Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 14

Chapter 14 – Do My Eyes Deceive Me?

Astennu

Back in my room, Evie’s spiced vanilla scent seeped into my soul once again; she had been in here too. Her scent was like physical tendrils that reached out, wrapping around my body, pulling me in whatever direction they wished and I was powerless to stop it, not that I would ever want to.

There was a basket of laundry dropped all over my floor. This must have been where she figured it out and then went running to my brother’s room for confirmation.

I picked through the items, piling what belonged to Badru to the side out of what our mother had sent off to be freshened up in our absence. I always told her it wasn’t necessary, but she always insisted, no matter what. One item, in particular, caught all my attention, a white dress shirt of mine that had the faintest hint of Evie’s scent on it. I hung that one aside to be worn tonight. It wasn’t much of her scent and my own would soon cover it. But my wolf was doing circles to wear something that had her smell, to feel marked by her in some way, like we were claimed… Aasim truly was clutching at straws. Goddess, I hoped I hadn’t messed this up for him.

Before I showered, there was one place I needed to go first, to see someone of great importance.

Out in his field, I could tell when he spotted me. His ears and tail twitched and swished. Heru soon came galloping over in his winter jacket, whinnying in excitement.

“Hey, boy,” I stroked up the side of his face and patted his neck, pressing my forehead against his.

He became restless, nosing at my pocket insistently.

“Can’t hide a thing from you, can I?” I handed over the apple from my pocket I grabbed from my family’s private kitchen.

He was always so well looked after while I was away. I didn’t get down here like I used to before my duties as future Alpha started to pile up and I missed being able to look after him myself. Heru was accustomed to my wolf form too. He and Aasim would chase each other around the paddock and on the mountain trails.

The sun was starting to dip beyond the trees, so I opened the paddock gate to let him trot off. Instead, he walked by my side to his stable. Once I had his blanket off and fed him, I was about to leave, but I spotted a stable hand.

“Welcome back, Alpha,” the Omega bowed his head respectfully.

It was rare that I ran into anyone here. I usually stopped by when no one was around, so I decided to ask who took care of Heru so well; it was impressive that my horse had taken to someone else.

“Hey, who takes care of Heru when I’m away?”

“Most of us pitch in as we all do with the other horses, Alpha. But, uh, he can be a little picky with people,” he eyed Heru warily.

I flashed a little grin at my horse. He could be temperamental when he wanted to be, but that was if you approached him incorrectly. He had to come to you and didn’t take kindly to being pushed into things. What he needed was patience.

“…I think it’s that tall Omega she-wolf, Evie, that looks after him the most. She’s the only one he lets get close,” the Omega continued.

I turned to look at the stable hand, stunned. “Really?”
