"Is she awake yet?" Lucas asked, his eyes locked on the screen before him.

"Just stirring now," Jake replied, leaning against the desk. "You really think she’s gonna like it?"

Lucas didn’t answer immediately. He watched as Lila sat up, rubbing sleep from her eyes. His heartbeat picked up when she noticed the small box resting on the bedside table. For a moment, she didn’t move, just staring at it as if it were something foreign.

"She’s hesitating," Jake noted, folding his arms.

"She’s curious," Lucas corrected. "Just give her a moment."

On the screen, Lila reached for the box. She lifted it slowly, fingers brushing over the velvet surface. Her expression remained unreadable as she unlatched it, revealing the delicate silver pendant inside.

Lucas held his breath.

Lila’s thumb ran over the tiny engraving on the pendant. Something flickered across her face—something Lucas couldn’t quite place. Hope flared in his chest.

Then, without a word, she snapped the box shut.

  • Mated To Twin Alphas    Chapter 59: Unfulfilled Ache

    "I'm telling you, Lucas, she's not going to make this easy for you," Jake said, his voice low and serious."I don't expect her to," Lucas replied, his eyes fixed on the screen in front of him."You're really going to just sit there and watch her sleep?" Jake asked, raising an eyebrow.Lucas didn't respond. He couldn't tear his eyes away from Lila's peaceful form.As he stood there, a pang of longing struck him. He wished he could hold Lila like Jake once did, feel her warmth and closeness. The thought tormented him, and he knew he had to be near her.Without thinking, Lucas made his way to Lila's room. Her scent stirred deep emotions within him, and he felt his wolf stirring. He stood by her bedside, longing for her touch but holding himself back."I shouldn't be here," he whispered to himself, but he couldn't bring himself to leave.Instead, he reached into his pocket and retrieved the pendant. He had given it to her as a symbol of their bond, but she had rejected it. Now, he was det

  • Mated To Twin Alphas    Chapter 60: The Moment

    The softness in her tone caught him off guard. It was a subconscious call, a whispered admission that she was aware of his presence. Lucas's heart skipped a beat as he wondered if she was truly awake or simply dreaming of him.For a moment, he hesitated, torn between the desire to stay and the risk of shattering the illusion. Her unexpected tenderness tempted him to linger, to see if she would say more, but he knew better. He decided to leave before the spell was broken.As he turned to leave, Lila's sleepy voice halted him. "Where are you going?" she asked, her words barely above a whisper.Lucas froze, his back to her. He didn't dare turn around, fearing what he might see. "I'm just going to...check on some things," he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.There was a pause, and for a moment, Lucas thought he'd gotten away with it. But then Lila spoke again, her voice a little stronger this time. "Don't go."The words hung in the air like a challenge, and Lucas felt his resol

  • Mated To Twin Alphas    Chapter 61: Lila and Lucas

    "You don't know what you're talking about," she told him, feeling overwhelmed by her emotions. It had been weeks since she had seen him. It felt like she had finally found a part of herself that had somehow gone missing."I don't?" he questioned, watching her darkly. "Then tell me, Lila. Why must you keep pushing me away? Why do you keep ignoring me? Why do you hate me so much?" he pushed. "I want to know everything."She could burst into flames at that moment as her darkest memories flashed in front of her eyes, reminding her of all those years she had to spend orphaned and nearly homeless. The sense of loss she felt then made it seem like her life had ended and there was nothing left for her to live for.It made her feel so alone, deserted, lonely, and insignificant because the only people she mattered to were gone forever. It shattered her devastatingly. No matter how much she tried to be strong on the surface, her darkness always found a way to seep through.She wanted to yell at

    His breath hitched, and his hands roamed down her body, gripping her waist firmly. “You push me away, and then you pull me back in. You’re driving me insane.”“Then let me fix it,” she whispered, arching against him. Her lips found his neck, her teeth grazing his skin as she fought the overwhelming hunger inside her.Lucas groaned, his grip tightening. “Tell me you won’t disappear after this. Tell me you won’t shut me out again.”She hesitated. A part of her knew she always ran, but she didn’t want to think about that now. She just wanted him, only him.“Right now, all I know is I need you,” she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.His gaze darkened. “That’s not enough.”She flinched at the intensity in his voice. “Then make it enough,” she challenged, her nails digging into his back, silently begging him to close the space between them.Lucas let out a deep, shaky breath before capturing her lips again, his kiss demanding, possessive. His hands slid under her shirt, his finger

