Chapter 87 – A Mate’s Trial

last update Date de publication: 2026-03-10 20:57:42

I didn’t sleep.

The bloodstained note lay folded on my desk long after dawn brushed pale light across my chamber walls.

Your mate will betray you first.

I must have read it a dozen times. The words hadn’t changed. They still scraped against my thoughts like claws on stone.

Riven stood by the window, arms folded across his chest, the early light carving sharp lines into his expression. He hadn’t spoken for several minutes.

Finally, he turned to face me. “You believe it.”

It wasn’t a question.

    There was no time left. Kael’s blade hovered against Riven’s throat, sharp enough that one more inch would kill him. Blood traced slowly down Riven’s neck, dark against his skin. And Kael was shaking. Not from fear. From resistance. “Aria…” he rasped again, like some buried part of him was clawing its way toward the surface. But Damien’s presence poisoned the air around us, tightening invisible chains I couldn’t see. The dagger in my hand pulsed once. Then harder. Waiting. Demanding. Choose. My lungs burned. If I hesitated, Riven would die. If I unleashed the dagger, I didn’t know what it would cost. Riven’s eyes locked onto mine. Steady. Certain. “Do it,” he said. Kael flinched violently at the words. “No,” he growled, voice cracking. “Don’t” The blade pressed deeper. A thin stream of blood slid down Riven’s throat. Something inside me snapped. The shadows exploded around my feet as I raised the dagger fully for the first time. Not defensively. Not instincti

    The symbol pulsed.My dagger answered.For a heartbeat, everything else fell away, the shattered clearing, Damien’s presence, the weight of the curse.All I could see was that mark.Identical.Impossible.“Who are you?” I demanded, my voice still edged with the lingering echo of the shadows.The masked stranger lowered their hand slowly, as if the reveal had already said enough.“You already know what I am,” they replied.“I asked who,” I snapped.Behind me, I felt Riven step closer despite the strain in his body. His presence anchored me, steady and unyielding.“That symbol,” he said sharply. “It belongs to Shadowfang’s first Alpha line. It should not exist outside our blood.”The stranger tilted their head slightly. “Blood has a way of traveling farther than loyalty.”My grip tightened around the dagger. “You’re connected to my grandmother.”A pause.Then,“Yes.”The answer hit harder than I expected.“How?” I pressed. “What did she hide? What didn’t she tell me?”The shadows at my

    The vortex around me did not collapse. It quieted. Like a storm lowering its voice. The masked stranger stood untouched at the edge of the fractured clearing, silver and black cloak barely stirring despite the currents of power still twisting around my body. Damien had gone still, calculating again. Even he seemed unwilling to interrupt whatever was unfolding. “I knew your grandmother,” the stranger repeated. The words scraped across my ribs. My grandmother had strength carved into bone. She had raised me with stories of discipline and restraint, never fear. Never weakness. “She never feared the full moon,” I said, though the certainty in my voice faltered. The stranger tilted their head slightly. “No?” The shadows around me shifted uneasily. A memory surfaced—unbidden. My grandmother locked every door on the night of the Blood Moon. Her hands trembled only once, when she thought I wasn’t looking. The way she burned old letters in the hearth and refused to speak of our lin

  • Alpha Asher's Forbidden Mate   Chapter 91 – The Masked Stranger

    The shadows stilled around me, as if listening.The masked figure’s words echoed through the devastation.Why did your grandmother fear the full moon?My pulse roared in my ears.Grandmother Selene had never feared anything.She had stood before Alphas twice her size and made them bow with nothing more than her voice. She had faced rogues, hunters, betrayal—and never once did I see hesitation in her eyes.But the full moon…Memory flickered.The way she used to lock herself inside the old stone cellar once a year.The way she forbade anyone from approaching the northern cliffs on the brightest night of winter.The way her hands trembled—just once—when I asked her why.The vortex around me tremored in response to my thoughts.“You’re lying,” I said, though the certainty in my voice was fading.The masked figure took another step forward.The shadows parted again.They parted.Not torn open.Not forced.Yielded.That terrified me more than Damien ever had.Behind me, I heard Riven strug

  • Alpha Asher's Forbidden Mate   Chapter 90 – Shadows Unleashed

    “Now, the heir belongs to me.”Damien’s words didn’t echo.They settled.Heavy. Final.Something inside me cracked.Not fear.Not a weakness.Restraint.The ancient dagger in his hand pulsed in rhythm with my fading heartbeat. Riven’s arm tightened around me, his body a shield I could barely feel anymore.I was slipping.Not into unconsciousness.Into something deeper.“You don’t own me,” I whispered.Damien stepped closer. “You misunderstand. I don’t need to own you. I only need to awaken you.”The shadows at my feet trembled.Not because I summoned them.Because they heard him.I felt it then—the fracture in my control. The barrier I had spent my entire life building to keep the darkness contained.The healer’s fragment still burned faintly inside my chest. The dagger throbbed in my palm. Kael lay motionless. Riven’s pulse thundered against my back.And Damien smiled like he had already won.Something primal rose in my throat.Enough.I stopped fighting the drain.Stopped trying to

    There was no saving them both.The realization tore through me like a blade.Kael’s arm drew back. His strike would be fatal this time—clean, direct, unstoppable.Riven shifted behind me, preparing to counter.If he moved, Kael would die.If I hesitated, Riven would.So I chose.I didn’t block.I redirected.The dagger in my hand burned as I twisted my wrist sharply and stepped into Kael’s attack instead of away from it. At the last second, I altered the current of power running through the blade—angling it sideways rather than forward.The air between us warped.Kael’s strike veered violently off course as if seized by an invisible hand. His blade tore past my shoulder instead of Riven’s heart, slicing through fabric and skin.Pain flared hot and immediate.But it wasn’t deep enough to kill.The redirected force exploded outward.Kael was thrown sideways, crashing into the frost-covered earth with a brutal thud. His weapon skidded across the clearing.Riven lunged toward me at the sa

    The council chamber crackled with tension. Even the torches lining the stone walls seemed to burn lower, their light struggling against the storm brewing within. Riven stood before the elders, jaw clenched, his aura thick with dominance. I could feel it ripple through the air—sharp, electric, suffo

    The mark burned again tonight.A low, smoldering ache that pulsed beneath my skin, just below my wrist — where Selene’s fire had kissed me. The scent of rain drifted through the open window, but even that couldn’t drown out the whisper curling in my head.Do you feel it, little wolf?Her voice was

    The air between us feels alive—like the moment before lightning strikes.Riven’s fingers are still wrapped around my wrist, the weight of the bond-breaking dagger heavy between us. His eyes burn with something raw, dark, and dangerous. “You’d really use this?” he growls, his voice low enough to sha

    The dagger trembled in my palm, its cold steel pressing against my palm like it knew the weight of the choice I was about to make. My heart pounded as I stared at the edge, the runes carved into the blade glowing faintly under the dim torchlight. The seer’s words replayed in my mind: “A mate bond c
