DISGUISED MATE OF THE ALPHA TWINS

THREE

NATALIA’S POV

My stomach clenched tight and I felt like I was going to vomit as I saw werewolves in the hallway casually picking their noses and scratching themselves in public, making me feel a tad bit uncomfortable.

What the hell are they doing?

I felt the urge to barf as I tried to walk through the disgusting werewolves. I’d assumed that all the other boys would be as image-conscious as my brother but I was terribly wrong.

Were boys always this disgusting?

Questions filled my mind but I shoved them aside as I took a quick look at them, trying to learn from their behavior because no matter how disgusting they seem, I needed to blend in.

I studied them carefully for a while, observing and mimicking their walk so that I could seem more manly and they weren’t going to see through my disguises.

Walking as manly as I could, I closed my eyes immediately, trying to avoid eye contact when I saw a pack of them walking towards me in nothing but their underwear.

I had no idea my eyes were still closed until I stumbled and bumped into one of them, his chest seemed soft and yet firm at the same time.

He reeked of sweat but I couldn’t bring myself to pull away from him as I felt his chest with my palm, he had a broad chest that made it easy for my face to be buried in.

“Impressed?” A masculine voice jolted me out of my thoughts and I felt heat rush to my face, spreading across my neck and face before going to my ears.

“Do you like what you feel and will you need more time to take it in since you can’t stop squeezing my chest?” He added and that was when it dawned on me.

I’d really been squeezing his chest.

His tone made me color fiercely and blood began to pound in my temple as I quickly pulled away from him but the way he laughed at me wouldn’t stop clawing at me like talons.

“I— I’m sorry, I’m so sorry,” I quickly apologized, bowing my head more times than I could count as the embarrassment renewed and I didn’t need to look in a mirror to know that I was crimson with humiliation already.

“It wasn’t intentional, I didn’t mean to—” I couldn’t bring myself to say it and the more I thought about what I’d been doing, the hotter my face felt and the more fiery the heat coursing through me got.

What was I thinking?

“Squeeze my chest?” He completed for me and everyone bursted out in a fit of laughter. His caustic tone made me flush in shame as my breath quickened.

Deep inside, I was mad at myself for not concentrating, I was mad at myself for not putting in a hundred percent effort at blending in with the guys.

And I knew that if I kept going at this rate, I was bound to get caught. If I let my emotions control me, it will only be a matter of time before they know I’m a girl and not a boy.

I mentally slapped myself and Lila didn’t miss the opportunity to tease me about feeling a man up and I felt ashamed at myself for taking advantage of the fact that he was shirtless even though it wasn’t intentional.

A rough palm on my shoulder made me jump. I was expecting all of this but somehow, it was as if I hadn’t prepared myself enough for this.

I looked behind me to see another male smiling down at me, he rested his palm properly on my shoulder and leaned down so that he was looking directly into my eyes.

“You don’t have to be so nervous,” he said, his voice was calm and there wasn’t a single hint of arrogance or annoyance in it, even his smile was warm and welcoming.

“Are you new?” He asked and I nervously nodded as I bent my head and studied my hand because I had no idea what to say next and I felt like the ground should open up and swallow me whole.

The one who had his palm on my shoulder only chuckled as he turned me so that I was facing him this time and I stiffened a wince.

Men are usually always rough with each other, I shouldn’t be surprised.

“Welcome to Golden Alpha Academy, I’m Mark, the Alpha heir from the Steelheart Pack and the guy you were just feeling up,” he said and I felt my cheeks getting warm again.

“Is Vincent, the Alpha heir from the Moonlake Pack.” He finished with a warm smile and it didn’t take long for Vincent to stand before me.

“So, were you impressed with my chest? I can let you feel it more depending on your answer and then I can feel yours too.” He added.

I knew he meant no harm but I almost screamed if Lila hadn’t reminded me that I was supposed to be a man and this is what men do, it’s not a big deal.

“N— nice to meet you, I’m Nate, Alpha heir from Emberclaw pack,” I returned the introduction, “I’ve heard so much about your packs and I must say, I’m really really impressed.” I added and they only smiled proudly.

The continent of Irshire is home to thousands of packs, and both Steelheart and Moonlake are very large packs that commands respect and I had nothing but admiration for them.

