Fated to Twin Alphas

Chapter 11, Lying

I hadn’t even made it to the front doors of the pack house before the twins rushed me. They were clearly worried about where I had disappeared to.

“I thought we made it clear we don’t like your disappearing, Adrien!”

“Sorry, I just wanted to get some air and get out of your house. I heard what your parents said and it made me kinda sad so I just wanted a break from being here.”

Both of the twins just stared at me for a while. You could tell by their expressions that they had really been hoping I hadn’t heard that conversation. They both leaned in to hug me, and as soon as they got close to my body they stiffened up and backed off. I looked up and their eyes were black and they looked pissed. I was so confused, then it hit me… I probably smell like that guy I was dancing with.

“Where the f*ck have you been?”

“Who touched you? Why do you smell like another guy??”

I sighed. “I was at the bar, I probably smell like a lot of people. If it makes you feel better I can remove the scent.”

I lied… I’m not sure why I lied, why I didn’t tell them about Daxton. Maybe I knew it would just piss them off, or maybe I wanted somewhere to sneak off to, with someone they didn’t know anything about. Either way, I felt guilty as soon as the words left my mouth, but if i change the story now it’s gonna seem suspicious.

I waved my hands over my body, doing a little spell to remove any scents that could be on my body. After the smell was gone they seemed to ease up a bit, but not much. Though, it was enough for them to lean back in and actually hug me this time.

“I understand why you left, I’m sorry you had to hear that.” Dante said. It kinda caught me off guard, I wouldn’t have expected him to be so understanding. I feel like he was way more annoyed last time.

“I really wish you would tell us at least before you leave.” Dimitri sighed.

“I was gonna text you guys, but I don’t have your numbers saved in my phone.”

“I can fix that,” Dimitri offered. He slid his hand into my pocket and grabbed my phone to add his and Dante’s contacts.

Dante lifted me up and we all three were headed back inside the pack house.

I giggled, “you know I can walk, right?”

“That doesn’t mean you should have to. You’re my luna, you deserve the finest treatment in the world.”

My cheeks blushed so hard and my stomach was fluttering. I didn’t know Dante had such a way with words! I nuzzled his nose and kissed his cheeks. He grinned looking down at me and I felt nothing but love soaring through my body…

That was, until his f*cking mom ruined it.

“Baby, you know she can walk! Theres no need to strain your arms under her weight.”

Yeah, she really said that. As if his muscular arms were really struggling to hold up all of my 110 lbs. What a b*tch!

“I like holding her, mom. She barely weighs anything so I promise it doesn’t bother me at all.”

She just looked me over with a snooty look, and smiled at her sons before I was whisked away up the stairs away from that b*tch.

I sighed verbally. “I don’t get her problem with me. She doesn’t even know me.”

“She doesn’t like the way you dress.” Dimitri said simply like that wasn’t a super stupid reason not to like someone.

I just rolled my eyes and tried to think of literally anything else besides their mom.

“So when do you guys officially take over the alpha roles and have your parents move out?”

Dante smiled. Clearly he had a clue as to why I asked that. “In about a year, which leaves us plenty of time to get to know one another.”

“As you already know our parents are in and out a lot, buttttt we could always take a little vacation of our own.” Dimitri said.

“Oh wow, really?? That would be amazing!” I exclaimed. I had never been on any sort of vacation before, or even ever left the pack territory.

“For sure, we can go wherever you want! Theres lots of awesome places to travel to. Our parents took us on lots of trips over the summers as kids so we know lots of beautiful places to go.”

I smiled. It made me happy knowing they had a happy child hood. I wish I could say the same for myself. My child hood was about as bland and depressing as it gets.

The thoughts of childhood memories were weighing heavy on my mind, and out of no where I look up and I’m in a memory. Standing there in my parents dingy, dirty living room holding a report card I knew they wouldn’t care anything about… They were both sitting on the couch, clearly high and on the verge of passing out. I walked past them into the kitchen, and of course opened the fridge to find it was empty. Any food I bought for myself had to be something I could hide in my room, otherwise my parents would just steal it the second I left the house. I sighed, leaving the kitchen to go sit on my bed. If you could even call a mattress on the floor a bed. I snuggled the stuffed bear i used as a pillow and curled up under the only blanket I owned. Every day I came home from school would be about exactly like this. My life was lonely and sad. I cried myself to sleep most nights, but I always had to wake up the next day just to do it all over again…

“Adrien!? Are you okay?”

The twins sat me on their bed and were trying to get my attention. I was so zoned out in my thoughts that I didn’t even realize I had started crying…

“What’s wrong baby? Is it about what our mom said??”

The truth was that I didn’t give two sh*ts about what their mom thought of me. But, saying yes was a lot easier than explaining the emotional trip I just took down memory road.

“Yeah, kinda… It’s just frustrating. I’ve got a lot of emotions running through me lately.”

Deep down I started to feel really guilty. This was the second time I had lied to them today, and the lies felt pointless. But telling them the truth just felt so much harder, and I didn’t have it in me to be honest today. Explaining your feelings is a lot more time consuming and emotionally draining than you’d think.

I wiped my face. “I’m okay though. I don’t really wanna talk about it anymore, I’d much rather plan us a vacation!”
