Rowan's POV

“It’s the same spell,” Marcus said after our third failed attempt. “It doesn’t matter if we’re on foot or in a vehicle. The magic is preventing us from reaching his territory.”

I slammed my hands on the steering wheel in frustration.

“How is this possible?” I demanded. “This kind of spell, this kind of ward, would require massive amounts of power. How many witches is Maximus working with?”

“It would take at least five or six powerful witches to maintain a barrier this strong,” Claire said quietly. “Maybe more.”

My mind raced. Maximus had access to multiple witches. This was going to be a serious challenge as we were already at a huge disadvantage.

“We need help,” Derek said. “We need a witch to break through this barrier.”

I immediately pulled out my phone and started scrolling through my contacts. I had a few witch allies, people I had helped over the years who owed me favors.

I called the first one.

“Hello?” a female voice answered.

“Celeste, it’s Alpha Rowan Bane,” I s

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 292

    Rowan's POVI stood frozen in the empty hallway, my heart pounding violently in my chest.That voice.I knew that voice.My eyes snapped upward toward the staircase, searching for the source.And there she was.Iris.She was standing at the top of the stairs, looking down at me with a small smile on her lips.Relief crashed through me so intensely that my knees nearly gave out.She was alive. She was here. She was okay."Iris," I breathed, my voice barely above a whisper.She looked beautiful. Her hair was clean and brushed. She was wearing a simple yellow dress that looked comfortable. There were no visible injuries on her body.She didn't look like someone who had been kidnapped and tortured.But something felt off.I couldn't put my finger on it, but something about the way she was standing, the way she was looking at me, felt wrong.My wolf stirred inside me, trying to push forward, trying to tell me something.But I ignored him.All I could see was Iris.I took one step forward,

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 291

    Iris’s POVAs Maximus's lips pressed against mine again, my body responded eagerly, and it made me sick. My hands moved to his chest, pulling him closer, while internally I was screaming and pleading.Stop! Stop! This isn't me! Please, someone help me!Suddenly, the door burst open with a loud bang that echoed through the room.Maximus pulled away from the kiss, his head snapping toward the door. A deep, threatening growl rumbled from his chest."What the hell is your problem?" he snarled at the intruder.It was Oliver again. His face was pale, and sweat beaded on his forehead. His usual composed expression had completely crumbled, replaced by genuine fear."Alpha," Oliver gasped, clearly out of breath. "The Alpha King is here, and he's pissed."Maximus's expression darkened slightly, but he didn't look panicked. "So? We knew he would come eventually.""He interrogated the palace guard you hired," Oliver continued urgently. "Cole talked before he died. The King knows you're behind Iri

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 290

    Iris's POVWhen I opened my eyes, sunlight was shining through the windows—I was no longer in that dreaded underground room. I was back in the luxurious room that I had stayed the first day I came to this pack.The soft mattress, the expensive sheets, and the warm blanket felt like heaven compared to where I had been staying. It felt like I was experiencing sunlight for the first time in years.But something was different.My body felt strange and wrong somehow.I tried to move my hand, but it wouldn't respond the way I wanted it to. It felt like there was a delay, like my body was moving on its own without waiting for my commands.What was happening?"You're awake."A voice came from beside the bed, and the moment I heard it, something inside me exploded with joy.Pure, overwhelming happiness flooded through me so strong it stole my breath.But why? Why was I feeling this way?I turned my head toward the voice, and my eyes landed on Maximus.He was sitting in a chair beside the bed,

    Rowan’s POVRelief flooded through me as I watched Sebastian’s lies crumble under the King's interrogation.Finally.Finally, someone with a lot of power to help was on our side.But then Sebastian's expression changed.The fear and uncertainty vanished, replaced by a cold and defiant expression.He scowled, then snarled directly at the Alpha King."This changes nothing," Sebastian growled. "You're all trespassing on our territory. Leave now, or we will make you."Everyone went silent in shock.I couldn't believe what I was hearing. No one spoke to the Alpha King like that. No one.More wolves emerged from the forest and from behind the pack house. Dozens of them began taking aggressive stances."You dare?" Silas barked, his voice echoing with power. His Alpha aura pressed down with crushing force.But the wolves didn't react. They didn't cower or submit like they should have.They just stood there, completely unaffected.Sebastian smirked, noticing our shock."That doesn't work on us

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 288

    Rowan’s POVI shifted back to human form, standing naked and bloodied before the Alpha King. I panted heavily from exhaustion, but I kept my head high."Your Majesty," I said, my voice rough. "My mate is in there. I can feel her. She's inside that pack house."Something flickered across Silas's face. His eyes narrowed slightly."You can feel her?" he asked, his voice neutral."Yes," I said firmly. "Through our mate bond. She's here. Maximus has her."Silas studied me for a long moment. Then he turned to face the beta who had led the attack against us.The man had shifted back to human form and was standing with several of his warriors behind him."What is your name?" Silas asked."Sebastian, Your Majesty," the beta replied. "Beta of the Red Storm Pack.""Beta Sebastian," Silas said slowly. "Alpha Rowan claims he can feel his mate inside your pack house. He claims she's being held here against her will. So the question now is... why?"Sebastian stiffened. The wolves around him tensed u

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 287

    Rowan’s POVThe wolves lunged at us from all sides, with their teeth bared and their claws extended.I shifted mid-air, my clothes tearing away as my bones cracked and reformed. My wolf charged forward with a roar, meeting the first attacking wolf.Behind me, I heard the others shifting as well. Shane’s brown wolf appeared at my left. Marcus’s gray wolf at my right.We were outnumbered, but we wouldn't allow that to stop us.I crashed into the first wolf, using my superior size and strength to throw him aside. He yelped as he hit the ground hard.The plan wasn’t to kill them. We needed to get to the pack house, to Iris. Killing Maximus’s warriors would only complicate things further and give the Alpha King more ammunition against us.So we fought defensively, trying to push through rather than to destroy.I dodged the snapping jaws of another wolf, then used my shoulder to slam into him. He stumbled backward, giving me an opening so I could move forward.Shane was fighting two wolves
