CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THREE
AURORA'S P.O.V
My breath hitched as I stared at him, my blood went cold and my pulse quickened. Even my wolf was shocked into silence as we stared. It was like I was looking into a mirror.
"Who...what....how...?" I pointed a shaky finger at him, unable to form the complete words that I wanted you say.
He had my face. He was me.
How?
Same shape of eye, chin, jaw line looks a bit sharper but still...like me. A tiny mole just under his nose peeped at me. His hair was also white just like mine, cascading down to curl and brush his collar. The other thing different was the eyes that stared back at me. Glimmering red and filled with hate and anger. If someone saw us right now, they would think we were twins.
A smirk played on his lips, his eyes narrowed as he lifted his chin and dropped his mask to the ground next to his legs. The sound it made jarred me out from my frozen state, I blinked at him in rapid succession.
"How are...? You...you look...you look just like..." I couldn't get the words out.
"Just like you right? Well its not a surprise..." His smirk turned into a frown, "...since we are twins. So...hello little sister."
The venom laced in his tone was so sharp that my legs trembled.
"Twins? A brother?...".I shook my head slowly, my heartbeat sounding so loud in my ears. "But no one told me I had a brother. A twin. How did I not know?"
He let out a snort, his lips curling into a sneer.
"Do you take ne for a fool? You knew about me, there is no way you didn't know about me. But still you did nothing to look for me, I spent years alone, not knowing I had a sister, only to find out about you...and you were busy having a family to even care."
I shook my head even harder, moving back slowly to rest against the cold wall.
"That's not true...no..."
He stepped closer, gaze icy. "Abandoned. Left to die. While you got everything."
I shook my head.
"I didn’t know!"
"Liar!" He snapped, his hands clenched looking very intimidating. "You lived pampered, oblivious. I suffered." Anger rolled off him, coming to blast at me in waves, I never felt this much hatred, even from Desmond. "Why didn’t you help?" His voice broke a little, "Even when I wrote to you. When I tried to call out to you."
I felt a sting in my chest.
"Auron, I..."
"No excuses." He cut me off, waving his hand. "You had it easy. Parents loved you. Me? Forgotten." Pain flickered in his eyes.
I took a difficult step forward, he had it all wrong. I never even knew the warmth of a mother. Who told him all these lies.
"Auron, I suffered too...I didn't..."
"Don’t." He raised a hand. "Spare me. I saw your life. I saw you. Smiles, love, power. Mine? Darkness and pain. I had to suffer and struggle just to be where I am right now."
I wheezed out a breath, bringing a shaky hand to my forehead, trying to steady my spinning head.
"So...We’re twins… I have a twin...a twin brother..." My voice was laced with shock, wonder and slight joy. "...why didn’t I know? Why didn't I know about you?" I stared him intently in the face.
He looked a bit taken back, his eyes shifting with emotions of confusion then anger.
"Stop this." He growled. "If only you had looked for me when I had reached out. When you were told, we would have been happy. Together. But because you wish to hide your guilt, you stand there and tell me you didn't know. I'm not stupid."
"But that's the truth!" I screamed, tears blurring my vision. "I never knew you existed. If I had known....I would have..."
"You would have done nothing, because I'm pretty sure you should have gotten my message when I tried to call out bland also when I wrote to you."
"But you never wrote to me. I never got any messages, nothing."
He threw back his head and laughed, his shoulders shaking. Then he glanced at me, reaching for something in his inner coat, I flinched, thinking he was bringing out a gun. But then he took out a wad of evelopes tied with a ribbon and threw it at me.
"Pick it up." He commanded stifly.
With caution, I picked them up and opened one. A gasp escaped me, I covered my mouth with my hand, tears running down my cheeks. Then I checked the next envelope and then the next. They all had the same contents, him writing to me and wanting to reach out, asking for help, fie attention. I looked up from the envelopes.
"You sent all these?"
His nose flared,
"And you returned them all back without an answer."
I shook my head head again, my neck was beginning to ache from all the shaking.
"No. I never got these messages. I swear, you have to believe me. I never saw them."
"Oh really? Then explain this." He thrust a piece of paper to me, I took it and read it.
"I..I didn't write this. It's not me." I desperately tried to explain. The paper had the words, "DON'T EVER TRY REACHING OUT TO ME AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW YOU NEITHER DO I CARE TO KNOW YOU." Written boldly on it. I knew it wasn't me because it wasn't my handwriting but the handwriting looked a bit familiar, just couldn't point out where I had seen it.
"Please, cut the crap." He growled back again. "I've listened to enough of your lies, I'm not sticking around to listen to more. Guards!"
Before I knew it, men were at both sides of me and they held me and dragged me along with them. I made no move to protest, the envelopes still clutched tightly in my hands.
"Where do we out here Alpha?" One of the guards asked. "In the same cell we put her before?"
He stopped, his back looking broad and strong as he tilted his head slightly. I didn't mind them putting me in that dusty place, I just hoped there would be food.
"No, take her to one of the guest rooms. And lock her there."
