The Alpha’s Forbidden Alpha
When Alpha King Theron inherits his father’s war, love is the last thing he needs—especially not for another man.
Surrounded by enemies and a council that already doubts the boy who sits on the throne his father died for, Theron rules with duty as his only compass, trying to ignore the pressure to give the pack an heir. Then Commander Cael—the silent, battle-scarred strategist whose victories have already become legend—is sent to fight beside him and protect him.
Cael is cold, brilliant, and maddeningly defiant, and Theron can’t fight the attraction he feels. The desire is forbidden, and in their world, even a whisper of affection between men is punishable by death.
Desperate to bury his feelings after a kiss one night, Theron sends Cael to the front lines and marries a noblewoman, convincing himself that distance will smother the fire. But when Cael saves his life on the battlefield, Theron feels the unmistakable pull of fated mates.
Only, Cael isn’t Cael.
He is Maera, a woman disguised as her dead twin brother, forced to live as a man to survive the battlefield and the laws that deny her a place in the packs army.
When Theron finds out while trying to further their intimacy one night, he feels betrayed.
Now, hunted by the council and surrounded by enemies, Theron must choose: his throne, or to protect the woman who lied to him—the woman fate chose to be his forbidden mate.

Chapter: Chapter 37: Ugly LiesIf Theron had a way to skip the emergency council meeting that had been called by his Beta, he would have. He sat in the room at the head of the table, looking bored out of his mind. His eyes wandered lazily across the room before finally settling on Beta Gerald. “I do not see Commander Cael.”“Last time I checked, Alpha Theron, Commander Cael is not part of the council.” It was Lord Hamish that replied, his nose upturned in annoyance. He leaned forward, resting his body weight on his clasped palms. “He is not meant to be here except when summoned. You give the man too many privileges.”“I am starting to think I am giving you too many privileges,” hissed Theron, not backing down. His eyes flashed a red, angry color for the briefest of seconds as they bored into Hamish’s.Beta Gerald waved his hand in an attempt to relieve the room’s tension but it was futile. “It is about our war prisoner, but first, I should like to address the division on this council since the late Alpha Theron—God

Chapter: Chapter 36: Top or Bottom… of a Commander“Cael is right,” Colin said, nodding his head.“And how do we do that without the council knowing?” Theron asked. He turned around to face them, his bare chest glistening with a bit of sweat. “We need secrecy.”“Cael and I will handle going into those districts to get men who will swear their loyalty,” said Ravvyne, looking among the group. “You and Colin should figure out a secret base where they can work. Away from the council… away from the palace, perhaps.”“Loyal men,” Theron shook his head. “Loyal guards who will not go to the council.”“If we can find three loyal men, ask them about their trustworthy friends? We can hire it out, can we not?” Cael asked.“I suppose you are right.”Theron looked at Ravvyne’s hand on Maera’s arm. He looked like he wanted to knock her hand away. He breathed in deeply, his nostrils flaring. “Let Colin go with you two; I will find men myself.”“Wait, why me?” Colin asked, looking up.“Because I need someone to make sure they don’t get themselves kill

Chapter: Chapter 35: A Most Alarming Use Of ImaginationShe looked up with red, teary eyes to see Cael with a worried look plastered on his face. For a moment, she thought she saw guilt flash across the commander's face. “Whatever is the matter, my lady?” he asked.Goddess, he’s so gentle, Lunara thought to herself. She had never really had a man be gentle with her or even show affection. Cael was different. She could still remember her marriage ceremony to Theron, and how Cael had been there for her, noticing what Theron hadn't.“I am quite alright,” she lied, sniffling.Maera gave her a look of disbelief. She had heard the sobs from quite a distance, and then she came to investigate only to see Lunara spiraling. Guilt prodded her heart as she remembered the night before, with Theron kissing her… with Theron in her bed.Well, he’s your mate, Naya whispered.It doesn’t justify it. She pulled out a handkerchief from her pocket and carefully wiped Lunara's eyes and the snot around her nose, then held out a hand to her.“You should not be on

Chapter: Chapter 34: A Daughter’s DilemmaLunara blinked back tears as she watched Theron shut the door, the sound of his footsteps receding with every step he took. She was torn between staying out and going after him, but eventually, she resigned to sinking into the velvet sheets draped across the bed.Theron was increasingly hard to please as the days went by. She kept wondering if it had something to do with the war months ago. He was now burdened by the war, or if he was just getting tired of her.Sleep evaded her despite the cool night air from the rain that pounded incessantly against the rooftops. She sat up and threw the sheets away, putting on her footwear and walking out the door.Her first thought was to look for Theron, to make sure he was safe, but what was even the point? Soon, she found her legs leading her to the dungeons, the cold wind sending her hair billowing out behind her. As she got to a corridor with the walls opening on one side, she shivered as splashes of water hit her bare skin.Finally, she was a

Chapter: Chapter 33: A Commander’s Guide to Avoiding ScandalMaera hesitated.“Yes… I would.” Theron sighed and bit his lip, looking away. He slid further onto the bed and lay back, staring up at the ceiling. After a moment, Maera moved beside him and did the same.The rain hammered harder against the roof. The curtains floated in the wind ans while Maera knew rain waa making it’s way through the windows, she chose to ignore it “It is not because I do not want to,” she added quietly.Theron turned his head toward her.“Because this is… wrong?” he asked. “Because we are men?”Maera swallowed.“It is wrong,” she said carefully. “You are the Alpha. I am a commander.”Theron scoffed softly.“Wrong?” he murmured. “The Moon Goddess says you are the perfect match for me and somehow that is wrong?”Maera exhaled slowly.“You have a wife.”“If I didnt have a wife, would things be different.”“Again, you are the alpha. You need a wife who will birth a strong heir flr ypu. And you have to abide by the rules of the pack and tradition irrespective of if t

Chapter: Chapter 32: A Bit of Impropriety"He passed out," Maera commented, staring at the unmoving body of the boy she found. Still, but the sound of his shallow breathing was just the only indication he was still alive.Theron dropped the tongs, breathing hard. His tunic was soaked with sweat. "Lock him up. Put two guards on the door. No one goes in or out without my word.""Yes, Alpha," the guard said.Maera went back to the dungeon three hours later. That had to be enough time for the boy to regain his consciousness. She hadn't informed Alpha Theron that she was going there—she needed to do things her own way, her own method.Theron tended to act on his impulse and anger, and it often got him nowhere.She walked down the stairs. Her lamp cast shadows that were shaky against the walls. She reached the cell and noticed the guards were not there.A slight tremor of fear coiled in her stomach. She pulled her dagger and walked to the iron bars. She looked inside and saw the boy lying on the floor, his body twisted in an unnatu
