ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE The Intimate Distraction
Chapter 127Lance's POVI walked back into the ballroom feeling thoroughly satisfied with myself. Sebastian had been broken down on that terrace, tears streaming down his face, finally accepting his place.The plan was working perfectly. Now I just needed one more push to ensure Sebastian would leave for good.I'd barely made it three steps into the room when a young male omega approached me. He was handsome enough with dark hair, lean build, probably in his early twenties. I recognized him from the pack's agricultural workers."Alpha Lance," he greeted quietly, bowing his head. "I'm ready. Should I go to him now?"I glanced across the ballroom to where Darius stood talking with some of the visiting Alphas. He looked distracted, his eyes occasionally drifting towards the entrance like he was waiting for someone.Waiting for Sebastian, probably. How pathetic."Be easy about it," I instructed the omega in a low voice. "Approach him casually. Make it seem like you just want to dance w
ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE A friend in need is a friend indeed
Chapter 126Sebastian POVI stood there on the empty terrace, shaking and crying and feeling like my entire world had just collapsed around me.Maybe Lance was right. Maybe the best thing I could do for Darius was leave. Disappear and let him move on with someone appropriate. Someone who wouldn't be an embarrassment or a liability.The thought of leaving made my chest ache even worse. This pack was my home. These people were my family. And Darius...But what did I have here really? A job I'd been pulled from. A reputation destroyed by corruption allegations. A mate bond that would never be acknowledged. And a man I loved who couldn't even look at me anymore.Maybe leaving was the right choice.I don't know how long I stood there, lost in miserable thoughts. Could have been minutes or hours. Time felt meaningless."Sebastian?"I turned to find Pete standing in the terrace doorway, his face creased with concern."Pete," I managed to say. "What are you doing out here?""Looking for y
ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Cornered
Chapter 125Sebastian's POVI couldn't stay in that ballroom another second.The moment I'd seen Lance pull Darius onto the dance floor, the moment I'd watched them move together with the kind of easy intimacy that spoke of shared history, something inside me had broken.I'd pushed through the crowd blindly, not caring who I bumped into or what they thought. I just needed air and space. Needed to be anywhere but there watching the man I loved dance with someone else.The terrace was blessedly empty when I stumbled out onto it. The cool night air hit my face, making me realize I was crying. Tears were streaming down my cheeks despite my best efforts to hold them back.I gripped the stone railing with both hands, my fingers shaking so badly I could barely hold on. My chest felt like it was being crushed, each breath painful and difficult.The image kept replaying in my mind. Darius and Lance on the dance floor. Lance's hand on Darius's waist. The way they moved together like they'd
ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE The Grand Ball Begins
Chapter 124Darius's POVI hadn't wanted to believe the documents. Every instinct I had screamed that Sebastian would never betray the pack, would never engage in corruption for personal gain.But then the elders had stepped forward and presented their case with such conviction. And worse—the witnesses. Pack members I'd known for years, standing up one by one to attest that they'd seen Sebastian accept bribes. That they'd watched him steal from pack stores and witnessed behaviour completely at odds with the loyal guard I thought I knew.How could I ignore that? How could I dismiss so much testimony, so much evidence?The meeting had ended hours ago, but I couldn't stop replaying it in my mind. Sebastian's face when I'd confronted him. The way his eyes had kept finding mine, silently begging me to believe him. To defend him. To say I knew he was innocent.And what had I done? I'd said those terrible words. Accused him of being power-hungry and suggested his omega status made him mor
ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE He's always mine
Chapter 123Lance POVThat afternoon, Torren made an announcement during the council meeting."We'll be holding a grand ball," he declared. "to welcome the Northern Alphas properly and to honour all the packs who faced disaster during the nightwalker attacks."There were murmurs of approval around the table. A celebration would be good for morale, would help the pack move forward from recent traumas."It will be a formal event," Torren continued. "All pack members are invited, along with our visiting guests. We want everyone in a celebratory mood. A chance to come together and remember we survived."Darius nodded his approval, though he looked distracted. His mind was clearly elsewhere.Probably thinking about Sebastian and those damning documents."We'll need all hands on deck for preparations," Torren added. "Decorating the hall, arranging food and entertainment, coordinating security. I'll be assigning tasks to everyone over the next few hours."After the meeting, I saw Torren ap
ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE A wolf who loves war
Chapter 122Lance's POVI woke to the sound of urgent footsteps in the corridor outside my guest quarters and raised voices. The unmistakable energy of something significant happening.I dressed quickly and stepped out to find pack members hurrying past, whispering amongst themselves."The council called Sebastian to the throne room," one maid was saying to another."Is it about the documents?" her companion asked."Must be. The elders looked furious when they went in."I smiled to myself and followed the general flow of traffic, curious to see how this would play out.I didn't go directly to the throne room, of course—that would be too obvious. But close enough to catch glimpses of what was happening.The throne room doors were closed, but I could hear raised voices from within. Sebastian's voice was high and desperate. Darius's voice on the other hand was cold and controlled. The elders weigh in with accusations and questions.I positioned myself near a window that overlooked the

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?"Torr

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
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
