Fated to My Twin Sister's Alpha (Violet and Asher) novel Chapter 39

chapter 36

Asher’s POV

I looked at Violet, proud. She was even more fierce than I

thought.

My original plan was to bring the members together and talk to them. They had been misled by Kylie. So today I would tell

everyone the whole truth and let them see who the real victim

was here.

Yet Violet took care of this herself.

She faced the challenge bravely and demonstrated her

strength. She had showed to everyone that she was fully

capable of being a good Luna. The wolves admired power and

strength. They would accept her from now on.

Kylie’s lips trembled as she glared at Violet. Tears still hung on

her angry face.

“Bully… You are a bully! Everyone look, that is how she bullied

me for 18 years!” Kylie cried hysterically, “You have no right to

forbid me to come near Asher. He is my husband-”

chapter 36

“WAS!” Violet cut her off sharply, her tone harsh. “And the

only reason you could have him was because you stole him

from me!”

She bravely looked across the crowd, saying in a loud voice:

“Here is the truth, guys. 7 years ago we both found our mates,

mine is Alpha Asher and Kylie’s is a rogue. Not satisfied with

the Moon Goddess’s decision, Kylie rejected her mate secretly

and told the family that her mate was dead! She pretended to be

devastated and suicidal, and insisted that if she couldn’t marry

Asher, she’d rather be dead!”

There was a short moment of silence. Then the room erupted

into noises.

“Are you aware of this?” someone in the crowd asked the

former Beta and his wife. Violet’s father stood silent as always.

Her mother lowered her head in guilt.

I couldn’t help but let out a sneer, “Of course they knew about

this. They were the ones dragged Violet to the witch and hid

her scent. They were the reason I was kept away from my mate for 7 years!”

I hated my former Beta and his wife no less than Kylie. They

chapter 36

The gasps and cries grew louder as people stared at the Beta

family. I could imagine their shock. The Beta family was highly

respected before this. But who thought they were capable of

manipulating even their Alpha?

“This…this is shocking…” one of the members murmured in

disbelief, “So when Kylie said she wanted Alpha Asher, do any

of you know that Violet is his real mate?”

“Of course they knew!” Violet gritted, “I told them myself. I

cried and begged when they forced the potion down my throat.

Yet none of those stopped them.”

I casted a surprised glance at Violet. She was never this vocal

about her parent’s sin. Although her parents hurt her deeply,

she was still trying to defend their public images. But not today.

She bravely stepped out today. I was so proud of her.

“This is absolutely outrageous,” a senior member exclaimed

loudly over the murmurs of the crowd. “This isn’t just your

family drama–it’s a matter for the entire pack. Because of your

selfishness, our Alpha almost missed out his true mate, and

they still don’t have an heir now. This could practically be

considered treason!”

Jayden and his brothers looked worried. Violet’s mother

chapter 36

suddenly burst into tears, hands over her face as she sobbed, “I know what we did was unforgivable…but that was the only way at the time! we were trying to save both of our daughters

lives.”

“You almost killed Violet for fuck’s sake!” I snarled, my eyes

blazing with anger.

This was no point talking sense into this woman anymore. She was biased beyond help. Although she kept saying that she was trying to save both daughters, the only one she really cared

about was always Kylie.

I looked over at my former Beta, “Don’t you have something to

say?”

In my memory, my former Beta wasn’t used to be this…

restrained. Probably his family drama had destroyed a part of

him too.

“Stop being so quiet! Don’t you have an apology to say to our

Alpha?” one of the members cried.

Yet he still stayed quiet.

Just when everyone was perplexed as hell, the witch spoke up:

“He couldn’t.”

chapter 36

“What do you mean he couldn’t? He lost his tongue or

something?” I asked with a frown.

“A witch’s help always comes with a price. The mother offered me his masculinity. I helped them hide the daughter’s scent.”

There was a collective intake of breath. Even I couldn’t hide the

shock on my face. What kind of parents went this far just to

satisfy one daughter’s need? This was so fucking sick.

“You did this to him?!” Violet let out a trembling scream and

lunged at her mother, “You stole his masculinity?”

Her mother cried even harder, “I shouldn’t…but I was trying to

save-”

“Don’t you dare finish that fucking sentence!” Violet snapped,

her voice broken. “You saved no one. You ruined everyone’s

life! Stop making this sound so sacred and noble because it is

nothing but a sick, twisted fucking game of yours! I can’t

believe this mom…Kylie might be the one who started this, but

you are the one who go through with it. How could you!”

