Alpha's Twins Chapter 143

The second I heard Adrian's words, I completely snapped. I rushed at him, my hands shaking with rage.

"You have no right to call them your children. I'm their only parent. Don't even think about taking them from me. I'll kill you if you touch them."

I grabbed his throat with both hands, squeezing as hard as I could.

He caught my wrists and shoved them away, sending me stumbling backward.

"Don't push me to show you what I'm really capable of. You had your time with them all these years. Now they're mine."

The ice-cold certainty in his voice hit me like a punch to the gut. He meant every word.

Tears started pouring down my face at the thought of my babies being ripped away from me.

I shook my head frantically. "No, you can't keep them from me."

His eyes blazed with fury. "Why not? Didn't you do the exact same thing to me? How could you keep my own flesh and blood away from me? I've never met anyone as shameless as you. You made their father believe they were bastards."

I stared at him through my tears, but his stone-cold heart didn't budge.

He actually smiled, but it was cruel and mocking. "Just picture their faces when they find out what their mother made their father think of them. How do you think they'll feel? All that love and respect in their eyes will vanish in a heartbeat."

My mind went completely blank. I couldn't think straight. Everything that had happened over the years just disappeared, and all I could hear were Adrian's brutal words about stealing my twins.

"I won't let you take them. Do whatever you want. My kids don't want to live with you anyway."

I spun around and grabbed the door handle, but his next words made my hand freeze mid-motion.

"I'll take this straight to the council, and you know damn well what'll happen. The second they find out you've been hiding my heirs, they'll hand custody right over to me. And if I have to trash my own reputation to make it happen, I'll banish you from this pack so you'll never see them again."

I whipped around to face him, biting my lip so hard I almost drew blood, trying to stop the sobs.

"Why are you doing this to me?"

He stalked closer, his eyes locked on mine like a predator.

He slammed his hand against the door next to my head and stared straight into my soul.

His dark gaze felt like it was burning right through me. I couldn't look away even if I wanted to.

"During the war, you kept going on about how much I hurt you. What exactly did I do to you those two years? I gave you a safe place to live, let you stay in a protected house, made sure no other man could touch you. But what did you give me back? You kept my children from me for almost six fucking years. They're about to turn five. Do you have any idea how that feels? I was such a fool that because of you, I almost accepted another man's chi—"

He cut himself off, jaw clenched tight. I had no clue what he was about to say. My brain had completely shut down.

"I-I thought you would kill them."

He let out a bitter laugh and looked away, stepping back and shaking his head.

"Well, you got what you wanted. Now it's my turn."

"What do you mean?"

He pushed me aside and yanked the door open. "Go tell your family to pack their shit and get out of this pack."

"Adrian—"

He shot me a look that could kill. "I'm not saying it twice. I'll make them crawl on their hands and knees if I have to."
