My Twin Mates

Emotions

Coughing and adjusting on her seat, Diamond was freaking out in her mind. Hearing her father drop that on her all of a sudden was unexpected and had her on the edge of her seat. She felt like the food she swallowed went down the wrong pipe as she kept on coughing nervously. "Are you okay, sweetie?" Freya asked, staring from her daughter to her husband with a questioning look.

"Drink some water honey" Alpha Damien urged her.

Diamond picked up her glass and began gulping down the water. When she was done, she dropped the glass, her face tilted down. She was too embarrassed to look up at her parents. She became quiet for a few seconds, thinking about the question. "Is is that obvious?" She finally asked quietly and shyly, still unable to look up at them.

"Well...to me it is" Her father replied. "I have known since you guys were younger. I see how you look at him whenever you're around him. I've been waiting to see when you're finally gonna tell him. Why haven't you?"

"Yeah well...he doesn't like me.....not like that anyway" She replied with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"You don't know that"

"Yeah I do..." Diamond finally looked up at him and he could see the heartbreak in her eyes with little tears clouding them. "I think he likes Raven and she ended up being his mate anyway"

"But I thought you said they've rejected each other, plus Raven has a mate who she's accepted already, Kreed. As far as I'm concerned, Kieran is very single right now" He explained

"He's been acting strange recently and I think it's about that...his feelings for Raven that was rejected"

"Not until he tells you that himself, don't conclude. And not until you confess your feelings to him and he doesn't reciprocate them, don't conclude either" He argued.

"Why do you care anyway?"

"Because you're my daughter and I care about your feelings" He smiled softly at her.

Diamond fell quiet after saying that. She looked over at her mother who had been quiet the whole time. Her mother smiled warmly at her and took her left hand in hers. "Do whatever makes you happy honey" Freya finally broke her silence.

"Thanks" She sighed.

Stretching his bones, Kieran groaned and then lay back on his back where they sat at the roof of the clocktower, their legs dangling down from the side of the roof. "The sky is beautiful tonight" Kieran commented, staring at the stars.

"Oh come on. Don't start any romantic s**t when it's just us two here" Killian complained. He was in the same position as Kieran, next to him and staring at the sky too.

"i***t" Kieran scoffed

They both became quiet, saying nothing but staring at the sky. Killian glanced at his bestfriend and saw that he had drifted into his thoughts again. He decided to ask the question that he's been meaning to ask. "So what's up with you?"

"Nothing" He shrugged

"You haven't been acting like that for a while now"

"What do you mean?"

"You've been acting distant, worried, depressed and all...don't deny it, you know I know you too well not to know. So what's been going on? Is it Raven and the mate stuff?"

"Maybe" Kieran finally admitted

"What? You don't like her rejecting you?"

"I don't know"

"I thought that was what you wanted?"

"Yeah it was"

"You know...maybe things would have been different if you had just told your brother the truth from the beginning. Maybe things would have been the other way around now" Killian pointed out

"No. That would have complicated things. The truth always complicates things"

"Things seem complicated right now to me"

"Yeah it is...but it will become worse if any form of the truth comes out" Kieran replied with a sigh, thinking about how deep things were getting.

"I still think the truth would have been better"

"If you love the truth so much then why don't you take your own advice and tell the truth" Kieran propped himself up with his arm, staring down Killian with a knowing look.

"What truth?" Killian cleared his throat, knowing where he was driving to already.

"Diamond. Why don't you go tell her how you feel about her? You've been crushing from afar since our first year in school"

"Well...it's not entirely the same as yours" He looked away

"Yeah, yours is easier. I still don't understand why you haven't told her. Are you scared cause she's stronger than you and would pound you if you hurt her?"

"No, stupid"

Kieran chuckled, standing up to his feet on the edge of the roof. "I tell you what....if you can man up and tell her how you feel, then I'll man up and tell the truth" He flashed him a smile and then jumped down from the roof of the clocktower.

"So are you going to cut your hair down to it's usual buzz cut or this is your new look?" Kreed questioned, walking down beside his bestfriend on the side walk as they headed for Raven's house.

"Nah, I think I'm digging this actually. So I'll just leave it like this" Ace replied with a smile, running his hand over his short dark hair.

"It's good"

"So...now that things are back to normal, how are you enjoying having a mate?"

"Actually it's kinda same as before. No major changes. Just that now, we have a deeper connection and I love her more. She's everything to me Ace. I would go crazy if I lose her" He explained with passion in his eyes.

"I can tell" Ace smiled softly. "I wish I had that" He added and his smile immediately faded.

"Maybe you would have if you don't keep to yourself that much"

"I can't help who I am" He shrugged

"Yeah well, you will find one either way. There are plenty of shewolves in school who would happily be with you" Kreed assured him.

"Maybe...but I don't have the luxury for romance right now. I have better things to focus on"

"Like what?" Kreed questioned with furrowed brows just before his eyes fell on Raven's cracked front door as they got to the house. "Someone is here" He announced, slowing down his steps and being on alert.

"Yeah" Ace whispered back.

They approached the front door slowly and cautiously, looking around the house and trying to listen for any heartbeat or sound. He knew no one was supposed to be in because Raven was on her way back and was supposed to come meet them at home and Isabel wasn't at home either and wouldn't be returning for the night.

Both of them glanced at each other. They couldn't pick any sound or scent from inside the house. Kreed was about to reach for the doorknob when the door flung open and someone in a cloak stepped out, standing in front of them. He had the hood of the cloak on, covering his head and hiding his face. "Who are you?" Kreed questioned, wondering how they were unable to pick up his scent.

