Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 28

Chapter 28 – Should We Go In There?

Badru

Finally, after several agonising hours of tedious but necessary work with our parents, we were free. Neither of us knew where Evie was, but she didn’t feel far. And I liked Astennu’s idea to surprise her with dinner. It was chivalrous as f**k and like something out of the mediaeval tales our father used to tell us of our ancestors. True, we didn’t know her preferences. Fortunately for her, my brother and I would eat anything, so we could gather a selection for her to choose from. Unfortunately for me, the delicacy I wanted on my menu wouldn’t be available for some time.

We walked side by side down to the pack dining hall, to gather up an offering to our goddess and deliver it to wherever her temple resided.

‘I really wish Evie could have seen you in there,’ Astennu shot me a soft look.

‘Why?’ I didn’t feel like I’d done anything differently.

‘You were really strong today, and you didn’t blow up like you usually do. You held it together and I’m really proud of you,’ he slapped my shoulder.

‘Don’t start getting all mushy!’ I felt the heat rising up my neck.

‘Evie would have probably swooned, if she saw,’ he continued, grinning and wriggling his eyebrows.

‘Really?’ A natural tug pulled at the corner of my lips.

‘You’re hopeless,’ he chucked, shouldering me playfully.

My wolf barely had words. He had lost any semblance of composure at the notion of Evie swooning over us.

She had missed us in action twice. The next time we went all Alpha, I would need to make sure it was in front of her. Not that I wanted to show off for her… but I wanted to show off for her, to demonstrate I could be a worthy mate, my brother too.

Entering the dining hall, an excitement washed through me, the captivating and maddening scent of spicy vanilla carried over the other aromas, wrapping around me, leaving a fleeting sensation of her hand on my cheek. My skin virtually tingled at the memory of her skin against mine.

My eyes scanned the hall, seeking her out, my bond drawing me to her like a moth to a flame. There she sat, in one of the private little nooks, through the glass doors…

…Drinking wine with Catalina?!

How long were we in that meeting? Why was that woman with our mate?! What the f**k was going on?!

‘I thought you said she was leaving?’ Astennu stared at the same scene at my side.

‘She said she was! I swear.’

‘Ru?’ He closed his eyes in question, taking a deep breath. ‘What exactly did she say?’

‘After we cleared up the stuff this morning and I made sure she wasn’t going to say anything, I asked if this meant she would leave. She said yeah, sure,’ I explained. Had she lied to me?

He shook his head, ‘I really shouldn’t blame you or be surprised by now.’

‘…She was being sarcastic, wasn’t she?’ I now realised, feeling a little dense.
