The Alpha Twins Tribrid Mate

Nightmares

We live just outside of London in a small village, as I turn onto the long driveway leading to the large, light brick mansion, that serves as our pack house. I pull up right outside opening my door just as a staff member runs towards me, I throw him my keys and head to the door, it is late, but I could still see some pack members hanging around.

Making my way up the stairs, I make a beeline for my room. Once in I let out a sigh of relief but the sound of a throat clearing behind me causes me to jump, spinning on the spot there sitting on my bed is my dad, the Alpha. His brows furrowed his blonde, hair combed back and sporting one of his many expensive suits, this one being dark, navy his diamond, incrusted watch catching the light making it shine even brighter reflecting rainbow colours to dance along the walls and ceiling.

Gulping down the saliva that had gathered in my mouth I went to speak when I am cut off before I have the chance to even open my mouth.

“Tomorrow we make our way to the Alpha summit, it’s only a few hours’ drive from here and this time I want you to join me now that you are eighteen, I think it’s time you get to experience it.” He says as he straightens his black tie.

Rolling my eyes and letting out my own annoyed breath “it’s going to be so boring, just a bunch of Alpha’s from around the world trying to show off who has the most money, or who is the most powerful can’t I just stay here…please?” I ask, at this point I wasn’t above begging. Going to this Alpha summit is the last thing I needed or wanted for that matter.

“No… and who knows maybe you will find your mate there, that would be exciting.” He says back completely ignoring my obvious annoyance at his request.

“pft… we have already spoke about this, I don’t want a mate I don’t want to be controlled by feelings, I don’t want or need a man.” I make sure to raise my voice slightly so he knew this would not be up for debate, there is no way I am willing to change my mind on this, my only goal in life right now is to destroy Edwin and his organisation of crazed lunatics.

Shoulders sagging slightly, he knew he wasn’t going to win this argument “ok well please just consider it, the mate bond is a beautiful thing and if you ever find it, please don’t push it away.” He says in a pleading voice, dad lost his mate a few years before finding me, it’s still a very sore subject and one I avoid talking about at all costs.

Nodding my head as I didn’t trust words right now, he stands from my bed, and lets himself out of my room without another word. Once my door has closed, I slump myself up against it, taking in a few deep breaths. I did not want to go to some boring Alpha summit, pushing off from my door I make my way to my on-suite bathroom. Turning the shower on I strip myself of my cloths and step in letting the hot water wash me off all my sins from the day.

Slipping into my queen-sized bed my eyelids getting heavier by the second until giving into the darkness of sleep.

I couldn’t move my arms and legs, they seemed to be restrained but I couldn’t see, it was pitch black I start taking in air quicker letting out tiny breaths before I would bring more air in again, I was panicking. Fighting to get my hands free when I hear a door opening then softly closing, the sound of footsteps coming towards me causing my heart to beat harder and faster as my skin becomes damp with sweat. Suddenly, a light comes on and there is a figure standing Infront of me the light seemingly so bright I had to squint to allow my eyes to adjust to the sudden brightness. Bringing my focus back onto the figure the persons features starting to appear a tall slim build man dark, red short hair and dull, green eyes, a thick, short red beard, I take in a harsh breath as realisation of who this person is washed over me like a bucket of ice water “Edwin.”

“Little Nova, you’ve been a bad girl and must be punished, you forget you belong to me, you are nothing without me… I MADE YOU!” his voice full of rage causing me to flinch.

Tears now run freely down my checks “I’m sorry please… don’t hurt me, I’m sorry.” I cry out the words, my breath catching in my throat, I scream as he stalks closer to me, his eyes shining with different ways to course me pain.

“Please… please don’t”

I’m waken Abruptly by my dad shacking me by my shoulders “Nova it’s ok, I’m here you’re ok, you’re at home safe don’t worry.” My father says, but his voice sounding so far away, even though I knew he is right in front of me.

I franticly wipe at my wet face where my tears had fallen, my still erratic breathing coursing my heart to pound hard against my chest. My head still spinning, I can’t seem to get out of my panic, my mind won’t allow it I can hear my wolf howling loudly in my head reacting to my panicked state, my vampire hissing, I could feel my magic swirling violently just below my sternum.

Dark spots begin dancing in my vision, obstructing my view coursing more panic to rise inside me. My body heat rising, causing the room to feel as if it were ablaze. “Nova, you need to calm your breathing, do it with me… in 1, 2, 3 out 1, 2, 3 again.”

We go through the breathing exercise a few more time’s until finally I have it under control, my wolf and vampire no longer pushing at the front of my mind trying to help me with my panic attack, I can breathe as my mind now feels my own again.

My body sags against the bed in relief “this is the third time this week that you have had nightmares, maybe you should reconsider about taking the sleeping pills the doctor prescribed you?” my dad’s voice barely a whisper.

“I don’t want to take pill’s; it will be fine… I’m fine.” I say my voice shaky from my panic just moments ago.

Giving my dad a smile, I knew didn’t reach my eyes just hoping he would drop it, I don’t want to talk about my nightmares because that is all they were, only nightmares they couldn’t hurt me, and I had to keep reminding myself of that fact.
