Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 16

Chapter 16 – Is That A Sufficient Answer?

…I would have missed you.

I had desperately wanted to finish that sentence to Astennu and Badru. However, neither I nor Evva wanted to give them false hope. It felt cruel to tell them I once considered someone else, but I had said I wanted complete honesty between us all and I meant it. So I needed to be honest with them. They needed to know that the mate bond was not going to fix this for them. They couldn’t simply rely on it and the bond would wear me down.

All three of us needed to put effort into whatever this relationship was, for it to work.

I shook my head free of thoughts about the twins, feeling my fingers slow down.

‘Why is Suzanna telling me the Alpha boys look about ready to cry?’ I heard Tamlyn’s voice fill my mind. We had had a few training sessions since Evva had appeared and she complained the whole time about how she was struggling to keep up with me.

Her cane tapped against my stool and she scooted me up with no shame so that she could sit next to me. She was dressed in a stunning pale gold sequin asymmetric dress. Her mate, Suzanna, was dressed to match in a silver version.

“Are you two seriously wearing matching dresses?” I laughed, looking between the two and seeing the little smirk on her mate’s ruby red lips that stood out against her pale skin. Her jet black hair hung in retro waves and complimented her deep brown eyes.

“It’s cute. ‘Hers and hers’ outfits,” Suzanna kissed her temple.

Even with all my will, I couldn’t help but glance up on occasion. Guests tried to introduce their daughters, nieces and sisters, all in the hopes that one may be Astennu and Badru’s mate, unaware their attempts were futile. On each introduction, the twins smiled politely, the expression never reaching their eyes, and their gaze flickered to mine. A twinge in my chest ached, they looked so unhappy. This entire party was for them, for a warm welcome home after being gone for two months and for their 25th birthday, and neither could enjoy
