Mated To The Alpha Twins

Unresolved Issues

Chapter 4- Unresolved Issues

*Averys POV*

I stood their rigid, shaking my head uncontrollably. They had to be lying, he wouldn’t dare come on pack land. Memories of his face come flooding back, his sick twisted grin spread across his face when he shifted back, like he enjoyed every part of that terrifying ordeal. I felt my body start trembling, losing the feeling in my legs I collapsed to the floor. The twins reached down for me, I could sense how tense and worried they were, I guess this was the reaction they were expecting. My arms wrapped around myself, as if shielding me from the thought of him being there when I get home. Regan sat on the floor beside, lifted me up gently and placed me on his lap. One hand enclosed around my hair the other rubbing my shoulder while Harry’s were rubbing my back. I tucked my head into his neck and wept, gasping for breath after each sob. When they decided enough was enough, Regan picked me up, cradled ever so gently in his arms before placing me in the back of the car. Harry clipped on my seat belt and gave me a encouraging smile, one I couldn’t return. I just stared at him all hopeless and lost.

“We have 2 options Avery and you need to pick one” Harry said, taking the drivers seat while Regan came to sit in the back with me. He took my hand in his and gave it a reassuring squeeze. “Choice one is that we go back to the pack house” I took a sharp breath, that’s the last place I want to be “and you can hide out in one of our rooms Or we drop you off at Laya’s cottage for a couple of days”. I could sense the distress in his voice at the thought of me staying away from them for a few days, seeing as I was adamant I would be leaving soon. Regans eyes were filled with anxiety and I didn’t know how to comfort them. Would bring away from them be any safer then being with them?

‘We can’t leave’ Rain howled, she was led down trying to hide her face in her paws.

“I want to go to the pack house with you” i murmured, I don’t think I even convinced myself saying it. Regan’s body relaxed as he lifted my hand to his lips and kissing my knuckles gently.

“What is he doing here?” I Interrogated, my eyes switching between them trying to read their facial expressions.

“He’s here for the Alpha Ceremony tomorrow” Regan spat through gritted teeth, his whole arm had tensed up apart from his hand which still held mine. I traced pattern’s on his knuckles, partly to distract him and me, and as planned he loosened up.

“I can’t imagine how your feeling Avery, I’m so sorry” Harry sighed, he was gripping the steering wheel so tightly that his hand was going white, eyes glaring at the road ahead. What I was feeling? I was angry, confused and numb.

“Almost there” Regan whispered, I lowered my gaze. Being away from them away from the pack house was okay, but once back all the memories would creep up all up at once, especially our with the help of our new arrival. I stiffened in my seat, fidgeting with a loose thread on my dress.

We finally arrived, Harry pulled the SUV in to the drive and hoped out rushing for my door. I climbed out slowly, mentally preparing myself for any sort of communication with Alpha Richard’s. I instinctively began to head towards the kitchen, absent in thought.

“Avery?” Regan questioned, I stood still in my tracks and turned. He had his hand outstretched for me and Harry was nowhere to be seen, my eyes searched for him everywhere but found nothing. Placing my hand in his he pulled me towards him, my free hand placed on his chest.

“Harry has gone to see where they are in the pack house before we bring you in” he whispered, sending shivers down my spine. I nodded as he took me around the back of the pack house towards the side door. He halted for a second, Harry must be mindlinking him, before he cursed under his breath.

“Mum and Dad have put them on the ground floor in a guest room, how good at creeping are you Avery” he turned to me, his expression painted with guilt making me want to wrap myself around him.

“I managed to avoid you both quite easily” I half heartedly joked, it was easier to be around Regan then it was Harry. Regan never did anything to physically hurt me but he stood by and watched it happen after he was caught defending me and that was just as painful. I tryed to make myself understand the portion he was in, scared to disobey his parents, to show any sign of weakness to his overbearing father.

