My Alphas' Dark Desires novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Mated Again

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

Chapter 52

~Valerie’s POV~

The mate bond snapped, hard.

A violent, twisting pain tore through my chest, and I dropped to one knee with a choked scream. It wasn’t just heartache. It was magic burning itself out of my body like acid.

The bond recoiled, then whipped.

And for a second. Just a second, I felt nothing. No emotions. No mate pull.

Until... I felt it stronger like a recoil and strength boost given to Astra and then suddenly...

"Mate."

Astra’s voice rang in my mind louder than ever. And that was when the real pain began.

My knees buckled. I doubled over. Not from physical damage—but from the overwhelming pull of six bonds locking in tighter than ever before.

"No..." I gasped. "I broke it. I broke the bond!"

I looked up, blinking through tears and sweat, and saw all six of them standing still, eyes wide.

None of them were gone.

None of them had weakened. I know they were alpha born and I was too. Sadly, I was the only one tied to all six at once.

Shit, stupid move, Valerie.

None had been freed.

Dristan’s hand was clenched so tight, blood dripped from his palm.

"You can’t," Astra whispered inside me. "They’re yours. You can’t break what was made in blood and fate."

I stumbled back. "No... no, no."

"Valerie—" Axel stepped forward.

"I got to go," I rasped. "I have to go."

And I ran without looking back not when Xander’s voice broke through the chaos. Not when I heard Dristan whisper something behind me.

I ran until my legs screamed.

Until my wolf stopped fighting me and just let me go.

Because if I didn’t run, I’d break again, and I didn’t want to think of the possibilities awaiting me.

~Dristan’s POV~

Valerie ran.

And I let her. No—I watched her.

Stumbling over her own feet, chest heaving, eyes wide with something between pain and disbelief. But I never moved.

I couldn’t.

Because for the first time in my life, I didn’t know what the hell to do.

"She rejected us," Soren said slowly in my head, like he himself couldn’t believe it. "She actually did it. Our mate rejected us."

"Yes get in the back of the line because she actually did and no," I whispered aloud, so low it was almost lost in the silence. "She tried to."

But it didn’t work.

The moment she said those words, I felt the bond scream and snap. And then reforge itself inside my soul, harder and hotter than before. It was like the Moon Goddess herself had carved her name into my chest and said, ’You’re not done yet.’

I still felt her.

Her fear. Her heartbreak. Her guilt. Her rage I coud see it all clearly the moment she fell to her knees... it took everything in me not to rush to her.

"You love her," Soren said inside my head. "You hate it. You deny it. You avoid it. But you love her."

"Shut up," I muttered.

"Fix it," Soren growled.
