-Willow-

Cain’s words cut deeper than I expected, but he was also my mate. Yet I couldn’t bring back the dead. No one could. All I could do was lie there and hope that my presence comforted Cain. It seemed to work. His tears stopped, and his body relaxed against mine. Slowly, he drifted back to sleep, this time resting much better. He wasn’t haunted by nightmares—or perhaps it was memories? At least he was finally sleeping.

“How do I help you?” I whispered, running my fingers through his hair, knowing he couldn’t hear me.

Maybe we could get naked? my wolf suggested.

“That’s not funny.”

I wasn’t trying to be.

“Could you come up with a better idea?” I demanded.

It’s what you need when you’re sad.

“I was angry and felt betrayed by Carter. This is entirely different. So come up with a better idea,” I snapped.

This is my best idea.

“Getting naked?” I inquired.

Just being in bed with him. It seems like he just needs us close.

“Then we’ll stay close. I’ll get him something to eat when he isn’

    -Willow-Cain was typing away on his keyboard with such intensity that it filled the office with noise. His tense energy permeated the room, making it hard to breathe. I glanced at Henry, who shrugged, clearly unwilling to be the one to interrupt our alpha while he worked. Cain had been in the office since last night, and I knew he hadn’t slept a wink.“Cain?” I called, trying to get him to slow down, but he didn’t react. “Cain?”“Not now, Willow.” He dismissed me, and I sighed.“We should talk about the next trial.” I tried to come up with a compelling reason for him to slow down, but he shot me a look that clearly said, Not now, before returning to his typing.“It’s important that we prepare you. With a king needing to be found, the council will insist on putting you through these trials faster, which means more events like important interviews and meetings will be coming up.”“I have an important meeting to prepare for, and it has nothing to do with a stupid throne.”“Remember why w

    -Willow-“How is he doing?” Eva asked as she sat across from me.We hadn’t spoken in a while for more than one reason. But after everything that had happened, it all felt small compared to what we were currently dealing with.“Not good,” I admitted. “I catch him staring out the window at night.”“Weren’t you going to see Carter?”“We were. Cain wants to get more wolves out there to help, and we’ve already sent some fighters ourselves, but he knows his brother isn’t doing well. I think he wants to choose the right moment.”“Which is when? If Cain is walking around like a zombie, I’m guessing Carter is too,” Eva replied.“Yeah, he isn’t doing very well either. I almost feel worse for him,” I confessed.“Why?”“Because he has no one. His mother has hidden away, his father is dead, and Cain is here with me as we’re expecting a child. Who does Carter have?”“I’m sure he must have some friends,” Eva said.“But are they real?” I countered.She shrugged. “He did that to himself if he didn’t.”

    -Cain-I didn’t even notice when I fell into a trance. Even now, in the middle of the day, it happened. My mind wasn’t occupied with anything. I was simply lost.“Cain?” A soft knock echoed on the office door, and I felt Willow approaching. I knew she had spent the day with Eva, so if she had come to find me, a significant amount of time had passed.Suddenly, I felt her arms wrap around me from behind as Willow hugged me tightly, bringing a smile to my lips. I wondered what I would have become without her. She made me feel stable again.“Are you okay?” she whispered, pressing her cheek against my back. I reached up and stroked one of her arms.“I’m okay.”“You don’t seem that way. Did you eat?”“I honestly can’t remember when I got here,” I replied.“Cain,” she sighed, and the pain in her voice was hard to bear.I spun around in her arms, placing my hands on her hips as I faced her.“I will get better,” I promised.She reached up, placing her hands on my neck. “I know. You just need ti

    -Willow-Cain and I went to the palace the next day, leaving Henry to keep an eye on the pack. As we walked inside, a heavy silence enveloped us. When a servant passed by, I called out to her.“Have the prince and queen left their room or the king’s office?” I asked.“No, my princess. They are still there,” she replied.“Have they eaten?”“A little. The prince seems to be doing better,” she explained.I nodded in thanks as she walked away, then turned to Cain, noticing the pain etched on his face.“Who do you want to see first? Or should we split up?” I asked.“Yes, I’ll see my mother first. I think it’s best if I do that alone. I’ll meet you in my father’s office if you can get inside,” he replied.“Okay, see you in a bit.”We parted ways, Cain heading to find his mother while I went to check on Carter. I knocked on the door to the king’s old office and was surprised when I heard Carter approaching quickly. He opened the door, and I noticed he looked a little better. His hair and clot

