Fated to My Twin Sister's Alpha (Violet and Asher) novel Chapter 167

If you’re aligned with the council, then I have no choice but to

oppose you. I will never stand against Asher.My voice was

firm, unwavering. Just because I had decided to give our mate

bond a chance didn’t mean my loyalty had shifted.

He exhaled sharply. So, we’re back to thisme trying to have a

real conversation and you turning it into a declaration of your

feelings for AsherHis tone was dry, but I could hear the

frustration underneath it.

That’s not what I’m doing,I argued back. I just know how you

operate. You’re trying to make this about me when in reality,

you’re avoiding answering the question.”

We already had this talk, Grace. Why are we revisiting it?He

ran a hand through his hair. Besides, I see what you’re doing,

and it’s not going to work. I know you’re testing me.”

I folded my arms. No, Matthew. We didn’t have this talk. You

kissed me and thought it would somehow fix everything. That’s

not how it works

His jaw clenched. I’ve accepted our mate bond, but if you’re

Chapter167

choosing Asher over me, I’ll have to reconsider everything. I can’t be tied to someone who’s actively against me.

A pang of guilt twisted in my chest.

Maybe what I felt for Asher wasn’t exactly love, but it didn’t

matterI would never let anyone harm him. He had already endured too much.

I don’t care what people say about you,I said. I know you’re not a bad person. But that doesn’t mean you can betray your own people!

If there’s one thing I value above all else, it’s family and

loyalty,I continued. My pack is my family. If you don’t feel the same way about yours, then we’re not compatible. You and I won’t work as mates.

Matthew’s expression was unreadable as I spoke, but I saw the flicker of understanding in his eyes. I went on, They accepted me as their lead warrior. They trust me to protect them from anything. Asher trained me to be who I am today, and I won’t betray that!

He let out a slow breath. I get it. And for what it’s worth, I feel the same way about my people.”

I frowned. Then why all the secrecy? The disappearing acts,

the meetings with the council? What’s going on, Matthew?

He hesitated before glancing around. Promise me you won’t

tell anyone what I’m about to say.”

I raised an eyebrow. Do I look like someone who spills secrets?

Fair enough,” he murmured. But if we’re being honest, your

whole life depends on this. My choices, my actionsthey aren’t

just for me. They’re about the people I care about, too.”

I nodded. I believe you, but that doesn’t explain everything.

Asher and I had a plan,” he admitted. To gather intel on the

council. Only the two of us knew about itnot even his mate.”

I bit my lip. That’s risky. Xavier is dangerous, Matthew. If he

finds out what you’re doing, it won’t end well.”

His gaze darkened. I know the risks, but I also know what’s at

stake. We need leverage if we’re going to win this.

A sense of unease settled in my stomach. And what exactly did

you learn?

Enough to know that the council has more on us than we

think. We need something to use against them.”

I reached for his hand instinctively. I just hope you know what

you’re doing.

He gave me a small smile, the kind that made my heart race

despite my best efforts. I appreciate that!

I swallowed hard. I should probably go.

He squeezed my hand before letting go. Not yet.

The intensity in his gaze had me rooted in place. What do you-
