Lots of Secrets

Hazel sat in her bra and panties at the kitchen counter eating her dinner. She had regained her strength and was no longer feeling ill after the amazing sex she just had.

Whatever had taken hold of her earlier was like an injection of life into her. Her skin tingled and she felt an intense sense of peace.

Rhett sat across from her and ate out of the take away container. He flipped through a magazine and occasionally sipped on a beer.

“Rhett, why didn’t you tell me you had a brother?”

Rhett sighed and said, “It doesn’t matter sweetheart, drop it.”

“Don’t talk to me like that Rhett,” said Hazel.

He looked up and said, “I’m sorry sweetheart, it’s just I got my reasons.”

Hazel looked into his eyes and saw his thoughts. She said, “You’re twins.”

Rhett was shocked and said , “How did you know that?”

“It seems our children have given me some new skills, my love,” Hazel said as she continued to eat.

“Ok. Ok,” Rhett said as he took a deep breath. “I don’t know how it is for other supernaturals, but for Wolf twins, they usually share a mate. I’m not the type of man who likes to share his toys Hazel. I fucking hate my brother. I swear to God if he comes near you, I’ll kill him.”

Hazel put down her fork and stopped chewing. “Why’d you keep that from me?”

“Because you’re mine.”

Hazel nodded her head. “That’s right, I am. Twin or not. Mate or not. I’m yours. The Fates don’t decide who I love, I do. I love you. We’re a family. If your twin was standing in front of me now, I’d tell him to piss off ,Rhett.”

“You don’t know that. This bond has a way of fucking with your mind.”

“No, I do know it. You’re the only man who I’ll ever want. The father of my children. If he were here now, I would reject him. You don’t have to be afraid. I know my place and it’s with you. Only you.”

Rhett looked away from Hazel and his eyes watered.

“I can’t lose you.”

“You won’t. Not ever,” she said. “Our bond can't be broken. I’d never do anything to betray you Rhett.”

He looked back at his wife. He saw the truth in her eyes. “I’m sorry I kept this a secret from you sweetheart. I was afraid you’d want him and would try to find him. Afraid that you’d love him.”

“You don’t have to be sorry. I’m sorry that I pushed you to explain yourself. You’re a man trying to protect what’s his. That’s what men are supposed to do, Rhett. I won’t question you again. I trust you to do what’s right for all four of us,” said Hazel as she rubbed her belly.

“So what the fuck was all that earlier Hazel?”

Hazel sighed and said, “I guess I have a couple secrets of my own to share. You can ask your elders about my grandfather, about the kind of power he has. He is a powerful psychic, can move things with his mind, read your thoughts, set fires just by thinking it. When he’s angry, he destroys everything, he can’t be stopped. My mother has it too. I think mine is dormant and the babies are bringing it out in me. Maybe because of our babies alpha blood. When your mother threatened you, it just happened. I couldn’t control it. But, what scares me is that I liked it, I fucking loved it. It felt amazing. I wanted her to keep running her fucking mouth. I wanted to tear her to pieces Rhett,” Hazel said as her breath became shaky.

She continued, “I always hated my grandfather for the things he did, for the stories I heard about him. But, I understand now. I understand why he did all those terrible things because that's what I wanted to do to Janice. I wanted her to make me lose control. The need to protect what’s yours is overwhelming. The need to crush anyone who means you harm, Rhett.” Hazel wiped the tears from her eyes and looked away from him.

Rhett nodded. “Me too Hazel. I’d kill every fucking body in this territory to keep you with me. I wouldn’t even feel a bit bad about it.”

Hazel smiled. “ Oh dear God, I am my mothers daughter. I used to be ashamed of my family's history. Look at me now.”

"i'm sorry I pushed you to this, Hazel. I'm so fucking sorry."

Hazel shook her head no. "No Rhett, no. Don't be sorry. I feel good. This is who I am, I'm not ashamed. This is what the Fates made me. It's ok. Just don't stop loving me for it , Rhett."

"That can never happen sweetheart. I love you. The Fates sent you to me for a reason. I have no right to question that now. You're amazing." Rhett said as he reached over and wiped Hazel's tears from her cheek.

When Janice got home that night, the first thing she did was call Rhett’s brother, Ryan. She explained about Rhett’s mate, how she was a witch and that it was time for him to challenge his brother for the pack. That any heirs they had would be a disgrace, weak. But, it didn’t have the effect Janice wanted.

Ryan didn’t care about leading his own pack, having proper Lycan heirs or carrying on tradition. He was a wealthy businessman in his own right and didn’t want to live in the boondocks. But, he did want the witch. He had searched the world for his mate and all this time, Rhett had her. He would pay for keeping her a secret from him. He couldn’t wait to see the look in his brothers eyes when he found out he was going to have to share his wife.

Janice and her late husband were always pitting the brothers against each other. When their father was killed and the family was banished, Ryan finally was able to go out into the world and live the life he had been denied living secretly in the mountains. He felt sorry that his poor mate was stuck there. She must be miserable. He’d put an end to that soon enough.

Ryan got on his laptop and found a flight that landed closest to his former home.

When his flight landed the next morning, he rented a car and drove the rest of the distance to his brother’s territory and got a hotel room. Then he made a plan of action.

He knew his brother went to work somewhere around 10am and, thanks to his mother, he knew where he lived.

When he was sure Rhett had left for the day, he drove to the park's entrance and parked his car then walked into the forest and shifted. He used his sense of smell to follow his brother's path to his home then found a place to hide. He waited patiently until Hazel showed herself in front of the window.He crept closer and watched her. She wore only the panties from the night before. There wasn’t much need for privacy back in the woods and she couldn’t care less who looked anyway.

Her swollen breasts heaved up and down making the wolf lick his lips.

She was amazing. The sun lit up her beautiful golden hair and made her look like an ancient statue as she stretched in the sunlight. Ryan itched to bust through the door and take his mate now like a savage, like his brother would. He planned to be more civilized though. To charm her and make her love him before he marked her. It would hurt Rhett so much more to know that his wife chose to be with Ryan and wasn’t forced into it. And if she didn’t cooperate, then he would just kill Rhett and take her anyway. She was his too, afterall.
