The Bond Between Two Colors

8: It's Just a Little Scratch

"My name is Alpha Derek," he said, "you have a lovely name."

"Nice to meet you," I said, "I know. My name is quite lovely." I smiled innocently.

All of the men laughed. I blushed slightly but refused to be intimidated by all the Alphas in the room. I was relieved too see that the bastard wasn't here, yet.

Vince pulled me out of my thoughts, "Gentlemen and woman," he said smirking at me, "Shall we head to the dining room now?"

Everyone nodded all filing out of the office. We walked down the hall past the stairs and towards the other hallway. There was a door on the right that was a closet, then a door on the left that was laundry, and finally at the end of the hallway on the right was an opening. It led into a spacious dining room.

The dining room had a long wooden table that was surrounded by 26 chairs. There was 24 on each side and one on each head of the table. The room already had 12 men standing around chatting amongst each other. I spotted Cyan and Gio conversing in the corner. Vince excused himself to go converse with some other Alphas while I walked over to Cyan and Gio.

"Hello guys," I said glancing at Gio before putting my full gaze on Cyan, "Woah Cyan. You look wow."

He visibly blushed, "Thanks Olive, you too."

"Hey what about me?" Gio asked.

We all laughed at him. I looked over Cyan's outfit. He was wearing a beautiful baby blue shirt with gray dress slacks. Wow.

"You look good Gio," I heard Cyan reply.

I watched Gio blush before Vince broke the awkward silence that followed, "May we all have a seat now?" he asked even though it sounded more like a demand.

I watched all the men go over to their specific seats. Vince sat at the head of the table on the side closest to the window. I saw Gio sit to his right, but the seat on the left was empty. Cyan went and sat by Gio while I awkwardly stood there not knowing where to sit. I looked around the table to see three empty chairs. One was mine and I knew who the other two were for. I shuddered.

"Tesoro," Vince said getting my attention.

He gestured to the seat next to him. Everyone had turned to stare at me. I walked over to the chair but on my way there I tripped and almost fell flat on my face. I hurriedly sat down. I looked to see Gio stifling a laugh. I sank into my chair.

"Gentlemen," Vince said as everyone turned their attention on him, "This is Olive," he point to me, "and this is Cyan," he said point to Cyan, "They will be staying with me for a bit. They are twins by the way."

Cyan and I nodded at the men smiling. Vince pointed out everyone's name but after awhile I just zoned him out. I knew I'd only remember Alpha Derek's name.

We began to eat at exactly 7:30 P.M. We were served salad and pasta. After we had all finished the second course and awaited dessert, I heard footsteps walking down the hall. In the doorway appeared my favorite person in the world, note the heavy sarcasm.

I glanced at Cyan who had paled slightly. I offered him a reassuring smile before I turned to see the bastard staring right at me. He had a look of shock upon his face as I noticed bastard number two staring at Cyan. Bastard one blinked before looking at Vince.
