Page 147 of A Chance at Love for the Twin Alphas

Neither of us is particularly impressed by it. If he wanted to attack us, he would have done it already. He just wanted to project his mind games. I assume it’s not that easy for him to sully his hands by killing us himself.

“You know what.” I stretch. “I’m getting tired of this.”

“Me too.” Elise slips down from the air bed, waiting for me to follow. When we set our foot down, we are back to the room we originally went to. We never left it. Nothing of what we saw or did was real.

Elise high-fives me, and we nod at each other.Now that we’ve dealt with that silly illusion, we can proceed with our task.I say.And the best part is, ever since I’m marked, using my gift doesn’t drain me as much.

Same.She grins.Thanks to Marcel and his magical dick.

I laugh.He has a magical dick?

Yes, it makes all the sorrow go away,she jokes.

I link my arms with her before I tug her out of the room. Before I leave, I make sure to set our bomb here. This place truly deserves to go down.

Now, let’s kill some cultists!

*ARMAN*

Harmony is tied to the wall, while a witch has completely bound me, making it impossible to move or do anything. I can only watch, watch how the man in front of us strips her naked and starts whipping her. Her screams echo through the room, and as always—as every time with Colton—I can only stand there and watch how someone close to me gets hurt over and over again. Someone I should have protected.

I’m unable to move, to go to her like I was unable to save Benjamin from being beaten by his abusive father or the slaves from being sexually harassed by the warriors.

All I can do is watch.

I don’t even understand anymore how this happened. All I know is that we stepped into the building, and once inside, we were overpowered by a bunch of guards. My lycan was and still is unresponsive. They set us up for a trap and were stupid enough to step into it.

And now my mate, my beautiful, strong Harmony, has to suffer for—

You are really dense.A well-known voice reaches me.Typical for wolves, which is why I normally don’t bother.

I stare at the black cat appearing in front of me, almost believing in an illusion.

Oh, so I am the illusion!?She rolls her eyes.I AM the illusion!? Really? Not something else?

What do you mean?I ask, my voice hoarse from screaming for my mate.

Let’s rewind this a bit,she says, sounding seriously fed up.Because your mate already worked it out by now. Five minutes before you stepped onto these lands here, right when Maahes transported you here, what did he tell you!?

I don’t even know why I humor her. At this point, nothing truly matters to me but Harmony, and she is clearly going to die because her mate is a fucking failure.

Wolf, thoughts with me,Bastet huffs.What did he tell you?

He said…we should watch out for Apophis’ tricks.I hear myself say.

Fantastic, and?

And that he likes his mind games.I furrow my brows a bit. What does this mean? Why does she remind me of it now?

And what did that attractive alpha tell you?

Which one?I ask, confused.

The good-looking one, obviously. I normally don’t do wolves, but for him, I’d make an exception.She grins.But I respect the mate bond, and I don’t want to cross his mate.

Alpha Elden?I ask.Wait, you are scared of Luna Flora?

Scared is the wrong word,she says.I just don’t need the additional trouble.She pauses.So, what did he tell you during your last meeting?She asks instead.
