After the death of the Alpha and Luna of knighthood pack, the rest of the pack were chained up and locked in a room that used to be a storage room in the pack. All the food was carted away by the vampires, leaving the wolves inside and heavily guarded on the outside.
It was midnight already, hours after the death of their leaders, everyone held sad and gloomy faces, still not over how what was meant to be a surprise birthday turned to a surprise attack. Their hatred for the vampires was so deep and unforgiving. This was especially so for Alicia and Alice who was directly related to the Alpha and Luna, they weren't their usual bubbly self, they just sat close to each other in the corner, their face dried of tears and eyes staring into empty space. They had cried so much till they were no more tears in their eyes, they were a complete mess, the image of their parents' deaths was like a constant nightmare in their heads. They spoke to no one but stayed close to each other, scared to let go and lose their only family left.
There was some movement and then a familiar voice spoke up, “No, we can't stay like this, We have to find a way out of here or else we will become slaves to this bloodsuckers” it was Bill, the head of security that spoke up. The spell that was placed on the pack members to stop movement and speech had been removed before they were brought to the storage house.
“What do you suggest? There are vampires everywhere in the pack taking away all our valuables, they will surely catch us” another pack member said with frightened face.
“But we can't stay here, do you want to be held captive and ordered around?” Bill asked back as his eyes wandered across the small crowd of chained people. Some shook their head while others said no, no one wanted to lose their freedom. Bill continued after seeing the responses, “Then we must escape tonight, no matter what because once we are taken to their kingdom, it's over”
“So what do we do?” another pack member asked.
Bill put on a thoughtful face and began to crack his brain for ideas, his eyes meet the absentminded twins in the corner and he called out to them, “Luna Alicia and Luna Alice, we need to think of a plan, gather round quickly” he said can as he gestured with his hands.
The call out snapped the girls out of their thoughts and they shared a look in surprise at the way they were addressed, “Y..you talking to us?” Alicia asked with a cracked voice from screaming so much.
“Yes, who else?” Bill was in front of them now, while he understood that they were mourning, now was not the time, they needed to act fast and sharp. “I understand how hard this must be for the two of you, Alpha Louis was my best friend, we've known each other since we were just children. But as of right now, we don't have the luxury of mourning them, we need to figure out a way to move everyone out of here safely first. By tradition, both of you are now the leaders of the pack, it's not the right time but fate has pushed us to a corner and we have no choice than to adjust. I know you girls are the least unprepared on taking over but as of today, the pack is in your hands now and you are going to stand up to it” Bill finished with a firm voice.
Alicia was the first to nod and stand up before Alice, they knew Bill was right, the pack was their responsibility now whether they like it or not. “So what's the plan?” Alicia asked.
“The plan is to get out of here, it's short and we are just going to wing it” Bill said and the girls nodded.
“Alright everyone, gather around. When we get out, we might get caught and some might lose their lives. I can't ensure everyone's safety so let your instincts drive you, if you see a good time to escape, go for it alright?” Bill instructed. Everyone nodded in agreement and arranged themselves.
Bill and a few other men tiptoed to the big wooden door of the warehouse to check if there were any vampire there. As if luck was on their side, the two vampires in front was suddenly called to help carry something.
“This is our chance” Bill whispered and he braced for impact before ramming into the door with his body. The warehouse has been around for many years so it wasn't very solid, the door broke open after the second try. Bill and the men went out first to check if it was safe while the others waited. Alicia and Alice stood in front, as alert as they can be, looking around to ensure they were safe.
Bill returned and signalled the others to come out quickly, everyone stayed together, their heart in their hands as they came out of the warehouse.
“We are going straight into the forest and separating into twos there, they won't be able to find us if we are scattered. Everyone try to find a way out, we will gather again at the human town close to the pack by 6pm. Good luck everyone, try to stay alive till then” Bill said hurriedly, attempting a joke at the end to lighten up the air. Everyone nodded unsurely and then the journey began, they followed through houses, cars and out of vampires sight.
After few minutes of walking, they arrived at the foot of the forest and just as they were about to breath out in relief, they heard shouts coming from the direction of the warehouse.
“Those filthy wolves have escaped, they must not be that far” it wasn't hard to hear as wolves were blessed with supernatural hearing.
“Shit! they know we are gone, it won't be long till they find us here. Remember the plan, scatter into the forest and remeet tomorrow at the human town. Good luck” Bill said and everybody immediately dispersed into the dense tall trees, there were wolves afterall, they understood the terrain quite well.
Alicia and Alice went into the forest together, unlike the others, they were not too familiar with the forest. They didn't hunt or train because they saw it as barbaric, so their father or some wolves usually brought meat from the forest for them. They had only gone into the forest, twice in their eighteen years of life so it was good to say they were screwed.
“Ugh, now I regret some life choices I made very much” Alice cussed frustrated as a thorny bush grazed her arms, drawing blood.
“Some? All for me” Alicia said with a frown.
