Kaelen's POV

The man beside me was still talking about zoning permits, but I hadn't heard a single word of it in almost a minute.

Across the room, Lyra stood near the panel tables, laughing softly at something Cassian had said. Nothing dramatic. Nothing that should have mattered right?Just two people talking after a good presentation.

"Alpha Ashthorn?" The man called, trying to get back my attention.

"Sorry," I said, forcing my eyes back to the man in front of me. "You were saying?"

  • dear Alpha, my twins are no longer yours   CHAPTER 11

    Kaelen's POVThe man beside me was still talking about zoning permits, but I hadn't heard a single word of it in almost a minute.Across the room, Lyra stood near the panel tables, laughing softly at something Cassian had said. Nothing dramatic. Nothing that should have mattered right?Just two people talking after a good presentation."Alpha Ashthorn?" The man called, trying to get back my attention."Sorry," I said, forcing my eyes back to the man in front of me. "You were saying?"He repeated his question. I answered it without really thinking, some old instinct for polite conversation carrying me through while the rest of my attention stayed fixed on the other side of the room. On Lyra actually.I told myself I was only watching because Cassian was a judge on this project. It was reasonable to pay attention to how he interacted with the companies bidding for it. That was all this was but I didn't believe myself even as I thought it and my drink had gone warm in my hand because I ha

  • dear Alpha, my twins are no longer yours   chapter 10

    Lyra's POVI stood in front of the mirror and barely recognized the woman looking back at me.The suit was sharper than anything I usually wore. Black, clean lines, no room for softness anywhere in it. I pulled my hair back tighter than usual too, until not a single strand could fall loose and distract me.Today was not a day for softness."You look scary," Aiden told me from the doorway, grinning."Good," I answered, checking my reflection one last time."Who's the man outside our door?" Aria asked, tilting her head.I turned to face them both. I had been dreading this question since I woke up."That's Marcus," I said, keeping my voice light. "He's a new friend who works for Mommy.""Why does he stand outside all day?" Aiden asked."Because Mommy's job is very important right now," I said. "And he helps keep things safe while I work."Aiden shrugged like that was answer enough and went back to his cereal. Aria kept watching me a moment longer, her eyes narrowed the way they always di

  • dear Alpha, my twins are no longer yours   chapter 9

    Lyra's POVI sat on the edge of the bed with my phone still open in my hand, the photograph refusing to disappear no matter how many times I blinked.The message *Beautiful children.* Was still staring at me.Two words. That was all it took to unsettle me and turn my stomach into a fist.I zoomed in on the picture again, even though I already knew every inch of it by heart. Aria and Aiden were standing outside the conference center exactly where I'd left them for less than a minute while I spoke to one of the organizers. Neither of them was looking at the camera which meant that they had no idea they were being watched.Whoever had taken this photo had been close enough to frame them perfectly, patient enough to wait for the right moment, and calm enough to send it to me hours later with only two words attached. My hands had gone cold sometime in the last ten minutes without my noticing.I told myself to breathe. I had survived worse than this. I had survived a loveless marriage for

  • dear Alpha, my twins are no longer yours   chapter 8

    Kaelen's POVI didn't sleep well that night.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the same thing. A little boy holding up a paper airplane like it was the greatest invention in the world. A little girl watching me with quiet, careful eyes that felt like they already knew something I didn't.By morning, I gave up pretending I could focus on anything else.I called Rowan into my office before I had even finished my coffee."You look like you didn't sleep," he said, closing the door behind him."I need you to look into something." I ignored his comment entirely.He raised an eyebrow and sat down across from my desk. "This is about yesterday.""It's about the investment project," I said. "Silver Crescent Holdings is a serious contender. I need to know who I'm dealing with.""You already know who you're dealing with," Rowan said carefully. "You were married to her.""Five years ago," I reminded him. "People change. Companies change. I need updated information before the final contract stage.

  • dear Alpha, my twins are no longer yours   Chapter 7

    Lyra's pov I returned to the hotel suite with Aria and Aiden after our unexpected encounter with Kaelen. The twins hadn't stopped talking about the stranger they'd met outside the conference center."Mom, do you know that man said my paper airplane flies very well?" Aiden said, excitement in his voice.I stopped in my tracks. I turned to him. "Do you like him?""Of course. He was really nice, and he played with me.""I think he looks lonely," Aria chimed in.My heart started beating fast. I tried not to react, but hearing my children speak warmly about Kaelen made me uncomfortable. *They'll forget him. It was just a brief encounter,* I told myself, trying to stay calm — until Aiden asked the question that threw me off guard."When are we going to see him again?""What?""The man. Kaelen. When are we going to see him again?""His name is Kaelen?" Aria asked."He's a hunter at Black Ridge Park," I said. "And I don't think you'll be seeing him again anytime soon."The twins exchanged a

  • dear Alpha, my twins are no longer yours   chapter 6

    Kaelen's POVI returned to my office after meeting Lyra and her twins, but I couldn't focus on my work.I kept staring at the document in front of me for several minutes without reading a single word.Rowan entered and noticed that something was wrong at first glance."What is it?" he asked.It was a genuine question, but I felt irritated. I wasn't even in the mood to answer him or hear whatever he had to say."Nothing," I told him.He looked at me in disbelief. "Come on, Kaelen. I'm your Beta, but I'm also your best friend. I've known you for years, so I know when something is bothering you. What happened?"I remained silent."Lyra, right?" he asked.I couldn't hide it anymore. I groaned in frustration as I dropped my pen. My mind went back to the twins.I kept remembering Aiden's smile and the way Aria had looked at me with those strangely familiar silver eyes.Then I relived the moment Lyra had called their names."Aiden. Aria." Her voice and their names kept replaying in my head.
