The examination room remained sealed behind a wall of glass.

I stood outside, my eyes fixed on my mother.

A doctor adjusted the monitors beside her bed while another recorded something on a tablet. One of the physicians reviewed a chart before speaking quietly to the rest of the team.

Immediately a senior oncologist stepped into the hallway, I approached him.

“How is she? Is there any improvement?”

The doctor shifted his weight from one leg to another and adjusted his stethoscope all

  • Trapped Between Two Alpha Captains   Chapter 189

    ZANE..The moment my eyes locked with Eli, my breath caught in my throat.He wasn’t alone. Ethan. The guy who was “just a friend.” The guy who was meant to be “nothing.” Yet there he was, standing close to Eli in ways I wasn’t allowed to.My gaze dragged back and forth between them, a sharp cold clawing at my chest.Eli had barely looked at me for barely a heartbeat before lowering his eyes and walking away.Without thinking, I took a step forward. I was ready to chase, ready to ruin whatever stupid agreement that hung over us, when Amara’s fingers hooked around my arm.“What are you doing?” She muttered.My eyes lingered on Eli until he disappeared into the pool of people with Ethan.Only then did I face her. “Thank you.”She said nothing, but held me with her narrow gaze.Then she said, “Get a grip. We have a show to put on.”I nodded, yet my eyes slid back into the crowd, searching for the hint of his brown hair.“Zane.”Uncle Silas tore through the low mutters that filled the

    ELI...Two weeks passed.Long enough for lectures to settle back into a routine, for the campus to feel ordinary again, for the ache of missing someone to stop feeling temporary.Since we’d agreed to keep our distance, I hadn’t seen Zane once.Not on campus or outside my dorm.The only thing connecting us had been the occasional message.How are you?How’s the baby?Don’t forget your appointment tomorrow.They were brief.As though we were both afraid that saying too much would make keeping our promise impossible. Some days, I’d unlock my phone without thinking and open our conversation, and my fingers would hover above the keyboard.I’d start typing. Then stop and delete everything and lock the screen.I kept telling myself it was for the best. After I finished my market analysis report, I mailed it to my supervisor.Shortly after that, I joined our scheduled video meeting with the head of my internship team. “Hello! Welcome.”Our team’s head greeted me as soon as I popped into t

    Zane..My mother had told me to cut ties with Eli. It was logical. Necessary. Yet somehow, almost impossible.The city blurred past me, buildings rising and disappearing. But I barely noticed it. Barely noticed how my mother who was sitting beside me, legs crossed glanced at me.My thumbs hovered over my screen, my attention on the blinking cursor inside the text box.Hello.Once sending it would’ve taken less than a second—would’ve barely cost a thought.But my thumbs refused to move. Five letters shouldn’t have been dangerous to send. Not none when my father was monitoring me. Not when a text from Eli would make my legs move until I’m standing before him, and pulling him into me.“Are you fine?” My mother asked.“Am I supposed to be?” I locked my phone screen before making it disappear into my pocket.My mother didn’t answer. She just stared at my pocket before dragging her gaze back to the city outside the car.When the car came to a halt in front of a building. A hospital.Aft

    ELI...Louis handed his phone to me.And a clearer photo of the intruder— a face that somewhat looked familiar—filled my phone.Glaring at the screen, I tried to pinpoint where exactly I had seen the boy from. “Does he look familiar?” Louis asked.I raised a finger without meaning to, before sitting at the edge of the bed.And then it clicked! I remembered seeing this boy around campus. He wasn’t a close acquaintance or anything. I had seen him a few times around the sports complex. Sometimes, he’d come near the natatorium but that was it. I wasn’t completely sure which sport he played. Maybe basketball? Or tennis?Either way, I’ve never spoken to or had a conversation with him. “I know him…I’ve seen him around campus but we’ve never talked. I don’t even think he’s an Omega. Maybe a beta.”Louis’ face squeezed. “Then why would he break into your room?”“I have no idea…we’ve never even said hello.”His confusion deepened. “So why would someone you’ve barely met break into your

    ELI . . As if the person could hear me, I lowered my voice into a whisper. “Expecting someone?” Zane shook his head, “Only Dempsey but he wouldn’t ring the bell.” He wiped his face and helped me up. “Stay here, I’ll be right back.” He left the bedroom, his footsteps fading grew fainter as he moved downstairs. And once again, the room went silent. I waited. At first, I didn’t think much of it. A minute passed. Then another. I glanced toward the bedroom door. Still nothing.No footsteps. No sign that Zane was coming back upstairs. The silence stretched through the room, making every second seem longer than the last, making my heart jitter. He’d told me to stay here. The words replayed in my head, sounding more and more like a warning. Yet, my attention refused to leave the door—the doorknob. What was taking so long? I remained seated for another few seconds, trying to convince myself to listen to him. But I failed. With a quiet sigh, I slipped off my shoes and left

    ELI..I heard the door open just as I finished organizing the paint tubes on my desk.“Finally.”I looked over my shoulder.Louis stepped into the room with a bag slung over one shoulder. He nudged the door shut with his foot and let out a tired sigh before dropping the bag onto his bed.“Miss me already?” he asked with a grin.I tried to smile, but my lips barely formed a curve.“You okay?”“I need you to look at something.”The smile slowly disappeared from his face.“What happened?”Instead of answering, I unlocked my phone.I showed him my phone, the footage of the figure filling my screen.A crease formed between his eyebrows as he studied the footage. “…that doesn’t look like John.”“Yeah. It’s not him.”Louis dragged the video back and watched the blurry figure before facing me. “Do you know him? Have you ever seen him before? Maybe around campus…the pool? Anywhere?” Louis asked.I stared at the video, my eyes narrowed as I tried to place the face. “I really can’t tell, th
