Her Double Trouble: My Alpha and My Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

Sebastian POVRuby was magnificent, a beauty that people will speak of for generations. The way her body glistened with magic, her eyes sparkled with hope. It was like she transformed right before my eyes. "That was exhausting." She sighed, plopping on the bed. We spent the entire day chasing away the dark and it was exhausting, but more fulfilling than anything I've ever done before."That was exhilarating. It felt like I've been here for months trying to push back the darkness, and in one swift moment you just erased it.""Yeah, I did." She sat up, looking over my glum expression. I was truly impressed by her. "I guess that means I'm better than you." She stood and walked towards me. That sassy attitude on a mission to torment me, but I welcomed it."I wouldn't say better, maybe close to equal." I mocked."Equal? I don't think so, little wolf." She teased. "Kane is a chump compared to Scarlet and now we both know it." 'Mark her!' Kane suddenly roared inside me. He was jumping arou

Sebastian POVI laid in bed restless, unable to find comfort in the immense satisfaction Ruby's body gave me. She had called out to Gabe! Said she needed us both. What did that mean? Was I really just an Alpha to satisfy her heat? I know the sex between us wasn't something of epic love, not like I thought we would be, but it was still something amazing. She even said she never orgasmed so hard before.I watched her sleep peacefully in bed. Not a worry on her beautiful face. Then she began calling for Gabe again. My heart sank as she twisted and turned in the sheets. No matter how great we could be together, she would always want him.I packed our things, gritting my teeth every time his name slipped from her lips. She was dreaming of him. While I was here, after I spent half the night inside her, she was dreaming of him. We needed to leave. Get her a suppressant for this cursed heat taking over her body. I will always cave to her so I had to remove the need her body had for me. It was

Ruby POVThe ride back to the Southern Wall was heavy with silence. I tried not to let what I'd overheard between Sebastian and Sylvia cut so deep, but the ache was there, undeniable. He regretted sleeping with me. That much was clear, and I couldn't let it happen again. Whatever I had hoped for between us, I had to let it go. No matter how badly I wanted it.A few years ago, I'd dreamt of something different, something full of hope. In that dream, I was in the arms of my true mate. When he marked me, my magic drained from me like a river, setting me free. It was my birthday, and I was turning twenty, wracked with guilt over hurting someone I loved. Then, in the dream, my mate marked me, and I marked him. I never saw his face or learned his name, but I felt our perfection. My magic flowed out, released back into the world. It was the only time I ever felt free from the goddess's curse.After Gabe's rejection, I thought maybe that man, my true mate, could've been Sebastian. He was my s

Gabe POVThe clang of steel and the tearing of flesh echoed around me. More were fighting only a few miles out. The chaos wasn't over and we charged deeper into the once protected lands the Kings and Queens fought so hard to protect. An even larger battle warred down the path. The second we arrived to help, something else caught my eye, something more terrifying than the undead abominations we've been fighting.Kiera. She stood in the midst of the battle, her long white hair wild, her body battered but refusing to falter. But she wasn't fighting the same mindless corpses as the rest of us. No, the creature before her was different, part human, part shifted werewolf, and somehow more gruesome than anything I'd seen so far. Its body twisted unnaturally, half decayed but horribly strong."Not again!" Kiera screamed, her voice thick with both rage and desperation. She swung her blade, but the creature barely flinched, its twisted mouth curling into something resembling a grin."You're de

Ruby POVThe past few days had been a blur of exhaustion, magic, and an endless battle against the creeping darkness. Each time I closed my eyes, I could feel it, tendrils of shadow trying to take root in my soul. But every time I summoned my strength I pushed it away, burnt it down. Still, it was relentless. My body ached, my magic drained, and the constant pressure left me teetering on the edge of collapse.Tonight, the darkness had retreated just enough for us to breathe. The survivors we'd rescued sat huddled around the fire in one of the southern territories we stopped at to rest for the night. Like most nights, after a long grueling day of fighting and surviving, they shared stories of the horrors we all barely escaped. I picked at the food on my plate, barely able to stomach it despite how hungry I was. It felt wrong to rest when there was still so much left undone, but I was too weak to fight anymore tonight.Sebastian sat beside me, his presence always a comfort, though a wei
