Xander's pov“They become shadow slaves.”“Shadow slaves?” I asked.“Yes.” Seraphina answered. “Creatures consumed by Zerathos's dark powers. There to do his bidding no matter how messy. His personal foot soldiers.”“What in the world?” Kael muttered.“But there's a cure, right?” Ava's voice became quiet at the end of her question as she was as uncertain as the rest of us.Seraphina's gaze softened. “There is a cure. But it is not easily made.”She turned and gestured for us to follow her into a small opening in the wall that I had failed to notice. The air became colder the further we walked. We came to a dark chamber which had a lot of herbs, vials and strange symbols on the walls.At the center was a large stone basin, similar to the one we had seen at rainville but instead of green liquid, it held dark water.Seraphina stuck her hand into the basin then pulled out a small vial which had a silver liquid that glowed in the dark. Inside I could see a… flower?“This is the essence of

Rowan's povThe night was alive and eerily quiet. The nightshade people were truly strange, not even the sound of kids playing could be heard. It was like they didn't exist, they were just ghosts that popped up once in a while.Fireflies flew around like tiny stars eliminating the place. It was enchantingly beautiful. The sound of frogs croaking could be heard in the distance, it was the only sound that echoed through the pack.The encounter with the warriors at the forest made me understand why every pack avoided them and why even my father said we shouldn't bother them unless it was absolutely necessary. They were like death, they would sneak up and snatch your life.Despite the quietness of the place, my mind was anything but quiet. Lyra's capture and Magnus's betrayal still plagued my mind. I knew that it had all been sorted out but I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that it had happened.I sighed and got up from my bed and left the chamber I had been given. Sleep was f

Rowan's pov“What do you mean?” I asked, glancing back at kaida who was looking at me with a wary expression on her face.The woman signed, making my gaze return to her. “It's a sad and long story but basically, her tongue was cut off by a rogue when she was a child. She hasn't been able to speak ever since.”My heart sank at this. “That's… that's horrible.”The woman nodded. “It truly is. Please be patient with my dear Kaida, she has endured a lot at her young age but one thing is certain, she is strong. She told me that she ran away from you last night because she didn't want you to be disappointed by the type of mate she was.”I shook my head and turned to Kaida. “I'm so sorry about everything that happened to you.” I said softly. “I didn't know.”Kaida’s eyes softened as she considered my words then she gave me a small smile. It was the most breathtaking thing I had ever seen, in that moment I wanted to always be the one to make her smile.I wished we were fully mated so that we w

Rowan’s POVShe left her little rock and came to join me on mine because it was bigger. Her scent filled my nose, it was the most pleasant thing I had ever smelled. She smelt like berries, jasmine, herbs and the earth after it rains. It all combined perfectly.She took the paper from me and started writing. The sun had begun to set at this point and I was a bit hungry but I didn't mind. I didn't want to cut this moment short. The setting sun casted a soft golden glow on the forest, when the light hit Kaida she looked like a myth.A goddess out of a story book. My breath caught in my throat as I stared at her. I truly was the luckiest man alive and the thought made me smile widely.I continued to watch her, the gentle sound of the waterfall washing over us with tranquility. The weight from the past weeks lifted from my shoulders.I realized something. Ever since meeting her— although it hadn’t been long, my mind was consumed with the thought of her and I hadn't once thought about Lyra'

Rowan's povThe sun had risen to its peak at this point but as we began our journey back, the sunlight was once again barely visible due to the canopy of leaves and branches above. Of all packs we had visited, I now loved nightshade the most due to the fact that it had brought my soulmate to be and they weren't actually as bad as they had initially seemed. The smell of damp earth was oddly comforting.Kaida and I walked side by side as we climbed up the trees and walked to the center of the pack where Xander, Ava and the rest of the group were already waiting. Her hand occasionally brushed against mine and although it was a simple— sometimes unintentional touch, it sent a tingle and wave of excitement through me every single time.When we got closer to the group, their conversation halted and they turned to look at us. I could see the obvious confusion on my group's faces but what caught my attention was the shift in the alpha and Luna's expressions as they caught sight of Kaida next

Ava's povOur stay at Nightshade pack was a bit of a vacation to me. Something about being in the gloomy forest with nothing but peace and quiet helped ease the tension off my shoulders.I was still amazed by how quiet the pack was. Luna Seraphina had told me that most of the pack usually spoke through mind link and the kids had a spot in the forest where they usually went to play so as not to disturb the pack with their noise.I had asked why they were so quiet. As the name of their pack implied, they had to be as quiet as the night. It was their tradition. She had also gifted me with some scrolls to help me as a Luna and also help me and anyone I choose to show, learn the night walk.I deeply appreciated it. Although they seemed like they could kill you for breathing the wrong way, the night people were peaceful people who just enjoyed keeping to themselves.The wooden box on my lap jiggled slightly which made me look at it. The antidote was safely tucked in, and I was happy that we

