Author's Note: Hi my readers! If I still have any... My lights are currently back on but now I have no internet. If this is posted one of two things happened: 1.My phone is back on, therefore, my internet is back on, or 2. I was able to hook up to an open Wi-Fi connection. This chapter is longer than usual. (I had a lot of time on my hands with no electricity) I plugged up my laptop wherever I could! Therefore, I present to you the fourth installment of Twin Tigers. (Rate, comment, the usual...)
XOXO, GOSSIP GIRL... J/P
E.B OVER AND OUT!
Ana was not surprised when shortly after she laid her head on her pillow, her eyes closed and she appeared in the library again. She saw Nic sitting in one of the chairs by the lit fireplace. She walked towards him and slid into the seat across from him.
"Ciao Bella, how are you feeling tonight?"
"I'm doing better. Again, I am truly sorry for the breakdown last time. It's just, have you ever had your life turned upside down in a matter of minutes? Everything you once thought you knew being skewered and uncertain?"
Nic looked at his mate and knew exactly how she felt. The memory of losing his father and forced out of the pack was coming back to him. The years of living as a lone wolf, the tightness in his chest made him realize how alone he has been for the past years. Nic gazed at the woman across from him. He started at her flowing hair, flowing past her shoulders in a ponytail. Her eyes focused intently on the flame from the fireplace, shining in their uncertainty. Her plentiful breast incased in a bra and tank top. Her shapely legs covered by sweatpants with her feet placed inside some duck slippers.
He chuckled behind his hand. Ana looked towards him and followed to where he focused his eyes. She blushed.
"Don't laugh at my slippers. They are warm and soft."
"You sure you don't need to take them to the pond?" Nic said laughing fully out now.
"Oh so you have jokes. Well let's see if this is funny." Ana said and then willed him into the air.
"Whoa! Put me down please!" Nic said as he flipped in the air.
"Aw... you want to come down?" Ana said lowering a little bit.
"Please I'm not the best at high altitudes." Nic said closing his eyes.
Ana placed him back in his seat. Nic opened his eyes and walked towards Ana. Ana started behind her chair and Nic eyes took a hold of a deep amber. Ana own eyes reflected in a deep ocean blue. She kept backing up as Nic kept advancing towards her. With his wolf close to the surface, he tried to tell her to stop but it was too late, she had already started to turn and run in a sprint. Nic felt his wolf take control as it basked in delight at the chase of their mate.
Ana ran down the three flights of steps and headed outside. She weaved through the trees and climbed up a big sturdy oak. Nic followed her scent and stopped at the tree. He looked into the branches but did not see her. He walked past the oak tree and headed deeper into the woods. As he cleared the oak he felt a presence and turned around just in time to catch a flying Ana. He wrapped his arms around her and took the brunt of the fall. Sliding to a stop, he rolled her under him.
He looked into her eyes and saw her naughty desires. He kissed her cheek first, and then went to her nose. He kissed her other cheek and licked her ear lobe. She gasped at the sensation. He kissed from her ear and made a trail along her neck. She bowed into his body and felt his arousal. She ground her hips against him. He moaned at the contact and started moving his mouth lower towards her breasts. She moaned at the contact and kept grinding on his erection.
Nic ripped Ana's shirt off her and started to devour her breast. He licked her nipple and watched it harden in the cool night air. He licked the other one and heard Ana moan. He felt her wrap her legs around him and start grinding faster.
Nic felt his control slipping and jumped up. He started to back up quickly but noticed the look in Ana's eyes as one of a cat with a prey. He slowly backed away into a tree.
"Ana we can't do this. One this is a dream. We don't know what will happen; if we mate and people find out what you are, it might do more harm than good. We have to take precautions or something bad will happen. Did you hear me?" Nic said when he noticed her slinking towards him on all fours.
He could feel his wolf wanting to break free and establish the bond with their mate but he can't.
Come on! She is already in position; just take her already!
No! We have to do this right. If we mate with her now we may lose her later. What are we going to do then?
Nic heard his wolf whine and recede to the back of his mind.
He looked at Ana and watched the blue bleed from her eyes.
"Oh, Nic I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over me. One minute I'm standing there and the next I'm dry humping you!"
"It's okay Bella. Your tiger just wanted to take charge and mate."
"What are we going to do? It's too dangerous to meet in person."
"I don't know Bella. I am going to talk to my sister. You should talk to someone too. We have to take precautions now Bella, who knows what will happen if we do mate?"
"I can talk to my aunt Natalia. She was there for my mom; I'm sure she can help us."
