Mated to the Alpha Twins

Read Mated to the Alpha Twins [by Jane Doe] Chapter 108 – Dex reacted instantly, slamming on the gas as he swerved into the center lane. We narrowly missed a little maroon Buick, whose nasal sounding horn blared down the highway.

Before the vehicle could fully regain its balance, Carson lifted herself out the minivan and onto the ledge of the window. My heart stuttered a few beats as I heard the deafening sound of a gun being shot.

Bullets peppered the dark colored SUV that drove along side of us. They swerved to the right, but it seemed we weren’t the only ones with a bullet proof vehicle. The SUV veered right, trying to run us onto the shoulder.

“F**k.” Carson snarled, tearing the visor off her head and chucking it out the window. “They’re boxing us in. If you don’t act fast, Dex, we’re screwed.”

When Dex’s grip on the steering wheel turned white knuckled, I knew I wasn’t going to like what happened next. Dex lifted his head and eyed the four of us in the rearview mirror, his eyes straying to me last.

“Our orders are to get you to the drop at all costs.”‘ He said firmly, eyes locked on my own. Where I’m sure mine were wide with the adrenaline that thundered through my veins, his were strong and bright.

Even though I hardly knew this man, there was a sense of honor that was concrete within him. It guided his thoughts, his life, the decisions he made and the people he helped. I had no clue what Dex’s stake in all of this was, but I was surprised to find that I truly did trust him with my life.

My response was a yelp as Dex turned the wheel all the way to the left; hurling us through the right lane of traffic and towards the metal guardrail that led into the forest below. Everything seemed to slow as we clipped the front of one car, and tore through the guardrail like cheap ribbon. I could feel the impact in my teeth, and hear the crunch and scream of metal as it was torn to shreds. My stomach dropped as I saw the magnitude of the hill we were about to roll down, and the thick trees that seemed to sit everywhere.

I felt like a ragdoll in the hands of a child as the minivan we were in thundered over branches and stones, the p**s poor suspension groaning from the off-road trip. It was Kade who kept the seatbelt from strangling me as I was thrown forwards. Alec helped keep Tori in place, who was pale faced and wide eyed in the back.

The tree trunk that we clipped sent us careening forwards, into a roll that made me miss our previous position. I could feel something splash against my face, and smelled the brief but fresh scent of water as it mixed with motor oil and blood. It was a tree that stopped our decent, and forced the car to a stop. The horn of the minivan blared throughout the forest, loud and shrill as it told all nearby that we were here.

Blood rushed to my head, and a mix of crimson and onyx danced behind my eyes. Jewels of shimmering color, covering the world in a filter that seemed to move as I blinked and groaned. I had never been in a car accident before–but the feeling of having my bones crushed, it was one I never wanted to repeat. The seatbelt dug into my shoulder and waist. Glass was inches from my fingertips, which hung above my head and grazed the roof of the van. The van itself was upside down, the roof crushed from our roll.

“I’m going to get you down, doll.”‘ Alec’s voice was a whisper away, smoothing out my panic before it could take root. “Just hold still, this isn’t going to feel very good.”

My entire body quite literally protested as I heard and felt the click of the seatbelt, followed by gravity claiming me for itself. Alec lessened the impact, but any sensation sent pain skittering along my skin and bones. Glass dug into my skin, but was a mere afterthought with everything else going on. Half-blind with blood staining my eyes, I grabbed onto Alec’s hand and crawled as he helped pull me from the minivan. Once I felt the wet dirt beneath my knees, I frantically wiped the blood from my eyes with a dry piece of my shirt.

The van was a crumpled husk, a tin can that had been kicked too many times. Shimmering pieces of glass littered the ground, along with various scraps of metal. Alec’s strong hands kept me from stumbling forwards when Kade and Tori crawled from the vehicle.

“S**t, we need to f*****g go.” Dex grunted, spitting out a wad of blood as he hurried to the back of the minivan. The back window was shattered from the roll, making it easy for him to reach in and grab two backpacks filled to the brim. I went a little wide eyed when he wrenched open a duffel bag full of various fire arms and types of silver ammunition. It was somewhat comforting to know that despite his usual jolly demeanor, his intimidating looks weren’t just for show. He tossed one of the backpacks at Kade, and within seconds, was urging us to leave.

“Wait–” I stammered, stumbling to a halt when I saw the unconscious figure of Carson.

I hadn’t noticed her before, caught up in the adrenaline and pain. The seatbelt was the only thing that kept her from falling to the floor, but unlike the rest of us, she was unconscious. Blood fell in a thick stream from a wound in her head.

“No, Aurora.” Dex snarled, using a firm but gentle hand to urge me forwards. There it was–the purpose for his intimidating looks. I could see it in the way he towered over me, glowering as he urged me to move. Any sane person would have been frightened, but it wasn’t anger Dex felt. His grief and pain made my legs weak, but the unbreakable sense of honor within him let me know that Dex would complete this mission, no matter what he had to leave behind. “Her legs are pinned, one is broken. She understands the cost.”

I had a split second, just one to decide what I was going to do. There was no time for thought, so I acted.

“Don’t make me grab you, kid.” Dex warned, his eyes narrowing.

“Don’t f*****g think about it.” Kade snarled, and I took that as my chance to bolt.

I dug my feet into the earth, and turned on my heel. Dex hadn’t been expecting me to run back to where Carson was, but the twins did–they had seen in my eyes the moment I made up my mind. I half thought they would grab at me, drag me back and fling me over their shoulder as we escaped, leaving Carson to be m******d or worse.

Instead of making a grab for me, they ran ahead. Kade to the back of the van, and Alec to the passenger side. He kicked and tore at the door, finally getting the crumpled thing off after the scream of metal filled the air. Dex cursed and ran a hand over his face, smearing the blood on his head and cheek, before running to the twin’s side.
