Alpha Twins And Their Hybrid Mate novel Chapter 9

I knew that something was going on that everyone was keeping a secret from me. No one wanted to answer my question about why they were so worried about Dean being here. I mean, Wendy acted like she had just met him while we were talking to him and then the twins were waiting for her to talk about him. How the hell does that work out? I didn’t know what to think about any of this.

The twins were still acting the same with me, they were sitting close to me and making sure that they could see me the whole day. But it was a lot weirder today.

Between classes, they wouldn’t leave me. At lunch time, they sought me out to make sure that they were sitting with me. But they weren’t saying much at all. But they were all looking at each other really weirdly.

I was starting to feel really uncomfortable during the whole day, but I don’t think they even picked up on that. Just giving each other weird looks. Like they always do. Having conversations without saying anything.

When school was over, I walked out the front of the building and I saw the Impala was still in the carpark, so I was going to sit and wait when Wendy found me out the front.

“What are you doing?” She asked.

“I was thinking about waiting for the twins.” I said.

“What for?” She asked.

“Because I wanted to.” I said, looking away from her.

She could tell that something was bothering me and I didn’t know where the twins were or what was taking them so long. They have been hanging off of me all day and now I can’t find them. What’s going on?

“Ella? Why don’t we go to the diner and get something to eat.” She said.

“Why?” I asked.

“Because I think we should talk.” She said. But I just kept looking away from her. “I know that I’ve been acting weird today. I’m sorry.” She added.

“What do you want to talk about?” I asked.

“I just think that you deserve an explanation for what happened today.” She said.

So I looked at her and I hesitantly nodded my head yes so we started walking over to Wendy’s car.

We drove to the diner and I walked inside and saw my boss standing behind the counter, but I wasn’t working today. But I walked behind the counter and I made two coffees for myself and Wendy.

We sat at the table at the back of the diner and Wendy was looking at me strangely.

She reached over and rubbed her finger along my jawline, rubbing off some concealer.

“I saw the cut on your head. I thought you had a slight bruise on your cheek. What’s this bruise from?” She asked.

“It must have been when I fell in the bathroom.” I said, looking down into my coffee.

“Why don’t you tell me what’s really going on?” She asked.

How the hell could I tell her what’s going on? Everyone at school already thinks I’m a freak. I don’t need them adding another label to it.

I really doubt anyone would feel sorry for me and leave me alone. It would just be more ammunition for them.

If my own parents don’t like me then why should they?

“You smelt of stale alcohol and cigarettes when you got in the car this morning. I know that smell wasn’t from you.” She said.

“What do you want me to say? There’s nothing going on. I don’t want any more problems than I already have.” I said.

“I can help you.” She insisted. But I shook my head.

“No. You can’t. I only have a year here. Once I graduate from school then I will be moving back to Seattle. I was going to see the twins this afternoon but I know that it was a mistake. I need to find a way to get them to leave me alone.” I said.

“I don’t think they’re going to.” She said. And I looked at her suspiciously.

“Do you know something that I don’t?” I asked.

“No. Just that I have never seen them act like this with anyone but you.” She said.

“And you don’t think that’s weird? Twins are both pursuing the same girl at the same time and neither of them seem to be competing. It’s like they want to share me or something. That’s not normal.” I said. But she didn’t seem too fazed by it. Like she saw it all the time. It was weird.