    -Cain-I walked beside my brother in silence, neither of us speaking as we took in the fresh air. I could see it was lifting his mood, and it was helping me too.“You keep looking at me,” Carter said, turning to give me a strange look.“Did you ever love her?” I blurted out, grabbing his arm to stop him from walking further.“Who?”“Don’t play dumb. You knew what would happen when you revealed those things. You forget I loved chaos once as well, but I need to know, Carter. If you ever loved her, I can understand a bit of retaliation, because it means I took something precious from you. But I don’t want to be at war with my brother. If you loved her, tell me now, and let me make it up to you. We need each other more than ever, and I doubt Father would have wanted us to destroy each other in the most vile ways,” I said earnestly.Carter sighed and looked at the ground. I released his arm, waiting for him to respond. He took his time, crossing his arms and kicking at the dirt.“I don’t kn

    -Willow-I was cleaning out the office when I heard something behind me. Slowly, I turned, letting out a startled scream. Although I had expected someone to be there, the last person I thought would appear stood in the doorway, wrapped in a long robe.“Your Majesty,” I said, bowing my head.Her tired eyes scanned the room, examining every corner before landing on my hands, which held the empty wrapper of a candy bar.“What are you doing?” she asked.“Um… cleaning up,” I replied.“Why?”“Because your son has been staying here, and I thought he might appreciate a cleaner room,” I explained, walking over to the trashcan to dispose of the wrapper. When I turned back, she had stepped closer, an unusual energy surrounding her.“Where is he?” she inquired.“Cain and I came to check on you two. Right now, they are out walking,” I replied.The queen’s eyes swept up and down my body before slowly locking onto mine. I held her gaze, unsure of what to think or do.“Can I help you with something, m

    -Cain-The way my mate looked at her former fiancé—the man she had thought she would spend her life with—hit me like a punch to the gut. Did she want his words to be true?No, she can’t! She is ours, my wolf growled.She was, but that look was impossible to interpret any other way. It was as if she were begging Carter to repeat it, to tell her the truth about his feelings—and it hurt.“What?” Willow asked, though she was looking at Carter.I turned slightly, glancing at my brother as my anger flared again, but I didn’t move. Carter glanced at me but quickly returned his eyes to Willow.“I was scared,” he admitted. “I was scared of what I felt, so I pulled away. I betrayed you.”“I don’t understand.”“I didn’t want to love you because I feared you would choose Cain like everyone else,” he explained. “But even knowing what you have with my brother, I see it doesn’t matter because I do love you.”Willow’s mouth fell open in shock, and I realized Carter had never been so honest with her.

    -Willow-Walking around with Carter felt nice, as if we were slipping back into our old roles. As we strolled and chatted about everything and nothing, a realization dawned on me.“You know, fighting over a girl is such a cliché,” I teased, revisiting our earlier topic. Carter chuckled and nodded as we turned a corner.“Yeah, I know.” He turned to me, offering a small smile, and I returned it.“Just promise me you’ll never do it again.”“He hit me first,” Carter replied defensively.“And what did you do in return?”“I hit him back.”“Exactly.”He laughed again, and I joined in, the tension easing between us.“You really thought I would run after Cain if given the chance?” I asked.“You’re with him now, aren’t you?” he inquired.“Yes, but we’re true mates. It’s not fair to throw that in my face. I did love you, Carter. Even when I was mated to Cain and your father ordered that we be bound together, all I wanted was to be with you,” I admitted.Carter stopped and looked at me with wide e

    -Carter-My heart froze as we locked eyes. Hers were a deep green, and I loved them from the moment I saw them. She offered me a nervous smile, clearly trying to ignore the messages our wolves were sending us, before she hurried off with the glasses on her tray. An undeniable urge to follow her coursed through me.“Carter!” my brother called, pulling me from my thoughts. I turned to him.“Huh?”“Come on, it’s our turn,” Cain told me.“Um, yeah, just say hello from me,” I replied, taking off in the opposite direction. I heard him call after me, but I couldn’t stop now.Every nerve in my body was vibrating, urging me to find my mate. I had seen the way she left the ballroom, and as I entered the hallway, it was much easier to follow her scent out here. I found her in the kitchen, gathering more glasses for the party amidst the sounds of the bustling staff. I made sure not to enter immediately, instead retreating a little to find a room where I could intercept her. I waited until she pass

  • The Wrong Alpha Twin   Epilogue

    -Cain-I watched as Weston held one of my daughters overhead, pulling a funny face that made her giggle. The sight filled my heart with warmth, yet I couldn’t shake the worry that gnawed at me as I glanced over at my mother, who was holding my other daughter—something I had reluctantly allowed.My daughters were only a year old, but Carter had lived in this house for quite some time with his own mate, who had just given birth to a son, and it seemed to be going well. Surprisingly, everything was functioning smoothly, but I had made it clear to Willow that I would never allow my mother to be alone with my children. Still, it was hard to resist my mate’s pleas to give my mother a chance.I couldn’t forgive her, but I noticed the change in her demeanor when she was with my daughter. She seemed genuinely different—happier.“Hey,” Willow said, coming up behind me and wrapping her arms around me.I turned slightly so I could wrap my arm around her in return, resting my hand over her flat sto