I strode over to Violet and pulled her into my arms. She was

shaking. My hatred toward her mother had reached its climax. How many more times was she going to hurt her daughter?

chapter 36

“I can’t believe this…” Violet buried her face onto my shoulder, her tears soaking my shirt. “The thing she did to my dad…”

“You knew what kind of person she is a long time ago,” I

tightened my arms around her.

“Alpha, I think we all need time to process with all these,” said a member of the council, looking drained. Everyone else all

seemed shaken up about this.

“Alright. I’ll dismiss the council today. But we need to find

another time to revisit the matter.” I casted a glance of disgust

at Kylie and her mother. They must pay for what they did.

Violet could barely stand. I could imagine the shock and

heartbreak that she was going through. I spooned her up

carrying her my arms and headed to our home. She needed rest.

A guard rushed into the council hall before we could leave.

“Alpha Asher, the royal family is here!” he cried.

I stopped abruptly.

All the bad news just had to happen on the same day.

chapter 37

chapter 37

Asher’s POV

All I wanted to do right now was to go back to our home with

Violet. But the royal family was here already. It would be

disrespectful for me to go and greet them.

Violet knew about this too. She struggled down and held my

hand, “Let’s go and see them. Shouldn’t keep them waiting.”

I was so lucky to have her.

By the time we reached the front gate of the packhouse, my

parents were already there with my uncle and aunt. The

atmosphere was far from being easy.

Having them stand side–by–side with each other, I could see

how much they resembled each other. Blood tightly bounded

them tightly together, but the only feeling my father had ever

expressed toward my uncle was dislike. I never understood

their brother rival growing up. I used to find it unnecessary…

Until I learnt about my twin brother Isaac’s presence.

Now I had mixed feelings about my uncle. He was my family

but was also the potential reason Isaac had become a rogue.

The mystery about Isaac would be unraveled sooner or later.

Until then, I decided to keep my guard high around my uncle.

My uncle spotted me from a distance. “Asher!” he called out

warmly, spreading his arms wide to welcome me. “It’s so nice to

see you son.”

I went over there to hug him, “Thanks for coming, uncle.” From

a peripheral look, I noticed my dad’s grim face.

“And this is my mate, Violet.” I introduced Violet to them.

They welcomed her warmly, and, almost as if on cue, didn’t ask

where Kylie was. My uncle was especially sharp about these

things–something I used to see as one of his strengths. But now,

it’s becoming a reason I needed to stay on guard around him.

My aunt was sweet as ever, holding Violet’s hands and asking

about her hairs and nails and stuff. My cousin Matthew had

come with them as well. Now looking at him at this proximity, I

could see why my father used to think he was my twin brother.

The resemblance was indeed shocking.

My uncle didn’t show any suspicious signs, and nor did my

aunt. I was starting to doubt if they really had anything to do

chapter 37

with Isaac becoming a rogue. The stories I heard was

contradictory. I didn’t know which one to trust.

I could take down as many enemies as necessary. Yet the

problem was, my current enemy might very well be my own

family.

After the appropriate amount of chit–chat, I left my uncle’s

family to my parents and left with Violet. It had been a long day

for us. I needed to be there for my mate while she recovered

from her own trauma. And also it might be a good idea to give

my parent some time to sort things out themselves.

We went back to our home. Violet insisted on making dinner. I

went into Mia’s room to check on her.

Our girl was asleep. I quietly knelt by her bedside and watched

her sleeping face as guilt surged up in me. I promised to treat

Mia as one of my own. But lately with all the crazy shits going

on, I could hardly remember when was the last time I spent

time with her.

A gentle knock on the door called me back to reality. “Dinner’s

ready.” Violet whispered.

I got up and left the bedroom, quietly closing the door behind

chapter 37

1. me.

“I have been neglecting her,” I sighed as we sat down at the

dining table. “This isn’t right. This is not how you be a good

father.”

Violet reached over and grabbed my hand, “Don’t beat yourself

1. up. You are also an Alpha. You need to deal with the rogues and

the crisis first. Mia would understand.”

“I will end this. Won’t let the rogues hurt any of you.” I gave her

my promise.

“And when you stumbled upon that Isaac out there, what are

you going to do?” Violet asked. I noticed hatred flickering across

her eyes.

That was what I had been struggling with. As an Alpha, I had a

responsibility to avenge for my Gamma and member. But as a

brother, I ought to protect my own family.

