My Alphas' Dark Desires novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Mate(s)

*****************

Chapter 40

~Valerie’s POV~

As soon as I said the words, four familiar voices cut through the air behind me like thunder.

"No way."

"The fuck!"

"It can’t be."

"She’s mine."

I didn’t even need to turn around—I knew who it was. The Alpha Kings’ Heirs. All four of them had caught up to me and my stomach dropped.

But that wasn’t the worst part.

What truly freaked me out was the other guy—the one standing beside the guy who was currently holding me like I was something precious. Because he... he said it too.

"Mate."

I met his eyes—blue, calm, and intense. The moment our gaze locked, Astra inside me jolted like lightning had just struck her spine.

"Mate," she breathed.

Shit. Not again.

I closed my eyes, shaking slightly. My mind was already about to split from the pressure, and now... this? A fight was about to break out. I could feel it.

Why? Why would the Moon Goddess do this to me?

I mean who the fuck did she do that to, huh? My mother had only one mate, my father, Alpha Snow. So why did she have to shackle their destinies with mine.

Twisted bitch move!

Six—six fucking freeking possessive domineering alpha mates? What kind of cosmic joke was this?

Before I could even process that mess, I felt a shift in the energy behind me.

It was dark and dangerous. Dristan.

I didn’t even have to see him to know. That intense, possessive presence? I’d recognise it anywhere.

"Hand over my mate," he growled in a lethal voice.

The guy holding me didn’t flinch. Didn’t loosen his grip. In fact, he pulled me tighter against him like he wanted to challenge Dristan.

"Why?" he asked, his voice sharp and unwavering.

Holy. Shit.

Who the hell was he? No one ever challenged Dristan like that except for the Alpha Kings’ Heirs and even at that. He still looked like the untouchable heir.

My brain short-circuited for a second.

Instant respect. No, admiration. And maybe a little something else I wasn’t ready to name.

Then Kai stepped forward, standing beside Dristan, eyes narrowed.

"Because she’s mine," he snapped.

The guy next to the one holding me, who looked almost identical to him, snorted and crossed his arms. "I doubt it. If she really were your mates and satisfied at that, the Moon Goddess wouldn’t have given her better mates."

Wait.

Twins?

I blinked between them. Yep. Same face, same energy. Just... the eyes were different. One had hazel-green eyes that seemed to see straight through me.

Almost.
