_Astrid’s POV_

The smell of lavender swirled lightly through the room, wafting into my nostrils.

Somewhere close by, birds chirped like the world hadn’t collapsed around me.

My eyelids fluttered open with much difficulty than ever and a groan tore from my throat.

Light poured in through the beige curtains, and the first thing I noticed was the pain, still dull, still there, but not as harsh as I remembered. My throat was dry, my body sore, but somehow, I was… alive.

How was that possible?

A jumbled memory of mine brought back the menacing way that guard had shoved silver down my throat forcefully, wanting to end my miserable life for me.

But somehow, I managed to survive.

Just when I turned my head slightly to the side, I realized I wasn't alone in the white room.

I caught sight of her.

The she-wolf with wild, curly brown hair tied back in a messy bun. Her skin was warm-toned, her eyes wide and shining with disbelief and hope as they locked on mine.

“Astrid?” she breathed.

I blinked

  • Twins’ Obsession   Chapter 26

    _Astrid’s POV_It had been a week since I woke up in this gilded prison.A week since Zarek and Zade pulled me from the brink of death… and left me to rot all over again.Lady Cassia made sure of that.Each day bled into the next, an endless cycle of servitude and scorn. Yes, I was their personal maid, but Cassia took immense pleasure in reminding me of it—loudly, publicly, and cruelly.Ever since Zarek and Zade had asked her to give them sometime while they come to a conclusion of their next course of action towards getting a Luna. She had refused to leave the Obsidian Fang Pack.I hated her so much. The way she walked, talked and carried herself.Yes, she was a Lycan, but she acted like she was the moon goddess herself.She tossed her gowns at me, made me scrub her floors twice just to watch me crawl, and once, when I was too slow to clean her muddy shoes, she ground them into the rug and made me scrub that too—with a toothbrush.Zarek and Zade had approved of it when she complaine

    _Astrid’s POV_The silence that followed the slap was louder than the sound of the laughter had ever been.My cheek stung. Not just from the impact, but from the deep humiliation I was feeling.From the way Cassia looked at me like I was something she scraped off her shoe. From the way no one said a damn word.Not even Zade, nor Zarek.I didn’t cry, even though the tears was clouding my features. Not this time. I just stood there, gripping the silver tray until my fingers ached.“I’m so sorry, Lady Cassia,” I murmured, my voice hollow. This was the least I could do before everyone.“Oh, you will be,” she spat. “This is pure silk from Marathen. You just ruined it, you dumb bitch!” She raised her voice because she knew the twins wouldn't do anything to stop her.Her dress wasn’t even that soaked. Just a little splash. But to her, it was a reason to unleash everything she’d been holding back. This woman hated me for no reason.She stood up sharply from her seat and ordered in a harsh vo

  • Twins’ Obsession   Chapter 28

    _Astrid’s POV_I woke up with the taste of salt still on my lips.My eyes burned, lashes slogged together from the tears I hadn’t bothered to wipe away the previous day.My little room was quiet now, Oriana must’ve left sometime during the night. She always did, before Esme made her wicked rounds each day.I sat up slowly, feeling like every bone in my body had aged ten years overnight. My cheek still throbbed, very tender to the touch. The bruise was probably darker now.But there was no time to check.I had work to do.Even if my soul was crawling toward the edge.I needed to serve the Alphas, even though I hated seeing Zarek. Both of them. Three of them!Thankfully, Gideon wasn't always around for breakfast. I hated him because Oriana told me he was the one who suggested that Lady Cassia come to the pack and take care of the mess the Alphas made.And now I also have to see her today. With a heavy sigh, I went about my personal hygiene and when I was done, I got dressed.I dreaded

