My Twin Mates

Sudden Confrontation

Moving toward him cautiously, Tessa listened for any other intruder who might be in her home also but she came up empty. She concluded it was just him who had broken into her house. There was something different about him also, something she had noticed. The interval between his heartbeats were unusual, it was longer than usual for a werewolf. "What do you want?" She asked, standing guard so as not to be taken by surprise.

"I thought you've been meaning to see me?" Scar questioned, his mask hiding his smile.

"Not in my house. You have succeeded in hiding for so long, why show yourself now?"

"To show you that I'm not hiding. You all are just bad in finding us. I didn't think the legendary pack that rose from the ashes of the Black Lotus would be this incompetent....this....naive....naive to think there would ever be anything such as peace when the two clans are still living together..." He paused and sighed, making his way to the couch. He sat down, sitting out with his hand supporting his chin on his lap. "As long as you all are still trying to live peacefully with those wolves who aren't on our level, the farther peace would be from us all"

"So what? That's your belief? That's what your group is riding on? Trying to split the Direwolves from the crescent wolves?" She scoffed, folding her arms. "That mentality was what caused the centuries of blood feud between us...."

"And there will always be war, and blood feud if we all don't learn to live seperately. There's no such thing as togetherness and peace between both sides and there never will be. The sooner you accept that fact the better of you'll be. They would never see us as nothing but threats, a ticking time bomb waiting to explode and we will never see them as anything other than rivals too, rivals who had caused wars amongst us and hated our clan. You really want peace, then wake up to reality. The ideal world you and your Alpha is trying to build will never come to fruition as long as everyone has a mind of their own...as long as jealousy, pride, hate, worthlessness and God complex exists" He sighed and stood up.

Listening to all he said, Tessa found herself feeling a bit conflicted. She wanted to believe there's hope for them, hope for general peace, hope that their species could live together in peace. But, hearing all he had to say, she doubted for a second if all of that could actually happen or if he was right. She glanced over at him as he stood up, his glowing red eyes fixed on her. They've been glowing since he appeared. She felt something familiar about him, his presence.

"History hasn't been kind to us. We are supposed to be the stronger clan, but ironically we are the ones that gets taken out the most. You should learn from history if you don't want to take my word for it. History has been cruel to our kind because of hope, how we hope for peace and try to see the goodness of others. We were the victims of the first great Lycan War...neither were we the victors of the second great Lycan War....if things proceeds as they are now, there will be a third great Lycan War and this time, I can assure you we won't be the victim or loser this time"

"Why are you telling me this?" Tessa asked with furrowed brows.

"I don't know. Maybe because you're the right hand...maybe because you would listen better....or....maybe because I feel drawn to you" He replied and then put on the hood of his dark red robe.

Catching a glimpse of his hand as he put on the robe, his skin looked kind of pale to her. Without saying anything else, she watched as he gracefully made his way to the front door and left without saying another word. Tessa sighed, making her way to the couch, plumping down. She played their whole interaction in her head over and over again, not knowing how long she had wasted before deciding to go tell the Alpha about her encounter.

Dodging all the attacks being thrown at him, Rayne weaved swiftly through the punches and kicks coming his way. He hadn't thought he would be engaged in any fight that night. He kept staring directly into Kreed's glowing red eyes as though reading Kreed's next moves in them. Seeing how gracefully Rayne was avoiding his attacks without breaking a sweat, this pissed Kreed off more.

He brought out his claws and decided to attack Rayne with his all. He leapt off the floor, doing a spinning backflip, trying to land a kick with it. Rayne blocked the attack with both his arms and immediately caught the leg before Kreed could retract it. He held the leg tighter and used it to hurl Kreed toward Ace. Ace caught his friend, stopping him from hitting the ground. Kreed swiftly stood upright, feeling embarrassed and more pissed.

Rayne dusted his cloak, his face devoid of emotions. Seeing all of that made Kreed more pissed. To him it didn't seem like Rayne was taking the fight seriously. His sword was still sheathed and he hasn't even began using his wolf eyes or ability. He was the strongest in their school era and to be toyed with by Rayne was more than disrespecting to him. With that anger Kreed took a fighting stance, bringing out his fangs. He was about to attack again, but this time using his Direwolf eyes' ability.

Rayne realized this, sighed and then stood firm on the floor, all the while still having those dead eyes fixed on Kreed. Kreed growled, about to dash toward him, "Kreed!" The sound of his name stopped him dead on his track. He looked over at where the voice came from and saw Raven approaching hastily with a worried look. He looked over at where Rayne was standing but he was gone.

"Where is he?" He asked angrily.

"He's gone" Ace replied, staring up at the half moon.

"Damn it!" Kreed growled angrily, retracting his fangs and claws.

"That was Rayne wasn't it?" Raven inquired angrily, when she got to where they were.

"Yeah. We caught him trying to escape out of the house...he did escape, damn it!"

"I encountered him also last night"

"What does he want?" Ace asked

"I don't know but we have to tell the Alpha" Raven stated

"Yeah. If he's come here twice in a roll, risking the fact that he's under exile, then he must want something" Kreed added.

Alpha Damien began pacing back and front in his office after hearing all Tessa had to say. He hadn't expected the leader of the ghost group to come out and show himself on his own accord. And not only that, but also to announce their goal and objectives. "Scar huh?" He stopped and sighed. "Their objective is kinda similar to that of the Red Lotus. But if both groups go at it differently, it's gonna cause another war..." He sighed tiredly, leaning against his desk. "Who the hell lives through two wars in a lifetime. I'm not ready to be involve in another war, not after the last one"

"Same here. So what are we going to do about this?" Tessa questioned, sitting out on her seat just before they heard a knock on the door.

"Come on in!"

The three of them walked into the Alpha's office and was relieved to see both of them there. "What's going on Kreed?" Tessa questioned on seeing the troubled look on their faces.

"Hey mom"

"Evening Alpha....Miss Tessa" Ace nodded at them, looking around the office.

"Evening Alpha...Miss Tessa" Raven greeted also.

"What's going on?" Alpha Damien asked

"My brother, Rayne.." Raven started. "I had an encounter with him in our home last night"

"And we had another encounter with him some minutes ago. Ace and I found him leaving Raven's house. I confronted him but....." Kreed paused feeling a bit embarrassed and angry.

"He overpowered you and escaped" The Alpha read his face. "You don't have to be embarrassed Kreed. No one here would hold you for not restraining him. At your current level I don't think you could take Rayne on"

"He is that strong huh?" Ace asked

"Rayne would have been a huge asset to our pack if not for the situation of things. He's a prodigy wolf, a once in a generational kind of wolf with abnormal strength, speed, IQ and ability...."

"I see" Ace and Kreed said simultaneously.

"And aside from being a genius Direwolf, he's also an highbreed, part Direwolf and part Crescent wolf, which makes him stronger than us full blood Direwolf if he's to reach his full potential" The Alpha explained on, seeing the surprise look on their faces, including Raven his sister who seemed to be hearing that for the first time also.
