Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 104

CHAPTER 101 – OUT ON A LIMB?

Evgeniya

The realisation hit harder than a sledgehammer and my sharp intake of breath showed it.

“Clever girl. You’ve worked it out, oui?” Marceau’s fingertips circled the curve of my shoulders, sliding back up to grip either side by my neck.

“What, killing my father’s pack wasn’t enough for you, you psychopath?” I wanted to jerk my body away and throw the damned piano squarely at his head, but the fingers digging into my shoulders sharpened into protruding claws to trap me solidly with their unrelentingly strong hold.

“Don’t go getting testy with me over that, ma chérie,” his grip tightened, the tips of his claws piercing my skin through my shirt and drawing blood. “That unfortunate incident in Kamchatka wasn’t mine or my father’s choice and it left our family destitute. So, need’s must. Lotus River pack sat on small but pure gold and amethyst deposits and barely tapped into their potential. They wouldn’t let us mine voluntarily, so they required coercion. Leaving one pack member alive was my idea, so that they could spread the word of how rogues had destroyed their home. Which left the land abandoned with no one to raise any questions, because who wouldn’t believe a band of violent rogues to be capable of such atrocities? The riches we gained from such an easy performance built this whole empire.”

For the second time, his lips brushed my ear, following after me no matter how much I leaned away from the horrid sensation.

“My father’s men certainly played their part well to scare the pretty she-wolf they took. I think you can guess who they let escape,” his sickening low voice uttered. “The stereotype of you rogues has so many wonderful applications.”

Qamar didn’t tell me specifically what was done to her, but it wasn’t hard to infer. Tortured with silver, scarring her for life, and raped, and the monstrous dog responsible quite literally had his claws in me.

My body needed little motivation from Evva to lash out. I couldn’t stand it one moment longer of being anywhere near the man, near his rank scent, having to endure his unwanted touching or his lecherous leering. I had reached the limit of my tether that had no stretch left to give and it snapped with an almighty pop.

The entire sequence of events played out in slow motion, blurring before my eyes as it enacted itself before me. The beat of my heart swung like a mallet against my ribs, booming in my ears and thudding in the same slow rhythm that matched my surroundings.
