All Chapters of My Twin Alpha Valentines: Chapter 331 - Chapter 340

(Katelyn's POV)I paced back and forth, my bare feet padding quietly against the hardwood floor. Two hours. That was all I had left of this quiet before the storm.The thought made me scoff at myself. 'Quiet'... Yeah, sure, the house was quiet, but my mind was in a state of absolute chaos. The world around me was still, but inside, my thoughts were a tumultuous mess and no matter what I tried to do, I couldn't calm them.It felt like I was waiting for my execution. Like every minute that ticked by brought me one step closer to my doom.I'd tried to talk myself out of it... I'd tried to consider the possibility that maybe they would be really nice. I'd told myself that The Elders were still just people at the end of the day. I'd told myself that I hadn't actually done anything wrong. I reminded myself that Harlan was the one who had abducted me and I was actually the victim in all of this, but still, while I knew that it was all true, it still felt like it was somehow my fault. Like I

(Tyler's POV)“Why don’t you call your aunt?” I suggested, hoping maybe a familiar voice might help soothe her. “Or maybe even Jenna? See how her and Ash are doing, though I'm sure we can all guess how that’s going...” I teased, knowing that if the last time we saw them was anything to go by, they probably hadn't moved from Ash's room, let alone house.Kate looked up, her brows knitting together in thought. “Maybe,” she finally said, though she didn’t sound convinced. She glanced over at me, and I could tell she was still wrestling with a million different anxieties in her mind. "Do you have my phone?" she asked softly.“Shit…” I cursed, feeling stupid. “Yes, I do. Sorry. I meant to give it back to you. Things have just been... a little crazy, I guess. Hang on.” I said, hurrying out toward my bedroom to get it for her.I'd turned it off, but made sure it was charged for when she came back, so she would be able to use it immediately. I was glad I'd thought ahead because it really felt

(Katelyn's POV)Tyler held up a couple of shirts against his chest, one a purplish blue and the other a crisp white. "Which one?" he asked, giving me a questioning look."That one," I said, pointing to the blue one. I felt like it suited him better and I'm obviously a sucker for purple.Smiling, he nodded in agreement and slipped the shirt on.I tried to steady my breathing, to keep the anxiety at bay. But the thoughts kept creeping in, thoughts of questions I wouldn’t know how to answer, or worse, questions I hadn’t even thought to consider.I had to make a good first impression. I couldn’t let them see my fear, couldn’t let them doubt me. And I had to remind myself, over and over, that I wasn’t lying to them. I hadn’t done anything wrong. All I had to do was be honest and hold it together.Tyler’s voice broke through my thoughts, pulling me back to the present. “Kate, it’s going to be okay,” he said, as if sensing my spiraling thoughts. “We’ll all be right there with you. Just... be

(Katelyn's POV)I wrapped my arm around Tyler’s waist, holding him close as I glanced up at him. “It was a long time coming,” I replied, my tone steady as I gave Tyler a sweet smile.I wasn’t going to let Simon sow any seeds of doubt in anyone's mind. Sure, I had maybe dragged it out a bit and taken my time, but it was complicated and I wanted to be sure. I had two mates! This wasn't exactly standard!Just then, Ryder returned, handing Tyler a drink and taking a sip of his own. I looked at him, raising an eyebrow as if to silently ask, “Where’s mine?” Ryder raised his eyebrows right back, feigning innocence as he leaned in closer.“How old are you again?” he teased, his voice low. I scoffed, firing right back at him without missing a beat. “How old are YOU?” “Old enough,” he replied, a mischievous smirk on his lips as he took another sip of his drink, clearly taunting me. Leaning even closer, he whispered in my ear, “Not a fuck I’m doing this sober. But you’re doing great,” he added

(Katelyn's POV)The Elders had left for the evening and David, Liz, Tyler, Ryder, and I retreated back into the upstairs lounge, reflecting on the evening.It hadn't gone great, but to be perfectly honest, I had anticipated that it might have been worse.Ryder didn't seem to be in agreement though, which I suppose was fair, based on the fact that Simon seemed to have honed onto him as his target for most of the evening.His anger exploded the second he stormed into the room after the guests had left. He’d been containing it since the moment Simon had probed him about his position in the pack, but now he let it loose in full force.“How fucking DARE he! He acts like he’s entitled to pry into every fucking detail of our lives, like we’re some kind of science experiment or something! Who the fuck does he think he is?” Ryder spat, pacing the room furiously.I stood nearby, wanting to comfort him, but also wanting to give him a moment to express himself and get it all out.I couldn’t blame