    Zade’s breath was uneven.His hand was still in Astrid’s hair, fingers tangled in the strands he’d pulled moments before. His lips had already ghosted her skin, inching dangerously close to her mouth, too close to her lips. She should’ve been terrified, should’ve recoiled like she always did when a man so much as brushed her arm.But she wasn’t. She didn’t even flinch. Her breath got caught in her throat and her heart thundered, but her body or brain didn’t scream at her to push him away and run. Not even when his nose touched hers or when his lips hovered over hers like a threat.She didn't even recognize the look in his eyes because she felt a sudden warmth spread across her chest as she sucked on her bare neck.And just as something unspeakable was about to happen….BANG!The door flew open, slamming against the wall so hard the echo rattled her spine.Astrid gasped in shock, eyes wide and body frozen in Zade’s grip.But Zade himself didn’t move. Hell, he didn’t even flinch.Like

  • Twins’ Obsession   Chapter 30

    _Astrid’s POV_Alpha Zarek’s free hand slides up the collar of my maid’s outfit, subtly brushing his fingers against the skin of my breastbone as he sucked on my lower lips. I shuddered, my lips parting even more for him as I attempted and failed to subdue my reaction.If anyone had told me of a moment like this in the past, and that too with someone who has all power and control over me, I would never have believed them.Alpha Zarek of the Obsidian Fang Pack, the biggest werewolf pack in the city and wherever kissed me. This happened to be my first kiss, the one with Alpha Valerian wasn't even supposed to be considered anything but a kiss. Just the thought of it repulsed me to my bones.A growl left Zarek’s lips as he reached for my chest, his palm cupping one of my breasts in his hand, giving it a gentle squeeze and earning a loud cry of something I couldn't quite place my hands on. This was the first ever time I sounded this way, and it sent a shiver down my spine.What the hell w

    Zarek didn’t move at first.His chest rose and fell slowly as he stared at Astrid, still lying against the edge of his office table, her lips slightly parted and her cheeks flushed. His hands were still resting on either side of her, caging her in like a man who didn’t want to let go. But then….Knock. Knock.The sound made both of them freeze. Astrid sat up straighter quickly and tried to pull her dress into place.Zarek exhaled sharply and stepped back from her. His face was unreadable again. Cold and serious, like nothing had just happened. Like he hadn’t just had his hands on her, or whispered things that made her entire body heat up.“Cover up,” he said in a low tone, not even looking at her. “And stay right there.”Astrid swallowed hard and nodded. She felt embarrassed all of a sudden, even though a part of her didn’t want him to walk away.She wasn’t even supposed to like it at all.Zarek turned and walked to the door. He didn’t open it all the way, just cracked it enough to pe

    Zarek slammed the car door shut the moment they arrived back at the pack house. His jaw was tight, and his brows were drawn together in a way that made him look even more dangerous than usual. Gideon stepped out behind him, not saying a word, but his expression wasn’t any better.They had just returned from the pack’s factory, where everything had gone to hell.A shipment that was supposed to leave tonight was missing, completely. The guards had been knocked out cold, and the warehouse had been ransacked. Whoever did it was good, too good. They didn’t leave any real trace, just a few broken crates and the pungent smell of fresh blood in the atmosphere.Zarek stormed into the mansion and headed straight to his office. He didn’t even greet anyone on the way in. Gideon followed close behind, still quiet.Once inside the office, Zarek collapsed into the chair behind his desk, running a hand through his hair. He was frustrated. No, more than that. He was pissed.“What the hell is going on?

    Zarek didn’t say anything. He just let Astrid’s fingers keep moving slowly over his shoulders. The tension in his muscles had started to melt away, and even his wolf had gone quiet for the first time in days. It felt… nice and calming.She was good at this.Astrid didn’t speak either. She kept her head low, focusing on the way his muscles moved under her hands. She didn’t know why she was doing this. Maybe because he looked so tired. Or maybe it was something else she didn’t want to admit.“You’re good at this,” Zarek finally said, his voice low as he broke the silence.She blinked. “I… I used to do it for my father sometimes,” she muttered under her breath, wondering why she even thought of her wicked father now.That man didn't deserve to be in anyone's line of thought or memory.Zarek hummed quietly, then tilted his head back a little. “So tell me,” he said after a short pause, “why did you run away that day? The day Valerian caught you. You clearly told me you were willing to stay

