Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 99

CHAPTER 96 – HE?

Badru

Astennu hadn’t ever shut me out like this before. Our anger and hurt were one and the same, but the way my brother’s detonated while mine retained its composure was alien and foreign territory.

“Divide and conquer.” That was all he would say to me.

How would we divide the interrogation of our father to conquer it, if he was leaving it all to me?

‘I don’t think it was Isaac he meant, slow poke,’ Baniti muttered, while I watched our twin burst through to their midnight wolf as soon as his feet were clear of the prison grounds.

He was heading north?

…Finley.

There was no way for me to stop him. He was far faster and more agile than I could ever be, even sleep deprived as we both were. If I gave chase, there wouldn’t be much of Finley left by the time I caught up. But did I necessarily want to stop it? Why would I want to deny that asshole the beating he had coming.

If Astennu could get the location of our mate, I was free to discover the motives of the former Alpha so nothing like this would ever happen again. I just hoped he would be ok on his own; another foreign sentiment, worrying over Astennu being the impulsive i***t.

Heading back inside the prison, solo, I was met with the scrutinous gaze of Kate, who noted instantly I was alone, and Tamlyn, who pretended to be minding her own business, but the woman had a knack for smelling the shift in mood.

‘He just needed to cool off,’ I stuck to the half-truth and nodded towards the prison door to continue my questioning like everything was fine. f****d up, but fine.

I was an ass for lying, but if I told her, Kate would go running after. She could hate what her son did all the livelong day, it didn’t mean that she wouldn’t want to protect her son. And Astennu needed whatever time I could afford him to get his answers while I got mine.

She gave me a stiff nod, which I didn’t know was from tension or disbelief, and reopened the gate.

Not wishing to go in and fully test the tether of my anger’s restraint, I remained in the frame and proceeded.

“Since you don’t know where Evie is, let’s start with what you do know. Janet, what was her role in all this?” I could see my father looking past me, searching for my brother’s figure alongside mine. Was he disappointed Astennu wasn’t coming back?

“She tampered with Lucy’s water to make sure that she remained unconscious. She used my master code to gain access and was only meant to take the locket from Evie’s room, but she found the patrol schedule as well.”

“Do you even realise how much Astennu blamed
