Forbidden Love

Aria Blackwood has spent her life trapped beneath her father’s iron rule. When she is paraded through the glittering halls of the Grand Moon Hall, offered as a prize to unite the powerful Twelve Houses, she believes her fate is sealed. But one forbidden night changes everything. The stranger who steals her breath is no ordinary wolf. Kael Nightborne is the King of werewolves, ruler of Nightfall Keep, and the last man Aria should ever desire. When dawn comes, he turns her away, cold, distant, unreachable. Except Aria carries his child. Hunted by secrets, betrayed by blood, and chased into the dangers of the High Wilds, Aria discovers that her father, Victor Blackwood, is tied to horrors buried deep within the Forsaken Heights, sins that could tear the realm apart. As enemies close in from Ironwill Basin Pack to the shadows of Veilshade Peak, Kael is forced to choose between his crown and the woman fate never intended for him. Love was never part of the plan. Neither was a baby that could change the balance of power forever. When the truth finally comes to light, will Kael protect his hidden family, or will the past claim them both before dawn breaks?

I see book is currently ongoing. Has it ended? Will only read completed books because some authors have chosen pay over their readers and extending books without real content. One book is over 740 chapters and ratings have plummeted. I hope this one ends soon.

ARIAThe dress was pulled so tight around me that breathing fully was hard. The deep red fabric pressed against my chest, squeezed my ribs, and clung to my hips, as if it had been made to keep me trapped.The high slit along my leg was the only reason I could move at all. Sitting would be impossible unless I lifted the gown first. I already knew I would not be allowed to do that.This was exactly what my father wanted.The only time my father wanted me seated was when I was on someone's lap. Straddling them. On purpose. Tonight, that lap belonged to Alpha Alaric Stonefang of the Ironwill Basin Pack.This night decided my future. Not freedom. Just a different cage. I was leaving my father's rule and stepping into another man's control. I knew nothing about Alaric. Not his temper.Not his habits. Not what he was like when no one watched him. All I could do was hope he was better than my father. That hope was small. Anyone had to be better than Victor Blackwood."Smile," Victor growled a

ARIAWait. How did he know about my window?My father did not know about it. I was sure of that. If he ever found out, I would be dragged underground and locked away. There would be no arguing. No mercy.“I do what I am told,” I said quietly. My throat felt tight. “I will obey you.”“Yes,” he said with a slow smile. “I hear your wolf is very obedient. I enjoy that.” His hand grabbed my backside, rough and careless. “And this dress. Very bold. Why don’t we find somewhere private so I can look properly?”This was supposed to be my moment. The moment I had prepared for. The moment Alaric Stonefang would truly see me. I was meant to offer myself, just like my father trained me to do.But I could not move.My chest felt locked. Each breath scraped its way in. The lights blurred. The voices around us melted into noise.When he tried to guide me forward, I pulled back instead. His grip snapped tight around my wrist.“What do you think you’re doing, little red?”“I just need air,” I said. My

KAELThe small red-haired woman did not speak once during the drive. She did not look out the window. She did not shift in her seat. She did not ask where we were going. She sat perfectly still, hands clasped in her lap, her face blank, like whatever was inside her had already gone quiet.When the car stopped, my men opened the doors and helped her out. She did not fight them. She followed them to the hotel room without a sound.The trip had been quick. Fifteen minutes, maybe less. Brex's suggestion. Somewhere close, in case I never made it back to the Grand Moon Hall. He always thought ahead. Usually, I respected that.My phone buzzed in my pocket. Then again. I ignored it. Someone would pull Brex's attention away soon enough. They always did.I still did not fully understand why I had taken the redhead from the ball. At first, it was simple. A reason not to go back inside. An easy escape. But the truth came quickly after. Alaric Stonefang had found his mate tonight.And it had not b

KAELShe snorted, then laughed. It was sharp and sudden. She rolled her eyes, and for the first time I saw a flaw in her mask. Something real moved beneath her control.“I’m sorry,” she said. “You’re an alpha and you don’t like balls? I don’t buy it.”“Don’t you?” I asked.“Oh, come on.” She flicked her hand. “Alphas love showing power. You do it in your own lands, with your packs, where no one can truly test you. But a ball is different. That’s where it counts. Leading a pack is easy. At a ball, you all stand around and compare yourselves. Who matters most. Who is strongest. Who keeps the tightest hold on their wolf. They call it unity, but it’s really just one long fight to see who stands on top.”She stopped talking. Her shoulders pulled tight. Then she looked down and scrunched her nose.“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that.”“No,” I said evenly. “You shouldn’t have. But you aren’t wrong. Balls serve no real purpose.”“To you.”I tilted my head. “Say that again.”“They’re useles

