All Chapters of My Twin Alpha Valentines: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

The sensation was different this time. Instead of feeling like I was falling backward through the floor, it felt like I was being sucked through a black hole. It was a tug that seemed to emanate from my chest and pulled me forward violently through space and time. It felt similar to the way the tide seemed to pull at me when Tyler and I stood on the shore, allowing the waves to ebb and flow over our feet, only about a million times more powerful.Suddenly, I found myself in what appeared to be Ryder's bedroom, but the vision was blurry this time, not clear like the others had been. Ryder stood at my side, his image the only thing that was clear and crisp as his hand clutched mine while his chest heaved slightly. Clearly the slip had taken a physical toll on him too."Why's it so blurry?" he asked, looking around the room with confusion.It was kind of like everything was covered by a veil of some sort, or there was a weird layer of frosted glass that separated us from our surroundings

Tyler and I headed to the kitchen to make dinner. He asked me what I felt like eating and I shrugged. "Anything, I'm starving," I admitted. "I nearly lost my breakfast after the earlier visions and felt so nauseous afterward that I skipped lunch."Tyler nodded and gave me a pitiful look. "Okay, let's make something quick and easy so that we can get you fed and then we can get started on our research."I agreed, eager to find answers, but also to eat.We settled on a quick and easy mac and cheese made from a box. It wasn't the most wholesome meal, but it checked all the boxes.Tyler was stirring a pot on the stove when I leaned against the counter beside him and asked, "So, let's think about this... What do we know so far?"Tyler began, "Well, I guess we know that the visions seem to include at least one of the people involved, so it would appear that it's, like, projecting the memories of one of the participants at any given time."I nodded in agreement. "Except for when they aren't me

The next day, Tyler had classes even though it was a Saturday, but fortunately, he would be finishing reasonably early. I kissed him goodbye and then headed to the kitchen in search of coffee.As I sat at the kitchen island, sipping on my coffee and scrolling through my phone, Ryder wandered in, half asleep. We greeted each other, both sounding tired and groggy as Ryder began to make himself a cup of coffee.He took a seat beside me and asked, "Did you guys find anything last night?"I shook my head. "Not really. We found some stuff, but nothing that seemed to link to our specific experiences."I went on to explain the findings about shared consciousness and possible future visions, though none of it gave us the concrete answers we were searching for.Ryder nodded thoughtfully, taking a sip of his coffee. "Do you want to try again?" he asked after a moment of silence.I hesitated, feeling the weight of our previous attempt. But considering there were no other avenues of theoretical re

We ended up in a pitch-black room and I tried to make sense of whether this was our final destination or was I still being ripped through time and space.The sound of soft whimpering indicated that it was likely we had arrived wherever it was that we were going, but it did nothing to put my worries to rest. It sounded like someone was crying into a pillow and the whole situation made me feel uneasy and sad.The area we found ourselves in was so dark that the only way I knew that Ryder was with me was the feel of his hand in mine."Do you know where we are?" he whispered, clearly as disoriented and confused as I was.I whispered back, "I don't know," shaking my head as I looked around, trying to see if anything was familiar, but it was too dark to tell.Suddenly, we heard loud footsteps approaching from behind us, like some very large person was stomping up a flight of stairs with purpose and determination.The whimpering stopped immediately, and I heard a strangely familiar female voi

(Ryder's POV)Tyler pulled the covers over her as she curled up, the weight of the vision that clung to her evident in her every movement.Tyler shot me a look, half annoyance and half gratitude. I knew he was just as desperate as I was to see her find some peace, even if it was through borrowed medication.“Are you sure that’s okay?” Tyler asked, his voice a mix of concern and frustration.“They’re just for anxiety and to help me sleep,” I replied, keeping my tone even. “It should help her get some rest.”Tyler nodded, though he still seemed uncertain.“Thank you,” she whispered, looking at me now.All I could do was nod in response though as I watched Tyler take a seat beside her on the bed, holding her hand and kissing her fingers gently.Jealousy began to rise inside me, but I knew I needed to smother it immediately. I'd had this... I'd lost this... It was my own fault. Not his. Not hers. Mine. And if I had any hope of any semblance of a relationship with her, I needed to get over
