Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 43

Chapter 43 – What Would You Do?

“When you say ‘game’, just what exactly do you mean?” I scooted out of Badru’s embrace and eyed them both suspiciously. Mainly Badru because it was both his idea and he was a nugget.

“It’s just a question and answer game,” Astennu pulled away from pouring the third shot and set the bottle down. “You ask a question and the person has to answer. If they don’t, they have to do a shot. It’s easy,” he took one of the small glasses and downed it, barely wincing.

“Don’t you need limes and salt for tequila?” I picked up the remaining shot, giving it a cautionary sniff and taking in the smooth, sweet, spicy and woody scents. This smelt nothing like the cheap stuff I had drunk before.

“Trust me, you won’t need it for this. The pack I buy it from has a really good brewery and distillery,” Badru spoke as I took a small sip. Oooh, that was smooth and at 100% blue agave, I could see why.

I picked up the bottle to inspect the label; produced in Silent Forest pack in Tennessee. I wondered how the wolf paw print and crescent moon from the label fit with their pack.

“How come I’ve never seen this for sale in our pack?” It seemed insane that it wasn’t.

Badru sighed heavily, “one of their Alphas is a former rogue. So, you can imagine why.”

“One of their Alphas? They twins like you? How was only one rogue?”

“They’re mates, and both are Alphas; Eden and… I don’t know the guy’s name, never met him. I don’t really know the story because their pack is all the way across the other side of the country. We only know of Alpha Eden because her dad is Yarrow Saloman,” Astennu explained, pouring out the remaining two glasses.

He, I had heard of. Alpha Yarrow was a legend in the werewolf society, and some of the human societies too, as one of the longest reigning Alphas in the country.

“So, the game?” Badru prodded, looking far too keen. “You playing, or what?”

“Fine, ok,” I relented, hearing my wolf’s snickers of excitement. Like Badru, she was way too eager. “But I don’t know how much I can handle. I’m a lightweight with alcohol and this stuff looks strong.”

I had spotted the percentage on the front of the bottle, it would’ve been enough to give a human alcohol poisoning. A werewolf’s metabolism for alcohol, much like their metabolism for food, was far higher and even more so after they shifted to deal with the energy demands.

“Just take a sip instead of downing the whole thing. The point is to have fun,” Astennu put the bottle down to reach out and stroke my cheek. “We don’t want you getting ill, not that we wouldn’t love nursing you back to health.”

My face heated of its own volition at the soft look in Astennu’s eyes and I was sure I looked like a damned polished apple. What the hell was in the Rolfe genes to give the twins these hypnotically beautiful eyes? I knelt on my knees, so that Badru couldn’t go looking up my shorts again. I would’ve wrapped a blanket around me, but that opened the questions ‘are you cold’ and ‘my arms would feel much warmer’ from the twins. My brain was already a little stupid around them at the best of times and I didn’t want to be poking the wasp nest of temptation any further under the influence of alcohol. No smart idea ever began with the phrase, ‘I was drinking tequila when..’
