The forbidden twins

That smell

“Where have you been?” Scowled father. I glared at the floor fiddling with my fingers in silence. Pissing him off was never a fun pass-time. “ jynx, I asked you a question!!” He hissed through gritted teeth, showing his anger and trying not to draw attention. “The packs have all arrived and you were no where to be found” father continued his lecture about the one night to show my family’s honour, to prove our worth and morals to alpha and show I was in fact a woman now not simply the lone Tom boy playmate to the other pups always a mess, covered in dirt and being up in front of beta for supposedly leading the others astray.

Now at 18 I was no longer a pup. There was no transition from pup to wolf, child to adult, no in-between, for that I was jealous of the humans in the town. We’re born with our wolves but pups can’t shift into their wolf forms until 16 when their bones have fully developed. This is when their sense of smell and other minor abilities start to to really develop, a lot like puberty for humans. However wolf females don’t have periods like humans they have seasons and come into heat twice a year. The first heat is when they find their mate for the first time. It’s said to be completely over whelming and uncontrollable for most she wolves. The wolfs instinct takes over and they loose all control of their bodies. That lack of control was not something I realised the idea of.

“I went for a walk father” I muttered quietly, “ I’m sorry”. “Well get in there and show your face, prove your worth as a full fledged pack member rather then hiding like a pup!” He hissed again, red in the face now. “My days of clearing up your messes and making excuses for you are done and it’s about time you learnt to take some responsibility for your life”. Father was more strict then mother. He was very proud and honourable and determined his only child would uphold the honour he fought for. When mothers labour started earlier then expected she was in her wolf form and the shift back had damaged her womb. She needed an emergency c-section which resulted in a hysterectomy and therefor meant no more pups and no more chances to produce a male heir my father could clone to be like him.

Father was a guard for the alpha which made him head of the household guards. This role was considered too high for such a low born wolf and as such he intended to prove he was worthy of the role. The role has fallen upon him during the war with blackthorn pack. There triplet alphas had challenged Oak packs single alpha in a bid to merge the packs and have control of more members. This kinda of a challenge was thought to be the end of Oak pack, 3 against 1 isn’t great odds and usually meant a fight to the death. Blackthorn was less then honourable, the night before the challenge the triplet alphas had snuck into the pa k house with the intention of catching Oaks alpha off guard, Alpha Vincent. However my father had been awake and heard the triplet coming, swimming across the lake. My father had developed his hearing abilities at 20 stronger then most wolfs, able to hear twice as aft and twice the noise of other wolfs. Father had keep this quiet as he feared being used by Alpha Vincent as a spy.

Hearing the triplets my father managed to raise the alarm and as the challenge was not until the following evening the Oak pack guards were able to intervene. With the help of father whom at that point was accidentally in the thick of it 20 wolfs descended on the triplets and killed them all and saving Alpha Vincent. This meant the challenge was no longer needed and the Blackthorn pack Alpha handed to the triplets only heir, Alpha Black. As a reward father for sounding the alarm and staying to fight father was given the role of Alpha Vincent’s personal guard and this the head of the house hold guard.

The roles within the pack were not handed down except the alpha and so fathers thought was to prove our worth and hopefully I would place in a high role too gaining our family more respect. Even though my fathers Bravery and status commanded respect that respect did not continue to mother and I and no greater wages were involved then the basics as being Alphas personal guard was considered payment enough.

I slowly moved past him towards the main rooms of the house were the guests were gathered. Pink and silver balloons tied to every nook and cranny possible. Glitter plastered on every surface and a horrible smell of lavender emanating from the candles on the table. I hated lavender, pink and generally anything girly and Caroline knew it so this was likely her idea. She has always teased me about being such a Tom boy. She called me ugly and boyish and liked to remind me how much her Gucci dresses cost and how many boys chased after her at school. She was a prick tease and everyone knew it, even though s****l relationships were illegal for female wolfs before marked nothing stopped her giving the occasional hand job behind the bike sheds and denying all knowledge.

I quietly entered one of the huge lounges keeping to the back of the room. The house keepers had rearranged the furniture (likely with jaspers help) to the edges of the room creating a large open space in the centre for dancing were low and behold Caroline was stood in her pink chiffon dress cut as low at the top as possible in a desperate bid to show some cleavage and entice some attention from the male wolves. She loves all the fuss and flirting but being basically flat chested was clutching at straws in that very obvious push up bra. The desperation seeped from her as she forced laughs and lent into the wolves trying to force them to look at her non existent cleavage however i sniggered to myself in the knowledge she was holding their attention as they knew she was easy and they wanted their hand jobs. I decided to use her distraction to find a quiet corner to sit in when it me.