    "Lila, you awake?" Jake's voice cut through the haze in her mind. Lila barely moved, staring at the ceiling, her thoughts tangled in the events of the past. The sheets were cool against her skin, the silence of the room pressing in around her. A shadow shifted by the door. "Come on," Jake continued, his tone lighter. "Don’t make me check if you’re breathing. That would be awkward for both of us." She sighed, rolling onto her side, meeting his gaze. "I’m breathing." Jake smirked, stepping into the room. "Good to know. But judging by that look on your face, you’re either plotting my murder or contemplating the mysteries of the universe." Lila didn't answer. She wasn’t sure she had an answer. Jake sat on the edge of the bed, too close for her liking, yet she didn’t move away. His warmth, his presence—it was a reminder that she wasn’t entirely alone, even if she wanted to be. "You slept longer than usual," he observed. "Want to talk about it?" She let out a short laugh

    Jake’s voice was soft, careful. "Does it hurt?" Lila glanced down at her cybernetic arm, fingers curling slightly as if testing its weight. "No," she murmured. "Not really." He reached out, hesitating just before touching it. "Can I?" She tensed. No one had asked before. The doctors, the engineers—they had handled it like a machine, something separate from her. But Jake… he asked. Lila gave a small nod. His fingers brushed over the metal, gentle, exploring. "It’s warm," he noted, surprised. "It adjusts to my body temperature." Jake hummed thoughtfully. "That’s… kind of amazing." She didn’t answer, too focused on the way his touch made something in her chest tighten. He wasn’t looking at her arm with pity, wasn’t treating her like something broken. For some reason, that made it harder to breathe. "You know," he continued, voice light, "you could totally use this as an advantage. Punch someone, and they’d never see it coming." Despite herself, Lila huffed a small l

  • Mated To Twin Alphas    Chapter 65

    Chapter:The Jake, with his companion nestled close, providing nourishment, felt an unparalleled joy. He envisioned repeating this ritual daily, a constant source of anticipation. Lila was the center of his universe, his personal sun, radiating warmth and contentment. Yet, a shadow lingered. He recalled the previous day's painful exchange between Lila and Lucas, his brother. Lucas appeared shattered, a sight that caused the Jake considerable unease. He felt a strong urge to discuss this with Lila, to understand her reasons for rejecting Lucas. However, he hesitated, wary of jeopardizing the fragile trust she seemed to offer him. He knew that pushing her too hard could cause her to retreat further into herself. After the Jake finished feeding Lila a specially prepared breakfast, designed by the chef to be richer and calorie-dense to aid her wolf's rapid recovery, he inquired about her readiness. The meal, however, had made her drowsy, an unfamiliar sensation. She responded with a y

  • Mated To Twin Alphas    Chapter 66

    Lucas fixated on the monitor, his gaze unwavering as Jake positioned her for the camera. His body tightened, a dull ache pulsing within him as Jake's fingers gently separated her delicate folds, revealing her completely. He understood Jake's intentions. Jake had sensed his inner turmoil, his carefully constructed composure crumbling. Though he usually excelled at masking his emotions, presenting a stoic facade, Jake possessed an uncanny ability to perceive others' true feelings, and he saw right through him. Jake was also aware of his tense exchange with Lila the previous day. His actions were a gesture of support, and despite his reservations about Jake pushing their shared companion too quickly, he found himself unable to tear his eyes away from the screen as Jake displayed her before the camera, ensuring every detail was visible. He groaned, a sensation of fullness building within him, almost painful. The scene before him felt surreal, like a dream unfolding, because he had f

