“I don’t know your names,” Anastasia piped up, “I only know that you are the Sinclair twins.

Nothing else.” They stopped sniffing her, “You don’t?” Their expressions were identical looking in confusion.

Anastasia had to stifle the urge to laugh. How were they so similar yet so different? “Yeah.”

“I am Lionel but call me Leo,” said the leader, “I am the elder, that is my brother Logan.”

“Okay,” Anastasia breathed. “Leo and Logan .” She felt a soft kiss on her left cheek. “I love hearing my name on your tongue,” said Leo.

Hands traveled further down near her buttocks. She was jolted out of the blissful dream “Are you claiming me tonight,” Anastasia said anxiously, suddenly realizing that she was in bed with two half-naked alphas.

She was still very scared about that. “I have never taken a knot, let alone two. Will you bite me tonight? Will I get bred?” Her voice became higher pitched from worry, scent souring.

She didn't want to be mounted, she ran away specifically because of that. If they tried to mount her, she wouldn’t be able to fight, they could keep her pinned with just one arm.

“Calm down,” said Leo, stroking her hair softly. “We won’t do that tonight.”

“You will only get knotted when you have your first heat with us,” Logan spoke for the first time, voice rough, “we will mark you during the ceremony in one week.” “I haven’t had my first heat yet,” Anastasia bit her lip.

That was something else she was scared about. First heats are intense and scary, one of the reasons why mating was supposed to be done early.

First heat sex was always the best for the alpha. “You just presented?” Logan asked, his face lifted to stare at him in shock. “That explains why we felt empty for so long,” Leo hummed thoughtfully.

“Two weeks ago the bond suddenly felt more alive. We thought it was a sign that we would meet you soon. Turns out it was just you presenting and finally feeling the bond.”

“So your heat is a month and a half away” Logan stated. He growled lowly and nipped at Anastasia’s ear, causing her to let out a meowl. “I can’t wait to be inside you.”

“Calm down Logan,” reprimanded Leo, “she is still a pup. Our mate needs more care than we thought.”

Anastasia’s scent sweetened at the word Mate. She liked the sound of that.

“Only the best,” Logan agreed, nose flaring at the scent change. “There is still a lot we need to know about you,”

Leo said, his face now more serious. Anastasia turned to look at him, slightly taken aback by how good he looked up close.

Her omega was dying. The eyes were so captivating, and his lips were perfectly shaped. Even his nose was perfect. How did she manage to bag two of these otherworldly alphas? “Your hair,” Logan said simply.

He clearly wasn’t a man of many words. “I am a white wolf as you can tell,” Anastasia nervously explained.

“All I know is that I am very fertile and can heal faster than most.” Leo nodded, “So I'm guessing you didn't get told much about your kind.”

“No, only my mother and brother knew. I only got told to hide. I kept my head shaved or short most of the time and the same with my body. I always wore a scarf. There was this herb dye I used a couple of times for my hair but it would wash out after a few baths and made me smell a little odd so I just kept hiding inside.”

“You are never going to need to hide from now on,” Logan brushed her hair out of her face, “so pretty.”

“Pure whites are oddities that’s why they are very rare. They are born only when the moon blesses the child” Leo started narrating. It was clear who the scholar was.

“Your fertility rates are very high and you produce healthy pups. You will age slowly, so your beauty will last. You also have the power to heal not just your mates but anyone with your tears or saliva. Even your slick has medicinal properties. Very tasty.”

Anastasia pondered on all this, she didn't know half of that. Leo carried on.“Your hair is rare too, clearly.

Every lock is priceless darling, you should grow it out and let it shine.” Anastasia nodded eagerly at that. She had always wanted long hair like the other omegas around her.

Now she finally had the chance to do just that. It was at that moment that her stomach started to growl.

She hid her face in her hands in embarrassment as two identical chuckles resounded above her. “I’ll go get some food. Logan, be gentle,” Leo exited the room, leaving

Anastasia with the other alpha. Logan stood up and lifted Anastasia into his arms and across the room. She squealed at the action, never being manhandled like this so often.

She was gently placed on a seat in the small dining area of the quarters.

Food was brought out alongside Leo as both alphas sat next to her. Anastasia peered at the different meals curiously.

Her pack tended to eat simpler dishes, these were more vibrant. “Eat, my sun. We want you to be healthy,” Leo murmured calmly directly into her ear, so she did just that.

