After I left, the twin Alphas went crazy novel Chapter 181

The kiss was urgent and unrelenting, leaving me no chance to pull away.

I instinctively tried to push him back, but his arms wrapped around me tightly, holding me in place as if he was afraid I’d disappear.

As he held me close, I felt the weight of his words settle over us like a fragile truce.

There was a long road ahead, filled with questions and uncertainties, but for now, we were here—.

When he finally pulled away, his eyes were red, filled with an emotion I couldn’t quite name.

“Why did you try to push me away?” he asked, his voice raw. “Is it because… because you don’t love me anymore?”

“Lirian,” I said softly, my voice trembling.

He interrupted me, shaking his head.

“Don’t say it’s not that,” he said. “Tell me what you feel. Do you hate me? Are you angry with me? Do you want to leave me?”

The tension between us hung in the air like an unspoken truth waiting to unravel. My voice quivered slightly as I looked at Lirian, the words tumbling out almost involuntarily.

“What do you mean you didn’t want to break up with me?” I asked rhetorically, though my tone carried the weight of genuine confusion.

Lirian’s jaw tightened, and he sighed deeply, as though the mere act of responding would reopen a wound he’d rather keep hidden.

“Did you run away to the city because you didn’t want to see me?” he Inquired, his voice steady but laced with something I couldn’t quite place—hurt, perhaps? Or frustration?

I swallowed hard, forcing myself to hold his gaze. “I needed time,” I admitted softly.

“Time to think things through. After the sleepover… after how you acted, it felt like I didn’t matter anymore. Like I was just… there.” My words trailed off, but their impact landed squarely between us.

His brows furrowed deeply, his hands curling into loose fists at his sides. “You think I don’t care about you?”

“Just what?” I pressed, desperate to understand the shift in him.

“I was in a bad mood that day,” he admitted, his shoulders slumping. “Because…” He hesitated, as though reluctant to say what was on his mind.

“Because you lost something I gave you before.” He looked at me then, his eyes filled with a vulnerability that was so at odds with his usual composure.

“It hurt, you know? It felt like I wasn’t important enough for you to care about keeping it safe. Like no matter how much time I spend with you, it doesn’t mean anything to you.”

I quickly asked ‘What was it?

I stood frozen, staring at Lirian as his words sank in. “It was the ring,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper, yet laden with disappointment. His eyes bore Into mine, searching for something—an explanation, a flicker of understanding.

“What ring?” I asked hesitantly, though I could feel my heart start to race.
