บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha Twins Plaything: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

DRAVENI've always been a picture of order while Darius was the chaotic one. I strived to pull him in and bring him back to control because I knew what our father put him through. My visions have always been very accurate, too, because I always knew what was happening and was one step ahead. That was why when I saw Rory for the first time I knew she was my mate. Even though my brother had shared her with me and half the time I wanted nothing more than to beat him up I couldn't because for some odd reason I enjoyed it. I never once imagined that I would have to restrain myself against my mate. The elders were rarely around us, so I knew it wouldn't be an issue to hide it. But with Malrik back from the dead it was like everything had taken a turn for the worse and there was nothing else I could do other than to listen to Darius’s words and stay far away from my mate. For days I stayed away from Rory avoiding her like a plague while I felt everything she was going through, every sin

AURORAMy feet had barely touched the ground when the guards dragged me through the corridors as my injured arm bled onto the stone.Every step sent a burning ache through my ribs as they dragged me through, not letting me walk on my own but none of them slowed down. “Malrik, this is ridiculous!” Darius was yelling behind us. Malrik ignored him and gestured to one of the guards, “Round up the pack members to come to the courtyard. We have to give her an audience for her punishment.”I whimpered, even though I was trying to stay strong but the blood loss from my injury and the anxiety of the punishment made me feel faint. I've been punished severely over the last few days. I didn't know if I still had it in me to take in another punishment much less a hundred strokes of cane. “Please, Alpha Malrik!” I finally begged, my voice breaking at the end. I hated that I was giving in to them but there was nothing I could do now. I've been shocked by the collar, starved, dehydrated, locked

AURORAThe last thing I remembered was being squashed against soft black fur as the trees and wind whistled in my eyesight before I passed out. At first, I thought I was dead because that was the only explanation that made sense but the pain was still there.My body was heavy, numb in places and painful in others, and when I tried to breathe, my lungs protested as if they were filled with fire and smoke. I opened my eyes to see myself in a green pasture. The trees, branches, and leaves were all a beautiful green pasture and the skies were above me. It was gorgeous scenery. I blinked slowly, my vision swimming. The world tilted and spun, and for a terrifying second I thought I was falling but I wasn’t.I was lying on something uneven and soft, like moss, grass, or fallen leaves, damp with morning dew. The air was cold as I sucked in a breath and gasped immediately, my back erupting in agony.“Oh—” The sound broke out of me, raw and hoarse, barely a voice at all.Every inch of me hu

MALRIKSilence followed the chaos the moment Draven stormed away with his two shadows.It wasn’t peace. It was the kind of silence that crawled under the skin, filled with judgment, fear, and uncertainty. The pack didn’t know where to look, so they looked at me.The courtyard still reeked of blood. It soaked into the stone where my guard’s body lay crumpled and headless, limbs twisted at an unnatural angle. The whipping post still stood at the center, the rope swaying gently in the breeze, empty now.Only moments ago, the human girl had been tied there, but now she was gone.I stood perfectly still, hands clasped behind my back, spine straight, expression calm. I could feel the pack watching me from the edges of their fear. The pack members froze mid-breath, servants were pressed flat against the wall, and the elders were whispering behind their hands. No one spoke because no one dared to but I knew they all had questions. The same question was running through my mind. I inhaled slo

DRAVENI felt her pain before I felt anything else. It slammed into my chest like a blade driven straight through bone, sharp and unforgiving, stealing the air from my lungs.I staggered mid-stride, claws ripping into the dirt as my wolf howled inside me, wild and frantic.‘She’s dying,’ my wolf snarled. I knew my wolf's panic wasn't exaggerated because I could feel the pulse in the mate bond, and it was getting weaker. The bond screamed as Rory’s agony burned through my veins, her fear curling around my spine, her body breaking under each strike.I tried to mindlink Darius but I knew he wouldn't want me to get involved. He'd say I should keep quiet and stay away, else he would have told me himself if something was wrong with Rory. So instead I mindlinked Selene. ‘What’s happening to Rory?’ Her response came almost instantly. ‘They’re in the courtyard. Malrik ordered a public flogging of her.’The world narrowed as my vision dimmed and I wobbled slightly, trying to keep my anger i