She didn't speak to the alphas for the duration of the meal, choosing to explore the different foods instead. From the way they were glancing at each other, they were having their silent conversation.

“Time to bathe,” Logan’s rough voice filtered through her ears as he rested back against the chair.

“I had one yesterday though,” she argued quietly, still uncertain about the alphas. She didn't know how to properly act around them, in her old pack omegas could never defy an alpha.

“You need to freshen up though, today was hot, and you can bath every day here Keep your scent Fresh” and she was being lifted and moved around.

She would usually kick and make a fuss about being handled like that but she liked the feeling.

It didn't seem malicious, it was caring more than anything. The way she was being touched was so gentle. Anastasia nodded and she let herself be carried by Logan again, it was a weird feeling but she liked the attention. She wasn't sure if this was a custom done by alphas in this pack but she didn’t mind.

She liked the feeling of the broad chest and strong arms on her, it was more contact than she had in years. The alpha was great, especially when he didn't talk. She panicked again when they got into the prepared bath and realized that the alphas were just sitting there, looking at her expectantly. “Are we bathing together,” she asked apprehensively, already scared.

She was really shy about her body, it wasn't something she ever felt comfortable flaunting about. Logan looked like he was about to say something when Leo grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the room, sensing his discomfort.

“Let us know if you need anything,” she heard as the door shut. Anastasia calmed herself and shed the layers she was wearing. Showing her skin was something she just couldn't bear to do.

The bath looked so inviting and smelled amazing. She rarely had such luxuries. Her muscles immediately relaxed as she laid down, relishing the heat for a moment.

Anastasia snapped her eyes open and started to cleanse herself, deciding that finishing the bath quickly would be a good idea.

When she got out after a while, Anastasia spent extra time drying and pampering her hair and skin with different oils.

She never got to do that either. She had to take baths in the river or in the winter just wipe her body down daily with soap and water.

She felt giddy as she lathered herself in the different creams, her skin feeling so moisturized at the end. Anastasia tip-toed back into the room, to see the alphas lounging on the bed waiting for her She fidgeted nervously, unsure if she should jump in or wait for permission.

They did everything differently here. Logan beckoned for her, so she complied, slotting herself between them like before. Hands immediately started grabbing at her, scenting her.

The touches felt so warm and comforting, it was nothing like the random sleazy pokes he would get from older alphas.

She submitted immediately, body losing control to the alphas, her omega wasn't helping either. All the fighting she would do if it was other alphas left her when she was with these two, everything felt too perfect. She heard a growl somewhere above her as teeth grazed over her scent gland, mouthing over where she would get bitten.

She closed her eyes and succumbed to their touches, they weren’t unkind, never unkind. She fell asleep almost immediately to the soothing haze their scents put her in, chocolate, sea salt, and fresh pastries floating around in the air.

She woke up in bed alone, the alpha scents still thick in the air. The scents were foreign, yet it settled deep into her bones as if it was something her omega had been familiar with for years. Nothing had yet to make her scared, so she didn't bother panicking. The alphas claimed she was their mate and treated her nicely. She just hoped that the treatment would continue.

As she stretched her arms out, she felt the warmth on the bedsheets. They had just gotten up. She couldn't remember a time when she slept so well. The alpha scents and presence had given her the ultimate beauty of sleep. With bleary eyes, Anastasia saw Leo Sitting on the desk in the far corner of the room, eyeing some papers. He looked so soft in the plain green garment, tight around his figure, but the material was thin. At that moment, he didn't look like a powerful leader, but a normal alpha doing some work. At the sound of Anastasia's movements, his eyes snapped up and gifted the omega with a warm smile. Anastasia’s thoughts were false. Such an alpha could never be plain, not with such a face and aura. "My sun, you finally are awake," Leo Stood up and walked towards her, leaning against one bedpost. The nickname was new. Sun. Anastasia could only guess that it was a reference to her hair, she wanted to assume further that it was because she was their mate and therefore something they relied on to live just like the ball in the sky, but she couldn't think of herself so highly. "Today we will teach you about our pack."

"Okay," Anastasia said, sheepishly moving off the bed. That was something simple. The omega looked forward to learning about this massive pack and figuring out if the rumors of such a peaceful pack were true.

