Stuck Between The Alpha And His Rogue Twin

Mine To Keep

Axel POV

“Hello brother” He greeted with a scoff, staring at both Katarina and me.

I turned back and Katarina immediately turned her back to me.

“You didn't warn her about that?” Damon teased, making me scowl.

He still hated me, it's been years, but nothing I ever did pacified him or made his anger subdue.

“You can look now” I muttered, and she did before staring at me straight in the eye.

Her wolf was cute and for a first timer, she was doing so well with all these…well, until Damon.

Never did I suspect that I'd be given the same mate as my brother.

I handed over the clothes hung over my shoulder, I knew somehow she would need this, just like she'd need me.

“Damon.” I called him in amazement as he stared at Katarina, who had returned fully clothed and was standing behind me.

“What are you doing with my mate?”

“Why do I have two mates?” I heard Katarina muttered.

“Because the goddess hates me so much” he laughed derisively, “I bet he could have fed you with lies about me, it's one good trait of his”

“Damon!!” I yelled to call him to order, at least, I still took some few minutes from him.

He laughed, “Are you in pain?? Well, you can't be as hurt as I was, and I wouldn't rest until I hurt you to the fullest and I will start with Katarina, who is MY MATE!!!”

“Our mate!” I wanted to scream at him but rather, I closed my eyes in pain”He never trusted me and I don't think he never will.”

I am Axel Malcolm, the first son of Drain Malcolm, an Alpha. Damon was my twin brother, my parents never for once, treated us differently, and we were best friends until the ugly incident happened which turned an eleven-year-old Damon being thrown out the pack to die.

“Hey, what's this again, what's going on, what's he talking about?” Katarina questioned me.

I opened my eyes just to see her in front of me, staring at my face, I looked at her face as she was close by. “You are so beautiful” I declared to her, making her frown.

She glared at me, “Is that what I was asking you??” I chortled bitterly.

“You should go with him, he will treat you better, and you will be safer with him by your side.” Cruz growled in my head in disdain.

I was crazy, rejecting her to gain Damon's trust back. I wanted to assure her that I'd be back for her, but I said nothing.

“What!” She asked before giving Damon the Look, “Do you mean that I should go with a stranger?? What am I even saying?? You are a stranger too!!” she laughed.

I felt hurt by her words, but there is Damon who can do anything to see me sad.

“Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! Did the Alpha just surrender??” Damon mocked.

“Please have Katarina and let's become the brothers we used to be once more” I pleaded desperately and stupidly.

“Never!!!” He thundered, “Not while I'm still breathing!!” He faced his other rogues, “Seize her and take her to the hideout!!” I watched with my fists clenched and Cruz growling angrily as Katarina was taken away.

I grasped his collar, “Why? Why can't you believe me, I'm innocent” I lamented. “Please, just leave Katarina out of this, she knows nothing.” I pleaded.

He faked a yawn. “How are you feeling right now, dear brother?”

“Pain!! All I'm feeling is pain coming right from my heart.”

“Sorry, but I felt more pain than you can ever feel” I slowly released his collar.

“This is not the brother I used to know.” I thought out loud.

“That brother left you at 10 years old and can NEVER BE ME AGAIN!”

“See you around brother and oh! I will remember to treat your mate, I mean our mate right, ha! Ha!! Ha!!!” He shifted back to his form and drove into the wood.

“Katarina!!!”

Damon POV

I smiled when I remembered the look of hurt in Axel's eyes, it was so satisfying, and I can't wait to see more of it.

“Where is our Alpha's mate?” I asked sarcastically.

“She's in her room” a guard told me.

“Let's go and pay a visit to our new friend” I told Chris, my wolf.

“Of course.” He replied, he was just as evil as I am.

“Oh!! Our beautiful princess.” I sang devilishly. “Where are you?? We would love to see your beautiful face, where are you?”

I gently opened her door, only to meet her on the floor, I rolled my eyes balls dramatically, thinking she was pretending.

“Our beautiful princess is sleeping on the floor or, oh! Is she pretending?? Let's teach her not to play us again.” I sang, tiptoeing to her side.

I turned her over with her shoulder, she didn't bother to move. “What the hell is happening?” I wondered.

“I think she fainted or something.” Chris replied scoffing.

“Huh?? Fainted?? She hasn't even seen anything yet.” I laughed.

“Anyways, Scott." I called, Scott immediately appeared, “Carry her to the infirmary now.”

“Alright alpha.” I watched as she has been carried out.

“She looks and seems fragile.” Chris noticed, I just nodded my head. “And she's beautiful.” he remarked, I smiled slightly. “Of course, she is.”

I am Damon Malcolm, the second and last born of the Malcolm family, my brother, Axel, committed a colossal atrocity which I was not ready to forgive, he kept on lying to me that it wasn't him, but the evidence was glaring and all pointing at him, so only a fool will believe him and sadly for him, I am not one.

I went to the infirmity where Katarina was, I saw her in a room, sleeping peacefully, I sat down beside her, caressing her smooth face.

“You were not my mate but now, I think you have to be because, I'm not taking you back to Axel. I am keeping you to myself, you are too beautiful to be his.” I gently bent my face towards her neck, I inhaled her scent, it was intoxicating, I felt my canine growing, gracing her smooth skin.
