Page 82 of A Chance at Love for the Twin Alphas

“Really?” Dalila looks relieved. “I don’t want to bother you, Mrs… I mean… Luna…”

“Janice.” Mom smiles warmly. “You don’t need to be so formal, dear. Also, Tony mentioned you have a few questions about your heritage?”

“I might be able to help,” Dad offers.

“Maybe Elise or Elodie could help, too,” Tony points out.

“You think it’s an issue for the Council?” Dad blinks.

“I just think we need to dig deep, and the Council has the most resources and options.”

“I honestly would accept any help I can get,” Dalila says earnestly. “Although I have no idea what the Council is.”

“I will have a lot of coffee and cake prepared for us.” Mom chuckles. “Don’t worry. Do you like cake?”

“I like it a bit too much.” Dalila chuckles. “I’m not particularly skinny.”

“You are perfect,” Tony tells her dreamily.

Goddess, he is smitten. Do I look like that at Elodie!? She must constantly be embarrassed by me!

Tony links his fingers with Dalila’s. “While Henry goes to his meeting, I could show you around the pack a bit,” he offers.

“I would love to see it.” She beams before a grin spreads over her face. “But don’t think I forgot you promised to take me to that convention next week.”

“I would never.” He smirks. “It’s a dream date! Please tell me you’ll cosplay. You could be the Pepper Potts to my Tony Stark!”

“Forget it,” she exclaims.

He looks at her with puppy eyes. “Why?”

“Because there isn’t enough time to prepare. Maybe next time.”

“If only I knew what my child was talking about,” Dad mutters.

“They are characters from a movie,” I tell him.

“How do you know that!?

“Obviously, because I’m interested in my family,” I deadpan.

Dad narrows his eyes at me, glaring, while Elodie elbows me. “He is just teasing you, Jace.”

Dad furrows his brows a bit and turns to Mom’s stomach. “I hope the little bean will at least have some respect for her dad.”

Tony snorts into his tea but wisely keeps his mouth shut.Good one, Henry,he links me.

Yeah?

It’s rare for you to tease someone. You are getting better, bro!

I’m not sure what you two are talking about,Elodie chimes in, shocking us both.But you look creepy as fuck.

How can you mind link me?Tony blurts out.And how can you mind link the both of us at the same time without being a pack member?

Must be because we marked each other,I muse. It makes sense; she felt the sibling bond to Tony already.Can you mind link Tony without me joining the link?

Elodie furrows her brows, concentrating, and then shakes her head.
