Chapter 3 - New choices

Everything was silent, and I had never been so scared. Drew, Markus, Selene, and Anny all came looking for me. Drew and Markus came to take me home. I don't understand why. They hated me because they thought I had been trying to fool them with a trick to look like I had a spirit and didn't, then my wolf showed up before I could leave.

Soon, I heard people talking in hushed voices. I felt my eyes twitch, then blink open to the head cover over the twins' bed. And yes, they have the same bed. The big white wolf was lying its head on my stomach, and the curtains were down, covering the sides. I hadn't been near this bed for almost a year. and no, the twins and I did not have that kind of relationship.

As I sat up, the wolf lifted its head, making a huff. then the curtain on the left of me swung open, and both Drew and Markus were there. my wolf left my side, Markus and Drew got on the bed, pushed me on my back, and lay on my chest, Markus on my right, Drew on my left. Drew yanked the curtain closed.

"Uh-" I was surprised, since neither of them had been this clingy, even before the ceremony happened. The twins held my waist on both sides, just pressing their faces on either side of my chest. they were silent. All I heard was our breaths. I looked between them, and they weren't looking up at me, eyes closed in my chest. I didn't know what to do here.

We were there in silence, just lying on the bed. I was still in yesterday's clothes, but my hair felt braided. The twins pressed their faces into my chest firmly and just clung to me. These two would never even look lower than my face to be respectful. After the situation ceremony had happened, they would barely glance at me. Now they are pressing their face in my chest like they couldn't resist touching me. I didn't know what to think about this, let alone how to handle them after they acted like I wasn't important to them. But then again, those stories of humans infiltrating packs as one of the pack to tear it apart are big issues. I can understand that, but doing this is a little much, even for them. On top of that, they are very touchy with my belly while on me like this. I barely move an inch, and these two growl and cling onto me like a set of leeches.

"Okay, I have to get up," I said, trying to get up. The boys growled at me and nipped at my shirt. "Ah- hey!"

I tried to force myself up, but the twins just lifted me and set me in their laps, clinging to me with their faces on either side of my neck. I groaned, a fair bit agitated. The twins just pressed closer. I swear they were licking my neck. The twins were not letting go anytime soon.

"Okay, off." I struggled to get out of their arms. "I need the bathroom."

The twins stood up with me off the bed through the bed's curtains. I went to the bathroom, and the twins followed close on my heels. Once I made it to the bathroom, I shut the bathroom door before they could try to come in with me. I locked the door and sat on the toilet just to sit and try to clear my head. This makes no sense. I guess now that they know I'm not human, they are probably doing this to make up and make themselves feel less awful about having a reasonable fear. I was just overwhelmed. I have a white wolf connected to me; they were thought to be extinct. The twins climbed into bed with me and were like possessive partners on me. This is just making me lose my marbles. I just hope the girls are at least normal about this and aren't so touchy-feely. If one of them touches my butt, I will probably fight them. And who the fuck is that fifth scent or mate or whatever the fuck?

Eventually, I splashed my face with water from the sink. And I looked in the mirror. Some odd strands here and there, my makeup was clean from my face, and my neck was wet where the twins were stuck on me. I sighed, and then someone knocked on the bathroom door.

"Who is it?" I half turned to the door.

"... Rose..." I heard Anny say quietly. I blinked a few times, moved to the door, and opened it. She had bags in her arms. Selene was behind her. Neither could look me in the eye. I looked between them. Both of the girls I grew up with were red, puffy-eyed from crying. The three of us just stood there in awkward silence. I couldn't start a conversation. Anny was shaking with bags in her hands. Selene couldn't even look my way. These girls were really distressed. I stayed in place, looking at these girls, trying to figure out what to say. Then Anny grabbed me and hugged me, trembling, "I'm sorry,"

She repeated that, holding me, shaking.

"Anny?" I asked. She thunked her forehead against mine gently. She was shaking; she only did this when she did something she felt would ruin a friendship. She was terrified of losing me as a friend. I glanced at Selene. She was digging her nails into her arm. a self-discipline she always did when she felt self-hatred pile too high on herself. I know what they did wasn't worth forgiving, but if I were in their shoes, I would have done the same thing. I took Selene's hand; she flinched and looked at my hand with hers. Selene looked away, her other hand blocked view of her face. She's always been the silent and strong type, trying to look strongest as the next Gamma.

I managed to get the girls to sit with me on the couch in the twins' room, lying on the couch on either side of me, and they were lying on my lap. I know they weren't exactly clingy, but this is out of the ordinary for them. Still, at least they aren't- the door burst open, and the twins came in. I spoke way too soon.
