The Twin Witches

Chapter 12

Always following

It's been two weeks since she woke up. Freya couldn't believe that she was lost in her memories for almost two weeks. When she woke up, all was restored in her head. The attacked, her aunt, her mother, they were alive and she knew it. Her visions, the day she left Ariana. In her vision Ariana was in the park holding a woman's hand in her right and a man her left. She was happy and then she saw herself with Chris and Sienna. That's why she left Ariana, she wanted her sister to be safe and happy and she herself would find their mother. She didn't want another mother, she wanted her real mother. She knew where Ariana was, she would get her when she found their mother. There were a couple of incidents that put her and Chris on a path but she avoided him till Selene interfered and took her memories. She was sure that she would leave Crescent Moon if she had those memories in her.

“You were a stubborn little brat.” She heard Ella's remark in her head.

“What are you thinking?” Freya gazed at the doorway, Alex was standing there with his back on the wall. Freya narrowed her eyes at him. Since she woke up, he was so protective of her, and always following her like a tail.

“Why are you here?” He lifted his right hand and scratched the back of his neck. It was a kind of habit he had that she had noticed in the last few days.He was trying to come up with another reason why he was in her room, she understood it very well.

“Your mother had let me in, and your room door is half open”, he began and she stared at him.

“Why are you here exactly? Do you need something?”She asked him again. She liked how he reacted around her. She knows he regretted what he had said to her but she will not forgive him that easily.

“Um… , “ he scratched the back of his neck again and Freya looked at him with lust. It must be so good to have her hand around his neck, to feel his ruffled hair between her fingers, she thought. She shook her head to forget those lusty thoughts in her mind. Alex smiled at her.

“What? Did you say something?” She narrowed her eyes.

“ I asked if you have something planned for today. “ he repeated. Freya got up from her bed and put on her robe and went to her closet as she answered him.

“Ya, I am going to visit Ariana at the hospital. Anthony needs a rest.” Everytime she mentions Anthony's name, she feels Ella’s excitement in their bond. She didn't understand why and Ella never answered her when she asked her about it.

"Why do you ask?” She continued as she went out from her closet with a dress in her hand. He ruffled his hair again.

“It's nothing,” he mumbled.

“Oh ok” she passed by him on the way to her bathroom.

“Can I come with you?” He blurted. Freya turned her head and mumbled. “You would come anyway even if I say no.” And continued her way to the bathroom.

Alex sighed and went to Freya's living room to wait for her.So much has happened in the past few weeks, Alex recalled how worried he and Luca were when he got a mindlink from his aunt about Freya. Fredrick was with him at his house, he came there since he didn't show up after their conversation at the school's parking lot. He never told Fredrick what had happened but he had guessed that someone had already told him. Fredrick drove them to the pack's hospital that day since he was fighting with Luca for control. He almost ripped the doctors throat when they couldn't provide answers of what happened to his mate. His uncle, King Maxwell was forced to subdue them. He regretted what he had said to her the day before. His aunt had told him what had happened before they found Freya and her sister unconscious. It must be overwhelming for her to find out she's a witch and had a twin, and he was an asshole who only thought about what he felt, not considering a second of what she felt. Alex shook his head. It was still fresh in his mind, the pain in his chest and the helplessness he'd felt while watching her unmoving body lying on the hospital bed. He had promised to himself that by the time she woke up, he would do anything in order for her to forgive him. Now he was here, in her living room trying to be seen by her.

“This is your fault, you know!” Luca scolded. "I know Luca, I know.” He took a long breath.

“What's wrong bro?” Alex lifted his head and looked up to Fredrick and sighed.

“I don't know what to do? How to make it right for her.” He murmured as he averted his eyes to the floor. Fredrick slumped himself beside him and patted his shoulder.

“You know, you'll need a drink. Why don't you hang out with us tonight? You, me, Roland and Dustin. We will be busy in the coming months with all the training of young potential leaders and warriors so why don't we have fun now while we can?” Fredrick put forth.

“I don't know, maybe. What time and where?" He asked.

“I'll mindlink you” Fredrick said and got up as Freya came into view. He stared at Freya drooling over her. She looks amazing with her purple summer dress. It hugged her curves, her pale bare legs were visible, Alex gulped.

“Are you done scrutinizing my body?” Freya asked with a hint of satisfying look in her eyes. He heard Anthony chuckle.

They took his car and drove to the hospital. A doctor ran past them and Alex saw Freya's worried eyes. He took her hand and squeezed it gently. When they reached Ariana's room, Freya took back her hand as she ran to Ariana who was already sitting in the bed talking to the doctor. He already missed the warmth of Freya’s hand. Alex went to Anthony's side and tapped his shoulder. He could see the tears in Anthony's eyes, he understood how he felt right now. The doctor advised Ariana to stay one more night for observation. To give the sisters time alone, he and Anthony left the room.

What do you think of Alex change of heart? Why does Ella felt excited with the mention of Anthony? More surprises will come.... enjoy
