Promised To The Alpha Twins – Chapter 5

After the incident with the strange wolves that appeared in the entrance and backyard of the house, Dub seemed healed and didn’t come near me again, although he also avoided me, and I didn’t return home until I saw Lia’s car parked. That’s how I survived the first week, between school, afternoon work, and full-time weekends, with the evasive glances from the twins, whom I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to have around or not; the only thing I was sure of was to stay away from Chloe and Liam’s girlfriend, Amelia, who now did nothing but observe me with hatred.

But my intentions were shattered after watching them play for no more than two minutes. Not only were they very skilled, but also quite strong and played rough. I swallowed hard when I saw them whispering to each other and sneering in my direction. Chloe took the ball to serve,

with such force that I immediately knew I wouldn’t have been able to respond to that serve even in a million years of hard training. However, when I threw myself to the ground in a hurry, I stumbled and still ended up hitting myself. I had saved my face, but not my head, which bounced with the same force as the ball had.
