All Chapters of Stuck Between Two Alphas: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Leo’s POVThe world around me began to blur as I hovered over her, my hands shaking as I tried to stop the bleeding. Blood soaked through my fingers, staining my clothes and the floor beneath us. Panic surged within me, but there was nothing I could do to undo what just happened. “Ivy… please,” I whispered, my voice barely a breath. “Please, don’t leave me. I didn’t mean to—I thought…”“Leo,” she whispered, her voice barely audible.“Ivy, stay with me, I’ll get help,” I begged, pressing my hands to her wound. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t know—it wasn’t supposed to be you.”Her gaze softened, and she lifted a trembling hand to touch my face.I looked down at my blood stained hands, my clothes, and the tiled floor beneath us. My wolf howled inside me, the pain and guilt threatening to consume us both.“I’ll fix this,” I promised, my voice breaking. “I’ll fix everything. You’re gonna be okay.”But my words fell away as her eyes, those warm brown eyes that had always been my anchor, began to

Author’s POV Ivy studied Lila across the café table, her expression guarded but no longer icy. Though she hadn’t said nice words, the hardness in her features was softening. Lila bit her lip, letting a trembling sigh escape as she looked down, feigning a mix of guilt and longing. “I just… I tried to find you all those years ago when you suddenly disappeared, Aria,” Lila said softly, twisting her hands together on the table so that her drama could seem more real. “Against Mom, Dad’s and Connor’s wishes, I searched everywhere. When you went missing, it was like a piece of me disappeared too, because whether I admit it or not, you’ve always been a part of me. My twin sister. I couldn’t let it go.” Ivy shifted uneasily in her seat, her fingers toying with the edge of her coffee cup. Her silence was heavy, but Lila knew better than to rush her. “I didn’t want to believe it,” Lila continued, her voice faltering slightly. “They said you were gone, that I should move on, but I couldn’

Ivy’s POVI wasn’t sure whether to feel angry, betrayed, or just utterly exhausted. There was a dull, gnawing ache in my chest that I couldn’t shake, no matter how many times I tried to breathe through it. Watching Lila, so calm and composed, put on this act of concern, pretending to offer help when all I saw was manipulation, felt like a slap in the face.But I wasn’t going to break. I refused to let her see it. I wasn’t going to give her the satisfaction.I had thought she wouldn’t bother me again after the last time, but here she was, filling me in with her sorry stories.And Connor? What sick game are they both playing? They think I’m the same weak helpless girl?As she leaned in, her voice soft, almost too soft, I could feel the subtle pressure building in my skull. She was good—too good. Every word that left her mouth, every look she gave me, was calculated. She knew exactly what buttons to push. I could feel her fishing, prodding for a crack, and I refused to give it to her."

The air between Leo and Ivy crackled with intensity, their lips locked in a kiss that spoke of a hunger both physical and emotional. The secluded restaurant path, hidden from prying eyes, offered the perfect setting for the raw passion they shared. Ivy's hands slid through his hair, her breath quickening as she felt his warmth, but then, suddenly, the moment was broken."Leo," she murmured against his lips, trying to catch his attention.But Leo didn’t respond right away. A figure stepped into their space, clearing his throat.Ivy’s heart skipped a beat as Leo pulled away with lightning speed as soon as his driver whispered something to his hearing alone, a noticeable shift in his demeanor. His eyes, once soft and filled with affection, were now sharp, cold. The warmth that had enveloped them was gone. He sat up abruptly, causing Ivy to stagger, almost losing her balance in the process. She barely noticed, too consumed by the sudden shift in him. His face darkened, his posture rigid.

Leo’s POVI stood on Ivy's balcony, her scent wrapping around me like a drug I could never escape. My wolf stirred restlessly beneath my skin, satisfied that she was in my arms but unsettled by her resistance. She stood before me, trembling with anger, her chest rising and falling as she glared at me with those piercing eyes."I'm sorry for leaving like that," I said for the third time, but Ivy wasn’t having it. She barely glanced at me, scrolling through her phone like I didn’t exist.I didn’t mean to ditch her like that at the restaurant. But when my driver told me about someone shady lurking around my house, my instincts kicked in before I could even think.First thought? Dina. Second thought? A clueless rogue.There’s something about the glint in her eyes during our last meeting that’s been messing with my head lately. Like, she knows exactly who I am, but she’s playing dumb. And that’s way scarier than I could imagine. If she’s figured out where I live, that puts her one step clo