    The ballroom shone in black and red, filled with the finest of werewolf royalty. This was no ordinary event, it was the official masquerade ball held by the Elder Council. A rare occasion where all Alphas gathered not to battle, but to make peace.Zarek stood stiffly near the edge of the crowd, his mask barely covering the annoyed twitch of his jaw. Beside him, Zade remained calm, as always, though his eyes scanned the room with a calculating edge.Tonight, they were not here as warriors or rulers. They were here to apologize.Formally.It was the Council’s condition. If they wanted to be considered for the Gehman title, they had to win back the trust of the Alphas they had recently clashed with, either through bloodshed or cold disrespect.Zarek hated every second of it.He downed his champagne in one gulp and muttered, “This is a damn circus.”Zade smirked under his mask. “Play nice.”Before Zarek could respond, a voice rang out from behind them.“There they are!

  • Twins’ Obsession   Chapter 64

    _Astrid’s POV_I couldn’t remember how long I had been here.Days? Weeks? Time didn’t make much sense in this place. Valerian’s home, or prison, if I’m being honest, was cold, both in feeling and in spirit. The windows were large, but they didn’t open. The guards outside my door didn’t speak. And the silence that filled the halls screamed louder than any cry I’d ever let out.At first, I tried to stay strong. I told myself the twins would come. That Zarek, with his sharp tongue and wild temper, would burst through the door. That Zade would hold my hand again and quietly promise me that everything would be okay.But nothing came. I didn't know if they would ever come either, considering the letter I left on the table in the kitchen. The one Valerian had made me write. He had held me at gunpoint and made me scribble down the letter with shaky hands.And the worst part? Gideon had a hand in all these. It turns out that Valerian wanted me, Gideon wanted me to leave the twins. The best

    _Zarek’s POV_“I didn’t understand back then. I was scared.” Cassia explained for the hundred and fourteenth time after cleaning my wounds.Zade sat there and watched her like she grew a second head or something.Cassia wouldn't stop begging us to take her back, that she was a changed person. But I would rather eat glass than believe she changed her foolish ways.“Cassia, just give up," I told her and ran a hand through my hair."Never! I'm not lying to you, I love you both! My brother… he’s made me see things differently. He’ll be here tomorrow, he just wants to talk.”I raised a brow at that last one. “Your brother?”She nodded. “Yes. Caelen is coming.” Yes, he shared the same name as Zade's wolf.Great. Just what I needed. Another high-ranking wolf in this fucking circus. “Alright, you can stay here for today, after the meeting with him by tomorrow, you’d leave with him.” I sighed and slowly stood up. I needed sleep, to let Creighton recharge a bit.Cassia tried to follow me, but

    _Zarek’s POV_Blood. Fucking silver blood.It soaked through my shirt and burned like hell, and still I was standing, barely. Zade helped me to the car while I clenched my teeth so hard I thought they’d crack. The warehouse reeked of blood, death, and betrayal. We had wiped out every damn wolf who turned on us. Every single one.Except for that motherfucker Veyric. He ran like the coward he’s always been. Next time I see him, I’ll bury my claws in his damn throat.“Drive,” I growled, slumping into the back seat as Zade climbed in beside me. My whole body throbbed, but I didn’t care. Not yet.The second I opened my eyes to see who was in the driver's seat, my face fell. I saw Gideon, the same one who was supposed to be guarding Astrid. He was waiting in the car, blood splattered across his shirt but unharmed. Too fucking clean for a guy who was supposed to be protecting Astrid.“What the hell are you doing here, Gideon? Where is she?” I snapped, my voice cold.Gideon shifted in his sea

