The She Alpha Forbidden Mateย ย ย Chapter 74: Arrival of An Archmage
For a moment, there was no response, and fear clenched at my heart like a vice. But then, slowly, Selene's eyelids fluttered open, revealing eyes that were filled with confusion and uncertainty."Claudio?" she whispered, her voice barely above a whisper.Relief flooded through me at the sound of her voice. Without hesitation, I reached out and pulled her into a tight embrace, holding her close as if afraid she might disappear once more."Sel," I said, my voice choked with emotion. "You're back. You're safe."Aunt Agatha rushed forward, her eyes brimming with tears as she embraced Selene tightly. "Oh, my little flower, you had us so worried," she said, her voice trembling with emotion.Selene buried her face in Aunt Agatha's shoulder, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I'm sorry," she whispered, her voice muffled against the fabric of Aunt Agatha's robe. "I didn't mean to cause so much trouble."Aunt Agatha pulled back slightly, her hands cupping Selene's face as she looked into her eye

Lucian's eyes flickered with amusement as he straightened. "The honor is mine, Crown Prince. I understand the urgency of the situation. We are here to provide whatever assistance is necessary.""Right! Let's get to work," I replied curtly."Let me fill you in on our progress," Avery said, her tone calm and composed. Lucian nodded, his sly smile not quite reaching his eyes. "Thank you, Princess."As Avery began to walk him through our efforts, Lucian's demeanor shifted. His smile dropped, replaced by a keen, assessing gaze. "I see no sign of the wolves!" he exclaimed, his voice sharp and authoritative.Avery chuckled softly, the sound incongruous with the tension in the air. "Look well, Lucian. Their bones are buried in the sand beneath us," she said, her words dripping with dark humor.I shot her a cold glare, my patience thinning. This was no time for games or macabre jokes.Lucian's expression hardened, his eyes narrowing. "What is that supposed to mean?" he asked, his tone icy. It

Selene continued, her voice firm and unyielding. "Reinforcements have arrived. We'll mend the border swiftly and efficiently, without any delay."Hearing this, I couldn't help but smirk, realizing Natalie had successfully delivered my message to Selene's father."Your Highness, it's done," Natalie whispered as she appeared behind me. I nodded, making a mental note to reward her later.Understanding the gravity of losing so many wolf soldiers, I knew something had to be done to prevent further chaos. I had sent Natalie to inform the Alpha of Blood Moon about our dire situation, urging him to send another two hundred wolves to support Selene. It seemed Selene had met them on the wayโperfect timing.The shock on Avery's face was priceless. "How did youโ" she yelled, utterly astonished.Lucian chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Hahaha, as expected, you are just as my mother praised," he said, complimenting Selene and letting everyone know how highly his mother, Alicia, regarded

SELENE'S POV"Are you okay?" The words, tender and laced with concern, rolled from his mouth. It was all it took to destroy the facade I had been nurturing for so long.If I opened my mouth to speak, nothing but a loud wail would escape, so I kept silent and hugged him as my life depended on it, letting my silent tears speak for me.I honestly didn't know where to start. The trip down my ancestral memory lane? The torture and realization of my origin? The realization of my agonizing future? Or when I got lost in the ancestral spirit world, hiding from enraged spirits trying to shred my soul apart?If not for Claud, I don't know how I would have survived. At that moment, I had already accepted death. I wanted its peace so badly... I wanted to not exist.Ethan tightened his embrace, his steady heartbeat grounding me in the present. "I'm here," he whispered, his voice a soothing balm to my shattered soul. "Whatever it is, we'll face it together."I took a deep breath, drawing strength fr

King Lockwoodโs eyes closed in concentration as he channelled his ethereal energy through the thread. King Nicholasโs stoic expression softened slightly as his regal strength flowed into the circle. My fatherโs commanding presence bolstered the magic, grounding it with his unyielding resolve. Aliciaโs mystic aura intensified, the green flames around her body flaring as she poured every ounce of her power into the barrier.I shifted my attention from the Elders to Arthur. His presence disturbed me to the core; I just couldn't shake that feeling off.[You suspect him,] I heard Lena's voice in my head, and my eyes swelled with tears.'Lena, you're back!' I squealed inwardly. 'I missed you so much.'[I'm so sorry I couldn't be with you. My consciousness was sealed away,] Lena said and I nodded.'I understand. As long as you're here now,' I replied. Truth be told, not every werewolf is lucky to have a wolf with its consciousness, but I am. I have Lena, my wolf with her consciousness, which

"We have to stop this," I said, and was about to go pull Nicholas out of the formation."We can't! They are already joined together by our celestial thread. Breaking them apart will make things worse," Avery said, making me stop in my tracks."Princess Avery is right. The celestial thread binds power and soul together. They are one now. It's either they finish the formation or they lose their souls and powers," Selene explained, her voice steady despite the turmoil around us."What are we going to do now?" I asked, frustration seeping into my tone."It's not working. Their energy is blocked... We need a purer force! Something stronger," Avery yelled, on the verge of tears.I immediately turned to Selene, seeing her quiet and pondering with her head tilted to the side. I knew what was on her mind instantly. "No!" I said, and she heard me. She looked at me, and her eyes spoke to me, 'I don't have a choice.' I shook my head, not in support, but before I could do anything she appeared rig

