All Chapters of Fated to the Alphas: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The next morning, I tried to keep my distance from everyone…especially the quadruplets. My body ached with a strange restlessness I couldn’t explain. Every shadow seemed to carry the faintest trace of their presence. Every whisper of wind felt like a brush of hands I didn’t want, and yet couldn’t escape.I worked through the morning chores in silence, head down, heart hammering for reasons I didn’t understand. My wolf hadn’t awakened yet, but the bond throbbed in my chest as if it already had. I couldn’t run from it. Not now. Not ever.I was scrubbing the floor near the training grounds when I felt it…a familiar shift in the air. The faint click of boots against stone. I froze.Axel.He appeared at the edge of the yard, watching silently. I wanted to duck into the shadows, to avoid him completely, but I couldn’t. My body reacted before my mind could catch up. My pulse jumped, and a warmth spread across my skin, subtle but undeniable.He took a step closer. I flinched, but he didn’t st

The night was quiet, almost too quiet, when I finally returned to my room. The overwhelming reality of being bound to four Alphas. I collapsed onto my bed, curling up like I used to when the world felt too heavy.I tried to ignore the pull I felt deep in my chest…the strange heat, the tug of something I couldn’t name. I didn’t know if it was fear, anger… or something else entirely.A soft knock at my door made me jump.“Aria… can I come in?”“Axel,” I whispered.What did he want again He stepped inside without waiting for an answer, moving slowly, almost like he didn’t want to disturb the fragile silence of the room. The air shifted as soon as he entered…warmer, heavier, magnetic.“I just… wanted to check on you,” he said softly, eyes searching mine.I bit my lip, unsure how to respond. “I’m fine,” I lied, though I could feel the lie in my bones.He moved a little closer, closer than anyone had ever dared. “You’re not,” he said quietly. “I can feel it. The bond… it’s there, Aria. It’

I was supposed to be strong.I was the first of my brothers.The one who held everything together.The one who didn’t break.At least, that’s who I always told myself I was.But standing here now, sitting on the edge of my bed like a damn fool, staring at the wall as if it had answers… I scoffed.Because look at me.Look at where I am.A mess.All because of a girl I hadn’t even seen once.I dragged a hand down my face and let out a slow breath. I hated this feeling. I hated the loss of control. I hated the way she had slipped into my mind and refused to leave.I didn’t even know her voice.I didn’t know her face.I didn’t know anything except her scent… and the way my entire world shifted the moment it reached me.Her scent was soft, warm, something I couldn’t explain. Sometimes it reminded me of rain hitting hot soil. Sometimes it reminded me of something sweeter. It didn’t make sense, and yet nothing had ever made more sense to me.I smelled her everywhere now.Even when she wasn’t

I didn’t want to accept it. I didn’t even want to think about it. But everything was starting to feel real… too real. The damn bond, the way my chest tightened every time her name was mentioned, the way my brothers reacted to her… all of it made it impossible to pretend anymore.The girl I hated with everything in me…The girl I treated like she was nothing…Somehow became someone we couldn’t live without.Someone I couldn’t live without.I didn’t understand it. I didn’t want to.And when I heard Aiden call her “his,” something ugly and sharp rose inside me. A kind of jealousy I had never felt before. Not for a girl. Not for a friend. Not for anyone.It burned.It made my jaw clench and my hands shake.How the hell could he say that?How could he claim something that wasn’t his alone?We were quadruplets… we shared everything. We were born together, raised together, trained together. No one claimed anything without the others.But when it came to Aria, everything was falling apart.I

Malrick’s PovI had seen wars.I had seen rebellions, bloodshed, even the fall of an entire allied pack.But nothing…nothing…terrified me like what I had just witnessed through the small hole in my bedroom door.I stepped back from it slowly, breathing hard, my pulse thundering in my ears.“No… no…” I whispered, dragging a hand through my hair. “This is all wrong.”I turned toward Grace…my Luna…my partner in decisions that shaped our entire pack. Except right now, she looked too calm for my liking, sitting at the edge of the bed applying oil to her wrists like we were discussing the weather.“Grace,” I snapped, my voice cracking with fear I hadn’t felt in years. “Can’t you see what’s happening?”She didn’t even look up.So I kept talking…louder this time.“They’re falling for her.”The words tasted bitter, like poison.“All four of them. And not slowly…no, not like normal bond progression. This is happening too fast. Too strong.” I began pacing, heavy strides back and forth across the
