The Forgotten Twin

Past Telling

Liv

I was shock by his words, how can he ask me that. We just had one date. How can I move in with him. My parents would never understand, little long accept.

"Travis, I can't just leave everything behind and be a house mate. I have a life here." He grabs my hand and caress it. Knowing his touch will ease me down.

"I know it may seem a lot to ask of you. And I don't want to tell you what you can and can't do." His thumb did a little circle and my heart jump a 360. "You can still attend school and always see your parents and sister."

"And my work?" I asked with a raising eyebrows.

"Well, I honesty don't want you to work at all. But if it's easier for you to keep for now. That's fine of course." God was he going to be possessive over everything? "But at some point, you won't need to work anymore. I will take care of you." I sense that he means what he says. That he was trying to reason with the bond.

"I only work to help my parents with any bills. And with me never thinking of this ever happening. I was saving to travel with a friend next year." Travis scent intensified.

"I can help them if that's okay with you. Umm was this with Connie you were planning to travel with?" I shook my head, and explain quick to him.

"No a different friend. She's not from here. We talk here and there. But we both planned to travel to explore our magic more. She has some connects because of her family." Travis nods with a low responds like he understood. He sigh a little, telling me there was more.

"Travis, I need to talk to my parents about this. And about all of this and me." He moved his grip to my wrist, making me wanting him to keep going. I licked my lips, feeling heat run through me.

"I can give you five days to work stuff out."

I nod and just agree. "Okay."

Travis kiss my hand and I wanted so badly to pull him in close and just kiss him this once. It was getting hard to fight this feeling with his touch. But before I can acted on it, he got out the car and opened my door.

God damn Liv! What has this wolf done to you. He is just a boy.

We walk over to the porch and turn to face each other. I know he must be feeling the same temptation as I was. "Elizabeth, thank you for giving us a try. I know it had to be hard for you to agree."

He started to caress my arm making it worst to not melt. "We will figure everything else out. We will just do it together. I just can't stand being so far away from you, it's too much." I understand what he meant. I know our kinds, are different but moving in and all. It was normal for what he ask for.

"I know it has to be. I will be ready when you come to pick me up." I stare into his eyes feeling the bond working. "I'm sorry if I can be difficult at times. Love and relationships hasn't worked so well for me." His touch got warmer.

"I know. I never done this before." We laugh.

"I'm sure with all the girlfriends you had, I might be a hellstorm." He didn't return my laugh this time.

"I don't do relationships either." He said.

"Ohh come on, Alpha like you. You got to had a girl or two?" I know he's not a saint. But i'm sure he has a string of girls.

"Nah not really. The girls I know just wanted to hook up. Or just like my title of being an heir. Plus after I became Alpha. I avoid this mate thing." As I remember what Malcolm told me. He has been trying to get Travis to find his mate for a long time now.

"Are you sure you want to do this. You can back out whenever you want. No hurt feelings really." Travis went back to holding my hands. Sparking up my body.

"Nah I'm good. I just want you to come home now." His smile made me all red. And my mouth went dry. "You take your time and if you need me, just call. I'll drop everything to come. And if not me, I'll make Mason do it!" I heard a slight Alpha voice come and I try to hid my laugh.

We stood there staring at each other for a bit. Knowing it was hard to part our ways right now. So I thought since I'm giving life and this mate bond a try. Why not give it my all. It won't kill us, right?

Travis pull me in for a hug so we can part our ways. But before he could do that I pulled his face in to smack our lips together. Thinking, "why the hell not."

Feeling an unbelievable feeling unleashed. So warm and smooth to the touch, I didn't want to stop. But thought we could have this forever. It was a never ending sensation. I pull away a little and he lean his head on mine. "Thank you for today. I can't wait for more. Goodnight Travis." I whispered in short breath.

It was hard to keep eye contact. With the bond overloading from our first kiss. Meeting his eyes in such little space had an urge I know I can't fall in too quick.

"Goodnight Elizabeth." He said as I pull away from his touch. Walking into my home.

