My Two Alphas

Chapter 41

Ace doesn’t wait for her to leave instead, he turns to face me before gripping my shoulders and

turning me toward the house and pushing me toward the stairs. I could hear Melana crying and

begging for his attention but he ignored her and I looked up at him over my shoulder as I open the door.

He must be quite confident in his Alpha aura just to turn his back on her like that but they were Pure

Hybrid so i suppose it would be first if anyone was able to withstand the pressure of their aura’s.

I hear her car leave and Ace shuts the door before walking over to me and I thought at first he was

made by the angry look on his face when he grabs my hips placing me on the counter, his hand lifting

up my shirt to look at where Melana slid the knife between my ribs. It felt more bruised then actual pain

seeing as it had all but closed up besides my pain tolerance thanks to the facility was higher than most

peoples.

“Does it hurt?” Ace sasy running his thumb over the small neat line that was almost completely

closed.

“No, just feels bruised” I tell him looking down though the shirt was ruined and soaked in my blood.

Ace curses under his breath before tugging it down before he steps closer moving between my legs

and effectively trapping me, yet I could think of worse places to be then trapped within my mates arms.

Ace presses his face in the crook of my neck inhaling my scent and I shiver when his hands move

to my ass tugging me closer to the edge of the countertop. “Tyson is on his way home” Ace whispers

against my neck.

“What happened at the borders?” I ask him and he shrugs and I could tell he was reluctant to tell

me.

“He wants land this side of the river that runs between packs”

“Why though?” I ask him and he pulls back his hands, runs up my thighs and I for a second his

hands are all I can think about. I have to force myself to remain on topic and focus on Alpha Jamie, like

it seemed pretty stupid to start a war of land that wasn’t his to beguin with.

“Tyson and I have a few theories as to why he wants it, more reasons not to give it to him” Ace

says.

“Like what? What could he possibly want with it, he could always get more land from his other

neighbouring pack” Ace nods but I hear Tyson’s car pull up out the front my eyes darting to the door

before going back to Ace. He was watching me carefully and I could see he wanted to say something

and was holding back. I wondered why he was hesitant to tell me about Alpha Jamie.

“Lucy there is something I should I tell you” Ace says looking away guiltily. I feel my confusion

spread across my face.

Maybe it was to do with me stepping over the border of Jamie’s pack without permission.

“What is it?” I ask him slightly worried, did I start a pack war?

“I went to see Avery and Aamon about your pills” Ace starts to tell me and the door opens up. Did

something happen with Mr Tanner? Did Avery not believe me even after she saw, yet I could tell she

did when she was here last. Tyson walks in and Ace sighs before going to step away yet I grab his

hand pulling him back.

“What’s wrong, say it Ace” I tell him needing to know, my anxiety was through the roof. Tyson

stops assessing the situation before slowly emptying his pockets into the bowl that sat on the stand by

the door.

“I am the reason you take those pills, not the entire reason but it is mostly me”

“No, Ace, I have depression. Depression isn’t blamed on a person or any one thing” I tell him. How

could he blame himself for my pills, I have been on them since I was kid. Ace grabs my face in his

hands and I see Tyson move out of the corner of my eye like he was about to jump his own brother if

needed.

“No, Lucy think. Think about it. I knew you were my mate when you were 12, you have been on

those pills since you were 12. Avery told me it was the aftermath of me” He doesn’t finish but Tyson

growls at him stepping toward him and Ace looks at him.

“I didn’t know, you know I would never deliberately cause her harm” Ace tells him, Tyson eyes

flicker to Tyrant and Ace turns his attention back to me. I was confused trying to piece together what he

was saying. I was 12 so what? He found out I was his mate when I was 12. It took a few minutes to

piece together what he was saying and my eyebrows shot up as recognition slipped over me.

I stared at him blinking back tears, Avery convinced me the pain I was feeling was due to PTSD of the

facility nearly all of us suffered fro9m it, the things they did to us in there were not easy things to get

over.

But Avery said the pain would get worse, that the pills would help to stop it being unbearable.

“Lucy?” Ace breathes his hands still cupping my face. “I swear I didn’t know, I never would have

been with her, I...was stupid and selfish. Please understand I wasn’t trying to hurt you”

“Let me go” I whisper to him. His lips part like he wants to say something but I just wanted to get

away from him. The amount times I had thought about ending my life just to make the pain stop and it

was because he was fucking her, because he was being untrue to the mate bond.

“Lucy please, just”

“Ace let me go” I tell him and he nods, dropping his hands from my face and stepping back. I jump Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

off the counter top. I start walking down the hall, my eyes burning with unshed tears when I feel warmth

pressing against my back as I stop at the spare bedroom door.

“No I am not sleeping without you again tonight, my room Lucy” Tyson says behind me his hand on

my hips steering me toward his room.

“Be mad at him all you want, but don’t hide away from me” Tyson whispers below my ear before

opening his bedroom door. He pushes it open before pushing me inside the room.
