(Kael's POV)

A disquiet settled over me. I tossed and turned, caught in the clutches of a vivid dream.

I was standing on a cliff overlooking a turbulent sea. The sky was a bruised purple, and the wind howled like a banshee. Alaric stood beside me, his face etched with worry. The waves crashed against the rocks below, each one a thunderous roar.

Then, the storm intensified. The sky ripped open, and rain lashed down with relentless fury. The sea swelled, rising higher and higher, until it threatened to engulf us both.

I tried to run, to pull Alaric with me, but my feet were rooted to the spot. He reached for me, his hand outstretched, but the distance between us grew wider with each passing moment.

A monstrous wave, black as ink, rose from the depths. It crashed over us, swallowing us whole. I gasped, choking on the salty water, struggling to breathe.

Then, darkness.

I woke up with a start, my heart pounding in my chest. The room was dark, save for the sliver of moonlight filtering thro

  • FORBIDDEN BOND: The Alpha's Desire    TO RESCUE HIM

    The West Side of Veridia, speeding towards east — (Alaric's POV)The tires screeched as the sleek black car tore through the empty highway, city lights blurring into ribbons of color. The roads weren’t built for this kind of speed. Not even royal escorts moved like this—but Alaric wasn’t driving for protocol.He was driving for his mate.His knuckles were white on the steering wheel, jaw locked so tight it ached. His foot slammed harder on the gas with each passing second. They were covering ground like hell was chasing them, and maybe it was.“Faster and we’ll take off,” Aaron said from the passenger seat, voice strained, one hand braced against the dash. “I said east—not airborne.”“You know exactly where they took him,” Alaric growled. “So direct. Me.”Aaron exhaled, fighting the tremble in his voice. “Turn left at the next fork. Then right at the old fire tower.”Alaric glanced at him. “How the hell do you know Veridia this well? You’re not even from here.”Aaron shrugged, trying

  • FORBIDDEN BOND: The Alpha's Desire    OF RIVALS AND REVERENCE

    (Alaric’s POV)I stared at him. Still angry. Still on edge. But the hate between us had shifted. Now we were two men standing in the wreckage of a shared love—for the same boy.“I will,” I said, turning toward the door. “And if he’s not back before the moon rises tomorrow…”I looked over my shoulder, fury blazing behind my eyes.“I’ll burn this kingdom from the inside out.”I didn’t wait for a response. I turned, steps thunderous toward the exit.But behind me, a bitter, hollow laugh slipped through the thick tension.“Just when I hoped I’d see the imperfections in you,” Aaron said, voice strained, wounded. “Any sign at all that you weren’t worthy of him. That you didn’t deserve him.”I froze.Aaron wasn’t smiling. He stood there with red eyes, bruises darkening his cheekbones, and a grief he hadn’t earned pressing down on his shoulders like guilt. His voice cracked on the next line.“But the one-sided love never wins… does it?” he whispered. “It can’t beat the mutual.”Something twis

  • FORBIDDEN BOND: The Alpha's Desire    THE BLOOD TRAIL OF INSTINCT

    ( Alaric’s POV)The numbers on the parchment blurred before my eyes.My office in the eastern wing of the chamber was silent save for the scratching of my quill, but my mind hadn’t been present for the last twenty minutes. I signed the same paper twice and read the same sentence five times.Because something was wrong.Deep in my bones, something clawed. My wolf was restless—pacing inside me. My mate.Kael.I exhaled sharply, rubbing a hand across my face. "He’s with his mother," I muttered to myself, trying to shove the dread back down. "Just a conversation. That’s all."But it had been over an hour.Kael said he’d be back soon. And he always came back soon.I shook my head and forced myself to refocus. These treaties wouldn’t write themselves, and the kingdom wouldn’t wait because I was emotionally constipated.Still—my hand trembled when I reached for the next document.And then I heard it.Silence.That cursed, pressing kind of silence that doesn't belong in a palace. Not in my ch

  • FORBIDDEN BOND: The Alpha's Desire    HOW MUCH MORE LIES

    Alaric’s fingertips ghosted along Kael’s wrist as they meandered down the palace hall, like he was tethering them together—half sweet, half just not wanting to let go yet.“You sure you’re good going solo?” he asked… again, for the third time.Kael offered him a small smile. “It’s just my mom. I’ll be alright.”But the smile didn’t reach his eyes. Alaric saw it—he always did. Still, he didn’t press further. He just gave Kael’s hand a squeeze and kissed his knuckles. “Come back to me soon.”Kael nodded and turned away, the pause between them stretching out, kinda thin and awkward, as he wandered down the hall toward his mom’s chamber.—Elara was waiting by the window, sitting there with her shawl wrapped tight like she thought it might shield her from whatever was about to happen. When Kael entered, she rose quickly, her face folding in on itself.“Kael,” she breathed, “you came.”Kael stepped inside and closed the door behind him. “You knew I would?”A silence settled like dusk over

  • FORBIDDEN BOND: The Alpha's Desire    THE ECHO OF BLOOD AND LOVE

    (Kael’s POV)I didn’t remember walking out of Grandma’s room. My feet moved on their own. The echo of her words still clung to the walls of my chest, a heaviness I couldn’t name sinking deeper with every breath.Ask your mother who your father is.Ask whose blood runs through your veins.Ask whose soul you’re tied to.I sat on the edge of the bed in our—my—chamber, and stared at nothing. The bag Alaric brought sat unopened in the corner, and my palms were still cold. My chest… ached. But it wasn’t the pregnancy. It wasn’t even the aftermath of the tears I thought I was done crying.It was the confusion.I’d been raised by a woman who held my hand through nightmares, who fed me, clothed me, sacrificed for me. My mother was all I ever knew—everything I ever needed. I’d never cared that my father wasn’t in the picture. I didn’t ask questions. Not because I didn’t want to know, but because I trusted her. If he was gone, then maybe he should stay gone. That was my logic.Until that one mom

  • FORBIDDEN BOND: The Alpha's Desire    TAKE HIM HOME

    (Alaric’s POV)I didn't care what tradition said.If the palace expected me to walk a respectable three paces behind my Omega or to keep my distance for propriety’s sake—they could all burn for all I cared. Kael walked beside me, our hands brushing occasionally, and I kept close enough to catch him if he so much as stumbled.Right now I don't even care that they see him as my servant who shouldn't be this close to me.After everything… after almost losing him again, I wasn’t spending a single second more apart.Not for the court.Not for Amora.Not even for the Moon Goddess herself.He wanted to see Grandma. I had my own reasons for coming—namely, who the hell had grown stupid enough to try and poison my mate?As we entered her chamber, the air held the familiar scent of dried herbs and clean parchment. Kael was quickly pulled into a hug by her, soft words exchanged, but my gaze stayed fixed on the small bag tucked by the reading chair—Kael’s bag. The one he packed when he thought he’
