with my drenched body, just a towel around my waist, to pick the phone up. “Hello.” “Where were you two idiots? We have been calling for hours. Do you think our time is not important? Do you think you are the busiest person on earth? Well, you are not..” As soon as I picked up the call, there was a rain of words on me from none other that our dear sisters. It was Hope who kept screaming at me without giving me a chance to explain. I looked up at Mirth, who was hiding his smile while truly pulling up his pants. And I gave him a look of ‘I will make you pay’ before continuing with her. “My sweet little sister. Can you please keep you pregnancy hormones in control? The world won’t end if we fail to pick up the call once in a while. I was in shower and Mirth was dressing up.” Yes, our sisters are now pregnant with their first child. Surprisingly, both at once. So, their pregnancy hormones are running all over the place, showering anger on every small mistake of others. Poor Gordon is going crazy with two insane mates demands all the time. “It’s not my hormones. It is me who is irritated at your behaviour. Why don’t you guys call us anymore? Are you trying to ignore us? If you think we disturb you, say it on our face. We will never call you a second time.” “It’s not like that. You know what we are like. You two are our sisters. We can never get rid of you. You are a very important part of our lives. And soon there’s going to be more like you to give us joy.” “Stop buttering us now. We know what you mean..” “Hope. Stop bothering them for no reason. Give me the phone. Hello? Truce? How are you two? Are you in collage right now?” Faith took the phone from Hope and it seems like everything will calm down. “No. We are getting ready for it. And we are fine. How are you guys? How are the babies doing?” “Everyone’s perfect. Babies have started kicking. Come home soon and I will let you feel them. But I was wondering, did you find a girl yet? Did anyone catch your attention?” “Faith. Don’t start. You know we are not looking for a chosen mate yet. We are not interested in human girls.” “Why not? You don’t like supernatural girls. You don’t like human girls. Than what do you like? Don’t tell me that you two are into boys. Wait? Are you two g*y? Tell me the truth.” “Shut up. No, we are not g*y. You know why we are not looking for girls.” “Listen to me. Move on. You are not going to find your mate. Maybe you should accept a chosen mate now. You only have one year left to come back and take your responsibilities. It’s going to become too much for you then.” “Okay. I understand. Umm.. I have to go. I am hanging up, okay?” “No. Wait. Mom wants to talk to you.” “I don’t have time. We are getting late. I will talk to her later. Bye..” I hanged up the phone as fast as I could. The topic she picked up is not what I want to discuss anymore. I hate it whenever they mention about our mate. Why can’t they accept that we only want to be with our destined mate and no one else? Why can’t they let us be as we are? Isn’t that why we left home in the first place? “They came to that point again, right? I wish they would stop calling us too. It’s really irritating. Get ready fast. We are late.” Mirth is almost ready when I was nowhere near it. So, forgetting about the call, I went to get ready fast. It’s going to take a bit of time to reach to the Rydell University that we are studying in because we bought a house a bit far from there. Rydell University is one of the top universities where very few can get admission and even with a very high marks. Thankfully, our brains are sharp to bring us here and we got rid of those who know that we are kings and we were supposed to be marked by now. At first we were living in a rented apartment till a few months ago, we bought this house. It’s a medium size house with every facility in it. And the most important part is, it is located inside the forest where there is no one to bother us. But even though the house is great, the only thing it’s missing is a female touch to become a home. It’s been two years since we became kings and four years since we found out about our powers. At the age of 16, we found out that both Mirth and I have the same powers. We both are werewolves, but have vampire powers as well. And just like we can shift into wolves, we can shift into vampire too, with fangs and red eyes. But surprisingly, Faith and Hope, our sisters have fairy and mermaid powers, but they can’t shift. I have no idea why the moon goddess thought that this is a good idea for two of us to give the same power and two of them are different from each other and us. But according to the moon goddess’s words, only one can rule each kind. So Mirth and I were in trouble at first with who will take which kinds responsibility. We both are the same to say. But finally we made a decision that he will take the vampire kind and I will take werewolf because even though we have the same powers, we were