**SELENE'S POV**A splitting headache forced my eyes open. My vision was blurry, so I closed my eyes and then opened them again. Now I could see clearly. I looked around in confusion. Where am I? This doesn't look like my room... How did I get here?The headache increased as I tried to remember what happened. I held my head and groaned in pain. The last thing I remember is letting that burst of energy engulf me... The rest is a blank. My whole body ached terribly and was numb. What happened?I tried to sit up, but my muscles protested, sending waves of pain through me. I managed to prop myself up on my elbows, surveying my surroundings. The room was unfamiliar, yet it had a certain warmth to it. The walls were adorned with soft tapestries, and the air was filled with the faint scent of lavender."My Love! You are awake! You are finally awake". I heard this warm voice and turned in disbelief, "Mom?".She hugged me tight in the blink of an eye, I was stunned but I hugged her back witho

Ruby gave me one last look, her eyes filled with both concern and affection, before excusing herself. "I'll go help Luna with dinner, my lady," she said softly, giving me a small bow. "Thank you, Ruby," I replied, watching as she quietly left the room, closing the door behind her. The room felt emptier without her, but I knew she was just as eager to make sure everything was perfect for my first meal since waking up. With Ruby gone, I let out a breath I hadnโt realized I was holding. My thoughts immediately drifted back to the letters waiting for me, tucked away in that secret compartment. My heart swelled with anticipation. I could almost feel Ethanโs presence through those letters, the connection we shared bridging the distance between us.I took another bite of the fruit, savoring its sweetness as I imagined what his letters might say. His thoughts, his worries, his loveโall there, waiting for me to discover. A part of me itched to dash to my room and read them all at once, but I

Blood. Smoke. Screams.The battlefield was chaos incarnate. A blur of blades, claws, and death.Hybrids surged in wavesโdark, snarling creatures with eyes glowing like cursed embers. They didnโt tire. They didnโt retreat. Every time one fell, three more took its place.My sword tore through flesh and bone, spirit energy pulsing with each strike, but still they came.โSelene, left!โ Ethan shouted.I spun just in time to see a hybrid leaping at me, its claws ready to rip into my sideโbut Ethanโs blade was faster. It slashed through its midsection, black blood splattering across the ground.Our backs met.Our rhythm was a deadly danceโswing, duck, parry, strike. Two hearts. One beat. One blade.We moved as one.He covered my blind spots. I watched his flanks. The battlefield bent to our pace, enemies falling with each pass. The sky thundered above us, ash raining down like cursed snow.Across the field, Rubyโs arrows flew like guided lightningโeach one landing with deadly precision. Eira

The ringing in my ears faded into screams and the pounding of terrified footsteps. I pushed myself off the ground, my heart thundering as my eyes searched through the smoke and flames."Selene!" I heard him before I saw himโEthanโs voice tearing through the chaos like a blade.I turned just in time to see him rushing toward me, dust and worry etched into every line of his face. I ran to him without thinking and threw myself into his arms. He caught me, holding me like I was air and heโd been suffocating."Are you okay?" he asked, his voice raw, desperate.I nodded quickly, trying to mask the shaking in my limbs. "Help the children," I whispered against his chest.He nodded without question and turned away, already barking orders and shielding the small ones caught in the confusion. I spun around, grabbing a dazed woman by the arm and guiding her behind the larger tents for cover. Another explosion sounded, this one farther away, but no less terrifying.My eyes darted around the crowd.

โI should get ready,โ I said, brushing my fingers gently down his cheek.He nodded but didnโt move to let me go. โIโll walk you back.โWe walked hand-in-hand regardless of the eyes on us, the soft grass cool beneath our feet, until the lights of the pack grounds began to shimmer ahead of us, little orbs of amber and gold floating through the air like fireflies. Music thrummed faintly in the distanceโdrums, flutes, laughter, and the sweet scent of roasted honey fruit and grilled spice meat drifted through the air.The Night Festival had begun.He left to get ready while I also prepared.By the time Ruby came to get me, I had already changed into the dress Imara picked for meโdeep emerald green with silver threads woven through the fabric like whispers of starlight. It flowed around me like mist, soft and regal.โMy lady,โ Ruby breathed as she fixed the last flower in my hair, โyou look breathtaking.โI gave her a small smile and nodded. โThank you, Ruby.When we arrived at the heart of

