Zoey's POV
All our life's its been ups and downs. In the beginning it was wonderful but the end it wasn't.
My brother and I had the best mother in the world til someone ended her life. But I'll start from the beginning when we were born.
My father was a warrior in and out of wars while my mother was a stay at home type of mom. She make sure the house was clean and dinner was made for us kids. And of course our father when he came home from working at the pack house when he wasn't out in a war.
While we were growing up without a father half the time, we would watch our mother do what she do best. But in the end, we knew it was getting hard for her. Expressly with us being twins. By the time we were 15, we started training to become a wolf guardsman so we could help out for our mother and father. Where he could stay home more and be with her. She needed our father and we were the next in line to become a wolf warrior.
Yes, were wolf shifters and at first I was a little off about it. I didn't like shifting but my brother on the other hand did. He always has when he was younger. Usually when you turn 16-18 you shifted but with us we turned too early. We was only 10 years old when we turned. And our father wasn't there to help.
As we grow up, we end up going into war and fought a lot of shifters and hunters. And when I mean a lot of shifters there were bears, wolves, lions, a few panthers. But we only done it because we had to.
When I wasn't fighting, I was in the med bay helping the ones that was hurt or helping the children. I've always been a sucker for the kids only because I'm still a child myself. Just a little older than the ones I'm taking care of.
Klaus's POV
My sister and I had it hard growing up. Me as the man in the house trying to help my sister and my mother when I could. When I was fighting in the war with my sister, she was all I thought about. There were times that I gotten myself hurt because I was worried for her. But me being the best that I was, healed really fast. But as a twin, I felt what she was feeling and the same goes for her.
When I wasn't fighting, I was helping her in the med bay or out training the new wolves even the older ones to stay fit. Until one day, just out of the blue, rogues were attacking our home. I sent all fighting wolves out old or new. Even my own father.
My mother went to run to the med bay where the hurt and children were at, when a few rogues came by. They had blocked her off.
"Sister, mother needs help. She's outside the med bay two rogues blocked her way in."
"On it brother."
Our mother couldn't shifted into a wolf anymore. She had body problems from her getting to old that it hurt her to shift. Our father was the same way but not as bad as she was. Hers was because she done every thing. She was the mother and the father of the family, done a lot of heavy lifting and so forth.
As my sister came running out of the Med bay, she attack those two rogues that was blocking our mother but as I was fighting along side of my father and my sister was fighting those who were around the med bay, a rogue slipped by and attacked our mother.
It hit me hard when I heard a loud scream then saw the rogue biting into my mothers neck. I lost it. I took off and ran right to that rogue and killed him on the fly.
When the rogues saw we had the upper hand they had took off and my sister and father ran over to where I was with my mother dead in my arms. I wanted to cry so bad but I held it all in for my sister. But her I felt her pain from seeing our mother dead. She shifted into her human form and fell over into my side cuddling our mothers head.
"Momma, no. Please be alive." She had cried out. "It should have been me lying here not you."
From that day off things had changed. My sister stayed home to work with the med bay while I was on missions and wars. Our father drunk himself from the pain and loss of our mother. She was his world his every thing.
Zoey's POV
From losing our mother it all changed from there, my father was never the same and while my brother was out in wars and hit, he was never hardly home. I choose to stay home and work in the med bay to help the sick and help take care of the children.
Just one night when I came home, I saw my father was too drunk that I tried to help him up to his room but he wasn't having it. And from the moment I had feared for my father. He had hit me and telling things that I already told myself but I wasn't expecting to hear it from someone else.
"You should have been the one that died not your mother. Wish it was you, I could be loving my wife right now." He had yelled at me then threw his beer bottle at me.
It cut me but I was healing before I could do anything about it.
"Father I was there, I tried to save her. I sorry. There were to many. Please stop." I kept telling him over and over but he never would listen to me.
He pouched me in the face a few times then started kicking me. He had kicked me so hard that he broke a few of my ribs.
This would happened at least 2 to 3 times a month depending how drunk he was. Those nights I try to stay away from him but when I would come home, he would start on me. But this last time, he really hurt me, where I couldn't move. And it was taking a toll on me for my wolf to heal me. So I would mind link one of the guards to help. Aka my lover, Michael.
"Michael, come to the house and help me to the med bay please."
"Yes, M'lady. I'm on my way."
When he had came in, he saw where I was and was shocked. He ran to me and bent down.
