All Chapters of Torn Between Her Alphas: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

AMELIA Lucius calling me his wife while Ryden was listening was disturbing. I instantly sensed Ryden’s infliction, and it broke my soul that he had to deal with it. At least until we were done taking the director down. We went home later in the morning. I wanted to have alone time with Ryden. I wanted him to feel safe and assured him I was his, and that he didn’t have to worry about me and Lucius. Still, I felt the heaviness in each breath he took. Guilt settled in my chest and twisted a knot in my belly. He didn’t want to show me he was affected, but we shared thoughts, and I could still feel he was struggling to adjust to the presence of Lucius in our lives. As we ready for bed, I hugged him from behind, making him chuckle. “I love you. You know that, right?” “I know, Amelia. I love you more.” Even the way he said it, I couldn’t feel the joy anymore. It was killing me that I made this happen, that I made him feel less loved. I held his arms and forced him to face me. “Baby, ca

AMELIA “Why the fuck is this man has my father’s face?” I shoved the screen of my phone onto Lucius’ face. “Amelia, I didn’t know you were coming.” He looked surprised and smiled. This son of a bitch was hard to track down. Maybe that was how he survived while the director and the entire Council and SEO had been hunting him for years. But I found him in one of the apartment he Rented in Paris. “Why do you sound so surprised? Maybe the SEO didn’t try so hard to find you. Answer me, Lucius?” He took the phone from me and looked at it. “Your friends have been looking for you and they blamed me for what happened to you and Ryden. Why are you doing this to yourself, sweetheart?” “Fuck you. Save the pep-talk. I don’t need it.” I helped myself to the wet bar and grabbed the bourbon decanter. I drank from it and let him watch that I didn’t give a crap about my life anymore. “Amelia—” “Answer. Now!” He shook his head in disappointment. “Go shower. As much as I love your smell, you loo

AMELIA “So you didn’t forget us or your way home.” Theia was grinning as she came outside. “I missed you, guys.” I hugged her tight. “How’s Ren?” “He’s fine. And you?” I shrugged. “I’ll live.” I walked towards Nora still standing in the doorway. “I’m sorry for—” “It’s fine. Glad you’re okay. I’m just worried about you.” I was surprised by her actions. She hugged me, too. I saw Ryden’s car and his bike, I supposed he was in the house, but didn’t want to see me. I swallowed, wanting my heart to stop beating so hard as I stepped inside the house. I instantly smelled his scent as I got closer to the living room. He was there all this time, listening to me and Nora. He wasn’t just eager to see me as I was to him. Nora and Theia were nowhere to be found, including Ren. They bailed out, leaving me to deal with Ryden. Ryden was resting on the couch. He had a five o’clock shadow and looked like hadn’t been touched by a razor. His hair was disheveled. His shirt was crumpled like he had

AMELIA “That’s insane. How’s it even possible?” Ryden shook his head. “Don’t answer that. There’s a lot of things we don’t know.” “Like how Amelia is alive after she died twenty years ago,” Theia said as she hopped down the truck. “Exactly. And now she has two mates.” Nora scoffed. “I heard that.” Ryden turned to her. “That guy is her past. End of story.” “Really?” Nora smiled meaningfully as she stole a glance at Lucius coming to us. “Does he look like her past? He’s alive, kicking, and strong.” “Stop it, Nora, Don’t encourage him to do something stupid.” I grabbed her by her wrist away from Ryden. Lucius came to Theia. “Is this the place?” “Yes, big guy.” She patted him on the chest before joining us. “The alpha testosterone in this place is making me dizzy. How do you manage to stay sane, best friend?” I frowned at her. “What do you mean?” “I mean, being sandwiched in two big bad hunk alphas.” I rolled my eyes. “You’re insane.” “I guess, I am. If I have men like them.”

RYDEN “No, no, no!” When Archibald screamed, I instantly knew something had gone wrong. “What’s going on, Archibald?” Lucius’s shoulders tightened. Amelia came beside me and took off her sword. The look on her face told me she’d sensed something. “Chance is hurt. The fledglings just betrayed and deceived him.” He headed towards the door. “Hey! What about my friend?” Amelia followed him. “I will kill your brother if something happens to Ren.” “I know you will, Amelia, that’s why I’m going down to help him.” “We’re coming with you,” I volunteered. “I can’t guarantee your safety.” He opened the door. “Let’s go. They’re heading up via stairs.” Lucius went behind the wet bars and dropped a duffel bag on the counter. I didn’t realize he came prepared even though Archibald was a friend. He grabbed sticks and sidearms. “Nora, Theia, and Drak stay here. Kill everyone that moves. Drak will provide you with weapons. Stay alive.” Lucius nodded at Drak, following us. “How many are they?
