Fated to My Twin Sister's Alpha (Violet and Asher) novel Chapter 159

warned. “He’s too close to getting what he wants.”

I nodded. “I know!”

“What does he even want?” Matthew asked.

I exhaled. “He wants to use all of us and the power of celestine

blossom to start a war against the witches. He wants revenge

for what happened to his mother.”

Matthew’s expression darkened. “That’s reckless. If he pushes

for war, it won’t just be against the witches. Everyone will be

dragged in. Innocent people will die.”

“I know,” I admitted. “That’s why we have to stop him before it’s

too late!“‘

“Does Xavier even know that he might be my brother?” I asked,

my voice barely above a whisper.

Matthew shrugged. “I have no idea. I didn’t ask. It was hard

enough getting this much information without drawing

Chapter159

attention.”

I pinched the bridge of my nose. “I don’t care if he’s my brother.

I’ll do whatever it takes to protect my people. No hesitation.”

Then I looked back at Matthew, “You did well gathering all this.

Just don’t put yourself at unnecessary risk.“”

I wanted to know the truth. But not at the cost of his life.

He smirked. “I’ll be careful.”

I exhaled. “Good. Because we have a war to prevent, and I need

you alive for that.”

Asher’s POV

This day just refuses to end. The moment Matthew left, Grace

appeared as if summoned by the universe to test my patience.

“Was somebody here before me?” she asked, her nose

scrunching as she sniffed around the room. Her eyes flicked

toward me with suspicion.

I crossed my arms and leaned back slightly. “Matthew,” I

answered, keeping my expression neutral. “I think he’s up to

something.”

That wasn’t a complete lie, but I knew Grace was sharp. Hiding

the fact that Matthew had been here wouldn’t work on her. She

had an eye for detail, but I could still manipulate the truth

enough to keep her from digging too deep.

She tilted her head, her brows,knitting together. “I think he

might be betraying us. No, scratch that. I’m almost certain he is.”

That was actually good news. If she suspected him, then it

meant they weren’t suspecting us. Our plan was actually

working.

“Did you come here just to gossip, or was there something you

needed to tell me?” I asked, exhaling. I had more pressing

matters to deal with, like talking things through with Violet

after what an ass I had been.

Grace folded her arms across her chest and leveled me with a

look that told me she had no intention of letting this go. “I have

a question, and I need you to answer me honestly!”

I huffed out a dry laugh. “Since when do you care about

honesty?”

“Since now,” she shot back without hesitation. “So, answer me.”

I sighed, rubbing a hand down my face. “Look, Grace, even if I

Chapter159

tell you I’m busy, I know you’ll ignore it and ask me anyway. So go ahead. Let’s get this over with.”

She hesitated, her fingers twitching slightly before she finally

asked, “Would you leave your mate for someone else?”

I blinked. “What?”
