last update publish date: 2026-11-06 00:27:53

Amara’s POV

I saw two maids stop talking when they saw me.

I slowed beside the staircase, wondering whether I walked into something private. One held a basket of towels. The other was wiping the long table beneath the window. Both lowered their heads.

“Good afternoon, miss.”

“Good afternoon.”

I looked behind me. There was no one there.

When I faced them again, they were still waiting with their heads bowed. Before now, people whispered because I had no wolf. And this morning, they discove

  • The Alpha's Forbidden Mate   Chapter Eleven: Have Dinner with Us

    Amara’s POV I wasn’t certain what to do once he sat down. Thiago rested an arm against the side of the chair, his black shirt pulling across his shoulders. I looked at the cup in my hands instead. Having him close made me want to move closer, and I refused to give Nia another reason to be pleased with herself. “Stop staring at the tea,” she said. “He might think there’s something wrong with it.” “You wanted him here. Help me think of something to say.” “Ask him to stay longer.” I took a drink and ignored her. Thiago picked up the book beside the tray. “Is this what made your bag so heavy?” “That one and the others.” “Dario complained.” “Dario offered to carry them.” “He would offer to carry a tree if your mother asked.” I smiled. “She would make sure he ate first.” His mouth curved, and for a moment, I forgot why I kept reminding myself not to like him. He was easier to talk to when he wasn’t telling me what to do. Then his eyes settled on mine, and I lowered my cup. “Wh

  • The Alpha's Forbidden Mate   Chapter Ten: It Was Only Tea 

    Thiago’s POV “I asked her for the list, Celeste.” Amara turned toward me. Celeste remained beside the door, her green eyes fixed on the paper in my hand. “And now she expects everyone to run around after her?” “I asked for tea,” Amara said. “You’re making it sound like I requested the pack.” “Enough.” I placed the list on the desk and looked at both women. “The household can manage this. There is nothing here that requires an argument.” Amara stood, smoothing her blue dress beneath a cream cardigan. “Then I’ll leave you to it.” She reached for the pen near my hand, looked at it, then put it down again. She kept her chin lifted while Celeste watched her. At the door, she glanced back at me. “The eggs are important.” “I read it.” She left without looking at Celeste. Orange blossoms and wild honey lingered near the desk, and Nero growled when my fiancée took the chair Amara just left. “You let her speak to you any way she likes.” “I can answer her.” “That isn’t the point.”

When I faced them again, they were still waiting with their heads bowed. Before now, people whispered because I had no wolf. And this morning, they discovered that I had the wrong kind. I could not imagine what happened between then and now to deserve this reception. “Perhaps they’re being polite,” Nia suggested. “They look frightened to me.” I almost asked why, then decided I was tired of having uncomfortable conversations. “Have either of you seen Tessa?” “She’s near the kitchens, miss.” “Thank you.” I continued down the passage. Another maid stepped aside for me, and I began wondering whether I should return to my room until everyone reme

  • The Alpha's Forbidden Mate   Chapter Eight: She Needs Us 

    Thiago’s POV “Stop being unreasonable. She doesn’t even like us. You saw what she did at Willowmere. She tried to reject us.” “That was because she was scared.” “Her kind killed our parents, Nero. You know what they can do.” He went quiet, but I knew better than to mistake that for agreement. My wolf never gave up something he wanted simply because I told him to. With Amara, he seemed prepared to fight me over every decision. I moved away from the window and loosened my collar. “We don’t need to keep arguing. We have a fiancée.” “You do. I don’t.” “I chose her.” “And the Goddess chose Amara. We have a woman who needs us and is destined for us. Perhaps we should start there.” A frustrated growl escaped me. I ran a hand through my hair, wishing I could make him understand how much this changed. Celeste was waiting for answers. So were my elders. Soon, Alphas beyond Valcrest would hear that I brought an Unbound into my home. And they would learn that she was my mate. “She is s

  • The Alpha's Forbidden Mate   Chapter Seven: I Want Our Mate 

    By the time we reached Valcrest, the blood on my dress was dry. We left the damaged car behind and continued in a replacement from the nearest patrol post. Bren travelled with Soren. Dario called my father before we moved, and Thiago assured me that I could speak to him properly when we arrived. I nodded, keeping my hands wrapped around the clean cloth. Whenever I let go, they started shaking again. The gates into Valcrest stood between two stone towers. Warriors waited on either side, already aware that the convoy was bringing wounded men. A tall man with tawny skin and short black curls came straight to Thiago’s window. “Kellan,” Thiago said. “Two escaped into the woods. Dario has the location. Keep the boundary patrols together until we know where they went.” “And the prisoner?” “Ivara takes him. No one questions him before she arrives.” Kellan’s amber eyes moved briefly towards me, then to the bandage beneath Thiago’s open shirt. He did not ask about either. “The healer’s

  • The Alpha's Forbidden Mate   Chapter Six: No One Touches What Is Mine 

    Amara’s POV I looked from Thiago to the open car door. “Is something wrong with this car?” “You’re coming in mine.” Celeste stood beside his vehicle. Even from where I was, I could see her fingers tighten around the strap of her bag. “Your fiancée is there,” I said quietly when he came closer. “I can see her.” “Then perhaps you can see why this is a bad idea.” He glanced towards the gate, where the first escort vehicle waited. “We have a long drive ahead. Get in, Amara.” I could refuse. Everyone already knew his command would do nothing to me. But my mother was standing on the steps, trying to smile, and I could not bear to give her another thing to worry about. I went to his car. Thiago sat between us, which kept Celeste from having to look directly at me. It did nothing to stop me from noticing how her hand rested near his on the seat. I turned towards the window. My father stood with an arm around my mother. I lifted my hand, and she waved until the car passed through the