more attracted to that kind. In our human form, I act more like a werewolf as I have that ability heightened, and Mirth has vampire senses and reflexes more, in his human form. After getting ready, we got into our car and went towards the university. On our way, I enjoyed the fresh air blowing through my hair and my skin, calming all of my tensions out. This is what I love most about this place. The air in here is so fresh that it feels like we are sitting beside the lake enjoying the evening breeze. But as soon as we reached to our destination, my mood got heavy. Like every day, there are few girls standing at the gate to see us or flirt with us. Since we joined this university, the human girls have gotten crazy. Yes, it’s true that us supernaturals are more handsome than humans and we are the kings of them. So, that means we are the handsomest boys in this entire city. But can’t they see that we are not interested in them? We try to ignore them as much as we can, but they still keep following us with the hope of getting lucky. As soon as we got out of the car, they started shrieking and hopping on their own feet in excitement. But we pretended to not see them at all and went on our way to the class. Mirth and I took the same major, so that we can stay with each other all the time. After attending all our lectures of first half, we finally got a lunch break. So, we went to grab some food as we couldn’t eat anything in the morning. Yes, we have learned to cook in these years because it is a first necessity to live on our own, but we still miss mom’s food. We chose to sit on an empty table, a bit far from the crowd, and started eating. We were only half done when out of nowhere a girl came to our table and sat with us. “Umm.. I am new here. And I saw you two sitting alone, so I thought about joining you. I am Beth, by the way. And you are?” She forwarded her hand for us to shake, and I looked at her from head to toe. The dress she is wearing doesn’t show that she could be alone on this whole campus. Those short, revealing clothes can make any man drool over her. But she chose us among all. Tough luck. “None of your business. Now, if you are done flirting, you can leave. We are trying to eat.” Mirth gave her a straight answer. “Who said I came here to flirt with you? I just want to be friends with you two handsome boys. Keep me on your side and I promise you will be the luckiest man in this entire university.” “Sorry, but we are not interested in you or your offer. Now leave.” “Huh.. Why are you being so rude? I only want to be your friend.” “But we don’t. Let’s go, Truce. This place has gotten infested with insects. We can’t eat here anymore.” “How dare you to call me an insect? Fine. If you two baboons don’t know how to treat a proper lady, then eat alone. You deserve to be alone forever.” She spat it at us in anger before getting up and leaving our table. I looked around to see many new faces around. There are lot of new girls staring at us right now. “Why are there so many freshers today all of a sudden?” I asked Mirth in wonder. “It’s the first day for the first year students.” “What? oh goddess. Not again.” I lost my appetite by just thinking about all those new girls who are going to take their chances on us. Each year new students join, we become their first target. We get to see many different types of human enter. Some are excited, some nervous, some sad, some cheerful, some alone and some in a group. But the worst one is the couples. Every time a couple enters a class, they become the center of attraction, as they love to show their affections in front of others. It’s a different matter that they rarely end up together by the end of the year. But it is torturing for us to see that. Every time we see some couple in love, it reminds us how lonely we are. I was just planning to suggest Mirth about leaving this place because all these eyes on us are making me uncomfortable, when something caught my attention. Among all the scents of perfumes, there is this specific one that attracted me towards it. It is a sweet smell of lavender that is blooming through the entire campus. It wasn’t here, just a minute ago. But where is it coming from now? “Are smelling it? Where is it coming from?” I asked Mirth who looks same amazed as me. “I don’t know. But it seems like I have never smelled such an amazing scent before. We have to find the source of it. Where is it coming from?” Both of us started looking around to find where this scent of lavender was coming from. Did someone bring flowers in college? We were looking for the flower and completely missed the person who just crossed our table and went to sit at the end of the sitting area, all alone. But when she walked beside us, the smell hit our nose, making us close our eyes and take all of its freshness in. “Mate. She is our mate. We found our mate at last.” My eyes shot open when my wolf Lupo, announced it in my head. Mate? We have a mate?
