Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 19

Chapter 19 – Knock?

I let out a tired yawn while lying on my back in my bed. I knew the party my mother had planned was going to be a difficult affair, but I hadn’t prepared for it to be as eventful. All this time, Finley had been blessed with his mate and he had thrown it all away so easily. I was sceptical of his future as our Beta before, but now it was sealed. How could I have a wolf stand with us and lead the pack as a role model when he had done something so heinous? Beta Kate wouldn’t be happy about any of it; both her son losing his position and him acting so shamefully. My dad would be none too happy either. This was not the reputation he wanted our allies to associate with Two Moons. Though I admired my father as an Alpha, he preoccupied himself with ‘reputation’ too much at times; something I wish I had stood up to a long time ago…

Having to gaze at Evie all night from afar, had been the worst torture of the evening. All I wanted was to have her at my side and introduce her as my mate to the world, no matter what my parents may have said on the matter.

Goddess, the vision of her in that dress…

All night I had felt increasingly uncomfortable and my clothes too tight.

‘Not as tight as her dress. Those cherries of hers looked magnificent,’ Aasim sighed, sprawled out in my mind as his thoughts drifted to our ammar (moon).

‘Don’t get carried away. I doubt we’ll be sampling her fruit for a long time.’

‘Please don’t f**k this up. I can’t stress how much I don’t want to die a virgin,’ he whimpered.

I wished I could comfort him and say I had the situation under control, but the truth was, there was none. No one made me this unsure of myself. I always thought I could plan anything, but Evie? I was completely thrown from behind the wheel with her. I prided myself on my own personal control and she destroyed any control of myself I thought I had. And my brother’s turmoil wasn’t helping. All evening his anxiety had been simmering to the point I wasn’t sure what was mine and what was his.

‘Aste, you up?’ My brother’s voice filled my mind.

‘You know I am.’ We could sense when each was awake or passed out, among other things. There were both enormous gains and drawbacks to our twin bond.

I dragged myself out of bed and grabbed a pair of shorts to throw on, just as my door opened. Like most grown werewolves, I preferred to sleep naked. Our body temperature ran at 41°C, so sleeping in layers at night could be a little much.

adulthood. It was a form of comfort, like in our wild wolf relatives, especially when we and our wolf spirits were tense. The upsides to our twin bond were we always knew how the other felt, there could be no lies between us. And if anyone wanted to challenge our title, they needed to challenge the two of us. One of the downsides was that physical separation over long distances was straining, painful even. Before we shifted, the few
