Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 103
CHAPTER 100 – WON’T YOU PLAY?
~~~~~
This would be taking place roughly around the time when the twins would be setting off to ‘dysfunction around France’.

“Are you sure you’ve never played this before, dad?” I wiped away the filled grid drawn in dry-erase ink from the glass and penned out another.
“No, your mother never taught this game,” a small yet easy smile spread under his much thicker beard. “She used to play spy in eye to help my English.”
My laugh echoed between us. “I spy,” I helped correct him. “But I think we’ll stick to tic tac toe. There’s only so much we can spy in here.”
‘Unless one of those fuckwit guards passes by,’ Evva yawned and stretched, bored out of her mind. ‘There’s at least twenty things there and all of them swears.’
As I looped a circle to make my first move, she bellowed a huge and overly dramatic groan. ‘Can you play anything else? It’s been three hours!’
‘You wanna go back to hangman?’ I asked sarcastically, knowing it would shut her up.
‘If you go near that game again, I will force a shift and gnaw my leg off.’
‘That’s what I thought, so drop the attitude.’
It wasn’t entirely her fault she was being so snippy. Two months sealed away in my mind was getting to her, creating an increasingly cantankerous wolf. Her spirit buzzed under the surface of my skin needing release and in a few more months, when my belly would begin to show, our pup would be too big to safely cope with the physical stresses of a shift. If she thought a couple of months were going to be tough, how would she cope with half a year?
“Pravyy nizhniy ugol,” my dad said slowly, enunciating his syllables and pitch, telling me in Russian where he wanted his ‘X’ placed.
Small moments, like these, over the last few months, we had taken to teaching the other. I helped my father with reading English and he taught me some Russian.
“Bottom right corner?” Diego beat me to it, stealing my thunder.

cells were presently empty. Inmates were either taking their recess time outside or were attending their fights. In Bastiaan’s case, it was the latter. He had been gone since my father had returned.