I brace myself against the door. With my heart in my belly. "Ugh, five days and everything will change."

Two Days Later.

My back arch over my bed, feeling the tension building inside. My brain fluttering with a mind blowing images. Helping me reach the climax I've been craving. I bit down hard on my lips to keep any noise from getting lose.

"Travis." I gasp.

An image of his muscular body, holding me tight. The way he and only him can calm me down.

"Tra.."

His voice lingering in my head while the vibration works my nerves. My legs clench with the craving of him inside. I can still feel the spark of our kiss left behind that night. My body was vibrating with this over filling desirer. I would normally have my toy on high but it has been a long time for me. So something less speedy but thrilling was getting the job well done. A little thrust here while my c**t gets work. I was on the edge to explode.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

"Hey Livy!" I quickly shut the toy off and hid it under the cover.

"Mery! You scared me. I was sleeping." I panted.

"Mmhh huh sure." Jumping on the bed next to me.

"Wait how did you get in? The door was locked." I know I always lock my door when I pleasure myself.

"It was. I just heard you mumbling so I spelled to come in and scared you." Mery giggled. I sigh lowly to her.

"You did not hear me. I was sleeping." I roll my eyes and put my toy away in my bedside drawer.

"I did a little. I thought you were having some sexy phone call with Travis." Mery poking my sheets.

"Hah no, we are not even at that state yet." I said.

"So what? You just use your fingers and watch porn or something?" I shrug my shoulders. "So what do you do?" I turn to see Mery truly asking me truthful questions after questions?

I narrow my eyes. Reading her face and body language. "Mery, are you a virgin?" I asked. Her eye didn't widen.

"Of course. I wanted to wait for my mate. Don't you?"

I laugh but quickly fix my face. "Ohh Mery sorry. It's cute but no." I replied.

"Ohh, I thought well. Okay." She look away nervous.

"Mery your first time is important. Its special. Nothing wrong with waiting for your mate. Beside that's why there's toys and porn to help you ease the wanting, while you wait." I laugh.

Mery chuckle a little. But I see she was unsure. "Mery have you ever..umm m*********d?"

That's when Mery's eyes widen. Like it was a dirty word to say. Her cheeks flushed red. "Not really. I tried but... Nothing happened you know. I don't know maybe I was doing it wrong." She stopped and got off the bed. "Sorry that was stupid. Let's talk about something else."

I crawl to Mery to get her to sit back down. "Hey, it's different for everyone. Some likes certain stuff more than others. Some need extra help. And others simply don't like anything beside the real thing. So maybe you just need to find what works for you. A toy or something." I pulled out another toy I had locked away and Mery freaked.

"Oh my God, I can't. How do you.. no Livy oh my God." I giggle so hard.

"It's fine. We can go to the store one day and find what you want." Mery quickly replying no. "Okay, okay. No pressure. Beside when you tell your mate. He will make it special for you. And if you have any questions, just ask."

Her face lit up red again but I squeeze her hand to calm her nerves. "Everything is when you're ready. No ones else." She nods and we hugged it out.

"Sorry, I just thought I had you around to talk about these stuff growing up. Only aunt Mable talks about s*x but you know her." A soft chuckle burst out. Knowing Mable and her mens.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there. But hey, we're here now. So no more looking back. Let's just move forward."

We took a minute and lay in bed. Thinking about how life would be so different if we weren't separated. I won't lie and say it wasn't sad to think. Because it was. But we also thought of good moments we could have had. Yet at the end it was all too late. Those moment can't never happen now.

"Alright come on, let's practice before my headaches come back." The main reason I needed a release were my headaches, stress, or my nightmares. Everything just seems to be getting worse lately.

"Okay, I'll go start the car and we can go."

"No it's fine. My parents says it's fine if we do it in the house. As long as we don't burn it down." Mery smile made me felt so happy. I finally brought her home to meet my parents. They adore her so much. I mean its Mery, who won't.

"Okay come on let's start then." Mery shouted.

