All Chapters of Fated to the Alphas: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Adrian’s povI felt like I was going to lose myself.Her neck was visible from where she sat in the car, soft skin glowing beneath the morning light, and her scent… Goddess, her scent was everywhere. It wrapped around me like warm silk, clawing into every inch of my control. All I wanted…truly wanted was to lean forward, bury my face in the curve of her neck, and breathe her in until I drowned in it.And Aiden…I caught him occasionally staring at her, jaw tight, eyes dark. He felt it too. He tried to hide it better, but I’d known him all my life. I’d never seen him look at anyone the way he looked at her. Not with longing. Not with hunger. Not with that quiet fear of losing control.The car slowed, then halted in front of the academy. Aria looked like she was about to jump out before the vehicle even stopped moving. Her fingers trembled, her breathing was uneven… and then I smelled it.Her arousal.My lips twitched into a smirk.She felt it too. Whatever was happening between us, it

Aria’s povThe class dragged on sluggishly. I tried to focus. Really, I did. But my mind kept drifting. My thoughts were tangled between Aiden’s dark intensity, Adrian’s smoldering calm, Asher’s teasing charm, and Axel’s quiet, comforting presence and the pull of their bond that refused to let me think straight. Even Eli, sitting beside me, speaking quietly about the lesson, couldn’t anchor me.I stared at the board, letters blurring. I caught snippets of the teacher’s voice, but it sounded distant…like underwater. My pencil hovered uselessly above the notebook, untouched.And then it happened.“Aria, can you answer the question?” the teacher’s voice cut sharply through my fog.I jolted, heart in my throat. All eyes were on me. The board showed the formula we were supposed to be discussing, and I… I didn’t remember a thing.My mouth opened, closed, opened again. Nothing came out.A few snickers rose from the class. My ears burned. I could feel the heat rushing up my neck. My face flu

Aria’s POVAiden led us through the back hallway, away from the cafeteria, the noise, and the stares.None of them spoke. None of them pushed for answers. They simply walked with me, forming a quiet shield around my trembling body.Finally, Asher opened a door at the far end of the corridor.A small rooftop garden.Hidden. Warm. Peaceful.A place only a handful of students knew about.The sunlight spilled across the flowers, the wind gentle and sweet. My shoulders sagged, tension melting off me.“We’ll be down the hall,” Aiden said, voice firm.“But if anything happens,” Adrian added darkly, “call.”I almost laughed. Adrian’s definition of “anything” probably meant someone breathing wrong near me.Asher winked before leaving. “Don’t run away from us, little wolf.”Then the door closed, and only Axel remained.I didn’t even realize I’d exhaled until my breath shook.Axel watched me quietly, hands in his pockets, brows furrowed with tender worry he didn’t bother to hide.“You okay?” he

Aria’s PovI fled home…literally fled. I wasn’t ready for another round of awkwardness, heated stares, or the tangled pull of the bond with any of my mates. I needed space. Air. A moment where my heartbeat wasn’t dictated by four different people.So the second the bell rang, I bolted like a thief escaping the scene.But the moment I reached the doorstep of the pack house, dread punched me in the stomach.I should’ve waited for them. I should’ve come home with my mates.Because standing at the door…arms folded, legs crossed, posture sharp enough to cut…was Luna Grace.“Well, well, well… look who we have here,” she drawled, eyeing me like dirt dragged in from the street.Oh God. Not now. Please, not now.“Uhm… Luna Grace,” I whispered, dipping into a curtsey out of sheer instinct.She scoffed loudly. “Oh spare me that nonsense.”Her eyes flicked over me with pure disgust. “So, I hear you’ve been parading around school with my sons. Acting like you’re their mate. Their forced mate.”“No

Aria’s PovI was alone in my room after everyone had left like a while ago. I settled in, thinking why I chose Aiden to go on a date with first. If I was supposed to pick someone from the one that I actually liked, it was supposed to be Axel. But something…Something drew me to Aiden. The fact that he oozes authority, the way he leads and takes charge, it did something to my belly. The way he looks at me, with that dark look in his eyes. It felt like he was stripping me naked with his eyes.I bit my lips unconsciously, what was wrong with me? I gave a small smile, and turned around just to see him looking at me. I jumped and gasped. “Oh my goodness, Aiden! You scared me!” I squealed “Uhh, I knocked before coming in. You looked lost in thought” he said, moving close to me, slow, controlled, like a predator careful not to pounce too soon with that look i was talking about earlier.“Aiden…” I whispered. He got so close to me, I could smell him. “Let’s go,” he said, voice impossibly lo