    Gunshots and the sound of tearing filled the air.Zarek and Zade were covered in the blood of the men before them.When Zarek saw a van filled with more men arrive, he cursed under his breath and turned to Gideon. Now things have become horrible.“Fuck, Astrid, go!” Zarek’s voice was rough and wild, the sound of it filled with more command than fear. “Gideon, take her!”Astrid was frozen in place, her legs unwilling to move, even as her heart thundered in her chest. She didn’t want to leave. Not now. Not when the world was tilting sideways around her. Not when Zade and Zarek were already charging into a fight they didn’t start. What if something happened to them?Even in the middle of trying to survive, they only thought about her.“Zarek—” She called, her lips trembling and her voice cracking.That was when the shot rang out.It happened so fast, that she barely saw it. A flash of metal. A bang and a choked sound.Zarek stumbled slightly as the bullet hit him in the arm, blood bloomi

  • Twins’ Obsession   Chapter 60

    Zarek glared daggers as realization dawned on him. The man they were doing business with—Veyric—stood just a few steps away, a silver-plated gun aimed straight at Zarek’s chest. Behind him, three more of his men raised their weapons, pointing them at Zade, Gideon, and Astrid.Zarek’s jaw clenched. “What the hell is the meaning of this, Veyric?”Truth be told, the twins hadn't seen this coming.Yes, they knew there would definitely be an attack during the receiving of the packages, but he never once suspected that the one person they should be wary of was the main trader.The one who was supposed to hand everything over to them.Goddess, they had blindly trusted him.Zarek felt his anger boil over in his chest at the betrayal.Veyric smirked. His eyes shined faintly with a cold kind of pride. “Bold of you to think we’d give you this shipment for just that little money.”“If you wanted more,” Zarek said slowly, keeping his voice steady, “you could’ve said so. We’d have given you more. Y

    _Astrid’s POV_I should’ve stayed behind.That thought circled my head like a hawk as I sat stiffly in the back of the dark SUV. The leather seats were cold, but not as cold as my nerves. My palms were sweating, even though I kept them hidden inside my dress. The same dress I thought made me look badass when I left the pack house. Now, I just felt small.Zarek and Zade sat in front. Zade was behind the wheel, his face carved in stone like always, and Zarek was next to him, drumming his fingers on the dashboard to some beat only he could hear. Occasionally, they exchanged quick looks and short words I couldn’t hear over the engine. They were calm. Well, maybe this mission wasn't a deadly one. But I still couldn't help feeling fear crawl up my skin.I heard from my father one time of how he had gone to receive a shipment with a few people too, and a brutal war broke out. In a war that killed almost hundreds of people, he happened to be among the survivors. And I knew it was the same for

    _Astrid’s POV_“Here you go," Ori handed me the glass of water and I swallowed the pills in my hand.Once done, I handed it back to her with a grateful smile. “Thank you so much, Ori."“You're welcome. But I have to ask, for how long do you plan to take these human pills?" She asked, her gaze lingering on my face.“For as long as possible. Since I chose to stay here with the Alphas, there's no doubt that we’d always get intimate. I can't afford to get pregnant with their child since I’m just a human.” I said with a soft sigh. It had been one week already, and yes, I always had Oriana bring me human things to prevent pregnancies since Zarek and Zade never used protection each time they fucked me.I couldn't imagine getting pregnant for werewolves. So I chose to take the pills to avoid any problems.She nodded in understanding and suddenly grinned at me. “By the way, the Alphas seem to like you so much. Look how they've been hovering around you all the time, even pulling you along to me

    _Astrid’s POV_I don’t know what exactly I was thinking when I suggested karaoke. Maybe it was the way Zade and Zarek looked like they were both ready to bite someone’s head off. Or maybe it was the fact that, after everything that had happened, I just needed something normal. Something stupid and fun.And nothing says stupid fun like singing off-key in front of people who could easily rip you apart with their bare hands.Zade’s face when I suggested it was priceless.“I can’t sing,” he said immediately like I’d asked him to wrestle naked.I grinned up at him.The karaoke bar we ended up at wasn’t anything fancy. It smelled like stale beer and cheap cologne, and there were exactly seven people there, including the bartender who looked like he hadn’t slept in a long time.Perfect.We got a booth near the back. Zade sat stiffly like he was ready to jump out of his skin at any moment, and Zarek looked like he was planning fifty different ways to escape.I laughed to myself. This was alre
