Hiding His Alpha Twins novel Chapter 25

Catarina’s POV

I woke up the following day with a smile etched across my face and my heart filled with a joy that seemed to radiate from within. As I stretched out in bed, basking in the warmth of the morning sun, my mind wandered to the previous night's events - a night that had transformed my life in ways I could never have imagined.

Alex, my king, my mate, had marked me. The symbol of our love and commitment adorned my skin, a permanent reminder of our unbreakable bond. I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of happiness, excitement, and completeness. The mark solidified our connection, making it stronger and more profound.

But this newfound happiness extended beyond the mark. Alex had seamlessly stepped into the role of a father figure to my twins, Nadia and Nathan. Lochlan, their biological father, may have a claim to their lineage, but Alex indeed held their hearts and would always be their pillar of love and support. I couldn't have asked for a better partner for myself and a more loving figure for my children.

A fire burned within me as I reflected on my determination to protect my twins from Lochlan. His presence in their lives would have only been toxic and harmful, and I vowed to shield them fiercely from any further harm. They deserved the love and stability that Alex, their loving father figure, provided unconditionally.

As I lay in bed, my thoughts turned to him. Oh, how I loved him. He was beyond perfect, with his unwavering loyalty, his kind heart, and his unwavering dedication to our family. Alex had shown me what it truly meant to be loved, cherished, and respected. He had given me a second chance at happiness, and for that, I was eternally grateful.

My wolf, Matilda, revelled in the knowledge that our mate had marked us, their excitement radiating through every fibre of my being. Matilda's presence was a constant reminder of the beautiful bond we shared, the connection that spanned not only our physical bodies but also our souls.

As I rose from bed, ready to face the day, my heart sang with anticipation. Although Alex was not by my side then, I trusted that he had important matters to attend to. And when he returned, I would be waiting, eager to mark him in return, to complete our bond.

Suddenly, the door creaked open, admitting a sliver of daylight into the room. My heart skipped a beat as I turned towards the sound, knowing it could only be one person - Alex. My eyes met his, and a surge of love and desire coursed me, igniting a fire. At that moment, words seemed unnecessary as our souls communicated a language beyond speech.

Without a word, Alex closed the door gently behind him and walked towards me, his eyes never leaving mine. The intensity of his gaze was both thrilling and comforting, reminding me of the raw connection we shared. In his presence, I felt safe, desired, and consumed by love.

He took me into his arms, enveloping me in a warm embrace that made my heart soar. "I've missed you," he whispered, his voice filled with longing and tenderness.

"I've missed you too," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. The ache of his absence had weighed heavily on my heart, but at this moment, all that mattered was that he was here, holding me.

"Where did you get to? I woke up, and you were gone."

"That’s not important right now." He whispered.

The room filled with a charged energy as our bodies melted into one another. As our lips united in a long-awaited kiss, passion and adoration coursed through me. With every breath, every touch, the longing I felt for him intensified, building into a crescendo that begged to be released.

Ravished by desire, we slowly moved towards the bed, our bodies entwined in a dance of love and longing.

In between breaths, our bodies spoke words of love, each touch a declaration of devotion. "You're everything to me," Alex murmured, his voice laced with an undeniable urgency.

"And you are my world," I replied, trembling with desire and vulnerability. In his arms, I had found a love that surpassed all expectations, a love that healed and completed me.

I felt on top of the world as we made love, each touch, each caress, reaffirming our dedication to one another. Whispers of love mingled with passionate cries, painting the room with a symphony of desire.

With a mixture of longing and anticipation, I leaned in closer, my senses attuned to his every breath. Trailing my tongue along his neck, I traced a path that ignited heat waves beneath his skin.

The exquisite sensation caused his body to tremble, a symphony of anticipation and excitement resonating. Our connection deepened further as I gently grazed my teeth along his neck, feeling the heightened rhythm of his pulse beneath my touch. Gradually, my canines contacted his flesh, marking him as my one and only mate.

Did they wander off somewhere? Had someone taken them? A million terrifying scenarios played out in my head, and I felt guilt wash over me. How could I have let this happen? Why didn't I check on them sooner?

Frantically, I rushed to the other rooms, searching for traces of my precious children. But they were nowhere to be found. Panic threatened to consume me entirely, tears streaming down my face as I called out their names.

"ALEX!" I screamed, running down the hallway, and he came rushing out of the bedroom dressed in only a towel and water dripping down his body.

"What is it, my darling?"

I paused for a moment, my heart still pounding with fear. Taking a deep breath, I tried to collect my thoughts and communicate the situation's urgency.

"We need to find the twins immediately, Alex," I said, trembling. "Lochlan could have them, and we can't waste any time. Help me search every room and check all the places they might hide."

"What are you talking about? The twins are with Mindy, and Cherry is preparing them breakfast." Alex pulled me into his arms and assured me, he rubbed my back, and I immediately calmed down.

"Oh, I’m so relieved. I thought he had somehow gotten to them." I wiped my face and felt so foolish.

Alex placed a finger under my chin and bought my face up, so we were looking at each other in the eyes.

"Cat, listen to me. That scumbag will not ever lay his hands on you or the twins. I will make sure of that." Alex informed me.
