บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha Twins' Possession: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Rosalind's POVThe woman who stopped me was taller than me and effortlessly beautiful like she had just stepped out of a capital magazine. She also seemed familiar like I had seen her somewhere. She had brown hair done up in intricate braids that pulled her hair away from her face showing off her aristocratic features and glass-smooth skin. Unlike the other brides-to-be that were here, she covered up her body. She wore a luxurious gown that looked expensive enough to buy at least three orphans in the districts. Her grey eyes were as cool as steel. And her nails dug into my arm.And I don't understand what she is saying."Pardon me?"She hit me across the face and I clutched my cheek stunned silent by the suddenness of the slap. I hadn't done anything to warrant her to treat me like that. As I looked up at her and saw the disgusted sneer she regarded me with, I realised where I had seen her. Earlier yesterday, I had bumped into her when leaving the dining room after seeing Prince K

Rosalind's POVI sat in my bed feeling a chaotic whirl of emotions. My lips still tingled from Killian's kiss and my heart still ached from Cillian's betrayal. This was wrong. I shouldn't feel this way about both of them. It wasn't fair to either of them but I was unable to control how I felt.I loved Cillian. I had loved him from the first moment I met him and he took my hand. I had fallen even deeper in love with him every day he treated me like a queen. The way he tried to solve all of my problems, his shy smile and the way he stared at me as though I hung the moon and he couldn't be luckier to have me and the way his reverent kisses and his touch excited me beyond what I thought was possible. With every kiss we shared, I felt even more bound to him and my wolf confirmed what I had always felt deep down. He was my mate. The one person created by the moon goddess specifically for me. And then there was Killian. Killian who had almost had me executed the first time we met. Who m

Rosalind's POVWe entered the council meeting hall where I had once stood outside to eavesdrop on the conversation about the prospective brides. They were in session and I saw Cillian and Killian seated before the guards tossed me to the ground and I landed on my hands and knees. Instinctively I knew I should not raise my head. I should not draw notice here. It could be the end of my life. I heard the outraged cry of one of the council members, his name might have been Gaius from all my eavesdropping sessions. "What is the meaning of this interruption?"Adelyn was elegance incarnate as she simpered."I apologise dear esteemed council members. I have brought a case of theft for your judgement. Brought here as a part of the incoming brides, I was assured I would be treated like royalty."The room was silent and I wondered if just anyone could bring a case of theft to the Goddess damned council or if it was because she was Arthur's daughter. Her soothing voice continued to hammer nai

Killian's POVI was losing my mind. Rosalind had somehow made it into the trials. The trials would span two days. Two trials per day. After the disastrous meeting where the elders had pulled a fast one on us as I had suspected they would, I hadn't seen Rosalind which was normal. She was always so exceptionally good at avoiding truths she didn't want to know. It was one thing that I found intriguing about her. One among many. Then we - Cillian and I - came down to watch the trials. I noticed her instantly. Cillian had to and we exchanged a wide-eyed glance. I inclined my head and he nodded. A few seconds later I was drilling him for answers. "She is an omega?" I watched him carefully. "Of course, she is," Cillian frowned, his brow furrowed in thought. "I brought her straight from the districts."I crossed my arms not liking to be played for the fool. "Then why the fuck is she out there? You know the trials only sends out the call to all the people in the capital with the right

Rosalind's POVThe marsh sucked at my feet with every step and it took all my strength to even pull out one foot and step forward with another. I made the mistake of looking back and I saw Adelyn enter the marsh with what seemed like the fury of the world on her face. She moved fast and before I could blink, she skidded and landed on her back splattering mud everywhere. I laughed and my belly tender from her kneeing protested and I almost lost my balance falling forward until I caught myself. The person farther ahead was the girl that had picked a fight with the other girl. She seemed to have gotten a hang of this moving-in-the-mud thing. I looked back at her opponent that lay unconscious and unmoving. A shiver ran up my spine. I hoped she was still alive. Seeing the nobles dolled up it was easy to forget how dangerous they were. They had enough gold and silver to have their children trained immediately after they were weaned. Even the ladies that would be little more than orname
