Her Alpha Twin mates (book #3)

Emotions

Alora POV

We sat in the garden until it was time to eat.

I didn't want to see or speak to Aiden or Austin after the stunt they pulled. Not only have they doubted Holly, but they also doubt me. Those notes scream immature ramblings of a jealous she-wolf, not a valid threat, and no matter what they think, they have really let me down. Their expectations of me are a joke. They obviously want me to sit back and look good while popping out pups, and it infuriates me. 'Me too, we are more than that,' Veda states, disappointed with our mates' views too.

"Come on, we better head in and show our faces before they send a search party," Holly says, rolling her eyes.

She's as pissed off as me regarding her mate.

"Ok, but I'm not sitting with them, I can't believe they doubt us so much." I state, standing up and looping my arm with Holly. She agrees with a nod of her head.

Luckily entering the dining room, they are not here.

"Let's sit here," I suggest after we select our food, heading for the almost full table.

"Sure," she replies and follows me to an empty seat.

"How are you all?" I ask with a smile as our members look both shocked that we have sat with them as we tend to sit at the same table every meal time, but also happy that we have joined them.

"We are good, thank you, Luna," Frank smiles, Wonda elbows her mate and gives him the stink eye, "how are you both, Luna Alora, Beta Holly " she asks and Frank realised why his mate elbowed him "We are good also thank you" Holly smiles and we tuck in our food and join in the conversation.

normally, if I'm upset or worried, I find it difficult to eat, but I had no problem finishing my mountain of food. If I'm being honest, though, I think it's because of our pup.

We say our goodbyes and make our way out. It's already dark, but I have no interest in going to my mates.

"I'm going to head for a bath and have an early night," Holly says, dejected. "Are you ok?" I ask because I'd hate for her to feel like this because of me.

"I'm tired it's been a taxing day." It was all she said, heading for the stairs.

"I'll walk that way with you. There is something I'd like to tell you." I smile as we both head for the stairs.

Caria and Carrie are walking our way, but I see the hesitation in them. "Hey Caria, how's Donna?" I ask, but she looks like a deer caught in the headlights.

It takes her a couple of minutes to gain her composure back. "She is doing great. We have to go. I'll catch up with you tomorrow." she quickly replied, and they left."How strange, what's that about?" I say, but Holly just shrugs her shoulders."No idea."

and we start walking up the stairs, I have no idea what is going off around me.

I have decided to tell Holly about our pup, I wanted to tell her and Donna together when we came home, but everything happened so fast, and we haven't had a chance.

"So out with it," she c****d her eyebrow at me, but I shook my head at her, not wanting to be out in the open because we don't want anyone else to know just yet.

"When we reach your floor, it's private," and she nodded her head at me but peirced me with a worried look. "ok, let's go quicker." she is always so impatient, but I don't protest and match her speed.

Opening the door to her floor, I stop just inside and close the door.

"I wanted to tell my girls together," I say sadly as this isn't how I visioned it.

"Whatever it is, you can tell me, and I'll help anyway I can," she says now with her arms wrapped around me, I love this girl so much.

I wrap my arms around her waist and hold on tighter. "I'm pregnant," I whisper, and I feel her body stiffen, and then her shoulders were shuddering ever so slightly.

I try to lean back so I can check on her, but she doesn't let go she holds me tighter. She sniffles. "Awe, Alora, that's amazing. I'm going to be an auntie, " she whispers and pulls back but keeps her hands on my shoulders.

Her tear streaked face looks at me, but it's not sadness, only happiness that oozes from her.

"Yeah, you are. Our pup has the strongest aunties. Loyal and loving, and I can't thank you enough for standing by me since I first came home," and now we are both crying.

"I'll always be by your side. We are family." she smiles and pulls me into a fierce hug.

We stayed this way for a little while.

I've left a much happier Holly to have a bath, and I make my way to our room.

Today has been a roller coaster of emotions.

Stress and anger are the most I've felt all day, and I'm ready for a soak, to hopefully soak away some tension from my tense muscles.

I'm releived when I enter our room and it's empty. I'm happy they are not here, but also, a pang of sadness hits that they are not here.

It's so hard to be angry with them, especially when I miss them when I'm not with them. 'Me too,' Veda says and blocks herself away.

I don't blame her, though, because I'd hide away too if I could.

Laying in the hot soapy water really does feel great, I feel some of the tension melt.

I don't wash my hair as I can't be arsed to dry it.

I wash and just soak.

I hear the door open and click shut, but they don't speak. I know it's both my mates because their scent hits my nose.

Mates scents can bring so much calmness and comfort, and that is what I take from it.

I won't tell them that, though.

The door handle turns, but I had locked it for this very reason. They are not going to get around me that easy, I know once their hands are on me, I'll be putty, but they need to realise that what they did was wrong.

I had also brought my PJs in with me for the same reason.

"Alora," Austin says quietly, but I don't answer. Instead, I pull the plug out and stand up, wiping the bubbles off my body.

There's no way they will let me relax, so I might as well just get out.

I dried my body and put on my PJs, and as I looked into the mirror, as I brushed my teeth, I looked so tired. My eyes give away how tired I feel, I just want to sleep.

I open the door, but I don't give a glance at my mates, I walk to our bed, climb in, and cover myself with the quilt.

"Alora, can we talk?" Austin asks, but I'm too tired to talk.

"Alora, we need to talk about it," Aiden said, but if I look at them, I'll not be able to keep myself together. The last few days really have been too much.

"We can talk tomorrow, I want to sleep," I whisper, but I know they can hear me.

The bed dips, and I feel one of them lay their hands on me, I shrug it off, just because I'm in our bed and want to sleep doesn't mean they can touch me.
