Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 100

CHAPTER 97 – PAYING THE PRICE?

Badru

“You ok?” Tamlyn tapped her cane to find me, resting her hand on my shoulder.

“No,” I swallowed down the lump that seemed firmly lodged uncomfortably in my throat. “But I will be.”

“For what it’s worth, you handled it like a pro. I’d high-five you but that seems inappropriate, so an awkward support hug it is,” she felt me out and squeezed me around my middle briefly. “I’m actually surprised. You held it together and Aste lost his s**t. Guess it’s always the quiet ones.”

Astennu!

“I need to go. I think he went to pay Fin a visit.”

“That boy’s losing more than some fingers,” she uttered, switching to mind-link as I rushed away. ‘I’ll catch up with you, just go.’

It was two and a half hours to Seattle by car. In my wolf form, I could be there in just under two.

Running from the prison building and shimming through the perimeter gate before it had fully opened, I stripped as fast as I could once I was in the treeline and wrapped my clothing into a bundle.

Our shoulder burned out of the blue, as though the ghost of a blade had passed through our fur and split apart our skin… our brother… he was hurt.

‘Astennu,’ I tried to reach out, but it was no use. It was as if my voice rattled around my head, unable to find its target.

Baniti pushed us to our feet, staggering our paws forward towards our bond that flashed like a hotwire strung out on more power than it could channel.

‘He’s alive,’ my wolf reassured and fixed our sights ahead. ‘He’s just very pissed.’

‘No shit.’