I grabbed some books and supplies. We both sat down and practice together. I never thought this day will ever happen again. But here we are, once again learning to expand our witches ways. With Mery, I don't seem to get my nose bleeds anymore. Thank God, I was starting to worry. Who knew last night will change everything to the better for me. I thought I was going to have to call Travis to pick me up early. But it all went a different direction. It was all a surprise to me really.

*Flash Back*

"So when is he going to pick you up?" Mery asked, while picking up our mess.

"Well he gave me five days but I think I'm just going to tell my parents tonight. Get it over with." Packing my books.

"Are you sure you still want me to come. I don't have to." I hear her concern but I need to come clean.

"I'm almost 18. I can't keep hiding this from them. I just can't." I sigh loudly.

Mery puts her hand on my shoulder and I lean into it. "You don't have to do everything at once. If it goes bad..." I cut her off, already knowing the answer.

"If it does. I'll just call Travis to get me." We met sympathetic eyes. "Either way, I'm moving out and into the pack house with my mate." Grabbing some herbs from our casting.

"If you need anything, anything at all. I'm here Livy." We hug and whispered I love you to each other. I miss these moments with her so much. It makes me angry at our Ancestors for keeping us apart. Shows what the hell they know.

"So have you decided on who's coming to your party?" Mery asked.

Fuck I still wasn't sure about it. Maybe I should go, I don't know. "I mean it's just to celebrate you. No one is asking you to move in and all. We're just glad your alive." I know Mery means well. But I know deep down, she secretly was asking me to come back. Out of everything in my life, I know I would never.

"I guess my parents if they accept me. And umm.."

"Travviiss." Mery sang.

I giggle and nod. "Yeah, I just got to ask him first." I know having him there will help a lot. This f*****g mate bond will come in handy.

"You still haven't told him about it." Sighing annoying.

"No, I just don't know if he wants to be around a bunch of witches." Zipping up my backpack.

"Well we're more than that once." I couldn't help but hate how sad Mery was. She knows the truth and I just can't see her coven as the same anymore.

"I wouldn't hold it against him if he shut me down." Clearing my hands and standing up.

"Hey if not, I'm here. I won't leave your side again. We can even leave early if you want. Go sneak some cookies and watch movies for the night." She snickers.

"Sound great, thank you Mery." We hug and headed out the woods.

"I'll see you later tonight." Mery said.

"Thank you for doing this."

"Aahh I'm so excited. I can just kiss you." With her jumping insanely we hug and she grabbed my face to, oopps a pat kiss. My heart race knowing Travis knew what happen. "Ohh sorry I know he's going..."

Ring Ring

Just on time, Travis calls me. "Hello?" Rolling my eyes.

"Care to explain little witch?" Travis using his Alpha tone. It was cute and truly turns me on.

"Mery got too excited and it just happen, 1 second that's all."

Mery then grabs the phone to apologize. "So sorry, I didn't mean to. Yes I know, I'm so happy for you too. Can't wait to meet you too, hopefully soon." Handling me back my phone.

"Your sister is very hyper." He said.

"Just wait until you meet her face to face." I joked, not sure he would want to.

"She is your sister and family. I can't wait my witch." Goddess, his little nickname burns in my belly. Daring to hear him say more.

"We'll see, won't we." Nervous laughing.

"Just no more kissing from no one. I don't want to have this talk with you again. Your lips belong to mine, and verse. Understand Elizabeth!" Travis Alpha tone lit a tingle when he spoke my true name, making my face red as hell.

"Goodbye, my wolf." Sending a tease of my own.

"Goodbye my witch, we will see you in a few days now." I blush, knowing I secretly can't wait.

"Bye." I hang up knowing Mery was listening in.

"Gezze you two are gross." We laugh and part our ways.

Later on that day, my stomach was clenching for dear life. All my worst fears as they started to resurfaces. Rethinking my whole plan. But when I think clearly, no time was better than now. If they love me, they will accept me with who I always been. And if not, well f**k! I guess all I have is Mery, Connie, Mason, and Travis. And I'm fine with that.

