ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Shattered hope
Chapter 121Sebastian The next morning, I woke to pounding on my door.I stumbled out of bed, still half-asleep, and opened it to find Torren standing there. His expression was grim."The council wants to see you," he announced without preamble.My stomach dropped. "Did I do something wrong?"Torren sighed heavily. "You'll know once you get there. Come on. They're waiting."I dressed quickly and followed Torren through the pack house. My mind raced with possibilities. What could the council want with me? Had someone reported me for something? Was this about the rumours?Torren led me to the throne room—the formal meeting space used for official pack business. The heavy doors were closed, guards stationed outside.This was serious then. Whatever was happening, it warranted full formal proceedings.The guards opened the doors as we approached. Inside, the council members were already assembled, seated in their usual positions around the room. And there, in the Alpha's chair at the head
ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Taking my stance
Chapter 120Sebastian's POVI heard the rumours on my way back to my quarters after dinner.Pack members huddled in small groups, their voices dropping to whispers when they saw me approaching. But the corridors carried sound well, and I caught snippets of conversation as I passed."Did you see how the Alpha defended him?""There's definitely something going on between them.""But he's just an omega. Why would the Alpha—""Maybe that's exactly why. You know how some Alphas prefer—"I walked faster, my face burning. This was exactly what Darius had been afraid of. Exactly why he'd insisted on keeping distance between us. And now the whole pack was gossiping about it anyway.Pete was waiting outside my quarters when I arrived, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. He took one look at my face and pushed off the wall."You heard the rumours," he observed."Hard not to," I muttered, unlocking my door. "They're everywhere."Pete followed me inside and shut the door behind us. "Don
ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE The Accusation
Chapter 119Darius POVThe main hall had been set up for a formal dinner. Long tables arranged in a U-shape, with the head table elevated slightly on a platform. The visiting Alphas were already assembled, talking amongst themselves whilst waiting for the meal to begin.I took my seat at the center of the head table, with Torren to my right as always. Lance positioned himself to my left, too close for comfort but not inappropriately so.Sebastian was standing at the corner of the room, positioned where he could reach me quickly if needed but far enough away to not be obtrusive. He was in his formal guard uniform, standing at attention with his hands clasped behind his back.Our eyes met briefly across the room. I saw the tension in his shoulders, the worry in his expression. He'd probably heard the rumors too. Probably knew that pack members were gossiping about us.I looked away before the connection could linger too long. Before anyone watching could read anything into it.The maids
ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE The rumors
Chapter 118Darius's POVThe whispers started the next morning.I heard them as I walked through the corridors of the pack house. Quiet murmurs that stopped abruptly when I appeared, only to resume the moment I'd passed. Hushed conversations behind closed doors. Speculative looks from pack members who quickly averted their eyes when I caught them staring.Something was spreading through the pack. Some kind of rumor or gossip that had everyone talking.I was making my way towards my office when I passed near the maid quarters. The door was slightly ajar, and voices drifted out into the corridor."I'm telling you; I saw the way the Alpha looked at him during the meeting," one voice was saying. Female, young, probably one of the newer maids."But Sebastian is just a guard," another voice responded. Older, more cautious. "Why would the Alpha be interested in someone like that?""I don't know, but there's definitely something going on. The way he defended Sebastian when that Northern Alpha
ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Perfect week
Chapter 116Lance's POVAfter the feast, Darius finally stood from the head table and gestured for me to follow him. His expression was carefully blank, giving nothing away. But I could see the tension in his shoulders, the tight set of his jaw.He was uncomfortable. Good. That meant my little display had gotten under his skin.We walked through the corridors of the pack house in silence. Pack members we passed bowed their heads respectfully to both of us, though I noticed their eyes lingering with curiosity. Word of our reunion had clearly spread already.Darius stopped in front of a door and pushed it open. "You'll be staying here."I glanced inside. The room was spacious and well-appointed, clearly one of the better guest quarters. A large bed dominated the space, with a sitting area near the window and a private washroom visible through another door."First room accommodations," I observed with a smile. "How thoughtful of you.""Don't read into it," Darius responded flatly. "It's s
ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Lance, the Alpha rival
Chapter 115Lance PovThe moment I saw him standing there at the front of the pack house, my heart did that familiar skip it always did around Darius.He looked exactly the same. Maybe a bit more tired, perhaps. Lines around his eyes that hadn't been there before. But still commanding, still powerful, still devastatingly handsome in that stern, unapproachable way of his.Darius stood with his arms folded behind his back, wearing a black wool cloak that made his grey eyes stand out even more. His sword was sheathed at his side, ready for use even at a formal greeting. That cold, stern look on his face—the one that made most Alphas nervous—was firmly in place.But I wasn't most Alphas. I'd seen beneath that mask. I knew the man who existed under all that control.I dismounted from my horse with deliberate grace, taking my time. The gathered pack members watched with curiosity as I made my entrance. I waved to them, smiling warmly, playing the role of friendly visiting Alpha to perfection
