Bound To Twins

kiss her

Melissa POV

I woke the following morning to the sound of my mates arguing.

Theo was trying to convince Mason something which Mason was against.

I did not bother listening to them as I headed to the bathroom and took a quick shower.

Memories of what happened last night flooded my mind, making me smack my head.

I was supposed to be angry at the duo yet I ended up sleeping with Mason.

Blame the stupid mating bond that compelled me to act on impulse.

But why should I blame my desires on the mating bond?

After getting used to f*****g with my mates every night, I could not stop myself when Mason held me in his arms and the tingles spread all through my body.

I ended up behaving like a wanton

But do I give a damn? Of Course not. They are my mates and regardless of whether I am mad at them or it's the other way round, why should I torture myself when they can help?

With that resolution in mind, I quickly rinsed myself before leaving the bathroom.

After drying myself, I wore my blue jeans paired with a white T-shirt before making my way to the sitting room.

" Good morning?" Mason was the first to greet me with a smile on his face.

Without saying anything, I walked to the kitchen to retrieve my car keys from the bowl only to find it empty.

Great! Just great!

To keep me here, they took my car keys.

I walked back to the room. My mates were Looking straight into my face.

" Can someone give me my car keys?" I asked, looking at them.

Mason turned to look at Theo and back at me.

" Princess, we just want to talk to you." Mason started and I c****d my brows at him.

" Oh yeah? You want to talk to me? About what? Is there something you forgot to tell me? Ooops, it should be, is there anything you ever told me?" I asked with a snicker.

If they think that keeping my car keys will make me listen to them, then they are so mistaken.

" Melissa please," Theo pleaded. I could see the pain in his eyes but I was in more pain.

They deceived me with a straight face. They kept smiling at me, acting so caring and possessive yet they had a wife? A wife they told me nothing about?

Oh well, I am not that important in their eyes, otherwise how could they not tell me something so serious.

" Please what Theo? I honestly don't want to see you leave alone listening to your lies." I retorted without an ounce of emotion on my face.

I can't afford to be softhearted at this point, otherwise these men will never take me seriously.

They have to learn that trust and openness is the basis of any relationship.

" We just want to explain things so that you can stop misunderstanding." Mason spoke, making my blood boil.

Even when things have come to this, he wants to keep lying to me? What lies would be conjured in the name of explaining himself?

" Misunderstanding? What's there to misunderstand Mason? The fact that the two of you married a woman and still love her or the fact that you never found it fit to tell me about your marriage? You must be regretting everyday Why I happened to be your Mate. I know you wish that that wife of yours turned out to be your mate. Tell you what, you guys can go to her and become a happy family. Stay away from me or the next time I see you, I'll kill you. It doesn't matter whether you give me the car keys, I know my way to the city. Don't let me see you before my face again." Casting one last glance at them, I walked out of the house and started walking towards the main road.

The tears I had been holding back escaped my eyes and I let them fall.

I know that the words that I said back then were hurtful but I needed to get that pain off my chest.

It hurt me saying them but what hurt most was the look of hurt on their faces.

My mates' emotions overwhelmed me through the bond and Immediately blocked them.

I walked down the road crying silently thanking the goddess that I did not meet any warriors patrolling the area.

I had not walked for ten minutes when a speeding car stopped metres away from me making me halt in my steps.

" Hey girlfriend, care for a ride?" Tamia's sweet voice greeted me. She had a smile on her face and despite my stained face, I smiled back at her.

I walked to the front and opened the door before settling at the front passenger seat.

Tamia opened the compartment of her car and gave me a packet of wipes.

" Clean that snort off your face. It does not matter if things ain't right now, they will be in the future." She said in an attempt to comfort me.

" I'm not sure If things will ever be alright again," I replied, sniffling.

" Why is that? They are your mates Mel, regardless of what happened, that fact will never change." Tamia said but I did not share the same perspective with her.

" I am worried that they are only with me because I happen to be their mate but that's not what I want Tamia. I want to have a mate who will love me for who I am. Not a person who is forced to be with me because the moon goddess paired us."

The concept of mating isn't something I want to rely on to keep our relationship.

The reason I agreed to be with them was not be so of some f*****g mating bond.

After living with Mason, I started to develop feelings for him.

That is what I want from my mates; for them to love me and nothing more.

