All Chapters of The Alpha Twins Plaything: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

ELIJAHMarcus’s words didn’t settle gently. They dropped straight into my chest like stones thrown into still water and the ripple that followed was violent.For a second, I couldn’t hear anything else. Not the scrape of Rose’s needle pulling thread through my skin. Not the way the chair creaked beneath my weight, or even the sound of my own breathing as it came in short, ragged bursts through a split lip.All I could think of was how this was my fault. If I hadn't gotten into a fight then maybe we wouldn't have been caught.My late wife always used to tell me that I had a temper but I never believed my temper would be the reason why people would lose their lives. I winced as I felt the slight jab of the needle prick from the stitching Marcus’s wife was doing. She was a nurse before the invasion and these animals refused to let her work when they took over saying a woman had no place being in the hospital. Suddenly a thought occurred to me. Marcus had said the execution would happen

ELIJAHNo one celebrated for long. The cheers that had erupted in the square when the patrol wolves fell had died the moment the adrenaline began to wear off and the pain set in.Now the backroom of Marcus’s shop reeked of blood. Marcus sat at the table with his sleeve rolled up to the shoulder while Rose threaded another needle through torn flesh.He didn’t flinch when she pushed it in but I did. The moment she touched my ribs again my vision went white and my breath punched out of my lungs in a broken wheeze.“Hold him,” she said calmly.Two men stepped forward immediately, gripping my shoulders before I could twist away.“I already stitched this,” she added sharply as she cleaned the blood away with something that burned like fire. “You reopened it when you ran.”“I didn’t run,” I rasped.She didn’t respond. Marcus gave a weak laugh beside me that ended in a hiss when Rose yanked the thread tight through his arm.“Should have,” he muttered.“We don’t have much time,” Marcus said on

AURORAThe cave had never felt this cold before. It wasn't the type of cold that crept into my bones and across my skin, it wasn't the kind that made my teeth chatter or my fingers go numb. I felt the cold deep inside my chest and I woke up with a startled gasp. It wasn't a dream, the cold was wrapped around my chest like a vice. I felt pain, sharp and sudden. It was like something invisible had hooked inside my chest and yanked at me. My fingers clawed into the thin bedding beneath me as I sat upright. The cave walls loomed around me in shadow, the faint blue glow of the enchanted markings pulsing softly along the stone like a sleeping heartbeat.They weren't steady tonight, they flickered. It was as if their magic was dying out. My breath came out too fast and the marks on my neck burned. It wasn't the warm, tingling burn I’d grown used to when Draven or Darius were near.This was different. It felt like fire pressed into my veins. I pressed my palm against my chest but it didn’

SELENEThe door slammed open so hard it rattled the hinges. Every muscle in my body went rigid.The air inside the strategy room changed instantly. It was like a storm had walked in.Malrik filled the doorway, broad shoulders blocking the light from the corridor behind him.His presence rolled into the room like a physical force, thick and suffocating, pressing against my chest until my wolf stirred uneasily beneath my ribs.His Alpha pressure was intense and intentional. He was trying to scare us… or at least scare Lyra and me ‘cause he can't scare his sons, they're equally Alphas. The sage Lyra had been burning twisted in the air as if trying to escape the room.“A little birdie told me you were having a meeting without me,” he said in a calm voice. No one spoke. We were too stunned at his presence to say a word. Lyra froze beside the table where she had been tending the sage bowl. I kept my face neutral even though my heartbeat had begun to thud painfully in my ears and I was su

AURORAThe cave had never felt so loud before. The moment I opened my eyes, I knew something was wrong.The blue markings carved into the cave walls pulsed faintly then they dimmed again. I pressed my hand against the cold stone floor, trying to steady myself, but the moment my palm touched the rock a strange sensation rushed through me.It was like touching a living thing.For a brief moment, something brushed against my mind — Wolves.Hundreds of them. Moving through the forest.My heart slammed against my ribs.“They’re looking for me,” I whispered.A distant howl rose from somewhere beyond the mountain.Then another answered it.Then another.The sound echoed through the forest like a chain reaction spreading across the land.Patrol wolves.The entire territory was searching.I pushed myself to my feet and walked toward the cave entrance. Cold night air rushed in the moment I stepped outside.The forest below stretched into darkness, the treetops swaying slowly in the wind.Somew