"My lady, you have not had rest since you left your room this morningโyou look pale," Ruby said, her voice laced with concern."My lady, just let us do the rest," Eira chimed in gently.Imara gave a small, firm nod beside her.I smiled at them, warmth blooming in my chest. Their loyaltyโฆ it always amazed me."Thank you for your care," I said softly. "Iโm fine. You all can go and prepare for the night festival." I paused, glancing at Ruby with a knowing look. "Let me know when itโs almost time.""Yes, my lady," they said in perfect unison before walking off, leaving a quiet hush in their wake.I turned and made my way back to Serene Lake.And thenโI saw him.โYouโre back,โ he said, and just like that, the tension in his shoulders melted. His eyesโthose deep, storm-touched eyesโlit up like a dawn I could only dream of.I smiled, a real one this time, from somewhere deeper than my bones. I nodded, and before I could say a word, he was already on his feet, wrapping me in his arms.His hug

The second I saw herโher long silver robes flowing like moonlight, her steps slow but full of purposeโI broke composure and ran.โAunt Agatha!โI threw my arms around her before I could stop myself.She felt thinner than I remembered. Her once-strong frame now felt like delicate twigs beneath soft velvet. Her scent was familiar, earthy and warm, but there was something differentโfainter, like a flame struggling to stay lit.She stood stiffly, but her hand reached up and gently patted my hair, the motion careful, calming.โMy little flower,โ she murmured.I pulled back just enough to look into her face. Her eyes, once sharp with mischief and magic, were shadowed by fatigue. Her cheeks were hollow, her skin pale beneath the soft lines of age and wisdom.โAunt Agatha, are you alright? You look unwell.โโIโm alright, little flower,โ she said with a smile that didnโt quite reach her eyes.I didnโt believe her. But I nodded anyway.Now wasnโt the time to argue.โI need the barrier strengthe

SELENE'S POVEthan is rightโnobody is ever truly ready for war.The thought echoed in my mind, sharp and undeniable.His words hadnโt just settled inโthey rooted themselves in my chest, heavy and unrelenting. The truth of what was coming was no longer some distant threat. It was here. And it was hungry.But my fear wasnโt about war alone.It was about him.My mate.My Ethan.My heart clenched painfully as the image of him flickered in my thoughtsโhis eyes dimmed by something that did not belong to him, his voice edged by a force older than memory. I had felt it myselfโฆ when I touched him. A shadow, ancient and relentless, coiled beneath his skin.And now I understood.Irisโs fear hadnโt been overblown or dramaticโit had been real. And now, it was mine too.But there was something elseโฆ something I could control.I could suppress the darkness within himโstill, it, quiet it as a mother calming a violent storm cradled in her childโs soul.

The moment I swore those words, the air around us snappedโcharged, alive. The wind stirred unnaturally, rustling the trees in a sudden gust. A strange pulse rippled through my chest like a silent drumbeat.Then came the burn.Subtle at firstโlike static crawling beneath my skinโbut it quickly intensified. My breath caught. A pressure built inside me, raw and ancient, tightening around my lungs.But I didnโt let go of her.Not yet.I ground my teeth and forced myself to stay calm. I wouldnโt show weakness. Not in front of her. Not when she needed my strength.But I felt itโsomething inside me shifting. Unfurling. Watching.A presence that did not belong.I drew in a sharp breath and finally released her, rising to my feet. The earth trembled beneath me, only slightly, but I felt it. Power thrumming just beneath the surface of my skin. My hands were shaking, not from fearโbut from the sheer force of what was clawing its way to the surface.โSelene...โ I turned from her, holding out my h

I clenched my fists so tight that my nails dug into my palms. The words came out in a low, jagged rasp, each one heavier than the last. "A force on par with the celestial realm. The maker of the mutated hybrids that terrorized our realm... and the human realm. The dark overlord." The weight of those words seemed to settle over the room, thickening the air, and I could feel my chest tightening as if the mere mention of that name might bring terror to it."Alexander the First," Alpha Lucas completed, his voice colder than usual. His expression matched the gravity of the situation, something I'd seen beforeโa reflection of deep worry masked by controlled composure.But then my gaze turned to Selene, and everything in me stilled. She was sitting there, poised as always, her fingers curled around her teacup with quiet elegance. There was no sign of shock, no flicker of fear, nothing that should've been there when faced with such a threat. She was... calm. Too calm.And then she smiled.It

Natalieโs knock was soft, almost timid. "Your Highness, Alpha Lucas summons you." Her voice pulled me from the wreckage of my thoughts. I stood slowly, my limbs aching, my mind a haze of guilt and regret. The room still reeked of her scentโfaint now, like a ghost clinging to the edges of my soul. I opened the door, and Natalie stood there, her expression tight with worry. Her eyes darted to the blood on my sleeveโI had missed a spot. "Find Claudio," I said quietly. "Tell him to please check up on her." She gave a small nod and turned without a word. I shut the door and leaned against it for a second, exhaling shakily. My heart thudded dully against my ribs. I didnโt want to face him. I didnโt want to face anyone. Not when my hands had nearly taken everything from me. I dragged myself into the bathroom. The mirror above the sink was crackedโmocking me with jagged reflections. I couldnโt even look into my own eyes. I washed my face in silence, scrubbing harder than necessar
