All Chapters of Claimed by the alpha twins : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

A strange scream echoed from the training grounds and pulled Nora running.She reached the field fast, heart in her throat. "Mia? Jake? What happened?"Mia stood ten years old and tall for her age. She brushed dirt off her knees. "Mom, I made the light too big. It knocked Jake down."Jake grinned from the ground. "I am fine. But wow, sis. That was strong."Nora knelt beside them quick. Years of peace had let the empire grow into new lands. But watching her kids train their special gifts brought both pride and sharp worry.Blake jogged over from the wall repairs. "Heard the noise. Everyone okay?"Drew followed close behind, maps still in his hand. "Training looks intense today. Talk to us, Nora."Nora helped Jake up. "They push hard. I feel proud but scared too. Their powers grow fast."Blake ruffled Jake's hair. "Proud here as well. But we keep it safe. No solo practice."Drew nodded. "Yeah. We guide every step. Now about the new territories."The family walked together toward the mai

Bullets whistled past Nora's head as she slammed her back against the crumbling stone wall. Heart pounding, she gripped the child's small hand tighter. "We are not dying here today," she said, voice steady even as fear clawed at her throat.Blake crouched beside her, his eyes scanning the narrow alley filled with enemy soldiers. "Nora, there are too many. Drew, you see any way out on your side?"Drew pressed against the opposite wall, his breath coming in short bursts. "They have us boxed in. But listen, the kid just whispered something about a hidden path under the old market. We have got to move now."The child, a boy no older than ten with wide curious eyes, looked up at Nora. "I can feel them coming. But I can help. Watch this." Without waiting, he raised his tiny hands. A sudden gust of wind whipped through the alley, knocking two guards off their feet and sending their weapons flying.Nora's eyes widened. "That was you? How did you get so strong so fast?"The boy grinned shyly.

A sudden crack split the training ground as Lily's new power flared out of control. "What is happening to me?" she shouted, staring at the glowing marks on her hands.Nora rushed over from the palace steps, her queen's robe trailing behind. "Lily, breathe. Max, step back. We handle this together."Max crossed his arms, his teenage frame tense. "Mom, why do our powers feel different? I do not want to just follow the pack rules anymore. It is like something inside pulls me another way."Blake approached from the fields, wiping sweat from a morning drill. "Kids, easy. Nora, they question everything these days. Drew thinks we should tighten the pack structure. I say give them room."Drew joined quickly, his expression concerned. "Blake, you always push for loose rules. Nora, as queen you decide. But we are equals here. What is your take?"Nora placed hands on both twins' shoulders. "Balance, like always. Lily and Max enter tough years. I mediate this as their mother and your partner. Lily

The visionary realm pulled Nora deeper into swirling mists as phantom voices whispered regrets from her past. "I cannot lose them," she called out, pushing through illusions of failed choices.Back in the chamber, Blake gripped the artifact hard. "Nora, hear us. We anchor you with the bond. Drew, focus your energy now."Drew placed hands beside his. "Equals in this. Kids, your abilities stabilize it. Lily, vines to hold the glow. Max, winds to guide her back."Lily concentrated fast. "Mom, we feel you. Our powers grow stronger. Max, link with me."Max nodded, creating gentle currents. "Got it. Blake, talk to her. She needs our voices."Nora wandered the illusions, facing a scene of Blake turning away. "You chose wrong," the phantom Blake said. "Our family broke.""No, that is fear talking," Nora replied firmly. "Our bond holds real."Blake shouted louder. "Nora, remember our equal partnership. I fear nothing with you. Come home. Drew and I work together perfect."Drew added, "Your vis

Nora stood at the border line with the challenge burning in her ears. "I must decide fast," she said. "Alone might save the empire but risks everything."Blake stepped forward fierce. "No way alone, Nora. We refuse. Drew, back me up. Kids, speak your hearts."Drew pulled close. "Equals mean we go together. Nora, trust runs both ways. Lily and Max, tell her."Lily grabbed her hand. "Mom, no. We train too hard. Heritage says family stays. Max, say it."Max nodded strong. "Unity or nothing. Emotional talks needed now. Mom, fears shared make us tight."Nora sighed deep. "You all pull at my heart. Decision weighs heavy. Blake, your thoughts full?"Blake replied, "Trust means no solo risks. Drew and I support your lead but not alone. Kids, heritage values say together."Drew added, "Emotional truth here. Nora, our bond peaks when united. Lily, Max, share how you feel."Lily spoke soft. "Love and trust keep us strong. Mom, you balance queen and mom. We refuse to watch you go."Max continued,
