THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 87
Xander's pov)We had done our best in avoiding the pack over the last few days. The hidden chamber was very helpful in teaching us about Ava's powers, I wanted to focus on hers before mine. I was already strong, shaped by years of hard training but Ava knew nothing.I stood in a private training ground in the far corner of the castle one morning watching as Ava struggled to summon her abilities.She has the power—I could feel it. But it was locked deep inside her, untapped. She mentioned lightning but I had a feeling that there was more."Focus," I said, standing behind her. "Breathe. Feel the energy in your blood. Feel it flowing through your veins, coursing all over your body. Channel it to your fingertips.”She exhaled in annoyance. "I don’t feel anything, Xander." She snapped."Yet. You will, soon."I stepped closer, wrapping my arms around her waist from behind and pulled her close.She stiffened. "What are you doing?""Relax," I murmured. “Stop overthinking it."I placed my hand

Xander's povA group of rebels armed with the new weapons concerned Magnus and Draven never the barracks. Magnus was strong and holding his ground against them but Draven looked cornered with his back pressed against the wall of the castle.I rushed over to them, tearing any one who stepped in my path. I lunged at the rogue closest to Draven, the unexpected movement made the weapon fall out of his hand and clatter to the ground. I wasted no time in crushing it under my paw then tearing into his shoulder. The sickening sound of crunching bones was like music to my ears.Ava wasn't far behind as she ran past me and lunged at another rebel. He pulled out a dagger attempting to cut her but she dodged effortlessly, her jaw clamping around his wrist with a ferocious growl.More rebels poured into the courtyard, forcing us to fall back. They were more coordinated than before, their attacks synchronized as if being puppeteer by someone we couldn't see.They knew our defenses well and effortle

Xander's povI know the keeper said not everyone could find the chamber but Magnus knowing was bad enough.The attack wasn't just about killing us, it was a diversion. Their goal was the chamber.I shifted to my human form in an instant."Magnus!" I roared, he spared me a quick glance, eyes wide before retreating with the rebel into the chaos.Ava grabbed my arm. "What is it?""They're after the chamber," I snarled. "We have to stop them!”We tried to chase but lost them.“Let's check the chamber.” Ava said, voice filled with urgency.“Wait.” I stopped her. “What if that's what they want? They could be lingering, waiting to see where exactly it's hidden and how to get in.”Ava was silent as she pondered my words. Suddenly, her eyes went blank then it returned to normal.“Aria said she knows what to do.” Ava said then her eyes became electric as Aria took over.She reached out her hands and lightning shot out forming a wall at the entrance of the hallway so no one would see or pass thr

Xander's povGarrick held up a hand, silencing the audience. “That's not why we're here. We summoned you both for answers. During the battle with the rebels we all witnessed something… unnatural .” His eyes flickered to Ava briefly. “The human shifted into a wolf. How?”The murmurs were louder this time.Maris leaned forward, hands clasped in front of her and her expression suspicious. “And not only did she shift into a wolf, she shifted into a white one. That has never been seen or heard of in the entire history of Lycara— not even among the ancient bloodlines.”Thane suddenly slammed his fist on the table. “What sorcery is this? Is she a threat to us?”Leo snarled inside me but I claimed him, the last thing we needed was Leo going crazy and repeating the history with Vanessa and her friends. I stepped forward and addressed him, my voice cold and unwavering.“She is no threat,” I snapped. “If anything, she’s the reason we’re still standing. Without her, this castle would’ve fallen. S

Xander's povBut she wasn't done.Slowly, she turned to face the crowd. Her eyes swept over the crowd. The truth wasn't just directed at the council but at everyone present. The novels, the warriors, the guards, the pack members and servants as it concerned everyone.“I have had enough of the lies. I have tried to hold on to the truth for a little longer but today, I can't anymore.” Ava began. “The war— the one you have all been taught, the one that shaped our current society is a lie.”She casted a sharp glance at Garrick. “You said Xander was telling a tale right? You should be ashamed of yourself, you and the rest of the councils joined your ancestors in spreading ‘tales’ all these years.”“What insolence!” Garrick roared, slamming his fist on the already cracked table.“Shut your mouth!” This time, it was Aria who commanded it. Her voice carried so much power that I stumbled back as the force of the command hit me even though I wasn't the one it was directed at.All the wolves tit

Xander's povAfter Ava's outburst in the council's chamber there has been a sudden silence in the pack as everyone was still reeling from the shock of her revelation.I had heard some rumours about a little uprising growing not only in blackthorn but in the other packs as well. I would have to figure them out later.Right now we're still rebuilding the castle. But as we worked to med everything that has been destroyed, something kept bothering me. Like I was forgetting something important.I tried to remember what it was but couldn't. I tried shaking off the feeling but it kept disturbing me, that something had been left unfinished.One day, it hit me. Like a cold slap to my face.The rogues we had captured.They had been rotting in the dungeons, forgotten, since they had been captured during the ambush weeks ago and more had been captured during the castle attacks. We had more than enough to interrogate. Due to all the chaos, I had completely forgotten.Finally, I had a means of gett

Xander's povI clenched the paper in anger. He had been leaking a lot of information right under our noses.I continued to check the crate and found more detailed letters talking about Ava, me, the warriors, patrol shifts, enforcers, warriors that had been sent out of the pack undercover, details on the other pack. Everything.I also found a map with symbols I didn't recognize. It had coordinates to parts in the realm I had never bothered with and some parts that I knew of.Parts that Magnus was in charge of and told me lies about. More hideouts that were right under my nose but I had failed to see.I cursed as I realized how well Magnus had played everything out. He was highly intelligent.One thing still bothered me. Why?Before I could study the map, one of the scouts we had positioned at the base of the cliff burst into the cave, his face pale from the cold and his breathing ragged."Alpha," he gasped, nearly collapsing in front of me.I grabbed his arm, steadying him. "What is it

Xander's povThe pool was small enough to indicate that it wasn't a fatal wound but it was enough to make my stomach drop.Her scent was all around it so there was no denying it.I scanned the area looking for any trace of Lyra or Magnus then I spotted an arrow in a tree with a note at its tip.I snatched it off, hands trembling with barely controlled rage.“If you want her back, come find me. But be quick, Xander. She’s running out of time.”Magnus.A growl escaped me as rage as hot as kava coursed through me.Roman dropped to his knees near the pool of blood. His face filled with fear, sadness and anger.Yes, she was my sister as well but she was his twin. Always by his side since they were in our mother's womb. They were one soul in two bodies.I felt a pang in my chest as I remembered my mother. I had vowed to protect her babies and now, one had been taken from under my nose because I had been too occupied to keep an eye on them. I felt like a failure.“They took her,” Rowan whisp

THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 235
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
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 231
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