“You were always quite good at that” he whispered, pulling me through the side door. I shuffle nervously behind him, every footstep calculated in my head. We walk through the lower corridors, poking our heads around corners inspecting them before we rushed off. We were a couple of footsteps away from the stairs when Regan stopped abruptly causing me to crash into the back of him, he swung around and placed a hand over my mouth before I had a chance to know what was happening. Then I hear him, a grating low voice of a cold twisted murderer, all that’s separating me from him was a stone wall. Regan watched me sympathetically as the colour drained from my face and pools of tears forming. As quiet as he could he hoisted me so I was wrapped around his waist, one hand placed over my mouth to muffle the cry’s, and raced up the stairs before anyone could see. I cried into his neck, his soft skin calming me ever so slightly. I didn’t even notice he brought me into his room until he sat down on the bed cradling me in his lap. He led down, bringing me with him wrapping his arms tightly around me, I felt protected and safe. My sobs mellowed, and even when I eventually stopped Regan did not let go of me and I didn’t really mind. We sat in a comfortable silence until we heard footsteps approaching the door, I turned to Regan petrified. As the door swung open I flinched, closing my eyes waiting to be scolded for being around Regan. Even after the door closed my eyes remained shut.

“Avery are you okay” I heard a familiar whisper, I pryed my eyes open to see Harry approaching. Regan lifted me up till I was sat up properly, his hand on my lower back to support me incase.I gave him a quick nod, a comforting smile forming on his lips.

“Good” he turned to Regan who’s attention was on me “I tryed to hold them off there asking about you, might want to make a appearance”. Regan gave a quick nod, his hand moving off the back and I miss the comforting warmth it was giving me. He went to stand up and i clutch on to his hand. Turning to face me, he squeezed my hand.

“I won’t be long princess, Harry’s going to stay with you and I’ll come straight back” his soft voice trying to reassure me, but that’s what I was afraid of, being alone with him. I nod against my better judgement and he crosses the room, all safety I felt like I had left with him. I avert my gaze taking in his room, I never really noticed it before. Everything was neatly placed, no sign of mess but then yet again Regan did seem like a neat freak. The room was colour co-ordinated grey and blue, there was a large bookcase stretching across half of the back wall. Harry settled himself next to me, and I shuffle away slightly. He takes a deep sigh and groans.

“I’m doing everything I can Avery, but you don’t even like me near you! What more can I do?” He snarled, and I felt myself pulling away again.

“I don’t know” I mumble, it would take more time to warm up to Harry because of the pain he caused me, it doesn’t help that I was purposely avoiding him as much as possible. His head had fallen into his hands, I could sense how upset he was and I felt a twinge of guilt. I take a deep breath in and scoot across the bed, my thigh touching his leg. Resting my head on his shoulder, i sigh.

“I’m sorry Harry, it’s just going to take some time” I whisper. He turns to face me, he still looked sad and guilty.

“No I’m sorry, I’m sorry for everything. I’m sorry for ever mean thing I’ve sad, for any time I laid a finger on you and hurt you. I’m sorry for all the emotional pain I’ve caused you, you have never done anything to hurt me yet all I’ve ever been is horrible to you. Yes I regret it, every single thing and I’m even more sorry that I haven’t apologised sooner. I want to give you the world and my heart if you let me. I want to fix you Avery, every single piece I broke I want to glue back together but I can’t do that if you leave” he gasped, relief washing over him as if he had been keeping it all pent up. I was shocked about the apology before but this was behind anything I ever excepted from him. He handed me his heart and soul on a silver platter, showing me more emotion in a few seconds then he ever showed me growing up. His eyes sparked with desire and regret, and without another thought I climbed on to his lap straddling him. He was startled by my sudden change in movement, but then one corner of his lip crawled up into a smirk.

‘Let me take control’ Rain purred, if she had it her way I would be marked and mated by my birthday.

‘No Rain back off’

“Does this mean your going to stay” he begged hopefully, I wrap my arms around his neck thinking about my next words carefully.

“It means I’ll think about it” i whisper, even I had been questioning my plans of leaving, but would I be able to suppress all the trauma and be happy here?

“I’ll take it” he growls seductively, leaning forward slightly, his breath warming my lips. Giving in to temptation i closed the distance, my lips crashing on his. His eyes widen with surprise til he realises whats happening, moving his lips in sync with mine. His lips were warm and smooth with the taste of peppermint, his eyes half open in desire. For a second all my hatred for him dissolved and i wanted to remember him in this very moment. We pull apart eventually so I can take a breath, my face beet red and he leant back smirking.

“Care to explain what that was? Not that I’m complaining” he jested playfully. I hide my face with my hands embarrassed, also to cover the fact my cheeks were glowing red.

“You look all cute when your flustered” he whispered softly, gently tugging my hands down. I let them drop and glanced at him, then to his lips. I cup his cheeks in my hand, pulling him towards me, missing the taste already. His hand gripped a handful of my hair and tugged gently, a moan escaping my lips. Then the door burst open, i spring myself off of hun crashing on to the floor, barely keeping my balance as my feet hit the floor.

