My Two Alphas

Chapter 22

Ace’s POV

I felt gutted knowing everything she said was true. I don’t know why I doubted her, maybe it was

my own guilt or I was just too blinded by my anger after what Melana told me, that I didn’t see sense

but now I felt like a piece of shit for not believing her, when she had never given me reason to question

her before. Lucy usually owned up to her wrongs and now I was going to have to do the same.

Lucy stormed off to Tyson’s room and I didn’t blame her, she hated me. I hated me for what I did

but I never expected her to have the bond removed and now I had to face her rejecting me all over

again. Leaning on the verandah wall I toss my smoke. Ryker comes out with Reika and he opens the

car door for her. A growl escapes him when he spots me leaning on the wall. I watch as he shuts her

door before walking over to me. I know what is coming, could see it a mile away as he stalked up the

steps toward me. I face him head on and don’t even flinch when he raises his fist.

My head whips to the side as his fist connects with my face. My blood trickled down my chin where

he split my lip open. “ You knew she was your mate and fooled around on her, then to make it worse

you forcefully mark her” Ryker growls at me raising his fist and smacking me again.

I spit blood on the ground knowing I deserved it but it still angered me, he wasn't no fucking saint

either.

“If she rejects you again you will not mark her” He snaps at me.

“Ace?” He screams in my face grabbing the front of my shirt.

“I won’t okay, she rejects me again I will leave” I tell him. He growls but nods his head before

shoving me away. Tyson comes out looking at me from the door, he presses his lips in a line but says

nothing. I know he was angry at me, he has always been the most selfless one out of us, he waited for

her, and would have continued to wait until she figured it out. I ruined things for him and now it has put

a strain on our relationship.

Ryker nods to Tyson clapping his hand on his shoulder before heading to his car. I watched them

leave before turning to Tyson who was blocking the doorway.

“I’m not going to do anything” I tell him. I just wanted to speak to her. He steps out of the way and I

walk inside about to head toward his room when calls out.

“Leave her be” He says and I stop, a growl escaping me before I shove it down.

“You must be loving this? Loving that she hates me because you can keep her to yourself” I snap

at him.

“I didn’t hurt her, you did. I may not like having to share her brother but I would never do anything

that would hurt her, if she keeps you I wouldn’t try to stop her. I accepted the fact we had to share her,

understood it but I won’t sit back and watch you destroy her more than she already is”

“And if she rejects me again, you understand she can now”

“She doesn’t want to reject you Ace, but you forcing her will make her. Stop being selfish for once

in your goddamn life and let her decide instead of taking her choice from her”

“So you expect me to sit back and watch you two cosying up together” I growl at him.

“Yes I do, don’t make things worse Ace, you didn’t just put your bond with her at risk, you put mine

at risk too. This was never a normal mate bond considering she was raised alongside us making it

already difficult enough then you screwing around with Melana. What did you expect to happen? Then

to top it off you mark her and choose Melana over her, you messed this up, not me and I won't be

punished for your misdoings” He says before walking off down the hallway toward his room. I watch

him close his door. Jealousy coursing through me before I stalk off toward mine slamming the door. I

really made a mess of things.

“Just Mark her” Atticus tells me and I growl at him.

“Shut up, you have been no help at all” I tell him, shoving him back.

Lucy POV

Everyone left while I hid in the room.

Tyson came in and I could hear him arguing with Ace but he says nothing of it when he steps back

inside the room. “Do you want to watch a movie?” He asks, laying on the bed beside me.

I shake my head, I didn’t feel like doing anything I just wanted to get away from everyone, away

from the drama. Yet being here that would never happen and going home wasn’t an option either for

me. Not yet at least. Sitting up, I wanted to leave and see Mitchel but didn’t know how Tyson would

take that.

“What’s wrong?” Tyson asks.

“I wanted to go see Mitchel” I tell him, needing my friend, my only friend. Tyson growls but says

nothing instead gets up and walks over to his closet and grabs a jumper out and pulls it on.

“Where are you going?” I ask him, suddenly worried.

“I will drop you off” He says, tossing me a jumper.

“Are you letting me go?” I ask a little shocked.

“Yes, I am not happy about it but I trust you Lucy, just let me drop you off and pick you up” He says

and I nod pulling his jumper over my head. I mindlinked Mitchel who said he was about to catch the bus

home from school but instead Tyson told me to tell him we would pick him up. Pulling up out the front of

the school Mitchel was standing there and he looked nervous as he approached Tyson’s car.

Tyson had a tight grip on the steering wheel and I opened my door and climbed out and Mitchel

gave me a hug. “So why is the Alpha of Black Moon picking me up?” Mitchel asks.

I open the back door for him before climbing back in the passenger seat.

