All Chapters of Her Twin Alphas: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

ELLA"Dead?" I asked with a bitter laugh.I couldn’t deny the harsh thump of my heart racing in my chest. I held my ground and met the witch’s eyes. "The only one who will be dead right now is you."The witch threw her head back and laughed. It sounded like someone was dragging a fork on porcelain. She pulled her head back and gave me a wicked grin. "Let's see you try.""Ella, run!" Sara screamed, her voice shrill with fear and panic.I stared at the witch, my face a cold mask of anger."What will it be?" She asked, both arms raised in front of me.She began to murmur an incantation, her hands glowing with a dark light. The air around us tinged with electricity, and I felt the hairs on my neck stand up.Magic.Without waiting to see what kind of spell she was spinning, I turned to Sara and began to claw at the bonds that held Sara to the tree.I felt it, a subtle vibration that spread throughout my body.I felt it when the spell hit me.My body lurched forward, and I gritted my teeth

ELLAMy foot couldn’t stop bouncing.I leaned forward in the plush armchair, my elbows planted firmly on my knees.All I could hear were the soft pings of the heart monitors, the low hum of the air conditioning, and the twins breathing in sync.According to Dr Carter, they had gotten better, and there was no need to hook them up to do many wires.When we arrived at the clinic, it had been a flurry of activity, with nurses and doctors running about and connecting tubes and wires to their bodies.They were better now, and all I wanted was for them to wake up. Dr Carter said it could be anytime soon.“Hey,” I heard Sara’s soft voice. She crouched beside me, her eyes full of concern as she gently touched my knee.“Hi,” I replied, a small smile on my lips.Sara’s arm had been bandaged. The wound was nasty, but according to Dr Carter, she wasn’t affected as much because of her al

ELLA"This should do," Dr Celia said. She raised the syringe full of blood into the air and inspected it closely."You sure you don't need more?"She laughed softly and shook her head. "No, this will do. You can go back now. The research will take quite a bit. Once it's ready, I'll give you a call."I hopped off the stool I was seated on. "Thank you."She turned to leave, then paused. "Later, will you be free for lunch with me?"I met her eyes and gave it a moment of thought. "Sure.""We can talk about your medical pursuits. Considering graduation is close by, have you been thinking much about it?""Um... honestly, I haven't." I sighed. I shoved my hands into the pockets of my jeans. With everything recently, school hadn’t been my top priority. "But I'm sure we can talk more about it over lunch.""Very well," She smiled. "Don't let me keep you waiting now."I waved goodbye and left the lab.*T

ELLAWe walked out of the lab and into the cold night.My head still reeled from all I had witnessed in that lab, and there was silence over our small party. Everyone was lost in their thoughts."I'll be staying back," Sara announced.I turned to look at her. The cold made her cheeks and nose pink. Her hands stuffed tightly into the pocket of her wooly sweater."Why?" I asked. We had planned to leave Seattle that night and return to Alaska."Your words back there moved me a lot, Ella." She said, her breath formed puffs of steam in front of her. "And I couldn't help but think about those witches who tried to take you away from us, who tried to stop that miracle we saw in there from happening.""Are you going to muscle through their covens and fight them?" Nathan asked, facing Sara."No," Sara said with a forced chuckle. "That's not what I plan to do. I will stay back for the time being and gather information about them."

ELLA"Guys!" My voice rang out through the forest. "You should come take a look at this!"It was almost noon.We had explored the forest as much as we could. I was hot and exhausted and just wanted to leave this place already, not to mention the rampant bugs."What's it?" The twins asked at once. They ran to my side, and we all stared at whatever was before me."Woah," Nathan said. "That looks....""Ancient." Tristan completed.It was a temple or a cave, I didn't know.It didn't look like a natural formation, more like something hewn from a large black stone.There was a red wooden door etched with carvings of all manner of creatures—wolves, demons, birds, and humans—all in what looked like a giant depiction of some apocalyptic event.I took a step closer. It seemed harmless enough. I turned and looked at the twins."Let's check it out," Tristan said and took the lead.We got to the door.
