All Chapters of My Twin Alpha Valentines: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

I spent most of the day with my nose buried in a book, trying to lose myself in the pages and escape the persistent thoughts swirling in my mind.Ryder had gone to do some work in his studio. It kind of felt like he was keeping himself busy as a way of avoiding me. Maybe that's not the right way to phrase it... More like he was trying to give me space and was keeping himself busy in his studio as a means of distraction.I figured it was probably for the best. Things were better between us. We were civil with one another. But sometimes when I looked at him, Bailey's laugh rang through my head. It was my painful reminder that I couldn't trust him... I couldn't forgive him and pretend it never happened. We could coexist, but I couldn't see it going much further than that.Despite my efforts to focus on the story in front of me, my mind kept drifting back to the vision from the day before. Who was the man Ryder had seen? Was he the one keeping me there, or maybe he was my rescuer? If I co

It had been almost a month since that terrifying vision where I saw myself pregnant and battered. Ryder and I had made significant progress with the visions, but spending so much time together was taking its toll on me and it was getting harder and harder to remember why I was holding a grudge against him.On weekends, I sometimes showed Tyler the progress I had made with the visions. We had a really rocky start, which was kind of my fault because I hadn't mentioned to him that when you tell yourself not to think about something, the possibility of the vision being about that thing seems to be exponentially higher. So when we found ourselves standing in his bedroom as him and Jess came barrelling in while making out. It was awkward, to say the least.He handled it really well though. As soon as he saw what was happening, he stood between me and what was going on in the vision behind him, covering my ears with his hands and just looking straight into my eyes. At first, he seemed panick

It was Friday morning, and I woke up to Tyler gently stroking my cheek."Morning," he whispered as he saw my eyes beginning to flutter open."Morning," I replied with a groggy smile."Are you ready to get up?" he asked.I groaned and said, "Five more minutes," nuzzling into him.He played with my hair as I pretended to be asleep. "You excited to get some answers today?" he asked, referring to my meeting with his tutor this morning."I’m excited but also nervous," I sighed, opening my eyes. "I really hope he can help me with some answers. That’s my biggest fear at this point, that I never understand why this is happening.""Sometimes things happen that we can’t explain," Tyler said supportively. "If that’s the case, then you need to find your own meaning in it," he encouraged me, probably wanting to prepare me for potential disappointment in the gentlest way possible.I supposed he was right, but it was still frustrating.Groaning, I got up and stretched my arms above my head. "I’m gon

I hesitated, nervous that he was going to think I was insane, but I knew I had to tell him. I'd searched for answers myself, but had come out empty handed."I... um... Well, do you know anything about werewolves and visions?" I asked, trying to sound as casual as possible.Shane looked at me curiously, his brow furrowed with deep lines. "What kind of visions?" he probed."Oh, you know... just the standard kind. Just visions of the past... the future," I went on with a shrug, still trying to sound nonchalant.He chuckled a little at that. "The 'standard' kind? In my experience, I can't really say that werewolves having visions is standard.""Um..." I looked over at Tyler nervously, but he nodded, encouraging me to go on."Who is experiencing these visions?" Shane asked, throwing me a lifeline."Me..." I said, my voice soft and filled with uncertainty.Shane looked at me apprehensively. I could see his mind working as he tried to establish whether I was being serious or not. After a mom

Tyler held me tightly as I struggled to process the bombshell that had just dropped on my life. My mother’s dismissive attitude along with her instruction to keep this revelation a secret cut me deeply, but it was the realization that my entire life had been built on a lie that truly shattered me.He rubbed my back soothingly, his warmth offering a small measure of comfort in the midst of my turmoil.“We’ll figure this out,” he repeated, his voice a steady anchor in the storm of my emotions.I pulled away slightly, looking up at him with tear-filled eyes. “I don’t even know where to start,” I admitted, feeling lost.“Well, let’s go see if Shane can tell us more about the Elysian Line,” Tyler suggested.But I wasn’t interested in that right now. Right now, all I could think about was the fact that the parents I had known my entire life were not really my parents. The life I had thought was mine wasn’t real. I was adopted. I was adopted, and Aunt Mara had known but hadn’t told me. It fe
