« More chicken wings ? » She shakes her head.

« Nope. None for you anyway » I huff.

« Rude. »

« I am » she smiles non sweetly and walks away.

~~

‘Kids outside now’ dad mind links, I sigh and walk downstairs and outside.

I stand next to Cara and Alessandra comes out and stands next to me.

A bodyguard comes out of a black Porsche and smooths out his suit and readjusts his glasses.

Vain

A man that I’m assuming is the beta steps out of the car, he has blonde hair and he’s alright.

He sniffs the air and quickly walks over towards us, he walks to Mira and shouts « MINE ! » He wraps her in his arms and she hugs him- smiling.

Another man gets out of the car with brown hair, tan skin, hazel eyes, he’s attractive too. I’m guessing he’s alpha Hale.

He sniffs the air, I wonder if he smells the chicken wings I ate this morning…. He walks over to us and sniffs Cara, he walks past her and is about to sniff me when his eyes snap to Ale.

They look into each others eyes and I’m guessing they are mates already…, he pulls her to him and roars « MINE ! MINE ! »

She hugs him back and I tap my foot on the dirt « your human ? » She nods.

« So do you want to start the business deal ? « alpha Hale asks.

« No need. I was going to ask questions about you wanting a treaty, but since your my daughters mate then of course. It’s settled » they shake my hands.

« I would like to talk to my mate » dad nods and she follows her mate.

« Wow. Dad two daughters have mates » I say, he smiles.

« You boys really need to find your mates » mum mutters.

« No need » Bailey waves it off.

« Payne please tell me your not like him because you’re twins » mum says.

He smiles « I am like him but I want to meet my mate, I will be searching for her very soon » he says and mum sighs in relief.

« Well I’m going to my room » I say and walk away.

I hear a door slam and I follow the sound and see it was Alessandra’s room.

I knock then walk in.

« So how’s your mate ? » I ask and sit on her bed.

She shrugs « a pain in my ass » I raise a brow. They seriously only just met and she’s complaining ?

« You only just met him Ale » she shrugs.

« I know I did and he’s already a pain in my ass » I look around not knowing what to say.

« Do you want to talk about it ? »

« How do you know something happened ? » She asks curiously.

« I don’t » I say opening a bag of original salt chips.

She doesn’t say anything and I sigh dropping the bag of chips on the bed, I dust my hands off to get rid of the salt partials and grab Alessandra’s hands.

« I can help. Tell me » she bites her lip.

« There’s not much to tell. He basically rejected me but didn’t at the same time, I honestly thought he was going to accept me but he didn’t » she shrugs.

« HE WHAT ?! » I roar.

« He basically rejected me » she nods.

« You should tell mum and dad » her eyes immediately go wide and She shakes her head furiously.

« You must not tell anybody. I honestly don’t know what to do because if I don’t go back with him then they will know something is up, Mira will be going with her mate so that means I have to go with mine. »

« Is he using you ? » She nods.

« He said that I will make the pack and him stronger. » I growl angrily.

« Don’t go with him » I say.

« I have to Lainey » she says softly.

« You have a choice though, sure dad might think somethings up then tell him. Him and mum had problems, I’m sure he’d understand » she shakes her head with a fake smile.

« It isn’t that simple » I sigh and prop my elbow on my thigh leaning on a hand.

« Your gonna have to tell them some day Alessandra » She shakes my head.

« No I won’t. »

« Whatever » I mumble and stand up.

I pat her back and walk out the door, closing it behind me leaving her to her problems.

Dads gonna have to know but I guess if I was in her position I would do the same thing.

So I see where she’s coming from, I close my bedroom door and smile when I see Alessandra running and alpha Hale chasing her.

He tackles her and I shake my head amused then look away, I need chicken.

I walk out of my room and downstairs to the kitchen, I open the fridge and grab some left over chicken wings.

Alessandra walks into the kitchen and hugs me tightly, I quickly shove the piece of chicken in my mouth and hug her back.

« Call me and text me Ale, I’m serious » she nods.

« Bye » I get back to my chicken wings.

‘Her mate must be bad’ I nod at what Sam says.

‘Must be.’

« Damien calm down » I hear mum saying.
