Angel Blackwood (52 page)

I lean in, kissing him
gently on the lips. “Have you seen your brother?”

He leans down and kisses
me again. “Right over there, babe.” I follow his line of sight and
find Tyler watching both of us. Our eyes meet and I can’t help but
shiver. All I see is love and possession. Talon lets go of me and I
walk back through the dancing crowd to where Tyler stands on the
other side; our eyes never looking away. He reaches out to me
before I even get to him, pulling me close and holding my face in
his hands.

“I can’t describe how beautiful
you look tonight. There’s no word to describe you.” He runs his
nose across my jaw, followed by his cheek as he nuzzles my neck and
breathes me in.

“Don’t think I’ll ever get over
how perfect you look in a tux,” I say softly.

“I’m not perfect, baby. Far
from it, as you know”

“You’re pretty damn close to it
though.” I smile and he lets out a small laugh.

“I love you,” he says.

“I know,” I say before I kiss
him.

****

Just like the pack ceremony,
the mating one involved biting and a whole lot of talk from a big
book, in a language I didn’t understand. I’m not sure the twins
knew either, but they gave nothing away.

The pack created a huge circle
and my mother, father, the twins and I had to stand in the middle.
My mother stood firmly at my fathers side, tears of happiness
falling down her cheeks as my father read the scripture to us.

Talon stood behind me and Tyler
stood facing me.

Instead of biting my wrist, the
twins had to bite my neck. I stood between the two of them as they
latched on and bit.

It felt as if I had been in
their shoes. I got to see the way they see me, I got to feel what
they feel for me. It only cemented my complete and utter love for
them. In turn when I had to mark their necks, they too got inside
my head and were able to see my every memory of them. I know that
any doubt they may have had in their minds about my love and
complete devotion to only them is no more.

They are my soul mates after
all…

****

Later that night after the
festivities died down, the twins came back to my room.

I guess they could feel my
nerves because Talon pulled me into his arms

“You don’t have to do
anything you don’t want to do, babe,” he whispered, running his
hand gently over the bite mark he left on my neck.

I look over to Tyler and
see the sadness etched on his face. I call him closer and he sits
next to his brother. I lean over and kiss the spot where I made my
mark earlier. I know he’s blaming himself for me feeling this way
right now.

“I’m just not ready right now,”
I say. They both know I’m taking about sex; sex with either of
them.

Tyler looks distraught as he
chokes out, “I’m so sorry…”

“No. Stop.” I place a finger
over his lips as Talon holds me a little tighter around my
waist.

“You haven’t ruined me, Tyler.
I want both of you just as much as you want me. Just… Just not
tonight.” I look back and forth between the two of them.

“We’ll wait forever if we have
to. As long as you’re ready, Angel,” Talon says, gently reassuring
me.

I look to Tyler then back at
Talon, “Can we just lay together tonight? Can you hold me like you
held me last night?” I look to Tyler, a smile finally forming as he
pulls me from his brothers arms, earning him a small growl from
Talon.

“Of course, baby,” is all
he says as he nestles me over his chest and holds me close. Moments
later I feel Talon climb in bed behind me, holding me
tight.

Epilogue

My parents have never given me
a reason for the current war between a rival pack and ours. The
twins confessed that they knew that it had something to do with me.
Somehow word got out about me being the first half human, half
werewolf born. Some people aren’t too happy about that. However,
our pack is tight and the twins and I are closer than ever. I know
my pack and my mates will always have my back. Even though I know
Drake is still on the loose, I feel safer now than I ever have
before.

There has never been an
previous occasion where twins were made joint Alpha’s of a pack.
This case is rare in all its entirety, but there’s also never been
a half-witch, half-wolf Luna either. Each step we take is a
learning experience for all of us. The pack are worried that once
the news travels about our pack being run by two Alpha’s, that it
will cause an uproar among other leaders; especially as two Alphas
are stronger than one. My father doesn’t seem too worried though,
he knows the twins will be strong leaders… Well, he did teach them
all the tricks of the trade.

Now that the twins have taken
over the position as Alpha, they’ve been really busy. I’m still
learning how to be as good a Luna as my mother was. She and my
father are visiting friends in another pack at the moment, I think
that was mom’s idea though. My father tends to forget that he no
longer is Alpha, that he’s got to trust that the twins will take
what he taught them and act accordingly. I think they’ve been doing
a great job so far. They were born for this. Many of the pack
members would agree.

My cellphone ringing breaks my
thoughts. I look to my side, seeing the light flashing and
Phoenix’s name lighting up the screen.

I look over at the beautiful
moon lit lake as I answer.

“Hey, Phee.”

“Angel, where are you? I’m at
the pack house and you’re not here? We have to talk!” She sounds
panicked.

I pull my feet from the water
and pick up my shoes as I start running towards her. “Wait there,
I’m on my way”

I run all the way through the
bushes and into the clearing. I spot Noelle’s car as Phoenix comes
rushing out of the house and towards me.

“What’s going on? Are the
rogues attacking? What’s happening?” She doesn’t say anything,
instead grabbing my hand and pulling me into the house towards the
office.

The twins are already standing
at the doorway, each coming to my side and taking a hand.

“What’s going on?” I ask, my
voice trembling with worry.

Noelle turns around, her face
all teary eyed. “We found him, Angel… We found him,” Noelle
says.

“Drake. You found Drake?”
I look back between the people that stand in the room. Why are they
crying if they’ve found him? I don’t understand.

“No, not Drake… James. We
found James. He’s not dead!” Noelle blurts out and starts
smiling.

About Sophie Summers

I kept my
writing a secret for so long, not wanting anyone to know about this
passion of mine but eventually all those stories needed to be put

imagination.
