All Chapters of Taming the Alpha Twins: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

             Helena entered her father’s study. She needed to change that point of reference. He’s gone, and this wasn’t his space anymore. That didn’t help the pang of hurt she felt in her heart. But right now, she could not work through that pain right now. Helena needed to sort this out and know what to expect from the twins when she did.             What did the Elders think they would achieve and what would the fallout be for them? “There you are Wally. Now I need your help.” She moved into the room and firmly planted her hands on the desk.             “Yes, Ma’am anything. What can I do for you?” Wally looked up from the laptop screen he was poking at.            

             Wally and Helena searched through the study and came up with nothing. Frustrated, they moved on to her parent’s apartment and began the search there through the large rooms of the suite. This was not something she would welcome. Not since they chose his clothes for the funeral. No one had entered it. Helena would be the first to admit there hadn’t been time and emotionally, she wasn’t ready to deal with all the memories. When she’d gone into his closet, her mother’s things still hung there for her like she was dead, either.             But she promised herself she’d get to it as soon as this was all over. They started their search in the obvious locations like the bookcase and nightstand. But there was nothing. However, Wally picked up a cut from a knife that’d been hidden inside a nightstand. Helena kn

             Everything took longer than Helena expected. The doctor was on a house call and would need to call her back. She would not talk to his partner or his head nurse. This was just too controversial to tell everyone and their brother about. No, if people learned of what the council did, and what it did to the twins, the pack might lose faith in their future Alpha or Alphas. Whichever it would be.             The twins were now awake again and not pleased with being under guard in their rooms. But their reactions to this too were over the top. Brian must have broken several things in his rooms by the sound of it. Helena expected this from Chris, not Brian. In her estimation, Brian's the more level-headed of the two. Now she needed to verify some more information and make sure everything was right. This didn't go well with Chris. Both men wanted to fi

             “Since you don’t know, it might help you both understand each other better and why things work and don’t work for you. It starts with being twins born on either side of the stroke of midnight. This has a telltale sign of your wolves and your features as humans. One dark, one light. One represents the night sky and stars, while the other represents the moon. Got that? Here’s the issue. You aren’t fraternal twins. There’s a term dissimilar identical twin. You’re identical, but not. Now this is where things get complicated. You are two halves of one person. One develops only part of the life skills they need and the other learns the rest of the life skills. You are effectively only a fully functioning person if you are together. Living, working, and, well… loving. You’re meant to have one mate between the two of you.”     

             “Fine. I agree. Party time is over and if Helena is correct. If we want to survive and be successful, we need to continue like this together. But for that, you want us to be clear on who’s in charge of all the aspects of our life or lives. I’m not sure of how to define this. But you want to cover aspects including heaven forbid one of us is out of commission. That’s what I’m hearing. Is that correct?” Chris didn’t hedge around anything. He, like his brother, got to the core by cutting through the emotional baggage. Helena felt her relief rise that they were sitting down and talking rather than yelling at each other.             “Exactly. If we can do that, I feel we can go forward with this. But I will state upfront I feel you often give me busy work to get me out of the way for whatever is going