"M'lady, what happened?" He had asked me.
"Father," I had said.
"Your father beat you? Where is he at?" Michael had growled.
"Stop, just leave it alone." I tried to tell him but I couldn't hardly breathe.
"Yes, M'lady." He had said then lifted me up in his arms and carried me to the med bay.
While he was carrying me, everyone was looking at us, seeing what was going on. But no one had spoke a word about it. When he brought me in the med bay, he sat me down on one of the bed and Cassie she ran over when she saw it was me.
"Not again." She had said.
"Again? He's done this more than once?" Michael had asked.
I glared at her for saying something in front of him.
"I'm sorry, Zoey but this is bad. He could have killed you this time." She had said.
"How many times has he done this?" Michael had asked.
Michael was a good friend and a good warrior/guard. He's been there since I was younger and I've always looked up to him. He was only about 5-10 years older than me but I didn't care nor did he. When I became the age of 17 we started talking while we were out in the wars. Just like my brother, he was protective over me as well. The silly wolf even got himself hurt because of me. No one really knew about us other than my twin of course. He knows everything. He's my best friend. My own mother didn't even know about him and I felt bad that I didn't tell her before she passed. I wanted her to know I was happy but I couldn't.
I was so into thinking of my mother not telling her things, that Cassie had stuck something into my leg. I growled and grabbed her.
"Zoe, love its fine. Its just to help the pain." Michael had said as he placed a hand on my arm. "Turn those yellow eyes back to your pretty brown ones.
I took a deep breath and calmed my wolf side of me. I didn't mean to it was a force of habitat when you didn't know what was happening to you. I looked at him and smiled a little bit and so did he. I laid back and felt myself getting tired which I knew the pain meds Cassie gave me was kicking in.
Klaus's POV
As I was finishing up the mission I was on, I went to go to the hotel me and my group were staying at. As I was walking up the stairs, I felt a weird pain in my stomach and only time I feel something like this is when my twin is being hurt.
"Zoey!" I growled while bending over to hold the pain.
"Klaus, what's the matter?" Jonathan had asked.
"My sister, she's in pain. Someone is hurting her." I had said almost falling down the stairs.
Jonathan had grabbed me before I had fell. He was a good friend, I've known him since I was a pup. He was a great warrior and knew how to take a single person down with only two or three moves in his human form. He was like a ninja.
"Team, pack up! Were going back home now. The boss needs to get home, his sister is in trouble." Jonathan had ordered them, he was like my 2nd in command when we were out on missions. And he knew how much Zoey met to me. That was my twin, my everything, my best friend for life. I would die for her. Kill for her. I would do anything for my twin. Even when the time of the month came, if she needed something I would go get it. Even if I have to run or drive a few hours away to make sure she got it.
When we got up to our room to pack, my phone started ringing. It was Michael, my sisters lover. Also one of our guards.
"Michael, what's wrong? Please tell me my sister is okay?" I had asked.
"Klaus, you need to come home. I know you felt it."
"I did feel it. What happened to my sister damnit." I had growled.
"She's fine for now. She's asleep. Cassie put her asleep. Your father well,"
"What the f**k did my father do to my sister!" I growled again.
Everyone stopped and looked at me. Jonathan put his hand on my shoulder but I shrugged it off of me. He knew my wolf was taking over.
"Your father beat the hell out of your sister where it almost killed her, Klaus." He had told me and it was over.
I dropped the phone and took off. I didn't care about everything else. My sister was my life.
Once I got outside close to the woods, I had shifted and ran straight home. The others could drive there but me, when Michael had said those words; "Your father beat the hell out of your sister where it almost killed her." I just lost it. The wolf in me just took over.
As I was running, I heard someone running behind me. I knew who it was and it was Jonathan. He must had told the others to pack and go home while we ran for it.
Plus we would have gotten there quicker than a car.
Once we got home, I ran straight for the med bay still in my wolf form. When I got there, I scared the s**t out of Cassie making her scream and dropped what she had in her hand. Michael turned around and saw me still in my wolf form.
"Klaus, shift please. I know what your thinking and if you do what your thinking, you know what will happen." He had told me.
He knew I wanted to kill my father for him hurting my sister. He needed to be punished for what he had done. But right now, my sister was the only thing I was thinking about right now. So I shifted back and walked over to Zoey.
"So what happened?" I had asked.
