Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 49

Chapter 49 – Am I Understood?

Evie

‘I don’t feel very contained,’ Evva chirped in a flat sing-song voice.

I reached down to centre myself further, no longer relaxed and now straining in my meditation. I pressed my lips together in a tight line, attempting to concentrate on the pocket in my mind where my wolf resided, to quieten her presence.

After eating, my mates had asked if I wanted to join them in some meditation. They said they usually tried to get in a couple of sessions a week, just before they were due to lead training. It aided in helping them suppress their auras, giving them greater control over themselves as Alphas. While it may have sounded counterproductive to hide their Alpha auras – an innate power passed down through bloodlines meant to announce their presence and authority – it could give them a tactical advantage in surveillance or aid in blending into their environment better.

I had no aura to suppress. But if I could gain a greater control over Evva in my mind, I could perhaps reach her easier when her presence was clouded.

Neither Luna Qamar of Alpha Isaac had returned after my mates and I had quietly eaten breakfast. They had mind-linked their parents, to make sure their mother was ok, and she was. She just needed a moment from wherever her memories had thrown her to.

Before I had sat to meditate, Lucy had mind-linked me that she and Catalina would be back later in the afternoon or evening. They were taking it slow on their return and waiting for the low cloud to clear up before setting off. My friend was doing much better and virtually back to her old self. Her heat hadn’t been anywhere near as bad as we had feared it would be. Her bond with Finley was truly broken.

I was already planning to have her room straightened out before she arrived; her bedding would be changed, her laundry done and there wouldn’t be much to clean up, being the neat freak that she was.

And maybe while I waited for her return, I could give this meditation thing another go, because Evva wasn’t the least bit affected by my efforts so far.

No matter how hard I laboured.

All my wolf did was snicker louder. ‘Are you meditating or pooping?’

“Do you have any wolfsbane?” I flopped backwards onto Badru’s bedroom floor. “I will deal with the burning. It’ll be less painful than dealing with my wolf.”

Astennu chuckled. “Personally, I can’t wait to meet her properly,” he disrupted his own trance to lean down and kiss my forehead. “She sounds as beautiful and peppery as you.”

My mouth worked, wanting a cute but smart-mouth response. Only, I came up short.

‘I think he likes you blubbing like a fish,’ Evva huffled to herself, even though I had just felt her swooning like a schoolgirl.

“I’m hoping she’ll like to tussle around a little too,” Badru stroked my sides, attempting to pinch at my ribs.

‘Oh, we are pinning his ass,’ my inner wolf growled in anticipation.

But what shocked me, was that it was louder and more guttural than I had heard before.

Badru’s hands stopped with immediate effect. “Did I just piss Evva off?”

“No. And I’m not ticklish by the way,” I wiggled my fingers in front of his face. His elbows shot into his sides to protect himself from any further attack. “She was just very eager for your idea of tussling.”

A dirty smirk slinked across his lips and he leaned forward, inching closer for a kiss. I knew where his mind was heading and it was the deepest recesses of the gutter.

“When she says ‘tussle’, I think she actually wants to fight,” I slapped my hand over his mouth to push him away. “And she doesn’t mean a play fight either.”

His eyes were coal black swirled with sparkles of sapphire tones in an instant. His wolf, like him, wasn’t indignant at the challenge, he was excited by it.

Her laundry was done and put away, her bed was freshly made with clean sheets and I had set up her heated fleecy blanket.
