THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 77
Xander's povMurmurs erupted in the room, ticking me off even more.“Silence!” I roared, voice thundering through the throne room. The murmurs ceased at once, all eyes were wide as they stared at me.“I am ashamed of you people.” I told them with disdain in my voice.“She met with the rebel leader!” Elder Garrick yelled.“To stop him!” I countered. “To save lives! Our lives! Ever since this rebellion started what have any of you done to protect this pack? To protect Lycara? You sit in your comfortable chambers and offices casting judgment while others fight and die for the safety of our people.”I turned to the council of elders, my gaze piercing. “You claim to be the voice of wisdom, the protectors of our traditions. But tell me, what part of our tradition says we should execute the innocent? Where is the wisdom in killing someone who has fought to protect us? How will you justify that?”“You’re risking everything for her.” my father said, his voice low but filled with anger.“No,” I

Xander's povShe took a deep breath, steadying herself. “So imagine my surprise when the rebel leader suddenly picked interest in me and I discovered that it was my brother.” She let out a dry empty laugh.“After the bombing I decided to reach out to him again to see if I could end it all.” Her gaze dropped to our intertwined hands. “That’s why I sent the letter. I wanted to meet him, to talk to him, to convince him to stop.”“And what did he say?” I asked.Her hands clenched into fists. “He’s consumed by hatred, he's too far gone Xander. He blames the wolves for everything— I understand why he would think that way. He wants you guys to pay for every blood you have shed. He believes he’s fighting for justice, but… he’s blinded by his anger.”I nodded slowly, I understood as well. We haven't exactly been the best to humans. “And the bombing? What does he have to do with that? I thought it was the work of the rogues?”Her eyes filled with tears, and she looked away. “The ‘D’ carved on t

Vanessa’s POVHe believed her. He belived the witchI clenched my fists in anger, biting back the urge to scream in frustration. I couldn't believe he asked us to leave and openly challenged his father for her.Ever since Ava walked into our lives she turned our world upside down. She managed to wiggle her way into Xander's heart with little effort yet I have been trying for years and failed.The goddess even exposed her and brought evidence to show that she is against us yet he still defends her. I stormed back into my chambers, slamming the door behind me.My mind raced as I paced and thought about my next move. How could he be so blind? So foolish?The fact that Xander— our alpha king, not just any regular alpha had successfully been deceived by a mere human infuriated me. He was supposed to be strong, decisive, and above all, loyal to his pack. But now, it seemed his loyalty lay elsewhere.With a small scream I threw myself on my bed and stared at the ceiling. I needed to calm dow

Ava’s POVWe sat in silence. The gentle crackle of the fireplace was the only thing that could be heard between us. The weight of what would be done to Darius when he was caught, pressed down hard in my chest. The words remained heavy and inspired.I looked at Xander, he had a faraway look in his eyes. The air around us shifted, it became something more intimate as he lifted his eyes to look at me. Something unreadable flickering in his stormy gray eyes.“What?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Xander exhaled and leaned back into his chair, his finger idly traced lazy patterns on his desk. “I was just thinking,” he murmured. “About us.”A now familiar warmth and tingle went through my body at his words. “What about us?”He looked at me for a moment, studying me. “About our bond. It's not complete yet “My breath hitched. I have been trying my best to avoid this topic for a while because I wasn't sure whether or not I was ready. We had both danced around it, never fully addres

Ava's pov“I want to do it. Now.” I said, breaking the silenceThis was it.I had made my choice and there was no turning back.Shock flashed on his face as he froze, staring at me. He looked hesitant. “Are you sure, Ava?” He asked.I nodded, my heart pounding and threatening to burst out of my chest. I had said it and I wasn't going to take back my words. I knew that if I left this office I wouldn't be able to summon the courage to do it again.He still looked hesitant. He got up with my hand still in his and led me out of the office. I was confused but said nothing as I followed him. Finally, we got to his chamber and he let me in.At that moment, reality struck me hard in my face but I shoved the voices telling me to back out to the back of my mind.He wrapped a hand around my waist and pulled me closer to him. “Ava, I'll ask one more time. Are you sure?” His eyes were darker than before and there were specs of gold in them signifying that Leo was at the surface.“Yes.” I said, fin