"All I know is that she mind linked with me telling me to come to the house. I saw her on the floor in a ball and I brought her here. She said that y'alls father beat her. I was gonna do something about it myself but she told me to stop. You know how I am with your sister dude. Just like you, I would do anything for her. I love her man." He had said.
When he said he had loved her, I felt joy. I've always wanted to see my sister happy and with someone. Even if its not a alpha or whatever. Michael was Zoey's best friend and Conrad when we were in the wars together. The stupid wolf got himself hurt because of her. He was a love sick puppy for her. It was some what cute.
"I know brother, I know. I am the same way." I had told him.
"She's fine for now. I gave her some of the strongest meds I have. Its just," Cassie started to say as she looked from my sister to me. "This isn't the first time Klaus. I mean not this bad, but still."
"What do you mean?"
"When Adam is drinking, he gets in a depressed mood and blames Zoey for Mandy's death. Adam wishes it was Zoey that had died and not Mandy. And he puts all of his anger and frustration out on Zoey. He literally broke a few of her ribs this time. One was almost close to her lung, but she was slowly healing before Michael got to her." Cassie had told me.
That is when my wolf took over again. I saw my eyes turn yellow looking into Cassie's glasses.
"I'm gonna kill him!" I growled then ran towards the door.
Michael had ran after me and grabbed me. That's when Jonathan had came into the room. He saw what was happening and stood in front of me as well.
I was strong enough to fight both Jonathan and Michael but I choose not to.
I sunk to the floor, feeling pain all over again. Just like that night our mother had died. Zoey did blame herself for our mothers death but she couldn't save her and fight rogues at the same time.
Just then I felt something go into my arm then saw Cassie move away from me.
"What did you do?" I had asked feeling sleepy.
"I'm sorry, Klaus but we had to." Michael had said.
"We don't want you doing something stupid right now." Jonathan had also said.
The next moment I was staring at them then the next I was passing out as well.
The next day or two, I had woken up and I was in my room. I got up and went back to the med bay to see my sister. She was awake but sitting up in the bed, with Michael sitting in a chair next to her. When she saw me she had freaked out a little.
"Klaus? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be out on a mission?" She had asked me.
"I was until Michael called me."
"You called him out of a mission?" She glared at Michael.
"Love I had to. You almost died because of what your father had done to you."
"I told you to leave it alone. He don't mean to. He doesn't know what he's doing when he's drinking." She had said.
"Seriously, Zoeanna! Your gonna play that f*****g bull s**t card. Your my f*****g sister, my twin, my blood. I knew father would be like this after mother passing. Why do you think I keep away all the time. You should have came with me. You know your part of the mission groups." I told her.
"Brother, I ain't like you. I don't like the violence and being an assassin it just kills me hurting others. I'm more the calm collected person. That's why I mess with the med bay and the children."
"Well your a warrior, sister you do what you have to do." I told her. "But with father its uncalled for. He does it again, I'll kill him. I don't care if he's our father." I growled then walked out.
Zoey's POV
After my twin left, I glared at Michael. I was mad at him. By I couldn't stay mad at him for long. He had to do what he had to do. I was his mate after all and my brother had to know. I mean once he felt what I felt, he knew it would been me and it would be bad.
"Love, what you thinking?" Michael asked me.
"Everything all at once." I had said.
"I'm sorry love." Michael told me as he grabbed my hand.
"I know, love." I told him as I rubbed his hand with my thumb.
The next few days I have been taking it slow. I was healed but still.
As it was a good day, I had took a walk in the garden. As I was looking at all the flowers, I went to the place where my mother had planted her sunrise roses. When I start thinking about her, I would go there and sit. I was there for a few hours and was about to get up and head back home until I heard growling. When I looked up, I saw a wolf with blood around his muzzle. It was my father. He must have went on a hunt. But he didn't look happy to see me.
He started to run towards me and I started to take off. I jumped over things just to get away from him. My assassin/ninja skills were kicking in at this moment. By the time I got out of the garden close to the training yard, I had yelled for help; called for Michael.
"Michael!" I screamed.
Everyone that was in the training yard saw me running scared towards them. Michael was about to come towards me when I was knocked down.
"Zoey!" I heard Michael yell.
I had elbowed my father in the face to get him off of me. I rolled over to roll out but before I did, my father got back on me. I guarded my face from his teeth. He bit my arm making me scream.
