All Chapters of Hooked Between the Alpha Twins: Chapter 11 - Chapter 15

Alberto’s POVThe moon was high and it casted an eerie glow on the road as I rode through the marshes alone. I had lied to everyone to leave the pack house. I needed to see a witch who would help me find Sapphire. The guards believed I was heading to the northern borders for council. Fools. I had no interest in politics tonight. My soul itched with rage, and my blood burned with the need to find her. At this point, I cared less about any other thing. She ran from me. From me. And no one runs from the Alpha Supreme without consequence.I reached the base of the Hollow Hills just before midnight. The trees parted like they were making way. A faint hum hung in the air. It sounded low and ancient. I dismounted and approached the stone arch carved with runes long forgotten by my kind. She was waiting.The witch I mean.She stood by a fire that burned without smoke. Her robes were dark, her face was veiled, but I could feel her eyes.“You came alone,” she confirmed.“This stays between

Sapphire’s POV Kael sighed and sat beside me. "A long time ago, when I served under Alberto, I wasn’t just a guard. I was trained for something else, something darker. The High Council used me to find and silence threats. I was an enforcer, Sapphire. I did things I’m not proud of. I followed orders without question.

Because I knew you didn’t deserve any of this."I stared at him, heart thudding, unsure if I should be relieved or more afraid."Why didn’t you tell me sooner?""I thought you’d leave," he admitted.

Kael's POVMy breath caught in my throat as I looked into the dark eyes of the man I called Alpha. He had a small smile on his face, but I could tell he was not pleased from the clench of his fist and the furrow in his brows."I asked a question, Kael," he prompted, raising a brow."Alpha Alberto, it's an unexpected visit you've paid us." I decided to go for playing oblivious instead. My heart was already beating rapidly within my chest. How was I supposed to help us escape him? Every tactic I knew, he knew already. Everything I could do, he could do better. This was a lose-lose, but Sapphire did not need to know that. I made a promise to her, and I was going to keep it."Don't be a fool," Alberto snapped, his smile gone from his face. "I didn't come here to play games. Sapphire, let's go.""I'm not going anywhere with you," she responded, causing both of us to glance her way immediately."What?" Alberto asked.
