My Twin Alpha Valentines Chapter 350: The Loss of Control (Katelyn's POV)
(Katelyn's POV)When I returned to the meeting room it was just as cold and clinical as it had been when I left it. Simon's inescapable black aura continued to fill the room and I was more desperate than ever to get this over with now. This was so draining.My break hadn't felt like much of a break at all. I'd just spent the time sitting with Tyler and Ryder in the gym, bitching about Simon while I ate snacks from the vending machine. They had both been very encouraging, which I was grateful for, but now that I was back in this room, it was like none of that mattered anymore. It was like it had never even happened as I slipped back into the unease of the room."Welcome back," Helen greeted me with a nod. "Are you ready to continue?" she asked, picking her papers up and tapping them on the desk in front of her to align them better."I guess," I replied with an unenthusiastic shrug before I took my seat once more.The crack in the table still stared up at me, but I chose to ignore it, w
My Twin Alpha Valentines Chapter 351: No Choice (Katelyn's POV)
(Katelyn's POV)I left the meeting room with my pulse thundering and my whole body shaking with rage. I knew storming out hadn’t been the most professional choice, but I couldn’t stand another second under Simon’s hateful scrutiny.His sharp words kept echoing in my mind, cutting deep, stinging like they’d left invisible scars.I made my way down the corridor, every step I took matching the furious beat of my heart. I headed straight back to the gym where Ryder and Tyler were waiting. The second they saw me they both straightened up, obviously sensing something was off.“We’re leaving,” I announced, jaw set and fists clenched.Tyler raised an eyebrow. “Are you done?”“They might not be done, but I am,” I said, my voice still brimming with anger.Ryder’s eyes narrowed with concern. “What happened?”“Fucking Simon, that’s what happened!” I shot back, barely able to contain the fury in my voice. “He wanted a 'demonstration'. He said they need to ‘figure out what to do with me,’ like I’m
My Twin Alpha Valentines Chapter 352: The Final Verdict (Katelyn's POV)
(Katelyn's POV)The scenery blurred past my window, a mixture of towering evergreens and the dull gray of an overcast sky. My forehead rested against the cool glass, and I barely noticed the low hum of the radio in the background. Tyler drove while Ryder sat beside him in the front seat, and David and Liz followed behind us in David's truck.They had been so sweet and reassuring, promising us that they were on our side and whatever happened today, we would all get through it together.Despite the anxiety coiling inside my chest, it felt good to know that they were with us... that they supported us. This was what family was and it felt good to be a part of it.I'd tuned out of the world around me, focusing only on the thoughts that swirled through my head as the rhythmic motion of the car lulled me deeper into some weird kind of trance.My nerves were on edge. Today was the day. The day that the Elders would deliver their final decision. As I sat there, barely conscious of the fact t
My Twin Alpha Valentines Chapter 353: Unresolved (Katelyn's POV)
(Katelyn's POV)The heavy doors of The Fortress loomed ahead, the rain tapping against their dark metal surface. I stood between Ryder and Tyler, with Liz and David just behind us. The soft drizzle felt like icy pinpricks against my skin, but I barely noticed it, too preoccupied by the weight that pressed down on my chest. We stepped into the gym, which seemed a little busier than usual, reminding me that life went on as normal for everyone else. For me... This all felt anything but normal. I still felt like I'd been living in this weird state of limbo for the past couple of weeks. I hated it. It felt like I had no stability, no sense of certainty about anything.I was still in some kind of daze as Tyler and Ryder led me down the hallway to the meeting room. I felt my chest tightening more and more, the anxiety mounting with each step that led me closer to my fate.We stepped into the all too familiar oppressive atmosphere that seemed to accompany every meeting here. Helen stood a
My Twin Alpha Valentines Chapter 354: Things in Common (Katelyn's POV)
(Katelyn's POV)I heard the vague sound of hurried footsteps approaching us, but I made no attempt to lift my head from Ryder's chest to see who it was. In my mind, I had pictured Liz coming to offer me some comfort, but when Ryder spoke, I realized my assumption must have been off."I don't think she wants to talk to you," he said, his voice firm and protective as he still clutched me tightly."Please," Helen's voice begged, "I just need a minute. I just want to explain—"But Tyler cut her off. "Listen, Helen, we appreciate how you've tried to assist with Simon and all that, but I think she just needs some space right now. There's nothing you can say that's going to fix this. It seems pretty obvious that the Council of Elders has their own agenda here," he stated, trying to keep his words firm without coming across as hostile."Katelyn," Helen tried again, refusing to give up, but Ryder simply rotated me away from her, standing as a barrier between us with his back towards her.I hea
