The Alphas and the Elemental

It's a Twin Thing

ASHER

Archer's voice in my head woke me from a very intense dream. Astro the girl of my dreams, goddess, please let her be more than a dream.

I have been begging the moon goddess for years now that Astrofengiá (Starlight) Quinn is my mate. I love her with every part of me and, unlike my twin, I have stayed pure for her.

But dreams like last night are starting to take their toll. I mumble through the link and Archer chuckles and tells me it's nearly 5am. I sigh, and look at my raging hard-on, sh.it, I need to do something with that before I go downstairs.

I told Arch that I would be there in a minute and headed to the bathroom. I step into the hot shower, and fist my di.ck, picturing Astro, I stroked my length, the way she looked in her bikini a couple of months ago, when we went to visit for her birthday. I speed up my strokes, imagining her lying beneath me, screaming my name as she cu.ms. I growl as I reach my release.

Turning off the water and wrapping a towel around my waist.

I hear my wolf, Phoenix, chuckle in my head, "goddess that was quick, lets hope when we finally get her into bed, you will be able to last a little longer." A*shole, "f*ck off dude, you have no idea how hard it has been to keep myself for our mate, especially as Archer keeps sending me pictures of him f**king random girls."

"I know, and I am very grateful, Hawk is not happy with Archer and his inability to refuse a wh**e"

I chuckle and get dressed. When I get downstairs, mum and dad have breakfast ready, the rest of the tribe will be pi**ed they missed this spread.

Archer seemed to be staring into space. Papa called him twice before throwing his arm around his shoulder and dragging him to the table.

When Mum and Archer told us they shared a dream last night, and told us what happened, I felt like ice ran through my veins had they had a premonition? But why would the three of us be on a ship?

I think back to my last video call with Astro, "Astro told me she had something to talk to us about, she seemed really excited, something about the origins of mum's people. Do you think they will come early?"

Pop sighs. "I doubt it. Aiden and Leander are at an alliance meeting in Athens. Aidie said that the negotiations were not going smoothly."

A very grumpy Alfie stumbles into the room, "mama, you let them eat all the food? What am I gonna eat?" Papa jumps up and swings him into the air, "you mean we have to feed you? I think you are growing too fast, so bread and water for you, my monster." Blowing raspberries on Alfies' belly, sending him into fits of laughter.

"My turn Papa, my turn," our youngest and cutest, sister Aster runs towards papa, but I catch her, and throw her in the air, "I don't think so, I want my morning cuddle."

She pouts at me, "nope! We have morning cuddles in bed, but you were naughty and were not there, so no cuddles for Asher." She wriggles out of my arms and runs to dad.

He lifted her up and she cupped his cheeks, "don't worry Alfie, daddy will make us more food, won't you, my daddy?" she gave him the cute eyes, like a puppy begging for a treat. How the f**k do girls know how to do that? Mum still uses it on the dads. We men cannot resist that look, it's like we are programmed to give them anything they want.

Astro has the same look when she wants us to do something for her, and I would give her the world. Goddess help me if we are mates. She could make me do anything.

The rest of our siblings arrive for breakfast and Archer pushes at our link, "Bro, I think we should talk to Astro together, I need a shower first, meet me in my room in ten minutes."

I stared at him, "have you even spoken to her since her birthday? She may not want to talk to you."

"You said she needed to talk to us."

"Me and mum, she just said me and mum."

He scowls at me, "so you haven'r stuck up for me at all, have you? I bet you are enjoying having her all to yourself."

Now I am pi**ed, "You f**king kissed her, you took her first f**king kiss, and then dropped her and f**ked some random girl. How the f**k am I supposed to help you with that? I am so sick of clearing up your messes, all because you can't keep your d**k in your pants."

He growls at me, drawing attention to us. Mum and Papa are staring at us. Mum looks sad, but Papa looks pi**ed, "you two, our office now."

Sh*t, this is going to go really well. We follow them to the office and Papa slams the door behind us, F*ck, here we go.

Papa stares down at us, "okay you two, you have been at each other for months, and we are sick of it, so you are going to tell us what the f*ck is going on and then you are going to work it out, your bond is so special, and you are treating it like it's nothing."

He and Mum are glaring at us with their arms folded across their chests. I looked at Archer, he's the f*ck up, so he should tell them, but he shook his head at me.

Mum growls, Saffron pushing to the front, Oh sh*t, "one of you little sh*ts had better start talking. Star is worried sick about you both."

I sighed, "something happened when we were in Paxos, and I don't think anything will ever be okay again." Archer looks at me sharply, Sadness filling his eyes.
