Page 81 of Twinning and Sinning

Heavens, don't make me go again.

My vision was still dark; I no longer knew if my eyes were closed or open. My mate's voices were faint, mere mumblings as I lay on the soft furs. "Sleep, mate," Dax's husky voice coddled into my ear. Dimitri's whisky smell came close, his legs intertwined with mine.

"We will be here when you wake," Dimitri nuzzled into my wet hair until I finally fell asleep in my mate's arms.

Chapter Forty-Three

Dimitri

Westayedinbedall day. Dax and I woke once the sun began to touch the trees again. We were both sore from using muscles we weren't used to, and we were ready to go again. Seraphina didn't look anywhere close to waking, not that we were expecting her to.

We bit her hard enough for her change. The human in her would be long gone, and half her body would become more adaptable to ours. If by a miracle, we did put a pup in her, there would be no issues, and she could give birth to either a pup or an Elf. Whichever genetics card our child wanted to throw at us.

My fingers trailed across her shoulders, my mark shown proudly on her right while Dax's was on the left. No male would be able to deny that she belonged to two Alphas. My fingers traced my mark, her body twisted, curling up next to me, nuzzling her nose into my chest. I smiled, playing with her tangled hair.

"Never thought we would be here with her," Dax's voice hung low. "I thought we were destined to be alone." I chuckled, making sure not to wake Seraphina.

"Dad waited one hundred and twenty-some years for mom; we only waited thirty. You are being overdramatic." Dax huffed and buried his face in Seraphina's hair. "She's going to be out for a while; she would probably appreciate one of us checking on her mother." Reluctantly pulling myself from Seraphina's arms, she rolled over and attached herself to Dax. He hummed contented, kissing her cheeks and down her neck. "No fucking her while she's asleep, that's weird." Dax rolled his eyes in disgust.

"I'm not into that. I need a willing participant."

After a quick shower and getting dressed, I glanced back over at Dax and Seraphina. She hadn't moved, and Dax had already drifted back to sleep with his head between her breasts. When she awoke, we weren't sure what we would find. Neither of us had heard of an Elf Wolf hybrid, so she would be the first. Seraphina was ours, and living with us for the rest of our lives would commence. She would become Luna of our pack, and what a mighty Luna she would be.

Heading down the hall, I passed two Wolves snickering. Mainly the popcorn and hotdog eaters that were rooting us on in the courtyard. If Seraphina knew what they were saying now, she would have buried herself in our rooms for days. "Hey, Dimitri," one warrior called over. Able was one of the closer Wolves to Dax.

"Everyone down here took bets how you guys would mark her…" Ables' hand scratched behind his head, blushing. "I told them they shouldn't, but I'm getting a lot of pressure because they want to know who won." Able was shifting uncomfortably, foot to foot, while the others stared in longing.

"I don't see how that is any of their damn business," I snapped out loud. "Would they like it if I asked what position they fucked their mates in when they marked them?" Wolves mumbled amongst themselves. Able smiled in relief. "Thank you, Alpha, that's what I had mentioned."

"Party pooper!" A younger warrior yelled across the room to Able. He smiled, throwing them the finger. "I know you both have waited for your mate; I'm glad you have given her the respect to keep that hidden. Many around here don't do so." Dax and I were one hundred years younger than Able; his baby face hid that quite well.

"Thank you, Able," I put my hand on his shoulder. "How about you go show how warriors of the Crimson Shadow’s how they should behave?" Able smirked, rubbing his hands. "It would be my pleasure, Alpha." Bowing his head, we both turned to our own devices.

While traveling down the hall, I could hear Able shouting. "On your feet, five laps around the territory at top speed!" Shaking my head, blowing out a breath, I was glad I was not a part of that run. The territory diameter was twenty-five miles; those few wolves placing bets would be hurting later.

The hallway to the infirmary was sterile. The halls no longer decorated with past Alphas, pictures of Bergarian, and the God Ares. The walls faded to white, and the disinfectant smell hit my nose harshly. Shaking my head from the burning smell, I find dad sitting on the nurse's station counter. His dark complexion compared to white walls was almost comical while he ate a piece of cheesecake.

"Hey, Dad," he looked up briefly then stabbed his fork back into the desert. He savored the flavor before swallowing.

"Why aren't you with your mate? You marked her, didn't you?" Dad's face contorted to confusion with a hint of anger. Dad was very possessive over mom, more so than any other mated couple I had ever witnessed. They say it was because of the beast inside him; his wolf, Torin, was hard to control and mom's gift of calming was the only way he could stay sated and not kill everyone.

"The best thing about being a twin, our mate isn't always alone," I shrugged my shoulders, leaning on the counter. "I'm actually here for Seraphina though, I wanted to check on her mother. She will want to know an update when she wakes up." Dad grunted, eating more of his cheesecake until mom walked out of a room, shutting gently behind her.

Mom was wearing one of her favorite sundresses, light blue, with a white ribbon tied behind her hair. The soft curls made her look younger than her own sons. "Hi, mom," I greeted her with a hug.

"Oh, Dimitri, what are you doing here, not with your mate?" Dad grunted again.

"That's what I asked him," he grumbled.

"I wanted to check on Seraphina’s mom. When she wakes up, she will want to know." Mom squirts some clear liquid on her hands, rubbing them together. I raised a brow.

"Hand sanitizer," she rubbed her hands together more until the liquid completely evaporated. "Humans get sick rather easily, and until Folen can mark her, we need to keep her as healthy as possible. Anyway," she straightened her dress. "You could have mind-linked, so you didn't have to leave her."

I groaned a little, shoving my hands in my jeans. "Last time I mind-linked you guys, I got an earful of things I didn't need to hear." Dad snorted a laugh while mom giggled.

"That was over ten years ago, Dimitri. I swear it was an accident." Dad grabbed mom, pulling her to his chest. He took a large fork full of cheesecake and placed it into her mouth, pulling it out slowly.

"Fuck," Dad whispered. The man has a raging hard-on all the time. It had only gotten worse when Dax and I turned five and were sent to school during the day. Once the babies were grown, their sex drive went up.