“What did I just walk into” he chuckled, closing the door gently, before crossing the room to me in a few strides. My gaze hits the floor, trying to hide all signs of embarrassment.

“It’s only fair if he gets one then I get one” he teased, placing two fingers under my chin lifting my head up. Without thinking I threw myself into his arms, snaking mine around his neck and closing the distance between our lips. They were soft, his tongue teasing my bottom lip. We pull apart, and yet again I’m breathless. He stood there proud of himself before turning to collapse on to his bed. I was more then happy to get off this topic as soon as possible and had the greatest excuse.

“What was said downstairs?” I quizzed, settling myself into the desk chair opposite the bed, as much distance the better.

“Boring planning conversations, boasting testosterone driven Alphas, all the usual business stuff” shrugged Harry, still propping himself up on his elbows.

“Alpha Richard’s” I pushed, I know this conversation wasn’t going to end well but I had to know.

“He will leaving tomorrow night straight after the ceremony, urgent business apparently” scoffed Regan, rolling his eyes.

“Arrogant asshole, and I thought dad was bad” joked Harry. I gasped and they turned to me confused.

“You can’t say that!” I scolded them, as much as I disliked the current Alpha I would never out right disrespect them. They burst out laughing, i scowled at both of them.

“It’s not funny!” I whined, turning the chair away from them.

“Okay we are sorry” Regan chuckled, trying to suppress his laughter, “Let’s get you ready for bed princess”.

“What do you mean” I questioned, spinning back around again to face him eyebrow raised.

“You don’t think we were gonna let you stay in your room” Harry laughed. I turned to him glaring, fire in my eyes.

“What’s wrong with my room? It was good enough for me when you hated me” i hissed defensively, I know they didn’t mean to offended me but it hurt none the less.

“I didn’t mean it like that, I just want to know your okay and I can’t do that when your in a different room” He sighed, running a hand through his hair.

“So I say goodbye to all personal space” I groaned, I know I said I was going to try but there is such a thing as getting enough of someone.

“Pretty much, and we’re gonna need all the time we can get if we’re gonna persuade you to stay” Regan shrugged. This was going to be along 6 days.

“And what about tomorrow? I can’t be seen with you or peoples going to know somethings up!” I complained, throwing myself up in to the middle of the room.

“Bit to late for that princess” muttered Harry under his breath, i glared him down but instead of staring back he burst out laughing.

“What do you mean a bit to late! What have you done?” I growled, this was not how this day was supposed to go, the thought of the twins telling people before I even knew made me livid.

“What do you mean what have I done?” Harry snapped back, his words cold with anger “Don’t you remember the stunt YOU pulled earlier?”. I stood there for a moment, replaying all of the days events in my head before letting out a gasp.

“Trinity” i mumbled, my run in with Trinity slipped my mind completely until now. In a fit of jealousy I claimed the twins as my mates, not even giving a slight thought about the consequences later. I had immediately jumped down their throats for a mistake I caused and I was racked with guilt.

“I’m sorry I didn’t mean-“

“Yes you did but it’s fine, if I was in your shoes I would of blamed me to, no big deal” Harry sighed, getting up and walking out of the room. My eyes burn as I stare at the door in the hopes of hun walking back in, and after a few seconds Regan had come and stood beside me.

“Come on let’s get you ready for bed” his voice comforting and friendly, after wrapping a arm around me leads me to the bathroom.

“Have a shower, I’ll get you some clothes ready. I’ll be out here when your done. Stop worrying he will be back” he kissed my forehead before walking out and closing the door. I looked around the bathroom as I stripped, my clothes falling to a puddle on the floor. Regan’s shower was huge, much nicer then the servant showers I was used to. I turned it on and watched as it fell like rain from the ceiling. I stood staring in awe for a second, admiring how beautifully it fell down before I climbed in. Hot water washed over my body and I let out a sigh. I drenched a cloth and scrubbed myself vigorously, as if being clean would get rid of all my negative thoughts. I knew it wouldn’t but it was worth giving a try. I stood there for a while just letting the water run down my body, this blissful moment of undisturbed peace. Reluctantly I turned the shower off and stepped out, reaching for the nearest towel and wrapping it around my hair.I grab another one and wrap it around my body, securing it so it wouldn’t fall off. After up my dirty clothes, I walked into the bedroom to find both twins sat in the bed only wearing boxer shorts. I ogle there body’s, abs on show for me to see.
