Liam's POV

I leaned against the bar, nursing a glass I hadn’t touched. My eyes never drifted far from Killian. He had Daphne pinned down with that stare of his, making sure she's not leaving her sight.

But it wasn’t Daphne that worried me, it was Isla. Alpha Killian has instructed me to keep my eyes on Arielle while he would keep Daphne entertained in case any of them was planning anything against Isla.

She had excused herself, whispered something into Killian’s ear, then disappeared into the corridor. I didn’t like her leaving out of sight.

I tried to keep calm, but my gut wouldn’t let me. Most of the people here would surely stand against Isla once they know who she is. And if she so much as stumbled into their trap, they’d eat her alive.

My phone buzzed with some irrelevant message, but I ignored it. My eyes flicked toward the far end of the hall, to where she’d gone. A shadow moved there a moment la

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Bride    Chapter 137

    Isla’s POV Silence swallowed the graveyard. My tears wouldn’t stop. They slid down my cheeks unchecked as I stared at the ring resting in Thorne’s open palm. It wasn’t just a ring. It felt old in a way time couldn’t explain. The symbols carved into it stirred something deep in me, something that hummed under my skin, as if the land itself knew it belonged to me.“I…” My voice cracked before the word could form. I lifted a hand to my mouth and shook my head. “I don’t even know who I am yet.”“You are a Blackwood,” Thorne said gently. No teasing. No arrogance. Just the truth. “By blood. By fate. By everything they tried to bury.”I felt Killian beside me before I saw him. His presence was solid, tense. I knew that look, his instincts were screaming, telling him to pull me back, to shield me from this weight being laid at my feet. This was destiny.I turned and saw Daphne on the ground, her eyes red, hollo

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Bride    Chapter 136

    Liam’s POV I took the necklace from Killian slowly, like it might burn through my skin if I moved too fast. It felt heavier than it should, not by weight, but by meaning.“At what cost?” I asked, my eyes fixed on it. “What do you gain from this?”Calista tilted her head, lips curving into that familiar, unsettling smile. “Must there always be a price where I’m concerned?” she said lightly. “Your mother was my longtime friend. I’m willing to bring her back for you.”Her tone was playful, almost mocking, and it only made my grip tighten. Nothing about her generosity had ever come without blood.“Then tell me,” I said, lifting my gaze to hers, “what stopped you all these years? Why couldn’t you bring her back before now?”She laughed softly. “I haven’t seen that necklace in years, darling. How exactly did you expect me to perform a resurrection without it?”I looked down at the chain resting in my palm.And f

    Liam’s POVCalista laughed, a short, hollow sound that didn’t carry any warmth. She turned away from Daphne and faced the tomb instead, resting her palm on the cold stone as if it were the only thing there that understood her.“You ask questions like a child who thinks answers are owed,” she said calmly. “Blood doesn’t make a mother. Survival does.”Daphne stepped closer, shaking her head. “Stop talking in riddles. I deserve the truth.”Thorne shifted beside me. I felt it, the way his body went rigid, the way his jaw locked as if every word Calista spoke was a test he was trying not to fail.“She deserves it,” Thorne said quietly. “Whatever you think you’re protecting, it’s already broken.”Calista turned then, slowly, her eyes finding Thorne’s face. For a brief moment, something unreadable passed between them. Recognition, maybe. Or regret.“You look too much like him,” she said. “That alone tells me you are exactly who you claim to be.”My chest tightened.Killian took a step forwar

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Bride    Chapter 134

    Liam’s POV Sleep never came. I lay there the entire night, staring into nothing, counting thoughts instead of hours. We were supposed to meet Calista, and the idea of seeing her again sat in my chest like unfinished business. I didn’t just want answers from her, I wanted blood. If Daphne truly was what Thorne believed she was, and Calista had carried that truth in silence all these years, then she’d made her choice long ago. I wouldn’t hesitate to make mine.A loud knock shattered the quiet.“Wait up, hot headed Beta!” Thorne’s voice followed, sharp and relentless, his fist banging against my door like he owned the place.I groaned, dragged the duvet off my body, and sat up. “Give me just five minutes,” I called back. “Five. Not a second less.”We’d been living under the same roof for a while now, by circumstance, not by agreement. Endless arguments, complaining about foods I poured my whole talent into making, clashing tempers, doors slammed more times than I could count. Still,

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Bride    Chapter 133

    Isla’s POV The entire drive back, I said nothing. Not a word. Even when we arrived and stepped out, I stayed behind and watched Killian walk inside after asking me, again and again, what was wrong with my dull countenance.I had no answer to give him. Or maybe I did, and it was too obvious to bother saying. Daphne was about to be dragged through hell for something that should have ended with me.I stood there a moment longer, letting the distance between us stretch, then turned to follow him inside.That was when Liam stepped into my path.“We need to talk,” he said.“I don’t have the strength for whatever you think is necessary to talk about now,” I replied, already moving past him. “Not tonight.”I barely made it a step before his hand closed around mine.“Let go,” I snapped, tugging, trying to pull free.“I checked Grayson’s records,” he said, his grip tightening just enough to stop me. “E

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Bride    Chapter 132

    Isla’s POV For a moment, no one spoke.The compass didn’t just twitch, it settled, the needle locking into place. Thorne’s grip tightened around the object, his thumb brushing the rim as if to be sure it wasn’t playing tricks on him. Daphne stared at her finger, then at the compass, then back at Thorne, disbelief written plainly across her face.“That’s impossible,” she said. “I’m not from your damned pack.”Thorne didn’t answer her right away. His attention was fixed on the needle, his jaw clenched so tightly a vein stood out along his neck. “Blood doesn’t lie,” he said at last. “Names do. Records do. People do. But trust me, blood doesn’t.”Killian stepped forward, placing himself half a step between Thorne and Daphne. “You said the heir was lost,” he said. “Not living comfortably under another name.”“Lost doesn’t always mean living wretchedly or dead,” Thorne replied. “Sometimes it means hidden.
