All Chapters of Stuck Between Two Alphas: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Ivy’s POVI stared at Daniel like he’d grown two heads. “You can’t be serious. You’re really thinking of knocking me out cold…dragging me like some sack of potatoes…to see that… that beast of a man? The one who stalks my nightmares and rips me apart every single night?”Daniel groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose like he’d been repeating the same prayer for centuries. “For the one hundredth time, Ivy…there is no way he will hurt you. Don’t you get it? Hurting you would be the same as hurting himself. You’re bound. You’ve been chosen by the Moon Goddess herself for him. And so has he. Stop being so damn difficult.”My jaw tightened, but he didn’t give me time to bite back before continuing.“The king’s Beta came three days ago, Ivy,” he said, his voice low, urgent. “He begged your father to send you. Begged. They’re giving you time to go willingly, but it’s dragging too long. And if you don’t make a decision soon…” His silver eyes locked onto mine, burning with a warning I didn’t w

Daniel’s POVThe car hummed beneath us, but my head was no longer in the present. With every passing mile toward the realm, the past forced its claws deeper into me. I could smell it again. Blood. Smoke. Fear.I was back there.The night it all ended.My name is Daniel Kairus of the Obsidian Clan…the last son of a fallen Alpha.And this is my story.A story carved in blood and betrayal.A story I never asked to carry, yet it clings to me like a curse.I was 23 when it happened. The Moonlight Festival was supposed to be sacred. A night when every Obsidian wolf shed their burdens under the full moon, celebrating the bond we held with the Goddess herself. We weren’t just any clan…we were her guardians. The ones entrusted to protect the mountain where her light touched the earth. For centuries, no enemy had dared trespass. No rogue had ever crossed our borders and lived to tell the tale.But that night…I wasn’t there.I should’ve been in the clearing, laughing, dancing, howling with the

Lila's POV We were both still catching our breath, skin slick with sweat, the night air cooling our bodies. His arms were around me like he was terrified I’d vanish again. For a moment, it almost felt like peace. Almost.I tilted my head, brushing my lips along his jaw. “You know what I’d love?” I whispered, my voice low, dangerous. “To see the girl who dared to taste a meal meant only for me.”He stiffened, then chuckled darkly, the sound vibrating against my ear. “You want to see her?” His lips curled into a grin. “I’ll take you to her. Right now if you want.”A wicked grin spread across my face. “Good. Because I’ll teach her what happens when you eat a fruit meant for the queen.”We got dressed quickly, him helping me tug on my clothes when I struggled with one hand. He made it look natural, like he was meant to. When his eyes lingered on my sleeve, his face hardened.“Your arm…” His voice was raw, demanding.I met his gaze coldly and uttered one word. “Ivy.”His whole body snappe

Lila's POV The road up to Dina’s mountain was a ribbon of stone and fog, the trees leaning like old women whispering unfinished prayers. Dante’s bike dropped me at the last switchback, under the mountain’s hulking shadow. I had transformed into my human self after running a distance. My bare feet crunched over frost-dulled leaves; my hands still smelled metallic, and the scent of it braided itself through my blood like a second pulse. It felt holy and profane at once. The mountain didn’t welcome me. It never did. It loomed, stone and bone, as if it remembered every oath ever broken at its feet. Dante’s scent was gone before I even reached the threshold of Dina’s home. He knew this part wasn’t for him. It was for me…and her. Dina was already waiting at the doorway, a figure draped in shadow, her shawl heavy with symbols I didn’t recognize. She didn’t step forward, didn’t touch me. She only looked, her gaze slicing me like a blade. “You reek of sin,” she said, voice low and sharp

Daniel's POV I ignored Ivy's ridiculous laugh and turned to Lila.“What are you doing here, Lila?” I asked, voice low and rough from unused anger."Shut up, you..." Lila replied, still unnervingly calm. She folded her arms like a queen waiting for someone to finish a joke. "I'm Ivy Blackwood not Lila. Don't test me, dog.""If you're Ivy, then I'm the king's mistress you freak," I replied and Ivy chuckled, stifling a laugh."Silence!" Lila's voice sliced through the hall. Ivy tapped my arm, demanding to be set down, and I obeyed because the world was unpredictable enough without me being stubborn.Ivy looked between Lila, the other version of herself, her mouth shaping the word wow like a child seeing a magic trick. She looked back at me and then grinned, loud and messy. "Daniel, can you believe this? I have a disfigured sister!" she yelled, pointing at Lila's missing arm.My hand shot to my face like I might be able to palm the nonsense away.Ivy’s smile widened. She looked amused a
