NO!

That couldn't be...

My family...

I didn't want to, no, I couldn't believe it.

Did those beasts kill her?!

Guaranteed they had!

There was no doubt about that.

After all, if we had decided to end our lives, I would be dead too.

I would never have left myself here with the monsters alone.

But the fact that they were dead explained a lot.

To make matters worse, I had to fight quite a bit to hold back my tears. But I was aware that if I cried now or showed any other telltale emotion, my whole plan would be wasted.

Because escape was clearly my priority, or much more escaping from the werewolves. Although I was willing to give my life to escape the beasts, I cared about my life. And who knew if I wouldn't meet another group of free people.

After all, my family and I had already found traces of presumably such a number of times, even though we stayed away from them for safety reasons.

A large group was much more difficult to hide than a small one.

"Jared? Would you like to let go of the girl.", the dark-haired asked the guy who was still holding me. He did

n't seem to agree, however.

"Come on Jared.", said the twin: "She's still done too He's not quite well and should be recovering."

The argument seemed to work better for him.

Anyway, he suddenly pulled me back onto his arms and seemed to run back with me.

I didn't want those touches, but now I had them Chance to take a look at the path.We

really seemed to be surrounded by forest.You

could make out more houses between the trees,they all seemed to be quite a distance apart.

On top of that, they all seemed fairly new.

However, I didn't have much more time to look around.

We had probably reached the house in which I woke up again and entered it through a massive wooden door.

"Does she really have to go back upstairs?" my carrier asked his twin.

He had followed us and gave me a quick look.

"I don't think she wants that too."

"Luke, I don't think I can stand it otherwise. To be honest, I don't want to go off like that again. I know that's not good, but the wolf would love to snuggle up to her." "

Judging by the way she looks, she'd rather pull the fur over your ears if she could. But if she had to If you have to, put her on the sofa. But keep a little distance from her, otherwise she'll collapse."

Just behind the door, the werewolf with me in his arms turned to the left into a room and put me there on the sofa.

I looked around here too, unsure.

The dark-haired werewolf had also followed us and, like the twins, didn't take his eyes off me.

After a few seconds he sighed.

"It can still be fun with you guys. I wish you the best of luck.

It's best to try to explain everything to her as quickly as possible. Otherwise it's just going to go horribly wrong by the next full moon."

After that he gave the other twin a quick pat on the shoulder and left us alone again.

And I honestly couldn't tell if I should think it was better that a werewolf was gone or that I wasn't alone with these two lunatics who thought I was their 'mate' until just

now, because the mood was getting weird again...

"Jared, I have no idea what you're up to now, but I would definitely leave it." "

What? I'm not doing anything."

"It looks like you're up to something. Even she noticed that.", the werewolf said and pointed to me. "

Do you think she can tell us apart? I mean, even our parents had some problems with it.", the other tried to distract quite obviously.

The other raised an eyebrow.

"I don't think it's that difficult right now. She's probably excellent at telling us apart about our behavior right now.

I don't know if she can tell us apart from a purely visual point of view. I guess we'll have to find that out over time. Unfortunately, previous connections between werewolf twins and a human never worked for long enough to be able to say something about that." "

But we are far ahead of all other couples in terms of time!", replied the other and almost sounded euphoric.

"Yes, we are lying. But only because she was in a fucking coma until this morning. It's a bit difficult to do something to yourself." "

Can't you be a little more positive?!" One suddenly snapped at the other.

"Jared, calm down again. I'm just being realistic. Even if this opinion is unfortunately almost identical to a pessimistic perspective.", the other just sighed.

I listened to the conversation attentively, but without hopefully giving the impression that I understood them. Perhaps they would still address important information for me. Or maybe they'd get at each other's hair so badly that one would pull away annoyed and I'd only have to outrun one werewolf instead of two.

Unfortunately, things turned out differently.

"I know... but damn Luke, I'm scared of losing her." He looked to me and back to his twin almost desperately: "From an early age it was my biggest dream and at the same time my biggest nightmare, her It's because I grew up hearing stories about other twins, and not one of them ended well. They were all catastrophes, even when it came to companions who grew up with the werewolves."

"Jared, I understand you. I've had the same concerns a thousand times. But unfortunately there is no point in evading the facts. We should try to learn from the mistakes we made at the time."

The other now seemed more depressed than before. "There were about two dozen werewolf twins in our known history that we had more accurate records of. Everyone has chosen very different approaches in order not to make the mistakes of the previous twins. Some have granted a lot of freedom and it went wrong. The next ones did the exact opposite and it went wrong. Still others tried it from a distance and a lot of time, hardly had they turned their backs on her and she ended her life."

"It's just damn difficult. And you have to look at it this way, that even normal werewolves often have problems. Unfortunately, the last Alpha's decisions about how to deal with humans didn't make it much better. Even if he was probably right in view of what people did back then. Who knows if people would still exist, let alone a world to live in."

Horrified, I listened to the two monsters. If I just got them right, everyone who was in the same situation as me killed themselves. I didn't even know what I could find worse, that apparently no one had managed to escape or that the werewolves were actually writing things down to gather information for other of them.
