Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 6

Chapter 6 – Mates? As In Plural?!

Evie

“No… I did,” she lifted her head up to meet my stunned eyes. “I rejected him… or at least, I tried to.”

“What do you mean?” I nudged gently.

I was still completely floored that Lucy of all people would initiate a rejection. She may have been a fiery little pixie, but she always gave people a chance and she wanted her mate more than anything. She had saved everything for her mate, something I was slightly envious of. But if I found out someone like Finley f*****g Jacobs was my mate, I think I would nope out of that situation too.

“I really was exhausted that day, but I was so excited too. I thought it was because I had my wolf, finally. When I went into town, that’s when I saw Finley coming out of a cafe with another she-wolf. We both saw each other and neither of us was best pleased,” she sighed heavily, more annoyed than anything and wiped at her face. “He just left her there looking speechless and dragged me down the street to talk, away from anyone.”

She reached up onto the bedside table to grab a tissue and we both leaned back on the side of the bed.

“Goddess, the tingles…” Lucy looked up to the ceiling. “I always had this really stupid crush on him that I just couldn’t shake and I always hated myself for it.”

A sentiment I knew too well… and I was growing increasingly wary of my own stupid crush.

“For a second, I actually thought he was going to accept me… then when he started ranting about having some Omega as a mate… I just lost it. My wolf saw red and wanted me to do it too,” her lips pulled into a scowl. “I just focused everything I had into breaking the bond’s tether, I was so mad at him. But he fought it and wouldn’t accept the break, said I’d regret it.”

Topics of rejections were pretty unpleasant and taboo, but we were still given all the facts growing up. Both sides had to accept the bond’s fracture, to suffer the rift that tore away at their very soul. If one side fought it, the invisible tether, no matter how mangled, distorted and frayed, would persevere.

“A few hours later… I felt it,” her lip quivered again. “The pinch in my heart… my wolf howled, feeling he was with someone else and betraying the bond. I hate feeling so hurt and broken over someone I don’t want. And because he keeps using the bond against me, my shifting sickness isn’t healing, it got worse.”

That bastard was using the bond as some warped revenge, all because she had the balls to know her worth and that was far more than Finley would ever be. All this time, the lingering broken bond that he abused was slowly eating her away. I had never heard of anyone abusing the bond for this length of time.

“I’ve tried rejecting the bond on my own, but it just won’t work and every time I do, he goes on some fuck-rampage. And he’s been exceptionally busy while he’s been away,” she rolled her eyes. “I barely even feel it anymore, I haven’t felt a thing since I went on the medication. You were right about that one, I should have gone earlier.”

“You should’ve told me,” I couldn’t keep the hurt from my tone. “I could’ve helped you through all this, or at the very least, held him in a headlock while you cracked some micro nuts.”

‘Or hacked them off,’ Evva bristled, already sharpening her claws.

She laughed tearily, “I know, I know… I was just so ashamed,” her voice grew quiet. “I know I shouldn’t be… but I can’t help feeling like I’m not enough. The one person who’s supposed to love me unconditionally, can’t stand me…” and with those last words she broke down all over again.

Any slight I might’ve felt about her keeping all of this a secret disappeared immediately. I wrapped my arms back around her, letting her know I would never turn away from her. She was in a terrible situation, not knowing how to handle it or even what to do. But she wouldn’t be on her own anymore.
