All Chapters of His Three Alphas: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

CHAPTER 42ROWANLater that night I wasn’t feeling well at all and the discomfort started so gradually that at first I thought it was just leftover stress from the day piling up on me until my head began to throb with a steady pounding ache that made every light in the room feel too bright and every sound too loud. I tried lying still on the bed with my eyes closed and a cool cloth over my forehead but the pain only grew sharper and soon my whole body felt hot like someone had turned the temperature in the room up to unbearable levels even though the air conditioning was running full blast. Sweat started beading on my skin and soaking into my shirt and shorts until the fabric clung uncomfortably and I had to peel them off because even the lightest material felt like it was suffocating me.My skin prickled everywhere with sensitivity and every brush of the sheets against my thighs or stomach sent little shocks of sensation straight to my groin until I was painfully hard and leaking ste

DANTE I had searched the entire east wing twice over and still found no sign of Rowan, which irritated me more than I cared to admit because the boy had become something of a habit in my thoughts lately and the fact that he was nowhere to be found after the events of the previous night left a sharp edge of unease in my chest that I refused to name as concern. I strode through the corridors with my usual measured pace, my boots echoing against the marble floors while servants and guards alike stepped aside quickly whenever they caught sight of my face, but none of them had seen him either and their nervous denials only fueled the growing frustration that simmered just beneath my carefully maintained calm. I had checked the gardens, the library, even the small balcony off the east tower where he sometimes liked to sit and stare at the horizon like he was plotting an escape, but the spaces were empty and silent and the absence of him felt heavier than it should have for someone who was

CHAPTER 46ROWANThree days of excruciating pain had passed in a blur of fever, heat, and the constant ache that made every breath feel like fire running through my veins, and when I finally opened my eyes this morning the room felt strangely quiet and cool like the storm inside me had finally broken thanks to Percival’s relentless care and the heavy doses of medicine he had given me every few hours without fail. My body still felt tender and sensitive but the burning need that had consumed me for days was gone, replaced by a deep exhaustion that made my limbs heavy and my mind slow as I blinked up at the ceiling and tried to remember exactly where I was and how long I had been here. The private ward was dim and peaceful with the curtains drawn to block out the bright morning light, and the only sound was the soft hum of the air conditioning and the gentle beep of a monitor that tracked my vitals from the side of the bed.Percival was sitting in the chair beside me with a clipboard in

CHAPTER 48 ROWAN The next morning I woke up slowly to the feeling of someone gently shaking my shoulder and the sound of Varynia’s voice filling the room with that bright, worried energy she always carried when she was fussing over someone she cared about. I blinked my eyes open and found her sitting on the edge of my bed with her blonde hair tied back in a messy ponytail and her face close to mine as she looked at me with wide blue eyes full of concern that made my chest feel warm despite everything that had happened. She was already talking fast before I could even say good morning, her words tumbling out in a rush while her hands checked my forehead and then my cheeks like she needed to make sure I was really okay. “Rowan, thank gods you are finally awake,” she said quickly, her voice soft but urgent as she brushed a strand of hair away from my face. “I have been so worried about you. You disappeared for days and no one would tell me anything except that you were sick and in

CHAPTER 50 KADE I had been worried about Rowan and I stood up. When I finally made my way to his room that evening, the guards outside stepped aside without question. I pushed the door open quietly and stepped inside, finding Rowan sitting up in bed with a book in his hands, his hair still a little messy from sleep and his lean body relaxed against the pillows. He looked better than the last time I had seen him, but there was still a faint flush on his cheeks and a tiredness in his eyes that made me want to pull him close and keep him safe from whatever had been hurting him. Rowan sat up straighter when he saw me, closing the book and setting it aside on the nightstand as he looked at me with those wide eyes that always seemed to see more than they should. “Kade,” he said softly, his voice warm but cautious. I walked straight to the bed, sat down on the edge, and reached for him without hesitation, pulling him onto my lap so he straddled my thighs with his legs on either sid
