“See Dakota, even she thinks you need to put her down and come with me to talk to the Alpha King.”
Kaley jumped into the conversation and twisted my words to her advantage.
“We’ll be down in a bit, you should go and rejoin the party.” Kota says turning, still holding my thigh tight with one hand while punches in the code to the door with the other. I didn’t miss the way he turned to block Kaley’s view of the keypad. If she noticed too, she wisely didn’t say anything.
“Well, I guess I could walk down with her and we could wait for you guys together.” She pointed to Sierra. She’s grasping at straws now.
Kota has the door open, and we all turn to look at her, the guys just as confused as me.
“Sky needs to go to her room and change first, and Sierra needs to check her for injuries that might need to be dealt with. She took a couple of hard
hits today.
We’ll see you in a little bit Kaley.” My brother’s words were polite and about as final as you can get and Kota took the out, turning back towards the
doorway and the stairs leading to our floor.
We started the walk up and I could feel the rest of my friends behind us, moving in a bit of arush. I heard Oliver at the back, “No, you are not allowed
on the third floor.” A growl rumbles from him that sets my stomach buzzing, but not in a bad way. “Move your fingers so they don’t get crushed. Mateo
said we’ll see you later.” Then the distinct click of the door and lock engaging.
“She’s getting more and more desperate and bold, you two are going to have to watch yourselves.” Sam says somewhere behind me.
“Yeah, but she still has no idea which one of us is which, and doesn’t give ash*t. Even if we wanted to take a chosen mate, why would we choose
someone who can’t and doesn’t even try to tell us apart?” Kota says over his shoulder. “She just likes the idea of status and thinks being Luna is just
throwing parties, spending money she hasn’t earned and parading around in front of people. She has no idea how much work our mom does on top
of everything she does with dad.”
“Wait! She can’t tell you two apart? Like, at all?” I ask from my perch.
“No, most people can’t. They tend to just see us as one collective unit.” Cam sighs behind me.
“Even we have a hard time when they dress the same.” Mateo says.
“How is that possible?” We made it to our floor and Kota finally put me down. I wiggled my legs a little to wake them up from having to straddle Kota’s
wide back for so long. “There are so many things about you both that are different.”
“Like what?” Cam asks, crossing his arms, almost in a challenge.
“Well for one, you both have different colored eyes.
That’s a dead giveaway, if anyone pays attention.” I rolled my own eyes as if it was obvious.
“Our eyes are teal, the exact same shade.” Kota says with his eyebrow raised.
“What? No they aren’t!” They have to be trying to mess with me now. “Cam’s eyes are green. It’s a really pretty bright emerald shade and Kota’s are
blue, like the Caribbean ocean. I could see how, if you mixed the colors, that it would look teal though.” I said the last part more to myself than anyon
else.”
And your scents are different, just to name a few.
How could anyone mix you guys up?” I shrug my shoulders and turn towards my room to go get cleaned up and changed.
“Wait, wait, wait! They smell different to you?!” Sam almost shouts. “How is that even possible, when they smell the exact same to the rest of us?”
“Huh?” T turn back around. “What do you mean they smell exactly the same to all of you? Cam smells like a mix of oranges and lemons. It’s a really
clean citrus smell and Kota smells like sweet cinnamon. When they stand together they smell like fall.” I can’t help myself, I close my eyes and take a
deep breath. Their scents are actually really calming.
When I open my eyes, everyone is staring at me like I have lost my mind and I’m starting to feel self conscious.