They both stood and observed the eerie forest they never liked, ironic how it's the same forest that's about to save them.
“Can we really do this?” Alice asked, shifting closer to Alicia for safety.
“We don't have a choice on this one, our days of princess life is over” Alicia said as she took a glance behind them. The footsteps and voices were getting closer, supernaturals had heightened sense of smell so it was quite easy to trace them. The other wolves have already ran off, so the girls were behind.
“They are coming. Do we run like this or shift?” Alice asked with a face full with dread. She didn't like shifting to her wolf form, she said it made her extremely vulnerable and she didn't like it. She rarely shifted even after getting earfuls from their parents on the issue.
“Shifting is preferable, we are wolves aren't we? Don't worry, just stay closely behind me” Alicia assured as she grabbed her sister's hand and squeeze lightly. They nodded at each other before letting their wolves take control.
Their fur was a mixture of blonde and brown and were identical in appearance and size just like their human self, the only differentiating feature was the pattern of of the colors. They took off into the forest, jumping rocks and navigating through trees, they didn't know where they were headed but didn't slow down either, they just let their instincts drive them.
By now, the vampires had already infiltrated the forest as well, going after the wolves by tracing their scent. True to Billy's word, it was a bit harder to track with their scent scattered around but it was not impossible.
The girls ran as fast as possible, as they got deeper into the forest it was even harder to navigate through. The rocks were slippery and the trees began to look identical.
“We are lost Alicia, what do we do now?” Alice sent a mindlink over, panicking and frightened.
“Calm down, give me a moment” Alicia replied. They stopped running for a second and she sniffed the air deeply with her eyes closed. There were different scents that trickled her nose and she struggled to segregate them. She smelt game, wolves, vampires and tiny traces of humans.
“I smell some humans, the town must be close, we are still in the right track” she said excited to her sister.
“Thank goddess, let's go, the vampires are gaining on us” Alice sighed in relief.
They were just about to take off when a strong scent suddenly wafted into their nose and made them halt. It was a sweet smell of pines and lemon, had an intoxicating edge to it that made it too hard to resist.
“Do you smell that? Where is it coming from?” Alicia asked in alarm. She had never smelt anything else so divine, she was tempted to find the source of it but shook her head to clear the fog off a little.
“I must find the source” Alice voice came out slurred like she was high from alcohol, she didn't even wait for Alicia before she took off in an opposite direction.
“Wait, where the hell are you going?” Alicia asked surprised as she ran after her sister. She suspected it had something to do with the strange scent, while she was able to resist it, her sister couldn't. Alice did say she was more vulnerable in her wolf form.
“Alice, stop, snap out of it. You are going back to the lion's den” Alicia screamed at her through mindlink. Alice was running on full speed back to where the scent was coming from which was the direction of the vampire. They were totally screwed if they ran back to the vampires.
Alicia increased her pace in a bid to catch up with her tranced sister, just when she was almost losing hope, Alice suddenly slipped on a rock and fell, the impact was enough to make her snap out of her trance.
“Hey, are you okay? what is wrong with you, you were going straight back to the vampires” Alicia scolded as she got to her.
“I don't know, I just ...” Alice was caught off by footsteps. In seconds they were surrounded by vampires, even after their efforts, they were still caught.
“My king, we found the Alpha's daughters” one of the vampire was heard reporting to an approaching figure.
The girls held unto each other in defeat and fear, they tried to peer into the darkness to see the so called king who ordered for the ruin of their pack. As the figure came closer, the stronger the scent was, it almost made them feel light headed.
And then they saw him. Tall, sharp jawlines and handsome face. Their eyes met, his dark as an abyss, seeming to draw them in the more they looked. It was funny how the reason for their grief and wrecked life looked attractive to them... too appealing to be normal.
They could not control themselves as a word came tumbling out, “Mate”
Oh hell no.
