All Chapters of Once Upon a Forbidden Mate: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

This was not going according to plan. I was meant to be delaying whatever scheme the council had planned for us for long enough for Raymond’s ex-mate to complete her spell. It had been going so well, but I hadn’t counted on them threatening Dominic’s family, even though I probably should have.The council were masters of manipulation and Dominic was particularly susceptible to this given his history with them. His new Alpha wolf didn’t help either, your emotions were stronger just after getting your wolf and your ability to push back against your wolf’s control was much lower. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the reason they had targeted him in the first place.I couldn’t worry about that now though, I had to do something to manage this situation. Brianna had already shifted into her wolf and tackled Dominic’s wolf, pushing him onto his side. With him subdued, I could give my full attention to delaying the council. Her spell had to be nearing its end, I just needed to delay them fo

I had never felt particularly comfortable in a cocktail dress, high heels, and a face full of makeup. But today was special, today was my Luna ceremony. I had tried to tell my mates that it wasn’t necessary as I had already been doing the job for nearly five months, but they wouldn’t listen to me.They said it was because the pack needed something to celebrate after all the problems we had with Alpha Kennedy and the council. However, I had a feeling that they were also looking forward to showing me off in front of the whole pack, especially now that my bump was starting to show.When I first found out that I was pregnant, I was worried. We hadn’t planned to start a family so soon, and we still weren’t sure if our plan to rid ourselves of the council had been completely successful. It had taken a lot of reassurance from both of my mates to convince me that everything would be fine.As it turned out, I hadn’t needed to worry too much about the council. Shortly after we allowed the counc

Present day“Good morning, sweetheart,” Eddison purred as he carried my breakfast tray through the door with a far too cheerful grin on his face.Ever since he recognised me as his mate almost two years ago, everything changed. He is now pretty much the only person I ever see. He hasn’t taken a single day off, and he won’t let anyone else come into my room, even for a second. He acts as though I still belong to him even though he rejected me, and I hate it almost as much as I hate him.I tried to ignore him at first, but there is only so long you can go without human interaction before it starts to affect your sanity. At least that is the lie I told myself when I let my walls begin to crack. I wasn’t weak, I just needed someone to talk to. It didn’t mean I had to be nice to him, though, did it?“Good morning, d

“You’re either really dumb, or you have some seriously big balls, although I am not sure I want to find out which one,” Darren told me with a laugh. I knew that the other guards had been talking about me ever since I started acting possessive towards Becka. I wasn’t the only guard to find my mate among the inmates, but all the others cut ties with their mates completely after rejecting them. They knew better than to mess with Alpha Kennedy’s plans, but Darren was right. I was either dumb or brave because I wasn’t just planning to defy the Alpha’s plan, I was planning to dismantle his whole criminal network.“I’m not sure I want to find that out either,” I replied. I picked up the tray that was meant for Becka and slipped a few extra portions of fruit and strips of bacon onto it. Becka needed to put some weight on before I broke her out. Even for a werewolf, she was much too thin, and I was worried about what would happen when I marked her. ‘As I keep telling you, she’s an Alpha. She

Ascending the elevator behind Brianna was the most terrifying experience of my life. Knowing that at any moment the elevator doors could open and Eddison could be standing behind them. I wouldn’t be able to stand by as Brianna killed the man who was meant to by my mate, but I knew I didn’t stand much of a chance at stopping a highly trained Alpha at her full strength.“You ready?” Brianna asked as the number on the small screen above the elevator door approached zero.“As always,” her beta replied, flashing her a smile. Heather bit her lower lip, no doubt to suppress a possessive growl from escaping her lips.“Good, because I have a feeling this corridor won’t be quite as empty as when we came in.” Brianna’s gaze was focused ahead of her as the elevator started to slow down and pull to a stop.The doors opened in what felt like slow motion, my heart pounding in my chest as I noticed the guards standing outside it, waiting for us. I scanned their faces, hoping that Eddison had left ear
