Mated to the Alpha Twins novel Chapter 11

The final bell pulled me from my hectic thoughts. I pulled myself from the empty teachers desk and wobbled over to the door. My legs felt shaky, and the sensitive spot between my legs was slightly sore.

It was a short walk to Tori’s locker and much to my surprise she was already there.

Tori’s first words had me nearly falling over.

“Woah, what the h**l happened to your neck?” Tori gaped, her eyes locked on something I couldn’t see.

“W-What?” I gasped and Tori stepped aside, gesturing to the mirror hanging on her locker door.

I stood on my tiptoes and peered into the mirror, choking on my own breath at the dark bruise-like spots that ran down my neck.

The f*****g twins had left hickeys all over me. There was no way I’d be able to hide this from Melissa, or the people at work. I never had hickeys before, but I knew they didn’t go away in 24 hours.

Tori pursed her lips and eyed me knowingly, “The twins?”

I clenched my teeth together and fought against the furious blush that stained my face. Apparently my reaction was a suitable answer.

“If I give you this, I want a detailed explanation.” Tori cocked her g****r eyebrow and held up a bottle of concealer.

“Deal.” I huffed, grabbing the bottle from her hands.

“Now explain.” Tori placed a hand on her hip while I flipped my hair forward.

I shook my head, “Not here. In your car so I can put this on my neck.”

We hopped in Tori’s car and she helped me dab the creamy liquid on my neck. It wasn’t the perfect shade, but it hid the spots just fine.

“I’ll pick you up one in your shade.” Tori nodded to herself, and I was forever grateful.

While I wanted to decline, I valued self preservation more. Frank would be incorrigible if he saw my neck coated in hickeys. Being called ‘s**t’ and ‘w***e’ would be the least of my concerns.

By the time I was done explaining what happened in the empty classroom, we were parked in my driveway.

Tori had been speechless the entire time, a look of shock lingered on her face.

“I’m horrible aren’t I.” I groaned, “Can’t even control myself.”

Tori shook her head, “I don’t think most girls would resist them either, myself included.”

“That’s the thing though, I want to resist them.” I sighed, confusion swirling within me.

Is that really what I wanted?

It had to be. It had to be what I wanted. A year from now I won’t be in this town anymore. Alec and Kade were players, the twins who took what they wanted. For whatever reason they set their sights on me.

This back and forth was exhausting, but I needed to make a decision and try to stick to it. Kade and Alec weren’t good for me. I had always looked out for myself, and now I needed to more than ever.

“Oh, almost forgot.” Tori grinned sheepishly, “I got you something.”

I pursed my lips and stared at her, “I don’t want it.”

Tori contorted her face into one of mock offense, “You don’t even know what it is. Tsk tsk, and I thought you liked surprises.”

“I hate surprises.” I raised my eyebrow at her, “You know that.”

“Well, that sucks for you but I happen to love surprises.” Tori smirked, pulling out a small box.

“Tori-” I groaned, but was cut off by the flaming red head.

“Listen here miss.” Tori glared at me, “You are going to accept my gift, and you are going to like it.”

I gave her one last weary glance and peeled back the bright wrapping paper on the box.

“It isn’t even a holiday.” I murmured grumpily.

“It’s give a friend a gift day, b***h.” Tori snickered, a grin playing on her lips as I looked at what was inside the box.

A phone; an actual phone. Not a chunky flip phone like the one Melissa got me. This phone was shiny and new, set with a huge screen and multiple camera’s.

I shook my head furiously, “No, not a chance. I could never afford to pay you back for this, and I can’t even afford my own phone plan.”

“You don’t have to pay anything back, Aurora.” Tori shook her head, turning the phone on for me. “And it’s already on my phone plan. Everything’s paid for.”

“Why would you get me something like this?” I frowned. It made no sense. Tori had only known me for a whopping total of two weeks.