She stood in front of the alpha awkwardly. What was she supposed to do now? The rules that an omega should follow in the high household were still ambiguous to her. "Go freshen up, I'll get you breakfast," a gigantic hand on her back guided her toward the bathroom. She followed mutely, Leo’s touch making her limp. Her omega seemed to love the alpha so much. "Is there anything you would like?" "Oh no," Anastasia called back. She didn't want to be greedy.

She still didn't know what the cuisine was like in this pack. Everything she had seen the previous night had differed from what she was used to. "Anything is fine." Stepping into the bathroom, she didn't realize how big it actually was.

There had been a curtain the previous day operating the room, but it was now pulled back. The small tub she had used the other night looked dwarfistic compared to the pond-sized tub near it. The larger capacity tub was filled to the brim with petals and oils, just like yesterday. She tentatively steps in, feeling steps beneath her feet she descends further into the tub, the water stopping below her chest. Wow!

She didn't want to keep Leo Waiting, so she cleansed herself quickly, stepping in and stepping out in seconds. As she drew herself out, Anastasia mourned the water, pitying it for not getting the proper usage it should. She promised herself that she'd utilize it to its full capacity some other day.

Anastasia skipped out of the bathroom into where they ate the previous day, Leo was already there with an assortment of fruits and pastries. She abruptly stopped her happy movements, unsure if it was disrespectful. The alpha just looked up and smiled at her, finding it amusing. She relaxed just a little.

"Eat, my sun," Leo gestured to sit. She bowed her head politely and made a move to go past the alpha, only for her arm to be gently pulled back and guided onto the alpha's lap.

"Oh," she exclaimed as she looked at the alpha, who was grinning at her. The omega shield away from the gaze but not the touches, the large hands felt so warm against her body and it felt so nice.

Moving away may be seen as disrespectful, and he didn't want the alpha to be hurt by her actions when everything for her so far had been done with care, she didn't want to anyway.

She was maneuvered so that she was in a better position to eat, the position very relaxing. "Eat," a gentle kiss was placed on the back of her head, arms tightening around her," there is so much you need to be told." Anastasia's eyes fluttered shut at such an affectionate move. Such kisses felt more personal than a normal kiss. It still baffled her why she was receiving such affection. She followed the order and ate diligently, the alpha lounging behind her the whole time. Her presence made her eat faster, he was a busy man and Anastasia felt like wasting his time would not be good.

Leo Guided her into a large office after eating, gesturing for her to sit in the seat on the opposite side of the table. He started rifling through some sheets, trying to find something. Anastasia sank into the chair, the size of it engulfing her.

Her feet didn't even touch the ground. They clearly made it for the alpha. "What will I do in the pack exactly?" she asked tentatively. She hadn't been told off for speaking first before, so she felt brave.

The alpha had come back now with a book, sitting down on the chair next to her and gesturing for the omega to sit on him instead. The omega weaved around the large desk and sat in Leo’s lap again, shuffling around to get comfortable. From the looks of it, omegas got held and carried around everywhere in this pack. She liked it. Such care was never given to omegas back in her pack. "Will I just stay at home and care for our future pups?" "No," Leo Said, placing soft kisses on her neck after he finished rifling through the sheets.

They really loved her neck, huh? "You are our mate, so you have to do more. You need to spend time with the pack members and make sure everyone is okay.

We worry more about safety and repairs, protecting the pack from intruders and any other disasters that may occur. Your job is to take care of the nurseries and children, keep an eye on the infirmary and stores, and make sure no one is homeless and everyone is getting fed. You will also have control over the bank, but that won't be until sometime later."

"Okay," Anastasia perked up. She never really liked staying at home. She loved exploring and meeting new people, even though her identity made that difficult.

The alphas had promised that she had no reason to hide her hair anymore, it was something to flaunt about. How pretty their omega is. That made her more confident. “I like that, do other omegas do what I do as well?” Leo smiled at her, sensing her happiness.

"I'm glad you like that. I refuse to allow you to be unhappy about anything. Our pack is more equal when it comes to responsibilities. We have quite a few omegas who go hunting or do border patrol. Everyone has a job."

"No, I'm happy. This is way better than my old pack. I can't wait to help out, especially in the infirmary and the nurseries. I always wanted to be a part of that but I never really spoke to anyone in my old pack."

“Why's that?” “Because of my hair, I was also one of the few omegas allowed out and about. My father didn't like me because I wasn't an alpha like my brother so I stayed far away from anyone.

