Alpha Asher's Forbidden Mate Chapter 22 – A Mate’s Rage
The scent of blood still clung to the sand. My blood.My knees shook as the whispers rippled through the arena, their weight heavier than the wounds still burning across my skin. They doubted me. They judged me. Some even looked hungry for me to fall.Then the ground itself seemed to tremble.Riven.He stalked into the Trial ring like a storm given flesh, his eyes blazing with a fury so raw the crowd fell silent at once. The growls in his throat weren’t for the warriors I’d slain. They were for me—no, for what had been done to me. His gaze locked onto mine, and I swore the air itself thickened, every wolf present holding their breath.I had never seen him look so close to losing control.“Enough,” his voice cracked like a whip, commanding silence. He didn’t even glance at the elders, or Damien smirking from the shadows. His stride cut through the blood-soaked sand, every line of his body radiating possession, dominance, fury.Before I could find words, his hand clamped around my arm,
Alpha Asher's Forbidden Mate Chapter 21 – Blood on the Sand
The air in the arena was thick with dust, the scent of sweat and iron curling around me like a predator. My heart slammed against my ribs, each beat echoing in my skull as the crowd’s murmurs rose like a low tide. I stepped onto the sand, and it crunched beneath my boots. One wrong move, one misstep, and it would swallow me whole.Three warriors waited for me. Trained, precise, their eyes gleaming with hunger for victory. The Elders had chosen this Trial to test me—to see if I was worthy of the Shadowfang legacy. And yet, in their eyes, I was already a curiosity. A girl who had returned from exile, alone, untested, yet standing on the precipice of survival.I clenched my fists. “I am Aria Thorn,” I whispered to myself. “Shadowfang’s blood runs through me. I survive.”The first warrior lunged, steel glinting under torchlight. My body moved before my mind did, ducking under the arc of his blade. The sand sprayed into the air as I rolled, claws grazing the ground—not literal claws, but i
Alpha Asher's Forbidden Mate Chapter 20 – Trial by Fang
The council chamber was colder than any grave. Shadows clung to the carved stone walls, tall torches hissing like they could sense blood would be spilled before the night was over. My grandmother’s words still rattled in my skull—two Alpha corpses, and you standing between them… one you love must die.I couldn’t shake it. Not when the council’s heavy silence weighed like chains across my shoulders. Not when every eye in the chamber glared at me as if my very breath was treason.Alpha Riven stood at the head of the circle, carved from shadow and ice. His gaze found me, unreadable, cold. But it lingered—long enough to scald.“Aria Shadowfang,” Elder Theron’s gravelly voice broke the hush. “You are accused of betrayal. Of conspiring with enemies, of destabilizing the balance of this pack. Do you deny it?”My throat burned. “Yes.”The word was barely more than a whisper, but it cracked against the chamber like lightning.Murmurs hissed through the crowd—wolves snarling low in their throat
Alpha Asher's Forbidden Mate Chapter 19 – The Seer’s Last Vision
The air in my grandmother’s hut always smelled of sage and smoke, thick with herbs that clung to the skin. Tonight, though, it felt heavier—like the walls themselves were pressing in, suffocating me with secrets. The fire crackled low in the center, shadows dancing against the rough wooden beams, and my grandmother sat hunched before it, her eyes glassy, staring not at me but at something I couldn’t see.“Grandmother?” My voice wavered, soft, like I feared disturbing whatever fragile thread tethered her to this world.Her head turned slowly. The sight of her eyes sent chills racing down my spine. The cloudy whites shimmered faintly, pale silver bleeding into her pupils as though the Moon Goddess herself had dipped her gaze in light. Her visions were coming again.“You feel it too,” she whispered, her voice cracked and thin, but every word pierced like steel. “The threads of fate tugging tighter. Fire. Blood. Shadows entwining with light.”I froze. My heart thudded painfully, rememberi
Alpha Asher's Forbidden Mate Chapter 18 – The Alpha’s Punishment
The sting of silence was worse than the whip of any blade.Dozens of eyes pinned me in place, some gleaming with pity, others sharp with contempt. The council chamber smelled of burning resin and sweat, a suffocating mix that made the air heavy in my lungs.Riven stood before the assembly like carved stone, his voice a blade cutting through the murmurs.“Aria Shadowfang,” he declared, my family name ringing louder than my heartbeat. “From this day forward, you are stripped of your title. No longer heir. No longer of standing in this pack.”The words slammed into me, harder than claws. My knees threatened to give, but I forced them straight. Pride was the only shield I had left.A ripple tore through the crowd. Whispers spread like wildfire.She’s nothing now.Disgrace to the Shadowfang name.Why does he keep her here at all?I didn’t dare look at them, but I felt every sneer, every narrowed eye searing my skin.And then there was Damien.He leaned lazily against one of the stone pilla
Alpha Asher's Forbidden Mate Chapter 17 – Damien’s Manipulation
The ruins breathed with silence. Dust swirled in the moonlight slanting through cracked stone walls, and the journal trembled in my hands. My father’s handwriting—firm, deliberate—spoke of fire, of blood, of a prophecy that reeked of doom.I should have felt relief at finding a piece of him, but all I felt was cold dread.“You shouldn’t be here, Aria.”The voice curled around me like velvet dipped in poison. My grip on the journal faltered as I turned. Damien leaned against a broken pillar, his smile sharp, his golden hair catching the pale light. His eyes—wolf-bright, calculating—were fixed on the book in my hands.“I should’ve known you’d sniff around the past,” he drawled, pushing off the pillar and circling me slowly, like a predator who had all the time in the world. “Tell me… did you find the part about the curse? About how it all leads back to you?”My heart hammered. He knew. Or at least, he wanted me to believe he knew.“This doesn’t concern you,” I said, forcing steel into m
