Twin Wolves

CHAPTER 183

~Author's POV~

The tension in the mansion was thick, suffocating, as if the very air carried the weight of unspoken rage and fear. 

Zade placed Aira gently onto the couch, his eyes scanning her trembling frame. Tempest rushed in almost immediately, her steps hurried and her face filled with concern.

"What happened to her?" Tempest demanded, her sharp gaze locking onto Zade.

Zade straightened, his jaw tightening as he relived the events that had unfolded only moments ago. "Her mate happened."

Tempest froze, her wolf, Summer, growling in the recesses of her mind. "Her what?" she asked, her voice laced with disbelief, though deep down, she already knew the answer.

Zade clenched his fists. "Her…" he clenched his fist, finding it hard to call another man Aira's mate as the word left a bitter taste in his mouth.
