Semua Bab Stuck Between Two Alphas: Bab 191 - Bab 200

The Trance…Dina’s smile spreads slowly and poisonously, as if savoring the taste of every holy thing Shina just spat out. Her voice slides through the hollow like oil on ice, soft, mocking, and full of teeth.“Your watch?” she purrs, amusement folding into contempt. “Oh, Shina, always the martyr. Always the circle of hands and sticky prayers. Do you truly believe a braid of light and a few pretty words can hold me where I belong? How quaint.”She leans forward, and the nothing around them knuckles into shape, a tiny, impossible throne of shadow that grows sharp at the edges. “The queen?” Dina laughs, the sound like a knife dragged over glass. “That small, pale brat? You would have me fear her?” Her head tilts, eyes narrowing to cold pinpricks. “Tell me, which of you taught her to weld claws? Which of you forged her a war cry that could split bone?” She sneers. “I’ve seen children with spoons make more havoc than your golden sovereign. She flutters in gowns and human etiquette and bed

Lila’s POVBlood.The moment I hit the forest floor I coughed it up, copper hot and thick in my mouth.“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!” I spat into the moss and kicked at roots until my ankle slammed into something hard. Pain lit up, but I didn’t care. I screamed instead.“I hate you, Aria!” I howled, the words tearing out like claws. “I hate you so much!”I was bawling, flailing, throwing a tantrum like a child who’d been robbed of her one toy. Fists slammed into the dirt…leaves flew. I grabbed at branches and yanked, trying to tear anything down with me. I cursed her name until it tasted like ash. The forest answered with wind and the hollow cry of my wolf…useless, whining at my feet like the idiot it was.“Everything was perfect,” I spat between curses, shaking my head so hard my vision blurred. “Everything was on my side. The storm…Dina’s storm…she made it, she said it would hide me, she said it would keep my stupid sister away until I get the work done. I was there. I was right there and…”

Dina’s POVI float through the trees, my feet barely brushing the leaf litter, anger coursing through my throat threatening to burst out into a scream. The forest breathes slowly around me, but everything inside is loud…raw and dangerous. Shina’s face won’t leave me…her eyes cut through me like a persistent blade.Why won’t she just die…or give up?!By the time I reached the cave mouth, the moment had already hardened into something I could use. I stepped into the dark and the forest closed behind me.The cave smelled of damp stone and old secrets. I pressed my palm to the wall and let the cold bite into my skin until it steadied my shaking fingers. I had no time to waste on what that useless brat has failed to do. Not after Shina. Not after seeing her stand there with that small, dangerous smile, like she’d always known how to take what I wanted.I should have killed her when we were younger. Now I’m paying for that mistake.Lila’s stubbornness reminded me of myself. Everyone used

DINA’S POVI stumbled out of the storm and into a lonely path, the trees closing like shutters around me. The moon cut a cold scar through the branches. I screamed at it until my throat burned.“Moon Goddess!” I spat into the white, “whoever blessed this world with mate bonds, I curse you. I curse the wound you sewed between chests. You made the strongest men soft because of the damn bond. How divine! How original!”My voice broke on the last word. For a long second I just stood there, chest heaving, the scream faded into the night. Anger rolled through me like a fever. The image of Malrik…his smirk, his mate clinging to him…burned behind my eyes. I had pictured him as a weapon. The perfect distraction for Leo Ashton. Instead, he listened to a soft voice and turned his back on the blade.Coward.I hit the ground hard. The dirt bit my palms. I let the cold crawl under my skin and I laughed…a short, empty sound. It cannot end this way, I told myself. It will not.All hope was not lost

Leo’s POVMy wolf didn’t care about clocks or guests. It only cared about the warmth of her skin beneath mine.I caged her in again, pressing her back into the sheets. I needed to feel her under me one more time.I needed to burn away the scent of every other male who ever dared to look at her…or even think about going near her.“Mine,” I growled, the word rough and possessive.She gasped, the exhaustion in her eyes melting into the same fire that burned through me. Her legs wrapped instantly around my waist as I leaned closer. She didn’t have to say yes…her body was already screaming it.This time, I was heavier. I was in control. I took her mouth first, devouring what little resistance she had left, biting and tasting the sweetness of her lips again. I moved fast…no thought, no hesitation…only instinct. My hands gripped her hips, tilting her just right, preparing for the deep, punishing thrust I craved.“I need you to feel how you drive me insane,” I said, voice low and thick. I did