I immediately clicked with Vincent and Mark and they helped me with a lot of things even though it was our first time meeting, they also had words of advice for me and I couldn’t be more thankful to them.

Mark eagerly explained the dormitory situation to me and a lot of things seemed like a rough chore, making me feel as if I wouldn’t be able to fit in well but they both promised to help me whenever I needed their help.

“Also, Nate, you should get along well with your roommates because the final graduation task is completed by dormitory groups and if you get off on the wrong foot with everyone, you’re screwed.” Mark quickly added and I nodded in understanding.

“What dorm are you in?” Vincent asked and I immediately brought out my assignment slip to check the dorm I’ve been assigned to.

“Room 609.” I responded eagerly but as soon as I said my room number out loud, everywhere fell silent and an eerie, uncomfortable tension filled the entire hallway.

It is almost as if there is something in room 609 that scares the bejeezus out of them as all eyes fell on me and I saw what seemed like fear and pity in all of their eyes.

What’s wrong with room 609?

“Nate?” Vincent called, his voice lower than when he was offering all that advice and his forehead wrinkled as he and Mark got closer to me.

“You should really switch dorms.” Mark said suggestively although he couldn’t hide the fact that he would prefer I take his suggestion and switch dorms as fast as I can.

“Why? What’s wrong with my room?” I asked curiously and instead of a response, what I got was murmurs from the large group of werewolves in the hallway.

Fear still lingered in the air even as they all returned to their rooms one after the other. Sheer black fright swept through the hallway and soon, I was left alone with Mark and Vincent.

“What’s wrong with room 609?” I asked again, unable to contain my curiosity, “everyone seemed really freaked out when I said my room number.” I added and Mark only nodded slowly.

“They have every right to freak out,” Vincent was the one who answered, “that room is regarded as the vilest room of all the rooms.” He added and Mark nodded again.

The same pity I’d seen in the dormitory manager’s eyes clouded Mark’s eyes too and I couldn’t help but feel like something definitely had to be wrong.

“Room 609 houses the twin Alpha heirs of the most powerful pack on the continent, the Golden Pack, and their only roommate has never shown up in the dorm.” Mark explained.

“Are they that bad?” I questioned in a low tone.

“I mean, bad enough for their only roommate to want to avoid them like plagues, the fact that he hasn’t shown up prevented the twins, despite being the first in the academy's history to both achieve an S ranking, from completing their graduation task.” Vincent was the one who explained this time.

“And as a result of that, if anyone they don't like comes anywhere near them, the person is likely to be targeted until the school board agrees to change the graduation task rules.” Mark explained again.

My jaw dropped, I couldn’t believe that there were students that’s this bad in the Golden Alpha Academy.

“They seem like total ass,” I muttered and Mark immediately agreed with me but warned me not to say that anymore because it could cost me a lot.

Sighing, I stared at my assignment slip for a while. I couldn’t possibly switch dorms now because this is the only room available.

I have no other choice but to put up with the two jerk Alpha, “I can’t really switch dorms.” I said to Mark and Vincent.

“The manager told me all the dorms are filled up and this is the only one vacant so I guess I’ll just see how it goes.” I said, my voice ladled with hope.

“But—”

“I’ll be fine,” I said with a reassuring smile, “I need to go now, I’ll see you around. Bye!” I cut in quickly as I headed towards room 609 alone.

As I walked, I mentally prepared different ways to introduce myself to the twins and when I got to the door, I took a deep breath and knocked on the door before waiting for an answer.

Despite knocking several times with no response, I tried to muster the courage to unlock the door with the key the dorm manager had given me.

I walked into the room and it was as if I’d walked into a garbage dump, the room was a complete disaster with clothes strewn across the beds and on the floor.

The sound of running water in the bathroom told me that there was someone in here. The room was filled with a pleasant scent, it was so alluring that it made Lila restless.

The deep, creamy sweetness with warm undertones of amber, leather and wood called out to me and I felt a sense of happiness and excitement within me.

While Nate’s spray can block out the scent, it doesn’t help to resist the allure of a fated Mate and it was at this point that I knew that he’s here.

My Fated Mate. Oh No.

Pushing the thoughts to the back of my mind, I forced myself to tidy up my bed and just when I was about to relax until the next activity, a loud thunderous voice called out behind me.

"Hey! Get out!"
