HER TWO MATES

CHAPTER TEN: THE BETRAYAL

The night was quiet.

Too quiet.

Aurora lay in the center of her massive bed, glowing beneath the silk sheets. Her belly shimmered with faint golden light, pulsing in time with two heartbeats—her own and the life inside her.

She hadn’t slept in days. The child kept moving, twisting, sending waves of magic through her body. Her breasts were fuller, heavier. Her ass more sensitive than ever. She could barely think without feeling wet.

But tonight, something was different.

She felt… watched.

A Voice From Within

She closed her eyes.

“Mother.”

Aurora jolted upright.

The voice wasn’t hers.

It came from inside her.

“Danger. He will kill us.”

Her pulse spiked.

“Who?” she whispered. “Which one?”

Silence.

Then—

“The one who hides his truth behind obsession.”

Jaxon’s Secret

Jaxon appeared in her room seconds later.

Shirtless. Muscles glistening with sweat. His eyes were red—not with lust. But something darker.

“I heard you scream,” he said. “Are you okay?”

Aurora nodded slowly, clutching the sheet around her. “Jax… why do you never let the others touch me when you’re around?”

He chuckled. “Because they don’t deserve to.”

He walked toward her, pulling the sheet down until her breasts were bare. He cupped one, squeezing gently, watching her face.

“They don’t touch you like I do,” he whispered. “They don’t know how.”

She shivered.

His touch was perfect.

But the voice echoed again.

“He is lying.”

Jaxon pushed her back, pinning her to the bed.

“I’ve wanted this since the moment you walked into that boardroom in that red dress,” he said, grinding against her.

She moaned as he slid down, kissing her stomach, then her thighs.

“I love every inch of you,” he said, licking slowly up her inner thigh. “Especially this perfect ass.”

He flipped her over, spreading her wide, and entered her roughly.

She screamed.

He moved fast. Hard. Possessive.

“I’ve been patient,” he growled. “Letting them think they had you. But you’ve always been mine.”

Aurora trembled. His c**k hit all the right spots, her body lighting up with every thrust.

But something in his voice—

Something was wrong.

The Truth Unleashed

When she came, magic exploded from her skin.

Jaxon roared—not in pleasure, but pain.

He flew back, hitting the wall.

His skin peeled.

He wasn’t fully human.

“Jaxon,” she whispered. “What are you?”

He snarled, eyes glowing black now. “I’m what you made me. When you chose the wrong mate the first time, I took a deal. Became something stronger. Just to have you.”

Her stomach pulsed.

The baby was afraid.

Alexander and the third mate burst into the room, weapons drawn.

“Get away from her,” Alexander growled.

“She’s mine!” Jaxon roared, lunging.

Aurora Ascends

But Aurora rose from the bed.

Floating.

Eyes glowing gold.

Hair like fire.

The baby inside her radiated divine heat.

She lifted one hand—and Jaxon froze mid-air.

“I loved you,” she whispered.

“But I won’t let you hurt my child.”

She closed her hand into a fist.

Jaxon screamed.

Power ripped through the air—

—and he was thrown from the mansion.

Alive.

Barely.

But banished.

Aftermath: A Choice, A Crown

Alexander pulled her close, kissing her temple.

“You’re changing,” he whispered. “You’re not just a mate now. You’re becoming…”

“Queen,” the third mate said quietly, kneeling before her.

Aurora clutched her belly.

“I didn’t choose this power,” she said. “But I’ll use it to protect my baby.”

She looked out at the night sky.

And then down at her hands.

“But there’s one thing I still don’t know…”

She looked at the two men before her.

“Which of you got me pregnant?”
