บททั้งหมดของ MATED TO THE ALPHA BROTHERS : บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 49

Eliara didn't wait for Ronan to say anything else. The moment she realized he had nothing left to say, she turned around and walked back upstairs. She was still angry, and she didn't bother hiding it. She shut the door behind her harder than she intended and stood there for a moment, breathing heavily as she tried to calm herself down. She couldn't believe he had actually suggested sending her back to Velkaris. After everything that had happened, after everything she had seen and felt, he wanted her to go back and pretend she could simply return to the life she had before him. Eliara walked over to the bed and sat down, still fuming. But as the anger slowly settled, another thought came to her. The dream. She remembered the strange place she had seen while sleeping, the unfamiliar town filled with crystals and strange things, and then the woman who had appeared before her with that glowing crystal ball. She could still remember the woman's face, her unusual eyes, and the

For Eliara, the night had left her with a strange mixture of comfort and uncertainty. For a little while, she had been able to forget the questions that had been eating at her and the things she still didn't understand. Being close to Ronan had made her feel safe in a way she hadn't expected, and his words about loving her had stayed with her long after they had fallen asleep. Still, beneath that warmth was the quiet reminder that she hadn't told him everything. She hadn't told him about the dream, the strange woman who claimed to have the answers she was searching for, or the feeling that the witches' kingdom was somehow connected to her. She loved the way Ronan made her feel, but she wasn't ready to place every secret she carried in his hands. The next morning, Eliara woke beside him with the first sunlight coming through the curtains. For a few moments, she simply lay there, listening to his breathing and enjoying the rare quiet before the worries of the day returned. Eventually,

By the time they landed in Solmara, Cassian had already taken care of their disguises. He had altered their appearances enough to make them look like ordinary travelers, dimming their supernatural auras and helping Kael and Eliara conceal theirs as well. None of them wore anything that suggested royalty, and they had left behind the clothing and accessories that might have identified their positions in their respective kingdoms. They were traveling as a small group of people with no apparent connection to any royal family, and that was exactly how Cassian wanted it. Ronan's appearance had changed considerably. His violet eyes, which were usually difficult to forget once someone had seen them, had become an ordinary shade of brown. His hair looked slightly different, and the sharpness of his features had been softened enough that he no longer carried the unmistakable appearance of the Alpha King. He wore a dark, fitted jacket over a plain shirt, paired with trousers and shoes that mad

Lucian arranged for their luggage to be loaded into two cabs. Cassian took one with Kael and Lucian, while Ronan entered the other with Eliara and Liora. The driver glanced at the three of them in the back seat before looking at Ronan through the rear-view mirror. "You've picked an interesting place to visit. Traffic can be terrible around this time, but there's plenty to see if you're staying for a few days." "We'll keep that in mind," Ronan replied. The driver started talking almost immediately. He spoke about the roads, the cost of living, the best places to eat, and how the city had changed over the years. He complained about the government, praised a football team, and somehow managed to return to the subject of traffic three separate times. Ronan listened politely, offering a response whenever necessary, while Liora occasionally glanced at Eliara to hide her amusement. Eliara, however, was fascinated by the driver's ability to speak without seeming to need a break. "D

Eliara woke the following morning to the sound of traffic coming from the street below. For a few seconds, she remained beneath the covers, trying to remember where she was. The room was unfamiliar, the bed was softer than the one she was accustomed to, and the steady noise outside was nothing like the quiet mornings she knew in Noctaryn. Then she remembered. Solmara. She sat up, pushed her hair away from her face, and reached for the phone Ronan had left with her the previous evening. He had insisted that she learn how to use it, claiming it would make traveling through the human world easier. She had spent nearly twenty minutes trying to understand its basic functions before deciding that humans had a strange habit of making simple things unnecessarily complicated. Still, she had managed to learn how to check the time. It was earlier than she expected. After getting dressed, she stepped into the adjoining sitting area, where Liora was already awake and scrolling through her ow
