Alpha Asher's Forbidden Mate Chapter 16 – Shadows of the Past
The Shadowfang ruins stretched before me like the skeleton of some great, fallen beast. Moonlight sliced through jagged stones, glinting on cracked arches and moss-choked walls. I shivered—not from the chill, though the night air bit at my skin—but from the oppressive silence. Every echo of my boots against the stone floors seemed louder than it should be, like the ruins themselves were holding their breath.I shouldn’t have come.And yet, some invisible thread tugged me forward, guiding me deeper into the hollowed remains. My father’s voice, long buried beneath grief and exile, seemed to whisper with the wind, pulling me toward the altar where his shadow still lingered. The air smelled of dust and old ash, and beneath that, a faint, metallic tang that reminded me of blood. Old blood. Forgotten blood.The hall’s floor, cracked and uneven, shifted under my feet. I paused, brushing my fingers over a jagged stone. Something was off. There—a loose slab.I dropped to my knees, prying at it
Alpha Asher's Forbidden Mate Chapter 15 – Damien’s Temptation
My hand still throbbed where Riven had crushed it before the entire pack. The Moonlight mark on my wrist pulsed like a brand, mocking me with its faint glow. The crowd’s gasps and whispers still echoed in my head, their eyes burning hotter than fire. I wanted to vanish, to sink into the earth, but instead I felt my knees buckle.Before I hit the floor, strong arms caught me.Damien.He cradled me against him with practiced ease, as though he had been waiting for this moment. His smile—a flash of pearly perfection—was for the pack’s benefit. To them, he looked like a gallant savior stepping in when the mighty Alpha cast me aside. But when his mouth brushed my ear, I caught the words no one else could hear.“Pathetic, wasn’t it?”The venom was wrapped in velvet, sweetened by the warm timbre of his voice. I stiffened, but he tightened his grip, pressing me closer until the crowd only saw a protective embrace.“You don’t need him, Aria,” he murmured, brushing a stray strand of hair from m
Alpha Asher's Forbidden Mate Chapter 14 – Public Rejection
The arena was silent, the air thick with tension. Even the morning mist seemed to hold its breath, curling around the pack like a cloak of anticipation. My heart thundered in my chest, every beat a warning I refused to heed. I could feel the mate bond still pulsing through my veins, its silver fire lingering, aching to scream out again.Riven’s grip on my hand was iron, but the touch that had burned with connection yesterday now carried ice. His eyes, sharp and unyielding, held me in place. I wanted to pull away, but the bond made it impossible. Every nerve in my body was alive, torn between the desire to flee and the shame of being exposed.The council stared, wide-eyed, mouths tightening. The pack’s whispers were a low, churning tide, growing louder as they realized the truth that I already knew: everyone had seen it. The bond—our bond—was undeniable.Riven’s jaw tightened, and he leaned close, his voice low and sharp enough that only I could hear it.“I’ll never claim you,” he whis
Alpha Asher's Forbidden Mate Chapter 13 – A Dangerous Training
The memory of Riven’s grip on my wrist still burned in my mind as I stepped onto the frost-slicked training ground. Morning mist clung to the earth like a warning, swirling around my boots as I approached the center. The pack’s whispers followed me, slicing through the chill. Every pair of eyes seemed to weigh me, to measure my worth—and my failure.Riven stood at the far end of the arena, unmoving, a pillar of control. His gaze found me instantly, piercing, icy, and merciless. My pulse jumped. The bond had throbbed in my skin the night before, and now it pulsed again, a steady drumbeat that refused to be ignored.“Shadowfang,” he called, his voice cutting through the mist like a knife. “Today, you prove your place here. Or you prove you should have stayed in exile.”Damien lounged behind the fence, arms crossed, smirk curling across his lips. His expression said he had already won before we’d begun. My stomach tightened, but I refused to give him the satisfaction of seeing me falter.
Alpha Asher's Forbidden Mate Chapter 12 – Riven’s Command
The healer’s hut was suffocating by morning. The stale scent of herbs clung to my lungs, and my grandmother’s shallow breaths echoed in my head long after I stepped outside. The mark on my wrist still throbbed faintly, as if the vision of fire and blood had bled into me. I thought I’d have a moment of silence, a breath to think. But silence never lasts in Shadowfang.Two guards were waiting at the path’s edge, stiff-backed, their eyes fixed on me as though I were some dangerous creature barely leashed.“Alpha commands your presence.”The words were clipped, final. My chest tightened. Of course he did.They flanked me all the way to the council hall, where last night’s chaos still lingered in the air. The scent of scorched blood flame, whispers of my name, the weight of the Moonlight Ceremony shattered before its end. The hall had been cleared, but the heaviness remained, pressed into the stone as if it would never fade.And there he was.Riven Cade stood at the dais, the Alpha’s thron
Alpha Asher's Forbidden Mate Chapter 11 – The Heir’s Burden
The healer’s hut smelled of sage and smoke, but no amount of herbs could cover the sharp scent of blood and fear. My grandmother lay on the cot, her skin pale as moonlight, her breath shallow. The wrinkles on her face looked deeper than I remembered, carved lines of a woman who had carried too many visions, too much truth, on her shoulders.I hovered near the bed, afraid to touch her, afraid she might shatter like thin glass if I did.“She collapsed after speaking before the council,” the healer whispered, his eyes darting to the door as though the walls themselves were listening. “Her strength is waning, Aria. But before she fell… she said the visions came again.”A chill traced my spine. I swallowed hard. “What visions?”The healer’s mouth tightened, like the words themselves might curse him. Still, he bent closer, his voice trembling. “She saw fire and blood. And you—” his gaze locked on me, heavy, accusing—“you were at the center of it.”For a moment, the world tilted. My knees wo
