Skye dreaded the next couple of hours of her life, and some may look at her and see what could pass off as an imitation of a zombie, but it was safe to say that she was un-bitten and was just sleep-deprived. As for the reason as to why she was experiencing this tirade of thoughts, being in a white room, holding a pale hand, with barely enough sleep would suffice an answer for some. It was far too early in the morning, the sun barely even present in the dark sky, three days after his date with the Alpha, had seen her inside the emergency room with her sister who was wailing in pain and clutching her stomach. She had been sleeping peacefully in her bedroom when she was woken by the unusual thuds coming from the wall of the next room and all sleepiness left her mind instantly when she realized that it was his twin that was weakly calling out for help while banging the door with a rock that she had in her room that was supposed to serve as a decoration, a souvenir from her trip to the be
“Now, do you have any preference regarding this matter? Like the venue, the guests, or the food? Anything at all, just tell me or Hakan and we’ll do it.” Skye forced herself not to recoil against the surprisingly strong grip of Agatha on her hand, the elder woman’s excitement bubbling and almost drowning Skye’s feelings regarding the matter. Taking a small glance in her husband-to-be’s direction and seeing no help coming his way, Skye swallowed the remaining protests barely clawing out of her throat before facing the elder woman with a practiced smile, one that she had on the first time they had met. “I am not a person who likes extravagance, I will leave the preparation mostly up to you. Although, if it’s no trouble, I would like to commission my clothes by myself.” She was hoping that Agatha would at least agree to her one small wish, if there was one thing she could control during all of these, it would be what she would be putting on her skin. Agatha nodded her head enthusiastic
It took Zella two more days before she was discharged from the hospital and sent back home with both her and the baby safe. Frankly, it was Skye who was most delighted by the news, she needed her twin to talk to. It might sound callous of her but she has no one to talk to but her, especially now that she had a lot of things that she wanted out of her mind. “Are you sure that you’re okay? Should you be walking around? What about food? What should you eat so we could avoid this again?” “Hush, Skye. Your sister is all right. The doctor has cleared both her and little munchkin, they’re both gonna be fine.” Skye looked at her mother with a raised eyebrow before taking a glance in her twin’s direction, receiving a wide smile and a small head tilt for an answer. “Now, Skye go ahead and help your sister settle back into her room, take her bag too.” Sending another baffled look toward her parents, Skye picked up her sister’s hospital bag before slotting her arm against her twin leading her
Hakan was torn. He was debating with himself whether to stay with his betrothed or will this thing be considered inappropriate, but seeing that they were to be wed in less than a month if his parents and Skye’s parents’ time agreement goes through. Hakan finished his sandwich before carefully taking both his plate and Skye’s plate back to the kitchen, washing and drying it in the process. He returned to the living room a couple of minutes later, opting to stay in the room with Skye, not wanting to leave a sleeping and defenseless fiancée alone. Hakan managed to keep himself entertained by surfing through his phone and reading the available books that Skye’s family had in the living, for more than three and a half hours. Lunch was approaching fast for them and the alpha was so torn between ordering a meal for the both of them or cooking one, himself, in the kitchen. “Ah, fuck it.” A barely roared whisper escaped the alpha’s mouth as he silently made his way through the living room an
“You do realize that you’ll continue to get embarrassed the longer you hide in here.” Zella’s words were a dagger that sliced through the silent atmosphere inside Skye’s room, the elder twins’ eyes were lazily wandering around every now and then and would stop right on her twins’ crouching figure on the bed. “Shut up. How would I know that he’ll be coming here all romantic like that.” Skye growled back at her sibling, sending the elder a small glare before continuing to hide her tomato-red face on her pillow, the blue, five-foot-long teddy bear lying right beside her on the bed. “Go to the bathroom and wash your face, I’ll go down and tend to our guest while you calm yourself.” Zella pushed herself off of the wall before leaving Skye’s room, making her way back down the stairs, nodding at the Alpha’s direction before detouring back to the kitchen where she prepared something to drink for the Alpha. “Skye will be down in a moment, she just needed to wash her face. She wasn’t, well w
“All right. Food’s ready, one platter of cream pasta and freshly baked garlic bread for everyone!” it was unusual, to say the least, for the alpha to see this side of his betrothed. He had only seen her smile a couple of times during the days that they were together and even during Skye’s fun time in the amusement park dims in comparison. Hakan watched as Skye took both of their plates before giving them a serving with two pieces of garlic bread each before disappearing once more only to come back with a pitcher with red liquid and one with water before she went around the table pouring the both of them a glass. “Go ahead and dig in, I am just gonna check something back in the kitchen.” Zella stared at her twin with a knowing look before eventually starting to eat. Hakan followed after the elder twin while keeping his eye on the door adjacent to the room. “Don’t worry about her, she’s probably just cleaning around the kitchen before she eats. God forbid any of the things she used t
“Come on, Skye. Just a little more.” A nasty groan of pain erupted from the woman as her blue eyes stares right back to the pools of a dark abyss before a cry left her lips and she let her head fall forward, hitting her head on the table with the loudest ‘bang’ that had the two other occupants of room winced at the sound. “Skye,” the aforementioned owner of the name suddenly stopped banging her head on the table, only to look up and meet an almost identical, yet slightly bit darker-colored pair of her own eyes, “stop hurting yourself, please.” It was not a request but an order in the form of a request if how hard Zella was looking at her younger twin was any kind of indication. “But, who in their right mind, that is, would torture themselves learning this.” Hakan would have laughed because frankly speaking the scene in front of him was amusing to no end. He had been trying – and spectacularly failing – to teach and get his betrothed to understand the subject but to no avail, it seeme
The moment he had gone home, he knew he had fucked up. He didn’t know what had come over him but when he heard Skye’s words and how it was phrased, his wolf had come out even before he could suppress it and as a result, it had lashed out to the woman against his own will. Admittedly, he regretted the words that escaped his mouth the moment it happened. It was unbecoming of him, especially adding Zella to the conversation when the woman was just trying to help both of them. “I need to apologize to Zella, but god knows when Skye would allow me to ask for her forgiveness.” As far as he was concerned, how much he had grown to know Skye. She was the type of person who would hold grudges, especially against those she cares for, which unfortunately for him, was her twin, someone with whom he had lashed out with his uncouth mouth. Even if Zella did forgive him, a chance that he was slowly doubting by the second, Skye wouldn’t. He was sure of that, a hundred percent. She wouldn’t hear hi