    -Willow-It was surprising how quickly everything unfolded. Soon, the queen was confined to the palace, limited to her room and the lower floor of that section. She had her meals brought to her, but this arrangement allowed her to spend time with Weston, and I could see how grateful he was for that. He even hugged Carter tightly when he came to witness the transfer, but Cain didn’t even appear.I knew Weston and his mate understood, but I could sense their longing for Cain to be more accepting of the situation. For now, this was how things would be, and as Carter and I walked together through the palace, we both had homes to return to.“So, do I ever get to be properly introduced to your mate?” I teased.“I’ve actually convinced her to move here with me. She’s just nervous because we come from two different worlds,” he explained.“I can understand that. Maybe we should all have dinner together.”“I’m not sure we can lure Cain here. He’s… determined,” Carter groaned.I sighed. “You’re p

    -Willow-The news spread quickly, shocking me as much as everyone else. No one had expected the queen to go so far, yet as the days dragged on, the council remained divided on how to punish her. I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy. The queen deserved punishment, but I realized she wouldn’t have acted as she did if she hadn’t been forced to smile and nod through the pain inflicted on her by others. Weston had made a good point: I could have been the queen. I could have become just as desperate…“It’s really unbelievable she did it,” Eva said, breaking me free from my thoughts.She sat across from me in a small café we had agreed to meet at so I could escape the confines of home.“Yeah…”“Why do you sound that way?” she asked, her brow furrowing with concern.“I just… feel like this has become a bigger mess than it should be,” I admitted.“What do you mean? She killed the king and poisoned you! I thought you’d be the first one shouting for her head,” Eva joked.I managed a smal

    -Cain-I was utterly confused about why Weston had asked to be alone with us. He even requested that we stand up, and we formed a small circle beside the table. Carter and I exchanged puzzled glances, but I sensed something unsettling from Willow. Even our mother seemed unsure about what was happening. Only Weston appeared unfazed by the situation.“Why did you send them all out?” Carter inquired, voicing the question lingering on my tongue.“Because I wanted to do this in private before…” Weston glanced at Willow, and I followed his gaze. When she felt my eyes on her, she turned to give me an apologetic look.“Weston,” my mother called, her voice tinged with fear.“Okay, what is going on?” I pressed.“You have to admit it,” he insisted, focusing on my mother.“Admit what? What, Mom?” I urged, and both Carter and I focused on her, but she looked away, refusing to meet our eyes.“What the hell is going on?” Carter demanded, turning to Weston.“It was your mother who poisoned Willow,” We

    -Cain-“Goddess, look at your faces!” Willow exclaimed. “You’re starting to do some serious damage!”As Carter and I sat down to eat, Willow approached to inspect me, tilting my head to the side to examine the cuts and swelling. I grabbed her hands, kissed them, and pulled her down onto my lap.“We’re fine,” I assured her.“We will heal,” Carter added.“Why are you hitting each other so hard?”“It’s called practice. We’re keeping our skills sharp,” I explained.“But Carter can’t even open his right eye, and the cut on your lip is so swollen that I’m afraid you won’t be able to eat!” she scolded.“Eat the food or your—” I started, but she cut me off by placing a hand over my mouth.“Not funny.”I pulled her hand down. “I think it was rather funny.”“What will the council think when they see you like this?” she murmured.“What do you mean?”She glanced between Carter and me, both of us clearly feeling puzzled.“You didn’t notice the meeting the council has called? Have you two been that

    -Cain-“I don’t see the point in this,” my brother said as we stepped into the small gym in our house. I positioned myself on the blue mat, bouncing slightly to get ready, while Carter stood at a distance, wearing sunglasses indoors and a big hoodie over the training clothes I had insisted he change into. He didn’t just look hungover. He looked like a poster boy for the dangers of drinking. He was a complete mess.“You need it,” I told him.“Does it look like I want to work out right now?” he replied.“We’re fighting to keep our skills sharp,” I explained.“Why?”I hesitated, unsure of how to articulate the fear that had been gnawing at me. What Willow had confessed scared the living daylights out of me.“It helps,” I insisted.“It helps to fight with a pounding headache?” he shot back.“Well, that’s on you. You could quit drinking.”He groaned and pulled out a mini flask from his pocket. I sighed and walked over to him, snatching the vodka from his grasp.“Really?” I asked, holding it