One moment I was protecting myself then the next I was being pulled up into someone's arms. It was Michael. Klaus was fighting our father in his wolf form.
I was scared for Klaus, because of our father. He knew how to kill he had trained for that was done it longer than Klaus but Klaus was smarter and faster than him.
While I was watching what was going on, my arm had healed up, and Michael was smoothing me. Everyone was around watching as well on what was going on. Until the alpha had came running out to see what was going on.
"Enough!" He had growled loud.
It made my brother stop but not my father. When Klaus looked at Kane, my father had attacked my brother.
"Klaus!" I screamed.
But right there and then Klaus had turned on our father in an instant and killed him by ripping out his throat with his teeth. I had gasped at what I had saw and fell on my knees to the ground.
My twin just killed our father over me. Like I was lost with words. What he done, was horrible and he had broke a law but so did my father. He had attacked his own daughter.
"Shifted now, Klaus!" Kane had ordered.
Klaus had done what he had ordered.
"Tell me why you have killed tour father?" Kane asked.
"He had attacked my sister. I've had enough of what has been doing to my sister." My brother had said.
Kane had looked at me. "Zoey, what Klaus has said is it true?" He asked.
"Alpha, it was only self-defense. You know Klaus wouldn't just do it. You saw yourself that Adam had attacked Klaus when you had ordered them to stop. He disobeyed your direct order." Michael had said.
"I don't care. He broke the law. I had said no killing among others. Now Zoey what your brother said was it true."
"Yes, my father has been beating me since our mother died. Just last week he had put me in the med bay with broken ribs." I had told him.
It was quiet for a moment until Kane had spoke again. But when he did, I felt bad for what happened.
"Klaus, you are banned from this pack. I want you out by morning. Zoey you can either go with him or stay. I don't care."
"Alpha, he was only protecting his sister." Michael spoke up.
"Exactly, what if Zoey was your sister, your twin, what would you do?" Klaus had said stepping up to Kane.
Kane looked at me then back to Klaus then my father's dead body. He took a deep breath before speaking again.
"My decision is final. I want you gone by morning." He had told him. "Jonathan, Michael kill this up now. Zoey I am sorry for what your father had done to you. You should have came to me about this. I could have done something about it, but no you let your brother take matters in his own hands." Kane said then walked away.
The whole night, Klaus and I were in his room, watching him pack some small things when Michael came in. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my cheek.
"Zoey, I want you to go with your brother." Michael had said.
"Wait what? You want me to go too?"
"Yes, least I know you will be safe from harm. I can't keep watch over you when I'm away and I love you too much to lose you. Please just go with Klaus. He's your twin, your best friend and we all know you two will be nothing without each other in arms length. Y'all would go crazy, if one of y'all weren't close by." Michael told me.
Which he was right. Every single word of it. So I had nodded and gave him a kiss on the lips.
"I love you so much." I told him.
"As do I. And I will find you again. Just you two, take care of each other." Michael said then walked out of the room.
I looked at Klaus and hugged him. He kissed the top of my head then let me go. I went to my room and pack a small pack as well and by morning like the alpha ordered Klaus, we left just before sunrise. We ran away from home and never looked back.
We spent weeks on the run, looking for a place to stay and found nothing yet. As we were out and about running to find shelter for tonight, I had heard someone or something running past us then saw a girl fall over in a cave when I took off after the noise.
That night we had stayed with her til she had woken up. My brother picked her up carried her into her room while I was out looking for sticks to keep the fire going.
When I had came back, the girl ran into me making my brother wake up and growled at the noise being alert.
After telling him to calm down she had shifted into a bear cub and she was so cute. She told us that hunters had killed her parents and that she was alone. I told her to pack some things and that she was coming with us.
Klaus wasn't very happy about it, but she was just a kid and I couldn't just leave her behind with no parents. As we had traveled from place to place for years 5 years now, we had found a small town and stayed there for awhile. Both Klaus and I got a job to support us until we found a better place.
Well hope y'all like the twins back story, I know it was long but I was doing both their povs on it.
So what y'all think about the alpha kicking Klaus out for killing their father for hurting his twin sister? Was it too much or what? And how about Michael letting Zoey go just so she can be with her twin and not keep them apart?
Well don't forget to comment and vote on how you like and if you want me to add some things.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone hope y'all had a good day, me I had to work for Thanksgiving and it was ugh crazy.
