Mated To The Alpha Twins

School Was Safe

*Averys Pov*

I sat as motionless as I could throughout the car journey. The twins would try and start a conversation but my head was to busy working overtime. Could the twins really be my mates? I ofcourse wouldn’t be able to sense until next week when I turn 18. Maybe this was some sick joke to them, to trick me into think I am there mate when I’m not. I clung on to the hope that it was all lies, bracing myself for the inevitable feeling of being made a fool of.

School was a half hour drive, but it felt more like hours, I stared blankly out of the window at the sudden blur of trees. “Avery speak to us” begged Harry, leaning forward from his seat in the back.

“What do you want me to say!” I hissed. My sudden change of behaviour shocked me and the boys. But I had only just begun.

“Want me to say I believe you?! This is probably just a big old joke! But don’t worry I’m one week I’ll be out of your hair” I snapped, watching the colour drain from there faces. Why are they reacting like this? ‘It’s not a joke’ Rain purred, I began pushing her back out of my head. “We aren’t joking Avery!” Regan managed to choke out, I turned to look at him. I could feel the pain in his eyes. “I am really sorry for how I treated you Aves, I will hate myself everyday for the rest of my life because of it” Harry muttered, sinking back into his seat. My eyes widened on heating a apology come out of his mouth.

“Did..you just..apologise” I gasped, my hands clenching the door. Not once in all my years of knowing him had I ever heard him apologise for how he treated me. He gave me a small nod before turning to face the window. Warmth flooded my heart and I wanted to say I forgive him, but I don’t. I tell myself to remember what the real him is like, how aggressive and fowl he was.

“So if this is not some sick joke then what is this” I throw my hands up in the air.

“Our way of making up for how we were, to show you that we care for you” Regan replied, his eyes glued to the road.

“Oh and one car ride is going to make up for that is it?” The sarcasm rolled off my tongue. I don’t know what has gotten into my but I liked it and it was obvious Harry did to from the smirk spread across his face.

“Ofcourse not, but it’s a start” he chuckled, he was now watching me through the rear view mirror. I rolled my eyes in response and looked away. We were around the corner from school now. Regan turned swiftly into the car park and into his usual spot at the front of the school. Everyone was already here and waiting for the boys arrival.

That’s the difference between me and them. They were popular and I was a nobody and that’s how I liked it. At school I didn’t associate with the twins, not that they would of even spoke to me at school anyway. I would ruin their image. School was my safe space, a few hours of escape they hell what I called home.

“Stay in the car” Regan smiled, turning off the engine before opening his door and climbing out. Harry followed him out. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. What were they doing? I saw them stride towards the group of students who fawned over them. I don’t understand their obsession, yeah they were obviously really attractive, we’re athletic and there faces looked like they were sculpted by angels.

‘You like them’ purred Rain, curled up smugly at the back of my head.

‘Shut it i do not’ I barked back. I began to concentrate on the conversation outside, I could hear everyone wishing them happy birthday. I saw the twins occasionally glancing towards the car to check I was still there. The bell rang and everyone said their goodbyes.

“We will see you all in class” the boys announced in unison, everyone began to disperse. If they were trying to prove they changed why would they tell me to stay in the car? The thought of it irritated me but I don’t know what bothered me so much, I was sticking to my plan of leaving in a week anyway. I heard the boys footsteps become heavier as the approached, then my door opened. Harry stood there grinning, offering me his hand. I didn’t dare take it. I grabbed my bag climbed out myself. He returned his hand to his side and closed the car door behind me.

“We thought you wouldn’t want everyone staring at you so that’s why we told you to stay” Harry smiled, like he was reading my mind. That was actually thoughtful of him, I gave him a small smile in return. This delighted him and he went to give me a hug, I backed away just in time.

“Yeah let’s not do that” I say as I turn to walk towards school.

Regan appears in front of me causing me to halt, reaches out to hold me still but hesitates. He puts his hands in his pockets instead.

“Avery, you are our mate and as much as you don’t believe us we do care about you. And we are willing to do anything to show you that” he sighs, removing a hand through his pocket and running it through his perfectly messy hair. Harry returns to his side and nods in agreement.

I let out a sigh. “If what your saying is true and I am your mate, I want none to know until I confirm it on my birthday. At school you go back to acting like you don’t know me. And even if you both are somehow my mates, this won’t change anything. I’m still leaving on my birthday” I glare at both of them, and despite me talking back to them in such a tone they are smiling.

“Looks like we have a week to change your mind” Regan grinned.

Harry piped up “We agree to the school rule but..” I groan, there is always a but. “But..” he continues “you have to atleast try to forgive us”.

“Don’t push it!” I laughed. My cheeks went bright red as I saw them gazing at me smiling.

