Semua Bab The Two Alphas Who Want Me: Bab 11 - Bab 18

Kaiden was stunned hearing my words, “You’re serious?” he asked, as if he couldn’t believe my naive answer.I looked at his expression, that smirk.“Tsk, you don’t believe me!” I complained while trying to free myself from his grip again.I heard Benjamin groan, seems like he had regained consciousness. “Mina... Don’t go, don’t trust him...” Benjamin groaned in pain.Kaiden pulled me back again, looking into my eyes, “I believe you, but don’t you want to break free from that false hope? Make your own destiny, Mina. And accept the truth. No child should have to wait a day, let alone 16 years, just to find out whether they’re loved,” Kaiden explained earnestly.I swallowed hard, just as hard as accepting the reality coming out of Kaiden’s mouth.I knew that fact, but I didn’t want to admit it.It’s not easy to believe that your presence in the world was never wanted, so how are you supposed to live each day believing you’re not worth it?I struggled against Kaiden, “Let me go,” I asked.

The morning had arrived. I stared at the dead trees through the window. Who would've thought that even after the sun had risen, Stormsurge still looked like a ghost town?There’s nothing drastically different in the geography compared to Wavecrest. The only thing separating the two packs is a physical wall—man-made, not a natural landscape.So why does the environment feel so different? As if... Stormsurge and Wavecrest are separated by some kind of giant magic wall... making it seem like they belong to entirely different dimensions.Knock. Knock.The knock on the door broke me out of my daydream.‘Oh no, is that Alpha Krugan? Shit, I'm not ready to deal with his weird energy this early,’ I grumbled to myself.‘Nope, Mina, that’s our mate,’ Thora murmured with a yawn. She still sounded half-asleep after her long rest.Her sense of smell must’ve just kicked in—no wonder I couldn’t tell who was at the door before.‘At least one of us got her beauty sleep,’ I teased.‘Sorry... my brain w

I gasped when I felt Kaiden’s skin touch mine—it wasn’t just warm, it was hot!His skin felt like it was burning against mine, not to mention the loud pounding of my heart that echoed in my ears, thudding so hard that I suddenly felt light-headed, swept away by the sensation that came just from touching Kaiden.“Erm...” I mumbled, dazed. Both of my hands were still guarding my chest, which was only covered by a bra. I was still very inexperienced when it came to intimacy!‘God help me! I have no idea what to do! I must look so embarrassing in front of Kaiden,’ I cursed inwardly.“Kaiden!” I screamed when he suddenly hugged me tightly and lifted my body until my feet no longer touched the cold, rocky ground.“Haha, this is a welcome ritual for new Stormsurge residents. If you can swim through the waterfall curtain and take shelter behind it, you pass,” Kaiden explained.That signature smirk of his lingered on his lips, making him look dangerously tempting.“N—no, Kaiden! It must be fre

“Girlfriend, Kaiden? Did you really just call me your ‘girlfriend’?” Savi barked, her voice laced with betrayal and disbelief.“Y-yeah, I mean—my mate. You’re my only mate,” Kaiden rushed to correct himself.Wow. Guess I’ve grown numb, because all I could do was scoff hearing that word come out of Kaiden’s mouth. Mate. What a joke.Turns out, men really are all the same—too quick to toss sweet words to whatever woman happens to be standing in front of them.Because from the way he said it, I could tell—Kaiden truly cared about that girl. He was terrified of losing her.So why the hell did he treat me like I meant something too? Or was I just... pathetic? Clinging onto love like it was sacred, while he handed it out like cheap candy?I stepped out from my hiding spot on the stairs. I didn’t care anymore. Let them know I was eavesdropping. Let them burn in awkward silence.Both Savi and Kaiden froze when they saw me.Savi quickly looked away, her face a portrait of quiet heartbreak. She
