All Chapters of Tryst Of Fate: Caught Between The Alpha And Beta: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Olivia “Sissy! Oh fuck! Sissy, please!” I swear that’s Brynlee's voice I hear, her small hand shaking me lightly. “Please tell me I wasn’t too late! No, I wasn’t! I know I wasn’t! Wake up, damn it!” Adrenaline courses through my veins, my heart pounding so hard I feel like it will beat right out of my chest. My left arm stings like hell and my head feels full of cotton wool. Is this what death feels like? Brynlee pleads with me to open my eyes but I can’t. I’m not ready. I can't look at her right now, not when I have to tell her I failed her. This must be Hell because the idea of seeing her panic and fear is my worst nightmare. I work on slowing my heart rate and clearing my head, trying to remember what happened, how it all went wrong. Xavier followed me into the woods. He had a gun. He-, he shot me! But there’s something else, something my mind didn’t grasp in the moment. Everything happened so fast. The scene replays in my mind, almost in slow motion, and then it hits me. My e

Olivia When my tears finally run dry, I take a quick shower and wash my face, hoping my boys won’t notice I’ve been crying if they happen to wake up. Unable to stomach being completely alone tonight, I climb into bed between them and snuggle them close. Even with the warmth of my pups beside me, I can’t fall asleep. They cut me off, closed the bond. I can’t feel them and it leaves me feeling anxious and empty. They’d never leave me, I know that much is certain. But I hate this tension between us. I can’t let my inability to trust someone else to protect the twins and me be the thing that breaks us. We’ve come too far and overcome too much to give up now. My eyes start to sting again but I’m done crying. Instead of sulking, I need to put my mind to better use, finding a way to fix the mess I’ve made. But when my eyelids finally grow heavy with sleep, I still don’t have a solution. I wake the next morning to someone petting my hair. It takes me a moment to remember where I am. B

Declan “I’ll get her!” I jump up as soon as I hear the tiny baby fussing in the bassinet. “It’s my turn to change her diaper anyway.” “No!” Kaden whisper-shouts, all but shoving me out of the way. “You changed the last diaper. It’s my turn!” “Fine!” I can’t help but laugh at the pair we make, two grown men fighting over dirty diapers. Olivia gave birth to our beautiful daughter, Isla Eleanor Stone, late last night. She’s a little part of each of us with a shock of Kaden’s brown hair, my facial features, except for her cute button nose just like her mother’s, not to mention Olivia’s bright, jewel green eyes. She’s the most beautiful baby I’ve ever seen and I can’t seem to take my eyes off of her. Kaden and I have been on daddy duty since early this morning when Liv finally dropped off to sleep. I think we’ve been doing a pretty good job so far, other than the occasional disagreement on who gets to do what. But we missed this age with the twins so it’s been a bit of the blind lead

Olivia The steady beep of the heart monitor is both comfort and torture as I sit beside Kaden's hospital bed, one hand clutched in his while the other absently strokes Declan's arm where it wraps around my shoulders. The wolfsbane has left him pale and still, two words I never thought I'd use to describe my fierce Alpha. I felt his pain through the bond the moment he was injured, felt the agony wearing him thin as time went on. I tried to stay calm, knowing he was in a dangerous situation and a distraction could only make things worse. But when I felt his end of the bond go dark, I couldn’t stop myself from calling and demanding Declan bring him home."His fever's holding steady," Dr. Morris says, checking the IV drip. "The next few hours will be critical, but he's strong. The fact that he's fighting this hard is a good sign."I nod, not trusting my voice. Through our mate bond, I can feel Kaden's life force, usually a blazing inferno, flickering like a candle in the wind. Declan's

Declan The loss of my mate bond feels like someone has carved out half my soul. I can still sense Olivia physically, her scent, her heartbeat, but the deeper connection, that spiritual tether that's kept me anchored for the last several months is gone.But while Eden thinks she's left us helpless, she's forgotten one critical detail: my sister. She doesn’t use her power often but a witch is no match for the ancient magic she still carries. And of course, she’s already on her way when I call. I watch Kat sweep into the hospital room like an avenging angel, her Fae power crackling around her like static electricity. Behind her, my brothers-in-law, Ryan and Reegan, move to flank Kaden's bed, their mate bonds with my sister still blazing strong through the witch's interference."Status?" Kat demands, her Fae energy helping to stabilize the chaos of broken bonds around us even as her eyes assess Kaden's condition."Three locations," I report, keeping my voice steady despite the chaos erup
