Tryst Of Fate: Caught Between The Alpha And Beta のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 91 - チャプター 100

Kaden At first I’m surrounded by midnight, a pitch black so thick it’s almost palpable. This must be what floating in one of those sensory deprivation tanks is like, weightless, no sight, no sound. It’s peaceful. But I can’t shake this nagging feeling that I’m not supposed to be here. That I have somewhere infinitely more important to be. Why did I come here? How did I get here in the first place? The answers to those questions evade me. But I don’t linger on them for long. Because a tiny pinpoint of light flickers in the distance and my instincts are roaring at me to reach for it. So I do. Or maybe I don’t. Maybe I’m not moving at all and it’s just getting closer. Either way, it grows until nothing of the darkness is left. Just a bright light, blinding in its intensity.The light slowly softens, like sunbeams through the trees on a summer day, and my surroundings come into sharp focus. The scene is idyllic, trees and gardens and hills with waterfalls cascading into crystal clear

Kaden “In the wind?” I ask incredulously. “What do you mean ‘in the wind?’ I want every inch of that pack turned upside down. Dig up the foundations if you have to. I had squadrons at every exit. He couldn’t have gotten out.” The man nods and salutes me before leaving to follow my orders. But unease curdles in my stomach. As much as I want to believe he’s still there somewhere, in hiding, biding his time, I know the man would have had a contingency plan. “We need to get home where we can keep Olivia and the boys safe until we get our hands on Xavier.” I feel almost frenzied with panic, my heart racing and beads of sweat forming on my brow. I can’t let anything happen to my family again. I’ve already failed them so many times. We’re finally all together again, I can’t let Xavier take that from me! “Shh. Calm down, my Alpha. I’m right here. I’m safe. No one’s going to hurt me. You won’t let them.” Olivia says exactly what I need to hear, soothing my frayed nerves. Alpha. I’m an

Olivia I’m surprised I was able to sleep at all. Knowing Xavier is still out there somewhere is unsettling, to put it mildly. And I didn’t think I’d ever be able to close my eyes again without having nightmares of my boys being taken from me or reliving Kaden’s close call with death. Apparently I was wrong. I was terrified after talking to Hester, bordering on hysterical, so my mates had pulled me between them, laying down and snuggling in close on either side. Between their warmth and calming scents, coupled with the physical and emotional exhaustion of the past few days, I drifted off into a dreamless sleep. The only problem is, my body knows they left me in bed alone. My eyes pop open and refuse to close again. So instead of tossing and turning all night, I decide to get up and do something productive. I know where they are, they’d told me they were going to talk to Hester. And I know they wouldn’t leave me and the pups unprotected, so I’m not even surprised to see Ryder, thei

Kaden So far, the arrangement I made with Hester has worked to our advantage. My mother says she never leaves her room outside of meals, just spends her time reading and watching TV. And though the process has been grueling, she’s been able to help us seal most of the breaches Xavier had her create in our border wall.Unfortunately, the process drains her considerably so we’re not able to do more than one per day, but I have men stationed at the others she showed us. Xavier isn’t coming or going without us knowing about it, at least. But today I have another job for the witch. One I'm anxious to have done and over with so I can put my mate’s mind at ease.“Are you still going to see Ana today?” Olivia’s soft voice calls from my office doorway. “Hey. little flower.” I smile brightly, her presence always a balm, no matter how stressed I am. “Come here.”She pads across the room and I pull her into my lap, resting my chin on top of her impossibly soft copper curls. Her body melts again

Olivia “There. All done.” Ellie announces, finished setting the pearl encrusted combs in my hair. I look back at my reflection and sigh. The woman staring back at me is gorgeous, so much so I hardly recognize her. I just wish it was the joyous occasion a Luna Ceremony should be. “It’s going to be okay.” Ellie bends down to wrap her arms around my shoulders and hugs me. “I’m trying so hard to hold it together, El.” I admit. “I know I did this to myself but the truth is, I’m terrified. What if something goes wrong?”“It won’t!” She states confidently. “Just stick to the plan and everything will be fine. I promise.”“Does ‘everything’ include my mates ever speaking to me again?” I dig my nails into my palms to keep the tears from spilling over. “Girl, they’re going to take one look at you in this dress and forget they were ever mad.” Ellie laughs and I try to laugh with her, though it comes out as more of a sniffle. Thirty minutes later, I’m standing at the back of the huge tents we
