Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 61

Chapter 61 – What Did They Do?

“I do not think I could ever accept another, not after Heathe-”

“Dad?” I shook my father’s arm, confused as to why he had stopped, not only, mid-sentence, but mid-stride.

And growling, in a low rumbling timbre? What had he seen? He was frigid in his stance.

I followed his line of sight to the lakeshore… to my friend Lucy… who turned her head away from gazing out at the early morning mist upon the water’s surface to stare wide-eyed back at my father.

‘…Oh snap,’ Evva looked on in my mind, stunned even more so than I.

What strange universe had I slipped into? My father and my friend? My best friend of five years, with whom I shared everything, who was also a year younger than me? And just to confirm this bizarre turn of events, I heard my father mutter ‘mate’ under his breath and saw Lucy mouth the word in reply.

The moon goddess had to be shitting me…

‘She must have given him a thing for redheads too,’ my wolf nervously chuckled.

Now I thought about it, it was obvious. Both my mother and Lucy had gingery red hair, hazel eyes, and Lucy had always been an old soul and the ‘mom-friend’ of the group.

… I could practically hear all the step-mom jokes already.

And as if on cue; ‘looks like Lucy’s gonna be calling him daddy, too,’ Badru mind-linked.

‘So it begins…’ Evva slapped her paw down her face. And if there had ever been a time I wanted to slap that nugget, now would be that time.

‘I swear to goddess,’ I silently retched. ‘You ever say those words again and I will chokehold you.’

‘Is that a promise?’ He smirked down at me from the side, a genuine fire of excitement dancing within his pulsating sapphire eyes.

‘When that brain cell of his dings the horny switch, it dings it hard,’ Evva pinched her brow in exasperation.

Without warning, Lucy suddenly ran, bolting through the trees. The woollen tribal print wrap around her shoulders billowed behind her, fluttering to the ground and a faint choked sob rang out. My father’s figure twitched, wanting to give chase, but ultimately remained fixed in his spot, not knowing how to proceed. I was about to run after her, when his quiet voice stopped me.

“You… know her?”

“Yeah,” I winced. There was no easy way to say this other than to be direct. “Lucy Maddrell. She lives across the hall from me. And she’s been my best friend for a while… and she’s about my age…”

He gave a curt nod, swiftly avoiding my eye contact, and I could swear I spotted a hint of blush under his beard.

“I need to go after her,” I began moving forward. “She’s not had the easiest time recently. You’re both each other’s second chance mates. Her first wasn’t good to her… it ended in a rejection. Astennu and Badru will fill you in.”
