Acceptance

Katherine pov

As the morning light filled my room, I stirred up awake from my sleep. It was the most refreshing night and I felt all my energy at a hundred percent once again. I smiled knowing that I finally woke up without any form or fear.

I gasped and jerked up, using the sheets to cover myself when I saw Jade, one of the twins, asleep by the door. Memories of last night came flooding in my head. He'd helped me find peace the night before and I was very grateful for that. Staring at his sleeping body, he did not look as scary as I believed he was in the previous day.

He looked rather peaceful.

But I couldn't fully accept him or his brother, Jude, as my mates. No matter what my body or mine said.

My wolf was not active for the time being so unless Frey agreed to them being mates, I couldn't take that decision alone.

Looking at Jade sleeping peacefully, I felt grateful for his comfort. But inside, I was torn. I wanted to keep them at arm's length, afraid of getting hurt again.
