Alex's Conviction

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-01 20:13:48
The square was eerily silent except for the faint sounds of burning debris and the occasional groans of the injured.

Alex stood still, his chest rising and falling with the weight of his breath.

His mind raced as he took in the scene around him—the destruction, the blood, and the lifeless bodies of the dead.

His eyes landed on Derek’s crumpled body a few feet away. For a moment, a flicker of hope sparked in him, but it was quickly doused by his bitterness.

Alex approached cautiously, his steps hesitant as though the very ground might swallow him whole.

“Derek?” Alex called out softly, his voice trembling with a mix of dread and anticipation.

There was no response. Derek lay face-down in a pool of his own blood, his body unnervingly still.

Alex crouched beside him and pressed two trembling fingers to Derek’s neck, searching for a pulse. There was nothing.

Alex’s chest tightened, a swirl of emotions threatening to overwhelm him.

He told himself it was relief—relief that the so-c

  • Fated To The Alpha Twins    Lexa's Turn

    Present DayLexa stormed out of the principal’s office, gripping the wooden broom so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Her jaw was clenched in frustration, and her dark eyes gleamed with rebellion. Punishment. She couldn’t believe she’d been reduced to this—sweeping the school courtyard like some janitor in training. The principal’s words echoed in her mind, each syllable laced with condescension.“Let this be a lesson, Lexa. Actions have consequences.”She scoffed under her breath, muttering to herself as she descended the stairs toward the sprawling school courtyard. "Yeah, actions have consequences, but no one ever mentions how boring those consequences are."She reached the courtyard, which was littered with leaves, wrappers, and the occasional paper airplane—a testament to the chaos of the school day. Grumbling, she began to sweep, shoving debris into untidy piles.“Stupid rules. Stupid courtyard. Stupid broom.” Her grumbling was interrupted by a faint sound—a soft noi

  • Fated To The Alpha Twins    Fake Rumours

    Maya walked briskly down the school hallway, her heart pounding. Her mind was clouded with frustration, sadness, and exhaustion from the constant tension between herself and Lily. They had been inseparable for so long that this cold war felt like a foreign, suffocating weight on her chest. She was tired of the bitterness and wanted clarity. Even if the conversation with Lily didn’t resolve anything, Maya thought it was better than the lingering resentment that was slowly eating away at her.As she approached the corner leading to the main hallway, she heard voices—familiar ones. Two girls were standing just out of sight, their giggles echoing off the walls. Maya froze, recognizing the voices as Lexa’s friends, Tasha and Brielle. They sounded deep in conversation, and Maya couldn’t help but listen when her name came up.“Did you see Maya storm out of the classroom earlier?” Tasha asked, her voice dripping with mock sympathy. “She looked like a total wreck.”Brielle laughed, her voi

  • Fated To The Alpha Twins    The Planning Phase

    Maya stood on the cracked pavement outside Lexa's house, her fists clenched tightly by her sides. The chilly evening air nipped at her skin, but it was nothing compared to the cold knot of anxiety twisting in her stomach. The huge and magnificent looking house with its high walls and a lawn that showed it was well taken care of was a stark contrast to the warm, inviting homes she was used to. She had been standing there for at least five minutes, trying to summon the courage to knock.It seemed as if her hand was stuck or glued by her sides and it just made it hard for her to decide what exactly she should do."This is insane," she muttered to herself. "What am I even doing here?"A part of her just wanted to walk away from everything, beg her parents to move her to another school and start afresh.But the image of Lily and Alex, laughing together, whispering secrets, and supposedly sharing stolen kisses replayed in her mind.They saw her as a pushover and safe wasn't going to let h

    Lily clutched her math textbook tightly to her chest as she walked through the bustling school hallway. She had been trying her best to stay under the radar since the fallout with Maya. Every glance, every whisper seemed to burn with judgment. Today was no different, and the weight of it pressed down on her like a physical burden. As she rounded the corner, she collided with someone, her books tumbling to the floor. "Oh, I’m so sorry!" Lily stammered, crouching to pick them up. Her heart sank when she realized who she had bumped into—Maya. Maya stared down at her for a moment, her face unreadable. Lily’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she quickly gathered her books, preparing to walk away before things could escalate. But to her surprise, Maya stopped her. "Wait," Maya said, her tone surprisingly soft. Lily froze, glancing up uncertainly. She respected that Maya needed as much time to get herself back together and she was prepared to stay in her lane for as long as po

    The final bell of the day echoed through the school halls, and students flooded out of classrooms, their conversations and laughter filling the air. Maya lingered by her locker, her movements slow and deliberate as she placed her books into her bag. She wanted nothing more than to head home, escape the noise and tension of the day, and be alone with her thoughts. But as she zipped her bag, she heard a familiar voice behind her. "Maya!" She turned to see Lily approaching, a bright smile on her face. The sight of it stirred a mix of emotions in Maya—guilt, anger, and the faint ache of nostalgia. "Hey," Maya said, her voice neutral. Lily adjusted the strap of her bag and tilted her head slightly. "Are you going home or do you have any plans for later today?" Lily asked, her eyes scanning Maya's face for an answer."I think I'm just going to head home and crash on my bed. I'm already feeling tired from all the classes today" Maya replied.The light in Lily's eyes disappeared and s

