Isabella’s pov

I lay still, my body stiff with suppressed rage, as their voices filtered through the walls. Every word made my skin crawl, my nails biting into my palms as I clenched my fists tightly. These monsters were plotting the end of my child’s life. My child. My blood boiled, but I kept my breathing steady, pretending to sleep while my mind churned with desperation. I needed to get out of this house—needed to escape before they destroyed me, or worse, my baby.

“I’ll be leaving now,” Maris said, her voice calm but commanding. “You’ll have to keep a closer eye on her. This can’t happen again. You know the last thing we want is to raise suspicions.” Her words were low, calculated, meant for Zachary’s ears alone. But I heard every syllable clearly.

“You don’t have to worry, Mom,” Zachary replied smoothly, his voice dripping with faux confidence. “She’ll be under my control.” The door clicked shut behind her, and my heart raced. Under his control? My stomach churned with di

    Asher’s POV “Is this a joke?” I scoff. Moonlight skittered off a dozen pairs of eyes as I stood in the clearing, wolves from half the clans ringed around me. The circle felt tight, like a noose. “You called me here just to humiliate me.” A laugh—sharp, bitter—escaped me. “We are the Council,” the eldest stepped forward, his voice dry as old leaves. “We must protect our kind at all costs. You are a danger to our people.” A ripple of murmurs rolled through the crowd. My jaw tightened. How had I let myself fall for this? I’d thought maybe—stupid me—that he wanted to talk about something other than petty grievances. Old hags and their speeches. “I don’t need you protecting my pack,” I said, turning away. “Protect yours—keep me out of it.” “A hybrid,” he said, loud enough that more than a few heads snapped toward me. The word landed like a stone. “A wolf with human blood is taboo. Before you ruin us all, we have no choice but to kill you.” I laughed. It was a sound that didn’t

    Zachary’s POV “You shouldn’t be here,” I say the moment I open the door, my voice sharp with annoyance. “Please, Zach… just let me in,” she pleads, already pushing her way inside before I can stop her. I let her. She paces the living room like a trapped animal, her hands trembling, her eyes darting everywhere but at me. I scoff. “If you came here to make another excuse—save it.” “I know I might be the worst mother alive,” she blurts out, desperation thick in her tone. “But everything I did, Zachary—everything—was for us. So we could have a better future.” My jaw tightens. “If that’s all you came here to say, I don’t want to hear it. You can leave now.” She scoffs and steps closer. “Look at me.” When she grabs my hand, I yank it away so fast she stumbles and falls to the floor. For a second, guilt flashes through me—but I bury it under the same cold annoyance she’s earned a thousand times over. “Do you really hate me that much?” she asks, her voice breaking as she looks up at me

    Asher’s POV“Bella, listen to me.” I step closer until the heat from her skin reaches me. “I understand you have evidence, but you need to take a step back. These people are dangerous — they’ll do anything to stay in power. I can’t have you risking yourself in your condition.” My voice is low, even; I try to keep it steady for both of us.She frowns, jaw tightening. “I knew I shouldn’t have told you. I knew you’d try to stop me from getting my revenge.” Her words slice, sharp with hurt and stubbornness.“You don’t understand — I’m not trying to stop you from getting justice. I’m trying to stop you from getting hurt.” I reach for her; she turns away, shoulders folding like she wants to disappear. I move in front of her and take her hand. She jerks, tries to yank free, but I cram my fingers around hers and don’t let go. After a beat she stops pulling and exhales, defeated.“I promised your mother I’d protect you,” I say, the memory of her whispering that promise to me in a hospital room

    Isabella’s POV“Asher, you need to come with me,” he says, voice firm — but the edge in his tone can’t hide the hurt trembling beneath it. His eyes are desperate, like he’s holding on to something already slipping through his fingers.I swallow hard. How do I explain that I can’t go with him — not now, not when I’m this close to getting what I want from Zach and his mother? One wrong move, and everything I’ve worked for will vanish.“I can’t, Asher.” My voice is steady, but my pulse betrays me. “You shouldn’t be here. Please… just leave.”He lets out a low, humorless scoff. “I’ll say this one last time, Bella. You’re coming with me.”There’s something in his tone — dark, final — that sends a shiver down my spine. I’ve seen Asher angry before, but never like this. This isn’t just anger. It’s pain, wrapped in fury.“What’s your fucking problem?” Zach snaps, stepping forward. “She doesn’t want to be with you anymore! Get that through your thick skull!”Asher’s gaze slices toward him — co

  • Alphas forbidden mate    Chapter 87

    Asher’s POVThe screen of my phone glared back at me—empty. No message. No call. Nothing from Bella. My jaw tightened as I set it down a little harder than I meant to, the thud echoing in the quiet room. Weeks. It’s been weeks, and still silence.My thoughts twisted the same way they always did when she ignored me—straight to Zachary. Maybe she was with him now, laughing, whispering, forgetting I even existed. The thought coiled like poison in my stomach. I raked a hand through my hair and let out a long, frustrated sigh.A sharp knock at the door snapped me out of it. Before I could answer, Michael slipped inside. His face told me everything before he even spoke—bad news.“What’s the matter?” My voice was calm, but inside I braced myself.“Asher,” Michael began, voice tight, “nothing is going well. There’s a rumor… about your real identity.”I barked out a humorless scoff. “And what are they saying this time?”His eyes darted to mine, uneasy. “They’re saying you’re a hybrid. That you

    Isabella’s POVI ease the door open and step inside. The room is quiet except for the soft rise and fall of breath. Sean is on the bed, propped against the headboard, watching Tessa like she’s the only thing that matters in the world. For a moment the ache in my chest loosens — he really hasn’t left her side since Mother died.“You’re here,” he says without turning, voice low and even. I smile and move closer.“Thank you, Sean. For everything.” The words feel small but true.He shrugs, eyes still on Tessa. “You don’t have to thank me. Tessa’s my friend. She needs me now.” There’s a steadiness in him that makes me want to believe everything will be all right.“Have you eaten?” I ask, holding the paper bag of food between my hands like an offering. “I brought something.”Sean’s gaze flicks to the bag, then back to Tessa. “I’ll eat when she wakes.”At the sound of his voice, Tessa’s lashes lift. She blinks slowly. I move to the mattress and sit beside her.“Tessa, how are you?” I ask, th
