Mated to the Alpha Twins

Read Mated to the Alpha Twins [by Jane Doe] Chapter 77 – The inside of the cabin matched the outside. It looked as though it had been plucked from one of those home improvement TV shows Tori loved to watch. Judging from the kitchen with its stacked oven’s, touch-screen refrigerator, and mini bar area, it was most certainly a luxury cabin.

The interior held earthy tones, mostly browns and a few different shades of red. The sectional in the center of the cabin was big enough for an entire family, and the flat-screen mountain to the far wall was the biggest I had ever seen. Plush pillows sat on the sectional, and I resisted the urge to throw myself onto them, happy to sink into the soft material. I ogled at the brick fireplace and the hand carved mantle that sat above it, grinning when I spotted a few framed pictures of the twin’s and their parents.

They looked like the picture-perfect family, and for once, there was no twinge of pain in my chest. I was happy the twins had this incredible life, that they were surrounded with people who loved and respected them. Just because I had a crappy upbringing, doesn’t mean I wished it on anyone else.

Alec and Kade stood in front of their parents, s**t-eating grins on their faces which made me wonder what they had previously gotten into before taking the photographs. Their parents shared a look in one photo, a look that told me they knew exactly what Alec and Kade had gotten into. It was silly and kind of cheesy, but cheesy in a way that makes it more sentimental.

Alec cleared his throat, and when I turned around, the two of them were just a few feet away. Both were frowning as they caught me looking at their family photos. “We can never understand what you went through, living with Melissa and Frank, but you’ll never have to experience that again.”

“You’ll never have to want for anything, and you’ll never have to live in a shithole like that again. Whatever you need, you’ll have it.” Kade continued, a look of equal sincerity on his rugged face. It was incredibly alluring, to have two strong men with a soft spot for me. Only I got to see them like this, vulnerable and intimate.

In their emotions, I could taste the sharp tang of guilt and knew they both punished themselves for the way I was treated. I couldn’t place a single ounce of blame on their shoulders. I had kept my treatment a secret, thinking there was no one to help, no one that cared. I even kept the whole Grace ordeal a secret. I hadn’t a clue what secret world lived beneath my own, and if anything—I regretted not speaking up sooner.

Their whirlpool of emotions had tears springing to my eyes, which I furiously blinked back. I had never been a fan of crying in front of others, no matter how comfortable I was with said person. Crying—it made you vulnerable in a way that made me uncomfortable.

Mistaking my sudden rush of tears, the twin’s shifted on their feet. I let out a garbled chuckle. The two of them, they didn’t know how to handle a crying female, it made them anxious. Two towering warriors, brought to their knees over their emotional mate.

“Don’t—don’t cry, sweetheart.” Kade grumbled, his dark brows knitted tightly together. I stepped into their arms, a hidden smile on my face as I stole their warmth and scents.

“We didn’t mean to upset you.” Alec chimed in, his rough hand brushing the stray hairs back from my face.

“You didn’t upset me.” I giggled, quickly swiping at the stray tear that managed to escape my eye. Once I was sure all traces of tears were gone from my gaze, I looked up at the two of my beautiful mates. “I’m just—really lucky to have you both. I don’t want you blaming yourselves. None of it is your fault. I kept it a secret because I didn’t think anyone could help.”

“We could’ve told you the truth, doll.” Alec shook his head, his lips set in determination that only made me pull him closer. “We could’ve told you the truth and put a stop to it all.”

“If you had told me the truth, I still would’ve run. Especially if you pressured me into going with you both.” I told the two of them honestly, “I wasn’t ready for the truth. I think—I think Garrett did me a favor by telling me. I needed to decide what I wanted for myself, and the two of you let me do that. You gave me a choice. That’s more than anyone else has ever done for me.”

I stayed locked in their arms until the bitter edge of their guilt faded. It would never completely vanish, that much I was certain of. A part of them, no matter how small, would always blame themselves for how I was treated. All that mattered is that I reminded them of the truth. They had no hand in my treatment, but they had a hand in my saving. The human life I had lived was wrought with danger, constantly tip-toeing around Melissa and Frank, waiting for the day Frank got the upper hand. This life, while it is just as dangerous, is beautiful. No life is perfect, but it’s the flaws of the people you love who make it more authentic—who make it worth living.

“While I’m not opposed to keeping you in our arms all day, I think you should check out the bedroom.” Alec murmured, his chuckle tickling my ear and making me shudder. “The second part of your gift is in there.”

As I looked into his eyes, I couldn’t mistake the flash of hunger that lingered in those dark orbs. That same flash was mirrored in Kade’s eyes, but I knew they were being patient.

“Upstairs, down the hall. It’s the first door on your left.” Kade chimed in, giving me a gentle push. “We’ll have dinner ready by the time you come down.”

“Do you two have any flaws?” I snorted, stopping halfway up the stairs. Both cocked a dark eyebrow in my direction, and my insides fluttered at the identical smirks that formed on their faces. “Cooking and cleaning? I’m one lucky Luna.”

“Actually, we’re ordering pizza.” Alec chuckled, flashing me a smile that was all teeth. “We’ll save the cooking for tomorrow.”

“I’m going to have to thank your mom sometime.” I snickered, poking my tongue out at the two of them. “She raised the two of you right.”

“Please, don’t.” Alec groaned. The twin’s shared an incredulous look with one another before turning back to me. “She’ll never let us hear the end of it.”

“You might want to get up there, sweetheart. Your gift won’t appreciate waiting so long.” Kade called out, waltzing into the kitchen.