"Do that. It seems the work of an Alpha is never done." Nic said as he felt himself waking up.
He walked up to Ana and kissed her hard.
"I will see you next time Bella." Then he vanished.
Even with the thoughts running through her head Ana smiled at the fact that he said he loves her.
**+*+*+**
Addie sat on the porch swing with her feet folded under her. She wrapped the blanket she grabbed off the back of the couch tighter to her body. She heard crickets and saw fireflies. She breathed the fresh air in deeply. Her worries crept back up on her.
What did I do to deserve this? Why did I agree to come here?
Addie closed her eyes and breathed in the crisp night air.
What will happen later?
Natalia walked onto the porch and noticed Addie sitting still with her eyes closed.
Adina? Are you okay?
No, I just do not want this to happen. Everything will change!
I am sorry you feel that way sweetheart. It will only affect you if you let it. Yeah things will change, but not so much where your whole life will be different. If you do not accept what is happening, you will always be at constant war with yourself. I will teach you both how to fight in a battle tomorrow, I hope your view will be different by then.
Natalia walked back into the house and left Addie with her thoughts.
**+*+*+**
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Ana slammed her hand on her alarm clock.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Ana hit the alarm clock again.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Ana knocked the clock on the ground and sat up.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Ana closed her eyes and chuckled.
Real funny guys, a simple 'wake up' or tapping would have done the trick and would have saved my alarm clock from a harsh landing.
Sorry Ana, Nat said 5 am and it is now 5:30 am.
And exactly what was the problem?
You are late and you now have an extra mile
Of what, may I ask?
Running
Come on Nat! Please I will be down in ten!
Do not care; you slept late so you have to do extra
Aw man, this is cruel and unusual punishment
No this is training and it needs to be taken seriously
I am guessing you are serious then
Oh, you know it. On your way running to the park, can you get us some coffee?
You're there already?
Yep we drove. You have no car, so you have to run here, thus doing an extra mile.
This is so petty
Not my problem, now move those cheeks sister! We need to start!
Ana, after dressing during the mental conversation with Nat, pulled a hoodie over her head and grabbed her wallet. She ran out the door and headed towards the park, stopped at the Starbucks down the block from the park, and continued heading towards Nat and Addie who were stretching. As Ana approached the two, she felt someone watching her. She turned around just in time to see a shadow of a man shimmer away.
Ana, scared out of her mind, rushed to Nat.
"Nat did you see that?"
"See what Ana?"
"That guy, he just faded away by that tree over there."
"No I didn't." Nat looked at Addie but she shook her head no.
"Will the necklaces to you girls. Whoever that was may have brought friends along."
Both girls willed their necklaces into their hands and placed them on their necks. They could feel the power racing through their bodies. Nat started to chant a protection spell.
Both girls looked up and saw a dome appear around them.
"This is a protection dome. No one can see in or harm us, yet, we can see them. Any magic we do will not go pass the barrier."
"Magic, what magic?"
"Well you're part Ancient, white tiger, and wolf. You have magical abilities that have not shown up yet. You will be able to complete spells like me."
"Okay... What's first?"

Nat started with hand-to-hand combat, then shifted into her hybrid form and battled them again. Next, she turned into her full wolf and fought them.
After a ten-minute break, Nat made a large chest appear. She took out knives, guns, and other weaponry.
"You should master at least one of these weapons. Whether it is guns, blades, nun chucks, or a mace, you should master one because sometimes your abilities cannot help you or you cannot battle in your tiger form to get the upper hand. Now me, I master in the blades. I can throw knives, launch spears, and sling spikes. "
Nat took out a belt full of different knives and tied it around her waist. She made a target and sandbags appear on the other side of the dome, and then told the girls to step back. She reached towards the belt and started throwing knives at the target. When she was finished each knife, ranging from biggest to smallest, lined the outer ring with the smallest knife in the bull's eye.
"Oh my goodness Nat that was amazing!" Addie exclaimed.
"Thanks." Nat said walking up to the bull's eye and replacing the knives into the belt.
Ana walked up to the chest and pulled two 1911 Colt 45 pistols out. She tested their weight and took the safety off both guns. She aimed at the target and emptied both clips. When she finished she looked towards Nat and Addie, who both had on earplugs and stepped away from her.
All three walked towards the target and saw she got almost all 16 shots on the bull's eye.
"Wow Ana! Those years of hiding that pellet gun in your closet paid off." Nat said with a twinkle in her eye.
"How did you know?"
