Asher’s face crumbled, his pain raw, exposed. “I... I love her...”
Aiden’s eyes darkened, his power surging. “You have no right.” His aura flared, his Alpha power suffocating. “She’s mine.”
My heart stopped, my body trembling. He was claiming me... as his mate.
Asher’s face paled, his voice breaking. “She’s not a possession... she’s a person... she has the right to choose...” My voice caught in my throat, the words dying on my lips. I couldn’t say it. I couldn’t make the choice.
Because no matter who I chose, I would be breaking two hearts. And I couldn’t bear to see the pain in their eyes... pain that I would cause.
They stood before me, their faces tense, their bodies bruised, their eyes filled with desperate hope.
Aiden—the fierce protector who loved me with a passion that burned.
Asher—the gentle soul who cherished me with kindness and tenderness.
Axel—the cunning charmer who captivated me with his mystery and wit.
I loved them. I loved them all. But I could only choose one.
Aiden’s face twisted with anger, his power raging. “She’s my mate. I felt it first... I loved her first... she was mine before you even looked at her.”
Asher’s jaw tightened, his fists shaking. “You don’t own her. And you can’t force her to love you.”
Aiden lunged, his fists flying. Asher met him head-on, his power surging, his wolf roaring. They clashed, their bodies colliding, their power shaking the walls.
My heart shattered, my tears falling. They were fighting... brothers tearing each other apart... because of me.
But do you know what dear dairy? Alpha Axel just stood there watching them fight.
Axel watched them, his golden eyes gleaming with amusement. He leaned against the wall, his arms crossed, his posture lazy. “You two are pathetic.”
Aiden whirled, his eyes blazing. “Stay out of this, Axel.”
Axel’s smile widened, his voice mocking. “Or what? You’ll fight me too?”
Aiden’s aura flared, his power suffocating. “I won’t ask again.”
Axel stepped forward, his eyes cold, his power rising. “You think you’re stronger than me?” His golden eyes glowed, his wolf surfacing. “Let’s find out.”
They clashed, their power colliding, their wolves roaring. Aiden’s strength was brutal, relentless, his attacks fierce. But Axel was fast, cunning, his movements graceful, precise. Aiden’s fist flew, his power surging. But Axel dodged, his body twisting, his fist slamming into Aiden’s ribs.
Aiden growled, his face contorted with pain. But he didn’t stop. He charged again, his power raging, his wolf roaring.
They fought, their bodies moving with lethal grace, their power shaking the ground. They were Alphas... predators... brothers at war.
And they were going to kill each other because of me?...
But, Asher watched them, his face pale, his eyes wide. “Stop it! Please... stop...”
His voice broke, his shoulders shaking. “We’re brothers... we’re supposed to protect each other... not... not this...”
But they didn’t listen. They were consumed by rage, by jealousy, by the need to dominate. Asher stumbled forward, his hands outstretched. “Please... stop fighting... please...”
Axel’s eyes flashed, his power rising. “Then back off, Asher. Or I’ll take you down too.”
Aiden’s face darkened, his voice deadly. “You have no right to talk about family. Not after what you did.”
Asher’s face crumbled, his pain raw, exposed. “I... I never wanted to hurt you... I never wanted any of this...”
Aiden’s eyes filled with anger, with betrayal. “You did this. You broke us.”
Asher’s shoulders slumped, his body trembling. “I... I can’t help it... I love her...”
Aiden’s face hardened, his power flaring. “Then fight for her.” My heart stopped, my blood running cold. He was forcing them... forcing them to fight... for me. I thought they were going to stop fighting, but unfortunately they clashed again , their power raging, their wolves roaring. They fought with everything they had, their love, their pain, their anger.
They were brothers... bound by blood... but torn apart by love.
I screamed, my body trembling, my tears falling. “Stop! Please... stop...”
But they didn’t hear me. They were too far gone... too consumed by the battle... by their need to claim me.
Aiden’s fist flew, his power surging. Asher stumbled back, his body slamming into the wall, his face contorted with pain.
Axel charged, his movements fluid, graceful. He struck Aiden, his punch landing with brutal force, his eyes cold, detached.
They were brutal, relentless, merciless. They were Alpha predators... fighting for the right to claim me.
My heart shattered, my soul breaking. I was tearing them apart... destroying them.
I collapsed, my body trembling, my voice breaking. “Please... stop... please don’t do this...”
They didn’t stop. They were beyond reason... beyond hope. They were fighting for me... and they wouldn’t stop until one of them won. Or until one of them was dead. No! I can't let it happen...
I couldn’t let this happen. I couldn’t let them destroy each other... not because of me.
I had to end this. I had to make a choice... even if it broke my heart... even if it destroyed me.
I stood up, my body trembling, my heart racing. I stepped between them, my voice breaking. “Stop!”
They froze, their eyes locked on me, their power receding.
I took a deep breath, my tears falling. “I... I’ve made my choice.”
Their faces paled, their eyes wide, their bodies tense.
I was about to break their hearts... and mine.....
My heart was breaking, my soul shattering. How could I make this choice? How could I tear them apart?
But if I didn’t... they would destroy each other.
I took a shaky breath, my voice trembling. “I... I can’t...”
Their faces fell, their hope crumbling, their pain raw and exposed.
Aiden’s jaw tightened, his eyes darkening. “You have to choose, Aria. You can’t keep running.”
His voice was harsh, but his pain was clear, his heart breaking before my eyes.
Asher’s shoulders slumped, his body trembling. “I... I don’t want to force you... but... I can’t keep pretending that I don’t love you...”
His words shattered me, his pain crushing me. He was suffering... because of me.