Ava's povBy the time we crossed Blackthorn's borders it was already dusk. I was glad to finally be on familiar soil, I also wanted to see Lyra. She was the only person that had been nice to me when I first arrived beside Thomas and Heather.I felt a pang in my chest as I thought about them. They had escaped after the castle attack, I shook the thoughts of them away. Now wasn't the time to think about old friendships.The guards opened the gate and we were greeted by familiar faces that had relief and worry across their faces.Gamma Draven was the first to approach us, his face was dark with concern. “Alpha,” he greeted with a bow. “I'm happy to see you back and just in time. One of the sick, there's something wrong with him. He's… changing.”My heart dropped at the news.“Take us to him.” Xander commanded.We quickly got off our horses then followed Draven into the castle as he led us through a series of hallways until we got to the infirmary.The air was filled with the scent of he

Ava's pov“Enough!” I yelled. I was sick and tired of his taunts, I refused to let him make me feel weak. “I will end you, Zerathos. That's a promise.”Turning to one of the healers I said. “Get me water, a lot of it.” I needed the cure to go round for everyone.Marcus continued to scream and fight as Zerathos tormented him. In no time, the healers had gotten the water.I poured the antidote in it and mixed the fetched some and walked over to Marcus. “Don't let him bite you.” Aria instructed.“Xander.” I called out and he was by my side in an instant. “Hold his head, don't let him bite me.”Xander tilted his head then forced his jaw open despite his struggle, I poured the antidote into his mouth and a foul stench came out of his mouth as it touched the blood in his mouth.I withdrew, repulsed. “Let him go.” I ordered the others and they released him.His veins pulsed and glowed as the antidote coursed through them.“Come on, Marcus.” Draven encouraged. “Snap out of it! Fight! Don't le

Ava's povThe wind outside howled like it knew what was about to happen. The moon was full and watching, high above Blackthorn’s towering trees. Everything felt quiet and still, eerily so, as if the world was holding its breath for the events of that night.I jolted awake.A deep cramp tore through my lower belly, stealing my breath and tightening my entire body in its grip.I gasped.Then hissed.Then groaned as the pain came again, fiercer and longer than any of the aches I'd been getting for the past week.Xander was at my side in a heartbeat, rising from the other side of our shared bed. “Ava?”His voice was low and sharp, a leader’s instinct kicking in, but his eyes—his eyes were pure panic. I saw the fear and excitement written in every line of his face.I nodded, wincing. “It’s time.”Those two words threw the entire castle into motion.Within minutes, Vanessa and Kaida were by my side, helping me breathe, helping me move. The pack healer arrived with a bag of herbs, towels, an

Ava's povThe skies over the castle were crystal clear, it was like a perfect painting of blue sand white which was warm over our land. For once, the forest was quiet in a peaceful way, the hush that came when joy was on the brink of coming closer than ever, like even nature knew something beautiful was about to be celebrated.Today wasn’t just any day.It was our day.A celebration of the life growing inside me. A day to bask in love, laughter, and the sheer miracle that somehow, after everything we’d survived, there was a baby on the way. Our baby.The grand courtyard of the castle had been transformed. Silk materials in soft blues, silvers, and creams fluttered in the breeze. Tables were arranged in a wide semi circle beneath the tall trees and white lanterns were placed high above, the entire place felt magical. The scent of honey cakes, fresh fruit, roasted meats and grape wine filled the air. Music drifted around the open space, a soft harmony of flutes, drums, and stringed inst
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 233
Ava's pov The wind howled softly against the window, it was odd but it was like a lullaby whispered in an ancient tongue. Xander had fallen asleep hours ago, his breathing deep and even beside me. His arm was draped protectively over my waist, warm and grounding, as if even in slumber he was guarding the world he’d sworn to protect. But I couldn’t sleep. Not tonight. The baby, Rowan, was stirring more than usual. Little flutters and firm nudges beneath my skin, like he was restless too or sensing something beyond the veil of reality. I closed my eyes, fingers spread across the curve of my belly, and whispered a silent promise into the dark. “I’ll always protect you, little one.” The world tilted. It started slowly, like I was falling into still water. The bed, the room, the warmth of Xander’s body all faded away like early morning mist. I wasn’t afraid. Instead, an overwhelming calm settled over me, thick and heavy, the kind of calm that whispers of someone celestial. A
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 232
Ava's pov The celebration had ended hours ago, but the warmth still lingered in my body. The lanterns had gone out. The laughter and footsteps had faded. Kaida and Lyra had walked us back to the castle gates, cheeks glowing from too much dancing and cider. The moon was high now, very bright silver light watching from its throne in the sky as if it too had awaited this final part of the night. Our chambers were quiet, save for the occasional crackle from the fireplace. I was dressed in one of Xander’s tunics, hair damp from a quick rinse, and settled against the high pile of furs and pillows in our bed. My fingers rested gently on my belly. Xander came out from the mini kitchen attached to his chamber, barefoot, shirtless, hair tousled, with two steaming mugs in hand. He handed one to me and dropped onto the bed with a soft grunt. “Ginger and honey,” he said. “Kaida’s secret cure for growing royal pups.” I smiled at him. “If it works, I’ll personally carve her name into a th

