All Chapters of The Alpha’s Banished Mate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“The interesting thing about this forest is that it also makes the shadows of whoever is standing on its own shadow look bigger. So, if we have a hundred men stationed just at the edge of the Forest of Shadows, the enemy is going to think that we have twice the men. Should Orion's army approach this men, our men would have seen them coming and will retreat into the forest before Orion's army gets to them at the edge of the forest. Now, besides the shadows, the Forest of Shadows is known for its trees with large thorns that are also poisonous. Orion's army will think that our men fled before them to hide in the forest but actually, they would be luring then into a labyrinth of poisonous thorns,” I saw Gamma Erwin nodding his head as I spoke and I could see the twinkle in Zeta Ruphus’ eyes. It meant that they liked what I was saying so far. “So with only a hundred men we can kill a thousand men of Orion. The Forest of the Shadows surrounds about seven of our towns. The only place that

“Mummy, I'm scared,” he muttered to me. “Don't be. I promise to find you wherever you are, okay?” I kissed him on his forehead and closed the wall again. It was time to defend our home from attack.Damien's POVI left Austin where he stood and went into my study. I closed the door behind me, entirely centered towards my desk. Then, I felt the presence of someone in the room, and I looked to the couch at the corner. Brielle sat there, her legs crossed, looking at me with eyes that I could not place what emotions were in them.“Brielle,” I commented coldly, shocked to see her there.The last time I had seen her was at the banquet with Alpha Axel, where she had made plans with him and then had a funny tantrum, trying to get me to introduce her as my Luna and even telling me that she was pregnant.“Damien,” she said, standing up slowly, walking to meet me across the room.She put out a hand and placed it gently on my chest. I looked down at her hand on my chest and then met her gaze, gi

His peaceful form warmed my heart. I was about to leave when he called out softly, “daddy?”“Yes, buddy? You’re awake?” I entered the room and sat by his side. “I couldn't sleep,” he replied. “Why is that, hon?”“I keep thinking about the day mum left me in your wall,” came his response. I had my eyebrows raised because I was not aware of such a thing ever happening. “Mum left you in my wall?” I asked to make sure that I had heard right. “I kept thinking the bad guys would come get me, I was so scared,” he said, his voice trembling slightly. “The bad guys will never come for you, okay? daddy is going to make sure of that,” I told Jeremy. I knew that since the last attempted kidnap he had been traumatised by what had happened. I did not know the extent to which it had troubled him because I had been away for a long time. However, I was home now and I was going to ensure that my son got the proper care he needed to overcome his fears. “Will you tell me that bedtime story now, dad?

"Of course your highness," she said with a smile. "I shall get one. She walked towards where a ton of cleaning supplies had been kept and gave me some wipes. Once I was done, she took it from my hand to dispose of it. I smiled at her in appreciation. "Thank you."I continued to supervise their work knowing that they would be more efficient with my presence there. Moreover, I did not necessarily have anything of importance to do since Jeremy and Simeon had gone horse riding or to have some father and son moment. After several hours, the maids were finally done and it was cleaned to my satisfaction. "Keep up the good work," I called out to them, clapping my hands. "You all should get some rest and have a late lunch. Then dinner... You can have the rest of the day off.""Thank you, your highness," they all called out, each one of them bowing slightly."Your highness, will you not be having a meal?" The head maid questioned. "As you have been here with us since morning. You must be hungr

Damien's POVBrielle had somehow been finding ways to get into the palace, which was quite irritating for me. I had no idea how she was doing it, especially since I had instructed the guards not to let her anywhere near me. But somehow, she kept finding her way around it, and it was increasingly frustrating."Can you just let me be?" I said to her with a sigh, meeting her gaze."Damien, please, just hear me out. We can go upstairs to talk... or even talk here," she said, her voice pleading. "I didn’t mean for any of that to happen. I don’t like how you’re angry at me and treating me this way. If you would just give me a moment—or a listening ear—""I’m not interested in giving you a moment or a listening ear. Kindly fuck off. Or should I spell it out for you?" I snapped."Oh dear," she murmured, exhaling. "What do you think I have to say?""Everything was glaringly obvious from the night of the banquet," I said coldly. "When I saw you with that fool.""It might not seem obvious to you
