Mated to the Alpha Twins

Read Mated to the Alpha Twins [by Jane Doe] Chapter 29 – Aurora

I left the note, changed my clothes in one of the many bathrooms and left for work.

Today was a school day, but that didn’t bother me. My boss was so desperate to find someone to cover an extra shift, he didn’t even ask about school.

I sent Tori a quick text, letting her know I didn’t need a ride to work. She was in school, which forced me to walk. I never minded walking, it gave me time to think and clear my head. Unfortunately, I had too much to think about at the moment.

I was sure Garrett would give me a ride to work, but I truthfully didn’t want to ask. I felt smothered in his huge house, surrounded by people who didn’t want me there (Lucy excluded).

By the time I made it to the restaurant, my booted foot was aching. The pain wasn’t as bad, but it was still annoying to walk on.

‘One miracle is good enough.’ I told myself, thinking about my magically healing face.

The next few hours, work was effortless. There were no kids from school in the restaurant, no one I knew sitting down for a meal. It was peaceful, and was the least stressed I felt this entire week. I could simply get lost in my thoughts and focus on not spilling any more drinks.

Once three o’clock came around, new faces began showing up. Tori walked through the front door, her flaming hair a mess from the wind. She clocked in and gave me a sympathetic smile. I took a deep breath, knowing she’d want an explanation on why Garrett was here.

And that was how the next few hours went. I explained my strange situation, and Tori did what she could to comfort me. She didn’t give me any s**t for missing school, claiming I had enough to deal with at the moment.

“I’m still planning our shopping trip, Aurora.” Tori cocked her eyebrow. “Rich Father or not, were getting you some new clothes.”

I rolled my eyes, “New clothes are not at the top of my list right now.”

“Clothes should always be at the top of every list.” Tori shook her head, and mumbled to herself.

‘She’s right y’know.’ Thalia chimed in, giving me a shrug.

‘You can’t even wear clothes.’ I hissed, ‘You’re a disembodied voice in my head.’

‘Rude.’ Thalia scoffed, ‘Bet I still have better style than you.’

With Thalia’s well placed retort, she faded to the back of my mind.

“Why couldn’t the voice in my head be nice?” I mumbled to myself, “No, instead I get a mean voice that just hurts my feelings and confuses me.”

“Tough love, b***h.” Thalia growled before disappearing again.
