Double Trouble

*ANTHONY*

Iwakeuptothe sunlight streaming through the window. In the heat of the moment, I forgot to close the blinds last night. Well, other things were more important.

It’s winter now, and although the weather is usually predictable for December, it seems like today we will be graced with sunshine. I should feel happy. I woke up to the sun; I have no classes today and am off work… no duties for the pack today. My life is simple and uncomplicated. I have loving parents and a great twin brother. I have friends; I have everything.

I swallow down the knot I feel in my throat. Breathing gets more and more difficult as I feel the darkness crawl through my heart.

I had everything.

Where the fuck are you!?

I startle when I hear my brother’s voice in my mind. That’s the downside of having a twin… they can always mind link you. I could literally be somewhere at the fucking north pole, and he would be able to mind link. In this case, he at least pulled me out of my pity party, so I should be thankful.

Why?I grumble, well aware he won’t shut up until I react. I turn my head a bit, eyeing the beautiful girl next to me. She is blonde and pretty cute. We met yesterday at the club. Part of me would love to meet her again, but I never fuck the same girl twice. I don’t want to get attached.

Are you fucking serious?Henry growls.

I can hear a third voice chiming in.Calm down,it says.We’re meeting in ten minutes. Anthony can still make it.

Another specialty of being twins is that we can also mind link with each other’s wolves and hear each other at the same time. It was weird as fuck at first, but now it just feels normal.

Ten minutes? Meeting?

You forgot!?Henry huffs.I can’t believe you.

Stop yelling,I mutter.I’m coming as fast as possible. Where are we meeting?

At the new coffee shop,Henry says, trying to sound calm, while I can feel his voice tremble in anger. He has always been bad at hiding his emotions, especially when he is pissed.

Unfortunately for him, I’m not scared of him one bit.

The mention of the coffeeshop rings a bell though.Oh, we’re meeting Elise and Elodie!I jump out of bed. Oh shit, I don’t want to be late for that. I actually like them. They are not just anyone to me.I’m close to the Council,I tell Henry.You can get going. We’ll meet there.

Henry sighs.You stayed the night out again.

Is that a question or an accusation?I ask while I hurry to the bathroom and take the fastest shower ever. I’m a pro at speed-showering. Then I slip into my clothes, sniffing slightly. Good, they don’t smell bad.

Neither, just a statement.

It’s never just a statement,I point out.

Can we stop arguing about that now?Henry says like he wasn’t the one starting it.

You cannot dictate my life,I tell him evenly.We’re both going to be alphas, and you being born thirteen minutes before me doesn’t mean you need to act like an older brother all of a sudden.It’s not fair, and I regret it the moment I say it. Henry hardly ever acts as a condescending older brother. For as long as I can remember, we always had each other’s back. I’ve just been in a bad mood recently. Ever since we returned from our mission to free a suppressed pack. It’s not Henry’s fault, though.Sorry,I apologize.That was shit.

I’m sorry too,he admits, making me grin. Henry never apologizes to anyone. Alphas, in general, don’t like to admit they are wrong, but Henry is even worse than the worst. I’m literally the only one who knows this side of him.

Aw, you’re cute,I tease.

Shut up, asshole.

I love you, too.I smirk.See you in ten minutes.

With that, I close the mind link, hoping he won’t push through it again, but fortunately, this time, he doesn’t. Before I can go, my eyes fall on the girl again. For a minute, I contemplate just leaving, but that would be such a douche move, and I try to never do it.