This dilemma had been tearing my soul apart lately.

“I get it. You can’t do it.” Violet said lowly, pulling away from

1. me.

I grabbed her hand hastily and tightened my grip, “I know you

chapter 37

are angry. You lost your best friend and Mia lost her parents…

But Isaac is my twin.”

“And Kylie is mine. Blood can’t erase the sin they had made.

You know your responsibility, Asher.” she said sharply.

“Yes. But we don’t know the full picture yet. He might be misguided at the time. What if he was already starting to regret

everything he did?”

“Are you saying that a word of apology from him is enough?”

Violet gritted. I noticed gleaming tears in her eyes, which made

my heart ache. “Elena and Patrick lost their lives! I don’t want

any goddamn apology. I want my bloody revenge. Even if he is

your brother!”

“Can we do this another time? We don’t even know where Isaac

is right now.” I tried to postpone our fight.

She pulled back her hand forcefully. This time I didn’t hold onto

her.

“You can’t run away from the problem forever. And I won’t let

you do it. Who knows, maybe you’ll pardon Isaac tomorrow. So I need to know your stand on this right now.”

What did she want me to say? That I wouldn’t hesitate to kill

chapter 37

my brother the next time I saw him? We both knew that would

be impossible! Elena and Patrick were important to her, just like

my brother was important to me.

We glared at each other in silence, both too stubborn to cave in.

Just then, a series of sharp cries and yells pierced through the

silence.

“FIRE!!”

“There’s a fire…Save the fire!”

We both jumped to our feet, horrified.

“Mia!!!” Violet let out a sharp scream and dashed to the door

with me on her heels. Horror had filled my mind. No, not Mia

too!

Yet when we came into the hallway, we saw everyone running

toward the opposite direction of Mia’s bedroom.

The fire was in my parent’s suite.

chapter 38

chapter 38

Asher’s POV

The door to my parents‘ suite was shut tight, thick smoke

pouring out from beneath it. A crowd had gathered outside, but

everyone seemed helpless.

I rushed forward, trying to force the door open, but the

moment my hand touched it, an unbearable burn shot through

me, forcing me to let go.

“Oh my god look!” Violet exclaimed, pointing at the door.

The surface and handle were coated with thick layers of

mercury–a substance deadly to the werewolves, capable of

weakening our powers. Whoever set this fire was determined

to make sure my parents didn’t make it out alive.

A furious roar tore from my throat. “What about the windows?

Can we get in through the windows?”

“We checked,” someone replied, “but they’re coated in mercury

too…”

The heat of the fire felt like it was boiling my blood, every vein

in my body threatening to erupt as frustration and panic

chapter 38

consumed me. I lunged forward without any concern of the mercury, grabbing the doorknob again and screaming as I tried

to force it open. My skin seared and blackened, but I didn’t care.

“Stop it! That’s not going to work!” Violet shouted, pulling me

back. “Do you want to lose your hand too?!”

The chaos continued around me. Soldiers rushed to and from

the scene, desperately trying to control the fire. My uncle and

aunt were there too, shouting toward the door, hoping for some

kind of response from inside.

I clenched my fists, my eyes locked on the door as blood

pounded in my ears.

I couldn’t lose my parents.

Suddenly, I turned and bolted downstairs. In the courtyard, I

found a pile of logs waiting to be split into firewood. I grabbed

the thickest one and hauled it over my shoulder, then raced

back upstairs. The rough wood bit into my burned hands, but I

didn’t care.

“Get out of the way!!!!”

I shouted as I charged back into the smoke–filled corridor.

chapter 38

The crowd quickly parted, and I slammed the log into the door

with all my strength. The impact reverberated through the air,

but the door held firm.

I pulled back and rammed the log into it again. This time, the

hinges groaned in protest. Violet and my uncle rushed to help,

throwing their weight behind the next hit.

On the third strike, the heavy door finally gave in, crashing

down to the floor.

We charged in without hesitation.

The smoke inside was suffocating, so thick that I could barely

see anything in front of me.

“Mom! Dad!”

I shouted, but my voice turned into a harsh cough as the acrid

air burned my throat and lungs.

The smell of scorched mercury hung heavy in the air, making

me dizzy and nauseous. It drained my strength, making every

step feel like a battle. My parents had to be in here–there was

no way they could escape on their own with all this mercury in

the air. But where were they?

chapter 38

“Asher! Get out of there! The mercury is too strong!” my uncle

shouted from behind me. Others called my name too, their

voices frantic.
