All Chapters of My Twin Alpha Valentines: Chapter 291 - Chapter 300

(Ryder's POV)"Somehow, between Harlan and Dr Prince, they got it in their heads that my abilities were somehow linked to the moon. So Harlan decided it would be best that I give him a demonstration that night. Dr Prince seemed to think it was a bad idea, given that it was raining and the moon wasn't even visible," Kate went on with a small shrug, her eyes still fixed on the floor."Then Harlan asked the Doctor if there was a way to verify that what I was telling them was true. Like, if I was lying, was there any way for them to know. I had been lying, so that made me a little nervous. But then Dr Prince said there was no way that he was aware of. That's when Harlan decided to bring Jenna in. He kept saying that he was sure I'd be able to show him more if I just had the right motivation." She looked so miserable as she recounted the story and I couldn't help but feel guilty about earlier.What the fuck had I expected from her?! What was I actually thinking?! That she would just lay do

(Katelyn's POV)Everyone looked at me awkwardly, unsure of what to do.Ryder spoke first, "You mean, now? Are you... Are you sure you're ready for that?" he asked warily.I nodded. "To be honest, I kind of just want to get this over with," I admitted. "I don't want to have to relive this nightmare again," I said, meaning it. I didn't want to tell the story in bits and pieces. I didn't want to have to delve into it day after day to try and explain things. I just wanted to tell them everything I could now, and then the things I couldn't bring myself to share just yet, I could work through those when I felt ready."Um... Okay," Ryder replied. "How do you want to do this? Like one at a time?" he asked cautiously.I shook my head. "Not a fuck. I'm doing it once and then hopefully I never have to do it again. I never want to see Harlan again," I said adamantly."Okay, so..." Ryder trailed off, uncertain what to do next. "Um...""Let me try with all of you. I told Jen I'd show her anyway. If

(Katelyn's POV)Tyler and I were still laughing when Ryder walked back in, his face somewhere between amusement and discomfort. “So... uh... bad news,” he said, scratching the back of his neck with an awkward smile. “They’re in your room,” he said, fixing his gaze on me.I grimaced for a second, but then shrugged. I couldn't say it would be the first time Jenna had used my room for sex... At least this time it was with her mate. And honestly, I wasn’t about to interrupt them. I could always spend the night with one of the twins.“Of course they are,” I muttered with a sigh, shaking my head. Ryder sat back down on the couch, reclining into it with a deep sigh. He was still smiling, that lazy, content smile that seemed to have spread through the room.“I’m happy for them,” I whispered, my voice soft as I let myself reflect on what this might mean for Jenna. She’d been through so much shit with Nathan, and it was clear that after this little ordeal she wasn't completely over him. Ash wo

(Katelyn's POV)"I'm done!" I called out after saving the document, leaning in closer to the screen, my eyes scanning over it once again for any missed errors.It was the third time I'd read through it, but I still felt the need to check it again. To be absolutely sure.Writing wasn't exactly my strongest skill, and I was torn between keeping it formal, because, well, it was a letter to The Elders, or making it more casual since it was, after all, my personal testimony. I’d ended up somewhere in the middle, though I wasn’t entirely sure that I'd hit the mark.I was happy. No, wait, happy probably wasn't the right word. I guess I was satisfied. This was likely as good as it was going to get for me. I felt like I'd exposed myself in a way that made me uncomfortable. I felt vulnerable. Like I was at their mercy. Suppose I kind of was...David and Ryder walked into the room. "Where's Tyler?" I asked, peering past them, waiting for him to appear."I sent him to get some rest. He’s practica

(Katelyn’s POV)I woke slowly, feeling Ryder's warm body next to mine as my eyes fluttered open. I had missed this... I had missed just hanging out with him. I had missed his easy company.His arm was wrapped around me, holding me close, his breathing slow and steady, the gentle rise and fall of his chest making it clear he’d fallen asleep too. I lay there for a minute, savoring the comfort of being back. Being with him and with Tyler. I guess this was home and I had missed it and everything that went along with it.I glanced around the room, taking in the soft glow of the TV that cast flickering shadows on the walls. Ash and Jenna were sitting together on the other sofa, their heads close together as they watched some movie.It must have been late. The windows were dark and I saw a few stars twinkling in the night sky. The world outside felt still and quiet.I shifted slightly, trying not to wake Ryder as I snuggled closer to him, feeling so warm and content in his presence. After ev
