Mated To The Twin Alpha Heirs
Mate!

"Why didn't you tell me?" Baron asked me for the tenth time that day.

After my confession, the rest of the event had gone by in a blur. Baron and Aaron had walked up to me and while I was scared of what Aaron had to say, I could not melt into Baron's arms because his look too had scared me away. For a second on that field, with everyone watching, I thought the boys would lash out and go all angry at me. But to my surprise, Aaron had been gentle, trying to ask why. Baron realized this and pulled me closer to his side, narrowing his gaze suspiciously at Aaron.

They both had a very heated argument that even the Beta could not interfere in. Most were scared of the Salvatore boys and the power they held as the Alpha's sons. Even though I suspected Beta Mark might have been able to do something, he was still uncertain on how it would end for him and so he'd remained as a spectator, watching like the rest of us.

Even when busybody Katelyn had pried in, trying to pull Aaron away, both of them had pushed her aside roughly and continued fighting. Fighting over me. I was so embarrassed that I settled to the ground and wept loudly in my palms. Baron had finally won the battle and picked me up bridal style and left the premises. But I couldn't stop wondering what had changed for Aaron so fast. He was willing to help me. To protect me? Why? Just this morning, he'd hated me. Even the boys had looks of pity on their faces for me.

"Answer me!" He yelled.

I flinched, tears welling. "I'm sorry. It's just that I-I don't know."

"You don't know?! You don't know you're wolf-less or you have no idea you'll be caught? Which is it?"

Before I could say anything, the door opened and the boys came in. I was surprised to see them, I could not remember the last time I had them come into my room.

"What are you doing here, Aaron? Don't tell me you brought your brothers to come taunt her because I won't let you." Baron threatened.

"Just shut up, Baron. I'm not here for you." Aaron retorted.

Lucas and Zach walked up to me. They had guilt masks on. They sat close to me, saying nothing for few minutes.

"What do you want?" I asked. I was not going to be rude to them, but I needed to know why they were here.

"I'm sorry." Lucas was the first to speak.

I turned to look him. More tears blurred my vision. I remembered going to him for help but he'd turned me away, brushed me off like I was nothing. But here he was, trying to make up. "I'm sorry too."

I shifted my gaze to Zach, blinking my eyes and letting the tears fall. Where were they when I needed them? If not for Baron's presence, I'd have been eaten alive by those mean students. They ignored my existence, pretended I was nothing to them and now they were here.

"Why?" Was all that came from my lips. My shoulders racked with violent sobs.

Lucas took one of my hands in his. Oh Lucas! I've missed you all so much, I said inwardly. I had thought they would have more reasons to mock me but they had totally done the opposite. They were here, sympathizing with me. "Get out!" Baron ordered.

"This is not your room, Baron." Aaron spat at his brother.

"No it is not, but I have the rights and unlike Katherina who is soft hearted, I remember vividly how supportive you were when she was accused of thievery." He sneered, making emphasis on 'supportive', indicating, without words, the sarcasm and accusation intended.

And he was right. I was not supposed to be too quick to forgive them, but I couldn't resist them as they walked in. I had felt this connection with them from the onset and even after the whole phone incident, I still felt it. No matter how many times I tried to tell myself I was okay, I was not. Yes, I was fine with Baron and I felt very connected to him too. He was like my savior and I wished he would stop this clash with Aaron and become one with them, I'd be glad to have all five of them to myself.

"That was a hasty decision on our part, and we're here to do the right thing, unlike you who never seem to want to do the right thing." Aaron accused.

"Are you kidding me? Without me, who would have had Katherina's back when you all were so quick to judge and condemn her?" Baron was getting angrier.

"Save that for who doesn't know you, Baron. You are treating Katherina nice because you're here for revenge."

I was surprised. Revenge? Then why me? "Revenge? What revenge? I get the fact that you both are not happy with each other but what do I have to do with it? I was not even here when it all started."

Aaron turned to me. "Baron played his cards right. When he said he came back for me, I didn't get it then but now I get it."

"I don't understand. Get what? What are you trying to say?"

"Don't listen to him Katherina, he's just looking for a way to make me bad before you while he tries to play the hero, forgetting he was supposed to be there for you when you needed him." Baron put in, glaring at his twin brother. I was utterly confused right now. What was going on? What was happening? What were they trying to say?

"Shut up Baron and let me speak if you're not scared of me revealing the truth."

"What truth, Aaron?" Baron snickered tauntingly.

"You're a smart one Baron, I'll give you that. Spotting it before I could and taking advantage before I realized. But I tell you Baron, this is where I draw the line, do not cross it." Aaron warned.

"What is going on both of you?" I was getting exasperated, my emotions were all over the place.

"Yes Aaron, what is going on? I thought you said we came to apologize." Lucas asked, he too was confused as was Trenton and Zach.

"Go on, Aaron." Baron taunted further.

Aaron growled. "Do you really want me to tell Katherina here that you decided to use her to get your pound of flesh for what happened years ago? Do you also want me to tell her that you chose her because you knew she was my mate?" Blood drained from my face and I could only gape at the twins.
