The Queen's Twin Alpha Sons

FIVE

Dinner with the Twins

We embarked on our journey to the restaurant, slipping into the comfortable confines of the car. As we glided through the streets, a serene silence enveloped us, with only the faint hum of the engine breaking the tranquility. Seated between the twins, their decision to arrange a professional driver allowed them both to sit with me in the back seat on our way to this special occasion. The drive seemed to pass in an instant, bringing us face to face with our destination. Stepping out of the vehicle, Delcan extended his hand, his gentlemanly demeanor evident as he assisted me. The sight before me revealed the sought-after Ivy Johnson, a culinary haven rumored to surpass all others in the state, an uncharted gastronomical voyage eagerly awaited. It is run by two very well known werewolves Harleen Johnson and Ivy Robin.

At the entrance, a seemingly endless queue snaked its way towards the door, where a vigilant guard diligently allowed people to enter as others trickled out. Undeterred by the crowd, the confident twins approached the gatekeeper, promptly providing their name. Retrieving a compact booklet from his pocket, the guard meticulously flipped through its pages, scanning for their identity. Finally, a delighted smile graced his face as he located their name, prompting him to address the twins. "Head right on in, Alphas," he exclaimed, gesturing towards the restaurant. With a surge of excitement, we bypassed the extensive line and made our way directly into the welcoming embrace of the establishment's hostess.

There was a young woman standing at a podium. “Hello Alphas! Welcome to Ivy Johnson. Is it just going to be the two of you tonight?” I instantly got pissed because I was just standing there right alongside them and she was acting as if she didn't even see me. But the twins were even more pissed at this lady. They immediately asked for a new host and the owners came rushing over to us.

“Alphas good to see the both of you again.” Ivy stated. “What is going on here?” Harleen asked. The twins explained what happened and how their host never even greeted me. They explained that they were not happy that their Luna was disregarded and that they wouldn't stand for it. Instantly they asked the host to leave and brought a new host to the podium. Then to make things right they told us that tonight's dinner was on the house.

The owners acknowledged me as their Luna. It felt weird to be given that title but also felt really good to be someone of importance to people like them. Something that I have never experienced before. They brought us over to a private VIP lounge where we could eat in peace. I thought it was a bit much but the boys made it known that they wanted to be alone with me.

Not long after we were seated did our waitress walk in and greeted us. “Hello Alphas and Luna. My name is Heather and I am going to be your waitress for tonight. Can I start you guys out with some drinks?” Delcan was the first one to speak up. “Yes I will have a vodka and cranberry please.” She quickly jotted it down before Dalton spoke. “I will have a Jack and coke please and thank you.” Now it was my turn. I really don't drink at all.. I mean I did that night of the party but that was the first time I have done anything like that. However tonight seemed like a good night to have at least one drink. I thought about it not knowing what to choose. I didn't like cranberry juice even as a kid. “I think I am going to do the same. A jack and coke please.”

Heather smiled. “Alright! Let me grab your drinks and I will be right back.” I just sat there between the twins. Each of them with one hand on each of my legs. The sparks were shooting throughout my body. It was making looking at the menu really difficult. The twins however didn't have an issue with looking at theirs. “What are you guys going to order?” I questioned in hopes they would move their hands so that I could look and find something I want. “I think I am going to get the steak, pan fried potatoes and broccoli with the house salad.” Delcan took his hand off my leg pointing to the menu where this option was. I looked at it and back at him and smiled.

“I on the other hand am going to get the salmon with the wild rice and spinach with the house soup.” Dalton did the same thing that Delcan did. I looked at where he pointed to the menu as well and then back at him and smiled. Both of their options sounded good. I quickly looked over the menu again and made my decision before they put their hands back. “Well I think I am going to have the steak, with french fries, spinach and the house salad.” Delcan then took all 3 menus and put them at the end of the table.

The twins linked each other not knowing that I could hear them talking. Even though we weren't fully mated we still had many connections. The only reason I knew about these connections was because of all the research I did when I was younger about mates. They were excitedly talking about how I chose something from each of their plates to make up my own plate of food. It was so cute to see them acting this way. I accidentally chuckled out loud. “What is so funny?” Delcan asked, raising his eyebrows. “Oh nothing.” I answered, realizing that they really had no clue that I could hear them linking eachother. I decided to keep that my little secret for right now. Who knows what else I might hear.

“Do you want to get an appetizer while we wait for our food?” Dalton asked and an appetizer really sounded good right about now. “Yeah I think that would be perfect. However this time I want the two of you to pick it out. I am afraid that my stomach might get the best of me. Plus the two of you have eaten here before so I trust your decision. “ I responded. They both looked at the menu again and agreed that the BBQ egg rolls would be the perfect starter. Boy did that sound so good. “I hope they are as good as they sound.” I stated. “They are and so much more! I promise” Delcan spoke. I just smiled and nodded.

Heather finally came back with our drinks. “When you get a chance, can I also have a sprite with no ice and a glass of water with a lemon wedge?” I asked her. She happily agreed and wrote it down on her notepad. “Are you guys ready to put your orders in or do you need more time?” She enquired. “No thank you, we are ready…” Delcan replied.

Once our server took our complete order, which included our mouthwatering appetizer, she swiftly made her way back to the bar to gather my other refreshing drinks and submit our orders to the kitchen. With a warm smile, she returned to our table, holding my thirst-quenching beverages, and with genuine care, she inquired, "Is there anything else I can get for you all right now?" Expressing my gratitude, I thanked her warmly and assured her that our current requests had been fulfilled. With grace and professionalism, she gracefully attended to her other patrons. Leaving us to have a bit of time to ourselves while we waited for our food.

We weren't waiting long before our appetizer came out. Delcan put a BBQ egg roll on my plate. I looked at it for a moment. It really did look just like an egg roll that you get with your Chinese food order. However, the smell was even more inviting. I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into it. But I didn't want to look like a savage sitting here with the twins. So instead I took my fork and knife and cut into it. The outside was very crunchy with a softer inside. The meat was cooked to perfection. I didn't even need the knife to cut the meat. The fork would have done just fine. Heather brought out this thai chili sauce that went along with the egg rolls. When I dipped my first bite into the sauce I made sure to only use a little bit.

Much to my surprise when that bit of food hit my taste buds the flavors exploded and danced all over my mouth. It was something I have never tasted before, but at the same time, couldn't wait to get the next bit into my mouth. “Wow, you boys sure did pick out the best appetizer ever! This is so delicious!” I announced. This time the boys chuckled. “Did I say something wrong?” I asked, feeling a little self conscious. “No love, we just think that it is funny you are saying the same things we said when we tried it for the first time.” I started to chuckle too.
