My Possessive Alpha Twins For Mate Chapter 256

Oberon’s eyes shimmered with warmth as he spoke of his late wife, and Lia’s tears spilled over, falling freely as she listened.

“I never knew,” she whispered, her voice barely audible.

“By the time you came along, her parents had already passed,” he explained gently. “She rarely spoke of them.” He paused before continuing. “A few years after they adopted your mother, they were shocked to discover she was pregnant—naturally, after all that time. Just months later, your Aunt Calliope was born. They raised both girls in Spain until their teenage years, then made the move to America and joined the Midnight Moon Pack. So you see, your aunt carries Irish blood. She’s the only one I can think of who might help.”

Lia’s voice cracked as she replied, “But… we haven’t seen her in over five years. Not since before Mama…” She trailed off, the word left unspoken. “Do you even know how to reach her? What if she doesn’t want to help me?”

“I still have a few contacts at Midnight Moon. We keep in touch here and there. I was told Calliope returned to Spain years ago but has since come back. I think I can find her,” he said thoughtfully.

Lia’s expression turned from uncertain to overwhelmed. “And in the meantime? What am I supposed to do with all this? It feels unreal—like my head is going to explode.”

“I understand,” Keziah said calmly. “Believe me, I know how overwhelming this is. But try not to dwell on it too deeply right now.” Lia blinked at her as if Keziah had just grown a second head. Keziah lifted her hands in mock surrender. “I know, it sounds absurd. But you’re surrounded by unanswered questions, and trying to solve them all at once will only lead to frustration—and that kind of stress could be dangerous, especially with a power you haven’t yet learned to control.”

“But I’ve been in stressful situations before,” Lia argued, brows knitting. “Nothing ever happened.”

“That was before you met your fated mates,” Keziah said with soft conviction. “Mates are sacred to our kind—gifts from the Moon Goddess herself. And in the life of a special wolf, their role often holds even more significance. You were given two mates, two protectors. The Goddess has a reason for that. The moment your bond was sealed, something was triggered in you, Dahlia—something ancient and powerful. Even if you didn’t feel it at the time, it awakened your gift, and now it’s growing stronger every day.”

Liam leaned forward, curious. “Is that why she can command me? Are her powers affecting us too?”

That caught both Keziah and Oberon off guard.

“What?” they exclaimed in unison.

“Yesterday, during training,” Liam began, “we were sparring. She had me pinned—not for long, nothing I couldn’t get out of. But then… her wolf told me to stay down. The moment she said it, I felt it. Like an Alpha command—it rolled over me like a wave. I couldn’t move. I was frozen until I tapped out, and then she released me.”

Even Keziah looked stunned. Every gaze shifted to Lia, who seemed more mortified than anyone else in the room.

“I didn’t know what was happening,” she confessed, her voice small. “My wolf told me afterward what we’d done. She said… she asked the earth’s spirit to help hold him down.”

“Well,” Keziah said slowly, “that was unexpected… but it makes sense. If Selene has chosen you for a divine purpose, she would ensure no force—not even your mates—could prevent you from fulfilling it.”

Lia appeared lost in thought then, her expression shifting as if some forgotten memory were surfacing. Liam noticed it too.

“What is it, Angel?” he asked, voice low.

“I’m not sure,” she said after a pause. “Maybe it’s nothing. But when I was unconscious, during my fever… I had a dream. At least I thought it was a dream. I heard the Moon Goddess. She told me to rest—that she had big plans for me. I figured I was just delirious, but now… I don’t know. Maybe it meant something.”

Keziah nodded, her voice gentle. “I think you may be right.”

With that, the meeting drew to a close, though our minds were anything but settled. My wolf stirred anxiously inside me, his concern for our mate making my own nerves fray at the edges. I could feel Liam mirroring my unease through our bond. We both needed to keep Dahlia close—to ground ourselves, and to ensure she felt safe.

As we walked back to the pack house, her hands stayed firmly in ours. The gesture wasn’t just for her comfort—it was also for ours. Holding her, even in that small way, reassured us that she was still with us… at least for now.

At the front steps, Oberon came to a stop and announced he needed to return to Crystal Moon. Lia pleaded with him to stay a little longer, but he convinced her that the sooner he went, the sooner he could reach out to his contacts and, hopefully, her aunt. He promised to call as soon as he had news. Reluctantly, Lia let him go, clinging tightly to him one last time before watching him drive off. As soon as his car disappeared down the path, Liam and I ushered her inside.

Dinner was already underway, and none of us had eaten since breakfast.

“Let’s get you fed, little wolf,” I murmured, nudging her gently toward the dining room.

At our usual table, I pulled out the chair beside mine and guided her into it, dragging it close until our thighs touched. I wanted to pull her into my lap, to hold her fully, but I knew doing so would only stoke the already ever-churning rumor mill. Liam sat on her other side. He didn’t crowd her, but he kept her hand in his beneath the table, refusing to let go.

The three of us ate in silence, each of us lost in thought. Around us, the rest of the table carried on as usual—loud, lively, unaware of the weight hanging over us. Or maybe they noticed and simply chose not to comment. Either way, we ate quickly, eager to retreat somewhere quieter where we could begin processing everything we’d just learned.

“Movie night in the common room?” Bastian offered.

“It’s been a long day,” Liam declined before I could. “We’re going to call it a night early.”

Nikolai grinned knowingly, clearly jumping to the wrong conclusion. I didn’t correct him. What could we even say at this point?

After bidding everyone goodnight and urging them to have fun, we made our way straight to the Alpha floor. When we reached Lia’s room, she walked inside without hesitation, not bothering to check if we were following—she simply assumed we would be.

And she was right.

The moment the lock clicked into place behind us, we all exhaled together. It felt like we could finally breathe, finally let the weight of the day slip from our shoulders.

At least for now.
