My Possessive Alpha Twins For Mate Chapter 306

Logan’s POV

I clasped Lia’s hand and practically hauled her along with me, eager to get her back to our room. Liam trailed just behind, and the moment he noticed her struggling to match our strides, he effortlessly scooped her up in his arms—bridal style—and carried her the rest of the way.

Our little short-stack always had to take two steps for every one of ours. Sometimes I forgot how small she really was.

Liam gently set her down on the bed, and without wasting a second, I began peeling off her yoga pants while he tugged her T-shirt over her head. As much as I secretly adored the way those pants hugged her perfectly round ass, right now I needed to feel her—skin to skin.

Liam had already stripped to his fitted boxers and was guiding our mate toward the center of the bed. I made quick work of my own clothes, slipped under the covers, and nestled beside her.

Lia was tucked into Liam’s chest, his arms wrapped around her back, while I faced her from the other side, stretched out on my side. Just looking at her took the breath from my lungs. She was stunning. I ached to touch her, but I resisted. More than anything, I wanted her to rest.

Being close to her was enough. For now.

She began tracing soft circles on my chest with her fingertips, and I gently caught her hand, holding it still. The sparks her touch ignited were too much—I’d lose all restraint if she kept going.

For a full minute, we lay in stillness… until she started shifting her hips, slowly grinding against Liam. I watched him tighten his hold around her waist, his expression one of tortured restraint. I nearly laughed at the look on his face but somehow held it back.

“Are we seriously just going to sleep?” she asked with an annoyed little huff.

Her pout was so damn adorable, it took everything I had not to kiss her senseless. Instead, I settled for brushing a stray curl from her forehead.

“Yes, baby girl, we’re going to sleep,” I said, earning a fierce scowl from her.

I kept caressing her cheek like I hadn’t noticed the daggers she was shooting at me with her eyes.

“You’re clearly exhausted, angel,” Liam said softly, trying to soothe her. “We’ve got a lot coming up over the next couple of weeks. If you’re already tired, it’ll just make everything harder. Logan and I both want you to relax and enjoy what’s ahead. That means getting enough rest. We’re more than happy to lie here with you while you sleep.”

She muttered something under her breath that sounded suspiciously like bossy, overbearing wolves, but I let it slide. I gently closed her eyes with my fingers and couldn’t stop myself from pressing a kiss to each lid. She didn’t open them again. Soon, her breathing evened out, her heart slowed, and we knew she was asleep.

Liam’s eyes were closed, but I could tell he wasn’t sleeping. Neither was I. I was wide awake, lost in the sight of her, in the quiet wonder of her being here—ours.

“How the hell did we even survive before she came into our lives?” I mind-linked him.

It had only been a month, but everything before her felt like it belonged to another lifetime. The idea of going back, of living without her… it was suffocating. I literally couldn’t breathe without her.

“Surviving isn’t the word I’d use,” he responded. “You were self-destructing. But yeah, I get it.”

“She’s everything, man. She’s all I think about. I don’t know how other Alphas get anything done. I can’t focus for shit when she’s not around.”

“And in less than two weeks, she’ll be marked. Our Luna.”

A jolt of excitement rippled through me at the thought. There was a time I believed having a mate would ruin my freedom—put a stop to my so-called thrilling lifestyle. I’d accepted my duty to the pack, to eventually take a Luna, but I never expected to want it. Then she came along. And suddenly, everything I’d thought was exciting before felt empty by comparison.

God, what a fool I’d been.

“I can’t fucking wait,” Liam replied, pulling me from my thoughts. “Ghost’s losing his damn mind. It’s easy to forget he’s been waiting six years for her, too.”

“Do you remember when Dad was headed to Crystal Moon a few years ago? To see Oberon? He asked us to go, but we bailed to hit that party with Nikolai. What if we’d gone with him?”

“Shit,” I whispered aloud, the memory hitting me. “I completely forgot about that.”

Liam’s eyes met mine, and I knew he saw the same regret flicker across my face. Back then, I’d been too busy numbing my insecurities with meaningless flings. The idea of a mate had felt like a life sentence. And now... the thought that we might have had three more years with her, just by making a different choice—it cut deep.

“Don’t do that,” Liam said, voice firm in my mind.

“Do what?” I asked, feigning ignorance. But I knew exactly what he meant.

“Don’t spiral into ‘what ifs.’ It changes nothing. I shouldn’t have brought it up. And don’t forget—back then, she was with that other Alpha. What if she’d chosen him over us? The Goddess’s timing is what it is. We have to believe there’s a reason for that.”

He was right. But it still stung.

I was still trying to forgive myself for the way I’d handled things when she left without a word. Even now, I worried I’d screw something up again. If we’d found her sooner, maybe I’d have already grown into the kind of mate she deserved. Maybe I wouldn’t still be fumbling my way through my feelings.

Maybe by now, we’d even have a pup or two running around.

The image came out of nowhere, but it filled me with a strange, grounding warmth. Just knowing that someday we’d get there—that our bond would deepen to that point—was comforting. And hell, the thought of her carrying our pup? That was hotter than I’d expected. She’d be the most stunning pregnant she-wolf ever.

I was getting hard just thinking about it. Yeah, I needed a cold shower.

“We’ve got a meeting to get to. Let’s sneak out without waking her,” Liam mind-linked, snapping me out of my spiraling thoughts.

I gave him a mental nod and leaned in to press a soft kiss to Lia’s forehead, while Liam kissed the top of her head, breathing her in before slipping out from beneath the covers. I followed, dressing quickly and silently. Before leaving, I turned back for one last look at her—my mate, my entire world—and locked the image in my heart before stepping out behind my brother.