  • Fated To The Alpha Twins    Lily's Suspicions

    The next few days passed in a blur of activity, but for Lily, something felt off. At first, it was subtle—an undercurrent of tension in the air whenever Maya was around. Maya’s usual warmth seemed strained, her smiles not quite reaching her eyes, and the way she fidgeted whenever Lily caught her gaze left Lily with a nagging sense of unease.Lily, ever the perceptive one, couldn't ignore the changes. Maya had always been her closest friend, the one who knew her inside and out, and Lily had always known Maya’s moods better than anyone else. But recently, something was different.It was lunch when Lily first noticed how truly off Maya was. As the bell rang and students flooded into the cafeteria, Maya was unusually quiet. Normally, she would have laughed at something Lucas or Liam said, but today, she barely seemed to register their jokes. Lily watched her from across the table, the discomfort settling in her chest like a heavy weight. She felt an instinctive need to help, but no

    The drive back to Lily’s house was pleasant, with the sun dipping low on the horizon, casting a warm glow over the town. Lucas and Liam, as usual, were joking around, their energy lighthearted and infectious. Lily, sitting next to Maya, laughed along with them, the sound of her laughter filling the car. "Looks like Maya’s becoming a regular around here," Lucas teased, turning around from the passenger seat to glance at Maya. "You’re practically a part of the family now."Liam smirked. "Yeah, at this rate, you’re going to have to start paying rent, Maya."Lily laughed as she lifted an eyebrow."How can she be family but still have to pay rent. Wouldn't she have a room for free" Lily said."Her own case is different so she'll have to pay rent" Liam replied then laughed with Lucas.Lily rolled her eyes, grinning. "Oh, shut up, you two. At least Maya’s good company—unlike you clowns."Liam regarded Lily with mock hurt as he put his hand to his chest to show shock."I'll like to argue

    Maya immediately regained herself and she hid her phone in the back pocket of her jeans as she looked at Lucas and she could see the suspicion in his eyes."What are you doing here, Lucas?" Maya asked, her voice slightly breaking due to fear but she tried her best to maintain a cool and calm exterior."I wanted to check on you because Lily said you were having stomach issues" Lucas brought out a small bottle. "My mum said this is the best remedy for such problems and I felt you would most probably need it."Maya's face lit up just a bit."Thank you much" Maya said.As she collected the bottle from Lucas, the small exchange where their hands brushed each other, there was a feeling radiating from her that made everything seem uneasy.Maya attempted to leave but Lucas stood in her way."What are you doing?" Maya asked, her eyes moving from Lucas's hard stare to the ground.As an Alpha, it wasn't hard for Lucas to feel when something wasn't entirely right with a member of his pack.And she

This was supposed to be a very special day for both of them and they wanted to look the part. Lily wore a flowing, deep red gown that hugged her figure perfectly, the fabric shimmering under the dressing room lights. Her long, dark curls fell down her back, and the delicate silver necklace around her neck added the final touch of elegance.Maya, standing next to her, looked just as stunning in a sapphire blue dress, the off-shoulder sleeves giving her a regal appearance. Her short, dark hair was styled in loose waves, and her makeup was jaw dropping.Lily sighed, taking in their reflections. "We actually made it, Maya."

    As Lily qmd Maya got closer to the boutique, they made sure to keep their distance as they monitored their targets.The boutique was filled with soft classical music, the scent of expensive perfume lingering in the air. Rows of elegant gowns lined the walls, their sequined and satin fabrics shimmering under the bright chandeliers.Lily and Maya stood just outside the store, pressed against a decorative pillar, peeking inside like a pair of detectives on a stakeout."Okay, this is ridiculous," Maya whispered, adjusting her stance to get a better view. "But I can’t lie, I kind of love it.""Shh!" Lily nudged her. "We have to be quiet if we’re going to figure out what’s going on."Inside the boutique, Lucian was standing beside the mystery girl, his arms crossed as she held up a deep emerald dress, pressing it against herself. He nodded approvingly, and the girl beamed. They continued lookingthroughother clothes, occasionally laughing and whispering to each other.Maya narrowed her eye

