Alberto's POV

I strode through the halls of the palace, my mind was a storm of unease. Sapphire was gone. No letter, no sign, nothing. It wasn’t like her. Even when she was angry with me, she never just disappeared. Something was wrong.

“Find her,” I ordered my men, my voice sharp as steel. They nodded and scattered, knowing better than to waste time.

I turned toward the main doors, intent on visiting her parents’ home. Perhaps they had heard from her. Perhaps—

“Going somewhere, Alberto?”

I stopped in my tracks, fists clenching at the sound of that voice. Gonzalo. He stood just inside the palace entrance, a smug grin stretching across his face. He always had a way of showing up at the worst times, like a vulture sensing weakness.

“I don’t have time for you, Gonzalo,” I said through gritted teeth, stepping past him.

He moved into my path, blocking me with an infuriatingly casual stance. “Looking for your runaway mate?” His smirk widened. “That must sting.”

I grabbed him by the collar,

  • Hooked Between the Alpha Twins   Chapter 11

    Alberto’s POVThe moon was high and it casted an eerie glow on the road as I rode through the marshes alone. I had lied to everyone to leave the pack house. I needed to see a witch who would help me find Sapphire. The guards believed I was heading to the northern borders for council. Fools. I had no interest in politics tonight. My soul itched with rage, and my blood burned with the need to find her. At this point, I cared less about any other thing. She ran from me. From me. And no one runs from the Alpha Supreme without consequence.I reached the base of the Hollow Hills just before midnight. The trees parted like they were making way. A faint hum hung in the air. It sounded low and ancient. I dismounted and approached the stone arch carved with runes long forgotten by my kind. She was waiting.The witch I mean.She stood by a fire that burned without smoke. Her robes were dark, her face was veiled, but I could feel her eyes.“You came alone,” she confirmed.“This stays between

    Sapphire's POVPain shot through my head like a dagger. My body seized. My throat burned as a scream tore out of me. I wasn’t awake. I wasn’t asleep. I was stuck.Flashes of the colour red clouded my eyes. After so much struggling, I could tell it was blood. It soaked the ground. Wolves howled in agony. Fire tore through trees. I tried to move, to speak, to do anything, but I couldn’t. My vision dragged me forward like it had a grip on my soul. Almost as if that was what was controlling me. Then I saw Gonzalo. He just stood there at the center of the madness, arms raised, chanting words I didn’t understand. Symbols glowed beneath his feet. Around him, wolves knelt, trembling in terror. Then, the sky cracked open. Something ancient and monstrous broke through. I could feel the power of it deep in my chest. I couldn’t breathe. Then I saw myself. But older. My stomach was rounder. And beside me stood a child. No more than six years old. Their eyes were glowing silver. The storm circl

    Sapphire’s POVThe scent of herbs and smoke lingered in the air. I sat on the edge of the cot with the blanket pulled around my shoulders, watching Elira stir something thick and green over the fire. My ankle still throbbed, but that wasn’t what kept me restless. It was Kael. Kael stood near the doorway, arms crossed, eyes locked on me like he was waiting for me to do something stupid.“Elira,” I called out softly, “your son, what did he mean by ‘not much time left’?”Elira didn’t flinch at my question. She poured the mixture into a wooden bowl and walked over. “Drink this.”“That’s not an answer.”Kael’s voice cut through the room. “Stop asking questions you’re not ready to hear answers to.” he spoke sharply. I met his eyes. “Then explain it. Why the warning? Why are you both acting like I’m about to explode?”He turned away. “You wouldn’t believe it if we told you.”“Try me.”Elira sighed and gently placed the bowl in my hand. “Drink first.”“No,” I snapped. “Not until someone te

  • Hooked Between the Alpha Twins   Chapter 7

    Sapphire's POV When I woke, the first thing I noticed was the warmth. It enveloped me, totally different from the biting cold of the forest. My eyelids felt heavy, like they had been glued shut, but I forced them open, blinking against the soft glow of firelight. I was no longer in the woods, no longer lying in the dirt. A thick woolen blanket was draped over me, and I could hear the crackling of logs in a nearby fireplace.I pushed myself up on my elbows, trying to make sense of where I was. My body ached, and a dull throb pulsed in my ankle, but it was my head that felt the worst—like someone had taken a hammer to it. The room around me was small but cozy, with rough wooden walls and a high-beamed ceiling. A few shelves lined one wall, cluttered with jars and herbs, and an old rocking chair sat in the corner.But there was no one here. I was alone. I tried to sit up fully, but the room spun violently, sending a wave of nausea through me. My hand flew to my head, and I groaned, sq

  • Hooked Between the Alpha Twins   Chapter 6

    Sapphire's POV The strange guy didn't answer my question, he just turned away like he was too scared to speak. I suddenly felt dizzy and lost my balance. The cold metal bars pressed against my back as I slumped against the side of the cage. I could feel every ridge and every rusted spot digging into my spine, the weight of exhaustion pulling me down. Around me, the other captives shifted and murmured, their voices were low and afraid. I didn't recognize most of themThey were all strangers with dirt-smeared faces and hollowed eyes. We were all in the same hell now, trapped together like animals waiting for slaughter.The air inside the cage was thick with the stench of fear and sweat. I tried to focus on breathing, slow and steady, but each inhale felt like dragging a knife across my throat. My hands rested on my belly, and I could feel the slight swell beneath my fingertips. The only thing keeping me tethered to myself. I whispered silent prayers for my unborn child, for strength
