Mated To The Twin Alpha Heirs
Comforter!

I could not stop crying, even when it seemed like a long time after the boys had left. The more I tried to stop, the more tears fell. I could not understand what was happening to me, the boys had tried to trick me into believing they had regretted how they treated me, but they had only come under the pretense of Aaron claiming to be my mate.

And what was making me more emotional was the fact that my heart skipped at the thought that Aaron was my mate. I had for a minute period felt my heart jived in joy, even though I could not understand why it would do that. It was not as though he liked me, not in any way. If he liked me, he would not have done what he did. He would not let me go through so much.

Baron who did not even know me was the unexpected savior. The one who had taken it upon himself to save me from these mean people who wanted nothing more than to eat me alive.

"You will be fine Katherina, you know you have to stop crying at a point." Baron spoke after being quiet for a while, and I understood he was being quiet because he wanted to give me the time I needed to cry out my emotions.

"I know, but I can't seem to. I'm tired of crying, yet the tears keep rolling out and down." I told him.

My face was buried in his body, he had his arm around me. He lifted my face from his body so I was staring into his face. "It's okay, Katherina. You will be fine."

I nodded, then raised myself to a seating position and used one of my big pillows to prop my arms. "I can not believe your brothers would go that far to deceive me, and I wonder what's in it for them? What other kind of humiliation have they prepared?"

"You don't have to let them be your headache. Don't give them too much importance." He advised.

"And to think I was willing to let them come into my life so easily, Baron. How pathetic does that make me?" Self-pity swamped me, I was on the brink of bawling my eyes again, but I stopped myself.

"I think they know that you have a soft heart, they were pretty confident you would forgive them without a single thought." He shrugged.

That just made me feel more stupid. So eager to forgive and believe people who had caused me pain. "If I had expected this from anybody, it definitely was not the boys. I did not expect this from them, Baron. Before you came, we had a good thing going. They had accepted me, cared for me and protected me, until that moment when that phone was brought out of my bag. I mean how? How had things gone so wrong in such a short span of time."

"People change, Katherina, and once you notice that the ones who used to mean so much to you have suddenly turned on you. They had hurt you in the worst way possible you would never have believed they could. Then you have only one thing to do."

"Which is?" I sniffled, wiping tears that were determined to fall.

"Harden your heart against them, and if you want to, seek revenge."

Revenge? I didn't think the boys had done something that bad that would require revenge. I stared at Baron wondering if we were still talking about me or if this was about him. About what he had going on with his brother. Also, his brother had made mention of using me as an instrument to getting back at him. Was this true? Or Aaron was just trying to get into my head? To make me turn against Baron and accept him back.

If this was true, then I did not know who Aaron was. I never did. That would be going too extreme, too over the top.

"So you don't have a wolf?" He asked, observing my face.

I bit my lower lip, not saying a word. It was of no use whichever I told him, either the truth or lie. Everyone now knew me as the girl without a wolf. That was so shameful and embarrassing, not forgetting I was seen as the first time school thief. A lot of things were going wrong with my life and I could not control it. My lips trembled, I bit it harder.

"I'm not going to judge you, Katherina. I'm just curious, you know." His tone was gentle and compassionate.

"I know. I just don't really like to talk about it. It's quite shameful." I told him, unable to meet his gaze.

"Okay, I understand. But if you ever need to talk about that part of your life, I'm here as always." He smiled at me.

I smiled back, feeling pain on the part of my lower lip where I'd bitten hard and drawn little blood. This was why I said I needed him to be with him. His presence and words always seem to make things better. He had helped me when the boys had left me. He had been there to beat away bullies and bad people.

"I know Baron, and I do not think I've appreciated you enough. Thank you Baron."

That cocky grin again. "Of course. Who else will be here if not for me, the all mighty Baron." He winked.

"Now I regret being grateful." I told him.

"Whether you say it or not, I know you'll always be grateful. You can not just help but notice how good I am."

"You're just so full of yourself, Baron." I groaned.

He laughed. "Let's just say I am a guy that knows his worth."

Feigning nonchalance, I raised a brow. "And what worth do you think you have, Alpha boy?"

"You know it, Katherina. And you can never get enough of this guy's worth." He proudly pointed at himself.

I laughed. This was Baron, the guy who always wanted to make sure I forgot my problems.
