All Chapters of The Alpha Twins' Possession: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Rosalind's POVI paced my room. I just came out of the shower, to wash off my arousal so as to prevent triggering any violence when I went to see Cillian.The look in his eyes as he left my room deeply bothered me and I wouldn't feel good until we had gotten a chance to speak to each other. I heard a knock on my door and I hurried to it. The maud I had sent to check if the council was still in session stood outside. "Are they done?" I asked her. She bowed and nodded. "Yes Princess, Prince Cillian is in his bedchamber currently.""Thank you. You may leave."I checked my reflection in the mirror one more time before heading away towards his room. As I approached the door, I heard the sound 9f raised voices making me to pause midstep. I wasn't the people I was expecting who were arguing. From the sounds of it, it was Adelyn versus Cillian. "Why are you doing this to me, Cillian?" Adelyn sounded frustrated and in pain, her voice thick with either annoyance or tears or both. Cillia

Rosalind's POVWhen I woke up much later, Killian was gone. I wasn't surprised. He no doubt wanted to put some distance between us after the surprising intimacy of our time together. That was just, it suited me just fine that I didn't have him in my room, so no one would know when I snuck out for certain clandestine operations. I knew that after the so-called attacks, I should have been laid off from going back but I found myself getting more angry the more I thought about it. How dare they do that to me?How dare they make me trust them and then betray me so thoroughly like this? I had to go back. I had to at least attempt to have a civilized conversation with them to understand where this was coming from. I snuck back out and River was there just in time, his face more unbearable than usual but I couldn't tell at him there was where all the guards could come back on duty at any time and reported me for consorting with the enemy so I kept my mouth shut as River reached out to me

Rosalind's POVI must have lost it. Because if I hadn't there was no way I would think to talk to a council member like that. I wondered if this was how it began. The arrogance that Adelyn wore like a cloak. Was I slowly turning into one of them even though I felt that I had been right in defending myself? I didn't know and I suspected that I might never. At least not in time to do anything about it. And I had been unable to take the book out to crown it all. I wondered if he would go through the book that a worthless person like me has been going through or if my words would have driven him to anger as he walked out. I was so consumed with my thoughts that I lost touch with my surroundings and someone suddenly pulled me into their arms and I looked up to see Cillian. My eyes widened in surprise."Cillian?"His name had barely left my mouth when his lips came down on mine and he kissed me so soundly that I forgot we were in the hallway where anyone could see us. He pulled away l

Rosalind's POVRiver took me to our training spot but once we landed, he didn't let go of me immediately and it took everything in me not to cringe away from his touch when I recalled how he had placed that dagger to my throat so effortlessly. Would we ever get back to where we had been in our friendship prior to that?I had no idea but I desperately wanted to know. River's dark eyes noticed my stiffness, now that I thought of it that was the only reason he would hold me so close. He let go of me, his voice unbearably formal. "What do you want to know?"I swallowed around the lump in my throat. "Was our friendship real or did Estella just make you do it?"It seemed that I had surprised River for the second time that night. "I thought that you would be more focused on magical questions. I blushed slightly. For all my 'lack of interest' in magic, I was itching at the bit to try it out again but there were things more important than that. Like friendships. Or at least I hoped tha

Rosalind's POVI had been wrong about what I said about them becoming less vicious. It was almost as though she had gotten more angry at the fact that I thought to dismiss the noble ladies. I had only done so because I didn't want them watching her and Aunt Celia fighting themselves and throwing underhanded comments at each other.What again had she said? That women like me were unworthy to become Killian's mate, that the only thing we were suited for would be warming his bed. Anger filled me up from the inside. Maybe because even now, the only thing that Killian and I shared was a physical relationship. Something he had done out of his way to enforce this morning. I had been the one to put down the rule the first time we were together but now it rubbed me wrong.I would forever love Cillian but I wondered if his softening in my heart meant something else other than what I had seen it as before. I blinked away the tears that sprung into my eyes."Women like me." When she said
