Chapter 368

~Ella’s POV~

The world around me felt weightless, my body floating in a sea of warmth and unfamiliar comfort. My mind was foggy, struggling to grasp onto reality, but voices—deep, heated voices—pierced through the haze.

I winced at the headache thanks to their rumbling voices.

"She’s my mate," a rough, commanding voice growled. "You have no right to be near her." That was Ric... _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

"Oh, fuck off, Richard," Ares snapped with a tone just as sharp. "She was with me before your Lycan ass decided to sniff around."

A low, menacing growl vibrated through the air, sending shivers down my spine. "You touched my mate," Richard snarled. "If you weren’t Kaid’s—"

"Enough," Kaid’s voice pierced the tension with a sharp edge, causing the room to fall silent.

I slowly started to regain control of my senses, my eyelids fluttering, the weight of exhaustion still pressing against me. My head pounded like I had been thrown into an actual Astra projection, only that it felt too real.

"Both of you," Kaid continued firmly. "Shut up. You sound like children fighting over a damn toy."

"She’s not a toy," Richard muttered darkly.

"Then stop acting like she is," Kaid shot back, holding a deep growl. "She’s unconscious, and instead of focusing on her, you’re both waving your dicks around trying to claim her like she’s property. Now sit the fuck down and shut up before I make you."

A heavy silence followed, but I could feel the tension crackling in the air even before I sat down.

Just then, Kaid pulled out his phone. I heard the distinct sound of him dialing before he spoke, "Zara. Ella fainted."

My breath hitched at the mention of my best friend. I wondered where I was but Kaid continued.

"She’s fine," Kaid reassured her. "She’s here at the hotel you last saw me at. You might want to come get her before her boyfriend and my Beta kill each other."

There was a pause, and then Kaid sighed. "See you soon, Zara. When you get here, you’d understand."

The moment he ended the call, another wave of silence swept through the room.

And then, just as I was fully coming back to reality, I felt it.

A presence—two of them, hovering over me, radiating heat, tension, and something that sent my heartbeat into chaos.

My eyes flickered open, adjusting to the dim lighting of what looked like an expensive hotel suite.

And the second I moved, both Richard and Ares lunged forward at the same time.

"Ella," Richard’s deep voice was the first to reach me, filled with possessiveness and something dangerously close to worry.

"Shit, you scared me, princess," Ares muttered, his tone softer than before.

I blinked, my mind racing to process what was happening. I was lying on a massive bed, and the two most infuriating men I had ever met were standing way too close, their eyes locked onto me like I was some fragile porcelain doll.

My throat was dry, and my body felt strangely warm, almost as if I was still wrapped in that overwhelming scent—Richard’s scent.

"Where..." I tried to speak but my voice was hoarse.

Richard immediately grabbed a glass of water from the nightstand and pressed it to my lips. "Drink."

I hesitated of course. He may be my mate but even I have some sense of reasoning.

Ares scoffed, crossing his arms. "Oh, for fuck’s sake, Ella, he’s not poisoning you."