" Damn, you sound more like a human." Tamia commented.

" I have lived with them since I was born. Ofcourse I will share the same sentiments. I believe love is greater than any mating bond. That's why they never saw the need to tell me about their marriage, because they don't love me. They simply don't care."

" Honestly I think you are getting ahead of yourself. You don't know that for sure. I bet you did not wait to listen to their explanation. I know they have their reasons." Tamia commented but I shook my head.

" Don't try to defend them, Tamia. The truth is that I don't matter." I countered.

" Okay, I don't want to impose on you so why don't we head to the city. You don't have your mates but I will be there for you. You still owe me a kiss, Mel." Tamia said grinning, making me smile.

Yes, I made a deal with her last night. She owes me.

Mason POV

" What now?" I ask my twin who just shrugs his shoulders.

I was about to follow our mate out when he stopped me. Now that she is gone, what is he doing typing on his phone?

The words that Melissa said were hurtful, so hurtful that I could never say them but who can blame her?

We kept something so sensitive from her, she was bound to get hurt.

It was never my intention to hurt her in the first place. I had wanted to explain it to her but she would not even let me speak.

If this goes on, I'm afraid we might lose our mate completely.

" Nothing. We just wait." Theo spoke, his answer irking me.

" Wait? Wait for what? She is going away, what do you mean we Wait?" I growled.

I can't lose my mate. I don't think I can handle it if Melissa ever leaves us.

Here I am, anxious about the situation we are stuffed in yet Theo still remains composed like everything is fine.

" If you knew we could lose her, you would never have kept something as important as Bianca coming back to me." My brother retorted, making me even more mad.

" Don't point fingers at me for failing to tell you about Bianca's return. You are as guilty as I am. You never told her that we were married so where do you get the balls to blame me?" I am tired of hearing it from him that I am the reason Melissa is hurt.

If there's someone to be blamed, we are both guilty.

If he had acted like a man and opened up about our marriage to Bianca, we would not be here.

Theo sighed in defeat.

" I'm sorry,I am just frustrated about the whole thing. I am as worried as you are. I want to make things right between the three of us but now is not the right time. She is really mad at us and showing ourselves before her will only make her angry." Theo spoke and I found sense in his words.

If Melissa calms down, there's a possibility she would listen to us.

No matter what it takes, I will earn her forgiveness and swear to never keep things from her again.

" So what do you suggest?" In situations like this, I have to admit that Theo is more rational and can think properly compared to me.

If it was up to me, I would never have let Melissa go until she listened to what I had to say.

That would probably have angered her even more.

" We let her go. I have asked Tamia to accompany her to the city. She might be angry at us but we can't leave her all by herself. Tamia being there with her will assure us of her safety." Theo explained but something else clicked in my mind.

" What if they get together? She kissed that Tamia woman at the club. What if she gets seduced?" I asked with concern.

I could not forget the sight of our mate kissing a woman passionately last night.

" Don't be absurd. Melissa is straight and she would never fall for that woman. Besides, do you think Tamia is stupid to date our mate?" Theo asked me with a frown on his face.

" I'm just afraid, you can't blame me." I retorted.

Who can blame me if I feel insecure?

Our mate just threatened us to stay away from her and then went away with someone she kissed Just a night ago.

" I'm not worried about Tamia. I am more concerned with Melissa believing that we don't love and that we love Bianca instead." Theo spoke.

" I wonder where she got such an absurd idea from?" I wondered out loud.

" I went to see Bianca?" Theo said, making me want to punch the daylights off him but stopped at the last moment.

If he went to see that woman, he should have had a good reason to do so considering how much Theo hates that woman.

" And?"

" I asked her to stay away from our mate. The next time she comes near Melissa, I won't hesitate to snap her neck." Theo explained.

" And?" I could feel that he was keeping something else from me. He is my twin so I can tell when he is lying or perhaps concealing something from me.

" What do you mean?" Theo asked with raised brows.

" I know you best. There's more to what you just said." I said and Theo looked away.

" Apparently, she wants us to get back together. She thinks we still Love her and that's why we didn't tell Melissa about our Marriage." Theo spoke. I could feel the suppressed anger in his voice.

" What? That's absurd!" I cried.

Where on earth did that woman get that idea from?

Love her? After everything she did?
