Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 38

CHAPTER 38 – AN ENRAPTURED AUDIENCE?

Astennu

“Lucy, slow down,” Evie dropped mine and Badru’s hands, grasping her friend’s shoulders to calm her and make some sense. “Why have you gone all high-strung?”

‘f**k I knew I was right to be worried,’ Aasim groaned. ‘What the hell has our smother planned?’

Whatever this ‘surprise’ was she had in store, involved the multiple wolf auras I was sensing.

… Goddess, tell me she wouldn’t!

Lucy’s features contorted in a grimace, “your mother has kinda invited a bunch of unmated she-wolves to see if-” her words were interrupted by the door to our right opening.

I knew what she was about to say, to see if any of them were our mate.

“Ahibbaa! (Darlings!)” My mother bustled towards us. “There are some very eager faces waiting to meet my beautiful boys.”

I loved my mother, I truly did. But she had not only reached the limits of my tolerance with her meddling, she had surpassed it.

“’Umiy, nahn bihajat ‘iilaa altahaduth, (mom, we need to talk,)” I hissed, grabbing her wrist to pull her into the kitchens with my twin, who I could sense was equally as pissed, and our mate following close behind.

‘Don’t worry, Lucy. We got this,’ Badru mind-linked, flashing her a courteous smile before we disappeared through the doorway.

“You invited a bunch of she-wolves?!” He exclaimed before the door swung closed.

“Habibi (darling), don’t shout,” our mother chided, eyeing Evie curiously, obviously wondering why she had followed. “Evie, be a dear and take this through while we speak,” she handed her a tray, expecting her to go on her merry way.

Our mate’s mouth formed a tight line, a tiny sigh escaping her pursed lips. I was about to argue that Evie was going nowhere. She was about to be the key topic of discussion, but she silenced me with a pleading look in her eyes.

‘You talk to her in here. I’ll take this out to keep her happy for the next 30 seconds before she blows her top.’

‘Coward. You just want us to do the dirty work,’ Badru narrowed his gaze.

‘She’s your mom.’

‘We’re gonna need some compensation later, ammar,’ I challenged, my words holding promise.

“It’s just a little gathering. No need to get worked up so much,” our mother tried to reach out and cup our cheeks, but the two of us pulled away, annoyed with her interfering.

“You need to stop pushing women at us!” I fumed, a growl almost ripping from my throat, one that I somehow managed to contain.

“I just want to see you happy, to feel the joy of the mate bond,” her eyes glistened, looking between us, my anger melting away instantly. “You’re both such sweet boys and you deserve your mate, I’m just trying to help that along. Now, come on. She may be in there waiting for you.”

‘Technically, she ain’t wrong,’ Aasim inappropriately snorted in laughter.

I didn’t have time to respond to his inane comment, as our mother was brushing past us to rejoin this pointless soiree she was throwing. Badru and I shared a fleeting yet serious glance, rushing after her before this farcical affair escalated any further.

“Mom, you need to stop because we’ve already found our mate!” Badru announced rather loudly, as we marched through to the parlour.

The low din of the room evaporated, a hush falling upon the occupants.