Ava's povI gasped, clutching my chest as a new presence surged through me—something ancient, something powerful.A voice, soft yet commanding, whispered through my mind.“Finally, I'm fully aware now.”My breath hitched at the sound of the familiar voice.Aria.A wave of memories flooded me, it was so sudden and overwhelming that I staggered backward. Xander was quick to catch me as concern flashed in his eyes“Ava? What’s wrong?”I couldn’t answer.Because I was seeing everything.Flashes of a past life.A war. Bloodshed.A woman—me, but not me—standing beside a man with stormy gray eyes.Xander.We had been here before just like the keeper said.We had fought before.And we had died before.A choked sob escaped me as the memories slammed into me, one after another. I saw myself standing on a battlefield, flames licking at the sky, the air filled with ashes, screams of agony filling the air.I saw Xander—no, not Xander, but the man he had been—fighting beside me.I saw our deaths.T

Xander's povThe air around us became alive with a burning need. It was raw and strong, the undeniable Nate bond now stranger than ever. I could smell her arousal, it was driving me insane.Restraining myself had been hard all night and now, this was the final straw. She pulled away and looked at me, her icy blue eyes had streaks of electric blue dancing in them.Her wolf? I wondered.I didn't have time to think much about it as her fingers started roaming my body. I stiffened under her touch trying to control myself. I caught her hands, stopping them in their tracks as she tried to go underneath my shirt.“Ava,” I started, my voice was rough and strained as I fought to hold myself back. “Are you sure?”I didn't want her to regret what will happen if we go on.She nodded early, her breath coming out in pants as she burned with desire and need. “I want this, Xander. I want you.”A satisfied growl rumbled in my chest at her words. Before I could second guess I pulled her close and crash

Ava's povI laid in bed staring at the ceiling as the bond finally settled but my mind raced with thoughts of how eventful the day had been.Leo and Aria had also completed the mate bond. It was weird being on all fours and mating like an animal. It would definitely take some getting used to. My bones and muscles ached, a reminder of the pain of shifting. Xander had said it would fade in a couple of days and soon, shifting will become effortless.I smiled remembering Xander and I cuddled up, laying on the grass naked as we stared at the night sky. We had done the verbal acceptance as well.My body felt new, my hearing, vision, strength and nose were heightened. Now I understood why Xander's chamber was secluded, to help keep the noise at bay.As for Aria, she had been silent since we shifted but I could still feel her at the back of my mind watching, waiting.We needed to talk, Xander has given me a couple of tips on how the bond between Aria and I worked. I closed my eyes and allowed

THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 133
Ava's povThe 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.And then I stood
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 132
Ava's povThe 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 throne.”We s

Ava's povThe 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 pup grows strong
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 131
Ava's povThe 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 small, but
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

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

Ava's povThe morning sunlight filtered in through the tall windows, casting soft golden glow across the stone walls of our chambers. The fire from last night had burned down to glowing embers, but I still felt warm—safe in the memory of the stars and the enormity of the secret I’d carried all night.I smiled, rubbing my tummy even though it didn't have a bump. It all still felt like a dream to me. I couldn't believe that I was carrying my child— out child— and would soon be able to hold him or her in my arms.This was like a reward from the gods for taking down zerathos. It was the most perfect gift.Xander’s scent hit me before I heard his footsteps. Woodsy. Earthy and a hint of citrus.He pushed the door open with ease, stridijg in, he was already halfway out of his ceremonial coat, his black shirt clinging to his chest beneath it. His eyes found me immediately—still seated at the edge of the bed, half-dressed, barefoot, lost in my thoughts.“There you are,” he said, his voice soft

Ava's povPregnant.The word sat on my tongue like a secret not yet ready for the world to know. Heavy and new. Sacred. My hands trembled as I exited the healer’s wing, the soft glow of lanterns lining the path doing little to light the darkness within me.It wasn't a bad darkness, it was just confusion.The corridor behind me felt like it belonged to another world—a place of certainty and whispered truths. Healers always knew things, some that we wanted to hear and the ones that we didn't want to hear. Out here, beneath the dark sky things felt more real.Too real.I walked slowly, aimlessly, not ready to return to the castle after what I had just learned. Not ready to face anyone. Especially not Xander.Not yet.The gardens were quiet this time of night. Peaceful. A hush had settled over the grounds, as though the very earth was holding its breath. The petals of Kaida’s cherry blossom tree glowed pale pink in the moonlight, and I found myself drawn toward it. Toward the spot we alwa