There was an intense woody yet sweet smell hitting my nostrils, I inhaled deeply and it made me dizzy. I felt the heat rising in my face like it were on fire, a sudden throbbing between my thighs I’d never felt before, I was sweating and dizzy, I needed air. “Jynx” mother had appeared from no where. “Your father is furious what were you thinking not being here to greet your guests?” She said in a hushed and concerned tone. “You know as well as I do there not specifically MY guests” I snapped back, louder then I meant to drawing enquiring looks from nearby guests. That smell was clouding my senses I couldn’t think straight. “Jynx, I know your upset but you don’t need to take that tone with me, I’m on your side…” mother continued to speak but I didn’t hear the words. My head was spinning, or was it the room, I thought I meant faint at any moment and make the spectacle of myself I was trying to avoid. “I’m sorry” I muttered, “I don’t feel well, I need air I’ll be right back and you can parade me around until fathers satisfied” I spat it out in a horrible tone my mother didn’t deserve and before she could say a word I stood and left.

The cold air hits me as I burst from the kitchen door back out on that Grey wooden deck. My face now tingling, my throat dry, what was wrong with me? Was I coming down with something? Was it a panic attack? Wolves so rarely became I’ll, it had to be serious. I caught that scent again, stronger now then before, it was closer, it was something outside that had previously been in the house.

I hunted for the source like hunting my prey. Sniffing the air in every direction and listening intently like when I listen for the rabbit to rustle a leaf and give away its location, only this time I was in human form none of my auburn fur in sight. I didn’t need my wolf form, the scent was so strong I couldn’t believe none of the other guests had come to investigate it.

I could hear panting, heavy breathing coming from the edge of the woods near to the boat house. Some one was there and they had been running. Why would anyone be running about in the woods during an 18th party? Then I heard it, a stick snapped clearly trodden on by a human foot or at least a wolf in human form. It was large and heavy and I didn’t recognise it, maybe there were from another pack and looking for the source of the smell as well, it was over whelming I had to know what it was. Yes, that was surely it why else would be anyone be out here. I slipped my heels back off and started towards to woods, the damp grass between my toes making my feet wet, the scent got stronger the closer I got. No noise though now, complete silence, no twigs, no panting, in-fact not even an animal scurrying about I thought it was probably my presence scaring them away as I was a mature wolf now and my own scent probably scared them. I started to run.

Wham! I ran straight into someone, a large wolf I didn’t no. He was tall, taller then Jasper so around 6,5, with broad shoulders and thick black hair, his eyes were black as well and his tanned skin almost shone from sweat in the shards of moon light penetrating the canopy.

“Sorry” I mumbled. “That’s ok, are you from the oak pack? My names jet.” He replied quiet cheerfully but as I opened my mouth to speak that scent hit my tongue and my mouth watered. It was him! The scent was him! As I realised this a second figure appeared from behind him coming from deeper in the woods he looked the same and out of breathe from running but this one had no shirt making the scent stronger, has he been running or has he just shifted back to human form? His muscles shone in the dappled moonlight he had been sweating, as he got closer I could see they were twins, identical twins and I gasped. He walked towards me quickening his pace pushing past jet at what seamed like lightning speed. I had no time to react, no time to acknowledge his movements. The smell was dulling senses and I could feel my wolf bubbling under the surface. She was growling and desperately wanted to take control.

With no warning he grabbed my throat lifting me off my feet turnt me and pushed my front against a huge tree, the trunk so round I could not have fit my arms around. It had scratchy bark that snagged at my mums dress, against my face and arms. I was mad I never owned anything nice and my mums dress was all I had if he ruined it…his grip had shifted to my waist keeping me firmly in place whilst he sniffed deeply at my neck. “Jed, go easy I don’t think she knows” said jet gently to his brother. “She looks young” he continued. I couldn’t speak, I was sweating My heart pounding and the throbbing between my legs was bounding now. Then it dawned on me, that smell, that irresistible smell that has lured me into the woods, the guys I’d never seen before, the throbbing, I WAS IN HEAT! I’d found my mate or was it mates as they both smelled the same. Omg my mate or mates could be alphas! I was so over whelmed my face tingling again, my head felt like a helium ballon and that was that. I collapsed to the floor out cold.
