“Kaley, you never answered my question. Who am I?”
Kota gains her attention again, and for once she looks nervous.
“Uh, well…”
Kaley starts to stutter out and takes time to smooth and adjust her livid pink dress before our hurricane of friends comes blasting up the stairs and saves her from answering the question.
“Would you quit hogging my sister? Where are you guys going anyway? The party’s downstairs.”
Mateo looks at Kota and I suspiciously.
“I was trying to go upstairs and clean up a bit before I went down. I am disgusting from the trials today, but all of you think I am not capable of walking, so I’m stuck here while Kota finishes up his conversation.
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.
