Bound To Twins

pack house

It was evening when I decided to head out to the packhouse.

I was headed to hang out with Tamia. The last time we saw each other, I was angry and running from my mates. It was rude of me to treat her the way I did considering that she is my only friend here.

As I made my way to the packhouse, I could not shake off this feeling that someone was following me.

Turning around quickly, my eyes did catch sight of anything, not even a bird.

I knew that someone was definitely following me so I hastened in my steps.

After taking two more turns such that I could see the packhouse, I slowed down.

" Come out. Only cowards lurk in the darkness hiding." I called out.

Since the person made his presence known by not concealing their scent, that could only mean that they wanted me to know of their presence.

" Your senses are slow." A feminine voice sounded from behind making me turn around.

Standing before me was a lady, almost my age, only that she was voluptuous and her dark was midnight black.

" Who are you?" I don't know if her earlier comment was made to taunt me or mock me so I decided to use direct confrontation to deal with her.

Who knows what her intention is by secretly following me?

Looking at her, I can swear that I have never seen her around.

When I was staying at the packhouse, I rarely went out but I could tell a face I had seen once or a couple of times.

But the face looking straight into me was completely new. I can swear that I never saw her before.

" There's no rush. We have a lot of time to get to know each other." The lady said with a smirk.

Being a police officer and an agent, I can tell someone's intentions just by observing them and afew of the words leaving their mouth.

I took psychology as a stand alone field while I studied criminology at the academy.

Something about the lady before me spelt trouble. Her intentions of stopping me here are not in the least pure.

" You might have all your life but I don't have time to waste on idle people like you." I spat before walking away. Ofcourse, that was a pretence so that she could spill the beans already and tell me why she was stalking me.

" What's the hurry? I have a story I wanted to share with you." She said and I could feel the evilness in her words.

One thing is for sure, whatever the woman would be saying to me will not be something I want to hear.

Something in me told me to walk away and not entertain her but another part of me wanted me to stay and listen to what she has to say.

Going through all the trouble to stalk me, she must have been dying to talk to me.

" Story? And who told you that I want to hear some kindergarten story? Besides, what does your story have to do with me? We are practically strangers." I replied sharply.

If she thinks she can get to me so easily, then she is wrong.

I have always been good at playing with words and someone's mind to get what I want without too much effort.

" Oh dear, don't be so quick to judge that. What I want to say to you has everything to do with you. How about I tell you something about your mates." The woman said, successfully piquing my interest but I did not let it show on my face.

For all I know, she could be playing with my mind.

" What? Are you interested now?" The woman asked, making me chuckle.

" What's there you will tell me that my mates won't tell me?" I shot back.

I was dying inwardly to listen to this story about my mates.

I don't Know much about Theo and Mason and nobody at the pack was willing to tell me anything about them.

They also like keeping their lives private and although I don't say it out loud, it annoys me.

They had me investigated and know everything about me but they won't tell me anything about them.

" Little sweetheart is confident here huh? Then I guess they told you why they had a fallout before?" The Lady asked and by heart started beating erratically.

The last time I asked, Theo promised to tell me the whole story but never did.

Could they have told the lady before me and not trust me with their past?

Am I so untrustworthy in their eyes?

The thought alone was enough to make me swallow bitterness.

" From the look on your face, I assume nobody told you that huh?" The woman pressed and I could only purse my lips.

"'Turns out that your little mates don't trust you after all but who can blame them? You are a wanted criminal in the whole country. It's a matter of time before they capture you and throw you where you deserve.' The woman's words made my blood boil.

I have never felt offended by the dirt smeared on me but the words coming from this woman surprisingly made me want to puke my guts from anger.

" What the hell do you want from me?" Unable to control myself, I yelled at the woman before marching to her and gripping her throat, choking her.

What annoyed me the most was the victorious smile on her face.

Looking at her hateful face, I just wanted to squeeze the life out of her and throw her body to be feasted on my hyenas.

The lady did not try to fight me or even attempt to free herself.

The annoying smile on her face fuelled the desire to wipe it off her face with a fist but I controlled myself.

" Go ahead and kill me. Prove to them that you are nothing but a murderer. Let's see if your mates will be able to help you."
