Wait, was he drinking? At this time of night? The acrid scent of alcohol wafted from him, unmistakable and strong. "You were drinking?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

Alphonce moved away from the door's pillar, his steps unsteady. Concerned, I quickly grabbed his shoulder, guiding him to my bed. "You shouldn't drink like this, Alphonce" I warned, but he just smiled lazily, his eyes unfocused, like he was seeing me for the first time.

I'd known Alphonce for five years, long enough to understand he wasn't the type to drink himself into a stupor. Not unless something was deeply troubling him. Was I the cause?

Or wad it about that kiss?

"Y-you are very beautiful," he stammered, and I couldn't help but look away, my cheeks warming under his gaze.

He was undeniably drunk.

"Why drink yourself like this? Where are your bodyguards?" My questions seemed to float into the air unanswered, as he continued to smile at me, an affectionate and somewhat vacant expression in his eyes.

  • ENTANGLED WITH THE ALPHA TWINS   CHAPTER 64: FAMILY

    DANIELA’S POV"Are you here to bring the pups or to ask questions you already know the answers to?"The words slipped out before I could stop them. I forced myself to meet his eyes, even though every part of me screamed to look away."What answers? You tell me!" His voice was sharp, defensive."No, you tell me! Didn’t you ask me the same thing at the pups’ party? And didn’t I tell you I know nothing about Daniela?"I didn’t give him a chance to respond. I was done with this, done repeating the same exhausting conversation. If he’d come all this way to drag it up again, then he could walk right back out that door."You better not bring this up again, or you’ll have to leave my house." My voice trembled, but I masked it with irritation. I grabbed the plates harder than I meant to and walked away to the dining room, my pulse hammering in my ears."You’re shaking. What’s wrong?" Vivian was already beside me by the time I set the plates down."I’m not," I lied quickly. But my hands betraye

  • ENTANGLED WITH THE ALPHA TWINS   CHAPTER 63: SURPRISE 2

    DANIELA’S POV“Who?” I demanded, forcing my voice steady even though my pulse hammered in my chest.“Me!”That voice sweet, playful and familiar, snapped me out of the fog Alexander always seemed to cast over me. My heart, which had been thrashing in chaos, thumped painfully against my ribs. Thank the Goddess they couldn’t see how shaken I was inside. Or maybe Alexander could, with the way his sharp eyes studied me, searching, peeling through my defenses as if reading what lay beneath my skin.“Vivian?” My voice cracked. “Wh-what are you doing here?”There she stood, in all her mischievous glory, my best friend, her wide smile innocent but her eyes glinting with trouble. I instinctively stepped back from Alexander, afraid she’d misunderstand the way we’d been standing close a moment ago.“You promised you’d introduce me to your…” Vivian began, biting her lower lip so hard that the sound echoed faintly in the tense air.My heart stopped beating for a second.“Your two little best frien

  • ENTANGLED WITH THE ALPHA TWINS   CHAPTER 62: SURPRISE

    DANIELA’S POV“Who’s there?” My voice echoed through the hallway, calm yet edged with steel. That eerie prickling on my skin told me I wasn’t alone. Someone was here. Watching.But it wasn’t the feeling of eyes on me that made my pulse spike, it was the sharp sound of glass shattering in the kitchen.My fingers brushed over the back of my jeans, feeling the familiar weight of my gun. Whoever had broken into my house was about to regret it. The Daniela I once was the girl who jumped at thunder, who cried at shadows was long gone. I had been forged in betrayal and fire. Now, fear was a luxury I no longer recognized.“Show yourself,” I said, my tone cold and steady as I gripped the kitchen door handle.When I swung it open, my heart stopped.Two small figures stood there, eyes wide and bright.“Welcome, Miss Gift!” they chimed together.My throat tightened. I blinked once, twice, trying to breathe past the shock. Nathaniel. Katie. My babies. My precious pups.In a heartbeat, I dropped to

  • ENTANGLED WITH THE ALPHA TWINS   CHAPTER 61: THE TRUTH

    ALPHONCE’S POVGloria kept talking, her voice a dull echo in the background. But I wasn’t listening anymore.My mind was lost, dragged somewhere else, to my mate, Clara.I remembered the one time I’d asked about her parents. I had told her we should visit them together.She had smiled faintly, eyes soft with sadness, and said they lived far away. Then she looked away quickly, pretending to fix her hair before changing the topic.Her eyes… they always glowed when she was happy.And that long, shiny black hair, like a curtain of night flowed down her back. I could almost feel it brushing against my fingers again.I swallowed hard, my fists clenching at my sides as a harsh realization struck me like lightning.Clara’s jet-black hair.The way she looked away when she was uncomfortable.The way she played with her fingers when nervous.How she pretended to be strong even when she was breaking inside.My throat tightened painfully. All those traits, every single one of them, I had seen befo

  • ENTANGLED WITH THE ALPHA TWINS   CHAPTER 60: THE PAST 2

    ALPHONCE’S POV“Why would you do that?” My voice cracked, fury trembling beneath my skin. “And the way Father loved you…”I just couldn’t understand this woman. My father adored her, trusted her, and yet she went ahead and killed him too.“B–because I… I was greedy,” Gloria stammered, her voice quivering, “b–because I wanted the power… and the money.”I blinked at her, disbelief burning in my chest. That was it? Power and money?She spoke as if a heavy stone had been lifted off her chest, as though she had waited all her life for this moment to confess, to gloat, to cleanse her wicked soul with words.“But you couldn’t be Alpha,” she continued, her cracked lips curling in a bitter smile. “You never listened to me. That’s why I supported Alexander, brought him closer.”Her breath hitched. She turned away slowly, pain or maybe guilt twisting her face. “I knew if Alexander, who was loyal and loved me, who accepted me as his mother, got the power, I would be the one whose word would be th

  • ENTANGLED WITH THE ALPHA TWINS   CHAPTER 58: THE PAST

    ALPHONCE’S POVFor years, this woman had thought I always made empty threats, that I couldn’t do anything to her. And now, she was flinching like a rained-on kitten, trembling with the realization that her pride couldn’t save her anymore.“Forgive me…” she whimpered.“Forgive you?” I repeated slowly, my voice sharp enough to cut. “How ironic that you’re begging now just like my mate did.”“She begged too, but you didn’t listen to...”Thud! Before I could finish, Gloria jerked forward like someone possessed and swung the silver chain at me. It hit my chest hard, the pain burning through my ribs and sinking deep toward my heart.“Tsk, tsk, tsk,” I clicked my tongue, my face cold and motionless despite the pain. “So, you still want to fight?”Her breath hitched. The confidence she had moments ago shattered, but I could still see the flicker of defiance in her eyes.“It’s a fight you want?” I asked, my tone low and dangerous. “Then let’s see what you’ve got.”“No-no, please don’t do this!
