All Chapters of Divorced and mated to the Lycan Twins: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

NORAHeavy, wet breathing echoed directly behind my ears.Running blindly through the thick pine trees, the freezing snow tore at my bare feet. My lungs burned with every single desperate gasp. The dark forest was completely silent except for the terrifying sound of massive, heavy footsteps crushing the frozen ground right behind me.Keep moving, my brain screamed.Tripping over a hidden tree root, I crashed hard into the snow. The freezing wetness soaked instantly through my thin nightgown. Scrambling to my hands and knees, I desperately tried to push myself back up.A deafening, guttural roar shook the trees.Spinning around, I saw him.Kai exploded out of the dark bushes. He wasn't in his human form. He was shifted into his massive, golden Lycan form. His fur practically glowed in the moonlight, and his amber eyes burned with absolute, lethal rage. Snarling viciously, he completely ignored me and lunged directly over my head."Kai, no!" I screamed, shielding my face with my arms.H

KAI’S POV KAI"They are completely blind out there!" Gideon’s voice echoed loudly through the SUV speakers.Tires spinning aggressively in the wet mud, Halil kept his foot slammed on the gas pedal. I sat in the passenger seat, my heart hammering violently against my ribs."ETA is two minutes," Halil barked into the dashboard comms. "Tell the backup units to flank the eastern ridge. Nobody moves until we hit the front line.""Understood, Alpha," Gideon replied before the line clicked shut.Adrenaline flooded my veins like liquid fire. My inner wolf paced frantically, clawing at my chest, completely desperate to get out. Staring out the windshield, the thick gray fog swallowed the headlights. We were driving entirely blind.Slamming the brakes, the heavy armored SUV skidded sideways into the gravel parking lot of the western checkpoint.Kicking my door open, I leaped out into the freezing cold.Dozens of foot soldiers were already there. They stood in human form, holding heavy assault

THIRD PERSON’S POV Slapping a metal tool into his hand, a nurse wiped sweat from the doctor's forehead."Pressure is bottoming out!" the anesthesiologist warned from the head of the table. "Sixty over forty. Fifty over thirty. He is crashing, Doctor!""Push epinephrine!" Aris shouted, desperately trying to stitch the torn pulmonary artery together. "Come on, Kai. Fight it. Let your wolf do the heavy lifting!"But Kai’s wolf was silent. The beast's claws had done something unnatural, poisoning the Lycan’s innate ability to heal.Suddenly, the rapid, frantic beeping of the heart monitor shifted. It slowed down into three sluggish, heavy thuds.Beep... Beep... Beep...Then, one long, continuous, terrifying tone pierced the quiet room.BEEEEEEEEEEEP."He flatlined!" the anesthesiologist screamed. "We lost the pulse!""Start compressions!" Aris roared, dropping his tools entirely.A nurse jumped onto a step stool, locking her hands over Kai’s shattered sternum. She pushed down hard, despe

NORA’S POVPressing my spine hard against the cold plaster wall, I held my breath.Hiding inside a cramped supply alcove just down the hall from the ICU, I peaked through a narrow gap between a stack of sterile towel boxes. I hadn't left the medical wing. After Emrys dismissed my claim that Kai moved his finger, she went to find Halil. Now, the entire hallway was an absolute war zone."Do not lie to us, Halil!" Elder Rossi’s voice boomed down the corridor, dripping with pure panic and rage. "My nephew works in the blood bank! He said the King flatlined on the table! He is on a damn ventilator!""Keep your voice down, Rossi," Halil growled, his tone vibrating with lethal warning.Looking through the gap, I saw Halil standing like a massive stone wall in front of Kai’s room. He had finally put on a clean black shirt, but his eyes were bloodshot and completely wild. Grandma Emrys stood right beside him, leaning heavily on her silver cane to face down five furious council members."We hav

NORA’S POVPurple bruises bloomed across my pale wrists, shaped exactly like Kai’s massive fingers.Cold air leaked through the cracked window of my tiny room, biting at my bare arms. Sitting on the edge of the lumpy mattress, I traced the dark marks with a numb finger. They throbbed with a dull, steady ache. But the physical pain was absolutely nothing compared to the heavy, suffocating emptiness hollowing out my chest.He blamed me.After everything that happened, after I poured my own soul into his freezing skin to drag him back from the dead, Kai looked at me like I was a disease. He accused me of bringing the shadow beast to his borders.Rubbing my tired eyes, a bitter, broken laugh escaped my throat.There was no saving these men. For weeks, I had foolishly hoped they were just misunderstood. I thought underneath all the arrogant, toxic Alpha bullshit, they actually had a shred of humanity left. But I was wrong. The Virelli twins were entirely broken. They were absolute slaves t
