Two Alphas Love Me

Ch 4- Two Mates?

ZARA'S POV

"Mate"

I should have been happy to hear it but somehow it still felt weird. The i***t didn't acknowledge me back there and now he is expressing his emotions.

Might be ashamed of accepting you in front of his chosen one. I mentally nodded my head at my subconsciousness.

"Well you are gonna reject me right so go ahead. No need for further delays." his expression of happiness was quickly replaced by the one of anger and confusion.

He looked me dead in my eyes and said, "And why would I reject you?" He looked like he was trying his best to control his beast.

A humourless laugh escaped me when he voiced his question, "You didn't seem to acknowledge me back there in front of your mate." I spat the word mate as my inner anger was at its highest right now.

The anger still remained but it was doubled while the confused look was erased from his face. He moved his hand through his hair and released a low growl and looked at me trying to calm himself down. I know I should be scared but the anger within me didn't allow the fear to surpass it.

He took a deep breath and said, "That wasn't me." I looked at him trying to find the joke but he was dead serious. I scoffed and said,

"So you have a twin?" he nodded his head in response to my question.

But how much I know twins are really rare in the supernatural world. And if there are twins they are usually born in the royal families, so does it mean......

My expression clearly said that I wasn't taking his excuse so he decided to introduce himself,

"I am Alexio Remus, nice to meet you."

Alexio Remus, Hmm, I have heard that name before but where. I kept on thinking and that's when it struck like lightning to me. Alexio Remus the present King of the lycans and the werewolves. The king that awaited his twin for the past ten years. I looked at him wide eyed hoping that he was joking but no, he wasn't.

I opened my mouth to speak but nothing except air came out. My expression was amusing to him as his lips tugged upwards.

"I am sorry if you felt rejected because of my brother. You are my mate, I have been waiting for you since centuries. My brother might have chosen a queen but I didn't. I knew you would be somewhere out there waiting for me. My mate. The one who was made to fill the other half of my heart, the one to reign by my side, the one with whom I will share my eternity."

With saying that he dropped on his knees and looked me while giving me his hand,

"Please accept me. I promise I will love you till my last breath and will do anything to make you happy." he looked at me, his eyes pleading me to take his hand and me being an i***t gave in.

I placed my hands in his and said, "I Zara Malik accept you Alexio Remus as my mate for eternity." he literally jumped on his feet with a wide grin spread across his face and picked me up.

I squealed at the sudden action while he kept on expressing his happiness by rotating us in a circular motion. I chuckled at his excitement.

He finally put me down and cupped my face in his hands while brushing my left cheek with his knuckles, "Zara. A beautiful name for a beautiful angel." I scowled at the cheesy line but that didn't stop the deep blush from grazing my cheeks.

He smiled when he saw the blush on my cheeks and hugged me like there was no tomorrow. I hugged him back and his scent enveloped me like a blanket which I didn't want to leave. His warmth was so comforting that I could spend eternity surrounded by it. He put his head in the crook of neck and kept on inhaling my scent as if I was his most favourite flower.

An annoyed groan escaped his lips when the arrival of the kings was announced in the ballroom. He removed his head from my neck and cleared his throat and said, "Let's go back to the ballroom. I will meet you again. Okay?" I nodded my head at him and went towards the door but before I could leave he pulled me flush against his chest and placed a chaste kiss at the base of my neck in response to which I only shivered which he didn't seem to miss.

He continued placing kisses till he reached just below my ear, where he sucked my skin and murmured in my ear, "And by the way, you're looking really beautiful in this dress." and with that he released me while I was trying to control my breathing which was deprived of me due to his close proximity.

"Now you can go." I turned to see him smirking at my state but I just rolled my eyes and turned around immediately so that he couldn't see the smile which appeared on my face.

I reached the ballroom and saw my parents and the others searching for something. They must have smelled me because they looked at me and sighed in relief. Huh, what is that supposed to mean?

My brother came to me and squeezed the life out of me. I tried to push him off me as I couldn't breathe. When he finally released me it was my dad's turn to suffocate me.

"Dad leave me." he finally noticed my struggle and released me and said, "Where were you? You know how worried we were. All of us felt your sadness pouring through the bond." ohh.

"Dad calm down. I am alright. It's just something happened and I will tell you guys later, I promise." he looked a bit hesitant but still agreed with me along with the others. Alex came and hugged me, "Don't do that again. We all were so scared for you." I was about to hug him back when a threatening growl sounded from behind me.

All the movements in the ballroom stopped. The room was soon clouded by dominance along with rage. Everyone could do nothing but submit to the person. A whimper escaped me and I bent my neck as a form of submission but before I could a hand stopped me. Sparks flowed through me and I knew it was Alexio. Somehow after his touch the dominance which before was forcing me to submit now seemed comforting and prideful.

I managed to raise my eyes and look directly into his. He snatched me out of Alex's hands and pulled me into his embrace and inhaled my scent deeply and said, "You don't bow to me. You are my mate and therefore my equal." he took a sharp breath and continued, "And no male apart from me is allowed to touch you." he ended his statement with a low growl.

I mentally shook my head and face palmed myself. Here goes the possessive male lycan and with him being the king didn't help at all.

I raised my hands that still didn't come into action and ran a hand across his back and said, "Relax, he is like a brother to me. They were just worried that I was gone for a long time."

He raised his head and looked at me, "Brother?"

I raised an eyebrow at him as if telling 'seriously' , "This is what you heard out of everything I said." he merely shrugged in response and hugged me again.

While I felt comforted in his arms, I could sense a pair of eyes burning holes through our bodies which embraced each other like there was no tomorrow. I looked around and was met with the same pair of silver-blue eyes which looked like they were filled with confusion, anger and maybe jealousy? No, why would he be jealous? He already has the girl he chose for himself and if he wants to stay with her then I don't mind. I have Alexio and that is more than enough to comfort my heart.

After our little show everyone came to know that we were mates which I wasn't ashamed of and by seeing the look on Alexio's face he wasn't either. We danced for some time and talked about random things during which he informed me that I will be meeting his parents some time soon. They were present here before but departed early as they had some amends to handle.

I was a bit nervous at the thought of meeting his parents. Now come on who wouldn't be? Because certainly if his parents won't like me then all my feelings will drown like a newly raised leaf which drowned in water due to being plugged just for satisfaction.

I don't know if that made sense but never mind. After having dinner I bid my good night to everyone as I was really exhausted by now.

Alexio placed a chaste kiss on my forehead which definitely was not approved by my father and brother along with my uncles while my mom and Hestia along with my aunties just awed at us for which my traitorous cheek couldn't stop blushing. After my embarrassment I headed out of the ballroom along with my family members.

Their expressions said that they wanted to ask me a lot of questions but seeing my tired state they refrained themselves. Everyone departed to their own rooms and I was about to enter mine when a voice startled me,

"We need to talk."

I turned around and saw the person I least expected to talk to me tonight.

My already mated mate.
