THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE CHAPTER SIXTEEN: THE GUARDIANS OF SHADOW PEAK
The mountain trembled beneath their feet.Every wolf in the manor fell silent.Even the Blood Hunters hesitated.The ancient howl rolled across Shadow Peak once more, deeper than thunder, older than memory itself. It seemed to rise from the earth instead of the sky.Kai forced himself to his feet despite the wolfsbane burning through his veins.His chest rose and fell heavily.The hunter leader narrowed his eyes toward the forest."What is that?"Aldric answered quietly."The Guardians."Marcus looked between his father and Kai."You've seen them before?""No.""They were already legends when I was a pup."Another howl echoed.Closer.This time the walls shook hard enough for pieces of stone to rain from the ceiling.Outside, every Blackwood wolf lowered their heads instinctively.Not in fear.In respect.Deep beneath the manor, Maya stopped walking.The warmth inside her had grown stronger.Her heart wasn't the only heartbeat she could hear anymore.Another rhythm pulsed beneath her
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE CHAPTER FIFTEEN: THE BLOOD HUNTERS
The warning bells continued to echo across Blackwood Territory.Their deep, metallic toll rolled through the forest like thunder, waking every wolf within miles.Outside the manor, warriors poured into the courtyard. Some shifted into enormous wolves before disappearing into the darkness, while others remained in human form, armed with silver blades and reinforced crossbows.Rain lashed against the stone walls.Lightning split the sky.Maya stood frozen in the library doorway as the manor transformed into a fortress.Kai grabbed a black leather jacket from a nearby chair and shrugged it over his broad shoulders. His silver eyes had turned completely amber.His wolf was close.Very close.Marcus fastened a sword across his back."The eastern patrol has gone silent."Kai's jaw tightened."Dead?"Marcus nodded once."We don't know how many made it through the border."Aldric's voice remained calm despite the tension."They didn't come for territory.""They came for Maya."Silence settled
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE CHAPTER FOURTEEN: THE ENEMY WITHIN
The Blackwood Manor had never felt so quiet.Not because the pack had stopped talking.Because everyone was whispering.Every servant who crossed the hallway lowered their voice the moment Maya appeared. Every warrior paused just long enough to glance at her stomach before pretending to be busy.She hated it.She wasn't a prisoner.Yet somehow she felt trapped.Sage sat beside her on the terrace overlooking the endless forest while arranging fresh herbs into small bundles."You've been staring at those trees for almost an hour.""I'm thinking.""You've been overthinking."Maya sighed."There's a difference.""There really isn't."The healer smiled, but her smile faded when she noticed Maya rubbing her abdomen again."The baby?"Maya nodded."He hasn't stopped moving."Sage placed a careful hand against Maya's stomach.Almost immediately she felt a strong kick.Her green eyes widened."He's stronger today.""You can tell?""I can feel his aura."Maya frowned."Aura?""Alpha pups radiat
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE CHAPTER THIRTEEN: SHADOWS OF DOUBT
The morning mist clung to the towering pine trees surrounding Blackwood Manor, wrapping the estate in an eerie silence.Maya stood outside the balcony doors with both hands resting against her growing stomach.The forest was beautiful.Yet she had never felt so alone.Behind her, servants moved quietly through the room, pretending not to stare.Whenever she turned around, they quickly looked away.She understood why.To them, she wasn't a guest.She wasn't family.She was the human carrying an impossible child.The child that threatened centuries of tradition.A gentle knock interrupted her thoughts."Come in."The door opened, revealing Sage carrying a wooden tray filled with breakfast."You skipped dinner again.""I'm not hungry."Sage raised an eyebrow."You keep saying that."She placed the tray on the table before walking toward Maya."The baby is."Maya looked down at her stomach.Almost on cue, a tiny kick pressed against her palm.She smiled despite herself."Good morning to y
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE CHAPTER TWELVE: THE SECOND TRIAL
The forest was unnaturally quiet.No birds sang.No squirrels darted through the branches.Even the wind seemed reluctant to disturb the ancient trees surrounding Shadow Peak.Maya stood at the edge of the forest, dressed in dark hiking clothes Sage had found for her.A leather backpack rested against her shoulders.Inside were only a canteen, a compass, a small first aid kit, a flashlight, and enough food to last a day.Marcus adjusted the straps one final time."Comfortable?""I think so.""You'll need both hands free."She nodded.Around them, nearly fifty wolves gathered in a wide circle.The atmosphere was nothing like the first trial.Yesterday had felt ceremonial.Today felt like an execution.Councilor Silvercrest stood on a raised platform with Elder Naomi and several council members.His voice carried across the clearing."The Second Trial measures strength."He paused deliberately."Not the strength to overpower others.""The strength to endure."He raised one hand toward t
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE CHAPTER ELEVEN: THE FIRST TRIAL
The first rays of sunlight spilled across Shadow Peak, turning the mist that clung to the mountains into ribbons of silver.Maya stood before the bedroom window, staring at the sprawling territory below.Her stomach fluttered.Whether it was nerves or the baby, she couldn't tell anymore.A soft knock came at the door."Come in."Sage entered carrying a neatly folded cream colored dress."You can't wear jeans to face the Council."Maya looked at the dress.It was simple, elegant, and surprisingly modest."You picked this?"Sage nodded."The Council expects you to look weak."A mischievous smile crossed her face."So we're going to disappoint them."Maya laughed."I like the way you think."Half an hour later...The Great Hall looked completely different.Long wooden tables had been removed.An enormous circular platform occupied the center of the room.Above it hung the Blackwood crest, a silver wolf beneath a full moon.Nearly every member of the pack had gathered.Some stood quietly.
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE CHAPTER FOUR: THE HUNT
Kai Blackwood stood motionless in the center of his pack's grand hall, every muscle coiled tight as the priestess's words echoed off the stone walls."The Alpha has impregnated a human." Her voice was thin, ancient, condemning. "An abomination. The human and the pup must be eliminated before the ne
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE CHAPTER FIVE: THE CALL SHE WAS NEVER MEANT TO HEAR
KNOCK.KNOCK.KNOCK.The sound echoed through Maya's apartment.She sat upright on the couch, her heart pounding so hard it hurt.For a moment she thought she was still dreaming.The nightmare had felt too real.The hand around her throat.The suffocating darkness.The terrifying sense that someone
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE CHAPTER THREE: IMPOSSIBLE
Day two, this has never happened before.When the bleeding finally stopped, Maya looked up at her reflection and froze.Something was different. Her face looked... sharper somehow. Her eyes brighter. Her skin is almost glowing despite the dark circles underneath.A wave of nausea hit her hard. She
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE CHAPTER TWO: COLLISION
She checked his pulse. Thready. Skin clammy. He needed help.But she couldn't go back inside. Couldn't face that hospital again."Come on." She hooked her arms under his shoulders, straining against his weight. He was tall, muscular, dead weight in her arms. "Walk with me."Step by painful step, sh