My Twin Alpha Valentines Chapter 355: Tides of Change (Katelyn's POV)
(Katelyn's POV)I stared at Helen, my mind spinning with her words. Each revelation felt like a hammer blow, shattering any illusions I’d clung to about where this was going.“So, then what’s the point?” I asked, my voice sharper than I intended. “What’s the point of learning to control my abilities if it won’t make any difference? If they’re just going to see me as some kind of… resource?” The word tasted bitter in my mouth.Helen sighed, her gaze softening as she looked at me. “It’s not that simple, Katelyn. I won’t lie to you, there will always be those who see you as a means to an end. A 'resource', as you put it. That’s not going to change overnight. But that being said, things are changing. Times are changing and so is the way people think.”“Yeah, not fast enough,” I sneered, the frustration bubbling inside me.“No,” Helen admitted, nodding. “Not fast enough. But they ARE changing. And people like you? People like us? We’re the ones who will push those changes forward. We're th
My Twin Alpha Valentines Chapter 356: Searching (Katelyn's POV)
(Katelyn's POV)Two days had passed since The Elders had left, and the weight of their impending decision hung over us like a miserable storm cloud. Everyone seemed to be carrying it differently. Tyler busied himself with pack matters, his steady demeanor a calm anchor amidst the uncertainty. Liz had thrown herself into the house, preparing meals and cleaning each and every nook and cranny as if that might somehow scrub away the tension that had been building. David had been quieter than usual, which was its own kind of unsettling.And Ryder? Ryder had been... absent.At first, I didn't think much of it. Ryder wasn't one to stick to predictable routines. He moved at his own pace and showed up where and when he wanted, usually with some sarcastic comment or mischievous grin.But today was different. I hadn't seen him since the morning when he'd looked a little out of it and had just told me he had a lot on his mind. That was it. That was the last time I had seen him. It was late afterno
My Twin Alpha Valentines Chapter 357: Hiding Places (Tyler's POV)
(Tyler's POV)The Fortress was as busy as ever. People milled around the gym, sparring, chatting, working out, the usual. The faint smell of sweat mingled with disinfectant hung in the air.I scanned the room, hoping to see Ryder beating the shit out of a punching bag or leaning against the wall, smirking at someone’s terrible form, but there was no sign of him.He didn't come here often, so my hopes weren't high to start with, but it was still disappointing when he was nowhere to be seen.If he wasn't in the gym, he didn't really have much reason to be here otherwise. But even so, I figured I may as well make the most of it and do a thorough check of the building.Making my way down the hallway that led to all the meeting rooms and classrooms, I peeked into a few of the rooms where I knew I wouldn't be interrupting anything important. Along the way, I ran into a few familiar faces, but no one I asked had seen him around.With no sign of him here and no solid leads, I stepped back out

My Twin Alpha Valentines Chapter 359: Too Late (Part 2) (Tyler's POV)
(Tyler's POV) Before I had a chance to put together some kind of response, Ryder continued, “You’ve always been better at everything, Tyler. You could always run that much faster. You were always that much stronger. You always scored that much higher. Everything you ever did... Everything you ever do... You just do it better than me. You can even skip a fucking stone further than I can..." he went on, scoffing at the absurdity of it but I could see that it weighed him down.I bit my lip, still not knowing what to say. To some degree it was true, but there was so much more to it."And I don't hate you for it or anything, okay?" he said, as if trying to set the record straight. "It's not like it's your fault that I couldn't measure up. It's just the way things panned out, and that's fine. I guess the pack needs a leader and that's you. You were always the one everyone looked up to and I guess I just figured that the best thing I could do was stay out of your way and not hold you back.
My Twin Alpha Valentines Chapter 358: Too Late (Part 1) (Tyler's POV)
(Tyler's POV)Ryder hesitated for a moment before shaking his head again and replying, "I'm just... trying to figure shit out.”“Figure what out?” I pressed, trying to sound curious rather than forceful.He was quiet for a long moment and I was almost one hundred percent sure he was going to give me the generic 'stuff' reply again, but he surprised me.“That empty feeling I told you guys about after the marking? Well, it’s still there. I tried to ignore it, figuring that The Elders being here was more important. I thought that maybe it would go away if I didn't think about it, but it hasn’t. It's just gotten worse and with all the shit that asshole Simon was saying... I just... I think… I think I might know why I've been feeling this way...” he trailed off.I frowned. “Why?”He hesitated, his hands clenching into fists. “It's the Alpha thing, I'm almost sure of it. I’ve been avoiding it for years, telling myself I didn’t want it, that it isn’t who I am. But now? It’s like it’s catchin