ARIAI was pretending to be brave. I did not really know how to be rough or quick. I did not know how to be soft or slow either. All I knew was that his gaze kept coming back to me, over and over, and my heart had not slowed since the instant I noticed him.This was the first decision I had ever made without fear. I wanted Kael. I would never see him again, and he would be the only one who knew the truth.A secret. I barely had any. I wanted this one. I needed it. Something to keep. A memory that was mine alone.And Kael Nightborne of Goldenreach would be enough.His hands moved over my skin, light but sure, and my breath began to falter. When he leaned closer, my body trembled without my permission.“Are you changing your mind?” he asked softly as his hands slid under my shirt.I did not answer. I lifted the shirt over my head and let it fall to the floor. I wet my lips, afraid to speak. If I did, I might tell him to stop. Or I might beg him to keep going.He was very good at pullin

KAEL Her scent was everywhere in the hotel room. It hung in the air and soaked into every surface. The couch where I had first made her come. The bed where I had taken her again and again until the night blurred into morning. The shower where I carried her before dawn because we had ruined the sheets, pressing her against the cold tile and not stopping. The towel on the bathroom counter where I bent her over and drove into her until my hands shook.In the end, we had fallen asleep on the couch. I woke the moment she shifted her weight and slid away from me, but I stayed still. I kept my eyes closed and listened as she moved carefully, trying not to make a sound. The door opened. Then closed.When I finally stood and checked the room, I saw she had left everything behind. She had not taken the clothes I offered. Not the dress either. That meant she must have shifted and gone home as a wolf.I picked up the torn dress and laid it across the bed. I stared at it, waiting for it to tel

KAEL I forced my shoulders to loosen as I settled deeper into the chair. The wood creaked under my weight. I focused on breathing slow and steady. I pushed everything else aside. This was work. This was duty.“Tell me about your house,” I said.When Alaric and his soon-to-be bride finally left, I returned to my room expecting quiet. I expected empty space and clean air.Instead, someone was already there.Corvin stood by the window, looking down at the street below. He turned when the door closed behind me and scanned the room with a look of mild disgust.“I don’t think bleach will solve this,” he said. “You might have to burn the whole place before the hotel lets another soul sleep here.”He wasn’t exaggerating. I had ordered the sheets changed the moment I left that morning. I had demanded the carpets scrubbed and the furniture cleaned. Still, the air was thick.It smelled like sex.And like her.“You were at the Grand Moon Hall,” I said.Corvin lifted one eyebrow. “And you weren’t

ARIA Three weeks later.The doors and windows were boarded and locked. A guard stood outside my door at all times. It had been stupid to run while my father was out of town and think I was safe. Victor never missed much, and Rook missed nothing. Rook liked hurting me. Maybe he liked it more than my father did. Ever since the night at the Grand Moon Hall, he had been waiting for his chance. I should have known he was watching. He always was.I should have stayed with Kael. There was something between us. Not a mate bond, but most wolves never found their mates anyway. Even if Kael didn’t want to marry me, he might have given me a place in his pack at Goldenreach. I had thought about telling him everything. I almost did. But when I looked out the window, Rook was there, ready to tear the place apart.I had just washed Kael’s scent from my skin. The last thing I wanted was Kael charging in and starting a war. So I did what I always did. I went out to Rook myself. Naked. Quiet. Ready

ARIA Her story sounded unreal, but I knew my father too well. Victor was praised by the Ironwill Basin Pack as an alpha who could do no wrong. They saw the golden wolf with the easy smile. The strong leader. The man everyone trusted. Most of them never saw what lived underneath that image. I did. I knew about the hunger he carried. I knew how badly he wanted control of Ironwill Basin. That was why my marriage to Alaric had been arranged in the first place.I had believed the bond would be political. A marriage to tie power together. I never thought it would be sealed with blood instead of vows. But the more I thought about it, the more it fit. Killing to gain power was exactly something my father would do.“Rook found me,” I said quietly. “You already got what you wanted, Lyra. Why did you come back?”“Alaric is a beast,” she said in a whisper. Her voice cracked under the weight of it. “I came back to see my father, and to get supplies. I needed to run. I can’t marry him. One day h

ARIA My wolf almost never came out. When she did, she was scared of everything. I barely had any control over her at all. The idea of freedom was the only thing that had carried us this far. But now she was frightened, and when my wolf got scared, she ran. I was too close to stopping now.I could not let her bolt. I could not let her take over."Wait," a familiar voice snapped.Kael Nightborne stepped into view and looked down at me. His gaze was sharp and cold."She was in the luggage?" he said. "We drove five hours with a stowaway in the trunk, and you didn't even smell her? You're fucking fired."Five hours.My stomach dropped. I hoped this had been just a short stop. Five hours still meant we were too close to my father.The man he was speaking to immediately dropped his head and stepped back. Another man cleared his throat."Don't go anywhere," he said. "You're not fired.""Excuse me?" Kael growled. "Who gives orders here, Corvin?""You do," Corvin replied calmly. "But I can sm
