Mated To Twin Alphas Chapter 30: Lawrence's Counterattack
Jake POV "You think she’s laughing at us right now?" Lucas muttered, slamming the car door shut as we stepped out into the crisp night air. "Oh, she’s not just laughing," I replied, tightening my jacket against the cold. "She’s probably pouring champagne and toasting her genius." Lucas shot me a glare. "Not helpful, Jake." "Hey, you asked," I said, holding up my hands in mock surrender. "But seriously, Lawrence isn’t just playing games anymore. Freezing our offshore account? That’s a power move. She wants us cornered." "Well, it’s working," Lucas growled. I glanced at him as we walked into the hotel lobby. His usual composed demeanor had been slipping ever since Lila vanished, and now, with Lawrence upping the stakes, he looked ready to snap. ---Back in our suite, Loren was already set up at her makeshift command center, her fingers flying over the keyboard. "Good timing," she said without looking up. "I just finished decrypting the federal reports." "And?" Lucas dem

"What do you mean that’s all you know?" I leaned against the edge of the conference table, arms crossed as I stared down Fidel. He shifted in his chair, looking uncomfortable. "I already told you, Jake. I didn’t know her that well. We only met a couple of times." "And that didn’t raise any red flags?" I pressed, my voice sharpening. "A woman you barely know just happens to waltz into our lives, only for everything to blow up?" "I didn’t think it was my place to question her," Fidel shot back, his tone defensive. "She was charming, and honestly, I thought she was harmless. If I’d known this would happen, I—" "Save it," I snapped, cutting him off. "You should’ve been more cautious. Now we’re in the middle of a mess, and you’re telling me you don’t have anything useful?" Fidel sighed, running a hand over his face. "I didn’t say that. I still have her phone number. Maybe that’ll help." ---I straightened, the tension in my chest easing slightly. "You still have her number?"

"Are you seriously going to keep pacing all night?" Lucas’s voice cut through the silence, his tone laced with equal parts irritation and exhaustion. "You act like you don’t know me by now," I shot back, not breaking stride. The worn carpet beneath my boots had probably seen better days, but it was a casualty I was willing to accept. Lucas sighed, leaning back against the couch in our hotel room. "Jake, we’ve done all we can for now. Let it go." "Let it go?" I stopped mid-stride and turned to face him. "How can you sit there so calm when the one person who might have all the answers is still out there, and we’re just waiting?" "Because driving myself insane won’t bring her closer," he replied, his voice heavy with resignation. "You think I don’t know that?" I snapped, rubbing a hand over my face. "But waiting feels like a death sentence. Every second we waste, she could be slipping further away." "And calling her will fix everything?" Lucas’s eyebrows rose, his voice sharp

"This is the last of it," I muttered to myself, shoving a worn leather bag into the trunk of the car. The weight of my decision hung heavy in the air, a mix of triumph and exhaustion settling in my bones. The dimly lit room behind me bore the remnants of my chaotic escape—papers scattered across the desk, a half-empty bottle of wine teetering on the edge, and the faint scent of burnt wood lingering from the fireplace. My hands trembled as I reached for the bottle, taking one last sip before collapsing into the chair. "Was it worth it?" The question echoed in my mind, but I pushed it aside. There was no room for doubt. Not now. I leaned back, my head lolling against the chair as the alcohol dulled my senses. The sound of the wind outside whispered promises of freedom, but even that couldn’t silence the restless thoughts clawing at my mind. The room blurred, the edges of reality softening as exhaustion pulled me under. ---In my dream, I was back on the dirt road. The air was

The darkness of the room seemed heavier as the echo of Lucas's voice faded from Lila's mind. She jolted awake, gasping for breath as though she had been pulled from the depths of a raging sea. Her body trembled, drenched in cold sweat, the dream's intensity lingering like a brand seared onto her skin. "What is wrong with me?" she muttered, running a shaky hand through her tangled hair. The emotions coursing through her were raw—fear, longing, guilt—and something deeper, something primal. Her wolf stirred restlessly, clawing at the edges of her consciousness. The connection she had tried so desperately to sever refused to break, tethering her to Lucas with an unyielding force. The memory of his touch in that dream, his voice, haunted her, igniting a heat that burned through her resolve. She pressed a hand to her chest, her heartbeat erratic. The ache was more than emotional; it was physical, a deep yearning that left her hollow and wanting. ---The frustration grew unbearable,

“Lila,” a deep, velvety voice cut through the stillness, catching her off guard. Her fingers froze midair, hovering above her laptop’s keys. “Who is this?” she demanded, her tone sharp, though a faint tremor betrayed her unease. The man on the other end chuckled softly, a sound that sent shivers cascading down her spine. “You don’t recognize me? I’m hurt. After all, we’ve been circling each other for weeks, haven’t we?” She gritted her teeth, frustration and wariness flaring. “Stop playing games. Who are you, and what do you want?” There was a pause, long enough for her wolf to stir, its restlessness mirroring her own. Then, with maddening calm, he said, “Let’s just say I’m someone who knows you better than you think.” Her blood ran cold. She glanced at her laptop screen, her instincts screaming at her to move, to act, but curiosity pinned her in place. ---Her fingers resumed their movement, rapidly pulling up the caller ID tracker embedded in her system. Whoever this man