The intruder remained quiet, his face not visible. Without uttering a word, he moved swiftly past them, appearing behind them. They turned their heads swiftly, shocked at how speedily he moved past them. Before he could leave, Kreed quickly reached out and caught his hood, drawing it down. He glanced back at them and they saw his face and the head of his sword sticking out from inside the cloak. "Rayne!" Kreed called with widened eyes.

Rayne hit his hand off his hood, hoping to leave but Kreed immediately attacked him, throwing a kick at him. Rayne blocked the kick with his arm and looked up at Kreed whose eyes were already glowing red. Ace was about to come assist him but Kreed gestured for him to stay back. "Stay back, I got this"

Seeing as he wasn't going to let him leave, Rayne turned to face him, deciding to engage him in the fight.

'Tessa wrapped her arms around his neck as they continued their passionate, burning kiss. Kieran picked her up and carried her to the bed. Settling down on it, they finally broke the kiss and then began staring into each other's eyes and for the first time they could clearly see the passion and desire they felt in each other's eyes. "I want you Kieran" She voiced out softly, taking off her jacket whilst maintaining eye contact with him.

Kieran said nothing but proceeded to take off his t-shirt. He was overcome with the desire to have her that it felt as though he was in autopilot and couldn’t stop himself. He looked down at her after taking his shirt off to see her sitting there in just her bra and jean. The sight of her bare skin aroused him. He reached for her jean, unbuttoned it and slowly took them off her. She returned the gesture and took his off.

She took his hand and pulled him to her. They climbed on the bed fully and Tessa wasted no time to pull him into her. She immediately wrapped her legs around his waist tightly as though he was going to disappear. He leaned down and locked lips with her while his hand worked its way up from her thighs to her breast, cupping them through the bra. Feeling his touch through the lacey fabric of the bra, Tessa moaned into his mouth. She could feel herself getting very aroused that her scent was beginning to fill the room. She was getting used to his touch on her breast when he withdrew his hand. She opened her mouth to urge him on but all that came out from her mouth was air as she gasped on feeling his fingers sneak their way into her now soaked panties.

She moaned loudly when she felt his fingers grazing and parting her lips and two of his fingers sneaking inside her. She bit her lips stifling her moans as she grabbed the sheets beside her tightly. His lips began moving, kissing all over her face and stopping on her ear. He began working his fingers inside her while also biting and nibbling her. His free hand found his way under her bra and began pinching and softly tugging her now rock hard n****e. Tessa couldn’t hold the moan in any longer as she couldn’t focus with him working all her zones.

"I want you Kieran, I want you now" She pleaded amidst loud moans whilst reaching down for his briefs and pushing it down his legs.

Kieran obliged, wanting to give her whatever she needed. He took off his brief fully and then helped her get fully undressed. His eyes immediately got fixed on her bare body. He was awestruck at how perfect her body was. Seeing the look he had, Tessa became nervous. "What?" She asked a bit shy and embarrassed.

"You're perfect. I want you so much" He said for the first time with a sincere and desiring look in his eyes.

Tessa smiled softly with an inviting look. "I am yours" She whispered, eyeing his fully erected member. She was amazed at the size of it. it wasn’t what she was used to but it made it all the more appealing to her. She reached for it and wrapped both her hands around it, looking up at him with eyes showing both innocence and desire. "I want you inside of me. I want to be one with you and feel all you feel" She whispered as she guided him slowly to her entrance.

He leaned closer to her, maintaining eye contact all through. "Are you sure?" He asked. She nodded with an approving smile. Kieran kissed her gently and softly as he slowly forced himself inside her. She gasped, letting out a quiet moan when she felt him fully inside of her'

Tessa broke out of her thought, coming back to reality and realizing she was still standing there in the empty room, staring at her dead mate's mask. That quick trip down memory lane did something to her. She reached out and touched below her right eye with her finger and realized there was tears. She missed her mate so much and no matter how long it has been since he passed away, it still felt as though it was just yesterday.

She reached out and touched his mask. "I miss you Kieran" She muttered and then glanced over at the other mask next to his. "And you too Silas. Miss you big brother" She added.

Wiping the tears off her cheeks, she proceeded to leave the room. She came out and shut the door, heaving a deep sigh just before she heard clattering coming from the kitchen. She looked over at the direction with furrowed brows. She knew her sons were not home yet. "Kieran!.....Kreed!" She called but no answer.

Tessa proceeded toward the kitchen, making her way there cautiously. She soon came to the kitchen and saw it was empty. There was no one there. She looked over at the counter and saw a mug out of place and a knife was missing. She moved over there and kept the mug properly just before she felt a familiar and shocking presence, an impossible scent and feeling. "Kieran?" She muttered with a questioning look and tone.

She turned swiftly, just in time to catch the knife that was heading toward her face. She caught it and realized it was the missing knife. She looked over at where it came from and saw someone standing there with glowing red eyes. "I knew that couldn't get you" The slightly deep voice said as he stepped forward into the light.

Tessa stared at the man in front of her. He had a white hair with a clothe mask covering from his nose down and a scar across his left eye. He wore a dark red robe with a white outline down the middle zip area. The hood of the robe was down. "Who are you?" She asked with squinted eyes.

"Someone you've been meaning to see.....the leader of Kemuri. My name is Scar" He replied, staring directly at her with his still glowing red eyes.
