That night, the forest seemed to breathe around us, the shadows alive with secrets and silence. Kade and I lay tangled in the cabin’s small bed, his hand tracing patterns along my arm.

“I’ve been waiting for this,” he whispered, voice rough. “Waiting for you.”

I traced the line of his jaw, feeling the tension beneath his skin; the years of duty, expectation, and secrets finally breaking free.

But even in this moment of closeness, a whisper of doubt crept in. The pack was still out there, and Luna’s hatred was sharper than any claw.

“We’re not safe,” I said softly.

He kissed my forehead. “I know. But we’re together. And that makes us stronger.”

Outside, the wind stirred the trees, and the forest held its breath. The next morning, the peace of the cabin shattered when Kade’s friend, Rafe, arrived, eyes serious and voice low.

“They’re coming,” he said. “Luna’s pack is hunting for Shea. It’s only a matter of time before they find you here.”

Kade’s jaw clenched. “We’ll be ready.”

I stared

  • Fated to the Forbidden Alpha   Chapter 20

    The dust hadn’t even settled when the Elders stepped forward.Marisol lay on the edge of the circle, heaving, fury in her eyes but defeat in her body. She didn’t speak. She didn’t rise. Her pride bled more than her skin.Kade rushed to me first, hands on my shoulders, eyes scanning me for bruises, cuts, breaks.“I’m okay,” I said, though my ribs ached and my hands trembled. “I didn’t shift. I didn’t even come close.”He looked both proud and terrified. “You could’ve killed her.”“I didn’t.”“That’s what makes you stronger,” he murmured.The oldest Elder, his silver beard glowing pale in the moonlight, stepped between us. His voice rang out like thunder in a storm.“Shea Carter has completed all three Trials: Instinct, Control, and Past.”The pack fell into absolute silence.“She has survived the fire. She has resisted the shift. She has faced the blood of the Old Law and stood her ground.”Another Elder added, “And shown mercy in victory.”They always said the Trials were tests of wor

  • Fated to the Forbidden Alpha   Chapter 19

    They gave me until moonrise.That was it.One full turn of the sun to rest, to prepare, to decide if I was willing to bleed for this bond.I stood by the river with my boots off and my toes in the cold water, trying to stop the panic rising in my throat. The trees whispered around me like they knew something I didn’t. Like they’d seen girls like me walk into this kind of challenge and never walk out again.Kade stood behind me, his shadow tall and quiet.“You don’t have to do this,” he said softly, like he already knew it wouldn’t matter.“I do.”“Shea, this isn’t a sparring match. Marisol isn’t just fast. She’s trained. She kills.”I turned slowly. “And I’ve survived things I never trained for.”That made him pause. His jaw tightened like he was holding in a hundred things at once, fear, pride, frustration.“She’s not doing this to prove anything to the pack,” he said. “She wants to kill you. She’s jealous. She’s angry. And she’s cornered.”“Then maybe it’s time someone reminded her

    I barely had time to breathe after the third trial before the whispering started.It began with a single voice, one of the younger Elders, tall and sharp-featured, his silver hair pulled tight at the nape of his neck. I didn’t know his name, but I didn’t need to.The way the others turned to listen told me everything.“She’s too calm,” he said, voice just loud enough to carry. “Too controlled. No one touches the fire without shifting, without pain. And yet she walks out… stronger?”One of the older women narrowed her eyes. “You suggest she’s something else?”“I suggest she’s not just a mate,” he said coldly. “She could be a potential Alpha.”That hit the Hollow like a lightning bolt.Even Kade flinched beside me.“She’s human-born,” another Elder hissed. “That’s not possible.”“But her wolf came late,” the first one argued. “And look at how she endures. How she chooses not to shift, even when everything in her body demands it. That’s not human stubbornness. That’s Alpha discipline.”I

    The Hollow was quieter that evening.Too quiet.Even the wolves in the distance weren’t howling. It was like the whole forest was holding its breath, waiting to see what the Council would demand next.I sat on a rock near the firepit, my knees drawn up, fingers twitching from the memory of the flames. My skin still felt tight, like I’d been scorched from the inside. But I was still here. Still standing.Kade knelt in front of me, a damp cloth in his hand. He wiped soot from my cheek without speaking.“You don’t have to baby me,” I murmured.He didn’t smile. “That wasn’t fire. That was punishment.”“They wanted me to shift.”“They wanted you to break.”I met his eyes. “I didn’t.”He brushed hair from my face and nodded. “No. You didn’t.”Before he could say more, the Council returned, this time with a very different kind of tension in the air.The lead Elder stepped forward, voice colder than before.“You’ve proven control. You’ve proven instinct. Now we test your bond to the past.”I

  • Fated to the Forbidden Alpha   Chapter 16

    The night was thick with tension, the full Blood Moon hanging heavy over the Hollow. The air buzzed like electricity, every breath tasting sharp with anticipation.The Elders formed a circle around me, their eyes unreadable. Kade stood just behind, silent but unwavering.The first trial was clear: a test of tracking, a Silent Hunt. No shifting allowed. Just raw skill, instincts, and will.I swallowed down the tremble in my throat.“Begin,” the eldest commanded.I stepped forward, senses flaring. The forest around me seemed to blur and sharpen at once. The scent of earth, leaves, and hidden creatures flooded my nose.Every step was calculated, every breath measured.The pack watched, but I was alone in the wild.The scent trail was faint, an injured deer that had passed through hours before. The test was to track it without shifting, without letting the wolf take over.My muscles ached, my skin tingled, but I stayed steady.And then, from nowhere, a shadow moved, quick and silent.A rog

    The scroll sat unopened on the table between us. Kade hadn’t touched it since Isla left. He just stared at it like the wax seal might explode if he blinked.“They want me to come,” I said finally, breaking the silence. “To the Hollow.”He didn’t look at me. “They want to test you. Or provoke you. Maybe both.”I gulped. “Is it a trap?”Kade let out a breath through his nose, jaw clenched. “Everything with the Council is a trap. They hide it under words like ‘tradition’ and ‘honor,’ but it’s all control. They never expected your wolf to wake. Now they want to decide what to do with you.”I stared at the seal.Half-moon. Split claw.“They’re afraid of me,” I said softly.Kade’s gaze snapped to mine. “They should be.”I didn’t flinch. “Then maybe it’s time they met me.”That made him pause. “You want to go?”“No,” I admitted. “I have to go. If I hide, they win. If I run, I prove their point.”Kade moved slowly, reaching across the table to take my hand. “You don’t have to prove anything to
