180 days with the Twin alphas のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

KeileighThe warmth of the afternoon combined with how comfortable the chair was, made my body feel relaxed and my eyes heavy.I shifted in my seat, forcing myself to stay awake through sheer will. I hated having naps these days, because of the nightmares I had been having.Therefore I did whatever I could to keep myself occupied. Normally Roman would have shown up by now but perhaps he was busy today for he didn’t even come by to check up on me.The afternoon, try as hard as I might was quickly becoming boring. At least, I thought to myself, eyeing the book I had tried to finish reading but dropped a couple of minutes later, Alpha Arnold and Selene hadn’t been a black spot in my morning today.At least I had gone longer without hearing their snide remarks about me, especially Selene’s that often seemed worse than Arnold’s at times. At least with Arnold he never hid his true emotions in public. But with the self-acclaimed Lady of the House, she had a small smile on her face most times

RomanShe was quiet, but I could tell she was incredibly confused and conflicted on what to do.I many emotions showed on her face and I knew it was time for me to leave.Later, I would make her make a decision but for now, it wouldn’t do to push her too strongly.“I have to gobble,” I said in a soft tone to her, before leaning in to press a kiss against her forehead. She didn’t push me away which made me smile inwardly. “Really think about what I have said, Keileigh. And no matter what, I be here.”With that I stood and walked out of the room, only to freeze.Kara was standing right in front of me. My mind raced. Did she come here to see Keileigh on Ryker’s orders? Did she hear anything? I really hoped that she didn’t.“Ah, Beta Roman,” Kara broke the silence. “Is Keileigh busy?”“Keileigh is resting,” I decided to mention, to dissuade her form going to see Keileigh now. If she saw her in such a dazed state she might think that something happened and that would make its way to Ryker,

KeileighBack in the safety of the bedroom I had grown used to staying in, I began to think again, my thoughts the only company I had at the moment.The velvet bag sat on the vanity table, waiting for me to open it. I stared at it for a long time before forcing myself to look away.“This is just so complicated,” I whispered out loud, feeling the pressure around me tighten.First the two Alphas had brought me trouble and conflicted emotions, especially Ryker. Now Roman.My own childhood best friend… had confessed his feelings for me.And… what did I feel about it? What COULD I feel about it, when I didn’t know if I could ever love or trust anyone romantically ever again.A voice proclaimed in my head lid and clear, ’But this was ROMAN we’re talking about. Not some other guy who you don’t know from a young age. Roman has always brought you comfort and you never had a reason to not trust him, right?’I closed my eyes briefly and let out a deep sigh. Opening them, my eyes were drawn once

KeileighI avoided Alpha Ryker the next morning, and stayed in the room the entire time.Kara must have figured out that I hadn’t had breakfast because she arrived in my bedroom sometime after breakfast was normally served, with a maid carrying a tray of food for me.Even as the older woman stayed for the entire duration of my eating, ordering the maid around to clean, she didn’t give me any news from Alpha Ryker to my surprise.Had he really… forgotten about me already? Or had he been hurt by the way I had practically brushed him off the last part of the dinner?I felt guilty once again - an emotion that seemed to always accompany me every time I pushed Aloha Ryker away.But I couldn’t help it, I tried to defend my actions of the previous night.I had been overwhelmed. I didn’t know what to do then. It was all so confusing to be in the same room as Alpha Ryker because he made me feel like he cared when I knew… I just knew that he actually didn’t.I let out a sigh as Kara left with th

22Chapter 29: Seeds of DistrustKeileighI could relax a little after Alpha Ryker’s words but that didn’t mean I didn’t feel awkward.How did he find out I was pregnant?It wasn’t hard to connect the dots; Roman was the only soul I had told about this.I was almost afraid to ask but I had to.Alpha Ryker let out a sigh which almost sounded resigned to my ears, and he said, “Keileigh, cannot lie to you. I did tell Roman to spy on you.”Hearing that solidified a feeling inside me and I didn’t like it. It was unease, and now I was wondering about all my interactions with Roman.“However,” Ryker continued with certainty in his voice. “I only did that because I wished to know more about you. I don’t regret that I had to resort to those methods.”I didn’t know what to say and could only nod.At least he was honest, I thought. Roman hadn’t been honest about being a spy on Ryker’s behalf.Of all the things I expected to be confronted with this morning, my pregnancy wasn’t one of them.“Thank
