บททั้งหมดของ Her Double Trouble: My Alpha and My Mate: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Gabe POVI had her in my arms, melting into me just the way a mate should with her Alpha. Then, like a switch, she snapped out of the trance and ran straight into Sebastian's arms. It was utter bullshit.I watched them with a tight jaw, realizing just how close they were. The moment she saw him, her whole demeanor shifted, her entire soul seemed at ease. The way she spoke to him, so casually, without any reservations or fear, grated on me. She was only ever pissed at me.Sebastian glanced back at me. "You coming or what?" he asked, and I had to fight the urge to lunge at him and punch his smug face. Of course I was coming. I'm her damn mate. I should also be her Alpha, not him. But then again, he was my Alpha. I could feel the loyalty and the pull to his power, which probably made him her Alpha too. I didn't like it. All of this was bullshit."Gabe!" Ruby's voice snapped me out of my thoughts, and I looked up to see we were in what appeared to be her room. I wasn't even sure how we go

Ruby POVSebastian left with Hailey and I was stuck with the dick face Alpha. I was so annoyed and mostly because I knew my body wanted to give into him."Ruby, come on. We are fated. How long are you going to try and push me away?" His hand reached for me and I slapped it away"Forever, don't touch me." I grumbled. I grabbed a blanket from my chair and a pillow from my bed to throw on the floor. "Go to sleep." I ordered him."I thought we were going to talk?" Gabe actually looked upset. He was a complete asshole that thought I would just be one of his mates. I remembered every vile thing he said and some stupid mate bond isn't going to change that."I have to shower. Then, I need to sleep. When I use my magic like that it nearly knocks me out. Tomorrow, we all need to figure out how to save my best friend. I don't have time for you." I shouted my words, pushing all the longing I felt inside me into pure hate."You don't have time for me, but you have time for him." He scoffed."He wa

Sebastian POVI woke up feeling surprisingly energized, ready to tackle whatever the day threw at me. Hailey had slipped out before dawn, which was a relief to not have the awkward morning-after conversations to worry about. We'd met five minutes before ending up in bed, so I doubted she expected anything more."You ready?" Ruby burst into my room, practically bouncing on her feet with an uncharacteristically cheery mood."Did you make up with your mate?" I asked, grinning as I reached out and pinched her cheeks."Ew! No! Stop treating me like your little sister," she snapped, her scowl returning as quickly as it had vanished. I shook my head, amused."Whatever it was, it didn't last long," I teased, grabbing my bag and slinging it over my shoulder. It seemed we were heading out, given that she had her bag packed too."I'm happy because we're going to save you, asshole," she shot back, punching my bicep before wincing at the effort. "I don't like how big you've gotten.""I've always b

Gabe POVI looked back at the wall, now just a distant gray line on the horizon, and wondered if we'd ever see it again. These lands were dry, empty, and filled with evil. Which was nothing compared to the horrors of my mother. I never thought I'd miss the Queen's land, but right now, I longed for its safety. Out here, life was hell, a lonely, constant fight to survive. Peace and love were luxuries we couldn't afford.Beside me, Ruby was uncharacteristically quiet. Her usual snarky remarks had dried up, replaced by an intensity that set my teeth on edge. Sebastian trailed behind, lost in his own dark thoughts, while Hailey, who I still wasn't sure I could trust, brought up the rear. Her wary eyes scanned the surroundings, making my gut churn.We arrived at a town barely clinging to life, stretched out before us like a crumbling relic from another age. Buildings leaned at odd angles, windows shattered and boarded up, casting eerie shadows. The road was uneven, littered with debris, and

Gabe POVWe walked through the night, Ruby berating Sebastian, while Hailey trailed beside me, her every step dripping with mockery. I knew exactly what she was thinking without her needing to say a word. I wasn't the man she once knew, nor the boy she had grown up with."You're not exactly living up to the savage Alpha reputation, Gabe," Hailey remarked, her tone light but her words sharp. "Worried about your mate and her little best friend she loves so much?"My jaw tightened, but I didn't take the bait. Hailey was always pushing, always testing, waiting for me to snap. I knew she was trying to provoke the beast inside me, the one that could easily destroy everything in its path if unleashed. But that wasn't the kind of Alpha I wanted to be anymore.I had left my home to forge my own path, one not manipulated by my mother or driven by mere survival. I had easily overpowered everyone beyond the wall, feeling like a god among them, and it all felt pointless. Now, I knew the power insi
