Fated to My Twin Sister's Alpha (Violet and Asher) novel Chapter 20

hapter 20

Violet’s POV

I stepped into the Council Hall with Asher, my heart pounding in my chest. Only senior members of this pack were allowed into

this sacred place. It was the first time I came here.

Members were already seated on the stand when we came in.

They stood up lowering their heads to their Alpha.

Then people noticed my existence. There were some low

mutterings coming from the stand.

“What’s she doing here…”

“She shouldn’t be allowed…”

“…this is crazy…”

I scanned the crowd and quickly noticed that all my families

were here: mom and dad, my 3 brothers, Kylie.

I hastily looked away from them, afraid that I would get

distracted by the look on their faces. Then I kept my eyes straight

ahead, head up, chest out and kept walking, looking confident.

Asher, Elena and Mia all had faith in me. There was no reason I

couldn’t do this.

Asher walked up to his throne and turned around.

All noises quieted down at once. All eyes were on him. The

expression on those member’s face told me that they worshiped

their Alpha.

“Many of you have heard about the incident recently.”

Asher spoke up, his deep voice echoing in the room.

“Our soldiers were brutally murdered. The rogues sent their

bodies back to provoke us. They called me a coward. Saying that I

was afraid of going to war with them.”

Angry hisses could be heard from the crowd. Some members

huffed, and the others made a threatening growl.

Asher continued with a sneer, “I will avenge Patrick and those

who were killed with the blood of our enemies. There will be a

difficult time ahead of us. But I will lead you through it!”

Thunderous applause broke out in the room. Even I couldn’t help

but join the clapping and cheering crowd. I looked at my lover,

my heart filled with proud and admiration.

He was a natural leader. All he had to do was stand there, and it

gave the soldiers endless courage and motivation.

Asher raised a hand, asking the crowd to quiet down, “And there

is another issue.”

My heart skipped a beat as he looked over to me, his gaze

softened.

“I had found my mate, my destined one, my future Luna,” he

announced proudly. “I will spend the rest of my life with her. Our

mate bond will enhance my power and help us thrive.”

There were a few scattered applauses. Most members were

whispering among themselves, eyeing me with frowns. There

were clear hostility and distrust in their eyes.

I brought myself to look back at them with confidence. I didn’t do

anything wrong. I shouldn’t feel guilty or afraid.

“So are you going to toss your ex–wife aside then? For the new

lover you found?” a sharp voice came from the crowd.

I looked for the source of that voice and found that it was Sarah,

Kylie’s best friend. She was now standing by the pale–looking

Kylie’s side and glaring at me.

“Kylie was married to you for 7 years! She was a good wife, a

dutiful Luna, and a loyal member!” she cried indignantly, “While

her sister was out there hiding from her duty as a member, Kylie

shouldered her responsibility! Such a good person doesn’t deserve

to be casted aside like this!”

Kylie buried her face into her palms, sobbing. Many members

around her were nodding in agreement.

“Then what do you think I should do then? Stay married to

Kylie?” Asher asked coldly.

“Of course-”

could understand why they were all so angry. I definitely

deserved this for running away and keeping this from Asher.

In the middle of the crisis, I look for my mom and dad.

If they could step out and tell everyone the truth, maybe people

would cut me a slack. I would still be a traitor. But at least I was

forced for the sake of my family.

Yet no.

My parents stayed in silence.

They just quietly watched the pack members attacked me

without a signal intention to say anything.

They were only there for me when they needed me for

something. Yet when they were done with whatever they

wanted, they walked away. This was a problem caused by them.

But since it didn’t affect them, they chose to stand aside and let

me burn.

They abandoned me. Again.

I took in a shaky deep breath and looked away from my

shameless parents.

I had long passed the point of feeling sad and disappointed. Rage

was all I could feel.

Just when I was about to step forward and owned up to

everything I had done, Asher tightened his grip and pulled me

back.

“It is me,” he said calmly to his people.

NO! I screamed internally. But he squeezed my hand so tightly that I stifled that cry.

“I knew that Violet was my mate but still decided to marry Kylie. It is all my fault. I broke the tradition, and I am ready for the

consequence.”

He paused, waiting for the crowd’s reaction, and then continued:

“If anyone think that I am an incompetent Alpha, they can come out and challenge my position now.”

My brain went blank in shock.

What the fuck Asher! What did you just do?!
