Isla’s POV

I knew I couldn’t just reject the bond.

As much as I hated the idea of being tied to an arrogant, and obviously controlling Alpha like Killian, I couldn’t lie to myself. If he hadn’t saved me, if Arianna hadn’t failed to kill me… I wouldn’t be standing here. After Lucien rejected and banished me, I would’ve been dead. Killian was right. I wouldn’t have survived the aftermath.

The only reason I was still alive was because he had marked me. I became someone else's just hours after being rejected by the one I thought was mine. If I were to reject him now—openly, publicly—I wouldn’t survive it.

But I knew he wasn’t daring me because he understood the risk.

He was daring me because he knew I wouldn’t do it.

Why?

Was I... attracted to him?

I couldn’t even tell if it was the bond chaining me to him—or if, deep down, I truly didn’t want to reject him.

“You… you think I can’t?” I snapped, furious that he had s

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Bride    Chapter 111

    Isla’s POVIt had been three days, and Liam was still chained to the rocks deep in Killian’s dungeon.Three days of him refusing blood, fighting us with what little strength he had left. We’d managed to force some down his throat, just enough to keep him breathing, not enough to make him strong, but enough to stop him from fading.Today Killian was supposed to meet Calista for the cure. I prayed it wasn’t another one of her games.The door opened and Killian walked in with Thorne behind him.“You’re not gone yet?” I asked.“I came to give you this.” Killian handed me something small. I looked down, it was a gun, shaped like a compact, polished pistol.“Hybrids heal fast,” he said, “too fast for wolfsbane or vervain to slow them for long. This fires silver bullets. They’re immune to wood which vampires aren’t, but silver works on hybrids. These bullets were soaked in vervain and wolfsbane. Three shots can keep one pi

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Bride    Chapter 110

    Killian’s POV I stepped slightly forward, letting my shadow fall over Thorne, while keeping one eye on Liam. The air between us thickened, tense, alive with the danger Liam radiated.“Gift?” Thorne croaked, his voice barely audible, but I could hear the tremor, the faint stutter of a man facing something far beyond him.“Yes,” I said, calm, almost casual, though every nerve in my body was screaming at me to act. “A gift meant to remind you that some mistakes… are fatal.”Isla pressed close to me, her hand brushing my arm. I could feel her tension, her fear, but also her unwavering trust that I could handle this.I appreciated it, even as the weight of what was about to unfold pressed down on me.Liam’s breathing grew heavier, each inhale dragging the scent of blood into the room. His eyes locked onto Thorne again, unblinking, unrelenting.“Killian…” Isla whispered again. “You can’t… he’s too far gone. He won’t

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Bride    Chapter 109

    Killian’s POV Isla froze, her hands trembling. “That’s not funny,” she said, her voice almost a whisper. Liam’s jaw tightened. “Do I look like I’m joking?” He took a step forward, and I saw it, the faint red creeping into his eyes, like veins of fire threading through them. “Calista’s spell didn’t just bring me back,” he went on, his breathing shallow. “She bound something else to me. I can feel it crawling inside, hunger.” I stood up, fists clenched. “You should’ve told me the moment you woke up” “I thought I was just hungry for food naturally, I didn’t even understand it until now!” Liam snapped. “It’s like something whispering behind my thoughts, urging me to…” He stopped, shaking his head violently. “To what?” Isla asked, though her voice wavered. He looked at her then, and I caught it, the hunger he was fighting to hide. His hands t

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Bride    Chapter 108

    Killian’s POV Isla and I sat beside Liam’s still body in my house, waiting for something, anything to happen. Calista’s words kept echoing in my head, that he’d wake up when the spell ran its course. But every minute felt like a century. “So when did you start believing in Calista?” Isla finally asked, her tone sharp but tired. “Liam’s like her son so she won't watch him die,” I said quietly. “She raised him, even though he hates her so much.” “Why would he hate her if she raised him?” she pressed. “Too much information can hurt, Isla.” “Then why tell me she raised him at all?” she shot back. “You already got me curious.” I sighed. “She erased his memory. She made him believe she was his mother.” The words tasted bitter. “What happened? Were you involved in a bad way?” she asked, watching my face too closely. “No. Why

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Bride    Chapter 107

    Killian’s POV We filed into the hall together, me, Liam, and Calista. The ministers were already waiting for us. Someone from the Blackwood pack stood at the center, a messenger in stiff robes holding a parcel wrapped so bright it almost hurt to look at. If this were a different day, I'd have called it a golden mage and laughed. Today it felt like death wrapped in gold. Thorne’s eyes slid to Calista as soon as he saw her. “We’ve met before, haven’t we?” he said, cautious civility in his voice. “You can call me Calista,” she answered, voice soft and mocking. She offered her hand and, to my surprise, Thorne bowed and pressed a kiss to the back of it like some courtly fool. The scene set something sour in my mouth. I walked to the Alpha seat. Calista settled where the Luna should sit, that small, powerful seat before my right hand. I felt every pa

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Bride    Chapter 106

    Killian’s POVThe road blurred. I didn't care about speed limits or polite traffic.Nothing mattered except that burning knot in my chest that said Liam could not die because I gave him some task. Yes, he was with Mia under my command so I'm indirectly involved in what that leads to.The pack cemetery sat beyond the corpse, rows of names, weathered stones, a place men came to lay their grief down and try to pretend it wasn't still inside them.My hands tightened on the wheel. I tried to breathe. The radio was off because every news was about the search for the Beta who ran away, Liam.I stopped the car and left the engine running. My chest was tight, and every part of me just wanted to see him. I didn’t even close the door properly.The cemetery was quiet. No guards, no movement, just rows of graves laying in the dark. And there he was, standing in front of a headstone, his shoulders heavy like the world had already ended for him.He didn’t move when I walked up. I stayed a few step
