My Twin's Mate by Shivani Sharma (some good books to read .TXT) 📕

"Yes, Luna?"

“How long are we going to be gone?"

“For a week I think. This will be a great experience for you guys to learn the natural flow of the forest and how to learn how to catch the essence of it."

Some kid raised his hand "why are the other people going if it’s for the art club"

The teacher looked upset at that comment and answered "they are coming because the principle wanted them to learn responsibility during this trip"

We got the rest of the information regarding the camping trip and we each got a permission slip and a list of what we can and cannot bring. I dreaded this trip for two reasons. One I would have to leave my wolf and two I would have to spend the week with Kai and Samantha the schools popular, stereotypical, kids. This should be an interesting experience.

An hour or so after I got home from school my wolf appears at my side. I look down and see the worry in his eyes.

"It’s alright buddy I’m just a little sore. I have bad news in a couple of weeks I’m going on a camping trip with a bunch of other people. Almost all of them hate me so that shouldn’t be uncomfortable and I say that sarcastically. The worst part is that I can’t bring you with me." I look at him and see the sadness on his face. I know he understands me, he always does.

I put my head on the table losing my appetite. I look at him painfully and yaps at me a little then snuggle at my side comfortingly.

"I know you can fend for yourself for the week I hope. I have no one that would be willing to watch you. My parents are gone for the month and Lauren is on maternity leave. Please forgive me. I love you Ash" I kneel beside him and give him and tight hug.

I look at him and his eyes look forgiving and I relax instantly. I kiss him on the cheek then start to make dinner. I keep watching him make sure he was comfortable. I can’t believe I was leaving my only support system for a week. At least I was spending all my time that I could with him.

 The week after that went faster than I expected. My parents called my art teacher to confirm it was ok that I went on the trip. I was set and ready to go as much as I could be. I felt horrible my wolf licked me goodbye one last time and I was off to school dreading the whole way there.

When I arrived I caught a few hateful glares but I was used to the whispers and the looks. I signed in and started to load my things. My suitcase was really heavy from all my supplies for the trip. I failed at lifting it a few times then a stranger came to my rescue.

"Thank you so much I don’t know why it’s heavy." I looked up only to find the one guy that I had a crush on.

He smirked "no problem at all" he walked off and I stood there dumbfounded but I soon came to my senses and went to board one of the buses. I found a seat at the back of the bus. I put my head against the window and hoped that the week will fly by faster than the other one had.

I was upset when Luna told me that she was going camping and she had to leave me because the pet is not allowed to come with them. So I decided to follow her in my human form. She spent all the time she can with me, we go for a walk in the forest, watch movies and playing chase with each other.

She said goodbye to me and walk out of the house with her suitcase. I shift in my human form take my duffle bag and follow her making sure she did not see me. I head behind the tree and watch her. She was struggling with her suitcase as I was about to go towards her my twins come and helped her.

She thanked him and he only smirked at her. I feel my blood boil but I control myself for her sake.  Why did she have to be in the same school my brother was?  I hate him and my parents to abounding me in the forest. I would be dead if it not for her who saved me and look after me.

But I can’t do anything, it’s not like I can tell her not to go to school or stay away from him, she didn’t even know that I am a Lycian and it’s frustrating me. Oh, how I wish to tell everything to her and hold her in my arms. I saw her getting inside to one of the buses and I follow her. I put the cap on my head to hide and take a seat closer but far away from her.

After some time I saw her fall asleep peacefully, I get a little closer to her and take the seat beside her and keep watching her asleep. Her heartbeat and slow berating lure me to sleep and I fall into sleep.

  I must have fallen asleep during the bus ride because we were here. I don’t know how I fell asleep it was louder than a construction site here. I look around and saw the beauty of the forest. I was mesmerized by it. I was last to get off and I head toward the van full of luggage. I could already tell that mine was buried between the cheerleader’s one thousand bags of death (their luggage) and the football team's gear. I sighed and started moving things around to find my bag. 

I heard a screech and looked up it was one of the preppies. "What are you doing that is designer and you’re scratching it. Watch watt you’re doing you freak" I kneeled there speechless my ears still ringing from her tone. I mumbled something that sounded sorry and kept rummaging around for my luggage. I spotted it. SUCCESS! I went to grab it then I got ambushed by the other campers. I barely escaped with my things. I scurried over to the teacher to find out what tent I was in.

I think the fates hate me. I have to share a tent with a shrieked and a few others. At least most of them were the artists but even they could get annoying. I quickly unpacked my things, grabbed a notepad and pencil and darted to the woods.

I was easily drawing and in my zone went I heard footsteps my way. I looked up expecting ash.

"Ash, Is that you? I thought you were hunting......" I trailed off when I remembered where I was. I looked around and found that Kai was looking at me like I had a third eye.

"Umm I’m sorry I thought I was alone" I tried to find a good excuse as to why I was alone at the time but he didn’t seem to notice.

He looked at me with interest “who is Ash?" I looked at him closer surprised.

"Oh um he is a wolf I know. I forgot that I was here normally he watches me draw and he sometimes hunts. Why?" 

"Well since you called me Ash I wanted to know who I was thought to be" I started blushing. I slowly got up and dusted myself off. 

"Maybe we should head back I heard the dinner bell" I finally found an excuse to leave and I started to head toward camp. I heard his footfalls behind me but I didn’t look back afraid that I would get a hateful glare from him. I could stand the glare of anyone else but him.

When we arrived I sat down at an empty bench with my food in hand. I ate quietly and looked around examining who was eating. I caught Kai staring at me but I didn’t read too much into it.

After dinner, the art club got the assignment that would have to be done while we were at camp. They didn’t look too hard just some painting and drawing with a few things here and there. The night came quickly and I fell asleep with thoughts of  Ash and Kai on my mind. I noticed that it was colder without Ash to warm me.

 I pace around the forest in my wolf form a lot of things going around my mind which I make uneasy. I don’t like how Kai coming closer to her. Maybe he realized that Luna was our mate and he wants to win her heart to win her.

Has a twin’s we have to share the same mate because the moon goddess has tied both of our string at the same time with our mate which did not give the pleasure to have her alone to myself and it makes both my wolf and Lycian uneasy. They don’t like and want to share her with anyone especially him.

 Why the moon goddess? why? Why are you doing this to me? Why did you throw all the pain in my life? I ask mentally while looking at the moon. I walk towards Luna’s camp and saw her sleeping peacefully in her sleeping bag. I walk towards her and laid beside her. Her intoxicant smell calms us down.

I am not going to share my haven with him at any cost no matter what I have to do with that I fall fast asleep hearing her slow heartbeat and even breathing.