“You’re telling me you found her?” Lucas’s voice was a mix of disbelief and hope, cutting through the quiet hum of the car engine.I nodded, keeping my eyes fixed on the road. “The cyber team tracked her last call. It wasn’t easy, but they managed to bypass her blockers for a brief moment before she disappeared again.”Lucas leaned forward, his hands gripping the dashboard. “Where?”I hesitated, knowing how much was riding on this information. “A small cabin on the outskirts of the city. But it’s not just about the location—it’s the fact that she slipped. She’s usually more careful than this.”“That means she’s distracted,” Loren chimed in from the backseat. Her tone was analytical, her fingers flying across her laptop. “It could be the bond messing with her focus. If she’s anything like Lucas was after he left, she’s barely holding it together.”Lucas shot her a sharp look but didn’t argue. “What’s the plan when we get there?”My grip on the wheel tightened. “We observe first. We don

Lucas reached for the next door , his knuckles rapping against it for the third time, the sound echoing in the stillness of the cabin. Jake watched from his position across the room, his eyes darting between the door and the window, scanning for any movement. The tension had been building for what felt like hours, a slow burn that threatened to consume them. Every inch of the house seemed to hold its breath, like a predator waiting to strike.“Nothing,” Lucas muttered, stepping back from the door with a frustrated sigh. “She’s not in there.”Jake’s gaze flicked over to Loren, who had been systematically checking the other rooms. She gave him a quick shake of the head, signaling that nothing had changed. The cabin remained eerily silent, the thick scent of dust and abandonment lingering in the air. It was as if time had stopped here, frozen in some moment long past.“Should we check the basement?” Loren asked, her voice calm but taut with the same underlying anxiety that Jake was feeli

Mated To Twin Alphas Chapter 109 : Morning Tension
"Where is Jake?" Lila’s voice cut through the morning stillness, sharp with unease. She barely touched her breakfast, the plate in front of her nearly untouched. Lucas, sitting across from her, stirred his coffee with deliberate calm, seemingly unaffected by the tension crackling between them. "Handling something important," Lucas answered vaguely. Lila’s fingers curled into fists. "Something important? That’s not an answer, Lucas." His gaze flickered up to meet hers, steady and unreadable. "It’s not something you need to worry about." Her stomach churned. "Not something I need to worry about? My servers are missing, Lucas. Do you even understand what’s on them?" Lucas set his cup down with a quiet clink. "Yes, I do." "Then tell me why you’re acting like this is nothing!" Her frustration boiled over, her voice rising. "Do you have any idea how much damage could be done if that data falls into the wrong hands?" Lucas sighed, rubbing his temples. "We’re looking into it."

Lucas's hold tightened slightly, his warmth grounding me in ways I hadn’t expected. "You don’t have to figure everything out right now. Just… let us in."I wanted to. More than anything. But the walls I had spent years building weren’t so easily torn down. Every time I let myself believe in this—in them—a whisper of doubt crept in, reminding me of all the reasons I shouldn’t.Jake sighed, almost as if he could hear my thoughts. "You overthink everything."Lucas smirked faintly, his gaze softening. "It’s what she does best."I let out a shaky laugh, and something shifted in their expressions—like a weight lifting, even if only slightly."Better," Jake murmured, his thumb brushing against my jaw. "I like it when you laugh."My throat tightened. "I don’t know how to let go."Lucas’s grip never wavered. "Then don’t," he said simply. "Just lean on us instead."That was the real fear, wasn’t it? Letting go felt like losing control, but leaning on them… That was different. That was trust.Ja

Lucas leaned in, pressing his forehead against mine. His warmth seeped into me, soothing the tension I hadn’t even realized I was holding. "Are you okay?" he asked, his thumb tracing soft circles against my cheek. His expression was open, vulnerable in a way that sent my heart racing."Yes," I breathed. "I want this—I want us."Jake let out a slow breath, as if he’d been holding it in, waiting for those words. His hand brushed against my shoulder, grounding me, steadying me in a way I hadn't expected."You don’t have to be afraid," he murmured. "We’re not going anywhere."Lucas’s fingers tightened slightly around mine, a silent reassurance. "It’s okay to be scared," he admitted. "But you don’t have to carry it alone."I swallowed hard, feeling the weight of their words settle deep in my chest. No one had ever told me that before. No one had ever wanted to carry anything with me. I had spent so long convincing myself I had to be strong, that I had to keep everything locked away—but now