    Lila’s words lingered in the air like a challenge.“Let’s make a new plan. Because something tells me Rikkard isn’t the only ghost who’ll be showing up.”Jake gave her a cautious look, sensing something unspoken underneath her defiance. “You’ve been thinking about this for a while, haven’t you?”She didn’t answer right away. Instead, she walked back toward the small table near the window where her satchel lay. She reached inside slowly, fingers brushing past the notebook she’d been scribbling in since they arrived in Venut. But it wasn’t the notebook she was after.It was the small, battered silver device hidden beneath it—no bigger than a deck of cards. It hummed faintly in her palm, the casing warm to the touch.Jake’s brow furrowed the moment he saw it. “What is that?”Lila looked at him, then at Lucas, her eyes steady. “I wasn’t just sitting here waiting for you two to come back. While you were keeping Rikkard busy, I was busy too.”Jake crossed the room in two strides. “Lila—what

    Jake didn’t move until the elevator doors slid closed behind Rikkard.Lucas let out a breath that was more of a growl. “He’s gone. For now.”Jake ran a hand down his face. “That was too close.”Lucas turned to him, voice sharp. “We need a plan, Jake. If he gets even a hint of the truth—about her—he won’t stop until he finds her.”“I know,” Jake muttered. “That’s why we’re going to give him something else to chase.”Lucas raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”“A misdirection,” Jake said, already walking toward the lounge bar where a bottle of aged scotch was quietly calling his name. “He’s desperate. He wants answers. We give him just enough to feel like he’s getting somewhere, but not enough to lead him to Lila.”Lucas followed him warily. “You want to lie to him.”Jake poured a finger of scotch and downed it. “Yes. I want to lie so well that he doesn’t think to look any closer.”Ten minutes later, they found Rikkard leaning against a column in the hotel lobby, like a man half-expect

    “You’re joking, right? Please tell me this is some twisted prank,” Lucas muttered under his breath, his eyes never leaving the figure lounging by the fireplace.“I wish it were,” Jake replied quietly, jaw clenched. “But that’s him. That’s Rikkard.”Lucas swore under his breath. “Of all the days… why the hell would he show up in Venut?”“I don’t know,” Jake admitted, hands fisted in his jacket pockets. “But we need to play this smart. We can’t let him know about Lila.”Lucas inhaled sharply and nodded. “You sure he hasn’t seen her?”“Positive. He only saw us. Let’s keep it that way.”The plush lounge of the hotel was dimly lit, scented with expensive cologne, polished leather, and cigar smoke. Rikkard was seated casually on a velvet couch, legs crossed, swirling amber liquid in a crystal tumbler. His demeanor was relaxed, almost amused—but Jake could see it. The glint of calculated menace in his eyes.Jake took a breath and approached with Lucas, every step deliberate. They stopped jus

    “Tell me you’re joking,” Lucas muttered, his voice low and edged with tension.“I wish I were,” Jake replied, running a hand through his damp hair. “But he’s here. In Venut. I saw his convoy near the North Quarter twenty minutes ago.”Lila blinked. “Wait, Rikkard? As in—the Rikkard?”Jake gave a grim nod. “The Mad Alpha himself.”Lucas straightened from where he sat beside Lila on the hotel bed, his entire body going rigid. “How the hell did he find out we were here?”“Doesn’t matter,” Jake said. “What matters is that he’s here. And if he’s sniffing around, it’s not just to catch up over drinks.”Lila’s face lost all color. “You told me he wasn’t a threat anymore.”“I told you what I needed to so you’d sleep,” Jake said quietly, shame flickering across his expression. “But clearly, I was wrong.”“Perfect,” Lucas growled. “Just what we need—another lunatic Alpha throwing his weight around.”“Not just another lunatic,” Jake said, voice clipped. “He’s the lunatic. The one who ripped out

    “…She’s alive,” Lila repeated, quieter now. “I just don’t know where.”Lucas’s hand tightened briefly on her shoulder before he let go, stepping back to give her space even as his eyes lingered with worry. Jake returned to the window, gaze hard and focused.The silence that followed was the kind that spoke louder than words.Then—Knock. Knock. Knock.Not soft. Not tentative.The kind of knock that didn’t ask permission.Jake’s head snapped toward the door. Lucas was already moving—one hand reaching into the drawer beneath the minibar, where he’d hidden a blade and compact gun. Lila rose too, pulse leaping as the door handle turned despite the locks still being in place.Click.“Jake,” Lucas said, tone sharp.Jake strode toward the door and yanked it open an inch just as the locks disengaged, bypassed from the outside.The man who stepped in didn’t belong in any polished hotel suite. His mere presence dimmed the luxurious lighting, as if shadows followed him in.Rikkard.He was as unm

