All Chapters of The Alpha Twins Moon Jewel: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The rest of the day passed in a blur.I tried reading one of the books I'd borrowed from the library downstairs. I made it through the same page four times without remembering a single sentence.I tried watching television.Every news channel had somehow found a new way to discuss the Choosing. So I turned it off.Instead, I found myself sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows, my knees tucked beneath my chin as I watched the city below. People walked to work. Cars filled the streets. Somewhere in the distance, children laughed in a nearby park.The elevator chimed more times than I could count throughout the afternoon. Guards came and went with clipped conversations, each one reporting something to Rafe before disappearing again.Rafe himself never wandered too far. He wasn't besides me. He even wasn't talking to me.But he never left the room for long either.Sometimes he stood near the fireplace, reading through something on his tablet.Sometimes he made coffee.Sometimes he disapp

By the time Basil arrived the next day, the sun had already disappeared behind the buildings.I had spent the last couple of hours trying not to think about what he might tell me, but my efforts hadn't worked.The elevator chimed, and I looked up from the sofa.Duke stepped out first.Then Basil.He looked almost exactly as he had during the Choosing, dressed in an immaculate suit with that polished smile I'd seen on stage.Except there was no smile today. His expression was serious as he approached."Alphas."Rafe stood from the armchair. "Basil. We appreciate you coming at such short notice."Emmett remained beside the fireplace, his arms folded.Basil nodded. "I've been waiting for your call."His eyes found me, and he gave me a respectful nod. "And I imagine Ms. Jacobs has questions."I swallowed. "A few."Rafe gestured toward the sofa. "Sit."Basil took

Time seemed to stand still as the elevator doors opened. Valentin Sinclair stepped into the penthouse dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit, his dark hair neatly styled and his expression as composed as usual.Only this time, he wasn't standing beneath the lights of the Choosing.And he wasn't looking at a room full of women.He was looking at me.My eyes lowered to what he was holding.Flowers. A beautiful bouquet of white roses rested in one hand.I blinked in confusion."You must be joking," Emmett muttered, looking at Sinclair. Rafe only crossed his arms, his expression failing to mask irritation.Basil, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa, suddenly looked like he wanted to disappear.Sinclair's eyes moved across the room.They stopped on Basil.His expression changed almost imperceptibly. "Basil."Basil swallowed. "My Lord."Sinclair stared at him. Then at the twins. Then back at Basil."I wasn't aware you'd been appointed ambassador to the werewolves."Emmett's lips t

I hadn't realized how much I missed Maya until I saw her.The moment I stepped through the restaurant doors, she nearly knocked me over."Yasmin!" Her arms wrapped around me before I could say anything.I laughed, hugging her back just as tightly. "Oh my God, I missed you so much. I can't believe it's been only three days.""I missed you too!" She pulled away, grabbing my shoulders and looking me over. "Look at you."I frowned. "What?""You've been on the news for days."I groaned.Maya laughed. "Don't do that. Do you know how many times I've seen your face while changing channels?""I'd rather not know."She pulled me toward one of the tables. "I have about a thousand questions.""I figured."She sat across from me. "So..."I already knew where this was going."How was the Choosing?"I hesitated. "It was... overwhelming.""Clearly." She lowered her voice. "And what about the two ridiculously attractive werewolves? How are they treating you? I hope they didn't make you their maid."I

I woke up alone.For a moment, I simply stared at the ceiling, trying to remember where I was.Then I felt the black sheets besides me.Emmett's room.I remembered last night. The conversation we had, his warm hand in mine. The way he'd stayed besides me until I fell asleep.I climbed out of bed and made my way towards the dining area. The smell of breakfast reached me before I did.I followed it eagerly. As I entered the kitchen area, I came to a halt. There were a lot more people in the kitchen today.Rafe was sitting at the table, sipping on some coffee. Emmett was besides him, spreading butter on a slice of toast. Duke was across from them, biting into an apple. And there was someone else.Someone I knew.My eyes widened. "No way. Elena?"The woman looked up, and her face lit up instantly. "Yasmin!"She pushed her chair back and hurried towards me.I barely had time to react before she wrapped her arms around me.I laughed, hugging her back. "What are you doing here?""I came to