“Alpha” Mitchel says out of respect even though technically Tyson wasn’t his Alpha, my stepfather

was. Tyson nods to him but starts driving.

“So what are we doing?” Mitchel asks.

“I am dropping Lucy off to your place, I will come get her later” Tyson says.

“Okay, am I missing something, did I do something wrong?” Mitchel asks nervously.

“No, of course not. Tyson is just a little weirded out with me hanging out with you” I tell him looking

over the back of my seat.

“And why is that Lucy?” Tyson says and I know he was wanting me to tell Mitchel he is my mate. I

sigh it was going to come out anyway.

Mitchel was watching him trying to figure it out. “Tyson and Ace are my mates” I tell Mitchel who

opens and closes his mouth a few times before he lets out a breath.

“Okay then” Mitchel says with a nod processing that information. Tyson glances at him over his

shoulder.

“Well at least mum will stop pestering me about you” Mitchel says and Tyson growls at him.

Mitchel puts up his hand shaking his head.

“I’m fine being friends, Alpha” Mitchel says and I sit back in my seat. The drive wasn’t long to

Mitchell's place. Getting out of the car, Tyson hops out before walking over to me. He pulls me to him

before pressing his lips to my head.

“Mindlink me when you want me to pick you up” Tyson says and I nod. Mitchel and I spent all

afternoon playing video games and surprisingly nothing changed with him knowing I was Tyson’s mate.

He didn’t seem to care but was just glad to be spending time with me.

Mitchell told his mother who seemed genuinely happy and I stayed for dinner before we went back

up and played video games before watching a movie.

I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I remember is being woken by someone carrying me.

My eyes flutter open before I snuggle closer into Tyson before feeling cold air brush over my skin and I

knew we were outside.

“Mitchel rang me and said you fell asleep” Tyson says when I look up at him as he puts me in the

passenger side before pulling my seatbelt across me. I lean back on the chair and see Mitchell come

over.

“Will see you later luce,” He says shutting my door and Tyson nods to him before climbing in the

car and starting it.

“Why didn’t mindlink me to come get you?” He asks, reversing out of the driveway.

“I fell asleep,” I tell him.

“I would prefer it if you didn’t fall asleep in another males bed though” Tyson says.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t realise how tired I was” I tell him.

“It’s fine lucy, I am not mad, I know everything must be confusing for you and Mitchel isn’t as bad

as I thought, at least he rang me” Tyson says pulling onto the highway.

“Ace?” I ask and he growls.

“Feeling sorry for himself” Tyson says and I nod resting my head on the window.

The house was dark when we got home, no lights were on inside and I hoped that meant Ace was

asleep. Tyson parks his car before hopping out and I follow him to the front door and watch as he

unlocks it pushing it open for me.

I yawned wanting to go back to sleep but I also knew Tyson wouldn’t like smelling Mitchell all over

me, so I walked back to his room grabbing a towel from the linen cupboard on the way to his room.

“I will get you some clothes” Tyson says as I step into the bathroom flicking on the light. I turn the

shower on waiting for the water to heat up. Tyson knocks on the door.

“Clothes Lucy” He says and I open the door.

“Why didn’t you just come in?” I ask him.

“Because I didn’t know if I was allowed” He answers.

“You're my mate and it's just skin Tyson” I tell him, stripping off but he looks away turning his back

to me.

“You are so much like your mother,” He mutters.

“You have seen me naked before Tyson, geez”

“Yes before you knew we are your mates Lucy, Tyrant wants to claim you, I just don’t want to be

put in a situation where he might when you don’t want to be marked yet”

I hop in the shower, wetting my hair before grabbing the soap and washing myself, ridding my skin

of Mitchels scent.

Tyson remained near the door until I finished showering and talking about random things. Getting

out, I dry myself and slip on his shirt and some shorts.

"I'm decent" I tell him and he turns around while I roll my eyes at him.

"You sleeping in here?" Tyson asks.

"I wouldn't have come in here if I wasn't planning to, and Ace won't come in here with you with me"

I tell him.

"He would but I wouldn't let him mark you" I nod before stepping past him and into the room.

I climb on his bed getting comfortable before he changes quickly and climbs in bed with me.

I roll resting my head on his bare chest and he reaches over, flicking the lamp off. The only light

coming from the bathroom door that was slightly open allows light to filter in.

"What do you want Lucy?" Tyson asks, his fingers playing with my hair.

"I want things to go back to normal"

"What is your idea of normal?" He asks. I wasn't sure anymore either.

"Back to before when I used to come back in the holidays"

"Before you knew we were your mates, before Mr Tanner?" Tyson asks. I nod and he sighs.

"You know that's not possible, I don't want to be your friend Lucy, Tyrant won't let me even if I tried

you are mine and Ace's, just as I am yours but I can wait" he says. I don't say anything but at least I

know I am safe with Tyson.