“You have a beautiful laugh” Regan says before I turned on my heels to walk towards school.

“Be here for half 2 we are taking you home” Harry shouted. I carried on walking across the car park. Come on Avery, push them out of your head, focus. I walk through the school doors and head straight towards my locker, two human girls stood in front of it chatting to each other. We attend schools with them but they don’t know about our kind, and we prefer it to stay that way.

“Excuse me” I whispered, my confidence from earlier quickly dulling itself out. They turned to look at me and scoff before walking down the corridor. I put in my combination and pull it open, placing all of the books that I don’t need in. I check my timetable. Great. Maths, one of the 3 lessons I have with the twins aswell as history and science. I inwardly groan where as Rain is running circles in my head at the thought of them being our mate. I close my locker door and head up the staircase to math. A few steps up I’m sent flying back down, hitting the floor with a shriek. I look up to see Trinity towering over me, a smirk plastered over her face. Behind her stood Shona, who unlike Trinity wasn’t a total b**ch.

“Oops sorry you were in my way” she laughed as she stepped around me on the floor. I took a deep breath and composed myself before grabbing the railing and pulling myself up. I heard a sudden rush of footsteps and turned to see the twins rushing over, Liam and Harvey close behind

“What the hell was that for!” Barked Regan, he stopped in front of Trinity. I could feel the anger radiating off of him. He was causing a scene, a scene where I would rather not be associated with. I looked at Harry pleadingly, wanting him to get this to stop. He gave me a brisk nod then turned to Regan. He grabbed his arm and pulled him away, Regan cursing and shouting as he does. Trinity looked more shocked then anything, the boys never used to bully me at school they would rather act like I don’t exist so I could tell she was confused. My best bet was just to run, so I carried on my path up the stairs, and once out of sight began sobbing. A few more steps then I was outside the math class room, I walked straight in taking my regular seat at the back of the class. Laya rushed in not long after me, and practically flung herself into her seat.

“What was that!” She gasped, turning to me. I shrugged my shoulders.

“I have no clue Laya” I muttered, I hated lying to her but there was no way I was telling her my situation until I knew for certain.

She scowled at me but didn’t question it any further, she knew when I was lying but I was greatful she didn’t bring it back up. The twins came storming into the room, their eyes immediately locked on to mine. I lowered my gaze to my books, Egar to avoid any confrontation with them. They took there usual seats in the middle looking ahead. I could feel them turn around every so often to check I was still here. It was reassuring to know that they were looking for me. Rain purred at the back of my head and I scoffed at her. She was so guliable, always having her guard down, it was like I was the wolf.

Math went by slower then usual, and after what felt like hours me and Laya rushed out of class to the canteen. As Laya lined up to que for lunch I went out to the courtyard to claim our regular table but it was already taken. The twins, Liam, Harvey, Trinity and Shona were already sat down chatting. Trinity had her arm wrapped around Harrys and I was instantly repulsed. I wanted to rip her arm off him but I carried on deciding to find another table instead. They all saw me approach and then change direction. I sat at the nearest empty picnic bench and took a book out to distract myself with. It didn’t stop me from picking up snipits of conversation.

“Are you excited for the Alpha Ceremony tomorrow night” Trinity squealed, I had to surpress a gag. The girl knew the twins were not her mate but she was still trying to weasel her way in there. It shouldn’t have pissed me off but it did. I rolled my eyes and tryed to carry on reading. Laya eventually came and joined me, sadness plastered over her face that our regular table was occupied. She sat down and began eating, offering me some every now and then. Laya was part of the pack but lived in a secluded cottage with her grandmother on the edge of pack land, she to had also lost her parents to the Pack War but she was lucky enough to GamGam. Every now and then, when I had a long enough break, I would shift and run up to see them. It was a nice break away from the horrors of the pack house and GamGam accepted me as one of her own. I kept making short glances towards the Twins Table, every so often one of them would look at me at the exact same time and give me a quick smile. Laya must of noticed because she started giggling.

“First they protected you and now there smiling, if I knew anything they were your mates” she joked. My face froze and I stared at her wide mouthed. I didn’t know what to say or even try and make up a lie. She looked at me shocked.

“Avery please tell me they’re not your mates!” She murmured quiet enough so the other tables wouldn’t hear. One bad thing about being a werewolf if you can hear everything. I looked at her and shrugged because I honestly didn’t know.

“If they are I won’t know until next week” I sighed, flipping the next page on my book. Laya was already 18 and was yet to have found her mate, but she took every opportunity to fantasise about whoever they were, making up crazy scenarios in her head of how she would meet him. She shook her head, she had seen first hand how the twins treated me and hated the fact I had to live in the same house as them. Then a smile appeared.

