The Alpha Twins Plaything Chapter 196 — Side By Side
AURORAThe attack began just after dawn.I woke to the sound of horns echoing through the fortress.For a second, I didn’t know where I was. Then reality came rushing back all at once. The fortress. The army. The war that had been marching toward us for days.Someone pounded on my door before I could even sit up properly.“Aurora!”It was Darius.I was already moving before he called my name a second time.The moment I opened the door, I found him standing there fully armed. Draven stood beside him, his expression grim enough to tell me everything I needed to know.“They’re here,” Draven said.My stomach tightened immediately.Neither man waited for a response. We moved through the corridor together, joining the flood of warriors rushing toward the fortress walls.The atmosphere was completely different from the night before.The nervous anticipation was gone.This was real now.Warriors shouted orders as they ran through the halls. Messengers carried reports from one section of the f
The Alpha Twins Plaything Chapter 195 — The Things We Don’t Say
AURORAI should have gone to sleep after that.The sensible thing would’ve been to leave the balcony, find my room, and get whatever rest I could before the battle that was waiting for us at sunrise.Unfortunately, nothing about my life had been sensible for a very long time.The three of us remained on the balcony long after the conversation ended. Below us, the fortress continued preparing for war.Warriors crossed the courtyards carrying weapons and supplies while scouts arrived through the gates with fresh reports from the border.Every few minutes, another horn sounded somewhere in the distance.The enemy was getting closer. Everyone knew it. Nobody wanted to talk about it; maybe that was why none of us moved.The approaching war sat between us like an uninvited guest, and ignoring it felt easier than acknowledging what it might take away.Darius eventually leaned back against the stone railing and tilted his head toward the sky.“You know what’s annoying?”Draven immediately sig
The Alpha Twins Plaything Chapter 194 — The Night Before War
AURORAThe fortress never truly slept.Long after midnight, warriors were still moving through the courtyards carrying weapons, supplies, and messages. Torches burned along the walls, illuminating the constant flow of activity below. Every few minutes, another patrol arrived through the gates while another departed into the darkness beyond the territories.The army approaching us hadn’t arrived yet, but everyone could feel its presence.It lingered over the fortress like an approaching storm.I stood on one of the upper balconies overlooking the grounds and watched the preparations unfold beneath me. The sight should have reassured me. Hundreds of warriors were preparing for battle. Defenses were being reinforced. Scouts were returning with reports. Every person inside the fortress seemed focused on surviving what was coming.Instead, all I felt was guilt.The army marching toward us wasn’t here for territory.It wasn’t here for Malrik.It wasn’t even here for the fortress.It was com
The Alpha Twins Plaything Chapter 193 — The First Strike
AURORANobody moved for a long time after Malrik finished speaking.The courtyard remained crowded, but the tension had changed. The hostility that had existed when we first arrived was gone, replaced by something much more complicated.Understanding but not completely, and not forgiveness either. Just enough truth to make hatred difficult. I looked at my mother.She stood several feet away from Lucien, tears still shining in her eyes, but she wasn’t trying to approach him anymore.Maybe she finally understood that twenty years of pain couldn’t be fixed in a single conversation.Maybe Lucien understood it too.Because despite everything that had been revealed, he hadn’t walked away.He hadn’t shouted.He hadn’t demanded answers that no longer existed.Instead, he stood there silently staring at the woman who had spent two decades regretting a choice she could never take back.The sight hurt in a way I couldn’t explain.For most of my life, I had imagined finding my mother.I had imag
The Alpha Twins Plaything Chapter 192 — The Truth Is Revealed
AURORANobody spoke after Malrik’s last words.Not because the courtyard had fallen into one of those dramatic silences people liked to talk about. The truth was simpler than that.Everyone was waiting for him to finish.For the first time since arriving at his fortress, nobody cared about the territories he had conquered or the warriors standing around us.Nobody cared about the armies gathering beyond the borders.They wanted the same thing I did.The truth.The actual truth.Not another prophecy.Not another riddle.Not another secret buried beneath five more secrets.Just the truth.I folded my arms and looked directly at him.“Then stop talking around it.”My patience had completely run out.“You were there. You knew my mother. You knew Lucien. You knew about the Bloodline before anyone else. Fine. Great. Now explain why.”Malrik studied me for a moment before letting out a slow breath.For the first time since I’d met him, he looked tired.Not physically tired.The kind of tired
The Alpha Twins Plaything Chapter 191 — The Truth About That Night
AURORAThe courtyard remained silent after Malrik’s revelation, but it wasn’t the same kind of silence as before.Earlier, people had been shocked.Now they were trying to make sense of what they were hearing.I knew I was.For years, the story had been simple. My mother abandoned her life, disappeared into the Hollow Lands, and left everything behind. It wasn’t a pleasant story, but at least it made sense.Now every version of that story seemed to be falling apart.I looked at my mother and found her staring at the ground.She wasn’t arguing with Malrik.She wasn’t denying anything he had said.That alone told me enough.“What really happened?” I asked.My voice sounded calmer than I felt.My mother closed her eyes briefly before looking at me. There was a defeated look in her expression that hadn’t been there before, as though she was finally realizing she couldn’t avoid this conversation anymore.“The council decided Lucien was too dangerous to live.”No one reacted.Not because th
The Alpha Twins Plaything Chapter 50 — A New Note
AURORAAfter Draven left a knock sounded on my door again. I scowled and refused to open it. That was when a piece of paper fluttered into my room. I recognized it and raced to the door, yanking it open with force. I looked around the hallway and the entire corridor but not one soul was in sight.

DARIUSThe alarm bell rang through the halls like a warning from hell.I pushed Luna off me. She had been trying unsuccessfully to get me to touch her but I just lay on the bed as she sucked me off. The moment she straddled me, the bell went off, and I silently heaved a sigh of relief. Ever since

DRAVENI paced around restlessly in the meeting room. Everyone had probably gone to bed but I couldn't stop thinking about a certain vixen who wouldn't stop bugging my mind. The familiar scent of two she-wolves reached me before they opened the door and stepped inside. I turned to see Lyra and Sel

DRAVENI couldn't sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Rory on her knees with tears on her face and that damn bruise on her knees.I had seen punishment before. I’d punished people myself. But the sight of her like that… It made something in me go cold.Luna had no right. I didn't care that sh
