All Chapters of The Alpha Twins Plaything: Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

AURORAThe courtyard remained silent after Malrik’s revelation, but it wasn’t the same kind of silence as before.Earlier, people had been shocked.Now they were trying to make sense of what they were hearing.I knew I was.For years, the story had been simple. My mother abandoned her life, disappeared into the Hollow Lands, and left everything behind. It wasn’t a pleasant story, but at least it made sense.Now every version of that story seemed to be falling apart.I looked at my mother and found her staring at the ground.She wasn’t arguing with Malrik.She wasn’t denying anything he had said.That alone told me enough.“What really happened?” I asked.My voice sounded calmer than I felt.My mother closed her eyes briefly before looking at me. There was a defeated look in her expression that hadn’t been there before, as though she was finally realizing she couldn’t avoid this conversation anymore.“The council decided Lucien was too dangerous to live.”No one reacted.Not because th

AURORANobody moved for a long time after Malrik finished speaking.The courtyard remained crowded, but the tension had changed. The hostility that had existed when we first arrived was gone, replaced by something much more complicated.Understanding but not completely, and not forgiveness either. Just enough truth to make hatred difficult. I looked at my mother.She stood several feet away from Lucien, tears still shining in her eyes, but she wasn’t trying to approach him anymore.Maybe she finally understood that twenty years of pain couldn’t be fixed in a single conversation.Maybe Lucien understood it too.Because despite everything that had been revealed, he hadn’t walked away.He hadn’t shouted.He hadn’t demanded answers that no longer existed.Instead, he stood there silently staring at the woman who had spent two decades regretting a choice she could never take back.The sight hurt in a way I couldn’t explain.For most of my life, I had imagined finding my mother.I had imag

AURORAI should have gone to sleep after that.The sensible thing would’ve been to leave the balcony, find my room, and get whatever rest I could before the battle that was waiting for us at sunrise.Unfortunately, nothing about my life had been sensible for a very long time.The three of us remained on the balcony long after the conversation ended. Below us, the fortress continued preparing for war.Warriors crossed the courtyards carrying weapons and supplies while scouts arrived through the gates with fresh reports from the border.Every few minutes, another horn sounded somewhere in the distance.The enemy was getting closer. Everyone knew it. Nobody wanted to talk about it; maybe that was why none of us moved.The approaching war sat between us like an uninvited guest, and ignoring it felt easier than acknowledging what it might take away.Darius eventually leaned back against the stone railing and tilted his head toward the sky.“You know what’s annoying?”Draven immediately sig

AURORAThe battle spread across the fortress faster than I could keep track of it.By the time we reached the eastern breach, warriors were already fighting on top of the shattered wall. Steel clashed against steel while wolves shifted mid-battle, snarls and battle cries echoing through the morning air. The smell of blood mixed with smoke until it became impossible to separate one from the other.A warrior rushed toward me before I had fully taken in the scene. Instinct took over. I ducked beneath his blade, drove my elbow into his ribs, and sent a surge of power through my palm. He was thrown backward hard enough to crash into two others, buying us a few precious seconds.“Left!” Draven shouted.I turned just in time to see another enemy charging toward Darius. Before I could think, my power surged again. The force caught the attacker in the chest, throwing him off the wall before his weapon could reach Darius.He glanced over his shoulder and flashed me a grin.“I knew keeping you a

AURORAThe journey back to the Northern Pack felt completely different from the one that had brought me there months ago.When I first crossed these lands, I had been surrounded by strangers who looked at me with suspicion. Every step I took had been watched, every word I spoke had been questioned, and every mistake I made had been used as another reason to remind me that I didn’t belong.Now the same roads were lined with wolves waiting for us.Not because they feared me.Because they wanted to welcome us home.I still wasn’t sure how to feel about that.The gates came into view just before sunset.The massive stone walls looked exactly as I remembered them, yet somehow everything felt different. Maybe it wasn’t the fortress that had changed.Maybe it was me.A long horn sounded from the watchtower the moment the guards recognized us.Another answered from inside the pack.Then another.Within moments, the entire fortress seemed to come alive.The gates opened before we reached them,