    The soft hum of the engine filled the car as Lily gazed out the window, watching the busy streets pass by. The town’s biggest mall stood just ahead, its glass windows reflecting the bright afternoon sun. Inside, countless shoppers bustled about, their excited chatter mixing with the faint sound of background music playing from the stores.Maya, sitting beside her, tapped away on her phone. "I still can’t believe we’re finally getting our dresses for the Moonlight Dance. It feels so real now."Lily turned to her, a small smile tugging at her lips. "I know. It’s like the final piece of the puzzle.""Exactly!" Maya grinned. "And I already have a vision for my dress. Elegant, sexy, but also just enough sparkle to make Graham lose his mind."Lily chuckled. "You’re really excited about this, aren’t you?""Duh!" Maya tossed her phone into her bag. "It’s not every day we get to have a perfect night with the people we love. And after everything we’ve been through? We deserve this, Lily."L

    The grand dining hall in the Alpha mansion was bathed in golden candlelight, the scent of roasted meat and fresh bread filling the air. The long mahogany table was elegantly set with silverware and polished plates, while the large windows let in the glow of the moon. Lily sat between Lucas and Liam, across from Alpha Dean and Luna Ariel.Despite the warm atmosphere, her mind kept replaying Graham’s words from earlier that day."Lucas and Liam don’t think they need to ask you."Her grip tightened around her fork as she poked at her mashed potatoes, her appetite fading. She couldn't believe how clueless they were."So, Lily," Luna Ariel's voice pulled her from her thoughts, "you’ve been quiet all evening. Is something on your mind?"Lily hesitated for a second before deciding now was as good a time as any. "I was just thinking about the Moonlight Dance."Alpha Dean chuckled. "Ah, the famous tradition. I remember when I asked Ariel to the dance back in our school days. I made a compl

Sunlight streamed in through the large windows, casting golden streaks across the lockers. Laughter and chatter surrounded them, the school buzzing with excitement. Weeks had passed since the chaos with Alex, and life had finally returned to normal.Lily inhaled deeply, a smile stretching across her face. "You know, I never thought I'd say this, but it's actually nice having a normal day at school again. No kidnappings, no rogue wolves, no dramatic fights. Just classes and... the Moonlight Dance."Maya grinned, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "I know, right? It’s like everything is back on track. And now, we get to focus on the important things—like waiting for our mates to ask us to the dance."Lily chuckled. "Right! I mean, I am expecting Lucas and Liam to ask me at some point.

    A heavy silence hung over the battlefield, thick with tension and the scent of blood. The wolves surrounding Alex stared fiercely at him, their growls low and menacing, awaiting their Alpha Dean’s command. Moonlight shined across the road, casting eerie shadows on the wounded rogue who stood his ground despite his battered body.Alex's chest heaved with ragged breaths, his clothes torn and soaked in blood. Yet, despite the pain coursing through his veins, his gaze was still filled with defiance as he met Alpha Dean's unyielding stare.The towering Alpha took a deliberate step forward, his presence radiating an undeniable authority. His silver eyes bore into Alex like a predator assessing its prey. "Alex," Alpha Dean's voice was deep, steady, and laced with finality. "You stand accused of multiple crimes against this pack.

    Lucas barely registered the sound of the car door slamming shut behind him as he ran toward the wreckage, his heart hammering wildly in his chest. The harsh scent of burning rubber and twisted metal filled the air, mixing with the distant echoes of the crash that still seemed to vibrate in his bones."LILY!" he shouted, his voice hoarse with desperation.Liam was right beside him, his face a mask of pure fear. "We need to get her out of there—now!" He screamed as they approached Alex’s fallen vehicle. Graham and Lucian followed closely, their expressions tense as they scanned the overturned vehicle for any sign of movement. The headlights from both cars cast long shadows across the deserted road, the flickering light illuminating the smoke rising from the crumpled hood.None of them knee what to think but all they could do was hope that Lily had only sustained minor injuries.Lucas's entire body felt like it was about to combust from sheer panic. If something had happened to her—i

Relief surged through her veins like a tidal wave.They found me!Without thinking, she pulled open the window and stuck her head outside, the wind whipping her hair violently around her face."Lucas! Liam! Help me!" she screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice raw with desperation.Lucas, behind the wheel of the pursuing vehicle, locked eyes with her through the rushing wind, his gaze fierce and determined. She saw Liam right beside him, his face twisted with rage, and Lucian and Graham in the back, all of them ready to fight for her.But before she could scream again, a rough hand dragged her back inside."Shut up!"

The soft hum of the engine and the occasional bump of the road beneath them were the only sounds filling the tense silence. But inside her mind, there was chaos.She knew it.Lucas and Liam had lost her.The tracker was gone.Her last hope of being rescued was slipping away, and panic clawed at her chest.The car smelled like leather and a faint trace of Alex’s cologne—a scent that once made her heart race with something close to affection. Now, it only made her nauseous.She turned her head toward the front of the car, her eyes burning with fury.“You really think you’re going to get away with this?” she spat, her voice sharp with hatred.Alex, sitting comfortably in the driver’s seat, didn’t even flinch. His hands were relaxed on the wheel, his jaw set in quiet confidence.“I don’t think I will,” he said smoothly. “I know I will.”Lily let out a bitter laugh. “You’re delusional.”Alex
