Alpha Twins And Their Hybrid Mate novel Chapter 7

Wendy’s mother stayed on the patio talking with us for ages and I could see that she was looking at me strangely.

“Ella, sweetie. What happened to your head?” Darcy asked.

“Mom.” Wendy said.

“It’s alright. I just had an accident at home. I slipped in the bathroom and hit my head on the basin.” I said.

“Ouch. That must have hurt.” She said.

“Yeah. It did. But, it doesn’t anymore.” I said.

“That’s good.” Darcy said.

“So, you live with your mother and father, don’t you?” Wendy asked.

“Marilyn and Jack. Yeah.” I said.

“Marilyn and Jack?” She said, looking at me weird.

“My mom and stepdad.” I said.

“You call your mother by her first name?” Darcy asked.

“We’re not that close.” I said.

“I’m sorry to hear that.” She said.

“It is what it is.” I said, looking back at the ground, not wanting to see the pity in their eyes which I undoubtedly knew they were giving me.

I glanced over at the twins again and they were still sitting there in the same positions. They hadn’t moved an inch.

“Oh, you’d know the boys from school.” Darcy said, noticing me glance over.

“Yeah.” I said.

“Well, are you friends? Maybe I can invite them to dinner as well.” Darcy said.

“No!” I said, a little too quickly and enthusiastically. But it made Darcy stop immediately. “I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to snap like that.” I said, looking at Wendy.

“It’s alright. Mom doesn’t know about what’s going on at school.” Wendy said.

“What is it?” Darcy asked.

“The twins are just paying me a lot more attention than I actually like. I’ve asked them to leave me alone but they won’t.” I said.

“Oh. Okay. Well, I won’t invite them to dinner.” She said, seeming completely fine with that explanation. But I saw Wendy and Darcy looking at each other, almost the same way I saw Wendy and Ingrid looking at each other. Like they were having a conversation without saying anything to each other.

“What are they doing?” I asked Ava.

“It’s alright. They’ll talk to you again in a minute.” She said.

Ava was right. It was over pretty quickly but Wendy and Darcy noticed the strange look on my face and they just brushed it off, like it was nothing important.

When dinner was ready we went to the dining room and everything looked so beautiful. Even just the way the table was set.

I didn’t think people actually sat down and ate dinner together as a family. I thought that was something made up on TV.

As we were just sitting down a big hulking man in a suit came into the room and sat at the head of the table. He looked really intimidating and very strong with his muscles likely to bust his suit.

That made me wonder what the hell they were feeding the men in this town. So many of them were massive. A lot bigger than I had ever seen before. Especially the teenage boys.

“Oh, who do we have here?” He asked as he saw me sitting at the table.

“Dad, this is Ella. Ella, this is my dad David. And you can call him David.” Wendy said.

“It’s nice to meet you.” I said.

“It’s nice to meet you too. I heard that there was going to be a new girl in town. I hope Wendy is making this transition for you easy.” David said.

“She is. She’s been very nice to me.” I said.

“That’s good. How do you like Alaska so far?” He asked.

“It’s definitely a change.” I said.

“I think everyone says that when they move here.” He said.

“Were you guys born in Alaska?” I asked.

“No. We are originally from Montana.” He said. And I looked at him, really intrigued.

“Really? I would love to live in Montana.” I said.

“Why?” Wendy asked, skeptically.

“Are you kidding? I’d get myself a ranch. Raise horses or something out there. It would be really peaceful. Just something that I think would be a good life.” I explained.

I started to feel a little embarrassed as I felt them all staring at me, but none of them were looking at me like I was crazy. Darcy actually had a smile on her face.

“That sounds like the perfect way to grow up and to raise a family.” Darcy said. And I smiled.

They didn’t think I was crazy. That’s good. It was a step in the right direction.

“I couldn’t help but notice that jacket you were wearing when you got here. It seems a little worn and torn.” Darcy said.
