The Forgotten Twins

What's next?

POV: Alpha Oliver

"Dear are you going to reschedule the final eval for the Fae Wolf Pack? Didn't they turn 16 last week?" Annabella my wife and Luna ask as she rubs my back. I just got back from out-of-country meetings.

"I tried, you know I was away because of the weird attacks on different countries packs. I wanted to do it this week but the twins did not answer and the Duke said it would have to wait" I am so tired anyway, a few weeks won't hurt. 

"Ah, do you think they are sick?" 

"No, they were spotted going into the Wildlands this morning, though the patrol said they seem unusually tired" I wonder what they could be up to? my luna seems to be thinking the same thing as she looks deep in thought. 

"Dadddddddd" Elliote comes barging in Elijah just as excited follows 

"Yes, my boys?" I question

"I think we found our mate! I smelt something amazing near the borders and Elijah did as well!" 

"It can't be possible, I'm gay and you're straight how can we share a mate?" The excitement on Elijah's face seems to dim. 

"Hmm shall we pay the Fae Wolf Pack a visit? If you smelt them near the border they are probably in that pack." I say already moving towards the door.

"Hunny did you forget the Alphas didn't answer your call?" My wife crosses her arms

"They would understand this, the boys found their mate they won't mind us looking we would let them. Speaking of which I wonder if they'll have a mate?" We are already in the car before my wife can stop us. Surely they won't mind at all. This is a special occasion. The snow is falling quietly as we drive to the front of their pack. It takes about 30 minutes. Both packs have their pack houses deep in their land near the wildlands. I must say it is smart, and we can reach each others pack houses with a 20-minute walk, should we ever have a better relationship. Jackson does visit that way though. I heard that the Faes Packhouse is actually a new structure connected to the Duke's manner. I do like the street lights that now hang all-around their pack and its border, especially on nights like this. The flowers in the baskets are always blooming I did think they were fake. They have done such a good job, the vast land that was once just the Duke's property is now a small but bustling village of supernatural born. Whereas my pack has roughly 700 theirs has about 200 supernatural and we don't count the humans in the Duke's town, but they do have 50 living in their small village. They even has homes in the WildLands. I think it's too risky but there haven't seemed to be any issues. All the supernatural in their pack that is school-age go to Parel private, but the twins still study in public school. I heard even their best friends go to Parel. I wonder why they stay in that public school. 

Before I knew it we had arrived at the front of the manor and what seemed to be the packhouse. 

"Alpha Oli?" Jackson now 18 still calling me by this nickname. 

"My boys smelt their mate and we wanted to go around your pack to see if they could pick up the scent," I say proudly, I was very happy.

"Oh? I don't know the twins are um-busy? No unavailable? Either way, I think its best to come back next month"

"Jackson next month? January? Really!" I used my Alpha voice and Jackson winced, even if he was human he was in a pack through blood joining. 

"I know but really you can't okay? I'm sorry you need to leave please Elle, Eli?" Jacksons pleading has the boys looking sheepish.

"We are not leaving yet" My wife states

I thought you were against this I mind link her to which she replied they are being fishy and sneaky Jackson doesn't even have an excuse ready. 

"Fine come in its cold out here the twins won't be happy if I let inside get cold"

We follow Jackson through the open door, it was warm inside almost too warm. We sit in a waiting room in the packhouse that is connected through a hallway to the manor we walked in through. 

"Wow dad look at all the people walking around here they are so quiet," Elijah said "Also the smell is coming from the main house"

"Yeah they look happy at least" it is concerning how quiet they are "Miss!" I yell a bit

"Sir Alpha you must not be loud right now!" She whisper screams at me just as everyone's faces fall "Too late" She sighs out, "How can I help you?"

"Why is everyone being quiet?"

"It's winter Sir Alpha the twins are sleeping during the day they become nocturnal didn't you know?" she said

"Kelly!" A boy whines 

"Winstein!" She wines back they are both teenagers I guess immature is to be expected. 

"You can't go telling people things come with me well go do laundry or something" He drags her away without another spoken word. 

"The packhouse just seemed to empty?" My wife looks around

"I think because Kelly spilled the beans she is a gossip" Elliote shrugs as he walks towards the Dukes Manor

"Where are you going!" I call

"I smell our mate" The boys answer in a trance 

POV: Minrowen

"Was that Alpha Oliver?" I scream out to the hallway from our door. 

