The Emergence Of The Alpha Twins ( UNDER REVISING )

8. Dexter

Dexter, just remember he's the twin with the tattoo! 🔝

"Why the hell are you in the woods?" Dexter yelled at me now that he's back to normal. We are still in the woods, trying to find our way back to the house.

"Because, I don't want to be there anymore. Everyone is so mean to me, except Coy. You'd think that since you and Ernest are my mate you'd stick up for me. Nope, I was wrong!" I fold my arms as I step over a dead possum, looking at the ground as I don't want to see Dexters face.

"So you decided to come and live in the woods? Wow, you're so smart-."

"Okay I've had enough! All you can ever say to me is something rude or you have to be a smart Alec or Mr. Obvious! It's annoying, can't you be nice for once!"

"How can I be nice to a person that I hate?" He asks kindly, making me hiss as I walk faster, only realizing he can keep good stride very easily.

"I don't know. Hasn't your mommy ever told you,' if you can't say anything nice keep it to yourself?' You should listen to that more."

"No thanks. My mom and I weren't very close. But thanks for the advise, useless advice that I will never use."

I stop walking as I than dart through poison ivy. I don't care as I just want to be away from him and his rude self. But I don't get far as I feel an iron grip grab onto my wrist, yanking me to them.

"Ow! Can you be any less ruder than you already are!?" I yell as Dexter is now dragging me with him as we walk somewhere.

"Well if you weren't so immature this could be easy. But no, I had to be mates with a girl like you! Just shut up and walk!" When he said that I was quiet.

I didn't want to be here anymore than he did. I was lonely and couldn't do this whole rude thing for to long. I was starting to lose my confidence and I was sick of being...what's the word...technically bullied in my opinion.

'Girl like you.' That hit me real hard, and I don't know why. What does he mean by that? I'm not going to ask, he'll just insult me like he usually does.

As we walk I feel tears in my eyes. It takes a lot to make me cry, and I've been through a lot! I'm not crying because I'm sad, I am sad, but I'm crying because I'm angry. And I'm tired.

Slowly, a tear falls down my cheek, and onto the ground as I'm being dragged.

When it happens Dexter stopped walking, his head whips around as he is looking at me. I can't help but cry some more as he lets go of my wrist, and my hands come to my face. I don't want to look at him or anything, just the darkness of my hands covering my eyes from everything.

"Uh...why are you crying? I don't have time for babies-."

"Leave me alone! You...you..."

"What?"

"Bully! Bitch!" I scream, Dexter just stares at me as I cry. But he does something hat I least expect, he hugs me. I have stopped crying as I don't understand why he's doing this.

"You know, when someone cries it shows a sign of weakness. Your weakness is people giving you negativity on and on. Ernest told me to stop being mean to you, but you didn't seem affected by how I was treating you. So I went on with it, then here you are, crying. I'm sorry." He whispers into my hair, and I pull away, wiping these stupid tears.

I look on his peck, seeing a girl with long hair looking at me. I touch it, making him wince.

"What's the meaning of this?"

"A friend. She died not to long ago before Ernest and I made you our mate. I got this tattoo in recognition of her. I think that's why I've been a little angry half the time. Because my barrier isn't here with me, she helped calm me down and to hunk positive. But she died...and then I was alone."

"You have Ernest." I remind him, making him nod as he looked away.

"Yes, but, it wasn't the same. We may be twins, but that doesn't mean he's my barrier. I lost mine, he never had one. So he doesn't know what it's like."

"How about getting a new one?" I ask as he snickers, shaking his head like I'm dumb.

"It's not that easy. If it was I would've had a new barrier by than! But no one in that damn house can fit the material for being my barrier! They're all selfish beings that only care for themselves!"

"Aren't we all?"

"...Not Abby...and when you came you reminded me so much of her. And I hated you for it..." He laid against a tree and I stood in front of him, waiting for him to say something." Would you like to be my barrier?" He asks, and I raise my eyebrows as I have no idea what that means.

"Yes, if it isn't going to involve in a bite."

Dexter chuckled as he grabbed my shoulders, pulling me closer to him.

"It's what most girls in that house would dream of doing with me. A kiss."

"Wha-."

Before I could finish what I was saying Dexters lips were on mine. His lips were soft and his hands cradled my face delicately. I kissed him back just as gently as I felt his tongue slowly enter my mouth, tangling it with mine as I could taste him. But I couldn't breath as his tongue slowly went down my throat, and I was choking as I felt it rub along the walls of my throat. Then it crawled back up, and out of my mouth as I felt saliva creep out of my mouth.

Dexter swallowed whatever was in his mouth from my mouth and he kissed my lips softly.

"Thank you for being my new barrier. Considering how much we hate each other this is surprising."

"Yeah...I'm sorry about what I said to you too. I only made it worse responding to what you said. Can we just-."

"Forget about it all and start over? Yep. Now," he pushed me back gently as we were four feet away," imagine that I have a shirt on and that we aren't lost in the woods. I'm Dexter, and you are?" He smiled, making me smile as I liked this change.

"Renee. Nice to meet'cha. I hope you don't mind me being your mate and barrier, even though this all is so confusing."

Dexter laughed and nodded.

"It's cool. I'll tell you more about what we are and what you are now when we get back home. We will have fun more than I thought." He smirked as I blushed, good thing I have brown skin. It was barely recognizable.

"Well, lets go! I know exactly where the house is now."

"What!? How?"

"Because, since you're my new barrier, I have someone to keep me calm and collected. Thank you for that, and now I have the smell of where the house is. This will be a long one." He said, and then we started walking. Talking to each other as I was now excited for my new future with the twins.

Short? I get it. I just wanted to have Dexter and Renee stop bullying each other and become mates - finally. Now it really will be exciting!