Ava's pov The air buzzed with excitement. Golden rays of the sun spilled through the leaves above as the clearing beside the Moonstone Falls which glowed with enchantment. I had never seen the sun so bright, it was as if all the gods were watching closely to see what would be revealed today. Long, linen banners fluttered from tree branches, dyed in the traditional white and silver hues of blessing rituals. It was a sacred spot—where our ancestors once received visions from the Moon Goddess herself—and it felt like the perfect place for today. My gender reveal. Or as the werewolves called it: The Spirit Beckoning. Kaida had explained it days ago while wrapping my waist in white silk, her eyes shining with pride as she narrated the ancient tradition. I wasn't surprised that she knew so much because the nightshade warriors were known for holding on to our history very tightly, they even knew far more than even blackthorn but only shared why they deemed necessary. “When a
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 230
Ava's pov The day had started like any other. There were meetings with the inner council, light bickering over the upcoming full moon festival, and more parenting advice— that I didn't ask for— than I could keep up with. My mind felt full, my ankles were sore, and despite how much I adored everyone’s excitement, all I wanted was silence, a soft place to lie down, and maybe a jar of pickled mangoes. Xander had been called away to handle a little rogue situation near the southern border, and although I tried not to worry, being apart from him—even just for a few hours—tugged at something inside me. Even after the war,.rogues would still be spotted from time to time. They weren't threatening and tended to run away at the sight of us. They just wandered aimlessly but we had underestimated them once and didn't want to make the same mistake twice. He’d been protective ever since we found out about the baby, even more so since I’d started showing a few weeks ago. My bump was still s
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 229
Ava's povI always thought pregnancy would feel magical. Glowing skin, cute bump, a sense of purpose, maybe even that mythical "pregnancy glow" everyone swore existed.Instead, it felt like I was being hunted… by my own body.“Move,” I growled at Xander, who stood directly between me and the basket of moonberry tarts I’d been craving since sunrise and asked the cooks to make.He turned slowly, blinking. “You’ve already had three.”I narrowed my eyes. “And?”“And… I love you,” he said quickly, stepping aside and lifting both hands like I was some scary creature.Which I kind of was.Pregnancy had changed me. It was like I had become Ava 2.0—crying over songs with puppies, getting irrationally upset when Xander didn’t refill the honey jar, then five minutes later curling against him like nothing ever happened. The mood swings weren’t just real. They were ruthless.The moonberry tart was cold by the time I got to it, but I didn’t care. I devoured it with all the speed of a starved animal
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 228
Xander’s POVThe moonlight spilled through the open balcony, casting soft silver over the sheets tangled at the foot of the bed. The fire in the hearth had died a while back, quiet and tired like the rest of the castle.The day has taken an unexpected turn which I loved so much. A twist that made my heart race and a smile light up my face.She was asleep.Ava.My mate. My Luna. My light.Her hair was fanned across the pillow, her face relaxed and peaceful—something I never took for granted anymore. I didn’t move, just sat at the edge of the bed, eyes watching the delicate rise and fall of her chest.Her unexpected words echoed in my head like a metal being hit by something.She’s pregnant.It should have been a simple announcement. But for me, it cracked something wide open.For weeks, I’d noticed something different in her scent. Not wrong—just new. I hadn’t placed it, not until she stood before me and told me herself. There had been no grand preparation. No expectations. Just her an
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 227
Ava's povSunlight spilled through the high windows of the grand hall, gleaming on the silver fixtures and dishware. For the first time in months, the hall wasn't empty. Laughter echoed all around me, mingling with the clinking of cutlery and the smell of warm bread and honeyed meats.I sat between Xander and Vanessa, my fingers curled around a steaming cup of tea. My stomach fluttered—not from nerves, but from something far newer. Something growing.The thought never failed to pull a smile to my face.I glanced around at the faces gathered at the table. Rowan was teasing Kael over a burnt piece of toast, Kaida sat beside him, her hand resting lightly on his wrist. Lyra was at the far end, wrapped in a thick shawl, her expression quiet but calm, a faint smile playing on her lips as she watched them. There was no tension in her shoulders.They were all here.All of them.And that meant more to me than any feast ever could.“Gods,” Vanessa said, stretching back in her seat. “It’s been f