"Sorry about that he insisted on coming in, I put him in the Packhouse but I guess he doesn't get how to be quiet?" Jackson looked sorry but came with hot coa-coa as a peace offering. 

"You were going to wake us anyway?" Minreila saids as she drags her blanket behind her coming to the door.

Let us go greet him, brother, I want to go back to bed

Okay sister

"Let's go see him, why is he here Jackson?"

"His boys want to look around for their mate he said they smelt the mating scent" 

"Okay," Both my sister and I say together taking a hot mug each. 

We both walk-in thin nightgowns and no shoes through the manor. We tended to take turns sleeping in the Manor and the packhouse we were close to where they connected either way. My nightgown was green, and my sister's blue both were big and nearly touch the floor. 

"What now!" I yell as I am literally toppled over onto my bum with Minreila as well two boys had run into us. 

"Oh no don't cry! I'll make you more!" Jackson said as he tries to soothe Minreila and Mr. Renoylds picks me up and holds me close,  am I crying as well?

"It's on my favorite blanket and teddy!" She sobs I can now see the dark stain of coa-coa on her blanket and teddy my teddy is also covered which makes me start to sob. 

"Look I'm sorry they usually aren't like this but they haven't slept in about 48 hours. The transition into and out of their hibernation and nocturnal cycles is really hard on them" Jackson said as he carried Minreila into the packhouse sitting down in our office. At some point, a pack staff member puts slippers on our feet. 

" I am so sorry! " Both Alpha boys seem to say at the same time I can now clearly tell they are Alpha Olivers Sons. 

"Why are you here my sister asks" She has stopped crying and just looks tired I can barely keep my own eyes open. 

"Can't you tell we are mates!" Elliote said and then Elijah "Well I think Minrowen is mine, and you Elles" said with a smile looking at me.

"Go away," I say before my sister's mind links me to tell them to bug off. 

"What?" Alpha Oliver yells which makes me and my sister flinch "Sorry"

POV: Alpha Oliver

My sons look heartbroken is this a rejection? No it can't be.

I stare in awe myself. The twins are in long gowns and fuzzy slippers they are completely covered for once. Both have dark circles under their eyes and keep nodding off. Their friend Suflare had come in and dried them and their stuff off and was now whispering sweet nothings to them both who were behind the huge desk with 3 seats on one side. 

"How about they stay in your guest rooms in the packhouse and you guys can talk when you feel better?" I see the boys nodding with me

"I just want to go back to bed," The twins say at the same time and walk off we follow them pleading with them the whole way back to the manor.

They both crawl into what looks like a huge nest hold hands and close their eyes.

"What?" I say in utter confusion this room has two perfectly fine beds to either side of the nest.

"Hey" Minreila pops her head up with Minrowen and points at my boys

"Yeah?" Elliote said walking close but she flinches 

"They don't do well with being touched because you know what happened" Jackson trails off

Yes, we all do know what happened when they were all eight. 

"What do you need?" Elliote asks from a distance.

"You can't stay in the packhouse, however, we can work this out after our meeting with your dad" Then they both flopped back down "Leave" They spoke in unison. 

"What does that have to do with anything" Whined Elijah

The room got stuffy, and then without warning my family was flung from the room and slid to a stop down the hall. 

"Sorry about that they get grumpy" Kelly was back to help us up, and was carrying a tray of hot coa-coa. 

" I guess it's because they are putting all their energy into the meeting with your dad they don't have anything left to deal with or think about what to do with a mate?" Winstein asked Jackson who had come over and was now nodding.

"They are scared of human intimacy, they always have been it took years of work before they were kidn*pped to get them comfortable with us holding and touching them. Then after they only really cling to us out of fear of everyone else. It's not like they can't touch people they can, and can be around people but as soon as someone tries to be intimate in any way they become terrified. Apparently, the intimacy reminds them of that five-day incident." Jackson looked sad and Mr.Renyold rubbed his back. 

" I won't give up," Elliote said

"We will be back" Elijah nodded in agreement. 

"I think it's best we leave, I'll call them around 11 pm?" I asked to which Jackson nodded that they would be awake.

We then left.
