Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 39

CHAPTER 39 – COMPENSATION?

Evie

I knew coming out as the twins’ mate would be received about as well as a day-old fish kept at room temperature with Luna Qamar, and yet the entire reveal had surpassed my wildest expectations.

‘You kept your dignity though,’ Evva sniggered. ‘Ok, you look as though a potato ejaculated all over you, but you did it with flair.’

‘Thank you for the reminder,’ I replied with little humour.

It wasn’t until I stepped out of Alpha Isaac’s office that a chuck of potato tumbled from my hair, reminding me of the chaotic tornado I must have looked like. Exactly the image to portray in front of the leader of the pack who I would form part of his succession. And I was sure his mate had sung my praises to high heaven after I had screamed at her.

‘Why do you even care what she thinks?’ My wolf muttered in irritation. ‘Personally, my field of f***s to give over that woman is getting a little barren.’

‘Because whether you like it or not, she and Isaac are now our family,’ and to my surprise, thus far, the Alpha had taken it in his stride quite well. He hadn’t offered any kind words of congratulations either, but at least he was giving me a chance, which was more than I could say for Qamar.

What I had wanted was to rip the bandaid off in one clean motion. Instead, half the skin had been ripped off along with it, leaving a bloody and painful gash that all had bared witness to.

I was a situation to be corrected, a mistake in her eyes. The Luna had stated it, point blank, to a room full of she-wolves that one day I may have to work with in the future and that would forever be their first impression.

Astennu had begun his silent ranting as soon as the door closed to his father’s office.

“Our mother says she wants us to feel the joy of the mate bond and, in the same breath, after we make our feelings clear, she’s demanding we reject you?! What the actual f**k!” He repeated for what I had counted as the fourth time.

“I think that’s when she thought your mate would be some prim and titled she-wolf socialite,” I reasoned. Clearly, the uncouth Omega rogue yet to shift did not cut the mustard.

A part of me wanted to hope that I might have been accepted. While, yes, it was unexpected that out of all the she-wolves of the pack, I would be the twins’ mate. I wanted the Luna to see there must be a reason why I was chosen for them and they for me.

Badru, conversely to his brother’s ranting, chose to focus on the more humourous aspect of the afternoon.

“I can’t believe you told her to f**k off,” he chuckled lightly. “I haven’t seen her that pissed since I drew all along the living room walls in her expensive lipstick.”

“Part of me wants that to be recently,” I nudged his shoulder.

“Very funny. I was seven.”

“You really think I’m remarkable?” He asked, raising my hand interlocked with his own to his lips.

“I mentioned Aste too.”

However, it was no use. Badru was in whatever dream world his mind had absconded off to, focused on his own version of my words. The boyish grin dopily spread on his lips was evidence enough.

If it kept him a happy nugget, who was I to ruin it?

Walking hand in hand with my mates on either side of me and heading for my room, I didn’t care if we were seen. The gossip would already be spreading like wildfire. The she-wolves attending the mate parade might not have been from our pack, but the Omegas working were and they would be spreading the news as fast as they could mind-link.

But it wasn’t entirely my room I was aiming for.

“Where are you going?” Astennu inclined his head when I stopped short of my door.

“To check on Lucy first before I shower.”

I smelt like a mayonnaise-covered horse and I could feel the creamy sauce starting to dry against my skin, caking uncomfortably. As desperate as I was to be clean, Lucy was more important.

Her door was unlocked, so I poked my head in to see her lying on her bed, a cold compress laid on her forehead.

“Luce? You ok?” I walked into her room and sat by her side. She seemed a little spacey.

Her mouth opened to speak, but the sound came from behind me.

“I think she’s going into heat,” Astennu stared at the open room as though it was on fire, his nose twitching.

“I thought so, too,” Catalina walked out of the bathroom wringing a newly chilled washcloth in her hand. “So you boys better stay the hell out of here, unless you want your ruts triggered,” she slammed the door in their faces.

Even though they were mated to me, they were unmarked and the pheromones of an unmarked she-wolf could potentially set off their mating response; whether they wanted it or not. Her scent in heat could also trigger a heat cycle in other she-wolves around her, too, with prolonged exposure.

‘I don’t know how bad it’s gonna be for her, yet. Her circumstances aren’t exactly normal,’ Catalina looked on worriedly, replacing the compress.
