Chapter 5 Mate

Opening her eyes she looked around the room in confusion as she recalled running in the woods and then blacking out with no further idea as to how she got here, or had she caught her? She wondered.

The wooden walls of the room were rough and plain with a thick scent that filled the air, although it was calming for some reason, she gently rode up the bed but hissed in pain from the sting she felt on her lower abdomen, she immediately wondered if the child in her was alright but for some reason, she knew it wasn't there anymore and fell into a sullen mood.

Just a few days ago she had been happy to be pregnant and determined to bring the child, not the world just for things to take a dark turn. Her mind remains clouded in confusion and despair as she thinks of the entirety of the previous events that had led to now while looking around the room.

She finally had the strength to sit upright. She observed the room wondering if she had been captured by the rogue leader and a fresh wave of terror flowed through her veins, she gently placed her feet on the cold wooden floor as her eyes searched around the room for an exit.

Just outside the room she heard a door click and footsteps followed, her tension heightened as she desperately looked around for a means to escape, there was no other place to escape than through the door, she approached it and reached out for the handle, her breath hitched as she shit her eyes.

She paused hearing voices on the other side- deep voices that went into another wave of fear that could cripple her.

"I swear if she's hurt--"

"We have to give her time, we have no idea what she has been through."

Therk words seemed to spark a sense of dread within her, and who were they? Were they somehow related to the rogue leader? How long had she been unconcerned? Different questions roamed freely in her mind but she didn't have the answer.

Slowly turning the knob, she opened the door and dashed out as fast as she could but bumped into a man, she turned around and dashed into the room she had just come out from but bumped into the same mind, she was stunned by this and wondered what in the hell was this witchcraft? She picked herself up again but the door was blocked by him bringing her to a halt as she looked back and forth, realizing the two men were identical twins.

They were tall, muscular, and had dark hair like a wolf mane, their skin was also dark and shiny. Their eyes were piercing blue and for a moment Ivelle was awed by this beauty and seemed to have melted in her world.

"You shouldn't be running around you know." One of them said taking a step towards her with a mixture of surprise and concern. "It's a good thing you're finally awake.

"Are you alright?" The other twin asked, although his tone was gentle, his gaze was dark and domineering, sending. Chills down her spine. "You had us worried."

Ivelle backed away from them as her instincts were telling her to flee but she was all caught up and had nowhere to run to. "Get away from me!" she screamed, her voice trembling. "Who are you?"

The rewind exchanged a glance as their expressions shifted from shock to understanding. "You need to remain calm Mia Cara."

"Someone help!" Ivelle continued to scream. "What the hell are you two trying to do to me? I have no idea how I got here or what you have done to me!"

"You were attacked and we brought you to safety so remain calm." The soft-faced one replied to her.

"Safe?" she looked between them. "How can it be sure I'm safe when you could have-"

"We're not that way." The soft-faced one quickly defended. "We're different."

Ivelle could not believe what he was saying and turned to look at his twin who had an aura of authority, staring at him she realized he was the one who had saved her as memories began to stream through her head.

"Have you no trace of your memories? Do you recall me?" He asked with a softer tone while slowly walking towards her.

"Not really," she admitted, feeling a wave of vulnerability wash over her again.

"You're safe so you have nothing to fear." He assured her but she didn't seem to buy that idea so easily.

"Safe? I don't even know who you two are." she stared at both of them.

"You're in our territory, Ivelle, so be assured that you're protected," he assured her.

"Territory? How can you bring me into your pack without my knowledge? " She was even more tensed and scared as she gazed at them.

"It's because you're our mate." He revealed.

"What?"
