All Chapters of My Twin Alpha Valentines: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

(Katelyn's POV)As the vision took hold, the rain and the cold wind disappeared. The world around me turned into a nauseating swirl of heat and suffocating air.I felt the same scorching heat I had before and I thought my skin was going to melt off of my body.We landed in the vision... the same one I had had before. The one where Harlan's packlands were on fire.A satisfied smile crept across my face, but I hid it quickly, masking it with an expression of concern as I looked around at the fearsome flames that licked the sky.This time was a little different in that I wasn't experiencing the vision in first person. Instead, it was just like the memories, where all you could do was stand there and watch whatever scenario was playing out in front of you, unable to intervene. Unable to change anything. Not that I would want to in this instance.Harlan stood beside me, his face showing none of the usual smug confidence he carried. Rather, he was looking around in confusion as the smoke cu

(Tyler’s POV)The rain beat down around us relentlessly, making everything feel slow and heavy.It felt like a lifetime had passed since we’d left Medicine Bow territory, and the journey to Aspenwood had been long, grueling, and frustrating in every possible way, but we'd finally made it. We were in the Aspenwood Pack lands, but instead of relief, I only felt the growing pressure of time slipping away from us.Ryder walked ahead of me. He was quiet, his gaze searching through the dark, thick forest in hopes that we might find some sign of Kate, but the rain made it exponentially harder.Every now and then, I glanced at him, the flicker of our earlier argument still lingering in my mind. We’d been on edge the whole drive. Maybe it was the exhaustion or the helplessness of feeling like we were chasing shadows, but tempers had flared.“I don’t get how you’re so fucking calm about all this!” Ryder had snapped, his frustration reaching a peak as the sun began to set and the rain had started

(Katelyn’s POV)The snarl echoed through the rain-soaked forest, sharp and vicious, drowning out the sound of my own ragged breathing.My head snapped up, eyes wide as I caught sight of two wolves launching themselves at Harlan. They tore into him, their powerful jaws ripping at his skin while he struggled to fight them off.For a moment, I was frozen, unsure of what I was seeing.The wolves fought relentlessly, taking advantage of the fact that Harlan was still in his human form. They ripped into him with brutal efficiency, and I could hear his pained growls as he tried to fight back.I squinted through the darkness, trying to make sense of it. I couldn't see the color of their fur... Everything just looked gray in the dark. My mind immediately raced to the conclusion that it was Ryder and Tyler, but I knew it couldn't be. They didn't know where I was. It couldn't be them.As I struggled to my feet, my mind raced with questions, but the only thing on my mind now was escape. I had to g

(Katelyn's POV)The faint flicker of lights appeared up ahead, slicing through the tall trees and casting a soft, warm glow in our direction. I let out a shaky breath, the tension in my body slowly being replaced by a feeling I hadn’t truly let myself entertain for hours. Hope.Beside me, Jenna squeezed my hand, her fingers trembling as she shot me a look, her face breaking into a relieved smile.There was literal light at the end of this darkness for us... it finally felt real. Tangible.Tyler’s wolf nudged me gently from behind, his yellow eyes catching the glow from up ahead. I could sense the urgency in them. He also wanted this to be over, but he was careful. He wasn’t rushing this. Not yet.Ryder, who had been leading us, stopped abruptly, his ears twitching. He stood perfectly still, his body tense and alert. After a moment, he turned to Tyler, and with a silent nod, Tyler moved in front of me and Jenna, barring our way.The three of us watched as Ryder moved forward cautiously,

(Katelyn’s POV)We all watched as Tyler disappeared into the rain, heading toward the convenience store inside the gas station.Ryder looked irritated and frustrated, but he kept it to himself, likely taking a moment to cool down and come to terms with our shitty situation as he stared out into the rain with his jaw clenched."Where are we even gonna go?" Jenna’s voice cut through the silence, soft but heavy with worry. Her wide eyes flickered over to me, searching for an answer.I shrugged, feeling the weight of the uncertainty pressing down on me. "I dunno," I admitted. "I guess we just drive until we find somewhere that feels safe."I knew it wasn’t the best idea I'd ever put forward, but I couldn't think of a better solution.Jenna sighed, leaning back against the seat, her shoulders slumping. We all felt it... the frustration, the helplessness. But compared to where I’d been just hours ago, alone in the dark with Harlan’s hand wrapped around my throat, this situation felt almost