"So who is this friend you invited dear?" My dad asked.

"Someone I haven't seen in years. You'll love her, everyone does." Helping my mom displace the food.

"We can never love anyone more than you, Elizabeth." Mom said cheery.

Just then, there's a knock on the door. "Its Mery." I said, and ran for the door. Right before I open, I let out a huge breath. Hoping this dinner goes well. Mery walks in nervous and all. I reassure her it's all fine. And she can leave whenever she is ready.

I sat down at my normal spot, while Mery sat next to me. Together mom and dad walks in saying hello without even looking. But once they sat down and really look at Mery. Their jaws dropped and they became speechless.

"Mom, dad." Swallowing a lump. "This is my twin sister, Meredith." Mery waves hi and my dad is the first to break silents.

"Welcome dear. It's great to meet you."

Mom gasp and walks over to Mery, staring back and forth at both of us.

"Mom? Are you okay?" I asked. Hoping this wasn't a bad idea.

She brakes down in gasps of tears. Whispering something to Mery. Mery smiles and got up to hug her. It made me so happy to see this moment.

"Ohh you beautiful baby girl. Thank you for coming. Oh God, I must be a mess. I'm sorry." Mery was very kind and mom sat down at her seat.

"I'm sorry if this is too much but, It's just the start of what I wanted to talk to you about." Mery whispered and suggested we eat first. I agree and we all enjoy a delightful feast. Mery and I shared stories of growing up. Only making mom cry more. But out of everything, seeing how my parents engage with Mery, made this dinner all worth it.

I help mom put the dishes in the sink and after we finish we all sat back down to continue to talk. Mom ask how we reconnected and Mery told her all about the accident at work. "Ohh that had to be a shock of a day for you two?" We giggle and agreed.

Now that they're warm up to Mery and my happy childhood. Time to lay out the full truth. "Mom, dad, there's something else I had to tell."

Mery grab my hand with a gentle squeeze. "You don't have to. It can wait, he will understand." I place a slight smile while pulling away.

"It's okay. I need to do it regardless."

"What is dear?" Dad asked with questionable eyes.

Looking at both my parents I wonder how they will react. Praying to Moon Goddess to just give me the strength I needed.

"I'm a witch." No gasp, no nothing. They just met matching glances and smile.

"We know Elizabeth." Mom said lightly.

Wait what? They know, what does she mean, they know.

"No, you're not listening mom. I'm a witch, witch. Watch." I do a simple spell and light the fire place across from us and into the living room.

Dad's eyes lighting up with joy and mom match with a smile. "Yes dear we know this already."

"How, when? Umm who, umm told you?" Stuttering my words.

Mom whispered to dad and he got up to get something. "Here baby. Read this." Dad handing me a letter. I search their faces. Only saw smiles while they join hands.

"Umm okay,"

Dear mortal parents to my wise little witch , Elizabeth. Please treat her as if she was your own. Love her, care for her, support her, worship her, encourage her. And be gentle with all the power you have. My Elizabeth has had a terrible, misfortune of a childhood. Which puts us in this place. I wish I could be a parent to my wise little witch , watch her grow up and fall in love with her mate. But fate has put her in your hands. She needs you to be her parents and love her like the world depends on it. She has been hurt mentally, spiritually, and physically. I should of been a better father to my Elizabeth. Bringing her here was the only good thing I did. I have talk to Madam Grace to inform you with all our kinds information. Letting you know what you may be getting yourselves into. Raising a witch is hard. Being a parent and loving them right is harder, I couldn't do it with her. And I need you to. With the misfortune life she was given, my dear Elizabeth had to grow up sooner than expected. She didn't have a childhood as we wish she would. She was mostly kept as a slave. I would not saintify myself, cause I also treated her unwell. I couldn't protect her like the father I wish I was. I had made many mistakes. But I do hope with you, it can be erase in a way. Allow Elizabeth to come clean about her past and her witch DNA when she is ready. Give her everything she deserves, because she does deserve everything. Elizabeth is wiser than our Ancestors. She will do wonders for our world. And you, as her parents, will be by her side cheering her on every step of the way. There is so much more I would like to say, but I can't. Just love her with all your soul, please allow my wise little witch to be happy and have the life she can dream of. Please hid this letter from her. I have written a personal one for just her already.