“Avery! Imagine if they are then you would be our Luna!” She excitedly whispered, i growl at her in response.

“No way!”

I wasn’t even going to give that a thought. Just because the twins were suddenly being nice doesn’t mean I’m going to throw myself at them. There was definitely a lot they had to make up for.

“I couldn’t care less if I’m there mate or not, that doesn’t make up for the past” I angrily whispered, in hopes that the twins wouldn’t hear me. Laya pulls away instantly, the spark in her eyes gone out.

“So even if they were your mates you wouldn’t stay” she questioned, I could hear the pain cutting through her voice, she was still upset about my decision to leave. I feel the anger wash away from me and it’s instantly replaced by regret.

“Laya you know this was my plan” i sigh. So if I’m so sure about it why did I say was?

‘Because you want to stay’ purrs Rain. Part of me knows it’s true, not that I want to admit it but I know it would hurt me to leave. Not just because the physical pain we go through when the mate bond severes, but because I always fantasied growing up about finding my mate and them taking me away. As much as I say I don’t need anyone a part of me still clung on to that hope. But then came the wrecking ball of realisation that if the twins were Emmy fated mates, could I get over what they put me through and love them anyway? I suppressed the thoughts as much as possible.

“Anyway the Alpha ceremony is tomorrow, there probably planning on rejecting me in front of the whole pack, not that I would be present anyway I have to help prepare the food” I sighed, for once i am glad that I have to help the hired catering staff prepare.

“Don’t be so doom and gloom Avery and lighten up” teased Laya and I cracked a smile.

Rest of the day dragged by slowly, my head and heart in a constant argument distracting me from getting any work done. Now I’m going to have to fit finishing my school work in with preparing for tomorrow. Great. The bell rings and I pull myself up and pack my stuff away. The twins told me to meet them back at the car so they could take me home. I know I had no choice as they would force me kicking and screaming into the car if they had to, and I’d rather not cause a scene so I’ll go willingly. Part of me just wanted to see them again and I hated it. As expected the twins were waiting by the car for me, what I didn’t expect was Trinity to be stood there with Shona. I swallowed my anger, and surged forward reaching for the back seat door, only to have Trinity force it closed.

“What do you think your doing gutter rat? Start walking the twins are taking us home” she glowered. My whole body throbbed in anger and then I just felt something snap.

“I’m going home with my mates is that a problem” i hissed, turning to face her. If I could do recorded this moment I would of, her jaw dropped and she was speechless. I hear the footsteps of the twins standing behind me on either side and I couldn’t help but grin.

“So how about you pick up your purse and start walking home like the gutter rat you are” my grin turned to a frown, the thought of her being anywhere near them repulsed me. I wanted to to rip her arms off for even being in the same proximity as them. She gazed at both of them, trying to read their faces before retreating and grabbing Shonas arm.

I stood there smugly, taking in the brief triumph of me standing up for myself. It was exhilarating, all this time I let people push me around when I could stopped it. I knew that I was only that confident because my jealousy of the twins.

“Your mates are we” Harry purred in my hear, his fingers graze my arm leaving a trail of goosebumps. I drop my gaze to the floor as another whisper enters my ear.

“Say it again” he commands in my ear, his voice deep and husky making me want to melt in to him. When I hadn’t replied seconds later I feel Regan’a head drop to my other ear.

“Say it” he moans, a feeling of pleasure washing over me.

“My mates” i mange to whisper, to in awe of their presence. Next thing I know I’m pressed up against the car door, my hands pinned above my head with Harry towering over me. Usually I would be filled with fear, but that was now replaced with the feeling of pleasure and desire. I bite down on my lower lip, I know I shouldn’t give in but I want to so badly, I only had 6 days left I might as-well enjoy them. Harry let’s our a low growl, and I can feel myself throbbing. He smells my arousal and leans towards my neck, not touching bug just letting out shallow breaths to tease me. I let out a gasp as his lips finally connect with my skin, leaving a trail of fire as he moves. Harry was then quickly replaced by Regan, he grasped my hands a lot more gentler.

“Say it again for me baby” he growled and my body melted into him.

“My mates” i stuttered. Regan pressed his lips to my neck and peppered me with kisses, softer then Harry was.

Then they froze, pulling themselves away making me miss there touch. I thought I’d was something I had done but the distant look on there faces meant they were being mind linked and they didn’t look happy.

“What’s going on?” I trembled, they looked at me with so much regret.

“We are so sorry Avery we didn’t know” Harry whimpered, stepping back.

“Know what?” I said shakily, my breath hitching.

“Alpha Richard’s has just arrived in pack land” Regan sighs running his hand through his hair. I freeze at the name, the Alpha of the SilverMoon Pack, the ones who killed my parents.
