All Chapters of Mated To Twin Alphas : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The house was bigger than she expected. Warm lighting. Large windows. A fire crackling in the living room. It felt… lived in. Jake carried her bag upstairs, stopping in front of a door. "This is yours." Lila stepped inside without a word. The room was simple. A bed. A dresser. A window overlooking the forest. It was nice. Too nice. She hated it. She turned to face Jake. "How long do I have to stay?" Jake hesitated. "As long as it takes." "For what?" "For you to heal." Her chest tightened. "And after that?" Jake’s expression darkened, but before he could answer, Lucas spoke from the doorway. "You’ll leave," he said, voice unreadable. Lila turned to him, startled by his presence. He was leaning against the frame, arms crossed, watching her with that same guarded expression. Something sharp twisted in her stomach. Lucas held her gaze. "If that’s what you want." She should have felt relieved. She should have felt something like victory, like freedom w

"This place is... homey." The second the word left her mouth, Lila wanted to take it back. Her lips parted as if she could snatch it from the air, but Jake was already staring at her, one eyebrow raised, amusement flickering in his eyes. "Homey?" he echoed, a slow smirk forming. "Did you just say you like it?" Lila scowled. "No." "You did." She shook her head, looking away. "I meant—it’s livable. Barely. Don’t get ahead of yourself." Jake didn’t say anything, but she could feel his eyes on her, studying her in that way that made her want to squirm. Not that she would. She wouldn’t give him the satisfaction. She stepped further into the room, trailing her fingers along the edge of the wooden dresser. It wasn’t extravagant, but it was sturdy, well-crafted. The bed looked—comfortable. Too comfortable. She sat down cautiously, testing the mattress. A sigh slipped out before she could stop it. Jake chuckled. "Oh, so now the bed is nice too?" "Shut up," she muttered, try

"I—" She tried to speak, but his lips were on hers again, swallowing the protest before it could form.She wasn’t sure if she wanted to fight him or pull him closer, and the indecision made her dizzy. His touch was everywhere—his hands at her waist, his fingers pressing just enough to keep her there, as if daring her to leave."You should stop," she whispered, though even she could hear the lack of conviction in her voice.Jake smirked against her lips. "Then tell me to."She inhaled sharply, but no words came.Instead, she kissed him back.It was reckless. It was inevitable. It was everything she had been trying to avoid, yet now that she was here, drowning in him, she couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.He deepened the kiss, his fingers sliding from her waist to her back, pulling her flush against him. She felt the heat of him through the thin fabric of her shirt, felt the way his breath hitched when she let herself melt into him."Lila," he murmured, his voice rough, raw. "You’re

Lucas I was delighted today since Lila was finally coming home. I had done my best to arrange her room so she'd like it. Even if she didn't like it, I was willing to make alterations according to her preferences. I was eager to do anything for her, but being away from her was slowly depleting me. I needed to see and speak to her, but I decided to hide in my ofice instead. She didn't want to see me yet, and I didn't want to overwhelm or distress her by continuously being in her face. If she wanted for my absence, that was all I would offer her, even if it physically wounded mne to do so. My knot had been throbbing all day and night since she woke up, and I could feel the link again. No matter how much I massaged myself, it wouldn't help me at all. It appeared to make my urges worse. It seemed as if my body was indirectly pressuring me to go to her, but I wasn't selfish. Lila needed rest, and I doubted she'd be able to relax if she saw me So far, Jake had been doing excellent at eas

"I'm telling you, Lucas, she's not going to make this easy for you," Jake said, his voice low and serious."I don't expect her to," Lucas replied, his eyes fixed on the screen in front of him."You're really going to just sit there and watch her sleep?" Jake asked, raising an eyebrow.Lucas didn't respond. He couldn't tear his eyes away from Lila's peaceful form.As he stood there, a pang of longing struck him. He wished he could hold Lila like Jake once did, feel her warmth and closeness. The thought tormented him, and he knew he had to be near her.Without thinking, Lucas made his way to Lila's room. Her scent stirred deep emotions within him, and he felt his wolf stirring. He stood by her bedside, longing for her touch but holding himself back."I shouldn't be here," he whispered to himself, but he couldn't bring himself to leave.Instead, he reached into his pocket and retrieved the pendant. He had given it to her as a symbol of their bond, but she had rejected it. Now, he was det
