The forbidden twins

Alpha Vincent

Alpha Vincent was ancient by werewolf standards at 70, and as such commanded a lot of respect from the community. More often then not wolfs we’re killed in war, by human hunting and even execution. Vincent had survived all of the above and accumulated himself the best worriers in the pack as his own personal guard. After surviving the attack from the blackthorn triplets at such a young age his name had become infamous far and wide, not only in the southern uk communities but north too and even abroad in some places.

“Sir please you cannot allow this” Mathias pleaded. “She’s my only child and I won’t see her handed to that pack of savages! Who knows what they will do to her!” “Enough Mathias! It is law! The moon goddess has decided upon this path and I will not be seen to stand in the way of sacred rights for the sake of a pissed off father!” Vincent snapped back at him in an almost monotone voice and without empathy. “But Alpha…” Mathias was cut off however but a now exhausted Vincent “I said enough! It is not for us to decide or question the will of the goddess, you know how the bond works it chooses us. I will not discuss this further! I expect them to arrive soon now the sun is up. Your welcome to stay for the meeting as a courtesy nothing more but you WILL remain quiet. I will summon you when they arrive. I would almost remind you that your daughter is now bonded and will also likely not appreciate you trying to stand on her way nor will the twins. I’m sure you can remember when you found your mate.” call

After Mathias left the room Alpha Vincent slumped into a chair with a sigh of relief. He was feeling his age, feeling his wolf weakening and in need of rest. Keeping up appearances was exhausting. Vincent had a son an heir to the pack but he was not of age for his mate yet let alone to be handed a pack of argumentative wolfs. One more year and maybe then Vincent could hand over the reins, one more year to mold his son. Normally packs are handed down after the death of an Alpha or a successful challenges like the one the triplets attempted all those years ago. However, it was possible for a son to challenge and take the right for himself. Vincent’s plan had been to train his son let him challenge and stand down peacefully with no need for a fight. Unfortunately Alpha Vincent’s son Thomas was far from the Alpha the pack needed nor the son Vincent wanted. Thomas was self entitled, reckless and arrogant. He knew he would be Alpha one day and felt that meant he was above pack rules and morales. Thomas bullied those weaker then him and turnt a blind eye to those in need. Vincent needed to mold him into a stern yet fair leader that would be a voice for those that needed it as well as able to bring down the force of the law in a fair manner too.

“Thomas!” Vincent’s voice bellowed through the house shaking the paintings on the wall of his study. 15mins later in sauntered a half asleep and what appeared to be a hung over Thomas. His jogging bottoms hung low on his hips revealing the band of his underwear, bare foot and topless. Yawning Thomas fell into an armchair and with his elbow on the arm of the chair hung his head in his hand on one side. “What? I was asleep it’s like what, 7am” “Watch your tone boy!” Vincent growled through gritted teeth. “Sit up straight and show some respect to your Alpha. Remember I am your alfa before your father” Sighing Thomas straightened him self and glared at his father. “I’m listening” mumbled. “It won’t be long before those twins are back with Mathias’s daughter, there will be a meeting and I expect you present and presentable. It’s high time you sat in on these meetings and learnt how to be an Alpha properly. There are ways things are done and rules that must be followed you have a year until your 18 and you will pull your socks up so help me!” “I’m not wearing socks” Thomas grinned. “IM SERIOUS BOY! Your time for joking and larking about is about done. You will soon have a mate to protect and a pack to run, a pack who’s respect is earned not given freely Alpha or not. If you expect to remain Alpha without challenge or even war you need to learn to behave like one. Now go! Get your self ready and be back here at 7.30 or so help me I will punish you.” Thomas glared at his father and slumped from the room.

“Darling, your too hard on him.” The soft tones of Luna Paris trickled into the room as she entered through the opposite door to which Thomas had slammed his way out of. “No my dear your too soft” Vincent replied. “Your too soft on both of them, they are the children of the Alpha and they are no more then spoilt brats. You have preened Caroline to enjoy all the finer things and how do you think she will cope if her mate turns out to be humble?” “Oh darling you worry too much I came from humble beginnings remember I can help her and still send her care packages, she won’t go without.” She replied softly placing herself on Vincent’s right side leaning her head on his shoulder almost cooing at him. “SEE! You came from humble beginnings yes, so you should know better. What if her mate doesn’t allow you to send your care packages? What if he’s from another pack and takes her far from here we’re you can’t baby her, then what? As for Thomas you refuse to see sense and refuse to enforce boundary’s he’s 17 and drinks like a fish. Why must you always undermine me with them?” “Sweetheart” Luna Paris cooed softly, they may be Alpha blood but their our children why on earth you feel the need to treat them like subjects and not your kin I will never understand.” “Don’t sweetheart me! You know I can’t stay mad at you do not take advance of me when I’m trying to have a serious conversation” Vincent yawned staring at the clock. “I have important matters to attend to soon we need to discuss this properly but first please see sense and ensure Thomas is dressed and ready to attend, from now on he will shadow me and beta and learn how to be Alpha.cksweetheart” Paris replied as she rose and grinned at Vincent in her usual menacing yet playful voice and she left through the same door as Thomas heading to his room.

As strong and authoritative as Vincent was the bond between him and Paris still allowed the cracks to show, the cracks to his soft side, his loving side. They say behind closed doors no one knows what goes on, and that was definitely the case here. Paris and Vincent are the perfect example of opposites attract when Paris was elevated to her Luna status Vincent lavished her with gifts, gifts that she wasn’t used to, attention She wasn’t used to. Although shy at first luna Paris soon lapped this up and started to expect this lavish lifestyle to continue the same lifestyle she expected for her children. Paris would expect fine jewelry, designer clothes, and only the best food for herself and her children. Vincent on the other hand had always had his wealth and status and didn’t feel the need to flounce it in the same ways although always dress smartly, it was never outlandish. Vincent was the kind of wolf that would endeavour to share with others even as a child, he would insist any leftovers from his family’s meals would be shared with those less fortunate than themselves. Vincent didn’t want to be grudge, his beloved mate, anything in the world and blamed himself for that snowballing into the way, Luna Paris treated the children. Vincent blamed himself for the spoilt ways lack of respect and sense of entitlement, but to go against his Luna would break his heart and so these conversations were always had in private. He would never deny her in front of the pack.

Vincent began to pace the room The Sun had risen, and its warmth was slowly filling the room, although the evenings had grown cold, the Sun still had some warmth to give. He stopped in front of the window, basking in its light, taking in that warmth and trying to calm himself, he could not let the pack see his nerves. Having any black thorns on the land made him nervous and these were the future alphas of blackthorn, and the fact that Thomas would be attending this meeting did not help at all. He needed Thomas to learn how these things were done, and how to carry himself and be respectful yet show his authority without his arrogance. Would he follow Vincent’s lead and drop his arrogance and entitlement or would it get the better of him, it wouldn’t be long now and Vincent would know how much more work he would need to do to ensure his packs new alpha when the time came would be exactly what they needed.
