( 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    SAFE SPACE

    (Third Person Limited – Kael’s POV)By the time Kael emerged from Grandma’s inner chamber, a neat pouch of herbs and warm cinnamon bread in hand, the candlelight in the sitting room had deepened to amber.Alaric and Aaron were sitting across from each other in stiff silence, the kind that only existed when neither was in the mood to bicker—but the tension still hummed.Kael stepped between them, eyes distant, and murmured, “Let’s go back.”Alaric was on his feet in a flash. “Are you okay?”Kael nodded, too quickly. “Yeah. Just tired.”But Alaric wasn’t convinced. Neither was Aaron.They didn’t press.As they walked the quiet halls back toward their shared chamber, Kael’s steps slowed more than once. He wasn’t limping—just… dragging. Not his feet. His spirit.Aaron reached out instinctively to touch Kael’s shoulder. “Do you want to lie down?”“No,” Kael said gently, then looked up between the two Alphas. “Could we… go to the bath?”Alaric raised a brow. “The steaming one?”Kael nodded.

  • FORBIDDEN BOND: The Alpha's Desire    UPCOMING FESTIVAL

    (Third Person Limited – Kael’s POV)The sound of falling water was a lullaby Kael could never forget.He sat on a soft blanket spread across the grass, surrounded by fruit slices, grilled meat, bread, and a jug of honeyed tea Alaric had insisted on bringing himself. A breeze swept through the clearing, brushing over Kael’s cheeks like a secret, sweet and fleeting.The waterfall spilled into the lagoon below, crashing gently over smooth stone. Trees arched protectively overhead, dappling the sun into pieces of gold. And just a few feet away, Aaron lay sprawled shirtless in the grass like a napping feline, a wildflower tucked behind one ear.Kael popped a piece of fruit into his mouth and nudged Alaric beside him. “Are you going to eat anything, or are you just going to stare at me like I’m the dessert?”Alaric leaned over, kissed Kael’s cheek slowly. “You are the dessert.”Kael rolled his eyes, cheeks pink. “You’re ridiculous.”Aaron yawned, stretching lazily as he turned onto his side

  • FORBIDDEN BOND: The Alpha's Desire    SAFE PLACES AND SOFT APOLOGIES

    (Third Person Limited – Kael’s POV)The chamber was quiet. Candlelight flickered against the far wall, casting shadows that danced like secrets left unspoken. The night had deepened into the kind of silence Kael only ever felt safe in—curled up in the arms of someone who knew how to hold him without expecting pieces of him in return.Aaron’s chest rose beneath his cheek, steady and warm. His fingers threaded gently through Kael’s hair, slow and rhythmic. Soothing. Kael sighed and shifted closer, his arm wrapping lazily around Aaron’s waist as if to anchor himself there.“I still don’t get how Alaric hasn’t murdered you,” Kael mumbled, voice muffled against cotton and heartbeat. “You remember how mad he used to get when you came close?”Aaron let out a soft, amused breath. “He still gives me the look sometimes. Like he’s imagining exactly how many pieces he’d have to rip me into and where to hide the body.”Kael laughed sleepily. “Only sometimes?”Aaron grinned and gave a little shrug

  • FORBIDDEN BOND: The Alpha's Desire    LIES

    The corridor was silent. Heavy. Thick with something that felt older than dust and darker than rage.Alaric stood at the far end, eyes fixed on the two steel doors in front of him. His fists were clenched at his sides, his jaw locked tight. No servants were allowed in this part of the palace. No guards lingered here unless summoned. This wing belonged to no one but him now. A forgotten arm of the castle, hollowed out by silence and filled with fury.Behind those doors— betrayal.He stepped toward the first.With a click, the lock unlatched. The hinges groaned. The door opened slowly.Amora.She sat upright on the lone chair in the center of the cell. Despite the plain cement walls and the iron cuffs that had bruised her wrists, she managed a look of arrogant grace. Her dress had wrinkled. Her hair had begun to unravel. But her smile held steady."You look better than I expected," she said. As if they were still nobles sharing morning tea.Alaric didn’t blink.He shut the door behind h

  • FORBIDDEN BOND: The Alpha's Desire    THE ALPHA'S EMBRACE

    (Third Person Limited – Kael’s POV)The car slowed to a stop.Kael didn’t lift his head. His world was still a soft blur of aching silence, like glass fogged with breath. But even in the haze, he felt Alaric’s scent shift—warrior tense, protector firm.“Aaron,” came the low voice from the driver’s seat. “Take him to his chamber. I’ll deal with the filth.”There was no protest.Aaron simply adjusted Kael in his arms, careful not to jostle the stitches behind his ear. “I’ve got you,” he whispered, voice like silk across cracked porcelain.Kael didn’t respond, but his fingers tightened slightly in the prince’s shirt.Alaric opened the car door with a slam, then circled to the back. The trunk popped with a click, and the screech that followed as Casian was dragged out was not quiet. Kael’s heartbeat stuttered. He didn’t want to hear that man’s voice again. Not yet. Maybe not ever.Aaron noticed.His arms tucked tighter around him as they passed through the palace gates.“You’re safe,” he

  • FORBIDDEN BOND: The Alpha's Desire    BURN FOR MY MATE

    (Third Person Limited – Alaric’s POV)The door burst open with the force of a storm.Alaric didn’t pause. Not to scan the room, not to catch his breath. He charged through the rotting lobby of the abandoned building, his eyes wild, his heart a brutal, thudding drum inside his chest.Kael. Kael. Kael.The name was a scream in his head. A pulse in his veins.Aaron was right behind him, silent and swift. Their footfalls echoed off the cracked tiles and moldy walls. Alaric didn’t need to ask where to go.He could feel him.Every inch of his soul was dragging him forward.Then—A figure turned the corner ahead of them.Amora.She froze, but Aaron didn’t. He grabbed her before she could blink, twisting her arms roughly behind her back and yanking her close to his chest. She cried out, struggling, but his grip only tightened.“Don’t say a word,” Aaron growled into her ear, his voice stripped of all affection. “You’re going to lead us to him, and if you so much as breathe the wrong way—Alaric
