Mated to the Alpha Twins novel Chapter 9

Gym class was last, and I was completely dreading it. The Volleyball and Basketball lesson was still going at full force.

Luckily, I was placed on Autumn’s team.

“Just stay close to me, and when the ball comes run the other way.” Autumn chuckled, slamming her locker shut as we walked out into the gym.

“I appreciate that.” I nodded gratefully.

“And keep away from Grace, not that I think she’ll be a problem anymore.” Autumn shrugged.

My brows furrowed in response, “What do you mean?”

“You didn’t hear?” Autumn smirked, her eyes flickering over to Alec and Kade.

The two of them were in the middle of playing basketball, outrunning the other guys on the team with ease.

“Um, no.” I stared at Autumn impatiently.

“Apparently Alec flipped out on Grace.” Autumn shrugged, “And she went to Kade all upset.”

I ignored the strange pang that went through me. It felt oddly similar to jealousy. What was there to be jealous of? I didn’t own them, and I wasn’t dating either one of the twins.

Some small, hidden part of me mumbled incoherently.

“If they say that I’m theirs, that mean’s their also mine. And I don’t share.”

I ignored the small part of me burning with possessive jealousy, wondering where the h**l she came from.

“I’m guessing Kade was mad at Alec?” I shrugged, unable to keep my eyes from glancing their way.

“That’s the thing, Kade wasn’t mad at Alec.” Autumn shrugged, “He was mad at Grace.”

Another weird pang of emotion ran through me, and I felt somewhat smug. Grace was finally getting what was coming to her. Now that I thought about it, I hadn’t seen Grace hanging around Kade and Alec for the past few days.

“What even caused all of this?” I grimaced.

“No one knows.” Autumn shrugged, “But Grace has been pouting all day.”

Autumn was definitely right, Grace hadn’t caused a single issue the entire class.

Halfway through the class Autumn had gotten distracted.

We were in the middle of a Volleyball game and I stood in the center of the court. Autumn stood next to me, but as soon as the ball was served the Coach called her name.

“Be right back.” She shouted back at me, running towards the Coach.

Everything seemed to happen quickly, and I questioned how bad my luck truly was.

One girl served the ball, and another one hit it back to my side.

The ball was flying down towards my face.

The rest of the girls on my team reacted much too slow, staring at me with mixtures of sympathy and shock.

I couldn’t really explain what happened next. It was like a freak shot of adrenaline into my system, and I felt myself jumping towards the ball instead of dodging it.

I vaguely remembered the instructions the Coach gave the class on how to hit a volleyball.

Instead of feeling the sharp impact against my face, I felt it against my hand and wrist.

I had actually managed to hit the d**n Volleyball.

The rest of the girls on my team didn’t find it impressive, but I was reeling.

I had always been horrible at sports, never managing to land a single hit in any game I played. This was the first time I managed to land a successful hit, even if it was a one off.

“Great hit!” Autumn grinned at me proudly, and I couldn’t help but grin back.

“I can’t believe I did that.” I chuckled.

“I couldn’t either.” Autumn laughed, “I definitely thought you were gonna get hit in the face for a second there.”

“Oh I did too.” I laughed along side her.
