Hiding His Alpha Twins novel Chapter 22

Catarina’s POV

As we walked back into the grand hall where our guests awaited, I couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of determination. King Alex's words had ignited a fire within me, reminding me of the strength we possessed together.

As we entered the room, a hush fell over the crowd. All eyes turned towards us, their gazes filled with curiosity and anticipation. I held my head high, refusing to let doubt dim my spirit. Alex's grip on my hand conveyed his unwavering support, fuelling me with the confidence to face whatever lay ahead.

Taking a deep breath, Alex addressed the room in a firm but composed voice. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience. I apologize for the interruption. But I assure you, everything is fine, please continue to enjoy your evening. My Queen and I would like to thank you all for coming."

As he spoke, a wave of relief washed over me. I didn't want our guests to sense any tension or concern. It was important to maintain a level of normalcy, despite the turmoil that brewed beneath the surface.

The crowd slowly began to relax, their murmurs subsiding as they returned to their conversations and laughter. I let out a silent sigh of relief, grateful that they were willing to accept their King’s reassurance.

Alex and I moved through the room, greeting our guests with warm smiles and engaging in light-hearted conversations. We exchanged pleasantries, complimented their attire, and thanked them for their ongoing support of our reign.

Once the evening ended and we had said our goodbyes to the last guests, I turned to Alex and said I was going to check on my twins. They would be sleeping by now and I wanted to kiss them goodnight before going to bed myself. It had been a long and tiring day.

Alex nodded, understanding the need for some time alone with our children. "Of course, my love. Take all the time you need. I'll join you soon."

Walking down the grand hallway, I felt a sense of tranquillity wash over me. Being with the twins always brought me a sense of joy and peace, grounding me during chaos.

As I entered their nursery, I was immediately greeted by giggles and the sound of tiny feet pattering against the floor. They should be sound asleep by now, but I couldn't be cross, instead my heart swelled with love as I saw them playing together, their laughter filling the room. Another

"Hello, my darlings," I said with a soft smile, joining them on the floor. They crawled towards me, their little hands reaching out for me to scoop them up in my arms.

"Oh, Madam. I am sorry they aren't asleep. They insisted to be put to bed by yourself." Mindy apologised with a bow, but I waved it off.

"Thats fine. They aren't used to anyone else putting them to bed. You are dismissed. Thank you for your assistance." I nodded to her, and she left the room.

Looking down at my babies and their tired faces, I smiled.

As I rocked them gently, the worries and responsibilities of the day melted away. In their innocent embrace, I found solace and a renewed sense of purpose.

"Alex and I will protect you and ensure our kingdom remains safe," I whispered, pressing kisses on their foreheads. "You are our strength and inspiration, just as we are yours."

A knock on the door interrupted our quiet moment. Alex entered, a tender smile on his face as he approached us. Sitting beside me, he gently stroked our children's hair, his touch a comforting presence.

"They are growing so quickly," Alex mused, his voice filled with both awe and a tinge of bittersweetness. "We must cherish these moments with them."

I nodded in agreement, savouring the feeling of our family together. In this haven of love and warmth, I knew we would face whatever challenges awaited us, united and unwavering.

As the evening ended, we softly put our twins to bed, their eyes drooping with sleepiness. Alex and I stood by their beds, silently watching over them, our hearts overflowing with love and determination.

"We will keep them safe, Cat," Alex whispered, placing a gentle kiss on my forehead. "We will shield them from harm and build a future where they can thrive."

With a final glance at our slumbering angels, we closed the door to their nursery, the soft click echoing through the hallway. Hand in hand, we walked back to our own chambers.

"I love you my beautiful Queen." Alex pulled me into his arms and kissed me.

As his canines sank into my skin, a surge of excitement coursed through m2e. Despite the slight pain, I knew that this moment marked a profound connection between us. With my eyes shut, I embraced the sensation, silently affirming the bond we were forming.

As the adrenaline rushed through my veins, I couldn't help but marvel at the trust we had built together. Every tug and pull of his teeth felt like a shared experience, strengthening the invisible thread that connected us.

"Oh Yes, my King." I gasped.

I could hear his deep, rhythmic breathing, proving that I was not alone in this dance of vulnerability. His unwavering grip told me that he, too, recognized the significance of this intimate moment.

Despite the discomfort, I revelled in the experience, for deep down, I knew that it was in these moments of genuine vulnerability that true connections were formed. We were breaking down barriers, stepping outside the realms of what was familiar, and embracing the unknown.

As he released his bite, I couldn't help but feel a pang of longing for the intensity we had just shared. Our eyes met, and for a moment, there was a silent understanding, an acknowledgment that this capture had transformed us both.

I snuggled into his embrace, my head resting on his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. The warmth of his body wrapped around me, creating a cocoon of comfort and security. I couldn't help but smile, feeling a surge of love and contentment fill every inch of my being.

My fingers traced lazy patterns on his chest, revelling in the softness of his skin beneath my touch. His hand gently cradled my face, his thumb brushing against my cheek. I tilted my head, meeting his gaze, and felt my heart swell with adoration.

"I love you," he whispered, his voice a tender caress that sent butterflies dancing in my stomach. His words were like a balm to my soul, filling me with a renewed sense of belonging and happiness. In that moment, it felt as though our love could conquer any obstacle.

A smile tugged at my lips, my eyes glowing with affection. "I love you too, my King," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. The weight of those three words, so simple yet so profound, hung in the air, sealing our commitment to one another.

The world outside faded away, leaving only him and me in our own little bubble of love and devotion. As sleep claimed me, I knew that I was exactly where I was meant to be - in his arms, feeling cherished and safe.
