Aurora POV

I’ve been stuck in this room for hours, pacing, sitting, lying down, then pacing again, with no idea what I’m supposed to be doing. Just hiding? For how long? Until when? Killian didn’t give me enough to go on, no timeline, no instructions beyond run, and now I feel like I’ve been left drifting in a space with no edges.

Every part of me wants to believe he’ll come back. That he’ll walk through this door and explain everything, that he’ll tell me he’s handled it and we’ll figure out what comes next. But another part of me can’t stop replaying the truth, that he’s standing trial right now, fighting for us, fighting for me. My heart clenches at the thought of what they might do to him if the pack decides to punish him harshly.

I climb into the hotel bed, tucking the blanket tight around me, trying to pretend that if I close my eyes I’ll wake up to him beside me. But sleep won’t come. My eyes keep drifting to the phone lying on the table. The phone he gave me. Maybe the number

  • Forbidden Mated To My Mother's Husband   Seventy-Seven

    Aurora POVHis building looms ahead, tall and clean, so different from the pack house. I go straight inside and push the elevator button with shaking fingers. The ride feels endless, but at last the doors open onto his floor. My heart jumps when I see the blinds closed on his office windows. He always does that when he’s inside, shutting out the rest of the world. Relief floods me and a small smile breaks through. He’s here.I hurry forward and push the door open without knocking, desperate to see him.The breath catches in my throat when I slam straight into a body that isn’t his. My head snaps up, and the smile dies instantly.Cain.No.Before I can step back, his hand slams the door shut with a thud that makes me jump. The sound of it is final, sealing me in.“Where is he?” I demand, eyes scanning the room, hoping Killian will step out from behind the desk or bathroom door. He has to be here.“Not here,” Cain says, his voice low and dripping with satisfaction.“That’s a lie. He has

  • Forbidden Mated To My Mother's Husband   Seventy-Five

    Killian POV Yasin’s tone hardens when she answers, as if the law itself is a blade she is sharpening. “You are aware, however, that fated mates are the most forbidden. It is the law above all. The punishment options are as follows. The first is stripping him of his title and banishing him. The second is that his wolf is silenced for a week and he is forced to claim and marry another woman so his loyalty is given to the pack and not to a private bond.”The word banished hits me like a winter wind. If they toss me out, Cain will be unbound. He’ll hunt Aurora like a dog on scent. She is already vulnerable. Banishment is an invitation for him to tear her apart, to take what he thinks he’s owed.Brannick looks out across the hall and calls the vote. “Stand if you wish to see your Alpha lose his title and be banished.”My breath comes shallow as bodies stir. A few stand, hesitant and small, drawn by the law and the scent of scandal. I force myself to hold still, to keep my face blank. If t

  • Forbidden Mated To My Mother's Husband   Seventy-Four

    Killian POVI stand in front of the pack and the room presses in like something that wants to squeeze the air from my lungs. People whisper, shifting, trying to figure out why their Alpha is the one pulled up for judgement. I look to Brannick for anything, some sign he’ll have my back, but he looks away like he always does when politics smell better than loyalty. It’s a little stab of betrayal that lands colder than the rest.Yasin reads the charge with that flat, clean voice she uses for business. “Alpha Killian, you are brought forward for trial under the accusation that you indulged in a fated mate bond. How do you plead?”If I say not guilty they’ll pull Aurora back and tear her apart in front of the pack. If I say guilty, I take the blow, so I say it. “Guilty.” The sound of it feels big and stupid in my mouth, but it does what it needs to do. Gasps ripple, people lean forward. The room narrows to faces and the weight of every eye.Yasin doesn’t waste time. “When was the first tim

  • Forbidden Mated To My Mother's Husband   Seventy-Three

    Killian POV Cain’s voice slithers through the tension, cruel and mocking. “And if you help her run, if you try to shield her, then when I take over as Alpha, I’ll see to it she spends her life repaying the pack for her betrayal. She’ll have no wolf, no freedom, and no choice but to kneel to me.”Another roar rips from my throat, so loud it burns, but I can’t move. The guards’ grips are iron, restraining me even as my wolf claws to get free. He can’t take over. He can’t have her. His obsession with Aurora will destroy her.My chest heaves with desperation, but my voice cuts through the chaos. “What do I need to agree to so you leave Aurora alone? No trial. No dragging her back. What will it take?”Brannick and Yasin exchange a look, the kind of silent conversation that decides fates before words are spoken. At last Brannick speaks, his tone heavy. “You’ll stand trial. You’ll accept responsibility. You’ll claim that you pushed for this bond, that she had no say in it. You’ll say you fo

  • Forbidden Mated To My Mother's Husband   Seventy-Two

    Killian POVSomething inside me had pushed me to start putting a plan in place, though I hadn’t come close to finishing it. All I had managed was a phone with a hidden number, one that linked back to me, and a single card meant for her to use if things went wrong. It wasn’t enough. It wasn’t anywhere near what Aurora deserved. Yet when I told her to run, it was the only lifeline I could give her.Cain’s body slams into mine with crushing force, and I hurl him off. Our wolves collide again and again, crashing through furniture, teeth snapping, claws gouging into the floor. Somewhere beyond the chaos, I hear Rosa’s shrill voice, but the red haze of rage drowns out her words.If he dies, no one will know. No one will ever discover the bond.My jaws clamp down, teeth tearing through his flesh, and he answers with the same vicious brutality. Pain flares hot as his bite rakes across my shoulder, but it only drives me harder. Something heavy crashes into me from the side, knocking me free of
