Fated to the Alpha Twins by Osarumwense Osakue

I’ll be honest. I was very confused he first time I encountered Fated to the Alpha Twins by Osarumwense Osakue on GoodNovel because a few years ago I read Mated to the Alpha Twins by Jane Doe. It is one of my favorites of the stories Jane Doe has written to date. I know, I know, it isn’t the same thing, but it was so similar (one letter difference) that I think my eyes skipped over it. That being said, despite my skepticism, I gave it a shot.

Another reason that I decided to give it a shot is because despite the author being African (based on the author name) they have surprisingly good English.

Are they really fated mates?

Fated to the Alpha Twins by Osarumwense Osakue starts with Lily, the female lead character (FLC), being bullied by Liam and Lucas, the Alpha twins with whom she is supposed to be fated mates.

From the context, I understand that Liam and Lucas are already 18. Lily, on the other hand, was just about to turn 18. What does this mean? Based on standard werewolf lore, where fated mates sense each other at 18, Liam and Lucas already know, but they still chose to bully her. On Lily’s part, as she is hours away from turning 18, it means she should be feeling an attraction to the twins.

That isn’t what happened.

Instead, the twins (and the entire school) continue to bully her. Then, on the night that Lily turns 18, she feels no pull to a mate and tries to leave and cross the border and finally be free, only to be stopped by the twins and INFORMED that they were mates.

Again, there was no attraction. If anything, there was just disgust. She was dragged back “for the benefit of the pack” and forced into a mating ceremony, again, for the pack. Lily (and we, the readers) will have to take their word for it that it was the Moon Goddess’ will because there was just no indicator of this at all.

No scenting.

No touch.

No attraction.

No divine intervention.

They still are not attracted to each other. As a matter of fact, Liam has a girlfriend, Lexa, who thought she was going to be Luna, who threw a fit when it turned out they were not fated. After the mating ceremony? Business as usual. What do I mean by that? I mean that aside from not being able to leave to have a chance at a better life, Lily also continues to be bullied by her “mates” and the pack, especially those she goes to school with.

HOW IS THIS A MATE BOND?!?

In the meantime, another Alpha enters the picture. Alex meets her and is kind, caring, and protective. Lily finds herself drawn to him. Lily’s first kiss? Alex. She pulls away, says “it’s complicated,” and leaves. How difficult would it have been to tell the truth? Is it just too soon for Alpha Alex to know he was kissing the supposed Luna of the pack? Isn’t that something that should have come up earlier, like, before they kissed?

What kind of romance is this?

Since the title is “Fated to the Alpha Twins” it immediately implies bully romance since Liam and Lucas are her bullies (and continue to do so). It also implies it is a reverse harem story, which has not yet manifested 30 chapters later.

This story has 180 chapters. and I have questions.

• How many more chapters do I need to read before I find out if Liam and Lucas are ever going to be proper mates?
• Will the Moon Goddess ever show up?
• Is Alex secretly a twin and, therefore, it is actually Alex and his twin that Lily is supposed to be mated to? Why was the Alpha family so sure Lily was mated to Liam and Lucas?
• What’s with all the “L” names?
• How did the author not think calling Liam’s girlfriend Lexa, and calling the other Alpha, Alex would not be confusing?
• Am I wasting my money continuing to read this story HOPING it gets better and my questions get answers?

Cover design

I also think they should have the cover redesigned because, why, oh why, would they think having cheated margins is okay? The text gets truncated EVEN before I placed it in the frame! Don’t believe me? Check out the link on Goodnovel.