Mate! Alicia and Alice stared at each other and back at the vampire King. The person who raked their life. The one who ordered the death of their parents. The one who took over their land. Their worst nightmare. There he stood in all his handsome glory. Their mate! The twins had expected him to be some elderly man, the age of their parents. But he wasn't. He was young, handsome, well built, powerful and most importantly, scary! The vampire King on the other hand had also felt the strong pull. Infact, it was what led him to them. He was not surprised when the direction of their scent changed as they ran towards him. Good enough. He almost cursed mother nature for mating him with the same people he wanted to kill and take over their land. Wonderful! Mated to twins! He sure loved a threesome but not with these creatures. He hated them. The one he suspected was the younger twin, the one who ran to him first, lay on the ground. She looked so weak. He almost laughed and shaked his hea
The door to the prison opened, startling the twins who had fallen asleep, hugging each other."Get up!" Sasha commanded loudly."You again". Alicia mumbled sleepily."Yes it's me. Get used to seeing me often". Sasha said proudly."Are you naturally a bitch?" Alicia said, sitting upright."She's definitely one of the vampire King's slut". Alice said, rolling her eyes.Sasha was in front of them before they could know it, gripping both of them by the collar of their shirts and making them stand upright."Say that again and I'll slice your throat with my nails". Sasha said angrily."Take them out". She commanded the guards that were with her."Yes My Princess". They responded."Princess?" Alicia mouthed."Food for your thought". Sasha said and popped her bubble gum.She loved chewing bubble gum and she never left her room without carrying at least ten with her."Let me go". Alicia wiggled in the guard's grip."Save yourself the stress Andrew. Jack her up". Sasha said.The twins recognize
The twins found themselves in front of an extremely large mansion, surrounded by large walls and a tall, big gate stood in front of them.The gate was opened by two security men. The King's car drove in first. The securities bowed as he drove pass. Two other cars followed suit, then theirs, then two others before the gate was shut close.They drove in and were parked in front of the mansion."Prison here we come". Alice mumbled."You and who is going to prison?" Alicia mumbled."I can't even identify you guys. But I know one is more gut-filled than the other". Rose said.They were all dragged up the steps of the mansion. The securities at the door opened up. The King had disappeared before the twins even got out of the car. The vampires at the door looked at them with disgust."I bet if they met under better circumstances, we would have b
"Can we at least have something to eat?" Alice found herself asking."What body part do you love eating?" Martha asked them with a smug look on her face.The twins cringed up in utter disgust. Rose almost threw up."We're werewolves, we don't eat...." Alicia said, unable to complete her sentence because of the disgust she felt."More to the reason why you're being given this meal". Martha said with a sweet smile and the twins cringed."Don't act like you don't eat raw animals when you go hunting". She said."Never!" The twins chorused."Ooo! I forgot you too are daddy's treasures. How can you go hunting". She said, sarcasm dripping in her voice."Those days of luxury are over!" She said with a serious expression as if fed up of talking to the twins."Get them their cloths and something to eat!" She said to Kylie and they both walked out.Alice plunged to the floor, almost weeping."I pray the moon goddess punishes that so called King". She cried and Rose rushed off to close her mouth.
"King Azalea, what is the way forward?" One of his council members asked."We'll go back and search every nook and cranny of the Knighthood pack. All I did was search their Alpha and Luna's room. Even with that, it wasn't a thorough search. I will take some warriors with me". King Azalea, who sat at the head of the long conference table replied."How about the twins, the late Alpha and Luna's girls?" Another council member asked.At the mention of the twins, King Azalea felt his stomach sink. He has not even thought of them. He didn't even remember they existed. He almost had a soft feeling of care towards them but he remembered his father and his heart clenched."They've been taken to the royal mansion where they'll be serving as maids to the royal family". King Azalea said."What if they try to escape?" The council member who had spoken first, asked."Escape!" Azalea exclaimed, throwing himself into a fit of laughter."They can't even escape their own pack woods, talkless of my King
King Azalea watched as the conference room was thrown into the chaos."Enough!" Alpha Simeon banged his fist on the table again."King Azalea, we just want to know why you did it". Alpha Simeon said."We all have our reasons for killing don't we?" King Azalea said with a smile and Alpha Simeon gulped."You didn't answer the question". Alpha Simeon said."If I were to ask you mine, would you answer?"The Alpha stuttered. King Azalea had a proud look on his face, watching the speechless Alpha. He had him right where he wanted."Are the twins safe?" Alpha Simeon asked."Of course. Why won't they be? They're being given the best of treatment". He lied."If that's all, I'll be taking my leave". With that, he made his grand exit.After he left, the whole room was thrown into confusi
Alice got up and to Alicia's utmost dismay, packed the broken plates and squashed berries back into the tray. She went over to where the maid who pushed her down was and dropped it by her side."I guess you were hungry. Never knew you had a knack for broken glasses". She said and walked out.The head chef grabbed her by the hair and pulled her back."Who are you talking to that way? You're a nobody here. No one is your mate. Mind the way you talk". She said."Let my sister go". Alicia said walking forward. The vampire maids circled her."Where do you think you're going?" They asked her."Next time, mind your business and watch your steps*. The head chef said and landed Alice a slap.Alicia could do nothing but watch. The vampires had circled her.How did their life get to this? She hated the vampire King. She hated hi
The minute Alice and Alicia got hurt, King Azalea felt it. Worst was when Alice slumped. It felt like his heart was torn open. He couldn't feel this way for them. He didn't want them as mates.'Reject them then'. His inner mind said.He couldn't reject them either. A part of him knew those girls could be the best thing that has ever happened to him. They were beautiful. Every man in his right sense would want and desire them. Maybe that was the problem with him. He wasn't in his right sense. He definitely wasn't. But when he thought back at his mission, his heart went cold. How could the moon goddess complicate his mission by mating him with his opposition's children?He groaned and decided to put a call across to his sister. She wasn't picking up. He tried again, twice but no response. It got him worried. Much more worried. Sasha never missed her calls.He focused on the road and drove to Knighthood