I was raised by my older brother my whole life until I had to leave.” “May I ask why you came here my sun? You mentioned that you were traveling.”

“I was never planning on leaving but my brother had to leave to find his mate, he said he would come back in time for me to present but right after I presented I was told that I would be mated to this man, Raphael when my first heat comes. He was already mated and just wanted omegas for fun after his old omega died. I escaped the night I found out because he was very cruel and I didn't want to be with him.

My omega also told me to, if she hadn’t I would never have run away. It was also her who told me to join the competition.” Leo’s scent spiked up and his grip became tighter, showing protectiveness.

“Well, I’m glad you left. You are in an infinitely better place.”

“I think you are correct about that,”

Anastasia smiled at the alpha. It had been less than three full days in this pack and she already was loving it more. Even the short time she spent in the town was pleasant. “What pack were you originally from, my sun?” Leo asked casually as he looked through a letter.

“The valerian pack.” Leo Looked up at her and pondered it. “That's so far away, my love, we went there some time ago, to scout for omegas whilst we went to make a treaty with them.”

As Leo talked about the competition, she was reminded of 3 years ago when they had come to her pack. It was a faint memory, but as Leo talked about it, her memories were refreshed. They had come for the renewal of treaties but were granted with a present from the pack leader as gratitude for the more powerful leaders. It was something smaller packs did to suck up to larger packs such as the Sinclair pack, especially as it was one that no one wanted to mess with them.

They had the best warriors and the majority of the pack was trained in combat, the war wasn't ideal. She remembers being in her room, avoiding all the chatter as all the unmated omegas in his pack were escorted to the twin’s room, one by one. Each of them returned after not even 5 minutes, drawing up the confusion.

The twins left the pack in a state of confusion, especially when the omegas started gossiping about how they were all told to undress in front of the two alphas and told to shift. It seemed to be a beauty contest, which had the prettiest wolf and body.

Everyone has speculated that they were trying to find an appealing omega to lay with, so the many omegas who came back with none staying in had hurt the pack’s pride a lot.

She finally understood the severity of that day. For them to have been so close to their mate, yet unaware that they had yet to present must be so annoying now. She remembers serving them wine on their third night.

All she did was duck into the room, pour a few glasses, and leave. Anastasia remembered catching sight of them and being unable to tear her eyes away, just like the previous day. If only they had stared back, or she had been in the room longer.

The alpha took her around the compound, showing her the different buildings after lunch. It was big, humongous.

Coming from a family that was next in power to the leader, she should be used to such scales. However, her old pack struggled to maintain 2000 members, whilst this one easily was 10 times that size, maybe even bigger. The size of the land clearly would be reflective of its numbers.

Admiring all the buildings and facilities separate from the main pack, she was reminded once again that she had lived in squalor even with wealth. There was a training area for the military personnel for the pack, which was what Logan was in charge of. There were a couple of hundred wolves practicing, Anastasia doubted that this was their whole army though, maybe just a few fighters.

Even with this small number, they could overtake the Valerian pack and a few of the surrounding packs very easily. As Leo walked past, arm firmly wrapped around her, a couple of the wolves looked up and stared at her from the balcony they were on. They were shocked at the sight of her, her hair was out and fluttering around her face.

Anastasia didn't doubt for a second that the news of her appearance could spread around town now. Leo Seemed to be relaxed about showing her off, so she let it go. The alpha wouldn't put her in danger. She automatically decided after that day that he really liked her mate, he was so nice and charming.

Every alpha she had ever met, save for her brother and Evan, had been gruff and dominant. She hated having to submit and losing her sense of control, even if she liked being guided around. She liked having the choice to follow someone, rather than being forced to do anything because an alpha’s aura was too intrusive. Leo Was lovely, strong, but lovely.

He smelt amazing and being in his hold made her feel so safe and protected. It was as if her omega was being lulled into a deep sleep, allowing her to not rely on her senses to keep her out of danger because there was no danger when her alpha was around. She willingly did everything the alpha asked her to do, a command never falling from his lips.

Anastasia would usually be more suspicious if Alpha was so accommodating, but the only thing he seemed to be suppressing was his urge to touch the omega. Anastasia understood the feeling though, all she wanted to do was hold the alpha, the need for physical intimacy never being as strong as it had been the past day, and Anastasia had always been affectionate.
