Aeliana's POV

I returned to Caelan's recovery room after leaving Marcus at Vera's cell. The door clicked shut behind me, and suddenly we were alone for the first time in days.

Really alone.

Caelan was awake and sitting up in bed, shirtless because of the bandages wrapped around his ribs. The setting sun painted his skin gold, highlighting the scars and bruises that mapped out everything he'd survived. Though he looked much better than he had this morning. The color had returned to his face, and his eyes were clear and focused.

"Come here," he said

"How did it go?" he asked as I stood there.

"Liora's awake. She's fierce, stubborn, and already try

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Mate   Chapter 65

    Aeliana's POV* Maya's hands twisted together nervously. "I know you probably have a lot of important things to deal with, and I don't want to be a burden, but..." She took a deep breath. "I want to see my sister. Vera. They told me she's being held in a cell, and I understand why, but I just... I need to see her.Just to make sure she's okay." The desperation in her voice tugged at something in my chest. I thought about the bond between sisters, about what it must have been like for Maya watching Vera suffer under Annalise's control for three years. "You want me to take you to her," I said. "If you could. I know it's a lot to ask, and I know Vera did terrible things, but she's still my sister. She's the only family I have left." Tears gathered in Maya's eyes. "Please. I just need to see her, to talk to her, and make sure she's really alive and safe." I glanced back at Caelan. He was watching us carefully, with his tense posture. If I told him I was taking Maya to the cells, he'd i

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Mate   Chapter 64

    Aeliana's POVThe garden was supposed to be peaceful, a time out from the chaos of the past days. But peace felt like a foreign concept now, something that belonged to a different version of me—one who didn't carry an ancient, conscious being inside her body, who was normal.I sat on the stone bench near the rose bushes, Caelan beside me with his arm draped protectively across my shoulders. He'd barely let me out of his sight since telling me about what happened that night.I understood his fear. I shared it. But understanding didn't make the constant hovering any less suffocating."You're tense," Caelan murmured, his thumb tracing circles on my shoulder."I'm fine.""

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Mate   Chapter 63

    Aeliana's POV"There's something else," I said quietly, looking away. "Something I haven't told you."His posture tensed. "What?""The dreams I've been having. They're not normal dreams." I wrapped my arms tighter around myself. "They feel like memories, but they're not mine. I see places I've never been. People I don't recognize. And sometimes...""Sometimes what?""Sometimes I wake up knowing things I shouldn't. Even languages I never learned. Information about magic I've never touched." I finally met his eyes. "What if those aren't dreams? What if it's this thing, showing me things? Or, you know, preparing me for something?"The wariness spiked again through the bond, but Caelan's expr

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Mate   Chapter 62

    Aeliana's POVWarmth surrounded me, but not the kind that brings comfort. This was a suffocating, restrictive kind, like being wrapped in bands of iron that were pretending to be arms.Soft sheets brush against my skin, and morning light filters through the curtains. Caelan’s body is pressed against mine, warm and solid, his arms wrapped around me like he’s afraid I’ll slip away if he lets go.His breath is steady against my neck, but mine isn’t because his grip on me makes it difficult to be even.My first thought was that it was sweet. Protective, even…well, if one overlooks his attempt to murder me with his grip. He was probably still shaken from yesterday… from finding me unconscious in the garden, but I would really like to breath

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Mate   Chapter 61

    Caelan's POVHer glowing eyes fixed on me, and I saw something flicker, recognition or maybe curiosity."You love her."It wasn't a question. The voice...or voices, I still couldn't tell...seemed almost curious about this fact."Yes.""Even without knowing what she carries? Or what danger that brings?"My jaw clenched. "I don't care what she carries. I love her, not the power, not the key, or whatever you are. I just want her, only her."All I receive is silence. But the symbols slowed their rotation, and the light dimmed, just slightly. Eventually I could breathe again."Your bond is strong," the voice said, and it sounded almost... surprised. "Stronger than we expected.""The mate bond doesn't break," I said, my voice steady despite the fear still clawing at my chest. "Not for power or for danger and definitely not for anything. So whatever you're doing to her, stop it and let her go.""We do not hold her. She holds us. We are awaking because she allows it.""Then put her back to s

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Mate   Chapter 60

    Caelan's POVI couldn't sleep.Every time I close my eyes, all I see is Aeliana collapsing in the garden, with blood running from her nose. I can still hear the way she'd screamed when she was in and out of consciousness or the absolute terror in her eyes when she'd whispered about something watching her from the inside.So I stayed awake, sitting in the chair beside our bed, while watching her sleep.She'd fallen asleep hours ago, exhausted from whatever she had been through. Jolene had given her something to help her rest, warned me not to let her be alone, and left with a worried expression that did nothing to ease my fear.Now Aeliana lay curled on her side, her pale face against the pillow, her beautiful eyes marred with dark circles under them. She looks so fragile in a way that made my chest ache. This is my mate, my partner, my love, my bane of existence, the woman who'd fought beside me against Annalise and survived a curse meant to erase her.And I couldn't protect her from
