The Alpha's Forgotten Mate Chapter 23
Aeliana's POVThe war room was larger than I expected.I'd never actually been in here before. At least, not that I remembered. It was a large space in the basement of the pack house, walls covered with maps and security monitors, a huge table dominating the center. The five of us gathered around the massive conference table.Caelan sat at the head, looking every bit the Alpha he was supposed to be. Marcus and Liora flanked him on either side. David had his laptop open, ready to present evidence.And me? I sat beside Caelan, trying to look like I belonged here and not like I had no idea what I was doing.The main wall was dominated by a huge screen, currently split into four video feeds. Four different packs, all connected by this call.Alpha Thomas Riverside appeared in the top left feed, his Beta standing behind him. Top right showed Alpha Sarah Blackwood with her Gamma. Bottom left had two enforcers from the Mountain Ridge Pack. And bottom right was Alpha Marcus Silverstone, who lo

Aeliana's POVThe packhouse felt different the next morning.I couldn't put my finger on it at first. People still said good morning when they saw me. Still smiled and nodded. But there was something underneath now. Something that hadn't been there yesterday.Fear. But not the kind I expected.They weren't afraid for the missing children, though that worry was there too. This was something else. Something that made conversations stop when I walked into a room and start again in hushed whispers after I left.I was pouring coffee when I heard them.Two women I barely knew, standing by the kitchen window. Pack members, but not ones I'd spent much time with since being back."I'm just saying," one of them was whispering, "it's an awful coincidence.""Shh. She might hear you.""She's Luna. She should hear this. Should know what people are thinking."I kept pouring coffee, pretending I couldn't hear every word."Think about it, Sarah. Two years of peace. No magical attacks, no missing child
The Alpha's Forgotten Mate Chapter 21
Caelan's POVThe meeting was going to shit.I'd called it to brief them on our security upgrades, get everyone on the same page about patrol schedules and threat assessments. Standard pack business.Instead, I was listening to Elder Morrison drone on about "insufficient measures" while Elder Hayes nodded along like a bobblehead. The other three elders sat in their usual spots, looking appropriately grave and offering nothing useful.Liora stood by the window looking like she'd rather be anywhere else. Marcus leaned against the wall with that patient expression he got when he was trying not to roll his eyes. David had dirt under his fingernails from whatever tracking work he'd been doing."...current threat level requires more decisive action," Morrison was saying. "We need to consider bringing in outside consultants, perhaps even relocating vulnerable pack members until..."The door burst open.Aeliana stood in the doorway like she owned the place. Hair slightly mussed from her walk,
The Alpha's Forgotten Mate Chapter 20
Aeliana's POVI hadn't seen Caelan since the morning.Not that I was complaining or anything. The man had pack business to handle, and I... well, I had a day to figure out what the hell had just happened between us.Breakfast was awkward as shit. Elena kept giving me these knowing looks across the table while Meredith hummed happily at the stove. David made some comment about "glowing" that earned him a smack from Sophie, and even Liora seemed less hostile than usual.Like they all knew exactly how I'd spent my morning.Which they probably did. Wolf hearing was a bitch when you wanted privacy.By lunch, I was going stir-crazy. My wolf was restless, probably missing Caelan's presence, and I couldn't sit still. So I wandered.The pack house was bigger than I'd realized. It was divided into different wings with numerous rooms. Rooms I hadn't explored yet, hallways that seemed to go on forever. From the North wing, which

Caelan's POVDawn light crept through the curtains, painting everything gold. Aeliana was still asleep against my chest, her breathing deep and even. Her hair spread across the pillow like spilled honey, and I could feel the steady rhythm of her heartbeat against my ribs.I'd been awake for maybe an hour, just watching her like a creep. Two years of empty beds, of waking up alone, and now she was here. Warm and the cause of my boner.She stirred, making this soft sound in the back of her throat that went straight to my groin not helping my already predicament. Even in sleep, she was beautiful. More than beautiful. She was everything.I pressed a kiss to the top of her head, breathing in her scent. Lavender and vanilla and something that was purely her. Something that had been haunting my dreams for two years.Her eyes fluttered open. "Morning," I said quietly, not wanting to break whatever spell was keeping her relaxed in my arms.She smiled, slow and sleepy. "Morning. I could feel y
The Alpha's Forgotten Mate Chapter 18
Aeliana's POV The rogue's teeth were inches from my throat when I woke up screaming. My body jerked upright in bed, heart hammering so hard I thought it might burst from my chest. Cold sweat covered my skin, and the metallic taste of fear coated my tongue like I'd been drinking blood. But it hadn't been fear in the dream. It had been rage. Pure, white-hot fury as I tore through rogue wolves like they were made of paper. My claws had been longer then, sharper, designed for killing rather than the careful control I'd learned in training with Marcus. And I'd used them. God, I'd used them. The scent of blood and death still clung to my nostrils, so real I could barely breathe. "Aeliana." Strong arms wrapped around me before I even registered movement, pulling me against a warm chest that smelled like pine and safety. Caelan's voice was rough with sleep and concern, his hands gentle as they stroked my hair. When had he gotten into bed with me? The question should have mattered mo
