Keren’s POV

I barely slept.

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Ford standing on the staircase inside the Alpha Villa, gripping the bannister like a man trying not to drown. The look on his face haunted me far more than I wanted to admit.

The raw, devastating sorrow that had been rolling off him in the courtyard wasn't the face of someone hiding a simple lie or angry about the fight he and his brother had had.

It was the face of a man who felt utterly broken.

Deep guilt.

And somehow, that terri

    Ford quickly shook his head, his hand extending as if he wanted to reach me. Then he quickly withdrew it as if he realized he didn’t have the right to touch me again, and that confounding guilt flashed through his eyes again. "No, Keren. Never.” He muttered, his eyes locked on mine. “I do not think you are lying about a single word."I didn’t have time to think about that dumb guilt in his eyes right now. So I turned my head to Fabian.“Do you also think I’m lying?” I asked him, feeling wrung out. I had thought this whole confrontation was going to be an open-and-shut one, and then I’d finally get the last laugh. This long-ass argument wasn’t what I was expecting at all. "No, of course I would never believe her over you, baby," Fabian said immediately, his voice soft as his hand tightened around my waist as if to pull me close to his side. "The problem isn't your truth, Keren. The thing now... is that she is also telling the truth too."I froze entirely in my seat, the air turning

    Keren’s POVI knew it wasn’t the right time, but a quiet jolt of pride and joy went through my chest at the way Fabian spoke. He had said ‘our child’ without any hesitation in front of his own family member, his mind completely settled on the fact that Maverick belonged to his line just as much as he belonged to Ford's. He truly didn't care about the logistics of who had birthed him; his protective instincts had taken over completely, and he was ready to kill for my son… I mean, our son. "No!" Bree shrieked, her voice cracking as she clutched her hands against her chest like a shield. Tears and snot were running down her nose now, her makeup completely ruined as she looked between the twins. "I swear on the moon goddess or whoever you want to use! You can even take me to the official trial grounds!” She sobbed, practically shaking. “You can even test me through whatever traditional methods! I swear, I have never done such a thing like try to harm the future alpha! Never!"I stared

  • The Lycan Twins Runaway Mate   CHAPTER 56: THE WEIGHT OF THE TRUTH

    Keren’s POVMy breath felt shallow as I hurried along the stone corridor, my boots making a light, tapping sound against the granite flooring. Fabian’s large hand was flat against the small of my back, guiding me with a firm, unyielding presence that was the only thing anchoring me to the floor. I was still reeling from the absolute shock of what had just happened in the medical wing. Irene’s ultimatum had terrified me, but the moment I finally had the gall to tell Ford the truth about Bree, everything had cracked wide open.When Ford had issued that cold, authoritative command to lock Bree in a holding room for treason, a sudden, fierce hit of pure triumph had surged through my veins. It was the first time in five years I felt like I had the power to stand up and defend myself against their world. But the victory had been instantly cut short by the Council's sudden, unannounced arrival."What's up, Fabian?" I asked, looking up at his sharp jawline as we reached the heavy mahogany

  • The Lycan Twins Runaway Mate   CHAPTER 55: THE RIGHTFUL CLAIM

    Keren’s POVThe deep, gravelly voice echoed from the doorway, cutting through the frantic static of the laboratory like a solid shield.I spun around so fast my boots slipped on the tile. Fabian was standing on the threshold. He was still shirtless, his broad chest covered in the dark shadows of his training bruises, his knuckles dusted with dirt from the pits. But his green eyes weren't lazy or amused anymore; they were burning with a dark, predatory resolve that instantly filled the entire room with a heavy, unyielding warmth.Before my strategic mind could stop me, I rushed across the laboratory floor, throwing myself straight into his space. I grabbed the hard muscles of his bare forearms, looking up at his face with a desperate, wild plea. "Fabian... promise me. Promise me you're not going to give him to them. They want to take him into a lab. They want to test him. Promise me!"Fabian didn't hesitate. He reached out, his massive, warm hands wrapping securely around my waist as h

  • The Lycan Twins Runaway Mate   CHAPTER 54: THE FLAGS IN THE WIND

    Keren’s POVMy hands were still trembling, but for the first time in five years, it wasn’t from fear. It was from a sharp, dizzying hit of pure triumph.I had actually done it. I had stood in Ford’s office, looked him dead in the eyes, and told him the exact horror of what his favorite cousin had tried to do to our unborn child. And instead of defending her, instead of making his usual polite excuses about pack politics or family loyalty, Ford had broken completely. He had issued an immediate, authoritative order to lock Bree in a holding cell on grounds of pack treason.A quiet, bitter joy settled behind my ribs. Maybe I should have swallowed my pride and told him the truth a long time ago.But the victory was instantly cut short by the sudden, suffocating panic currently rolling through the territory lines. The Council had arrived. No administrative warnings, no protocol notice, just a full-scale convoy breaching the gates. And the worst part—the thing that was currently pinning eve

  • The Lycan Twins Runaway Mate   CHAPTER 53: ENEMIES WITHIN

    Fabian’s POVI shut the link down, turning my focus back to the four old men seated at the crescent table. I gripped the armrests of my chair, pulling myself forward until my shadow fell over their documents."The law is clear," I said, my voice cutting through the heavy silence of the hall like a knife. "You have no legal grounds to touch the boy. So, get the fuck out of my pack house."The head elder gasped, his face turning an explicit shade of crimson as he stood up from his chair. "You do not have the right to be that rude to this bench, Alpha Fabian! We represent the high authority of the Lycan world!""You abandoned courtesy the exact second you crossed my border without a single warning or notification," I volleyed back, my voice rising into a harsh growl. "I do not owe a single ounce of courtesy to guests who didn't show it to my house in the first place. Respect is reciprocal, old man. Don't preach to me about manners."The second Elder stood up beside his leader, his hands
