All Chapters of Mated to two rival alphas : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

SHERRY..The crimson eyes held my gaze, unblinking and predatory. My heart hammered against my ribs, but for the first time in my life, I didn't curl into a ball and hide. The broken pieces of my mate's bond were still bleeding inside me, numbing me to the instinctual terror a wolf should feel when trapped by a predator."Who's there?" I called out, my voice cracking slightly.The shadow shifted and the crimson eyes moved forward, stepping out from the dense line of trees into the pale, silver moonlight.It wasn't a wolf like I had expected. it was a man.He was massive, easily crossing six feet four, with a broad, scarred chest barely concealed by a dark, unbuttoned shirt. His jawline looked as though it had been carved and dark, unruly hair fell over a brow pinched with intense scrutiny. He didn't belong to the Blood Moon pack. I knew every warrior in our ranks, and none of them possessed this kind of terrifying, magnetic presence.He stopped a few paces away, his nostrils flari

Another Alpha had just arrived.The double doors opened without force or announcement. Conversations near the entrance thinned first, then the quiet spread backward through the hall in uneven waves. Glasses paused halfway to mouths. A few of the younger wolves near the bar set their drinks down as if they had suddenly remembered they were supposed to be watching something.He walked in alone.No guards. No announcement. Just a man in a charcoal suit that fit him with the kind of precision that made everything else in the room look slightly overdone. He moved through the crowd as if the people were the ones who needed to adjust, not him.Viktor went still beside me.“Blackwood,” he said, low enough that only the people closest to us would hear it.I didn’t know the name. I knew the reaction to it. Elders straightened. One of the senior warriors near the champagne table shifted his weight like he was calculating distance and exits at the same time.The man wasn’t as tall as Jax. Leaner.

THE DANCESHERRYThe song stretched longer than I expected.Adrian kept the same measured distance he had started with, one hand light at my waist, the other holding mine without pressure. Around us the floor filled and emptied in slow turns. Camilla’s voice drifted from the edge of the room, bright and strategic. Viktor stood near the elders. Jax remained where he had been, a fixed point against the far wall. Eric had not moved far from the champagne table.Adrian looked at me the way someone looks at a map they have studied in private and are now checking against the real terrain.“You used to stand in corners,” he said.It was not a question.“I preferred them.”“I know.” He turned us once, clean and unhurried. “The girl who kept a book in front of her face so the pack would forget she was there. The one who left the hall early every time the music got loud. That girl does not exist on this floor tonight.”The specificity landed harder than a general compliment would have. He was

JAX VS ADRIANSHERRYCamilla reached us first. She took in Jax at my side with a quick, practiced smile and then glanced past him toward the group of elders still speaking with Adrian.“Perfect timing,” she said. “Alpha Adrian has been asking about the shared trade routes along the northern stretch. Viktor will want both of you in the conversation. It looks better if the visiting Alphas are seen discussing borders rather than standing on opposite sides of the room.”Jax’s expression did not change. “Lead the way.”We crossed the floor together. Conversations near us quieted by degrees as people registered the direction we were walking. Adrian finished whatever he had been saying to the eldest of the council and turned as we approached. His gaze moved from Camilla to me, then settled on Jax with the calm of someone who had already calculated the meeting and was simply waiting for it to arrive.The air between them tightened without either man raising his voice or shifting into open agg