He smirked. “You eat, don’t you?” She stared at him. “I—of course, but…” She hesitated. “What are you making?” Asher opened the fridge and pulled out a pack of ground meat. “yambeef.” Elena blinked again. The powerful Alpha—the man who had just silenced an entire pack with a single growl—was now casually talking about yambeef. She wasn’t sure whether to laugh or be more confused. Still, something about the abrupt change in mood made her relax. At least a little. She folded her arms, tilting her head. “You cook?” Asher glanced at her. “Do I look like someone who doesn’t?” Elena hesitated. “…Honestly?” One brow arched. “Careful, Elena.” A small, unexpected smile tugged at her lips. For a moment, the weight of the day lifted, and she allowed herself to simply watch him move around the kitchen. The way he effortlessly grabbed ingredients, the way he seemed completely at ease in his own space. Her gaze drifted across the room again—the wooden beams, the large

"Sit," Asher’s deep voice commanded. Elena hesitated, hovering near the doorway of his home. Her eyes flickered over the elegant black couches, the wooden table, the fireplace flickering with golden embers. The place was beautiful. It suited him. Dark. Refined. Commanding. But she—she didn’t belong in a place like this. Still, Asher was watching her, waiting. Slowly, she moved forward and sank into a seat at the kitchen island, her fingers gripping the cool marble counter. Asher walked past her, opening the fridge. The sound of the door creaking open, the soft clink of glass against metal—it all felt too normal. Too mundane, given the chaos of earlier. Elena swallowed hard. The tension in her shoulders refused to ease, even as Asher casually pulled out a plate of food. His presence was the only thing grounding her—the warmth of his body as he moved past her, the occasional brush of his fingers against her skin. The firm, steady weight of his hand resting
Mated To Twin Alphas Chapter 104 : Claiming And Marking
...The moment hung in the air, thick with anticipation, the prelude to the complete and utter claiming that was about to unfold. A hush fell over the room, broken only by the sound of Lila’s ragged breaths. Lucas, his eyes locked on hers, moved with a slow, deliberate grace. He positioned himself behind her, the tip of his cock pressing against her slick entrance. The anticipation was almost unbearable, a delicious tension that coiled tight in Lila’s belly. With a deep breath, he began to push forward, the slow, gradual entry stretching her, filling her with his heat.Lila gasped, a sharp intake of air as she felt him slide inside her. The initial stretch was intense, a sensation that teetered on the edge of pain, yet was quickly overtaken by a burgeoning pleasure. She clenched her muscles around him, instinctively pulling him deeper, craving the fullness of his presence. A low moan escaped her lips, a mixture of surrender and anticipation.Jake's voice, a low rumble in her ear, soot
Mated To Twin Alphas Chapter 103 : Claiming Knot and Marks
The air in the room thrummed with unspoken fears, a palpable tension that clung to Lila like a second skin. Her eyes, usually vibrant and full of life, were shadowed with a deep, primal anxiety. "Don't... don't leave me," she whispered, her voice barely audible, a raw plea against the phantom of abandonment. Her fingers, trembling, clutched at the soft fabric of Lucas's shirt, her knuckles white. "I can't... I can't lose you. Either of you." The words were a fragile confession of her deepest vulnerability, a desperate attempt to anchor herself to the two men who had irrevocably claimed her heart.Lucas's hand, warm and reassuring, covered hers, his strong fingers intertwining with her own. "Lila," he murmured, his voice a low, soothing rumble, "we're not going anywhere. We're yours, completely and utterly. There is no 'losing' us. We're bound to you, heart and soul." His gaze, intense and unwavering, held hers, promising a loyalty that transcended mere words. Jake, standing beside hi

She buried her face in her hands, breathing in shakily. “For so long, my purpose was revenge. I let it consume me. I spent years chasing ghosts, believing that if I avenged my father, I could somehow make sense of his death.”Jake's expression darkened. “And now?”She let out a humorless laugh, leaning against the headboard. “And now? I don’t know who I am anymore.”Lucas took a step forward. “Then figure it out. But don’t let the past define you.”Lila sighed, fingers tracing the jagged scar along her forearm. “You think I don’t know that? But the Moon Goddess didn’t make it easy. She gave me you two. The very men I was supposed to hate.”Jake’s lips pressed into a thin line. “And when you denied the bond, what happened?”Lila's throat tightened. The memory of fire, of screaming, of pain so unbearable it nearly broke her came rushing back.“The explosion.” Her voice was hollow. “The moment I turned my back on fate, I was punished. I lost my arm. I lost everything.”Lucas' gaze soften

“I hate you!”Lila's voice rang through the dimly lit hotel room, raw and filled with a fury that left the air crackling with tension. Her chest heaved, fists clenched at her sides as she glared at Lucas, her entire body trembling with emotion. The words had escaped before she could stop them, before she could swallow down the storm that had been brewing within her since the moment he had spoken those words—*Do you want to have sex with the man who killed your father?*Lucas stood unmoving, his gaze unreadable, his expression impassive. But Lila saw it—the flicker of something behind his cold exterior. Guilt? Regret? Maybe both. Yet it wasn’t enough.The hotel door swung open.Jake stepped in, his brows furrowed as he took in the scene before him. His gaze bounced between them, his usual easy-going demeanor vanishing in an instant. “What the hell is going on?”Lila sucked in a shaky breath, her mind spinning. She turned sharply to Jake, the intensity of her emotions still gripping her
