Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 101

CHAPTER 98 – THE FOUR OF US?

Something cool pressing against my forehead registered and my eyes snapped open, snatching the offender’s hand, my body ready for a fight all over again. A yelp buzzed in my ears as my eyes cleared and adjusted to the dim lighting… of my room?

A tanned hand came into focus, a washcloth grasped within it; my mother.

“Mom?” My voice croaked, thick with sleep.

“Marhaba habibi (hi darling),” she slowly unfurled my fingers around her wrist and cupped my cheek. “Your brother carried you up a few moments ago. Are you feeling any better, my beautiful boy?”

My face heated immediately, hearing the feminine snigger at the foot of my bed belonging to Catalina, stifling a snide laugh behind her hand.

‘Thiago is our mom’s chico hermoso (beautiful boy) too. She’d still be tucking him into bed at night if she could. Drives his mate, Leah, crazy.’

‘We’re filing that away to torment him with later,’ Aasim snuffed a flicker of laughter that died down into silence just as quickly.

I sat up slowly, seeing a small sea of faces surrounding me. My mother perched, half-turned to me, on my bed. My brother sat at my desk flipping through a tablet, his eyes focused solely on what he was searching for with Lucy lingering over his shoulder. And Tamlyn looked to be quietly speaking to someone on her phone, hanging up once she heard I had woken.

The last thing I remembered was Lucy arguing about driving back home and not backing down from Catalina. That was after I had finished arguing with Seattle PD that we were in charge of the site and we had everything in hand. Catalina had almost made it worse by telling them to go eat a doughnut. Thank goddess for Lucy, the little she-wolf knew how to put a grown man in his place, including armed police officers; the female officers present had looked on, impressed. The cops had stayed out of the way long enough to ensure it was safe for the human residents to return, once our backup from the pack had arrived to finish the cleanup of the apartment… and removal of the body.

I didn’t feel guilty for killing Finley as I thought I might. However, I did feel uncomfortable that I had lost myself, stripped of my self-control and left with only the wrath of a feral beast. I remembered what I did. Except, it was as though I hovered over myself, watching as I tortured every measure of information out of him which, unfortunately, wasn’t as much as I would have liked.

But we had a starting point of where to find our next lead.

“We need to go,” I swung my legs over the empty side of my bed, planting my bare feet on the floor. “We need the first flight to France. I don’t care where, we’ll run the rest of the way if we have to.”