With all love and gratitude, thank you for being Elizabeth Marshall's parents,

Caden Marshall.

I cried reading my father's letter to my parents. Shocked at how long my parents already knew my secret. They just waited until I was ready. They did not push or anything. "You, you guys knew?" Asking softly so they don't hear my cracked voice.

"Yes dear." My dad said. "We're sorry we never showed you this letter or even told you. We just followed your father's wishes."

Mery got up and hugged me. Making me cry more. "See they are your real parents Livy. They love you." She whispered.

I hand Mery the letter to read for herself. I got up to hug my parents. Thanking them for everything they have done for me. Because they have followed father's wishes. They became my parents. They did everything right.

"Do you guys want to know what happen to me? Why I am who I am?" I prepare myself to talk about my trail of pain.

"No dear. Madam Grace showed us a slideshow when we agreed to adopted you. So we know everything." Their eyes looked broken when I asked. Knowing they did knew about everything.

"I'm sorry you show that." With a frown. That had to be hard for them. Yet they still decide to adopt me after seeing. It make me happy and very grateful for them.

"Don't be, you were a child. And now you're here with us. And once again here with Meredith." We all shared a smiled. I want to hope that life can be good now.

"There's also one more thing, and it's big." Eyes widen huge.

"Mom you remember Travis?" She nods a yes and informs my dad about him. "Well he's my mate. And in a few days I'm moving into his pack house." Their expression didn't change. God, I really thought this dinner was going to be a whole other thing.

"Pack house? That means he's a wolf right?" My dad asked. I raise a confuse eyebrow. I know everyone knows about us supernaturals and all. But it still surprise me with what they know. We never talked about anything that wasn't mortal related.

"Elizabeth, we're not as dull as you may think." Mom joked. "When we sign the adopted papers. We spend so many hours reading everything we can about you. And in between that, we learn about others as well. We wanted to prepare for whatever happens."

"You guys are really not surprise by any of these news." I asked.

"Not a little." Dad chuckled. "We were ready for you to find your mate since your were 16. We know how these things goes." My heart felt so much better after all this. Knowing that I didn't had to hid anymore.

"We honesty thought Mason might be your mate." Mom said.

"Or that ex of yours." Dad added.

Mery laugh at the Mason recalled, as did I. "Gross no, well funny story. Travis is Mason's Alpha. Where Mason is a Beta at the pack." Their smile said it all. Clapping with excitement I can assume.

"Well I am glad to know you will have a trusting friend at your new home." Dad said.

In all truth, so was I.

"Ohh so Travis is this big shot Alpha king." Mom said all giggly. I nod with her.

"Aww my Elizabeth is gonna be a Luna. I'm so excited. We all need cake to celebrate." Getting up to grab it.

"As long as he treats you good and I get to walk you down the aisle. I'm happy for you baby girl." Dad reach over to grab my hand. I can see he tried not to cry over the idea.

"Who wants chocolate moussee!" Mom yelled into the dinning room.

"Ohh me please!" Mery raising her hand.

I smile as I watch Mery and my parents. Enjoying, how great life is right now. Dad noticed me staring and asked if I was okay. "I'm perfect. I just love you guys so much." My voice was low in joy.

"We love you too. Even when you become all big shot on us." I rolled my eyes at him. "I always knew you'll be someone big." Again I fight back my tears.

"Did you want me to help you pack, Elizabeth?" Mom asked.

I shook my head no. "I got it, thank you."

"Meredith dear. You are always welcome here. You are just as family to us as Mason and Connie. Even more." She winked at her. Mery thanked her and we all enjoy our night. Feeling ever more bless by the Goddess herself.