    “I didn’t mean to wake you,” Lucas murmured, brushing a strand of hair from her face.“You didn’t,” Lila whispered back, her voice still drowsy. “I was already half-awake. I just didn’t want to move.”“You were sore,” he said gently, guilt flickering across his features. “I can feel it in your muscles.”“I’m fine,” she said, but he was already moving, sliding from the bed with careful grace.Jake’s voice floated in from the other room. “She’s not fine if she’s wincing in her sleep.”“I wasn’t wincing,” Lila muttered, rolling her eyes even as her cheeks flushed. She tried to sit up, only to wince slightly at the sting between her thighs. Damn it.Lucas was already wetting a towel from the tiny sink across the room. “Don’t lie to me, little wolf,” he said with an affectionate smile that didn’t quite mask his concern. “You’re strong, but you’re not indestructible.”Jake appeared in the doorway, arms crossed, his eyes scanning her with that piercing protectiveness that made her squirm mor

    A Morning of Warmth and Wariness:“Lucas… your knot’s still in,” Lila mumbled, voice raspy with sleep.“I know,” he murmured against her shoulder, lips brushing her skin. “Didn’t want to wake you. You were peaceful.”“I’m not now,” she grumbled, stretching slightly and wincing at the soreness spreading through her hips.His arm tightened around her waist. “Sorry. I lost control.”“You didn’t.” She turned in his arms to face him. “I gave it willingly. Don’t take that away from me.”He searched her face, his eyes dark with concern. “You’re sore.”“I’m alive,” she said with a soft smile. “And I’m with you. That’s enough.”Lucas exhaled, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “Still… I should’ve been gentler.”“You’ll make up for it,” she teased, and for a moment, the heaviness in the room eased.The cabin bedroom was dim, the blinds half-drawn against the gray light of morning. Somewhere beyond the walls of this quiet space, the engines hummed low and steady. But here, wrapped in warm

    “You’re safe now,” Lucas whispered, his knot still pulsing deep inside her.But safety was only one part of it.Lila trembled, her body molded against his, the fullness of his knot keeping her grounded and overwhelmed in equal measure. Her breath hitched, shallow and stuttered, as her inner muscles clenched around him again—an aftershock, or maybe the prelude to something more.Lucas didn’t move.Didn’t demand.He simply waited.And that, more than anything, unraveled her.“I can’t move,” she breathed, eyes clenched shut.“Yes, you can,” he murmured, brushing hair from her face. “You’re not broken, Lila. You’re not fragile. Not anymore.”Her fingers dug into the armrest, breath catching.Lucas leaned forward, his lips at her ear. “I want you to move. I want you to ride it. Take what you need from me.”Her heart stuttered.This wasn’t a command.It was a gift.Her legs ached. Her body throbbed. But still, she shifted—slowly, hesitantly—testing the taut pressure where their bodies remai

    Lila’s breathing had slowed, her body molded to Lucas’s as though it belonged there—because it did. But the storm inside him hadn’t yet passed.Not even close.The feel of her, bare and vulnerable in his arms, only fueled his craving. His wolf still paced beneath his skin, restless and territorial, demanding more—demanding all of her. Every breath. Every sound. Every submissive gasp she hadn’t dared give anyone else.Lucas’s voice was low against her ear. “Up. On your knees.”She blinked in surprise.Still curled in his lap, wrapped in the thin barrier of his jacket, Lila hesitated.Lucas didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t need to.His fingers skimmed under the fabric, trailing down her spine. “Don’t make me repeat myself.”Her heartbeat kicked harder, not out of fear—but recognition.She moved. Slowly. Carefully. She slid from his lap and turned, positioning herself between his legs, kneeling. The soft carpet beneath her knees contrasted with the burn in her chest. The jacket slipped
