Chapter 4 Chapter 4

I smile, lean in and hug him. Even through everything, he stands there and helps me with my troubles. Saying he'll never be able to regain the months he lost with me, the days he lost, when my mother died.

I've never held him to it, but he's been by my side ever since. For my first period at thirteen, even though he didn't know what to do to he helped me through it, and then my first shift at fourteen. Where he stood by my side the whole time.

He has been my support since mum, and I couldn't thank him more.

"I love you Chloe, I don't tell you enough, but I do." He whispered in my ear.

"Dad, I know. You don't need to tell me when actions speak louder than words. You're the best dad anyone could ask for. I thank you for that." I smile at him, kissing his cheek before saying, "I'm so tired, I'm going to bed. See you in the morning."

Waking up and rolling over to find its 10:37 in the morning was a shock to me. I normally don't sleep in, and especially not on a weekend. I either train or go out with friends. I don't waste time sleeping.

My stomach grumbles as I roll out of bed, my big tee rolled up to my waist. Pulling down my shirt. I run my hands through my hair, at least it wasn't disgusting anymore.

Pulling open my door to find Samuel walking past. "Hey Samy, what's going on brutha?" I ask is a weird, guy sounding voice. He turned around and looks at me with his eyebrows raised.

"You sure are one weird chick." He says, the look on his face proved to me I was creeping him out. "I've known you since you were born, and I swear, you're getting weirder ever day."

As he tries to get away, I skip after him. "Oh Samy, I totally agree with you. I'm fucked up, but that's okay, cause I'm an alpha so everyone has to respect me." I say in a sing song voice.

"You creep-" Samuel starts to say, before I cut him off when I smell bacon.

"Yay, bacon." I squeal. God I love it, it's the candy of meats. So good.

I run into the kitchen to get some of that delicious meat candy I could smell. I grab a plate from the cupboard, before serving myself some bacon, scrabbled eggs, tomato and toast.

I walk out to the table, taking a seat and digging in. I practically moan when I taste the amazing flavour of the meat candy. There is so much candy in this world. Eye candy, meat candy, actual candy, and I'm sure there is other candies I just haven't found them just yet.

Sighing when I finish my bacon, I start the on the other food. I don't understand why food has got to end, like now it's all gone, what do I do?

I was half way through my plate when someone knocked on the door. I was about to get up when someone pulled the door open and the smell off a forest that had just been rained on wafted to me, overtaking the smell of my food.

I heard voices, but could catch anything, so I went to the front door. He was beautiful, I hadn't met him before, but I felt like I had.

I knew he smelt me, and look past Samuel, who had opened the door, to see me. "Hey gorgeous." Was all he said, as soon as he finished looking me over.

Samuel look back at me, and through mind link I told him one word. Mate.

"Samuel, go away please." I said, not taking my eyes off the gorgeous stranger.

"You sure Chlo?" Samuel looked at me, and when I didn't respond, shrugged and left us.

"Chlo?" He asked, testing the nickname. I rolled off his tongue perfectly. "Is that a nickname?" I just nodded. "What's your full name, honey?" He said, walking closer to me.

"Chloe." I said quietly.

"Chloe, it's perfect." My name rolled off his tongue perfectly. "When my brother said he found our mate, and left without her. I knew I'd like you instantly." He laughed, a perfect, harmonious laugh.

"What's your name?" I asked him, surprised at how shy I was acting.

"Mervin." He voiced huskily, and just then was it that I realised, that I had, twin mates. He must have noticed my expression. "I knew Jovan was an idiot not to tell you."

"I have twin mates?" I asked out loud, shit this was confusing.

"Yes, baby girl." Mervin whispered softly in my ear. I hadn't even noticed him lean forward.

"But I'm not a twin." I voice my confusion, I'm not a twin. Am I? I don't think I am. Wait, yesterday, my mate. He was the alpha. Oh shit.

"We're alphas honey. We only need one, and that one is you."

I stare at him in shock, letting his words sink in. I am meant to make two mates happy, and instead of having the risk of hurting one, I have the risk hurting two. Fuck.

"I think there's some sort of mistake. There has got to be a mistake." I said looking around like I'm trying to find something. "How the fuck did I end up with two mates?" I say quietly, angry and confused.

"It's okay, everything will be okay." He said soothingly.

"No, it isn't!" I all but scream in his face. "I have a pack to take over, and run. You both have packs to run. You both will get to run your packs and I'll have to sit in the background, doing fucking nothing." I huff angrily, moving away from him.

"Baby, baby. Look at me." Mervin sighed when I refused to look at him, softly grabbing my chin, causing sparks to explode on my face. My face heated up like the tomatoes I was eating earlier.

I looked up at him, and he was so close, I would only have to move my face a little bit closer, and I'd be kissing him. So, naturally, I did.

He is my mate after all.
