Despite my breath snagging so hard that it literally hurt my lungs, I didn’t pull away.

Neither did he.

Zane’s eyes held mine, eyelids heavy, and his gaze dreamy.

My heart throbbed in my chest, a sweet warmth that somehow nibbled, like it was aching for something more than a stare.

Zane blinked, the dreamy stare fading from his eyes as he slowly straightened his back.

“Why are you still awake?” His voice raspy.

And it itched a spot in my brain.

I didn’t respond, not immediately. I lif

  • Trapped Between Two Alpha Captains   Chapter 123

    ELI..The sand burned my feet the moment I stepped onto the beach. The heat licked at my skin. I squinted, dragging my gaze across.People were already scattered across the golden ground. Some were laughing and running around. Another set were rubbing sunscreen beneath their umbrellas.I turned to Louis. “Really?” I glanced around one more time. “My room is more relaxing than this place.“This was your idea, remember?” Louis said.Louis smiled or he tried to. His lips didn’t fully curve up almost like something was stopping them from pulling all the way up.Louis walked ahead, his feet sinking into the floor.As I followed behind, my attention remained on the distance between us. It should’ve meant nothing. But day after day, every action never felt the same.We reached a spot. Louis didn’t even look at me. “Should we set out stuff here?”Awkwardly, I rubbed my hands together. “Yeah. The spot is good,” I said, even though I hated how close we were to the sea.Louis took out the umb

    ELI..The question hung in the air longer than it should have. Long enough for my brain to start filling in the gaps, to start conjuring images I didn’t want to see.My stomach lurched, a nausea rolling through me. The images hadn’t even fully formed when a pricking heat crawled up my skin.Louis' lips twitched. “It’s not what you think?”What do I think?My nose wrinkled, a crease forming on my forehead. “Then what happened?” Louis opened his mouth. “So. What happened was…”“Louis tried to seduce me,” John blurted out.The air turned cold against my skin, then hot. So hot it burned its way down my airway, up to my lungs.Louis whipped his head towards John, eyes rounding. “Don’t say it like that.”I just stood there, too still, feeling my skin burn like I had been thrown into a furnace.For a moment, I wanted to tell myself this was a bad dream that I hadn’t gotten up.Louis turned to me. “I was in heat.” His voice cracked. “I wasn’t in my right state of mind.” He looked at me

    ELI..“Time’s up.” The hall exploded into noise. Papers rustled as we handed them over to the lecturer. Someone near the front let out a victorious cheer before the invigilator shot him a warning look.The professor hadn’t even left the hall before discussing answers, arguing over them. And thanks to them, I now knew my 2B might have been the wrong answer.I shrugged it off; there was nothing I could do now.I grabbed my bag and headed out of the hall, dragging my feet against the floor.Outside the hall, my eyes fell on John. He leaned against the wall, his bag hanging over his shoulders.“I thought you’d have taken that out by now.” And as always, my voice threaded out thin.John glanced down at the bandage before shrugging.“How was your exam?” He asked.“It was alright.” I sighed. “Why are you here?” John’s brow knitted together, then a soft smile formed on his lips. “Wanted us to walk back to your hostel together.”Yeah. That’s how John has been behaving for the past week. Al

    ZANE..I turned the pill container, a pill falling onto my palms. I swallowed one without water.Dempsey’s voice came in immediately. “Are you sure you’re okay? You should probably go to the hospital.”“It’s just a fever,” I said, “I’ll be good.”Dempsey looked at me like I had gone mad. And he might not be wrong.First, I had spent two nights in his place. Which was unlike me, I always slept in my room. But the apartment had become too impossible to stay in as it felt too quiet. Quiet in a way that made me feel like it was haunted.“Are you sure?” Dempsey asked. “Because fever usually comes with a high body temp. Or at least a cold.”I dragged my eyes across the laid infront of me on his study table.“Yeah.”But I knew it wasn’t. I remembered the way they explained it when I was younger. The doctor had called it an emotional overload state response. It didn’t make sense then. It didn’t make sense until my father said it.‘If I didn’t get what I want, I feel sick.’A week had pa

    ELI..The end of exams was finally in sight. Two more papers and I could finally focus on my life that was falling apart,I was on my bed, hunched over my book, muttering the words, when the door opened.Louis stumbled into the room looking like a doctor who had just clawed his way out of the grave.His backpack slid down from his shoulder before crashing onto the ground.With enough force to make the bed creak, he threw himself onto the bed.I looked over.His eye bags were worse than mine. His lips were chapped.“When are your papers ending?” I asked him.He lifted only his head off the pillow, one eye cracking open. “Next week Tuesday. Why?”“We should do something fun,” I said, turning over to the next page of my textbook.“Something?” Both of his eyes flung open.“Mhmm.” I nodded. “Beach. Let’s go to the beach.”Louis flipped over, his back now pressing into the mattress. “The only thing I think I'll be doing after exams is waiting for my result.”“You can wait for your result

    ZANE..‘I don't want to be your friend anymore.’Glaring at the text, my brain turned the message over and over again, trying to make sense of it.I knew something was wrong the moment I woke up to an empty spot beside me. Maybe he was in the bathroom, I had told myself.But no sound came from the other side of the bathroom door.Maybe he went downstairs, I had told myself againThen my eyes landed on the sofa. The clothes Eli had worn yesterday were gone. The ones I had given him yesterday were folded in their place.A strange feeling coiled in my chest. He left for exams, but he’d probably come back. I reached for my phone, about to text him when I saw his text.I stared at the message, waiting for the rest. Waiting for a reason or even a hint of what I might’ve done wrong.But the message was sent an hour ago, and I doubted any more was coming.So my fingers moved, ready to demand answers. My mother’s words popped into my head.‘If you love someone why would you trap them in a m
