SEBASTIAN

I rose up slowly, my body still humming with the aftereffects of what we had just done.

Every muscle felt loose and satisfied, but my mind was already beginning to process the reality of the situation.

"I should return to my room," I murmured, not quite meeting Darius's eyes.

A smirk played at the corner of his mouth. "Are you running away from me?"

Heat rushed to my face, and I could feel the flush spreading down my neck. "I am not running away. I just think you are taking it easy on me, so there is no reason for me to run."

Darius chuckled, the sound low and rich. "You figured that out, did you?"

I paused in the act of reaching for my clothes, turning to look at him properly. "What do you mean?"

"You are new to all of this," Darius explained, his dark eyes watching me with an intensity that made my breath catch. "What we are doing now is me prepping you for the bigger experiences in the future."

My mouth went dry at the implication. If this was just preparatio

  • ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE    The decision made

    Chapter 111SEBASTIAN That night, I lay in my small quarters trying to sleep. But rest wouldn't come.Instead, I felt it. The bond pulling at me, sending sensations that weren't my own flooding through my consciousness.Fear. Grief. Pain.Darius was having nightmares again.I could feel his chest tightening, his breath quickening. I could sense the panic and sorrow washing over him in waves. This had been happening for days now—every night, the nightmares came. And every night, I felt them through our bond.He was grieving Adrian. That much was clear. Despite everything that had happened, despite Adrian being a traitor and a vessel for his father's evil plans, Darius had still cared for him in some way. And now he was processing that loss the only way he knew how by bottling it up during the day and letting it consume him at night.I wanted to help. I wanted to go to him, to comfort him, to let him know he didn't have to face this alone. But how could I? Darius had made it clear

  • ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE    The distance between us

    Chapter 110SEBASTIAN Days passed. Then a week. Then two.The pack was healing. I could see it everywhere I looked. Warriors who'd been injured in the battle were recovering, their wounds closing, their strength returning. Families who'd been separated were reunited, learning to be whole again. The rescued captives were adjusting to being home, the fear slowly fading from their eyes.Everyone was healing.Everyone except Darius and me.I'd been reassigned back to my guard duties, stationed outside Darius's chambers like before. But Pete wasn't with me anymore. He'd been transferred to oversee the borders with the other guards. The nightwalker threat was gone, so there was no need for him to stay close to protect me.I missed having him nearby. Missed the easy friendship, the way we could talk about anything. Now I spent my shifts alone, standing in silent corridors, trying not to think about the person on the other side of the door.Trying not to think about how close Darius wa

  • ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE    An heartfelt confession

    Chapter 109DARIUS I woke to pounding on my door. Heavy, insistent knocking that pulled me from sleep far too quickly. My body protested the movement as I tried to sit up, muscles aching and wounds pulling.The door opened before I could call out, and a figure slipped inside. Sebastian. He crossed the room quickly and came to stand at the end of my bed, looking down at me with concern clear on his face.Then he poked my stomach.I grunted at the unexpected contact, still half-asleep and confused.Sebastian smiled, the expression lighting up his whole face. "Good morning, Alpha."I didn't answer. Couldn't answer. Just sighed and rolled over, pulling the blanket up over my head like that would make the morning disappear."Are you alright?" Sebastian's voice was closer now, worried. "The ceremony is about to begin. Torren sent me to wake you. He tried reaching you through the mind link but it wasn't going through."Right. The ceremony. The celebration we'd planned. I'd completely forg

  • ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE    Will deal with everything tomorrow

    Chapter 108DARIUS I stood there alone in my office, Torren's words echoing in my head. Then I sighed deeply and slumped into my chair, suddenly exhausted despite having just woken up a few hours ago.Torren was right. Everything was complicated. The mate bond between Sebastian and me was undeniable now, but I had no idea what to do about it. How to approach it. How to handle the fact that I'd spent months suppressing it, keeping Sebastian at arm's length, treating our relationship as nothing more than a physical arrangement.Could I even fix that now? Did Sebastian want me to try?The uncertainty gnawed at me, but I pushed it aside. There was work to do. Time to think about personal matters later.I spent the rest of the day dealing with the aftermath of the battle. Writing letters to the families of fallen warriors. Coordinating with other packs to return their rescued captives. Organizing the ceremony for tomorrow. The tasks were endless and exhausting.By the time evening ar

  • ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE    Life is too short

    Chapter 107DARIUS I was sorting through papers on my desk when the door creaked open slowly. Someone poked their head through the gap, hesitant and careful."Can I come in?" Sebastian's voice was quiet, uncertain.A smile tugged at my lips despite the soreness in my body. "Come in."The door opened wider and Sebastian stepped inside. The sight of him made me wrinkle my nose immediately. He was still covered in blood and ash from the battlefield, his clothes stiff with dried gore, his hair matted and filthy."You should have washed yourself up and changed before coming here," I pointed out, though there was no real criticism in my tone.Sebastian sighed, his shoulders sagging. "I was worried about you. I needed to check on you first before doing anything else."Something warm bloomed in my chest at his words. He'd been worried. He'd come here first, before seeing to his own needs, just to make sure I was alright.I set down the papers I'd been organizing and walked towards him, ar

  • ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE    We did it!

    Chapter 106SEBASTIAN The battlefield was a nightmare made real.Ash drifted through the air like grey snow, coating everything it touched. Smoke rose from dozens of small fires still burning across the scorched earth. The smell was overwhelming—burnt flesh, blood, and that distinctive copper-rot scent of nightwalkers mixing into something that made my stomach turn.Bodies lay everywhere. Nightwalkers reduced to charred husks, their features melted beyond recognition. Wolves who'd fallen in battle, their bodies broken and bloodied. Some had their heads severed clean off. Others had swords or claws driven through their chests. The ground was dark with blood, so much blood that it pooled in the low spots and turned the ash into a muddy red paste.I looked down at myself and realized I was covered in it too. Blood soaked through my clothes, dripped from my hands, matted my hair to my head. Some of it was mine—I had cuts and bruises all over from the fighting. But most of it belon
