Semua Bab Twin Flames: Claimed By The Ruthless Alphas: Bab 11 - Bab 17

ASTRID POVThe crescent moon shimmered against my skin, delicate and unreal. My breath caught as I stared at it.It was the same mark Kael had burned from me all those years ago. The one he told me never to speak of. I used to think maybe I imagined it—that it was just some trauma-scabbed memory clinging to me. But it was real. It had always been real.And now it was back.How? Why now?The symbol pulsed softly, almost like it was breathing. I was so lost in thought I didn’t notice Kendrick and Kaiden staring at me until I finally looked up.Kendrick looked like he’d seen a ghost. Kaiden’s eyes had narrowed, calculating. There was something in their silence that chilled me more than the mark.They exchanged a glance. Then silence.I knew they were speaking through the mind-link. I could see it on their faces.What aren’t they saying?Kendrick blinked and finally spoke. "This is..."He trailed off."Strange?" I finished. My voice sounded small. "Kael burned this off when I was eight. H

ASTRID POV"How are your eyes now?" Kaiden asked gently.I blinked up at him from where we lay on the bed, still feeling a little raw, but warm and safe. The glass that had cut into my face earlier had healed completely, but the memory of it still clung to my skin."It doesn’t hurt anymore," I whispered, my voice smaller than I wanted it to be.We were in a different room now.

Rain followed, steady and cold.Kaiden got up briefly to shut the windows, sealing out the chill, and then returned to my side, tucking the blanket up around my shoulders. His hand slid around my waist, grou

ASTRID – FIRST PERSON POVThe moment my symbol touched Kendrick’s skin, a blinding light flashed across the room—and then he was gone. Thrown.I screamed as the force flung him away from me like he weighed nothing, and my hands reached instinctively for Kaiden.But the second I touched him, something else happened—something just as strange.Kaiden winced, and his hand flew to his side like he’d just been stung. His breath caught in his throat as he looked down. At first, I thought he was hurt. But then I saw the shock in his expression. His eyes widened and his mouth fell slightly open in disbelief.His fingers came away slick, but not with blood. They were clean. And then I realized what he was seeing.The wound.The wound Kael had given him in the fight—it was gone.He turned his body, staring down at his bare side, sweeping his hand over the spot again and again like he couldn’t believe it. The scar. The bruises. The blood. Every trace of it—all gone. His skin was flawless."You he
