In Love With The Alpha Brothers のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Reyna's POVThe hustle and bustle of different people at the airport, alongside Jake's demeanor were two things I hadn't accounted for when I wanted to follow him. But my heart still ached with the thought of John and those....rogue wolves, that whatever hesitation I had vanished into thin air.We had gotten our tickets and were headed towards the boarding area, when I accidentally slipped backwards on my slippers, almost landing on my butt. A small yelp left my lips as I slid against the tiles. I shut my eyes tightly, yelping and bracing for impact. But impact didn't happen. Instead, I was suspended mid air, by surprisingly strong arms. The faint scent of pine and cinnamon permeated my senses, and I opened my eyes.Jake's green orbs were staring back at me, and I realized he stopped me from falling. There was a small flicker of concern in those steeled eyes, but it disappeared as soon as it showed up. "Try being more careful on your feet. I won't save your ass again." He growled, le

Reyna's POVI bit my lower lip, trying to restrain myself. Jake’s grip tightened on my chin, his piercing gaze locking onto mine. His voice, sharp and commanding, cut through the tension.“Princess, what did I say about interrupting me?”“You...you said not to do it again,” I muttered breathily. My voice wavered despite my efforts to sound defiant. Damn him and his unnerving dominance. He had this way of making me feel small, not in a bad way, but in a way that made my wolf whimper in submission.A slow smirk spread across his lips, and my chest tightened. The sheer confidence he exuded sent a rush of heat to my face.Before I could protest or think of a witty comeback, he leaned forward. His hand slid from my chin to the small of my back. My breath hitched, and the next thing I knew, I was in his arms.“What the—? Jake!” I yelped, instinctively wrapping my arms around his neck for balance. My heart pounded as his scent hit me, earthy and raw, like pine trees after a rainstorm. My wol

Reyna's POV His lips brushed against mine, soft at first, testing, as if he wasn’t sure I’d let him. But when I didn’t pull away, more like when I couldn’t pull away, his initial hesitation vanished. And God was I grateful for it. The kiss deepened, stealing the breath from my lungs and replacing it with the fire that radiated off him.I gripped the edge of the desk behind me, as my legs trembled, threatening to give out. Jake’s hand slid from my cheek to the back of my neck. He pulled me closer, his other hand pressing on the desk beside me. The warmth of his touch, the way his lips moved against mine, was overwhelming and intoxicating, like I was diving headfirst into something I’d never recover from. A low man escaped my throat at the same time I heard a groan rising from within his chest.I should have stopped him. The rational part of me screamed that this was a mistake, that Jake was dangerous in more ways than one. We were true mates, yes, but I was still with John, and I d

Reyna's POVThe first thing I noticed was the cold. It crept over my skin like icy fingers, seeping into my bones and leaving me shivering. My head pounded, each throb like a drumbeat inside my skull, and when I tried to move, a sharp pain shot through my side.Where am I?The last thing I remembered was Jake shouting my name, his voice raw and panicked. And then… darkness.I forced my eyes open, blinking against the dim light that barely illuminated the space around me. Thick vines and twisted roots surrounded me like a cage, their jagged edges covered in some kind of sticky, glowing moss. The air was damp, heavy with the scent of earth and decay.I tried to sit up, only to realize my hands were bound—thick, rough ropes cutting into my wrists. A curse slipped from my lips, and I tugged at the bindings, ignoring the sting.Stay calm. Focus.But calm wasn’t exactly an option when every instinct screamed that I wasn’t alone.“Ah, you’re awake.”The voice came from the shadows, low and g

Reyna’s POVThe forest seemed alive, a breathing, humming entity that stretched infinitely around us. Each step felt heavier, not because of exhaustion but because the air itself carried a weight of anticipation. Somewhere in this vast, suffocating jungle was John, and with every passing hour, I felt the invisible thread connecting us tugging harder.“We’re close,” I murmured to myself, though I wasn’t sure if Jake caught it.Jake walked ahead of me, his broad shoulders cutting through the dense foliage. His movements were calculated, graceful even, as though the forest itself bent to his will. I hated how he made it all look so easy.“We’ll find him,” Jake said suddenly, his voice steady and calm. He didn’t look back, but I knew he could sense my anxiety.It was complicated. Everything about this journey—this mission—was tangled in emotions I didn’t know how to unravel. John was my boyfriend. I cared for him, truly. But Jake? Jake was my fated mate, the one the universe had chosen fo
