Hiding His Alpha Twins novel Chapter 54

Alex’s POV

My heart raced as I swiftly carried Catarina over my shoulder, determined to reach the safe room where I knew the twins would find solace in her presence. The corridors seemed endless. A labyrinth of uncertainty mirrored the chaos outside. I knew time was of the essence, and I couldn't let anything happen to my queen or those precious twins.

With each step, my mind raced, replaying the events that had led us to this moment. Everything had unfolded at a breakneck pace, leaving little room for thought or hesitation. But I was glad that Lochlan had agreed with me, for despite our differences, we both recognised the importance of keeping Catarina and the twins out of harm's way.

Finally reaching the safe room, I gently placed Catarina down and pulled the heavy door shut behind me. It was sealed with a resounding thud, providing a barrier between the outside world and the sanctuary within. This was where Catarina and the twins would be protected, shielded from the horrors of battle.

"Stay in there," I ordered firmly, my voice laced with concern and determination. I locked eyes with her, my gaze filled with loyalty and love. "I won't let anything happen to you or the twins. Stay safe."

Catarina nodded, her eyes brimming with trust and understanding. I clenched my fists, feeling a surge of protective instinct overwhelm me. But there was no time for hesitation.

As if appearing out of thin air, two of my loyal guards materialised beside me, their unwavering loyalty evident in their eyes. They were ready to do whatever it took to defend our kingdom, to protect what was rightfully ours.

"King Alex, where do you need us?" they inquired, their voices steady and determined. They awaited my command, knowing that their lives served the greater good.

"Outside, let's go," I answered without hesitation, my voice projecting authority. "We cannot allow these fools to bypass us again. This kingdom is stronger than that."

A shudder ran through my body as I contemplated the audacity of the enemy's attack.

If only I hadn't fallen for Tara's deceptive tricks, she wouldn't have set foot within my castle walls.

Catarina had seen through her from the beginning, and I now realised the gravity of her warnings. Tara was truly evil, and now we were forced to confront a band of misguided individuals who believed they could seize what was rightfully mine.

Over my dead body.

As we entered the outside, and I spotted Lochlan surrounded by men that were clearly from his own pack. They looked as if they were waiting for his command to start a war.

My own guards scattered around, waiting for my command, waiting to protect what was ours.

"Lochlan, rein your men in. This is my kingdom, and I will have my guards rip each of them apart limb by limb." I growled, taking control as I approached him, standing there doing nothing while his men piled around, waiting for his command. He was their alpha, but I was the king, and I decided to give him a choice.

"If those twins mean anything to you, anything at all, then do the right thing," I told him.

Lochlan's eyes snapped to me, his expression defiant for a moment, but the authority in my voice demanded obedience. With a stern nod, he shouted for his men to pull back.

"Stand down!" Lochlan bellowed, his voice carrying a hint of resignation. "Hold your positions!"

His words were met with confused glances from his men, but ultimately, they obeyed. Weapons were lowered, and the idea of a battle slowly stopped as the soldiers on both sides hesitated, unsure of what had just transpired.
