《My Twin Mates》Chapter 1
Advertisement
You'll need to be on your best behaviour" My Father warns as he walks over to his office table; dark rings hang under his eyes and his usual combed hair was messy, revealing another sleepless night.
I inwardly sigh, as I walk towards the office table, I knew this sleepless night stemmed from the recent death of our pack member, and it didn't help that the anniversary of Mum's death was creeping around the corner.
"Who's coming Alpha" Andrew asks respectfully, he was always so formal even if the alpha was our Dad. He was next in line and I was looking forward to watching him rule.
"But he won't be better than Dad". Emma my wolf comments
"No he won't, no one can be better than Dad"
He took his time in answering, his fingers massaging his forehead, pain tugged at my heart I hated seeing him so tired and deflated.
"The two Alpha's from the Bloodmoon pack" He states calmly but the shiver that runs down his spine betrays his fear.
For a moment, the whole room falls into silence, before an argument quickly arises as my three brothers begin shouting at my Father and each other.
"What the hell" Daniel says indignantly, his fists are clenched, as he tries to reign in his anger. While Harry, the youngest brother takes a completely opposite approach to the news.
"They can't come here. They..they will slaughter us all" He takes a deep breath, trying to mask the panic evident on his face.
I wait for Andrew's input, he's sitting in one of the chairs around the desk. His eyes are unfocussed, as he begins creating a plan in his head. Slowly rising, he quickly shakes his head to regain focus.
"No they won't slaughter us" His voice radiates power and authority. "If the two Alphas' want a war, then war is what we'll give them"

Daniel and Mike, take a moment to process what he says, before an argument breaks out again and their voices rise to a clamour.
I couldn't be bothered listening to their argument, so I shift my attention to my Dad. He was leaning against his chair, his arms folded neatly against his chest as he waited for his sons to quit arguing, but his patience was slowly waning.
Like Andrew, my Dad rises from his chair and I look away, knowing what's going to happen next.
"Quiet" he roars, instantly grabbing their attention. "They're not coming here to start a war. They are coming here to find their mate"
"What" I shout at my Dad. "They can't, no, no, they can't".
My mind goes into overdrive as I try to process his words. I didn't want a mate. What if they come here and I'm their mate. No, that won't happen, I won't let it. Emma interrupts my train of thought,
"I hope they're our mate" she says happily. "I really want our mate"
'I don't..."
She cuts off the connection, ignoring me, before I can finish the sentence. The past year she had been ranting about how excited she was to find her mate, I didn't share her enthusiasm. Deep down, I did want a mate; I relished the idea of someone caring for me, protecting me.
However I worried, what if he was controlling and aggressive, what if he only wanted me to keep his wolf calm, most importantly, what if he rejected me.
When my Mum was alive, she always reassured me that my mate would love me no matter what; but she wasn't here anymore to comfort me.
So lost in thought, I didn't even notice my brothers standing protectively around me.
"We won't let them touch you" Daniel assures me

"Agreed" my other two brothers say in unison
My lips curve into a small smile, I was touched, but I wouldn't let them get hurt, if unfortunately they did end up being my mate.
"Maybe we can hide her" Andrew suggests, "Stay in the city for awhile". His eyes are unfocussed again, as he devises a plan in his head.
My smile widens with the idea, maybe I could avoid them altogether.
"Flick, we'll hide you in the human town" Daniel adds
"I'll start packing your clothes, we can leave tonight" Harry agrees as he walks towards the door with me and my brothers behind him.
"Stop" Dad growls, using his alpha command, with our heads bowed, we all return to the centre of the room.
'No one is going anywhere". He pauses for a moment, sighing. "I'm sorry Flicker"
Anger begins to rise inside me, how could my Father keep me captive here, didn't he want me to be happy. I raise my head and my eyes meet his in a defiant stare; but my anger immediately dissipates when I see the tears at the brink of his eyes. Taking a deep breath, I remind myself that my Father loves me.
"The two Alpha's know that I have a daughter, escaping or hiding, will only make them more aggressive. Which may result in them retaliating and destroying the pack."
My stomach sinks with dread, he was right; I could already imagine our entire pack lying in bloody ribbons as a consequence from my actions. I shudder in horror; I couldn't allow that to happen.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you" Andrew softly murmurs, taking the shudder as a sign of feeling scared rather than feeling immense horror.
"They're not going to be my mates, there are thousands of unmated females in the world. The moon goddess wouldn't be that cruel to pair me with them" I say to reassure my brothers and most importantly myself.
They nod their heads in agreement, but their faces still remain etched with worry.
Our Father dismisses us from the room and my brothers immediately start up a conversation on battle strategy; but as I leave, I can't ignore the unwanted thought lurking at the edge of my mind, what if the moon goddess did pair me with the two Alpha's?

Sanctuary
A girl searching for someone. A boy who lost his memories. A man from another world. A woman trying to prove her worth. Follow along as this unlikely group of people join forces to help each other accomplish their own goals in this non-epic fantasy adventure. Fair Warning: This fiction contains many of the well-known light novel tropes, though I try to give them my own spin. If you’re tired of them by now, you might want to keep away. There are no demon lords however, nor any end-of-the-world cataclysm situation that only the MC can solve. This story is more about different people coming together and helping each other out to achieve their own goals and objectives.
8 125Essentia Animus
Second Book of the Soul - Celesi Veil Trilogy When the living essence of three girls are put at risk, giving room for a second essence within themselves, even their hyper developed fantasy world might not be enough to contain their new found ambitions. Another story of another world, these three girls must adapt to their new essence, all while each is left to question if they are truly still even alive. While this story is a sequel of the previous story in the trillogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, taking place in a distant corner of a Celese returning readers will be otherwise incapable of recognizing. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for the previous book, in case that matters to anyone. This story takes place over two centuries after the events of Vitae Memorandum, when Celese had developed into an advanced world, improved to a point that it is much like modern-day Earth while still using the gift instead of technology. The Aethyx languages are still present in this book, and even English still exists in the world after the events of the previous book, but are much less of a focus after the same closing events of the previous book. What is instead important is how the ending events of the previous book had resulted in the start of the Instrumentation Era, and exactly how the gift translates in a modern-day sense. While this book is still effectively a fantasy world of its own kind of magic, it isn’t the classical medieval scene that would be typical for such a story. The laws of science still do not exist in Celese, but that didn’t stop it from developing into something that looks similar enough. Earth itself still remains present on the other side of the veil, and its previous exposure continues to shape and advance Celese into the world it has become. This story contains scenes exibiting mania and similar dark themes, as it goes to great length to explore concepts of life and death. While the degree of such themes should not be considered to be as serious compared to matters such as actual horror, the psychological depth is still siginifcant enough to be potentially concerning for people sensitive to matters of this nature, such as any individuals with concerns questioning matters of suicide, mental harm, or a variety of emotional injuries. While none of these subjects actually occur in the story, readers who are currently troubled by such matters may find themselves considering old wounds if they are especially capable of empathy while reading, which could lead to furthered emotional or mental stress. Readers with a high capacity for empathy may find themselves troubled by concerns regarding any potential lack of mental/emotional control as well as considerations regarding the meaning of death. Readers who appreciate subtle dark themes in a story may instead find this to be an interesting twist of the same idea.
